Chapter 26: Oasis Giant Ape

"By the way, has anyone actually broken through the second wave of monkey attacks? Can anyone tell me what the situation is like further ahead?" After satisfying her vanity, Zhao Yuxin did not forget the original purpose of her message on the World Channel.

Moon Boat: "My husband and I have already broken through two ambushes by the monkeys and are still in the Oasis; I don't know what will happen next."

Duyan Chuanzhang: "We passed two monkey attacks here as well, but my teammate has been pedaling for an hour and still hasn't found where the exit to this Oasis is."

Iron-Loving Station Master: "The people above are still not fast enough; we have been moving forward for an hour and a half and haven't seen the Oasis exit either."

……………

Zhao Yuxin recalled and asked, "Ajiu, do you remember how long it's been since we left the monkey troop?"

Zhu Zhiquan pedaled the Tricycle and replied, "I don't remember, but it definitely hasn't been over an hour."

"I see." Zhao Yuxin looked at the surrounding trees. "Ajiu, how about we stop moving for now and take a break here? What do you think?"

"That works." As soon as Zhu Zhiquan stopped the vehicle, Zhao Yuxin took the Dagger Spear and slashed at a nearby tree.

Clang!

The Dagger Spear actually made a metallic clashing sound when it hit the tree. Zhao Yuxin nodded slightly and said, "Just as I thought, there is something wrong with these trees."

Zhu Zhiquan looked at Zhao Yuxin in confusion. Zhao Yuxin explained, "When I entered this Oasis, I didn't notice anything unusual, but while we were chasing the monkeys, I felt like there was something wrong with these trees."

Zhu Zhiquan touched the surrounding trees but didn't find anything wrong. "Is there a possibility that the level of these trees is just much higher than ours?"

"Perhaps. Anyway, there are plenty of scenarios like this in novels; let's just go with the flow." Zhao Yuxin added milk and fruit to the ice cream machine, while Zhu Zhiquan opened the World Channel to check the latest news.

Xiagu Houwang: "Brothers, I feel like living here is pretty good. Since those monkeys won't leave their own designated areas, I plan to just stay here."

Iron-Loving Station Master: "I think it's better not to stay in one place forever; after all, we don't know what the trials ahead are."

A Jiuba Zhougong: "I also think it's better to stay here. I've decided to settle down here and not leave."

Duyan Chuanzhang: "I think the Station Master is right. Resting is fine, but I feel we must leave here before the seventh day arrives, otherwise there will likely be a danger to our lives."

Mai Shui Da Zhi Lao: "I don't care about you guys, but my teammate and I are staying right here."

……………

The internet was full of endless arguments about this. Zhu Zhiquan looked at the number of people in the top left corner and fell into deep thought. Seeing Zhu Zhiquan's worried expression, Zhao Yuxin asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Zhiquan waved his hand. "Nothing, it's just that there are idiots on the World Channel giving bad advice again. I don't know how many people will die on the seventh day."

Zhao Yuxin took a bite of ice cream, opened the World Channel to understand the cause and effect, and sighed helplessly. "There are only seven hundred people left. I wonder how many will remain after the seventh day."

Zhu Zhiquan lay in the carriage. "Rest well; we have to get back on the road in a while."

"Oh, okay. By the way, do you want some ice cream? There is still one bottle of milk left."

"No need, my stomach was bad before I transmigrated."

"Then why are you still eating self-heating hot pot?"

"Does that hot pot have Chili in it?"

"Uh……… it seems not."

After a short rest, the two set off again. Almost every Material Box along the way was guarded by monkeys.

Whenever they encountered a monkey attack, they would drive them away if the number was small, and if the number was large, they would spend money... ah no, they would host a banquet to treat the monkeys to a meal.

By noon, while Zhu Zhiquan was roasting meat, Zhao Yuxin opened the World Channel and saw an important piece of news.

Laoren Ye Chaoliu: "Hello young people, my grandson and I are about to exit the Oasis."

Yangguang Xujie: "Old man, can you tell us how long you pedaled the Tricycle before you saw the exit?"

Laoren Ye Chaoliu: "My grandson has been pedaling since we entered the Oasis. Except for opening Material Boxes and driving away monkeys, he almost never stopped. It took about two hours of pedaling like that to see the location of the exit."

Moon Boat: "Then can you tell us what level your vehicle is?"

Laoren Ye Chaoliu: "Our vehicle is at level v3."

"v3, which means at most forty kilometers, so we are almost there too." After a simple analysis, Zhao Yuxin told this news to Zhu Zhiquan.

Zhu Zhiquan nodded gently and said, "Is there any danger at the exit?"

"I'll go ask again." Zhao Yuxin posted Zhu Zhiquan's question to the World Channel, but the old man was slow to reply.

Just as Zhao Yuxin was feeling puzzled, a player named Ciji Yige posted a new message.

Ciji Yige: "Everyone pay attention, there is a Giant Ape guarding the exit. My grandfather has already been... oh no, it's chasing me, I have to run!"

Seeing this, all the players chatting in the group broke out in a cold sweat.

Xiagu Houwang: "Hahaha~ I told you staying in place was best, but you guys wouldn't listen."

Duyan Chuanzhang: "Then how do you plan to deal with the trial when the seventh day comes? Just by hiding in a corner?"

A Jiuba Zhougong: "So what? Whoever has the guts, go ahead! Anyway, I'm not going."

Gege De Xiao Siji: "Everyone don't panic, my brother just performed a Divination. There is only one Giant Ape, and it moves back and forth along the various roads within the Oasis. As long as you spend materials, we are willing to provide information about the Giant Ape."

Seeing the message Luo Jinrui posted on the World Channel, Zhao Yuxin excitedly sent a message to Luo Jincheng. "Prophet, I saw the message your brother posted. Can you tell me the information about that Giant Ape? It would be best if you could tell me its location."

Before long, Luo Jincheng replied: "First of all, I am a Diviner, and secondly, what do you plan to trade for it?"

Zhao Yuxin's face darkened, but she still acted cute and said, "Oh, Brother Luo~ just consider our previous friendship and tell me for free. My small frame can't handle being tossed around by a Giant Ape."

Luo Jincheng replied quickly: "Get lost!!!"

Zhao Yuxin suppressed her anger and replied: "How about this, I'll treat you to ice cream, will you tell me?"

Luo Jincheng: "Eight."

"Eight? If I could make eight ice creams, I would have put them on the market this morning! Forget it, don't stoop to his level." Zhao Yuxin muttered to herself.

But she still replied patiently: "Brother Luo, I don't have enough materials here, I can only make one. How about I give you two pieces of Fish Scale Armor as well?"

Luo Jincheng: "Four pieces."

Zhao Yuxin: "Three pieces."

"Deal."

After trading three pieces of Fish Scale Armor and one serving of ice cream, Zhao Yuxin still felt she had lost out, but fortunately, Luo Jincheng kept his promise and released the information about the Giant Ape.

"Fine, you surnamed Luo, when there's a chance in the future, I will definitely beat you to death!" Zhao Yuxin angrily closed the panel.
