Chapter 4: A Starry Night
There was just a lack of enough information to make his judgment. Uchiha Uranium doesn't understand why there are no soul beasts in the soul beast forest, it can't be such nonsense like there is no wife in the wife's cake, right?
It was getting late, and he was exhausted after an afternoon of walking, this was no ordinary walk, he had been shuttling through the dense jungle, the air was extremely hot and humid, the vines were entangled, and if he was not careful, he would trip over.
His feet were very soft on the ground, and the ground near the water source was a pit step by step, the rotting leaves that had accumulated over time, and the slippery roots of the trees, all of which greatly reduced the speed of progress and made him excessively exert his physical strength. Being able to hold on until night is already a soul ring, and the writing wheel eye has strengthened its physical fitness.
The Uchiha looked at the surroundings slightly, and after a while, he found a place that looked okay. But when he was about to set up camp, his eyes swept to another place, a large tree with slender branches and leaves, but very dense, broke at the waist, and the crown fell to the ground, and the branches and leaves on both sides fell on both sides, revealing a natural hole in the middle.
Above, on the back, there were dense and heavy leaves, and the Uchiha uranium touched the leaves, which were a little dry and not as wet as they imagined. The broken halves were joined together to form a perfect triangle in front of him, and the place where the canopy was located was an ideal place to live.
It's just that this kind of shelter can't stay for a long time, it's close to the water source, the ground is moist, and if you sleep for a long time, it's easy to get cold into the body, but you can use it tonight.
Without further ado, the Uchiha immediately began to tidy up the shelter, pruning some protruding branches and leaves to make the natural cavern, which is less than 3 square meters and more than a meter high, more flat. Then he cut down a calf-thick branch with a machete and stood at the broken point of the big tree to prevent it from suddenly collapsing in the middle of the night.
Then he took out a snow-white, rather light looking cloth from the package, which looked more like the skin of some kind of soul beast, crystal clear, with a specially treated fragrance after tanning, and the Uchiha uranium spread the roll of leather on the ground. Finally, and most crucially, set up a vigil trap.
The shelter can indeed allow him to rest comfortably, but rest does not mean safety, there is no completely safe place in the Star Dou Great Forest, as long as he dares to sleep without protective measures, the soul beasts passing by dare to add a supper to himself. But now, when the sky is dark, there is no light source, and it is difficult for him to rely on his surroundings to make simple traps.
But if he didn't have a certain amount of self-confidence, he would dare to do such a thing as going to the Star Dou Great Forest to survive? His self-confidence comes from his first hundred-year soul ring.
"First Soul Skill: Radiation Trap."
Uchiha Uranium said silently in his heart, feeling that the soul power in his body began to consume, gathering towards his hands, it seemed that the accumulation had reached the peak, and he could no longer feel other consumption, which meant that he had completed the trap in his hands. The next thing you need to do is throw it out and you're done with the trap.
Originally, his soul skill was not called a radiation trap, but a burst trap.
After he awakened his martial soul and opened the tenth level of full soul power, his father quickly helped him obtain the first soul ring, and the soul beast he killed at that time was called the Escape Flame Beast, which was a soul beast that was good at preying on ground thorn traps and defending with a hard carapace of the whole body, and was able to spit flames from its mouth. This soul beast is very rare, it is a mutant of the rare soul beast Dunjia Beast, originally his father's hope was to use the affinity for the flame in the bloodline to awaken the soul skill that can spit flames, but in the end, what he obtained was the production of traps.
This soul skill allows him to create an invisible and extremely explosive ground spike trap in his hand, which can only be placed on top of a full square meter of space, and after being placed, this ground thorn trap will sink into the ground within three seconds, and there is no problem at all on the surface. However, once a creature with a certain weight walks on top of the spur trap, it will fly out from the bottom to the top of the hot spur, which contains unstable explosive properties, as well as high-speed raids, explosions, high temperatures, spikes, and other properties.
The explosion range is very large, a ground thorn caused by the range of more than ten square meters, once the explosion will be accompanied by high-temperature flame sputtering, red-hot fragments splash, and the effect of modern high-explosive grenades is almost the same, and even better in some aspects.
It's a pity that the range is very large, but the ground thorn trap is still about a second apart from sensing to activation to launching, and as long as the creatures in this range run fast enough, they can completely get out of the maximum kill range, which can be said to be a model of high latency and high damage.
As for why it was renamed Radiation Trap now? That's because after activating his mutated martial spirit, the Radiant Eye, the trap becomes a 'radiation source' that constantly emits radioactive microwave particles. The effect is still the same as before, but it adds a new property - radioactive elements.
That is to say, once it explodes, the ground spur trap will cause great radiation pollution to the surroundings, no matter who can escape, as for how big this range is, Uchiha uranium has not been tested, and it should not be small.
So the next trap he's going to lay is this.
The first trap he placed at the back of the shelter, that is, in front of the leaves, to prevent the soul beast from killing him directly from the front.
The second trap was placed in the back position on the left side, and the third was placed in the front position on the right side, and finally he marked these three positions to prevent himself from accidentally stepping on them and being blown up by the trap he had placed. Although he is not afraid of radiation, the hot spikes do not recognize people.
After doing all this, Uchiha Uranium felt that his soul power was all used, and at this time, the last bit of residual heat of the sun also disappeared on the horizon.
Night has come.
Uchiha Uranium looked at the dark surroundings, and somehow, a feeling of loneliness welled up in his heart. Half a month ago, he was still studying in the clan, and after half a month of travel, he finally arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, and he obviously didn't have this feeling on the road before, but now, if there is no sourness in his heart, he is fermenting.
He knew that he was really away from the crowd now.
Family, partners, father and mother, all are gone, only themselves.
"Forget it, don't think about this kind of sad thing, I don't want this mutated martial soul like Radiant Eye, so that I won't even be able to find my wife in the future, damn, even if I go to prostitution, maybe when I touch my sister, she will rot and die." The Uchiha shook his head and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the deserted surroundings.
He raised his head, looked at the depths of the night, heard the howl of wolves coming from far away, and then looked at the sky, the stars were shining in the sky, twinkling and twinking, which was a beautiful scenery that he had not seen in his previous life.
In the past, he thought that the stars he saw in his childhood would never come back, heavy industry, air pollution, etc., completely covered the night with a gray veil, but now, he is half-lying on the ground, leaning against the tree, looking at the night sky with a blurred eye, as if he has found his childhood again.
I don't know how long it took, Uchiha Uranium felt the tip of his nose a little wet, and wanted to rub his nose, and then raised his head, but a drop of dew dripped from the top of his head.
The night scene of the sky was still bright, and the light was even brighter than before, and the stars that could not be seen during the day were now twinkling like a fight, he had never seen such a scene on earth, perhaps this was his lost childhood. And Douluo Continent is his new life.
For the first time, Uchiha Uranium felt that it was the right decision to come to the Star Dou Great Forest, if he had been in the clan land, he would have studied during the day, cultivated at night, slowly became stronger and became famous, maybe he would never raise his head again and look at this beautiful night sky.
For the first time, he felt that this kind of life might not be as bad as he thought.
"Ah~he~, I'm sleepy, sleepy, go to sleep." He stretched, took off his unclean shoes, laid them outside, and went into the shelter.
Before going to bed, Uchiha uranium took one last look at the night sky, then lay down, closed his eyes, and slept quietly.
"If it's like this in the future, that's not bad."
The corners of his mouth hooked up a hint of nonchalant smile.
