Chapter 4: Learning God's Survival Skills
Elite bosses.
As long as your grades are not too bad when you are a student, you will understand the dangers involved.
Anyone who is branded as a boss is an extremely dangerous existence among the creatures in the mining area.
Hunting bosses, even the lowest-level elite bosses, requires the cooperation of several squads.
Excludes, of course, the teams of the Chosen One who possess several talents.
On the Rift Teleporter's map, you can see a lot of areas, marked with four colors.
The color represents the hazard level.
The yellow area has bosses that humans need to spend a lot of manpower to deal with at this stage, sacrificing many elites.
The blue zone is relatively weaker, and it is also the place where the various teams get feats, but the mortality rate is not low. The Novice Village is a green area and is not too dangerous.
As for the red zone, there are creatures that are more powerful than the Scourge bosses, and they are a place that must not be approached.
There are not many blue and green zones, and the yellow and red zones occupy the vast majority of the map, in short, human civilization is still in the stage of mining land reclamation.
Tang Xian pointed to a place in the blue area and said:
"The Three-Headed Hellhound is a subtemperate canid, and the temperature in the vicinity is between 23 and 31 degrees Celsius, which is very suitable for its survival, and there are a large number of rabbit-eared rats in the red soil forest, which are the favorite food of the Three-Headed Hellhounds and Bone Jackals. Ready, I'm going to slaughter the dogs. ”
It's as if the Three-Headed Hellhound were just some kind of critter. Dong Ran wondered if Tang Xian still had a helper, otherwise how could he challenge the three-headed dog of hell alone?
The two fell silent. Tang Xian silently flipped through the task manual, killing time little by little.
……
……
Mining area, the land of laterite.
Winter Dye is very nervous, after all, in the mining area, most of the props will lose their effect, a well-equipped team, naturally have weapons, and the weapons that can be used in the mining area, whether it is knives, guns, sticks, or firearms and grenades, are all converted from armed mines.
If you want to slaughter the elite boss, in addition to preparing weapons, you have to find all the team members.
Output members who are good at using weapons, people who are good at healing, and people who are good at observing.
The more talent data you have, the stronger your combat ability will be.
These abilities are indispensable for dealing with bosses.
Tang Xian had nothing.
In the tent at night, he looks like a silent sculpture after the lights are out.
Dong Ran asked Tang Xian what data he could see, and Tang Xian's answer made Dong Xian shocked.
"I'm not a gifted person. There is no talent. ”
"That'...... You must have brought a powerful weapon, right? ”
"Do you look at where I live, like someone who can afford high-end equipment?"
"Are you...... Got a strong teammate to pick up? ”
"I don't know, there should be later. You can consider cultivating a few, and let's talk about it when you meet it. ”
“……”
Winter Dye froze, suddenly wondering if he had met a madman.
After graduating from six years of survival education, after returning to the first layer, getting used to the quality of life on the third floor, and then returning to the first layer without food, some crazy thoughts will sprout.
"You've got to...... A little prepared, right? ”
"Of course, I definitely can't tear the boss with my bare hands. The nights in the laterite forest are dangerous, but there are almost no poisonous insects, snakes and ants in this area, and most of them are mammalian herbivores and carnivores. The food chain here is also relatively simple. ”
Winter Dye didn't understand much.
"There is mutual restraint in nature, just like next to poisonous weeds, there may be other plants that can detoxify. The breeding ability of the three-headed dogs of hell is not bad, but in this land, there are still not many three-headed dogs of hell that can be seen. It can even be said that there are very few. ”
Tang Xian looked at the girl's misty expression, and remembered that when he was seventeen years old, he wrote an academic report "Research on the Possibility of Biological Captivity in Mining Areas", and then was rated as whimsical by the teacher. He felt that the teacher was like a girl in front of him.
People who are not at the same level have no way to communicate ideas at all.
