Chapter 14: To the Oasis
The Wasteland Oasis, as the name suggests, is a small area of aquatic grass and green space above the wasteland, and the area that can be called the Wasteland Oasis must compound a lot of requirements!
But the most important thing is to have a source of water!
Most oases are formed by streams and lakes, and the larger oases are even formed by rivers and rivers! However, that kind of existence is only in legends, and even Zhao Xiaochuan has never seen it in person!
As a very precious source of water in the wilderness, the oasis naturally attracts many fierce beasts to drink, and the comfortable environment has an extraordinary attraction for the gentle beast of the two-headed cow.
But again, the two-headed cow doesn't stay in the oasis for long.
You know, it's not just humans who salivate over two-headed cows!
In the wasteland, there are many higher-level, larger, carnivorous beasts, which are even more dangerous for two-headed cows.
The wasteland is not completely safe for every creature, and the identity between the predator and the prey is sometimes only a matter of seconds.
However, when you have no clue, it doesn't hurt to try your luck on the Oasis, and with a group of newcomers who have almost no experience with the wasteland, it is also a very good choice to settle on the Oasis first.
After a long day of trekking, Zhao Xiaochuan finally took Zhou Tian and the others to the vicinity of the oasis. Along the way, the hunting team didn't encounter any great danger, but the most encountered were the hunting teams that also came out of the town, and almost every team had a yearning for two-headed cows!
This has to make Zhao Xiaochuan sigh, the power of money is really powerful!
As for the fierce beasts, they only encountered two litters of red-eyed gray rabbits and a group of acid-poisoned possums.
The hunting team is crowded, and although ordinary minions and townsfolk make up a large part of it, it is still very easy to deal with the red-eyed gray rabbit. The two litters of red-eyed gray rabbits were all killed and hunted, and then they were skinned and cramped by everyone, and everyone was given a certain amount of rabbit meat and rabbit skin!
Suddenly, the joy of hunting began to overflow on everyone's faces!
"This wasteland isn't that scary! As long as everyone works together, they will definitely make a fortune! Looking at the real harvest in their hands, the fear of the wasteland in the hearts of many people has been dispelled a lot.
As the captain, Zhou Tian and the four big men around him did not stop everyone's behavior, this time they came out to hunt two-headed cows, and it was not a bad thing to let this group of people who had barely been out of the town see blood in advance.
Zhao Xiaochuan, as a pathfinder, although he did not take action personally, Wang Ming, who is good at observing words and feelings, took the initiative to send two large pieces of rabbit meat, saying that it was distributed to Zhao Xiaochuan, and everyone naturally did not dare to have any objections!
And Zhao Xiaochuan naturally will not refuse, although he bought some rations to carry with him this time, but being able to have a little more meat by his side is also a guarantee.
As for the acid possum, they are one of the most annoying creatures in the wasteland!
This small creature resembling a mouse has not become so large even after the cataclysm, it is the size of an ordinary cat before the cataclysm, and the combat ability of a single entity is even more low, even inferior to the red-eyed gray rabbit.
But in terms of disgusting, it's definitely the crown of the wasteland!
Acid opossums generally wreak havoc in groups on this wasteland, large in number and eat meat and vegetables, everywhere they go is like locusts transiting, any plant and animal will be swept away by them, and for humans, their most disgusting thing is the acid poison that is full of their whole body!
The lethality of this acid venom is not very strong, even if it is shot head-on at an ordinary adult man, the maximum lethality caused is only a large area of skin ulceration, which is not enough to kill immediately! But even so, the person who was attacked by acid poison, even if he received timely treatment, the whole person could be regarded as almost disfigured!
Therefore, even some more professional hunting teams are reluctant to face a large group of acid opossums! Fighting against this group of guys, one accidentally is disfigured, and the most disgusting thing is that this kind of thing can be said to be worthless!
The flesh, fur, and even bones of the whole body are full of acid poison, and they cannot be used or eaten!
Even if it is hunted, it is simply a hunt for a whole lot of waste!
However, fortunately, the number of acid opossums encountered by Zhao Xiaochuan and others this time was not much, only a dozen or so, which did not cause too much damage to the team, only a few little minions had a few drops of acid venom on their arms, and they were all coated with herbs in time, and there was no big problem.
It's just a pity that the corpses of the group of acid possums were directly abandoned by everyone, and Zhao Xiaochuan had no chance to sacrifice these acid possums alone.
"A dozen acid possums, at least they can provide me with 1 energy point! No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat! I'd like to buy the Lynx first! Zhao Xiaochuan felt a pity in his heart, but there was no way, under the noses of so many people, he couldn't directly sacrifice these possum corpses!
"But this acid opossum shouldn't be haunted in this area! Fortunately, there are not many of them, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with! Zhao Xiaochuan shook his head, although it was a little strange why the acid opossum appeared in this area, but he didn't think much about it, and pointed to the oasis about a few hundred meters away: "Captain Zhou, there is an oasis ahead!" ”
"What an oasis! I didn't expect there to be such a wonderful scenery on top of this rancid wasteland! Zhou Tian looked in the direction Zhao Xiaochuan pointed, and Rao couldn't help but be slightly shocked after seeing the big scene. In the distance, a well-watered stream, gurgling water, meanders west along the moor, on both sides of the stream, you can see green trees and grass, trees are tall and verdant, intertwined, like a coiled dragon, and the surrounding desolate environment forms a sharp contrast.
And most of the other people have been living in the town, where have they seen such a wonderful scenery, and all of a sudden everyone's eyes widened and yearned!
"Brother Zhao! Such a wonderful place, let's go over it!! ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! It's been a day in this rancid wasteland, let's go to the oasis and be merry! ”
Suddenly, everyone was eagerly urging!
"Wait!" However, Zhao Xiaochuan was not in a hurry, but looked at everyone coldly, and there was a trace of murder in his eyes: "Before entering the oasis, I will first make three chapters with you!" This oasis is one of the livelihoods of those of us who live on the wasteland, and I can take you into the oasis, but no one is allowed to destroy the vegetation of the oasis! Don't pollute or waste the water of the oasis! If someone violates these points, don't blame me Zhao Xiaochuan for really turning his face and not recognizing people! Maybe my force is not very high, and I can't do anything to you! But believe me, if any of you really offend me, I have a way to put you to rest here in this wasteland! ”
