The shell of the [Scorpion King] was very hard. Song Ying's axe created sparks but failed to break its defense, so he had to quickly switch to his Tang sword.

The knife was swung out and hit the scorpion. Its raised scorpion tail was directly cut off by the sharp Tang knife. The scorpion began to become violent and rushed towards Song Ying regardless of anything.

Song Ying was now more adept at using the elementary sword technique, and he continued to chop at the scorpion with his backhand. With just two cuts, the scorpion was killed.

The scorpion that was originally chopped into three pieces suddenly disappeared, and a purple box appeared on the ground. It turned out that the high-level boxes in this oasis were given by killing monsters and could not be dug up.

This time, there was no supplies in the box, but another parchment scroll and a golden key. Not sure what the key was used for, Song Ying put it away first and began to look at the parchment scroll in the firelight.

Unlike a map, this parchment scroll is more like a diary, recording some things.

[Am once said that there is a tomb to the west of the central city. It is the tomb of a king from long, long ago. It was originally there well, but one day a group of bandits broke into the king's tomb, causing the king's ghost to be furious.

This originally vast grassland turned into a desert. Tourists at night would encounter monsters. Countless people died at the hands of monsters, and the king’s tomb also disappeared in the desert.

Am said that the king didn't want to be disturbed anymore, so he hid himself. Only the destined person with the golden key can see the king's tomb again and pass the king's test to leave the desert.

I found the golden key, but I could never go back to Central City. I was stung by a scorpion and had no medicine so I could only wait to leave this world. Am couldn't wait for me to go back either.

Passers-by, if you see this trouble one day, please take me back to Emu. 】

[Ding, trigger the hidden mission: Abel's Last Wish. Please bring Abel's diary back to Amsandiyur in Central City and give it to him.]

It turned out to be a mission, and judging from Abel's diary, the exit of this so-called desert maze might be in this so-called king's tomb.

Song Ying took the map and replanned the route. There was no need for her to go into the residential areas. Instead, she could arrange more oases along the way to obtain more boxes and perhaps more clues.

Judging from her travel progress over the past two days, she should be able to reach Central City on the fifth day, but she still needs a camel so that she can arrive on the afternoon of the fourth day.

Looking at the number of days on the panel, although it is past 0 o'clock, the day has not become the third day, and it is still showing the second day. In other words, this day is counted as one day after 12:30 noon, the time when I came in. I should be able to catch up.

After planning the route, Song Ying packed his things, had breakfast, and waited for daybreak to set off.

On that day, Song Ying passed by two small oases and dug up three boxes, but did not encounter any special boxes. After coming out of the oasis, Song Ying walked towards the next location she had planned.

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, she arrived at the oasis where she was going to stay tonight. The oasis was not small, with a small lake in the center. From the surrounding environment, it could be seen that many animals came here to drink water. Song Ying chose a leeward side far away from the lake to set up the tent and light a bonfire.

When it was getting dark, Song Ying heard the sound of bells, "Ding... Ding...", which could be heard from very far away. It was the camel bells hanging on the camels.

When he stuck his head out of the tent, he found a group of people walking towards the oasis. Song Ying's position was not only sheltered from the wind but also in some blind spots. The group of people did not notice Song Ying until it suddenly got dark. The bonfire lit by Song Ying became very obvious in the darkness.

Everyone in the caravan looked towards Song Ying, who had no choice but to show up and explain to them that he was just there to spend the night and had no ill intentions. Naturally, there were some smart people in the caravan, who greeted Song Ying in a friendly manner and then arranged their camp as far away from him as possible.

There were many of them and it was very lively. Song Ying listened to the noise and planned to go to sleep first. Based on the previous two times he had spent the night in the oasis, he was afraid that there would be more things to fight tonight.

The people in the caravan were very sensible and did not come to disturb Song Ying. They still woke up in the middle of the night to add firewood to the fire. The people on duty at the caravan side were very alert, and their attention was all on Song Ying as soon as they heard any movement.

Song Ying ignored them and started searching the oasis based on his previous experience. He found three supply boxes in the oasis, but no special boxes.

It was already three o'clock, and Song Ying was getting a little sleepy from waiting. She was actually not very sure that something would attack at night, until she heard the howling of wolves at almost four o'clock.

This wolf is very smart. It didn't show up with its pack until people were most sleepy. Song Ying naturally didn't dare to delay and quickly put the tent into his backpack, expanded the campfire, and nimbly climbed up the nearest tree. He squatted on the tree with a Tang sword in one hand and a crossbow in the other, keeping alert.

There were many people on the caravan side, and they took action when they heard the wolves' howling. They drove the important supplies and camels to the innermost part, surrounded the outside to defend themselves, and built a circle of fires in the outermost circle in an attempt to block the wolves' attack.

Tonight the wolves did not retreat because of the fire. With the howling of the leader wolf, several wolves rushed directly towards the caravan, easily jumped over the fire and pounced on the people. The people in the caravan were also quite skilled, waving their swords to chop at the wolves that pounced on them.

The crowd became more and more chaotic because of the wolf's attack. Song Ying, who was on the tree, originally wanted to shoot at the wolf king with a crossbow, but he didn't expect that the wolf king was very sharp and noticed Song Ying's murderous intention as soon as he had it. While retreating, he called on two of his wolves to come to Song Ying.

As the wolves got closer, Song Ying fired his crossbow, which could lock onto targets within five meters. One of the wolves that rushed over was shot. The other one saw its companion being shot to death, and it howled even more ferociously and came towards Song Ying. Naturally, this one was pierced through the head by an arrow again and died instantly.

The wolf king seemed to realize that the situation here was not good, and added a few more wolves to the caravan.

Song Ying mainly used wolves to harass the caravan. Seeing the actions of the Wolf King, she knew that the caravan was a little far away from her and she couldn't shoot the wolves over there. Before the new wolves came, she quickly changed to a tree closer to the caravan, and the direction she went was also closer to the Wolf King.

As soon as Song Ying climbed up the tree, he shot two arrows at the wolves on the caravan's side. Due to the distance, he couldn't lock on the wolf 100%, so one of the arrows hit the wolf's leg, and the other flew past the wolf's head and landed on the sand.

Seeing the situation of the two arrows, Song Ying turned around and aimed at the wolf king, whose position was farther away than the caravan.

Calming down and aiming at the target, Song Ying shot an arrow which didn't even touch a hair of the wolf king, but it angered the wolf king, and all the wolves around him rushed over here.

Song Ying had no choice but to put away the crossbow, pick up the Tang sword and start chopping the wolf.

Song Ying's swordsmanship these days was not practiced in vain. Even if she couldn't kill one person with one sword, she could still kill one with two or three swords. With her help, the pressure on the caravan was greatly reduced.

Song Ying didn't want to save the caravan, but he encountered a pack of wolves in the desert. If he didn't help them, everyone would die here. He had to help to save himself.
