Chapter 541: burning a poisonous scorpion

“Host has reached a dry area and the amount of water produced by the water condenser will be halved from now on until host leaves the dry area to a normal area.”

Looking at the message their thoughts changed for a moment.

They still had three days of time before they have to leave this forest survival mode to enter a different survival mode.

They came to the front of the cave and are ready to move forward.

But they would not step in until the last moment.

Before that they would check the beast that is guarding the entrance of the desert mode of survival.

While they are checking the things dream worm has already noticed the creature that is guarding the cave.

It is a level 20 poisonous scorpion.

Its exoskeleton is really strong and it is in the color of the surrounding rocks and sad.

Vikram was sure that he could not break it through normal means.

There are only way to kill this scorpion is either by hitting its eyes, cutting the joints or pushing it into a trap and burn it.

Vikram was sure that the insect type monsters have lowest intelligence capabilities.

So he plans to use the third method of burning the scorpion to get the maximum benefits.

With the decision he quickly moved to the side and made a big pit can covered it with spoilage of the trees.

The girls also helped him with bring burnable dried leaves, branches, twigs and other quick burning things.

There are also dried coconut shells that can create high amount of temperature when they are burned.

After the main preparations are done Vikram would be acting as the bait.

First he placed a piece of fish slice on the trap area and then he threw few fish slices towards the scorpion.

The scorpion is around 6 feet in length without counting its tail.

It is 2 feet wide and the tail is 9 feet long with a big sting at tits end.

The color if the sting is green which should be the symbol of vitality.

But here it is pure poison that can kill a person in a matter of moments.

Also any normal poison or muscle relaxant or other corrosive substances would not work on the scorpion.

The girls are hiding far away.

Vikram has wooden basins filled with burning coal stored in his personal space ready to use at any given moment.

He was silently hiding behind a rock waiting for the level-20 poisonous scorpion to take the bait.

He can use the meat of other creatures but the meat of fish has the higher because of the strong smell.

The scorpion was really attracted to the smell but its movements are really slowly and did not go to the bait directly.

It waited for a long while before it went out.

The reason why it went out is because some other creature that came out at that time to eat the fish meat.

It was a big rat that came out of nowhere to eat the fish meat that Vikram placed as bait for the scorpion to follow and fall into the trap.

But this rodent took the chance to spoil the plants of Vikram.

Fortunately Cylia used small plant vines to hold the cover and did not let the entire thing cave in to the hole.

Right then the scorpion followed silently and captured the big rat that is eating the fish meat without a care in the world.

The scorpion moved on the top of the cover and killed the rodent.

Right then Cylia let go of the plant vines and the entire cover caved it.

In order to let the scorpion fall into the trap completely Vikram also dropped a bolder right on the top of it creating problems with its center of gravity.

So it was unable to use its capabilities to climb up suddenly.

Vikram immediately dropped the burning coal and fire basins into the spoilage into the pit covered with all kinds of flammable waste.

It immediately lit up.

With the big bolder on its back it could not move out of that place suddenly.

The rat was shot using a cross bow by Vikram.

So it could not get out that spot either.

Finally the entire spoilage lit up increasing the temperature rapidly.

Vikram did not go near that pit because the tail of the scorpion was moving around rapidly with strong painful wails of the scorpion.

Vikram was sure that he could not kill that scorpion completely with just the fire.

But he is trying its best to not to let the scorpion out of that pit with fire.

During this time Cylia used the plant vines to drop off more spoilage into the pit to increase the flames more and more.

The burning smell can be smelt with thick smoke everywhere.

The reason why Vikram did not let Yue, Ginny and Cylia to participate in the fight is because he thought of another problem.

Other than the monsters the other players are also dangerous.

Vikram could not take any risks when he is making so much commotion at this moment.

Well there is a thick column of smoke rising in this area like a signal.

How many people can see this and come to get a share in the pie.

So Vikram made Cylia, Ginny and Yue to be on guard while hiding and take care of other players that might come over to get their hard earned profits.

While they are waiting there is a man wearing thick coat like he was in some sort of cold area.

He has silver blond hair and pure white skin.

He is looking at the smoke column and came over rushing to the side to see what is happening here.

He is from the holy empire.

He is at the rank of deacon in that country and is a very young and strong man.

Chapter 542: there is a second scorpion

He is from the holy empire.

He is at the rank of deacon in that country and is a very young and strong man.

His name is silver Joe.

Unfortunately he came to this place where Vikram is.

He would be buried here and his things would become good things of Vikram later.

The scorpion burned really well and it finally died without any movement.

Right then Joe appeared out of nowhere and attacked Vikram.

Vikram has already noticed him and even his girls have noticed him.

But Vikram gave them a sign language gesture to stay put for the time being.

Right when Joe made the sneak attack on Vikram, Vikram acted as if he did not notice and jumped out.

There is a small damage to Vikram but it did not damage him much.

Vikram ran towards cave that leads to the desert mode of survival.

The reason why Vikram suddenly changed his thoughts is because he saw that inside the cave is a golden treasure chest.

With golden treasure chest, this one level 20 poisonous scorpion is not enough to balance the things.

At least that creature should be over level 40 or there is more than one level 20 poisonous scorpion monster guarding this place.

So Vikram led the man towards the cave at his fastest speed.

