After climbing over a dozen or so undulating hills, the air gradually became dry, and even the weeds on the ground became scarce, until in the end only the kind of rough and dry artemisia grass remained, and they actually grew vigorously. 【擺渡】{Starter}

Here, it was already three hundred miles away from Broken Leaf City, infinitely close to the edge of the Gobi Desert in the Inner Desert.

However, to Zhou Yue's surprise, this place was not inaccessible, at least before the disaster.

For example, in Zhou Yue's field of vision at this moment, huge oil wells are erected in the distance, and closer is a town relying on this oil field.

It's just that at this moment, not a single qiē here looks like a human being, and the oil fields in the distance have turned into statues, becoming relics of the past, and in the entire wilderness, only the sound of the wind is wandering like a ghost.

"Zhou Da, send someone to investigate and see who else is here? If it's safe to do so, I'll camp here tonight. ”

Zhou Yue ordered that most of the houses in this oilfield town were well preserved, so he didn't think that the residents here had been murdered after the disaster, and that some obvious clues should be left anyway.

Soon, fifty rangers rushed into the town, and in less than five minutes, the results of the reconnaissance had been reported, no surprise, there was no one in the town, but there were also some not very obvious traces of destruction, and it had been a long time, and there were no traces of other beasts wreaking havoc here, and it was estimated that the inhabitants of the town had been away from here for at least half a year, if they were still alive.

After confirming these reconnaissance information, Zhou Yue groaned slightly, and ordered everyone to enter this abandoned town to rest, they had run nearly four hundred miles in the rain overnight, and after a not too fierce battle, they did not rest too much, and continued to rush for nearly three hundred miles.

And this desert town should be the only foothold and water supply point within a radius of 100 miles, so it is naturally impossible to miss it.

It's just that Zhou Yue soon received a report that all the wells in this abandoned town had dried up.

It's a troublesome question, and it's just as tricky!

Because even Zhou Yue himself, with his current strong strength, if he doesn't eat or drink, he can at most last a month longer than ordinary people, and it is impossible to eat and drink, and he also needs to pay the price of the continuous flow of strength and the decline of combat effectiveness.

So, it is very important to have enough food and enough water.

Not daring to slack off, Zhou Yue hurried to personally inspect the dry wells in the town, including the modern water storage equipment, and finally it was basically determined that these wells and water equipment were not caused by human factors to dry up, but for another reason, but it was not like a climate factor, because looking at those clues, these wells would not dry up for too long, at least before the disaster, it was normal here.

That's telling.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Yue found the largest well in the town, and then ordered someone to dig it.

At his command, hundreds of strong soldiers immediately stepped forward to dig, and soon dug a large pit with a diameter of more than ten meters and a depth of about fifteen meters in the same place.

This fifteen-meter depth is where the water from the well used to be, but now, what makes people wonder is that the fifteen-meter-deep subsoil is not the slightest bit moist, but as if it has been roasted by flames, and it is unusually dry.

Zhou Yue's heart was also quite strange, this was not due to the climate or the diversion of the underground river, because in the wilderness around this town, there were still many extremely vigorous artemisia grass growing, so there was no reason for it to become like this.

However, in this black city world, anything weird and strange can happen, so after thinking about it, he carefully activated the water confusion property, and placed his hands on the ground, wanting to rely on this property to sense the water veins below.

Originally, Zhou Yue was just curious, and he didn't really plan to sense anything back, after all, he had never tried this kind of induction, and his water confusion characteristic could only sense air and water flow in the past, and it was the first time to sense thick soil.

At the first moment, it was a little difficult, or a feeling of suffocation, but when Zhou Yue got used to this feeling, he found that he seemed to have an extra pair of inexplicable eyes in the soil, constantly flowing underground to inspect, and even a little uncontrollable.

Moreover, although his sensing in the soil is effective, it is very vague, and it is impossible to determine the exact location, let alone the underground water veins.

In just a few seconds, Zhou Yue felt as if he was about to die, sweating profusely, but at this time, an incomparably hot feeling was captured by him, and immediately, his perception of diving into the ground was as if he had been stung, and the pain was incomparable! He had to retract the Water Confusion trait.

"Not good!"

Zhou Yue, who came back to his senses, was shocked in his heart, and he could feel that an extremely terrifying danger was approaching rapidly.

