23: Chapter 23 Death Desert 6

Luo Yuejian awkwardly tried to twitch the corners of her mouth, but failed. She wondered what Camo Uncle would think if he knew that this card, comparable to an ancient famous sword, was just a trial card.

With the addition of Luo Yuejian's sharp card, the Mutated Desert Jerboa, which had previously left everyone in a panic, were actually cleared out in just over half an hour under her and Wolf-tail Guy's joint efforts.

Camo Uncle, the yellow-haired youth, Glasses Man, and Girl with Double Braids wiped the blood splattered on them by the Mutated Desert Jerboa, their peripheral vision casting complex glances at White-haired Girl.

Luo Yuejian did not perceive their cautious gazes. Because she had killed the most Mutated Desert Jerboa, she was splattered with an exceptional amount of blood, leaving her feeling sticky all over, accompanied by a thick, nauseating smell of blood.

In such hot weather, Luo Yuejian felt completely uncomfortable and, without any hesitation, walked towards the center of the oasis by the lake.

Seeing the direction Luo Yuejian was heading, Girl with Double Braids instinctively wanted to stop her, but was instead stopped by Wolf-tail Guy.

Confused, she asked cautiously, "Isn't that lake potentially poisonous? If that girl goes in to bathe and accidentally drinks the lake water, wouldn't that be bad?"

Wolf-tail Guy also began to walk towards the lake, his cold voice drifting over: "Since the Mutated Desert Jerboa dare to survive here, the probability of this lake water being poisonous is very low."

Upon hearing this, the yellow-haired youth immediately retorted, "Didn't you say these jerboa are mutated? What if they can absorb toxins!"

Wolf-tail Guy stopped and said indifferently, "If the Mutated Desert Jerboa can absorb toxins, then their blood is highly likely to be poisonous. You might want to think carefully about how you accidentally drank a few drops of their blood earlier."

After saying this, he walked towards the lake without looking back.

The yellow-haired youth's face turned livid; in his anger, he made a fierce gesture behind Wolf-tail Guy's back, then walked towards the lake with a face full of fury.

Seeing Glasses Man's hesitant expression, Camo Uncle smiled kindly and beckoned him, "Let's go, dying of poison is better than dying of thirst."

Hearing this, Glasses Man was persuaded and followed behind Camo Uncle, walking towards the lake together.

At this moment, the livestream room:

[ Damn, our Wolf-tail Guy is so cool! ]

[ I used to think sticks were so low-class, but watching Wolf-tail Guy wield it like that, I suddenly think it's so cool!! I'm going to go practice stick techniques right now! ]

[ Good luck to the person above. ]

[ Even my Yue's dodging movements are so beautiful! She's practically a fairy herself! ]

[ Others are in a sorry state when dodging monster attacks, but White-haired Girl dodges them like she's playing a game, floating past them effortlessly. ]

[ It feels like White-haired Girl knows light kung fu; she's so amazing! ]

[ Why hasn't that White-haired Girl been attacking? It feels like our Little Wolf has been doing all the hard work; isn't this too unfair? ]

[ Exactly, Wolf-tail Guy has been helping his teammates, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten a bloodstain on him. White-haired Girl only cares about herself; she has zero team spirit! ]

[ Please, White-haired Girl has her own abilities; she doesn't need teammates, okay? ]

[ It was the same in the previous game; it was purely by my Yue that they cleared the level. I believe in my Yue's strength; she can definitely clear the game on her own! ]

[ Heh, so petty after all. ]

[ Who are you calling petty! ]

...

[ Ahhhhhh, my Yue's strength is just too strong! One strike and she takes out a Mutated Desert Jerboa! ]

[ Who was it that said my Yue was petty and lacked team spirit just now? Come out and keep barking! ]

[ Heh, hilarious. Anyone with eyes can see that White-haired Girl only reluctantly attacked because of Camo Uncle's words. It's obvious she didn't want to save her teammates at all. ]

[ Are you a dog? You bark as soon as you're told to. Come on, bark twice more for me~ ]

[ Just tell me, did our Goddess Yue save this group of players or not? Who cares how it happened? ]

[ Heh, even without White-haired Girl, our Wolf-tail Guy could definitely have led this group of players out of the Mutated Desert Jerboa swarm! ]

[ Bark, keep barking like a dog. ]

[ So, the ability of the item card White-haired Girl drew is sharp cutting or something like that? ]

[ I feel like this item card's ability is quite weak... Although her card item shone brightly just now, the card is very small after all. It might be okay as a hidden weapon or Flying Dagger, but compared to those long spears and staffs, the disadvantage is still too great. ]

[ Indeed, but I think White-haired Girl should have the ability to maximize the effectiveness of this card. Her skills are still very impressive. ]

...

The night sky of the Desert is very beautiful. Without the air pollution of the city, the moonlight is bright, the stars are clustered together, draping a layer of silvery-white light gauze over the vast and desolate Desert.

The temperature difference between day and night here is extreme. Compared to the Desert, which is as hot as a steamer during the day, the Desert at night is so cold that it makes people shiver.

During the day, the yellow-haired youth was secretly mocking Wolf-tail Guy for wearing that windbreaker jacket, thinking he would get heat rash, but at night, he began to involuntarily envy Wolf-tail Guy's clothes.

Among everyone, he was the one wearing the least, only wearing a thin T-shirt with short sleeves, while even Girl with Double Braids was wearing long sleeves.

However, fortunately, they needed to travel at night, otherwise the yellow-haired youth would have been afraid of freezing to death in the night. He shivered while closely following the team.

Suddenly, the yellow-haired youth's body stiffened; he felt vaguely as if something was moving under his feet.

It must be a hallucination... The yellow-haired youth, whose limbs were somewhat numb from the cold, thought, holding onto a glimmer of hope.

Just then, a scream broke the quiet night.

Girl with Double Braids had tears in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs as she said, "There... it seems like something bit me..."

She moved her hand away from her covered calf, and sticky blood was clearly visible on her hand. Seeing the fresh blood on her palm, Girl with Double Braids's face turned even paler, her lips became extremely pale, and her eyes were filled with fear.

Wolf-tail Guy immediately walked over, and the others gathered around as well. While Wolf-tail Guy examined Girl with Double Braids's wound, Camo Uncle asked anxiously with a frown, "How is it? Is it serious?"

Wolf-tail Guy said in a low voice, "The wound is a bite, there is no black blood, so it seems that what bit her is non-poisonous."

Hearing this, Girl with Double Braids immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and her emotions calmed down a little. However, the next second, without any warning, Girl with Double Braids's body went limp, and she immediately fainted.

"What's going on?!" Camo Uncle was shocked and immediately looked at Wolf-tail Guy to ask.

Wolf-tail Guy frowned and shook his head; he was not omnipotent. He checked Girl with Double Braids's breath, and it was still there, and her breathing was not weak, so his brow relaxed slightly.

"Heh." The yellow-haired youth sneered, mocking, "Girl with Double Braids has fainted; it's obvious that what bit her is poisonous. You can't even tell that, yet you have the nerve to show off?"

Wolf-tail Guy ignored him, his brow still furrowed, clearly not listening to the yellow-haired youth's words at all.