While they are running the three girls used special means to let the smoke and burnt smell of the poisonous scorpion towards the cave.

This would attract the danger hidden inside.

Vikram and all the girls covered their noses with wet cloth before they started the entire thing.

This is because the burning smell is not the problem but the burning poison can release poisonous mist.

The slight amount of poisonous mist that Vikram inhales through the wet clothe would not cause him any problem because of his resistance towards the poison.

This poison resistance was obtained from the poisonous frog before.

Vikram has already told them and they understood the situation clearly.

As for Joe, he is almost as strong as Vikram in strength and stamina but his agility and other stats are lower.

This was observed by the insight skill of Vikram and he also noticed it in his simulation.

But the simulation did not mention anything about the second scorpion.

All it mentioned is that Vikram solve the guarding force of the entrance and entered into the desert mode of survival.

Also he found that he has solved the hindrance from some unknown source easily.

This hindrance can be a beast or players that are also present in this place.

He was sure that the smoke would attract someone and that someone appeared here.

After going into the cave Vikram did not stand there because this place has many pitfalls and quick sands in the sandy part of the cave.

The rocks in the cave can sink down with a gentle touch.

But the place that Vikram is running is the place that the scorpion walked before.

He specifically stepped on the poked areas of the land where the scorpion moved before.

This way he came close to the golden treasure chest but suddenly took a side turn and ran on the wall with his full speed.

Joe behind him did not expect and he has already noticed some of the pitfalls because he stepped on the wrong place.

But he was lucky enough to find balance and did not fall into the pitfalls.

Also he noticed the strange cries and crawling sounds of those insects in the pitfalls and all over the place.

The insects are naturally the scorpions.

Vikram that stepped on the wall jumped back with a big jump and landed straight behind the man chasing after him.

Also his steps landed straight on his steps that he walked in before.

With that he immediately ran out at his fastest speed.

But before running he threw the bloody he collected from various beasts in a basin straight at the man behind him.

Joe that was splashed with blood did not react immediately because he has inhaled the poisonous gas for at least for 10 breaths during his chase behind Vikram.

This was enough for him to unlock the first level of poisoning into his blood.

With this his reaction speed was reduced by a large margin.

At the same time there is a slight trembling sound from the cave inside the cave where the golden treasure chest is present.

Another big scorpion appeared from inside and came straight to the person splashed with the blood.

Also the cooked smell of another big scorpion has made this scorpion angry.

They should be a couple and all these small scorpions are their kids.

As Vikram expected this is the most dangerous thing.

Joe immediately froze up looking at the second scorpion.

Vikram that was about to run stopped for a moment and took out a plant fiber rope that was tied into ring and a knot at one end.

He threw it on the top of Joe and captured him in his shocked state.

Then Vikram did not look back and run forward while dragging Joe towards the previous burning area.

While Vikram was away the three girls already took the bolder that is pressing the body of the previous dead scorpion and dropped more spoilage and plant waste that can increase the flames more.

After doing that they ran back into the forest to hide among the trees.

Right at that moment Vikram ran back dragging Joe with the rope.

Unfortunately he fell into many other traps one after the other with many baby scorpions biting on his body and stinging his body.

He screamed loudly attracting most of the attention.

He cursed Vikram loudly but that is all he can do at his current situation.

As Vikram dragged him the big scorpion followed behind them closely all the way to the fire pit.

Right then Vikram stopped in front of the fire pit.

Chapter 543: many good things that fit Vikram perfectly

As Vikram dragged him the big scorpion followed behind them closely all the way to the fire pit.

Right then Vikram stopped in front of the fire pit.

He stopped at that place and looked at the scorpion that was very close to the man he dragged.

He is already foaming from his mouth because of the poisonous stings from all these small baby scorpions.

Vikram took another grass root rope that was tied in a circular knot and flicked it on the top of the scorpion.

The target is actually the tail of the scorpion.

Since the scorpion moves forward the tail would bend forward normally and the rope moves backward.

When it reached the bottom Vikram pulled hard to tighten the rope and then stared to run again in a different direction.

He came to the other side of the pit and Joe was left back.

The scorpion came over and cut Joe in half with its big pincer like hands.

It did not notice the rope tied to its tail because it is currently made about the loss of its partner.

That is the burnt scorpion.

Vikram could not pull the scorpion directly into the fire pit.

So he called for his women to hold the other end of the rope behind him and wait for his signal silently.

Right after the scorpion killed Joe its target was shifted towards Vikram.

Vikram was already ready for this matter and right then it took two steps forward Vikram used the force to pull and his girls also pulled.

The moving body can be pulled easily than a stationary body.

So with the strong pull force of 4 people at the same time the scorpion was pulled into the fire pit.

But then the grass rope that is holding the scorpion was burnt and cut by its pincers.

Vikram quickly moved to the edge to drop few more boulders on the scorpion so that he could not move.

It tail is still free and it was about to hit Vikram right then the whip of Vikram fell around him and he was pulled back.

The sting of the scorpion just missed him with a hair’s breath.

Vikram was shocked for a moment and came back to his senses.

He immediately walked back while throwing the spoilage from the plants like dried bark and leaves from his space into the pit again.

Fortunately they dug the pit deeper and even with the two scorpions they can still manage to fry the scorpion till it died.

They are not idle during this time.

