On the third day of the "Capable One" Competitive Day, after Yan Feilin and the four of them rested on the corpse of the Sand Dragon for one night, Yan Feilin logged on to the Alice Network as usual to inquire about the content of the "Capable One" Competitive Day.

Not to mention, although there was a lot of content in the first two days, it was all inconsequential things, most of them complained about the difficulty of traveling in the desert, the lack of food and water, etc., there was almost no substantive content, but now Yan Feilin found two very useful contents.

"The first is the points transaction." Yan Feilin said: "Someone found a traveling merchant in a black robe in the desert, of course, it is not a real traveling merchant, but a blood cross looking for someone to play, where you can use points to buy all kinds of things, 10 points can buy a day's dry food or a day's water, and some desert equipment, maps, etc." ”

Zheng Jian was puzzled: "Sick? Such useful information is also put on the Internet? ”

Yan Feilin said: "That person used 100 points to buy a trapper type of shaped gun, and then withdrew from the "Ability One" competition day, I think this is the key, traveling merchants are not only able to buy food, but more importantly, those who know that they can't get the first place, can buy some good things, and then quit, this is like a reward, provided that you can find traveling merchants, at present, there are not many of them." ”

Zheng Jiandao: "Is there a coordinate?" ”

Yan Feilin looked at Zheng Jiandao like an idiot: "What kind of traveling merchant is a traveling merchant who can't move?" ”

He Xiao said: "What about another piece of content?" ”

Yan Feilin said: "The discovery of Sand Town in the desert is related to the content of the first link, it is the town of the Sand Sea People, it seems that I guessed correctly, it is not just a story, but a real existence, we have to go to Sand Town to see." ”

Wu Siqi said: "Our food is very sufficient, the first two days we ate sand beast meat, and now there are three days of dry food and enough to eat one day of sand beast meat, but I have to say that our fresh water is limited. ”

Each person can only carry three days of dry food and fresh water, and now two days have passed, although Yan Feilin, Zheng Jian and Wu Siqi have all got extra points in the preliminaries and get more food and fresh water, but He Xiao only has three days of fresh water, according to the current situation, if they can't find a water source, in the case of giving fresh water to He Xiao, fresh water can only support about five and a half days at most.

"Don't worry!" Yan Feilin said: "Even the coordinates of Shazhen have been announced, I compared the coordinates with the map, and in about three hours, we can reach Shazhen." ”

Zheng Jiandao: "If there is a town, there should be water and food, such an important news, if the content of the points transaction is because the other party withdrew, it is not interesting to hide it, but about the news of Shazhen, no one should be stupid enough to announce it, right?" ”

Yan Feilin thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's Lei Feng?" ”

Wu Siqi said: "Is it possible to be a trap?" ”

Yan Feilin said: "You mean to snatch food?" ”

Wu Siqi nodded.

Yan Feilin said: "I personally don't think it's very likely, this Alice network, I can get on, other people can also get on, there are only a lot of people who see this news, unless the other party gathers a group of people, it is possible to enter the town and kill one by one, but if there are really so many people, how should the food be divided?" Is it enough points? ”

He Xiao said: "The most important thing is that even if we know that it may be a trap, don't we go and take a look?" ”

Yan Feilin was surprised: "You have become smarter? ”

He Xiao scratched his head and said: "I am thinking that I want to cross the desert to reach the Sky Cliff, food and water must be the most important, any opportunity to get food and water, we should not let go." ”

He Xiao's words are to the point, if this is a trap, it is also a conspiracy rather than a conspiracy, because no one can resist not taking a look, this kind of opportunity really cannot be missed.

In this way, Yan Feilin and the four of them reached a consensus, turned the direction slightly, and moved towards the coordinates of Shazhen.

The three-hour journey is far away, not far or far, mainly because of the desert environment, and it is particularly difficult to catch up with the road, but Yan Feilin and the four of them still rushed as much as possible, and they saw Shazhen in two and a half hours.

After entering Sha Town, Yan Feilin and the others knew that it was absolutely impossible to be a trap, because there were many people in the town, two or three hundred, and at the same time, there was also the person in charge of the "Ability One" competition day.

This situation made Yan Feilin and the four of them a little confused, they needed to find out the news first, and the news was not difficult to inquire, of course, it was impossible for the contestants to leak the news casually, but wasn't there also the person in charge of the "Ability One" competition day, they played various roles here, such as innkeepers, restaurant owners, and mayors, just like NPCs in the game.

After Yan Feilin and the others asked separately, they got the news they wanted, and then gathered at the restaurant.

Restaurants can order food, but it is very dark, not currency, but points left over from the preliminaries, and different from the traveling merchants where 10 points can be traded for a day's water or a day's food, the food here is bought according to the portions, the most important is a platter of vegetables and barbecue and a glass of beer, which requires 30 points, and the cheapest is a broth and two black breads, which costs 10 points, but no matter which one it is, one is only enough to eat one meal, and the appetite is bigger, it may not be enough.

