This oasis was probably the only substantial water source on the journey out of the desert, and NPCs had settled here before. However, obviously, they had been driven away by the monsters that came later.
The Sword Shadow Clone didn't use any skills and simply charged straight toward the oasis.
Whoosh~
Just as the clone was about to approach the oasis, an arm-thick spike of blackish-brown color shot from the ground, stabbing towards the clone.
The surface of the spike was covered with a thick chitinous shell, which was overgrown with a layer resembling the same dark brown complexion, and three feet of its tip had evolved into something akin to a bone blade, shimmering with a metallic luster.
The spike was taller than a man, and the Sword Shadow Clone stomped fiercely on the ground, shifting its figure to the left. But at the same moment, another similar spike shot up right below where the clone stood.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