They went to collect more died bark and dried leaves so that they can burn the other pits back in the cave to burn those other baby scorpions too.

This way they will not have to worry about many problems later.

With that they spent the entire day killing these baby scorpions.

At the end they got few goods rewards.

First are the two level 20 monster cores of the two scorpions.

Vikram told Cylia to use one of the monster cores on the whip that he gave her.

Then he put away the other monster core for different use.

After that he got the meat of the scorpion.

It was the poisonous meat.

Right now they are not strong enough to consume this meat.

But they can improve their resistance by consuming the baby scorpion meat first and improve slowly.

Fortunately Vikram is there to cook them into something delicious instead of the bad tasting things.

So they did not have to worry about many things.

Second thing is the personal space and base core of the dead man.

He really got some good things.

Among them there is an upgradable dagger made out of the tooth of a saber tooth lion.

Vikram gave this to Yue and asked her to add the poisonous monster core to it to upgrade.

Then he rummaged through the remaining things before asking their permission to upgrade his base.

Well it is a team effort and they accepted Vikram’s thoughts.

So Vikram directly upgraded his base to level 14.

The consumed materials were not much and Vikram quickly replenished them.

Also every one of them got a share of the materials and they are safely stored in their bases.

Other than that from now on they would be sleeping with Vikram in his base.

So they filled their bases to the brim.

Then the third important thing is the golden treasure chest.

Vikram quickly opened it and the things inside were our one by one.

Vikram got a new cross bow design that can upgrade his previous cross bow design.

This cross bow has a magazine that can fit up to 6 arrows in a magazine.

This way he can shoot automatically and continuously.

There is a special potion that can improve the intelligence and sensing stats of a person by 100 points directly.

There is a strange thing called lucky clover that can be put in to the base of a person.

The person and the others that sleep in that base would have extra luck every day.

Other than these three there is also a skill called the sand controller.

The strange thing is that all these things fit Vikram perfectly, except for the crossbow that can be used by others as well.

If he takes all these things then he can keep the group really safe.

Vikram did not take the things directly instead he asked the girls to make their choice.

Vikram did give them all the good things he had without saying anything.

So they decided to let him have these things so that he can improve faster to gain more benefits later.

It is not like Vikram would leave them behind.

Vikram was always the first one to protect them from harm.

So naturally Vikram becoming strong would give them more chances to get better things later.

With that they made the final decision.

Chapter 544: entered the desert mode of survival

So naturally Vikram becoming strong would give them more chances to get better things later.

With that they made the final decision.

Vikram first drank the intelligence and sense improvement potion that added him 100 stat points in both these stats.

Immediately dream worm increased it further by releasing the sealed power.

The distance he can scan now is over 200 meters radius around him.

He can now search and sense most of the creatures in this area.

So their desert survival would be very easy.

Then the lucky clover was placed in his base that would help them all have improved luck.

He also let the manufacturing table to upgrade the current cross bow.

Here the string of the cross bow needed to be changed along with the magazine.

Well he did not have the proper string.

The string set by the system and original design is the string that belongs to a deer monster or a horse monster.

But he did not encounter this kind of monsters in the entire forest survival area during these 15+ days of searching.

So he came to a conclusion that finding them is not that easy or need special situation to encounter them.

So he can only use the temporary replacements.

Fortunately he made more than one cross bow and he can switch them when needed.

As for the sand controller skill this skill looked more like the skill that Gaara can use in Naruto.

This was given to Vikram because he is the strongest person with big pool of Magic energy in him.

Naturally he got the skill too.

With this skill along with the sensing of dream worm he can killed the enemies with simply sand penetrating their weak spots.

These things are arranged quickly Vikram is more like a walking killing machine than a normal person.

He is like a walking fortress with the attack range of 100 meters around him.

They are right in front of the desert mode of survival entrance cave.

They got the familiar message.

“Ding

Congratulations host for discovering the desert mode of survival.

Number of entries is 4 people only (0/4)

You will receive bonus survival points for discovery and entry would give you extra survival points.

The entry restriction is that the host should at least have a base of level 10.”

Vikram nodded his head and the girls are also happy.

But Vikram did not enter directly.

Once again he simulated just in care to see if everything he planned succeeded.

To his surprise the survival points he has on hand are just enough for him to buy the things he wanted from the mall.

With that solved he sighed and found that he was going towards the depths of the desert for some reason.

Well he can only simulate for a day in this survival world and he could not check more.

Just in case he sold little more things and collected more materials quickly while keeping his balance at the current amount or higher.

After all the preparations are set he took the girls to enter into the desert mode of survival.

There is one more day for them to spend in the forest mode of survival.

But they don’t want to use that time because if another strong player came here to cause trouble or some strong monster appear here they will not be able to face it.

So they decided to enter the next mode of survival quickly.

Vikram also told his girls about the survival mall that would open when they enter into the desert mode of survival.

As for how he knows about that he did not tell them.

They all thought that it is some sort of future sight skill or something like that.

So when Vikram was changing the goods before they are also very busy with the work.

………………..

They finally took the step and entered into the desert mode of survival through the cave.

When they walked into the sandy area of the hot desert the first thing they faced is the hot dry air that hit their faces.

The temperature is around 45 degrees.

They can easily be tanned in this kind of environment.

But they followed Vikram and they have to go through with the hardships without the problem.

They still believe in him and his reasoning.

