Song Ying fixed the tent in place with the firelight, and began to place two remaining boxes from the previous unpacking outside the tent as a table. He took out a portable grill to use as a stove, and put a small cooking pot on it to cook instant noodles.

It was unknown how long the fire would burn, so Song Ying planned to go to sleep after eating and let the system set a timer to wake her up.

Because she was alone, Song Ying was afraid that something would attack her and she did not sleep well. She woke up as soon as the system rang, and stretched her head to look at the fire. At twelve o'clock in the night, the flame of the fire had become much smaller, flickering in the wind.

After adding a lot of wood to the fire, the fire lit up again. Song Ying found that he seemed unable to sleep, so he huddled at the door of the tent and looked at the dark desert.

She really had no common sense about surviving in the desert, so she could only rely on herself. While thinking about how to pass the game, she was bored and digging the sand around her feet with an axe.

The "clang" sound of metal collision brought Song Ying back to his senses instantly, because the location was right in front of the tent, if he wanted to dig, he could only move the tent first.

In order to be able to find the location later, Song Ying directly stuck the axe vertically into the sand pile and began to pull up the anchor point that fixed the tent. He did not move the tent and put it directly into the backpack.

He took out a pickaxe and started digging under the sand. After digging for nearly an hour, the box was finally completely exposed. It was a purple box.

Unlike the usual boxes made of unknown material, this was an iron box painted purple with a rusty padlock hanging on it. Before Song Ying could knock the padlock open with an axe, it was broken by his bare hands.

This made Song Ying a little confused. If the data on his personal panel was not the same as before, Song Ying would have had the illusion that he had suddenly become stronger.

There was a parchment scroll and a compass in the box. Song Ying wanted to copy them but found that these two things could not be copied. They were probably props exclusive to the maze.

Song Ying opened the parchment and found that it was a map. It was drawn crudely but marked some oases and inhabited areas. There was even a city in the middle of the map.

The map doesn't indicate exactly how far it is, but the direction is there. Looking at the map, it's not a maze in the ordinary sense. You can go to the city in the middle first to see if you can find any information.

Just when Song Ying was immersed in the parchment scroll, she heard a rustling sound. It didn't sound like something crawling but more like the sound of sand sliding down.

Song Ying put away the parchment scroll and pulled out a piece of wood from the fire to temporarily serve as a torch. He never expected that when the light source just swept towards the boulder he had been leaning against, he found that the boulder was shaking.

What originally looked like a huge rock suddenly had red letters on top, just like the names on the heads of monsters in the game. There was no information about the level or health bar of [Rock Man], only a name.

Song Ying knew something was wrong with her name blushing. Before the other party woke up completely, she took out a compass to determine the direction, put away the fire, and started running towards the determined direction.

Song Ying started her night run in the middle of the night, confirming her direction as she ran. She ran for more than an hour and sat down on the sand dune to rest when she could not run anymore. From time to time, she looked in the direction she came from to make sure that the [Rock Man] did not follow her.

She couldn't run anymore. She looked at the time and it was almost four o'clock. There were still three hours before daybreak. She couldn't walk anyway, so she took out the fire she had put away earlier. After all, the desert was still very cold at night, and the light would ensure that some wild animals would not dare to approach her.

I couldn't sleep, so I had to take out the map and start studying the route, setting up oases that I could visit along the way.

When passing by residential areas, she still wanted to ask someone if there was any way to leave. Even if she didn't find any useful information, she could still find a way to get a camel or something, otherwise it might be impossible to reach the central city on foot.

The second half of the night was very quiet. Song Ying did not dig anything out of the sand, nor was she attacked by any animals. The [Rock Man] did not seem to chase her either.

Song Ying finished her breakfast and exercise before dawn, planning to set out at daybreak and try to find an oasis before dark so that she could rest there and find her box.

Song Ying had a bold guess that wherever there were green plants, there would be boxes. The number of boxes would depend on the number of green plants. She needed to go to a place with green plants and dig to have a look.

Song Ying did not rest at noon. She just ate a few pieces of bread with the braised pork she had made before. She also ate an apple after the meal. Although she was in a hurry, she really did not treat herself badly at all.

Finally, they arrived at the oasis on the map at around five o'clock in the afternoon. During this period, Song Ying encountered quicksand. As soon as he stepped on it, he found something unusual and immediately retracted his feet. In the end, he used a machete to test the sand before he was able to safely pass along the edge of the quicksand.

This oasis is not big and there is no water source on the ground. It is estimated that this oasis exists because there is water underground. This oasis does not have huge rocks like yesterday, which made Song Yingxian breathe a sigh of relief.

After walking around the oasis and not finding any animals, he found a wide and flat place to prepare a fire and a tent. When he finished everything before it was dark, Song Ying took a pickaxe and started digging in the oasis.

Finally, two iron boxes were dug up under the two largest trees in this oasis, one blue and one green, and the color level was not as high as yesterday's.

The box has no lock and can be opened directly. Inside are some basic daily necessities, bread and water. The blue one also has an additional material [sunscreen], which is an important material for making sun protection spray.

Song Ying had never found this thing in the trading house before, but he didn't expect to find it in the desert. So could he ask people in the desert area to help keep an eye out for it later?

Song Ying was not satisfied with the two boxes, and began to dig under some smaller trees. She did not find any boxes before dark, but this also confirmed Song Ying's previous guess that there would be boxes wherever there were green plants. She did not want to miss the oasis, but she did not know if there were any boxes in the residential gathering areas.

It was basically safe in the first half of the night as there was a fire. Song Ying was tired after a day of work and fell asleep as soon as she lay down. She got up in the middle of the night to add firewood to ensure that the fire would continue to burn. However, she really didn't expect that even though she didn't dig the box tonight, something would still be found.

After leaving the tent, Song Ying found a small group of scorpions crawling by. Song Ying showed no mercy and threw a torch over and burned many of them to death. The rest ran around. Song Ying took the axe and chopped as many as she could. The scorpions were too small and she couldn't chop them all in the end. Many of them ran away. She collected the scorpions on the ground, perhaps these things could be used as medicine or poison.

Now she didn't have to sleep anymore. She couldn't stand having this happen every night. She leaned against the door of the tent drowsily.

More than an hour later, the scorpions that had disappeared before actually came back, and there was a very special one among the scorpion group because she saw the name of that scorpion [Scorpion King]. The good guy actually called his own boss over, and still used the method of torches and axes, clearing out the small scorpions first, and then fighting the big one.
