When Zhou Chen heard the faint cry for help, he raised his spear and checked.
Soon, he recognized that this man was the first middle-aged man from Long Country to step into the desert.
Zhou Chen used a spear to poke away some of the sand on his body and found that his injuries were not light, especially one of his legs was almost broken. No wonder he would fall in this desert.
"You are in a terrible condition, sorry, I can't save you."
Zhou Chen took a few glances and decided to give up rescue. This person's injuries were too serious. He might need to lend him all the healing potions to have some effect, but he wouldn't do things that are at a loss.
"Save me... I'll give you... Two million... Dragon Kingdom coins..."
The middle-aged man on the ground struggled to raise his head after hearing Zhou Chen's words. Perhaps the hot desert caused him to have symptoms of heatstroke. His mental condition looked particularly bad, and even his voice was not clear.
"Two million... very attractive... but even if you really give it to me, I can't save it..."
Now Zhou Chen couldn't guarantee that he could finish this ancient desert road, where could he bring a seriously injured oil bottle.
"Three million...save me...give you and me...all assets..."
Seeing that Zhou Chen hadn't agreed, the man on the ground raised the price with difficulty.
"Forget it, man..."
Zhou Chen shook his head after hearing this.
"You are out of this situation now, no one can help you...but I can let you get on the road earlier and suffer less..."
Zhou Chen stated his real purpose for coming to this person. The reason why he was willing to take the time to check the situation of this hapless guy was to get something.
"If you are willing to take out your equipment, I can help you pass a message to your family."
Zhou Chen thought for a while, and felt that this was the most practical thing he could do for him.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an unspeakable silence in the hot air, and the middle-aged man on the ground did not reply for a while.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Chen pointed the spear at this man's neck, preparing to break him.
It is necessary for him to do so, otherwise the benefits will be given to others for nothing when this person dies or is touched by other survivors.
"Okay... You get closer... I'll tell you..."
Before Zhou Chen started, the man on the ground had a voice again, as if he wanted to say some last words to Zhou Chen.
"good."
Zhou Chen responded immediately, and the spear in his hand pierced the man's neck directly, causing him to fall into **** from a half-dead state.
There was a sound of objects falling on the sand in the air. Zhou Chen turned his head and found that it was an empty bottle of pure water.
"This person is too poor... I still have bad luck..."
He felt that he was busy for this minute and was a waste of time.
Feeling uncomfortable, he immediately used his spear to pull up near the person to check for any missing items.
Suddenly, in the sand near the man's palm, something shiny appeared.
Zhou Chen immediately picked it out with a spear, and found that it was a dagger that looked a bit sharp.
"Hehe, I knew that this person wanted to pull me back...but what I said just now also wanted to kill him, and he was right to do so..."
The reason Zhou Chen had just killed him when he heard that the man asked him to get closer was because he suspected that he had moved his mind. Now it seems that his guess is probably correct.
After picking up the dagger and the pure water bottle and storing them in his backpack, Zhou Chen checked other places, confirmed that there were no other items, and left directly and started climbing the high desert **** in front of him.
This high **** has a **** of about forty-five degrees and a height of more than one kilometer, making it very difficult to climb.
And soon Zhou Chen discovered that there were also quicksand traps in many locations on this high slope.
The entire climbing process was time-consuming, extremely boring and exhausting. When Zhou Chen finally reached the top, his sweat was almost drained.
At the very top, he just sat down and rested.
Looking into the distance, he seemed to be able to see a few hints of greenery.
"There should be an oasis at the end..."
Seeing the greenery in the distance, Zhou Chen, who felt physically and mentally exhausted, suddenly had a boost in his heart, feeling that the time to leave this ghost place was finally coming.
His gaze then looked towards the area closer to him, and found that there seemed to be a small spot on the desert below that was moving fast.
"That seems to be a person...skating?"
Zhou Chen's eyesight was good. He took a closer look and found that the little dot should be a person, or to be more precise, a woman skating.
"This guy is lucky. He has a skateboard suitable for this kind of long downhill, which can save a lot of time and energy."
With a little envy in his heart, Zhou Chen began to slowly walk downhill.
He is much easier going down this high **** than when he came up, but he can't be too careless. If one accidentally rolls to the bottom, he may be injured in the middle, or cause dizziness or even coma.
Zhou Chen walked steadily downhill with a spear in one hand and an iron rod in one hand, relying on their assistance.
It took less than a quarter of the time to go uphill before he reached the bottom of the high **** and began to walk along the long-distance, small-angle desert landslide ahead.
After walking for another twenty minutes, he met the monsters he was thinking of.
These monsters are something that looks like a lizard. Most of them are less than one meter long, and there are about sixty or seventy in total. They seem to be attacking by relying on pointed claws and spitting out long slender tongues.
They were all chasing the skater girl in front, but now they saw Zhou Chen coming, about half turned and rushed towards him.
Zhou Chen was somewhat satisfied with these monsters taking the initiative to come over. These monsters didn't seem to have high combat effectiveness, and there were not too many to deal with. He immediately rushed over with his spear and started fighting with these monsters.
With the first spear, he directly pierced the eye of the lizard monster in front, and pierced the tip of the spear fiercely into its eye socket, piercing its brain.
With the second spear, he swept vigorously and knocked the seven or eight lizard monsters that were about to surround him back and forth, hitting the same kind behind them.
Afterwards, he began to move and stab at a high frequency, killing the approaching monsters one by one, destroying them all.
In this battle, his gains were not small. In addition to exploding a bottle of pure water, he also exploded a stick and a passive skill.