Right then the blue screens appeared in front of their faces showing the survival mall and special entry notification.

“Tring

Congratulations host, you have successfully entered the desert mode of survival.

You have 1 year of time to find the next mode of survival or the intersection point like the forest survival mode.

Host would receive the extra survival points for entering the desert mode of survival.

Host can buy things from the survival shop using the survival points.

This is a onetime service that is only available when host enters into the new mode of survival with long stay time but not the intersection points.

Chose wisely and buy the things you need the most host.”

Vikram nodded his head as he expected.

After the introductory message the blue screen changed and the survival shop opened.

There are dazzling array of things in the store that can make many people spin their heads just looking at them.

There are many categories.

Vikram saw that there are many skills that are magical just like the skills that can be earned through the fantasy worlds.

Similarly there are many artifacts and survival things.

These things can be taken to the real world and can make a person stronger.

There is delicious food, water and beverages.

There are many snacks and things that could not be bought easily.

There are many kinds of medicine and healing skills.

There are protection charms and other things.

But all these things are consumables that would be gone after using them.

There is nothing that is related to improving their stats.

There is nothing related to improving their luck.

Chapter 545: important items from the survival mall

There is nothing that is related to improving their stats.

There is nothing related to improving their luck.

While checking the things Vikram came to the section that is named as unique items.

This is the section Vikram got the two things to spent all of his survival points from the simulation.

When he came to this there are only two things on display.

One is the card called the map of desire (one time usage).

Second is the card that said item of desire (one time usage).

The map of desire card would cost him around 40 thousand survival points.

The item of desire card would cost him 10 thousand survival points.

Vikram doesn’t know why he wanted these two cards so much.

The amount is exactly the amount of survival points that he was looking for before.

So he directly bought these two cards and the remaining survival points are left for emergencies.

Others exchanged the things they thought as useful and important.

Well there is nothing that can permanently strengthen them in the survival mall.

So what they bought is mostly medicine and some blueprints related to convenience weapons and other things.

They also bought an air conditioning device to keep the insides of the base cool.

Upgrading the base in the desert is very hard.

Similarly upgrading the base in snow or water is even harder.

So they got the things they thought as important along with life comforting things like air conditioner design and fridge design blueprint.

The materials required for them can be opened up through treasure boxes.

As long as they had the design they will naturally get things from the treasure chest.

Before the forest survival mode all the things that people obtained are daily necessities and small things.

But after crossing the intersection point the things would change to the next level.

The system store is gone after the purchase and confirmation.

Then the women came over to Vikram to see what he bought.

There are only two cards in his hand.

Vikram was still thinking on what to use these cards for.

He really wanted to buy these cards and he regretted not buying them.

While thinking, he suddenly got the idea of what these cards are used for.

The first card can be used to become a map to point at the treasure chest that has the tier skilling card that Vikram wanted.

The card that can let him skip a tier with full bonus of complete chaos points at the highest level.

He immediately used the card and a map that looked like a virtual holographic map appeared.

It is still the card but the map appeared in front of Vikram and the girls that pointed deep into the desert.

The map can be zoomed in an out.

It showed various locations of the map from their location to deep into the desert till there is a symbol of treasure chest.

Along the way it showed many land marks, obstacles, beasts, stopping areas, replenishing areas and everything.

It is more like a detailed and completely planned treasure map.

It even mentioned the beasts that they have to face along the way with multiple detours along the route.

They can make the choice of taking the detour.

This would change the direction of the route they are going.

It also mentioned the safest route and the hardest route along with the levels and names of all the beasts along the way.

But it also gave out a cautious remainder.

“Tring

The map will only show the direction from the location of the host to the destination.

After the host reaches the destination the map would self destruct.

Map would not show anything other than the route to the destination.”

Vikram and the girls were dazed and Vikram told them what he wanted to find.

The girls were also shocked because the card that is only one in the entire survival event is present in the desert that they choose.

Vikram also doubted that they are this luck.

He even thought that it was because of the lucky clover that they got before.

But the system gave out a message that poured hot water on them in the desert.

“Tring

There are many locations in the survival event where the level skilling card was placed.

But as long as the first person obtains the card all the other cards that are placed would be removed directly.

Only one person and the first person can get the card while the others can only dream about this matter.”

With the clarification from the system Vikram and the girls got the answer they needed.

Then their eyes fell on the second card that Vikram had on his hand.

Vikram can get one important item that he wanted.

Looking at the card Vikram started to contemplate again.

He was thinking what he should bring that would be best in their current situation.

While he is thinking he suddenly remembered that he really missed his fully arranged bag pack that he carried everywhere on earth.

It has everything and now he has upgraded it to the real world level for all kinds of survival situations.

But he doesn’t know if he used the card he would get that only the bag or all the things inside.

Also there is a restriction that the card told him before he can use the card.

“Tring

Host can summon only one important item from belongs to the host that is non living into the survival event.

Host cannot summon things that did not belong to the host.”

Suddenly Vikram found a loop hole in this matter.

In order to solve his doubt Vikram asked the system a question.

“System, I want you to define what it is meant by one item.

Does a first aid box filled with all items can be considered as a single item?”

“Tring

Yes, host the first aid box is considered as a single item.”

Chapter 546: nuclear bomb bullets appears again

“Tring

Yes, host the first aid box is considered as a single item.”

