It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 561 Camel
Feng Ling told the third brother to return to the rat hole they had just been in, and the big worm hid in the sand. She continued on foot alone.

Even the Doomsday Judgment couldn't kill her, so she can withstand this kind of high temperature right now.

But I was filled with doubts – how could I possibly play in such a maze, with freezing nights and scorching days, plus the constant sandstorms?
The Taoist priest said that every maze is designed for alien species to play with. No matter how difficult it is, there is a limit. There must be some kind of mechanism in this place that she hasn't discovered yet.

The high temperature causes moisture to evaporate rapidly, and every scale and every strand of hair exposed to the sun is like being baked in an oven.

If it weren't for her deep resentment towards the alien species, Feng Ling would never have come to such a harsh environment. She felt that her current state of struggling to walk was exactly like forcing herself to endure hardship.

After struggling forward for several hundred meters, I climbed up a sand ridge. The desert in my field of vision looked like a red-hot iron pot under the scorching sun. There was no living creature in sight, only a few huge rocks lying in the sand dunes. The scalding heat distorted everything into a blurry shape.

The sandstorm that blotted out the sky was exactly three sand dunes away from her.

The sandstorm wasn't this far away last night, so it seems that the sandstorm's range of activity differs between day and night.

Feng Ling exhaled a breath of hot air, her throat feeling like it was on fire.

Despite her inexplicable confidence, at this moment she couldn't help but wonder if she would be roasted until dehydrated and turned into jerky.

It doesn't make sense...

With such high temperatures and sandstorms, how did the alien species manage to remain unharmed? And even rest and recover on the spot, getting better and better?
As Feng Ling was pondering this, a series of tiny, inconspicuous red dots were seen orderly approaching from the third-person perspective.

She curiously turned her head to look and saw a camel caravan appear on the sand dunes and slowly move along the ridgeline.

The caravan was vast, stretching as far as the eye could see. Some camels carried people, while others carried packs.

Feng Ling looked closely and saw that the people riding camels were dressed in foreign clothing with wide sleeves and long robes. They looked like normal people, not like pollutants, but rather like locals who lived here.

The reason she appears as a red dot in third-person perspective is probably because she is infected. She had encountered similar infected individuals in the maze of Lorias before. Although they were human, they appeared as red dots in third-person perspective, just like the infected.

She also gave away a few cards at the time, and she doesn't know if those infected people who absorbed the cards are still alive.

Suddenly, the camel caravan in the distance fell into chaos—

Several camels seemed to have been startled and started running wildly!

The man riding the camel fell off, and many scorpions crawled out of the sand all around, each scorpion as big as a washbasin!

I've seen scorpions like this on the road. Their body color is the same as the sand, making them very camouflage. Whenever they appear, the tiger worm opens its big mouth and frantically sucks in the scorpions and the sand along the way, crunching them up.

Unlike soil, sand cannot extract nutrients, and for the tiger worm, scorpions are one of the few food sources it can obtain in the desert.

At this moment, the tiger-headed insect seemed to have caught a whiff of something, poking its head out of the sand, its two tiger-like eyes gazing intently at the camel caravan in the distance.

"Stay put," Feng Ling reprimanded it gently.

Because she sensed the tiger worm's hunger for food, it wanted to eat not only scorpions, but also camels and people.

By this time, the entire camel caravan was in complete chaos. The frightened camels were running wildly in all directions, and the people were trying to dodge the scorpion attacks while salvaging their scattered belongings. Some of them even took out weapons to fight the scorpions—surprisingly, the same weapons used by the pottery figures, all of them curved knives. It was unclear whether they had stolen them or found them.

Feng Ling was two or three hundred meters away from the camel caravan. Distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. Even if she ran as fast as she could in the sand, by the time she arrived, several people in the camel caravan had already died, and several camels had also been bitten to death by scorpions.

Feng Ling felt sorry, but she had seen too many dead people during this period, so her mood was not too affected.

As soon as she arrived, she swiftly killed all the scorpions.

A man who appeared to be the team leader came up to her, thanked her, and bowed, muttering something in a foreign language.

Feng Ling couldn't understand, so she gestured with her hands to ask, "Do you have cell phones? Cell phone—can I borrow your cell phone for a moment? Can you understand?"

The team leader had a big smile on his face and continued muttering to himself.

Feng Ling was troubled, hesitating whether to draw a cell phone in the sand with her finger. Two more people came over, each carrying an exquisitely crafted wooden box. They smiled and handed them to Feng Ling, bowing again as if to repay her.

Feng Ling opened the first wooden box.

Inside were water bags, dried meat, and a large flatbread that smelled like fermented yogurt.

She does need water and food, but she needs her phone even more.

Feng Ling opened the second wooden box with anticipation.

Inside was a set of clothes with local exotic style, and a golden scimitar with various gemstones inlaid on the hilt, giving it an air of being beautiful but impractical.

Feng Ling: "…………"

She was considering whether or not to showcase her drawing skills.

At this moment, the leader had someone bring over a white camel and then gestured an invitation to Feng Ling.

The white camel lay docilely in front of Feng Ling.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Feng Ling picked up the wooden box and mounted it.

She didn't have any complicated thoughts; she just felt that human lives were at stake. This group was most likely trying to move to the outside of the maze's contaminated area. There were too many scorpions in the desert, and if she abandoned them, they would probably all die on the way.

She can escort them for a distance, and as long as she ensures the alien remains within the third-person perspective range, it shouldn't cause any delays.

She was just a little concerned about how far she should escort them.

Exceeding 20 kilometers is definitely not an option, as the alien species would be invisible from a third-person perspective. Exceeding 10 kilometers also carries risks; if the alien species suddenly returns to the teleportation array, it would be very difficult for her to chase after it at this distance.

So, escort them for five kilometers? Three kilometers?

Is that appropriate? It makes her seem stingy.

The wooden box in her hand was a bit of a nuisance, so Feng Ling simply opened it, took out the water bag inside, tilted her head back and gulped down a good drink, then ate two pieces of dried meat and nibbled on a flatbread.

His physical strength was quickly restored.

She absorbed the energy contained in the food and water very quickly.

She always recovered quickly, so she didn't pay attention to it, but after she finished eating all the food in the wooden box, she found that she actually felt a little full.

The Mother Nest card can accumulate energy, so she hasn't felt full for a long time. No matter how much she eats, she can never feel full.

The energy contained in food is limited, and absorbing energy through chewing and swallowing is too inefficient for her now. To satisfy the ovary, she would probably have to eat continuously for several days and nights.

So she evolved the ability to absorb energy directly from fresh flesh and blood.

But now, just a few pieces of dried meat and a flatbread are enough to make her feel full.

What she ate was probably not ordinary human food.

Feng Ling silently looked at the team ahead.

these people……

They are probably not ordinary humans.
