We're Already In Close Combat And You Still Say You're A Mage?

The oasis is not large.

In the center is a shallow lake formed by a pool of groundwater gushing upward.

The lake reflected the dim sunset in the desert, making it sparkling.

Around the shallow lake, many sandy, drought-tolerant plants similar to cacti grow.

Unlike cactus.

There are many yellow fist-sized fruits on their tops.

However, Xu Bai did not see animals in the oasis.

This made him cautious.

Entering the oasis, Xu Bai patrolled around the oasis.

No droppings left by large predators were found, indicating that this oasis is relatively safe.

Later, Xu Bai came to the shallow lake in the oasis, took out a finger-thick test tube from the storage space, and installed it on the fixture.

Xu Bai held the fixture in his hand, stretched the test tube into the shallow lake of the oasis, and scooped out a little water.

Then he took out a bottle of transparent solution in a medicine bottle from the storage space, sucked out a few drops with a dropper, and dropped it into the test tube containing lake water.

The transparent solution is "CZ517 reagent" and can be used to test whether the water quality is drinkable.

"CZ517 Reagent" was equipped in the survival backpack Xu Bai bought from a professional for 5 Origin Coins when he was wandering around the Garden of Origins a long time ago.

The lake water did not change after dripping "CZ517 reagent" and letting it stand for 30 seconds.

It proves that the water quality of this shallow lake is safe and can be drank after heating and sterilization.

After completing the test, Xu Bai took out the water storage container from the storage space and filled it up.

With this additional purified water, plus the clean drinking water Xu Bai originally stored in the storage space.

This water is enough for him to use for 15 days during the intense daily travel.

In this desert, water is extremely scarce.

Even if Xu Bai uses his talent to condense the surrounding water elements, he can only condense it to a little bit.

It's simply not enough for him to consume.

Similarly, the power of water element skills will be greatly reduced in this desert.

...

After replenishing the water reserve, Xu Bai picked a fist-sized yellow fruit from the top of a cactus-like plant next to the lake shore.

He was going to test whether the fruits were edible.

Later, Xu Bai took out a test tube, cut open the yellow fruit with a knife, and squeezed out a little juice into the test tube.

During this process, a little juice from the yellow fruit got on the back of Xu Bai's right hand.

In an instant, Xu Bai felt a stinging sensation on his skin stained with juice.

Then a small blister immediately appeared on the back of Xu Bai's hand.

He quickly threw down the yellow fruit in his hand and took out water from the storage space to rinse the back of his hand.

But it's too late.

The original small blister has turned into a huge blister with something like yellow pus inside.

The next moment, the blisters burst, and the smelly pus inside flowed down the back of Xu Bai's right hand.

Seeing this, Xu Bai frowned and immediately washed away the pus on the back of his hand with water.

After the pus was washed away, some wounds on the back of the hand below were revealed that had begun to fester.

Suddenly, a flame suddenly ignited on the back of Xu Bai's hand, and a burnt aroma wafted out.

The flames dispersed.

The ulcer on the wound on the back of Xu Bai's hand has disappeared, replaced by a layer of burnt black scab covering the wound.

After using the fire element to disinfect and seal the wound, Xu Bai took out a roll of gauze from the storage space and wrapped it around the wound.

After doing all this, Xu Bai made a fist with his right hand and felt a faint tingling sensation on his arm.

Fortunately, this was just a skin injury and did not affect his subsequent battles.

Later, Xu Bai gathered the fire elements again and burned the half-cut yellow fruit on the oasis sand.

And he buried the ashes in the sand.

Leave no trace behind.

.......

There is no need to test anymore.

The yellow fruits that grow on cactus-like plants contain highly corrosive poison.

Even if Xu Bai's physical attributes are not low, he can't resist this kind of poison even if he gets a little bit of it.

Fortunately, he dealt with it in time and it did not affect the subsequent battle.

Xu Bai originally wanted to eat some fruit for a change.

Since the yellow fruit was inedible, Xu Bai had to take out the processed sandworm meat from the storage space.

Concentrate the fire element in your hands, roast it, and use it to satisfy your hunger.

...

Just after eating half of the sandworm meat, Xu Bai's heart suddenly felt a dull pain.

That was his perceptual ability giving an early warning.

Xu Bai instinctively turned to the right.

"boom--!"

The next moment, a palm-sized sniper bullet grazed Xu Bai's left shoulder and shot into the sand in front of him.

The splashed gravel hit Xu Bai's cheek, causing his cheek to hurt.

After entering the Twilight Continent, as the survival trial began, whether he was trekking in the barren desert or resting after arriving at this oasis, Xu Bai's perception ability always maintained the maximum range in order to avoid being attacked. 's open state.

After all, perception is an accessory ability derived from intelligence attributes.

Even if it is turned on for a long time, the burden on the body is minimal.

Just now, this cautious move saved Xu Bai's life.

If you don't keep your perception ability open at all times.

Xu Bai's heart may have been shattered by a sniper bullet flying from a distance, turning him into a corpse and a killing chest filled with sandworm meat.

After dodging the sneak attack, Xu Bai immediately turned around and quickly began to make irregular evasive maneuvers.

"boom--!"

"boom--!"

Two more sand pits appeared on the ground, with gravel splashing everywhere.

Relying on evasive maneuvers, Xu Bai successfully dodged two subsequent bullets fired at him.

At the same time, Xu Bai had determined the direction of the bullet.

At this time, Xu Bai had already left the scope of the oasis.

We arrived at the back of a sand dune.

Take advantage of the cover of the dunes.

Xu Bai flipped his wrist, and the Blue Sky Wings appeared in his hands.

Through the sight of the Blue Sky Wings electromagnetic sniper rifle, Xu Bai looked towards the direction of the bullet, looking for the enemy's long-range walker.

Now, the sun has set in the rocky desert, and the surroundings are dark, with only a few glimmering stars in the sky.

But this does not affect Xu Bai's search for goals.

The sight of Blue Sky Wings comes with infrared vision.

Soon, through the infrared vision of the sight, Xu Bai saw three moving figures 2 kilometers away from the direction of the bullet.

In the infrared vision, Xu Bai saw a figure carrying a sniper rifle that was emitting heat on its back and moving sideways.

It seemed that they were preparing to move their position after seeing that the sneak attack failed.

The other two figures were heading straight towards him.

Xu Bai met a three-person team that had already met.

Judging from this posture, the opponent decided to rely on their numerical advantage and long-range firepower to capture Xu Bai.