“Then my all purpose travel bag with the necessities arranged in it be considered a single item.”

System: ….

System doesn’t know how to reply to this question.

Well even the system needs time to think before answering because of the contents of the all purpose travel bag of Vikram.

Vikram not only upgraded all the things with the materials from the real world.

There is also modifiable gun that can be modified into many ways which is very lethal as long as there is enough energy.

But the most dangerous thing is the nuclear bomb bullets that Vikram kept inside the bag.

He could not replenish them after being used.

The real world did not have nuclear energy reserves.

He could not get them from the fantasy worlds as it is considered as restricted item by the system.

There are 13 nuclear bomb bullets that are currently available for Vikram to use.

Vikram was reluctant to use them in the early stages.

Based on his estimate these he can still use these bullets against the chaos monsters in the fourth ring.

He did not use them against the chaos monsters because he still needs to get the genetic essence from them.

The nuclear bomb bullet would contaminate the genetic essence and it could not be extracted even with the extraction skill.

So he can only put them away first.

Actually he kept them separately for the time being because he plans to use them against the opponents that are at tier 4 level.

But right now things are different and he needs more safety.

The monsters here are different and the survival is the most important thing here.

So Vikram wanted to know if he can get his all purpose bag pack right now.

The system that was silent for a while finally gave an answer.

The all purpose bag pack would be considered as a single item as well.

This is the loop hole in the original restriction of only bringing food and water within 2 kg limit before.

Vikram immediately used the card in his hand to summon his bag pack that was placed in his room on the ark island.

The bag vanished there and appeared in front of Vikram.

His women don’t know about this matter as they would not enter his room under normal circumstances.

In front of Vikram and the girls a bag pack appeared.

It looked like a big travel bag pack with many things hanging or sticking out of it.

Vikram immediately opened the bag pack and checked the things inside.

Immediately his face showed the bright smile.

The women around him also looked at the things inside and felt that it was normal travel bag pack.

Only after Vikram explained the specialty of his bag pack did they understood what is happening here.

They did not expect that Vikram even thought of this kind of thing and prepared for this too.

The most important thing is the nuclear bomb bullets that Vikram explained to them that made them smile.

Even if there is a ghost it is still a being made of energy.

The nuclear bomb bullet might not harm it physically.

But the energy wave released from it can easily cause severe damage even to a ghost.

With this assurance the smiles on the faces of the girls grew bigger and brighter.

Also with this kind of weapon they can easily kill powerful beasts or creatures to gain the higher level treasure chests.

When they thought of the things that Vikram consumed before they felt that they made the right choice in following Vikram.

Now they can enjoy the benefits from their choice from before.

Vikram quickly separated the things in his bag pack and sent it to his personal space.

The gun was not loaded with nuclear bomb bullets instead it was modified into a high pressured vacuum bullets air gun.

This can kill any beast that is around level 10 and damage the beasts that are around level 20.

The energy source is naturally the high powered battery he inserted into the gun slot.

The range of these bullets is not long only around 20 meters.

The closer the target is the higher is the damage to the target.

Currently this is enough if there is a big danger he can switch the things quickly.

After arranging these things Vikram took out some tools for the heavy temperature area.

They are not going to continue immediately.

They would rest first and then continue to move forward later.

Vikram took out his base and went inside with his women.

The currently location they are in is right beside a cliff wall.

It is not possible to climb this flat cliff wall and the entrance they came over was already closed.

There are two suns in the sky right now and the temperature is around 45 degrees.

Other than the cliff behind them everything in front of him is sand and dunes.

There are some dried trees around at the northern side.

Also the ground there seems to be a little more solid.

Vikram checked the map and found that this place is not that better and there is a quick sand trap nearby.

For now they are safe.

Vikram and the girls drank some water to rehydrate and let their bodies adapt to the temperature.

After that they put on the hats made by plant leaves by Vikram before coming here.

Also they applied some cream that was made by Vikram on their exposed body parts to keep them cool.

This was prepared using the herbs that Vikram found in the forest survival mode before.

With the preparations done they started to move along the direction of the map.

Along the way there are few areas with traps and beasts mentioned on the 3-Dimensional holographic map.

These places are considered to be where there are treasure chests.

Chapter 547: another map from the devices of bag pack

Along the way there are few areas with traps and beasts mentioned on the 3-Dimensional holographic map.

These places are considered to be where there are treasure chests.

So their target would be these areas with monsters listed.

Because of this their travelling path became zigzag like thing.

But the girls did not have a problem with that.

The heat is too much and they have to take frequent breaks from time to time to cook off.

They are sweaty from all the heat.

The water they had is really sufficient for them to use without a problem.

Fortunately Ginny was there with ice magic.

She can just make the water cool.

They can mix in with some fruits and things that Vikram collected before to have cold fruit juice as well.

So they are not particularly in bad mood.

They are happy with the things even in this survival world.

Vikram took out a telescope that is powered by some sensing devices inside to check the surroundings when they climbed to the top of a sand dune.

Vikram can sense by a distance but that did not mean that he can see kilometers of distance easily.

Instead the telescope that he set in his bag pack can check the area around 100 kilometers radius as long as there are no obstacles in its path.

Vikram put his base out and got on the top of it and held the box with a holder connecting to the telescope.

Then he gave the command to do the survey.

