Chapter 27: Fighting the Desert Blade Worm

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Few more minutes passed, but Zhou Chen was not approached by the two foreigners. Instead, he encountered a sandstorm. Or rather, all six Survivors were in the range of the sudden sandstorm.

The wind from the sandstorm was not very strong, but the visibility clearly reduced. They could only see about 200 meters clearly. Walking in the sandstorm, their faces were quickly covered in sand, and sand could easily enter their eyes and nose.

Because Zhou Chen was wearing a mask that covered his mouth and nose, his situation was slightly better than the others.

He quickly took off his undershirt and covered his head, allowing his eyes to observe the outside through the thin gap on the light-colored undershirt.

In fact, the more professional approach at this time would be to find a shelter to pass this sandstorm, but Zhou Chen did not know when the sandstorm would stop. Under the circumstances, he still had to continue forward.

“This sandstorm is probably just an appetizer, I feel like something in the desert is about to emerge.”

Zhou Chen, who was wearing a mask and had his head wrapped, walked through the desert with some difficulty. He knew that the difficult times of the Survival mission had just begun, and it would only get more difficult.

“This sandstorm blew away the footprints of the people in front.”

Soon, he realized the first bad change. The footprints he had been following were gone.

Seeing this, he took out the iron rod from his inventory and used it to test the path.

This was to guard against some special terrain in the desert, such as quicksand.

In some movies that Zhou Chen had watched in his previous life, quicksand was extremely terrifying. It could devour a whole person in the blink of an eye.

However, after watching science shows, he knew that because of the density of the quicksand, it could never sink people completely.

However, it was hard to say in Survival missions. Zhou Chen felt that the quicksands here might not follow science, so he had to be careful.

Zhou Chen felt his entire body heat up as he walked along the skeleton road signs in the sand. His stamina was rapidly depleting, and even his head felt a little dizzy.

For a moment, there seemed to be no trace of the other Survivors around him. He did not know if they were too far away and were covered by the sand in the sky or if they were hiding somewhere.

He walked with the iron rod for a while more and heard a rustling sound that was different from the sandstorm, making him instantly alert.

“There should be monsters coming. What good timing.”

Zhou Chen slowed down and began to pay more attention to his surroundings.

Then, about five seconds later, he realized something.

In the desert about 30 meters away from him, there were several long trails approaching him. It seemed like something was wandering towards him from under the desert.

Seeing that there were more than one monster, Zhou Chen quickly squeezed out his strength and ran forward, because he did not want to be surrounded.

The monsters that were chasing him from under the desert seemed to have a special sensor. They quickly noticed his escape and sped up their pace. A few of them even stopped chasing from right below the surface and dived deeper into the desert, making it impossible to sense their movements.

Zhou Chen was intercepted by a monster after running for about ten seconds.

The monster suddenly charged out of the sand near Zhou Chen, its two sharp fangs cutting towards Zhou Chen’s neck.

Zhou Chen had been in a highly alert state this entire time, and his perception was fully activated. Naturally, he would not be so easily ambushed by that monster.

He nimbly bent down and rolled to the side, perfectly dodging the monster’s attack.

He quickly stood up and used all his strength to hit the monster’s head with the iron rod.

Bang!

A deep sound suddenly sounded. Accompanied by the splashing of some unknown liquid and carapace, the incomparably ferocious monster collapsed into the desert.

Zhou Chen finally saw the monster’s appearance. It was over two meters long and as thick as a person’s waist, but flatter. Its entire body was covered in some segmented carapace, and there were many short legs with sharp blades on its abdomen. It looked like a large centipede.

The carapace on its head was actually quite firm. If Zhou Chen was not strong enough, even if he used the iron rod, it would be difficult to blow its head apart.

[Passive Predator triggered: You have plundered the Desert Blade Worm’s passive skill, “Breath Holding I”. Do you want to absorb it?]

“Absorb!”

Zhou Chen immediately chose to absorb the passive skill of this monster and ran towards the bone path.

He had only run for less than five meters when he suddenly stopped and jumped back. A pile of sand exploded on the ground in front of him, the iron rod swept with all its might into the sand and hit the thing inside, sending it flying more than ten meters away, breaking it like dry noodles.

After killing this monster, Zhou Chen rolled on the ground to avoid the other desert blade worms that passed under his feet. He rolled to the side and stabbed the iron rod out like a spear, piercing through the skull of the monster that had just crawled out of the ground.

At this moment, a desert blade worm crawled out from two meters away. When the desert blade worm saw him lying on the ground, the short legs on its abdomen immediately moved quickly and charged at him. The two sharp fangs on its mouth were aimed at his head.

It was already too late for Zhou Chen to pull out the iron rod from the monster’s body. A round shield instantly appeared in his right hand and he charged towards the monster’s long fangs. The huge explosive force directly pushed the monster up and sent it flying.

Zhou Chen quickly got up and pulled out the iron rod from the head of the dead monster. Then, he charged at the centipede monster that had just flipped over.

The centipede monster was cunning. Seeing Zhou Chen take the initiative to attack, the two sharp fangs on its head quickly opened and closed, and the large number of short legs on its abdomen swayed at high speed. In the blink of an eye, it dug through the course ground and disappeared.

Zhou Chen did not panic at all when he saw this. He stood on the spot without moving, and then suddenly retreated at a certain moment. The round shield in his hand smashed into the ground like a sledgehammer, stirring up a circle of sand. Then, the iron rod stabbed into the depths of the sand, bringing with it an ear-piercing screech.

[You have killed the Desert Blade Worm. Reward: 1 Bottle of Mineral Water (Low Bronze)]

After the last monster died, an item was dropped.
