Chapter 1159 - 7: Oasis

This entry, it’s something!

Chen Wen looked at the golden entry, a flash of curiosity in his eyes.

After selecting the entry, he immediately felt different.

This entry, it has strength!

At the moment Chen Wen acquired the entry, he felt his strength seemed to have been enhanced.

On second thought, this is normal.

The kidneys in the human body can be considered a huge blood purification and regulation center.

They can clean metabolic waste and toxins from the blood and precisely adjust the recovery and discharge of water and useful substances according to the body’s needs.

They can even maintain the body’s water, salt, and acid-base balance, produce essential hormones, manage blood pressure, promote hematopoiesis, and strengthen bones.

It can be said that kidneys are vital for humans, especially men.

Thus, after the kidneys are strengthened, Chen Wen’s physical abilities and strength are comprehensively enhanced.

Compared to before, Chen Wen is more powerful now.

Of course, aside from the enhancements in physical abilities and strength that can be directly felt, other aspects require Chen Wen to explore on his own.

If this were in some harem novels, this entry would be a major highlight.

Chen Wen thought.

It’s just a pity that in survival, the effect of this entry is strong, but not that strong.

After selecting the entry, Chen Wen looked at the camel with a kinder expression.

Giving this guy two-thirds of the water was not in vain.

Not only did he gain a mount, but he also got a powerful entry.

Worth it!

Patting the camel on the head, Chen Wen directly mounted it.

Walking on the sand is truly uncomfortable.

The scorching hot gravel continually drills into the shoes, making every step feel like walking on heated chestnut sand.

But with the help of the camel, the feet are off the ground, eliminating this problem.

The dromedary was very accommodating to Chen Wen’s riding, showing not a bit of discomfort or impatience, but rather obediently heading in the direction pointed out by Chen Wen.

At this moment, Chen Wen planned to take a look around and see if there were any other oases nearby.

Besides replenishing water, he also intended to find a place to escape the heat.

After all, it was soon going to be noon, and even though Chen Wen had entries for sun protection and high temperature resistance, the intense light and heat still annoyed him.

Therefore, for stability, Chen Wen planned to find some shade to cool off.

...

While Chen Wen was taming the camel and planning to escape the heat, the other four people from the Fourth Oasis also gathered together.

But they did not have the same ease as Chen Wen, as psychological pressure prevented these few from daring to rashly enter the Fourth Oasis.

Thus, the four circled around the oasis several times with weapons, making sure Chen Wen was not there before cautiously heading towards the oasis.

Reaching the edge of the oasis.

Yoshikawa Feng, after confirming Chen Wen was not ahead, put his mind at ease.

He beckoned everyone to enter together, seeking traces of Chen Wen in the oasis.

But after looking around, the four found no trace of Chen Wen.

They gathered again, somewhat puzzled.

"Seems like Chen Wen isn’t here."

Nelson voiced his guess: "He probably realized the four of us would team up, so he fled early to somewhere else."

Upon hearing this, Darren on the side nodded: "If I were him, I would definitely flee too; challenging us four is something he absolutely cannot handle alone, his fear of our union and escape is rational."

These words made Musa nod repeatedly in agreement.

However, Yoshikawa Feng thought more than they did.

Yoshikawa Feng said: "Don’t underestimate Chen Wen, he likely didn’t come right to the oasis because he plans to ambush us at night, I know him too well!"

Upon hearing this, the other three paused.

"Would he really dare come? Even for an ambush, we have people on night guard."

Unable to hold back, Musa said: "And the oasis and the desert are extremely dangerous at night. If he dares to come, the dangers on the road alone are enough to sink him."

Nelson also said: "Indeed, scorpions, venomous snakes, and insects swarm at night; they don’t care who you are. As long as you dare invade their territory, it’s a dead end!"

And Darren added: "That’s right, so moving at night requires torches. But if he comes holding torches, we’ll definitely see him; the attack then holds no significance."

Listening to the analysis of the three, Yoshikawa Feng furrowed his brow.

He really felt Chen Wen seemed to be plotting something wicked to give them a big loss.

But the two locals and Darren said moving in the desert at night is very dangerous, making Yoshikawa Feng unsure whether to stick to his advice or not.

Ultimately, Yoshikawa Feng shook his head: "Alright, but we must guard the night carefully!"

Darren looked at Yoshikawa Feng with a forced smile: "You don’t need to say that, we’re aware of it. Plus, every day we cooperate, we face a food penalty, so I believe two days should be the limit. After two days, if Chen Wen doesn’t come to the oasis, we’ll rely on our own abilities, okay?"

Hearing this, Musa slightly stepped back.

He is the weakest among the four.

Relying on personal abilities would likely make him the first target for the other three.

Witnessing this, Yoshikawa Feng couldn’t help but frown, saying: "You’re speaking too soon. We must first address the Chen Wen issue, stop overthinking."

Darren laughed but said no more.

And Nelson winked at Musa.

Among the four present, he and Musa are both black and closer, also weaker in strength.

If it truly comes to relying on personal capabilities, he and Musa are natural allies.

Musa also nodded, moving half a step towards Nelson.

Noticing this, Yoshikawa Feng was extremely frustrated; they were just entering the oasis, how could distrust arise so quickly?

Wasn’t the agreement on the plane good?

How can they resist Chen Wen now!

With a powerless sigh, Yoshikawa Feng said: "Everyone, let’s not talk too much; let’s first go check the water source, clear an area for camping, then Darren and I will go hunting, what do you think?"

Everyone nodded.

After a brief standoff, the four again began cooperating to survive.

...

After circling the Fourth Oasis for a while, Chen Wen also found a temporary resting spot.

A tall sand dune, with a valley on its shady side, offering a place to rest.

Chen Wen settled here, set down his materials, and let the camel rest beside him.

The camel obediently nestled down; camels often rest during the day and are more active at dawn and dusk.

After settling the camel, Chen Wen also lay down, resting his head on the pot and backpack for a nap.

Once sufficiently rested, Chen Wen took out the four dung beetle larvae he had earlier.

Lunch was about to begin.
