Chapter 9: Ah Fu smiled, and the blessing and misfortune were unpredictable
The mechanical city on the horizon was like a turtle, slowly moving sideways in Link's field of vision.
Link's expression was extremely solemn.
I didn't expect that the mechanical city would pass upstream at this time.
Although he could only see the huge mechanical city from a distance of twenty kilometers, Link could already think of the patrol soldiers following behind as he moved through the mechanical city.
It's just that Link searched through his memories, and he didn't remember that there was a record of this move in the wasteland chronicles.
Moving all the way from downstream to upstream, this posture is to go to the sea!
"Boss, why don't you ...... Why don't we take a detour? Ah Fu on the side begged with a trembling tone.
The mechanical city is in front of you, and now rushing to the Grand Canal is killing yourself.
Link shook his head and said, "Now we can only move on, and wait for the mechanical city to go and get water after it is gone." We don't have enough water to support the detour. β
The mechanical city sails through the Gauria Canal, and there is no doubt that it will be more difficult to pass through the next step.
To be on the safe side, Link decides to craft another pet.
Link looked around, looking around for any animals that could be synthesized, but the Gobi was empty, and there were only three living creatures, him, Ah Fu, and the treasure mouse.
"Let's go forward first, as long as we don't enter the five-kilometer warning range of the Machinery City, we are safe."
"Boss, how do you know so much?" Ah Fu sighed, whether it is the news of the Wasteland Gang or the Mechanic God Cult, the boss can always come at his fingertips.
"The more you know, the more you will be killed!"
"Do you want to hear it?"
Ah Fu immediately closed his mouth and covered his ears with his hands: "Boss, please stop talking, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to know!" β
Link and Ah Fu move on.
Although the mechanical city looks very slow, it is a view twenty kilometers apart. IN FACT, THE MECHANICAL CITY MOVES VERY FAST, ALLOWING A STEEL CITY WITH A DIAMETER OF FIVE KILOMETERS TO GALLOP ON THE GOBI AT A SPEED OF 120KM/H, AND THE MECHANIC GOD CULT STILL HAS EXTRAORDINARY ATTAINMENTS IN MECHANICAL MANUFACTURING AND METAL.
Link observes as he walks, still trying to synthesize another pet to minimize the risk of breaking through the Grand Canal.
But as far as the eye can see, it is barren Gobi, and it is difficult to find a living creature, let alone a suitable pet.
The only thing that is more is the white skeleton of an animal half-hidden by the wind and sand of the Gobi.
"Boss, look at the sky!" Ah Fu pointed to the sky.
Link looked up and saw three moving black dots in the scorching sun, hovering above them.
Link squinted his eyes and recognized, and then his whole body was shaken and his energy was high.
Vulture!
"No wonder after approaching the Grand Canal, the Gobi suddenly had so many bones......"
Link's mind runs fast.
Vultures happen to be level 2 creatures, and they have reached the conditions for crafting pets.
Link looked up again, and the vultures were hovering above them, apparently they had been taken as prey and had been targeted by the vultures.
Now the only problem is how to get the vultures to come down from the sky.
Link thought for a moment and said, "Ah Fu, I want to trick the vulture down, you can accompany me to play a show." β
"Huh? How do you want to act, I've never acted? β
"It's simple, give me an energy bar, and watch me fall and you're good to go. Two or three kilometers ahead, find a shady place to sit and wait for me. β
Link glanced at it, saw a small stone in front of him, and pointed, "You can stay over there later, and don't come back no matter what happens here." If you can do that, we have a better chance of crossing the Grand Canal safely. β
Hearing that he could help Link, Ah Fu didn't care what it was, and the chick nodded like a peck of rice.
Link unpacked the package, put the energy bar in his mouth, and said to Ah Fu vaguely: "Li Kuoyi let's talk!" β
As soon as Ah Fu walked on his front foot, Link fell to the Gobi with a plop on his back foot.
Ah Fu glanced back, and subconsciously wanted to run back, but was stopped by Link: "Why did you promise me just now?" Go ahead and wait for me. β
Seeing that the boss was fine, Ah Fu turned around and left step by step.
Link's plan is also simple - play dead.
Pretending to be dead sounds simple, but it's not so easy to deal with cautious vultures.
