14. Prelude to snake slaughter
The Land of Inheritance.
The sky is high, and there are no clouds!
At the top of the mountain at a height of a thousand meters, behind a rock, Himeya lay motionless.
The "Mantis Invisibility Cloak" he was wearing had automatically transformed into exactly the same color as the rock, and even if it was a golden eagle whose vision had reached the ninth order of the mortal level, it was estimated that it would be difficult to quickly find out where his location was.
"Sizzle, sizzle......"
In the secluded waterhole about a hundred meters away in a straight line, a black jade scaly black snake with two horns on its head and a thin dragon bloodline was slowly swimming towards the shore.
"The deadliest part of a snake creature is its heart, which is the target of the saying 'hit a snake and hit seven inches'."
"Because it bears the function of whole-body blood transfusion, as long as the heart is destroyed, the snake will die!"
"In addition, the 'three-inch' position on the snake's body is also critical, because the snake's vertebrae are the most vulnerable and easily broken in this position. Once interrupted, the channels of communication between the nerve center and the rest of the body are destroyed, and the ability to move is greatly lost. ”
"Of course, because of the difference in the size and type of snake, the specific position of 'three inches' and 'seven inches' is different, and the length cannot be measured from the head to the back, but needs to be judged with rich experience!"
His eyes were fixed on the black snake swimming in the water, and Himeya's head was recalling this information.
In fact, as a professional wilderness survivor, he naturally has a good understanding of the common sense of snakes "seven inches" and "three inches".
However, it was not as thorough as it is today.
Because these days, with Ling Chen's help, he has personally dissected hundreds of snakes of various types.
Ji Ye is now looking at the eyes of the black snake in the waterhole that has the blood of a dragon and can swallow the golden eagle tiger and leopard alive, as if he is looking at a bowl of churning white heat and sprinkling some green onions on the "black jade snake meat soup"!
Speaking of the level of "metamorphosis", the forum has been more detailed in the past few days.
Magic, True Energy, Abilities, Firearms, Electronic Devices......
These things, in a way, represent that humanity has mastered extraordinary powers beyond their own powers, and they are all assigned to this level in the Land of Inheritance!
"According to the forum, though!"
"Something at the mortal level doesn't mean that it's definitely more powerful than the mortal level!"
For example, a particularly weak magical apprentice, although he has already mastered a trace of magic through meditation, is qualified to call himself a "mortal".
But this trace of magic power can't even cast a single magic, and in the face of a strong ordinary person, he will still be stoned to death with a punch.
Even being able to cast magic doesn't mean you won't be stoned to death, because magic is not the same as defensive magic, or even if you have mastered defensive magic, it doesn't mean that you can release it when someone is close to you......
Therefore, theoretically, even if this black snake belongs to the "First Order of Mortal Transformation" and is still a "Commander-level" creature that is stronger than the elite, if it is hit by the "Wild Bull Heavy Crossbow" of the ninth order of the mortal level, it will definitely be fatal!
Well, the Brute Bull Heavy Crossbow!
Ji Ye took a look at the "Wild Bull Heavy Crossbow" that was put by him to his side, and was also in camouflage under the cover of the mantis invisibility cloak.
Speaking of which, in the test, this Brute Bull Heavy Crossbow was indeed amazingly powerful, and even if it flew a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, it still had a powerful killing ability.
However, the relative weight is also somewhat exaggerated, more than 20 kilograms. With the arm strength of ordinary people on earth, it is simply impossible to raise it stably and aim at it, let alone use it in battle!
However, this is not too much of a problem for Ji Ye, because his current attributes have improved to a certain extent compared to when he killed the bronze male bull a few days ago.
【Race】Terran (Earth)
【Talent】Fusion (Mortal Grade: Inheritance)
【Level】Mortal Rank 9 (Elite)
【Skill】Brute Bull Quenching Body (Perfection), Seven Star Mantis Fist (Zhongcheng)
[Items] Bull Heavy Crossbow, Black Bee Arrow, Flame Burst Arrow, Purple Jade Double-armed Knife, Cowhide Battle Boots, Mantis Type I Invisibility Suit......
[Experience] 0
At that offline meeting five days ago, after learning about some of the peculiarities of the base. Himeya has already made up her mind to complete this mission.
For this reason, he even did not hesitate to consume almost all of his experience points these days, and finally deduced "Brute Bull Quenching Strength" to the "consummation" level.
As a result, his level has also reached the "Mortal Ninth Order (Elite)"!
Of course, it must be a bit insufficient to say that it is facing the black snake head-on.
After all, the two male and female golden eagles who had also reached the ninth order before besieged together, and in the end, they were killed and injured, and they were also sent to the door and picked up by him.
Therefore, Ji Ye's real killer feature is still placed next to the Brute Bull Heavy Crossbow, and the two colors and shapes are somewhat special large crossbow arrows!
One is antique silver throughout, and the other four are black!
The effect of the ancient silver-colored "Flame Burst Arrow" naturally does not need to be said, but the black arrow is the result of a new round of experiments after his "Fusion" talent skill has been cooled down again.
【Black Blade (Crossbow Arrow)】
Rank: Mortal Rank 9
Grade: Excellent
NOTE: A special quality crossbow bolt infused with the venom of the Great Black Bee, which will quickly paralyze parts of the target creature's body when it hits.
These venoms can be obtained from a group of purple-eyed black bees that are no more than the first order of the mortal level, but they are the size of a fist, and there are hundreds of swarms at every turn, even if the mortal level is eighth and ninth order creatures have to retreat.
The bottle of cologne he collected, which was originally intended to be sold for newcomer money, was really a great achievement!
"Sizzle, sizzle......"
By the time Ji Ye recalled this incident, the black snake had completely swam out of the waterhole, and after climbing ashore, the whole body was more than fifteen meters long.
Then, climb even faster than in the water, towards the side of the mountain!
"Well, are you going to the 'fog zone' again?"
Seeing this, Ji Ye's expression moved.
In the past few days, in addition to preparing for the black snake, Ji Ye also tried to spend some time on this mountain to find the "only Terran stronghold" mentioned in the mission.
However, it didn't work out.
First, because the range of the kilometer-high mountain is too large.
In addition, there are a large number of monsters of all kinds of seventh, eighth, and ninth orders and even mortal level hidden in it, and it is impossible to say that it is impossible to conduct a comprehensive investigation now.
Second, there is a large area to the south of this mountain, which has always been covered by a fog area, and he definitely does not dare to venture into it without knowing the situation inside.
However, during these days, the black snake will crawl into the fog area for a period of time every day, and when it comes back, its stomach will be bulging, and its movement will be much slower.
Obviously, this black snake with the blood of a dragon went to the fog area to hunt.
After all, not every time a golden eagle takes the initiative to deliver it to the door like on the first day, and its appetite far exceeds that of those on the planet who can starve for a month after eating a mouse or frog!
"So, the best time to get started is when it leaves the waterhole to eat in the fog and comes back!"
Himeya didn't rush to make a move.
Instead, he watched the black snake enter the churning mist, and chose to continue to lie dormant on the rocks.
On the way, he felt thirsty, so he drank a bottle of "Nestle Mineral Water" that burst out after killing two flame-colored cardinals more than a foot long on the way.
But to be honest, Ji Ye still likes to drink Nongfu Spring even more.
Although in the eyes of many people, mineral water is exactly the same taste, but in fact, the latter tastes really a little sweet!