This is a naked pit man, and a fool knows that points can't be squandered so indiscriminately, but not to mention, there are indeed people who can't resist the temptation, in this kind of yellow sand environment, being able to eat fresh vegetables and cold beer, it is simply a god-like enjoyment, and what's worse is that the restaurant owner also puts the cooked food directly on the counter, which is called a fragrant, that is called a mouth-watering.

Yan Feilin remembered a famous saying for this, happiness is not how much money you have, but when you are hungry, you have a piece of bread, and pain is also not that you have money, but when you are hungry, you can't buy bread with money.

However, Yan Feilin's patience is still quite good, taking out their own food and occupying a table to eat, this restaurant does not prohibit takeout, and at the same time occupying the table does not charge money, which is a bit humane.

Yan Feilin said: "The information collected under the exchange, what I know here is that you want to go to the Sky Cliff, you can't go through the desert by yourself, you need to follow the designated route, if the route is not right, then it will be invalid, and it is useless to arrive." ”

Wu Siqi said: "I know that the route is not one line, but must go to several designated places, and Shazhen is the first stop. ”

Zheng Jiandao: "At present, everyone is looking for clues, and what I found is the same as Wu Siqi, and it is only effective to arrive at the Sky Cliff after passing through several locations." ”

He Xiao spread his hands innocently and said, "I don't understand what they're saying at all." ”

Yan Feilin ignored He Xiao and continued: "Let me summarize and speculate, Shazhen is the first stop, we must find the location of the next stop here, and I still think that the story of the first link is not to cater to the theme of the expedition, this Sand Town has a background, it is the town where the Shahai people once lived, but of course it is deserted and abandoned at the moment, so I boldly guess that the next location we are going to will not be the ruins that the Shahai people are looking for in the story." ”

"I agree." Wu Siqi said: "I will add another piece of news, I found out from one of the contestants, this was originally a deserted ruin town, many monster hunters who begged for a living in the desert knew it, and there are many strange words engraved on some ruins in this ruin town, so, I guess whether the story will be true, those words are really left by the people of the sand sea, and this is the clue given to us." ”

"This clue ......" Yan Feilin scratched his head and said, "I have to go and see before I can find it." ”

Wu Siqi said: "I rubbed it down. ”

Wu Siqi put a piece of paper on the table, and everyone looked down and looked confused, even Yan Feilin, when he didn't become a wanted criminal before, he often read library books at school, and almost all the books he read could remember seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, or eight, but there was no information about this kind of text in his memory.

"Not at all impressive, and it doesn't look like a pictograph." Yan Feilin said: "Are you sure it's not newly engraved?" ”

Wu Siqi said: "I am sure, the signs of weathering are obvious, and the dry cracks due to the sand and dust do not look like they are artificially old. ”

Yan Feilin shook his head and said, "I don't see any clues, will it be too high-end?" ”

Wu Siqi nodded, he actually felt that his idea was not very reliable, archaeologists did not necessarily know this ancient script, especially if it only belonged to a certain tribe and did not circulate the ancient script, if the clues were set up here in advance, it should be possible for everyone to find it, not this kind of ancient script that most people are almost impossible to decipher.

Yan Feilin said: "I'll open the electronic map and see if there are any ruins in this place first." ”

It's impossible to find a complete map of the desert, the Federation is not interested in drawing maps, and monster hunters will draw down the areas they have walked through in order to survive, but they will not publish them, but some of the more well-known places in the area can still be found.

"I found two places, but neither of them was very reliable." Yan Feilin said: "The first one can't even be regarded as a ruin, it is a laboratory ruin, the Federation originally established a laboratory in the desert, specializing in the mutation process of the Iron Spine Beast, because the experiment did not progress, and it was abandoned at the same time by monster attacks, and now it is a monster entrenched in the ground, but it is obviously not in line with the story of the Shahai people, the other is the Loulan Ruins, a very famous ancient country in the Western Regions, but it is completely covered by yellow sand, there are many Loulan ruins in the desert, and the ancient tomb cloth of Loulan, there are true and false, however, I don't think this is true, Because the distance is too far, it is at least thirty days away from here, and it is completely opposite to the direction of the Sky Cliff. ”

Everyone bowed their heads and was silent, all thinking, but as far as the current clues are concerned, let alone thinking, it is difficult to even connect them in series.

"Hey, why not? Am I asking too much? ”

Yan Feilin and the others looked back, and saw a strong man slamming his fist on the counter of the restaurant, glaring at the person in charge who played the restaurant owner, obviously arguing.

However, the restaurant owner was indifferent and said indifferently: "The rules are such rules, if you are not willing to follow the rules, I can only declare you out." ”

The lethality of these words was quite terrifying, and the strong man who seemed to have a high force value was knocked out in an instant, with a hateful expression, but he didn't dare to make a move on the restaurant owner after all, and left in disgrace.

Yan Feilin inquired about the person at the next table, and soon knew what was going on, the strong man was willing to use 30 points to buy food, but asked to remove the vegetable barbecue platter and replace it with three bottles of beer, and then naturally the person in charge refused, and then staged the quarrel just now.

After Yan Feilin listened, he couldn't help but caress his chin thoughtfully.