Vultures don't usually attack, only when they think you're dying, they dare to fly to your side, wait like a corpse collector for your last breath, and then come forward to enjoy a delicious meal.
Link lay on the Gobi, lazily basking in the sun.
It's not the difficulty to play dead, it's the difficulty to stay motionless for a long time.
The reason why I want an energy bar is because Link is ready to 'boil the eagle'.
"I'll close my eyes and take a nap for a while, and let me know if something happens." Link used his mind to communicate with the treasure hunt mouse.
Ah Fu walked for a while to the designated place, sat and waited according to the boss's words.
In the sky, the vultures were still circling, and there was no sign of coming down.
Ah Fu waited cross-legged for a long time, so long that the mechanical city had disappeared from the horizon, and the height of the three-headed vulture in the sky had dropped a little, but it was still a long way from landing.
The sun rises higher and higher, and it becomes more and more vicious.
Ah Fu yawned, and his upper and lower eyelids were fighting.
Link was lying on the ground, Glock pistol in hand, his body already starting to stiffen.
It stands to reason that the Machine City has left, and now Link can try to pass through the Grand Canal of Gauria.
However, Link's personality is more stable than ever after crossing into the game world.
In the past, he could be resurrected if he died in the game, but now he is an NPC, and if he dies, he really has no chance.
Be careful!
Link has his eyes closed, but he can still call the system interface.
From lying down at 11 a.m., it's already 2 p.m.
Link pretended to be dead in the Gobi for three hours, his face burning hot from the sun.
During those three hours, Link slept once; When I woke up, I thought about the vulture synthesis for a while, and read the synthesis instructions word for word; Finally, all possible scenarios were simulated in the brain.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Link could already hear the vultures flapping their wings, and he just had to be patient.
After another hour, the vulture finally let down its guard, waved its wings and landed not far from Link, and began to approach him little by little.
Link's 'Eagle Project' is about to succeed.
All three vultures had landed, pacing towards Link from different directions.
Link heard that the vultures were already within a meter, and he held his breath and used his mind to communicate with the treasure hunt rat.
"Xiaobao, start the raid in tens of seconds!"
The treasure hunter's heartbeat was also minimized, and he crawled under his linen coat, waiting for his master's command to attack the vulture.
Link silently counted down in his heart.
When the last number was over, the treasure rat popped out of the linen coat like an off-string arrow and swooped down on the nearest vulture.
At the same time, Link also rolled over and relied on his own perseverance to overcome the 'stiffness' state.
Seeing this, the vulture immediately fluttered its wings and took off, but the treasure hunt rat had already pounced on one of them, biting the muscles that connected the wings, interfering with flight.
The other two vultures flew away with a surprised rattle, and one fluttered its wings but struggled only in mid-air.
Link rushed forward and threw the vulture to the ground, holding his knees on both of its wings.
In the next second, Link put away his pistol, took out a sharp dagger, and directly pierced the vulture's wings, nailing the vulture to the ground like a nail.
Ah Fu, who was hiding on the rocks in the distance, saw the boss get up, and immediately packed his bags and rushed at a speed of 100 meters.
Link didn't dare to waste time, the vulture body that was pressed under him was half a meter long, and its wings spread out about one meter and two, and immediately began to synthesize after the system gave a hint of temporary subduation.
Vulture lv2 (adult) + grit (100 grams) = ? (90% success rate)
[Crafting consumes 20 health, is it crafting?] Yes / No]
Link's eyes lit up, this time the success rate was high, but the health consumed was also doubled.
Since there is no conflict between the creature and the material, Link is not ready to take out PLAN B and choose to synthesize directly!
20 o'clock is 20 o'clock, after all, it is a flying raptor, and it is so big, it can be understood with a little more blood.
The sand and gravel that he picked up in his left hand was gradually absorbed by the palm of his hand, and sticky blood streaks grew in the vulture's hand, which soon wrapped the struggling vulture. The blood cocoon formed this time was large, the size of a pair of hands around it.
This was followed by an increase in incubation time, this time for 5 minutes.
Link slumped aside and gasped, this 'boiling eagle' was really not a human thing.
At the moment, he only felt that the skin of his cheeks kept tingling, as if there were thousands of needles pricking.
The body has not moved for too long, and the blood flow is slow and there is a feeling like an electric shock.
Two frightened vultures in the sky were croaking in protest, and they all dispersed for a moment.