The telescope turned around in a circle in a snail pace.

It took 360 seconds to complete the full circle and everything is recorded.

After recording it gave out a beeping sound to alert Vikram that the survey is completed.

Vikram knows that it is okay to check some things.

The desert has one of the scariest things like the bullet ants in the forest.

The scariest thing is actually the desert scarabs.

They would travel in groups and are the most dangerous things in the desert.

It is very dangerous to encounter them.

It is best to avoid them completely.

So this is the first priority that Vikram thought of checking.

He doesn’t want to encounter these creatures.

Their individual level might be small but their collective power is dangerously high.

Vikram got off the top of the base and came down.

Then he took a tablet and connected it to the box under the telescope stand.

The information was transferred quickly and Vikram got the view of 100 kilometers radius.

Many important things were pointed and marked.

To be precise the telescope would recognize the things like living creatures, land marks like high raise things or strange things….

This data including their distance from his current location along with the image taken would be presented to Vikram.

This would directly create a miniature map for Vikram to navigate even in a no man land without any problem.

While looking at the map formed in the tablet Vikram compared it with the map that leading to the center of the desert.

The map leading to the center of the desert is much bigger than the small map that the telescope drew.

The map drawn by the telescope is only one fourth of the distance of the Map leading to the center of the desert.

This means that the distance that Vikram has to travel is more than 400 kilometers towards the center of the desert.

The center of the desert is not absolutely known but Vikram thought that it was the center of the desert because such an important thing was hidden there.

So conservatively this desert is more than 1000 kilometers diameter circle.

That is the known information.

This means that they have to travel for at least for 1000 kilometers to reach the other end of the desert.

The desert can be bigger and there might be other changes that he doesn’t know.

But they at least have some leads and goals to go on for the time being.

The girls around are not stupid and they understood the things clearly.

They saw the map and got a clear idea.

They found a green spot around 40 kilometers from their place.

There should be an oasis.

But there will be danger here.

So they have to be careful.

In this survival event there is no such thing as safe place.

There will be a safe place temporarily if one can clear the monster on that spot.

This is their first destination.

After making the decision they started to go towards the area with the greenery.

They are not normal humans that can only travel for a small distance.

They can travel for a longer time and farther distance because of their improved physique.

Even with that they would require at least 8 hours of walking to reach that location of greenery with their current capabilities.

Well it is desert and they might encounter some dangers along the way.

They might have to take detour because of the unsafe land like quick sand or ground traps.

So they have decided that their journey time should be around 10 hours including breaks and everything else.

If they started their journey now, they will reach their destination around after sunset.

Since it is a desert the time of the day would be longer.

Not all deserts are like this but the desert mode of survival is like this.

So the night is short, which is a good thing for them.

In this kind of place the day time with the sun is much safer than the night time where they could not see the danger with their eyes.

So naturally they prefer the day time.

As for resting they would take turns to rest during the day time.

Vikram can also use ice magic to some extent because of the special mode of training before to improve in an all round way at that time.

Chapter 548: anaconda sized poisonous snake under a bush

As for resting they would take turns to rest during the day time.

Vikram can also use ice magic to some extent because of the special mode of training before to improve in an all round way at that time.

So he and Ginny can take turns to cool the base and have some good rest during the day when required resting.

They moved on like this and the more they moved inside the higher the temperate increase is.

Well it is not increased by much when they came to the green area.

Along the way they have to take a small detour because of the quick sand that was disguised as normal area.

The closure they are to the green area the more the amount of loose sand reduces to some solid ground.

The place did not have loose sand instead it has a solid ground.

But there is a problem.

There is half food wide and 6 meters long snake coiled under the shadow of the large scale bushes.

The snake is greenish yellow in color that perfectly mixed in the color of the bush and the ground.

If Vicky did not have dream worm they will not be able to recognize this matter.

Vicky took out his gun and modified it a little.

The snake in front of them is a level 20 creature and it would be startled if they made the attack.

Vicky wanted to solve the snake with a single attack.

So he modified the gun to shoot the returning arrow and a bunch of arrows.

With the dream worm pointing the directions Vicky aimed at the location where the snake’s heart is present.

The girls stood behind Vicky to back him up at a moment’s notice.

They are all ready in attack stance.

The returnable arrow was upgraded with the wind wolf monster core from before.

This gave this arrow more piercing capabilities of the wind.

With the modified gun the amount of force with which Vicky can shoot the snake is no less than the power of a bullet from a sniper.

With added force from the piercing nature of the arrow a single shot was enough to neutralize this level 20 snake.

The snake was resting in the shade without any movement.

It did not know that it would be dead in the next few moments.

Well Vicky was silent holding his breath to concentrate.

His skill related to projectile weapons gives him the highest accuracy.

So naturally he took the shot perfectly.

The arrow is so fast that it pierced through the shell of the snake straight into the heart of the snake.

But as soon as it pierced it vanished from the wound and returned back to the hand of Vicky.

If the arrow stayed like that the snake can still moved to attack them.

But since the arrow came out of the hole and returned back to her, the blood started to flow out of the heart of the snake at a rapid pace.

The snake noticed them and wanted to attack them but the suns outside is really hot with the sand almost burning.

The temperature is as high as 47 degrees.

The blood started to flow out quickly and it could not crawl out with its current injury and pain.

