Chapter 33: Hunting Alienated Creatures
After learning how difficult it was to increase the level of his abilities, Qin Long decided to do some tasks first to strengthen the abilities of the same level, he was not worried about the problem of fusion, he had a 99.9% fit, all he needed to consider was to earn points and energy to 'intensify' the saturation.
Among the abilities that can be improved, Qin Long focuses on the three aspects of strengthening the pupils and muscle 'flesh' in the dark night, and 'manipulating' the physical object, after all, he already has a primary psychological induction, and there is no need to spend the points 'wave' on the strengthening of the five senses. The dark night pupil can allow him to obtain infrared vision in the dark, which has a great advantage in assassination or against the enemy in the dark, and strength is still Qin Long's weakness after all, he doesn't want to choose to dodge once he is close to him.
As for '' the physical object, this is also a skill that can increase the level just like the dark night pupil. '' skills such as metal, glass, plastic, soil, and other light-weight entities. This can be a killer feature in many cases, catching opponents off guard.
Qin Long didn't know how much advantage he had over ordinary people.
Ordinary people can only have the transformation of the body domain in the first stage, that is to say, how many basic units of transformation have been reached, they can only improve their speed, strength, and reaction ability in an orderly manner, in addition to Qin Long's fifty basic units of injury recovery power, Qin Long can also carry out three skill evolutions that only the brain domain and the mysterious domain can have at once!
After careful analysis, Qin Long found that the release of the task system can be roughly divided into three aspects.
The most common is vendetta, in addition to some of the goals planned by the Skynet group, the target of the vendetta can be idle people in society, it can be political officials, it can be a figure of an underworld organization, it can also be a member of other code groups, or even a member of Skynet.
The points are not necessarily issued by Skynet Group, or any member of Skynet can contribute their own points to publish tasks, Skynet Group does not judge the nature of the task, and is only responsible for the safety of issuing and 'handover', as long as someone is willing to use the points to release the task, someone will accept it. In this respect, it is also equivalent to an intermediary system.
The second is for all regions of the earth, but all areas that are a little mysterious to human beings, such as plains, canyons, jungles, sea areas, and even lakes, as long as they can help Skynet's code research, they can get points according to fair judgment.
Of course, for the time being, most of the supernatural beings are still wandering in the physical domain, and they have no ability to explore some high-level locations at all, and there are more than a hundred mysterious areas around the world that cannot be reached by the brain domain or even the mysterious domain.
However, there are also many people who choose more small areas to explore secretly, so that the danger of small areas is generally not high, and after passing, Skynet Group will also send special personnel to restore the original state. This is obviously the Skynet Group's benefits for members.
The third type is the task delineated by Skynet Group, such as completing a task of a specified intensity within a specified time. Of course, this one is very secretive and unknown.
Skynet Group delineates a certain area, tightly controls the periphery of this area with strong strength, and stocks some animals that have 'shot' the code to obtain preliminary abilities, and generally there will be such a zone in each core city for members to explore, set up in jungles, grasslands, deserts, and mountains. Officially, it is collectively known as a hunting ground.
There are so many supernatural creatures without exception that are brutal, murderous, and attack all humans they see. Obviously, it poses a huge threat to the members who enter, but it is precisely because of this that more and more excellent capable people will be cultivated.
This actually reflects the huge size of the Skynet Group, after all, it can control more than 400,000 supernatural people, can set up hunting grounds in core cities, and even has the strength to explore most of the mysterious areas of the earth.
Qin Long and Qiao Yanran agreed to complete the task two days later. As a bodyguard, since Qin Long has received a generous treatment, he has to contribute accordingly.
Qiao Yanran chose the hunting ground task D-level, and she could kill five different types of first-order creatures, in fact, it was obviously impossible for her to do some vendetta tasks, and with Qiao Yanran's 'sex', she would never kill indiscriminately.
The hunting ground chosen by Qin Long and Qiao Yanran was the same mission location, located two hundred kilometers away from the outskirts of Mingzhou City. It is not far from the heavy prison in Mingzhou City, only twenty kilometers away. The two had set off at two o'clock in the afternoon and had arrived at half past four.
It used to be a jungle of hazelnuts, but it was clear that it had been transformed into a death zone by Skynet. Any uninvited guest who comes here, as long as he does not have sufficient strength, will be devoured by xenogeneically modified creatures without any suspense.