Ah Fu ran over panting from a distance, and saw that the boss's cheeks were roasted red, and his lips were chapped and turned up a lot of white skin, so without saying a word, he unpacked his bags and took out a bucket: "Boss, drink some water!" β
Link took the bucket and poured the water into his mouth little by little, moistening his shriveled lips.
The sweet and clear water flows into the throat little by little, as if the waterway of the long drought and the rain is once again rejuvenated.
The water entered the stomach, and an indescribable force spread through the limbs in an instant.
It was only then that Link felt like he had half a life back and began to gasp for breath.
Ah Fu used his fat body to block the sun, creating a shady area for Link to shade the sun.
Then he looked at the huge blood cocoon and couldn't help asking, "Boss, is it going to be this time?" β
Link nodded, this time the 90% success rate, plus he was exposed to the sun for four or five hours, if he didn't succeed again, his mentality would collapse!
Link slowly turned his head and glanced due north, the mechanical city had long since left.
In four or five hours, the mechanical soldiers near the Grand Canal must have dispersed.
Five minutes passed quickly.
The blood cocoon gradually reacted, and a sharp yellow beak pierced the blood cocoon, cutting the blood cocoon like a knife.
Then a majestic head poked out of the blood cocoon and turned its head to look at the new world.

ββββ
Link grinned, the skin on his cheeks tingling stronger, but his heart was filled with joy, pain and happiness.
The name of the pet this time is really unexpected.
Link thought it would be called 'Desert Vulture' or something, but when the system prompt appeared, he was embarrassed not to hold back.
He laughed loudly, but tears hurt in the corners of his eyes.
Sure enough, if you want to talk about the name, the system is still broad and profound.
Originally, Link thought that after all pets were synthesized, they would initially be in the juvenile state, and the level would also become level 1. But the appearance of the sand sculpture broke his original conjecture, and he was born into adulthood, and still retained his original rank.
Only then did Link realize how powerful his [synthesis] function was.
If you are lucky enough to catch high-level creatures in the future, not to mention being strengthened after synthesis, and still being able to retain your level, wouldn't you be able to directly plunge into high-intensity battles and avoid the trouble of cultivation?
"This thing is an artifact! As long as you have enough HP, you can craft pets of the same level. A pet of the same level that has been strengthened is already extremely strong, and if you pull up an army of pets like this, it will be ......."
Link's eyes lit up, and he had already photoshopped the picture of Paul the Great in a heroic cosmic battle in his mind.
Link looked at it in detail this time.
Regarding the skills of sand sculptures, the first [Sand Dust Sweep] is completely a support-oriented skill, and the scope is also very clear, so it can be said that it is necessary for escape and sneak attack.
The second [Hawkeye] passive skill, which Link can understand in the first half, is equivalent to a large-range radar in the air. As long as it is a living, moving object, the sand sculpture can be clearly recorded.
But!
The second half of the sentence 'just ......' made Link a little flustered.
You remember that a gerbil just wrote the sentence 'may induce unknown problems', which has already made Link experience the pain of 'raising children for others'. Now there is an ellipsis in the skill of the sand sculpture, which makes him really panic.
I don't know what it is, but it's definitely not a good setting!
Link looked back and forth at the monster attributes several times, and finally muttered to himself, "Although there are pits buried in some places, at least they won't abandon me this time, right?" β
Link exited the system and saw the sand sculpture standing motionless on the ground, really looking like a sand sculpture.
On the contrary, it was Ah Fu on the side, who let out a hehehehehehe
"Ah Fu, what are you laughing at?"
"Hehe, I just saw the boss laughing, then this time the Grand Canal must be stable! So I'm happy too! β
Link snorted, "You're smart. β
Link raised his arm, and the next second the sand sculpture flew onto his arm.
Don't say it's quite heavy!
"Sand Sculpture, you are now scouting along the Grand Canal of Gauria, I want to know the situation along the Grand Canal!"
Link said, raising his arm.
The sand sculpture flapped its wings and flew into the air in a moment.
This time, in order to prevent accidents when crossing the river, Link tried the [Eagle Eye] ability of the sand sculpture first, and by the way, he also reconnoitred the situation near the Grand Canal in advance.
Wait until you get the details of the enemy's movements before taking action.
Five minutes later......
"it!"
Link was shocked.