Vicky and his group moved back at a study pace as if drawing the snake out of that place.

The snake twitched and crawled for a while before completely falling on the ground.

Yue wanted to go to it to check.

But Vicky stopped her while rolling his eyes.

“She really is a stupid assassin.”

Vicky thought and said to her.

It is acting dead.

It is still fine and it can attack again.

So they did not approach the snake and waited for it to die completely.

The dream worm is good at detecting the brain activity and vitality of the snake to inform Vicky.

The snake twitched all over once again with its vicious eyes looking towards Vicky and the girls before dying.

After it is dead Vicky moved close to the snake and let the system decompose the snake.

When the snake is decomposed Vicky got some good things.

Level 20 poisonous snake monster core x 1

Poisonous snake meat x 12 (Increase poison resistance)

Poisonous snake skin x 1 (Crafting item)

Poisonous snake fangs x 2 (Crafting item)

…………….

Vicky looked at the things and found that they are all good things.

He wanted to use the poisonous snake monster core to improve the lethality of the returning arrow.

For all the creatures that he wanted to kill but not eat he can use this arrow instead of other weapons.

The kind of creatures like bugs that are not eatable in his dictionary can taste the power of this arrow.

After making the decision Vicky immediately let the arrow consume this monster core.

Then he went to the work bench to make two daggers using the poisonous fangs of the snake.

They will be either given to his women or sold to get survival points.

As for the snake skin it was temporarily placed separately as it is not decided what to do with it for the time being.

With the things done they went to check the bush where the snake is resting before.

They found a silver treasure chest.

Also she felt that it is lower level silver treasure chest.

This is just a feeling and they don’t know if it is true.

When they opened the silver treasure chest they got very normal things.

20 liter water bottles x 6

25 kilogram rice bags x 4

Spices pack x 8

Healing potion (4 uses) x 2

…………….

This made the people dumbfounded for a moment.

Well they did kill the snake easily but that snake is as big as anaconda.

Also it is very poisonous with camouflage appearance.

How the things that came out of a silver treasure chest can be so low.

Chapter 549: dangerous creature under the oasis

Also it is very poisonous with camouflage appearance.

How the things that came out of a silver treasure chest can be so low.

Suddenly Vicky spoke.

“It should be that we have reached the next level and it is automatically reduced the treasure in the treasure chest.

There should be many factors for choosing the treasure in the treasure chest in random appearance.

So it is natural.

We will think about the other things base on the future data.”

After telling these words to them Vicky distributed the supplies among the four of them to store them in the personal space.

This is a common thing every time he got the things.

Everything would be distributed on the spot so that they would not have any difficulties in the future.

Vicky and the girls started to move forward following the green trail for few meters to come to a depression with a puddle of water under the shade of some desert trees.

It is not big only around 2 meters in diameter.

As for the depth, Vicky was shocked that it was over 5 meters deep.

He immediately became suspicious and took his women back out of the depression area.

Then with the help of dream worm he started to check the oasis more carefully.

He always felt like he would walk into a trap if he moved close to this area.

This sense of crisis is on the same level as he faced the big shadow creature from abyss when he tried to get the first silver treasure chest.

The situation is very similar to the current situation.

Vicky doesn’t want to move close to this oasis now.

He told his experience before to the girls and they felt a slight dread.

Looking at the terrine and everything Vicky felt like he has seen something like that in a different sense.

It is an underwater creature that would make this kind of thing to attract other creatures.

When other creatures enter this place the beast would open its mouth and directly swallow the other creatures.

It is a terrifyingly big creature that hides under water or sand like this.

As soon as the thought appeared in the mind of Vicky he immediately pulled his women to go get out of this place.

Then he took out a tablet and showed the image of the creature that would eat the people.

But it is not triggered yet.

He took out his phone which is developed to a high level portable computer and let it take a scan on the area and then calculate the similarities.

He wanted to make sure that there is no danger before entering the oasis area.

Also staying here would be dangerous and they might want to leave if their guess is correct.

Vicky can still kill this creature as long as he spends some nuclear bomb bullets but he doesn’t see any benefits here.

He was reluctant to use the nuclear bomb bullets here.

So he quickly gave up the thoughts of staying here and moved further back.

Right when they are moving away they saw a scene that they did not expect.

A desert wolf pack appeared near the depression area and it slowly went down towards the center of the oasis.

Vicky and his group stopped to take a look.

Right when the desert wolves pack went to drink the water at the center of the oasis there is a slight tremor and rows of teeth appeared from the sand.

The teeth are like fangs of a huge monstrous creature as the entire oasis vanished.

The wolves fell onto those fangs and impaled by them.

Later they turned into meat paste and fell into the stomach of that creature.

“Graaaaarrrrr…..”

There is a loud roar from the creature and it sank down into the ground slowly.

Vicky and his girls are terrified.

Well they have seen many such creatures before but facing them without their powers is the biggest challenge.

They are just in that position.

They are fortunate enough to reach a moment before and retreated perfectly to survive.

If they stayed there and went close to the oasis, then they would have already died.

Vicky and the girls sighed and decided to move farther away from here.

So they walked along the map for another hour and decided to rest there for the night.

While they are resting Vicky spoke.

“If that creature was killed will we get a treasure chest?

Where the treasure chest that this big creature is guarding should be hidden?”

Vicky said making the girls think about this matter.