"Disperse, order everyone, evacuate the town immediately, and assemble outside the town!"

Zhou Yue shouted, although he still didn't understand what was going on, the danger contained here was undoubted!

But less than a few seconds after he shouted the order, the ground of the entire town shook slightly like an earthquake, and at the same time, a terrifying humming sound came from the ground, as if the demon was about to wake up.

Immediately after, centered on the big pit dug before, cracks opened one after another.

With the appearance of these gaps, a fiery red scorpion that was only more than a foot long drilled out so quickly, their movements were fast, and as soon as they drilled out, they launched an attack on everyone around, and from a distance, it looked like countless fiery red flames were dancing with the wind!

"Poisonous Fire Scorpion, Level 45, Elite-level Flood Monster Worm, extremely poisonous, can spray magma flames, combat power rating, five-star!"

……

At this time, Zhou Yue finally understood why the residents of this town disappeared silently, why the underground water source here dried up, it turned out that this was the truth!

"Get out of the way!"

While yelling, the Cold Moon Long Knife in Zhou Yue's hand also turned into more than ten afterimages, killing more than ten poisonous fire scorpions that pounced in this direction, although these scorpions were terrifying, they were not enough to see in front of him, and the only trouble was that there were too many of them, so that he couldn't take care of them.

And at this moment, it seems that the whole town has crawled out of the number of poisonous fire scorpions, screaming for a while, the poison of these poisonous fire scorpions is quite violent, once bitten or stung, it will immediately continue to lose blood, those veterans have no problem, but those recruits are difficult to resist, almost one bite is poisoned.

Fortunately, Zhou Yue's previous retreat order was quite timely, plus they had just entered the town, so after desperately slashing and killing, they still rushed out of the town, but in the process, at least more than five hundred recruits died in the countless scorpion swarms.

But at this time, Zhou Yue didn't have time to be depressed, because the rumbling sound of the underground in the town was getting louder and louder, as if there was something terrible about a big guy coming out.

At this time, there were more and more poisonous fire scorpions in the town, and finally they converged into a red sea of flames, and it was roughly estimated that there were at least hundreds of thousands of poisonous fire scorpions.

Even Zhou Yue, in the face of this situation, can't help but change color.

These poisonous fire scorpions seemed to be quite violent, and following Zhou Yue and them, they rushed out of the town, and from a distance, they looked like waves of fire rolling.

In desperation, Zhou Yue could only let everyone retreat and attack at the same time, but fortunately, although those poisonous fire scorpions were terrifying, their travel speed was not comparable to theirs.

It wasn't until they chased two kilometers away in one breath that those poisonous fire scorpions stopped their pursuit and slowly retreated. However, at this time, Zhou Yue had other plans, these poisonous fire scorpions were all level 45 elite monster insects, which were just used to upgrade the recruits, in fact, in the previous battle process, many veterans like Zhou Da and Tuesday had already broken through level 45, which could be regarded as a stand-alone one, and there were so many poisonous fire scorpions in the town that it was enough for all the recruits to upgrade.

Of course, this process is going to be very dangerous, and you have to plan it carefully.

And this plan needs Claire's help, and her ice spell should be handy to deal with these poisonous fire scorpions.

Soon, Zhou Yue had a complete plan, in view of the fact that the level of those poisonous fire scorpions was too high and there were too many of them, he just formed an elite team of only 100 people first, led by him and Claire, including Zhou Da, Tuesday and other elite veterans, the level is guaranteed to be above level 40, and the equipment is also very powerful.

As soon as Qiē is ready, Zhou Yue will take the lead, with his current strength, even if he is alone in the scorpion group, he can also hold on for a while, but what he needs now is to tease and lure some poisonous fire scorpions from the town, and then Claire will release an ice spell to cut off their way, and finally a hundred elite veterans such as Zhou Da and Tuesday will rush up to harvest experience.

Wait for the level and strength of Zhou Da and Tuesday and others to improve, and then replace other soldiers, and repeat the cycle, and finally let the level and strength of all soldiers increase.

Of course, Zhou Yue also has to keep an eye on the big guy who has never shown up, if he guesses correctly, the poisonous fire scorpion king hidden underground is at least a legendary-level scorpion, but it can't be killed, that is a tragedy.