"It's desolate. Looking at the scene that presented a dead silence, Qiao Yanran frowned. There was a decadent smell in the air, and from a distance, there was not even the sound of animals chirping in a radius of ten kilometers.
"Don't be careless, it's full of dangers, especially for you. "Qin Longzheng 'colored' and said.
"It's okay, I'm equipped with weapons and defenses to deal with second-order creatures," Qiao Yanran looked like she had made a lot of money, her body was wrapped in a thin but tough alloy material, revealing her slender and fiery figure, she brought a few antivenoms, an AK47, and enough bullets, as well as a sharp dagger.
Compared to Qin Long's only saber that shone with cold light, Qiao Yanran was obviously fully armed.
The two of them began to move forward through thorns and thorns, it seemed that there was something in the periphery that xenomorphs were afraid of, in the periphery of this area, Qin Long did not see those legendary alien creatures, but he did not slack off in the slightest. He felt like a myriad of pairs of eyes were staring at him somewhere in the jungle.
"Stop!" Just as he was advancing less than three hundred meters, Qin Long suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Yanran was a little nervous.
There were blood stains on the ground, it looked very fresh, and there were a few white bones next to it, Qin Long thought that some creature had just eaten here. And from the traces of the withered yellow leaves, it can be seen that this unlucky animal was killed with one move almost without any ability to resist, but it can be seen from its thick white bones that it still had some combat effectiveness before its death.
Qiao Yanran was stunned when she saw the blood, and she subconsciously approached Qin Long, her pretty face pale.
"Shhh β
"It's coming. β
Qin Long suddenly flashed a trace of cold light, protecting Qiao Yanran behind him, holding a saber in a defensive posture, his eyes slightly squinting at the inconspicuous pile of shrubs in front of him.
"Roar!"
A strange roar suddenly came, and I saw a jackal dog with an extremely ugly appearance of about fifty kilograms coming out of the bushes, its speed was extremely fast, it was just more than ten meters away, and after a while, it pounced in front of it. The eyes that shone green showed ferocity, and Qiao Yanran could even see the jackal's sharp fangs and the saliva flowing with a peculiar smellγγγγγγ
Qiao Yanran didn't even dare to look at this ugly animal, only heard a dull sound, and after a while, the jackal fell to the ground, struggled twice, and made no sound again.
It turned out that Qin Long made a move, and split the jackal in half with a single sword.
"Collect its teeth and use them to 'hand' in the task. β
This jackal has actually reached the ability of an average of twenty basic units, no wonder Qiao Yanran will 'flower' and lose his 'color', and this discovery also made Qin Long's heart sink, it is only a D-level task, and the peripheral ones have already reached the peak of the first order, so what about going in again? The second order will definitely have it, so what about the third-order animals?
Soon, Qin Long discovered that genetically modified animals did not simply increase their attack speed and strength, just like a group of poisonous bees that he had just felt very troubled, and his poisonous 'nature' was not only strengthened by ten times?
As the jungle continues to go deeper, the types of xenomorph creatures and attack patterns found emerge in an endless stream, and these animals seem to enhance their inherent abilities, such as the porcupine will instantly 'shoot' the sharp thorns on its body, and the purple and black thorns contaminated with venom are not a single threat;
Of course, these individual first-order peak alienated creatures couldn't put too much pressure on Qin Long, but in the face of the group's alienated creatures, even Qin Long had to avoid their edge. In just half an hour, they had already encountered a colony of bees, termites, and rats.
However, there are dangers and benefits, Qin Long has already helped Qiao Yanran collect the body parts of five alienated creatures, which means that Qiao Yanran has completed the D-level task and can go back to collect points.
After Qin Long sent Qiao Yanran back to safety, Qiao Yanran suddenly asked, "Have you really decided to continue exploring?"
"Yes, in addition to taking one D-class mission, I also took two C-level missions, and I won't go back if I don't complete the mission. Don't worry, I'm fine. β
Because of the non-replicable 'nature' of these tasks, each alienated creature can only be collected once, so Qin Long plans to test his strength and see where the limit can be reached, if it really doesn't work, go back first to improve his skills and come back.
"Okay. Then I'll 'hand' over the AK47 to you," Qiao Yanran's eyes showed a hint of concern, and she glanced at Qin Long meaningfully, "Take care." β