But they felt frightened for a moment.

It is not because of that creature.

It is because of their situation and helplessness.

So they were frightened for a moment and calmed down.

That night the three girls hugged Vicky tightly to sleep.

Ginny on the left, Cylia on the right and Yue on the top of him slept peacefully hugging him rightly.

Vicky had a good night sleep even though it is hot.

Ginny cast a cold spell to make things cooler in this place.

Vicky did not fall into deep sleep.

He is in semi sleep state to be vigilant at all times.

Well some things could not be controlled so he can only stay here silently to looking at the situation.

There is nothing that happened in the night.

So they decided to move towards another green location in a different direction.

Fortunately Vicky’s group has enough water.

Vicky has divided his base to have a washing and cleaning area.

So they don’t have to find a place in this desert without hiding spots.

They started to move again and this time they journey would take them around 6 hours.

They would reach that location around the time of the noon.

Along the path there are few poisonous bugs like scorpions, centipedes, and snakes attacked them.

But all of them are simply level 10 or level 12 creatures.

Chapter 550: visible danger is much better than invisible danger

Along the path there are few poisonous bugs like scorpions, centipedes, and snakes attacked them.

But all of them are simply level 10 or level 12 creatures.

Most of them are guarding a wooden or iron treasure chest.

So it was easy to kill.

The rewards are all water and food.

There are rarely design drawings to upgrade the base.

All of them are around level 10 to level 15.

The other green area is the place with plenty of desert plant vines spread like river.

Vicky did not have much hope for the water here and feels that the monster should be some sort of desert plant.

These vines might strangle them if they are not careful.

Before facing this monster they decided to take the rest and eat something to replenish their strength.

After they ate something and rested they walked close to the green area.

There are long desert plant vines that grew tens of meters of distance forming a near circular spot.

Because of the caution they only came to the edge of the area and let Cylia try to communicate with the plant.

At the same time Vicky asked Tian Meng to search the surrounding area to see if there is any life form other than these plant vines.

Also they are searching to see if there is any treasure chest nearby.

It is better to have a treasure chest nearby than to not have a treasure chest.

If there is no treasure chest then the problem is bigger than having a treasure chest with a beast to guard it.

Simply put visible danger is much better than invisible danger.

After searching for a few minutes they did not find any treasure chest.

This made Vicky worried.

Right then Cylia tried to communicate with the plant.

The information she got is that there is a small oasis or water puddle at the center of the area where there is a treasure chest.

This information is enough for Vicky to become more suspicious.

So they immediately backed off.

This is a dangerous place.

The plant wants to lure then into the center and the situation would be no different from the previous oasis.

So they backed off.

Vicky on the other hand had an idea.

That is they got to the top of the dune that has a certain height.

Then he took out his bag pack.

After that he took out a suction cup like thing from the bag pack and connected it to a special metal stick.

Then he transformed his gun to harpoon launcher model and aimed towards the center of the area.

Vicky wanted to see if there is really a treasure chest.

The problem is that Tian Meng and his power could not sense that long or that deep into the ground.

The amount of place they searched did not give them any proper information.

It was actually caused by interference.

So naturally they choose the other way around.

The gun was connected to an adjustable drone that is working on the solar energy.

Vicky controlled it and it took off.

It went straight to the top of the water puddle at the center of the green plant vine area.

Vicky carefully zoom the camera of the drone to check the situation under it.

He did not let the drone fly too high because he don’t know if there is any flying monsters like vulture present in this desert.

He did not see doesn’t mean that they did not exist.

Being cautious is much better than feeling sorry for the loss later.

When he magnified the camera he found that there is indeed a treasure chest in the puddle of water.

It is actually a golden treasure chest.

They are not here for water.

They don’t care if the plant tell them truth or a lie.

The point is they want to take the treasure chest if it exists.

That is the most important thing here.

That is what they are searching around for and came to this place.

Since there is a treasure chest Vicky immediately switched the position of the gun and pointed the suction cup straight at the treasure chest.

He has checked before.

All the treasure chests have equal weight.

It is just around 2 Kg.

The drone can lift this small weight easily.

Even if there is a problem the rope connecting the suction cup would be left and the drone would return to him in auto pilot escaping all obstacles.

The suction cup aimed carefully towards the treasure chest and fired.

“Plup”

There is sound of something falling heavily in water.

The moment the suction cup came into contact with the treasure chest it immediately stuck to it because of the sensor.

Immediately the drone retracted the suction cup to pull the treasure chest very slowly till the treasure chest was in moment.

Right at that moment the place started to vibrate.

Vicky knows what would happen.

So he immediately improved the retraction force of the drone to pull the treasure chest out of that place.

From the drone camera Vicky saw many sharp fangs like teeth came out with a circular mouth.

It moved up with a fast speed covering the entire area.

The girls that watched the situation were frightened but there is also anticipation of getting the treasure chest.

So they stood there without making any movement, so that they would not disturb Vicky to move the thing.

Fortunately the treasure chest was successfully pulled out of the mouth of the monster.

Many plant vines wanted to move up and catch the drone that is taking the treasure chest.

But Vicky set it in automatic mode so that it can escape and come to him quickly.

It has the sensing range of 1 kilometer from the tablet in the hands of Vicky.

So Vicky can move farther away so that the drone can come over without bringing the monster along with it.