"It means that the natural predators that can kill the three-headed dog of hell are also in this area. Animals are animals after all, and the biggest difference between them and humans is that people can rely on reason to forcibly suppress instinctive impulses, but animals only follow instincts. ”
After Tang Xian finished speaking, he chose a comfortable position to lie down, and seemed to be sure that there would be no accidents tonight.
The night in the mining area is indeed dangerous, Tang Xian once deduced some rules of nocturnal walking of creatures in the mining area based on the situation of the three night attacks of creatures in the novice village.
Everything in this world has traces. It's just that there aren't many people who are really willing to observe.
……
……
It was dawning very quickly.
When Dong Ran woke up, Tang Xian was squatting in the center of the tent, with some melons and fruits on the ground.
"What is this?"
Smelling the fragrance that he had never smelled before, Dongdye moved his index finger.
"Red-tailed tree fruits, blue banana fruits, the favorite of the black spotted monkeys, this place is inhabited by many black spotted monkeys. Naturally, they have something they like. ”
Originally, I didn't think it looked like it was edible, after all, the mining area gave the impression that the animals were crazy, and the plants were crazy.
But seeing that Tang Xian was eating very fragrantly, she didn't care much about it, peeled off the blue banana fruit, and began to eat it.
The moment I bite into the flesh, the sweet and juicy texture and vanilla-like flavor make Fuyuzen's eyes widen.
Oh my God, why is it so delicious?
Nutritious meals can achieve a lot of fruit-like taste experience, but compared with real natural fruits, the taste is still inferior.
Dong Ran looked at Tang Xian in surprise again, this person ...... How do you seem to understand everything?
After eating the melons and fruits, Tang Xian said, "I'm going to find the location of the three-headed dog of hell, and you stay in the tent by yourself?" ”
"I'll go with you!"
"Are you sure? It's okay, there won't be any danger, but you might not be able to stand it. ”
"What do you mean?"
……
……
Winter Dye quickly understood what it meant.
The preparation before finding the three-headed dog of hell is even more difficult in the eyes of this beautiful girl than the hunting of the three-headed dog of hell itself.
Tang Xian first cut a lot of red needle-like plants, and Tang Xian also gave winter dyeing science by the way, named red thread grass.
It is a grass with a leaf of grass that emits a strange odor. This odor is harmless to humans, and it is not too toxic to animals.
But the smell will make all animals shy away.
Tang Xian said: "If you want to survive in the mining area, it is best to mash the red thread grass and then smear it on yourself. That way the carnivorous creatures won't come near unless we provoke them too much. ”
Dong Ran is very reluctant to do this, but Tang Xian's temper is very stubborn, if you don't do this, you are not allowed to follow me. As a last resort, the softly fragrant girl began to emit the smell of the retreat of a hundred beasts.
I don't know if this knowledge is true.
When she was a student, her grades in survival education were not bad, and she was barely an honor student, but even if she had better grades than her, there seemed to be few Tang Xian who were so knowledgeable.
And he has a strong practical ability. Along the way, she really didn't see any creatures, although this is a blue zone, but it only means that the intensity of creatures is generally low, it doesn't mean that there are no beasts along the way.
"What's next?"
"Find the three-headed dog's den."
……
……
The Red Clay Forest is extremely vast, and it takes a lot of time to find the lair of an elite-level boss creature in such a place.
In particular, humans cannot stay in a mine for more than seven days. After seven days, the vitality will be drastically reduced until death.
Therefore, many people set a safety period of three days in their hearts, and five days is very rare. And it is almost impossible to find the den of the three-headed dog of hell in a few days.
Tang Xian didn't think there was anything impossible, if it went well, it could be completed today, as for the time in the mining area, he personally liked the mining area very much, and it gave him a more comfortable feeling here than in the pyramid.
Tang Xian really wanted to stay for seven days to test what it was like to have a so-called rapid loss of vitality, and after he returned, he could publish an article on B: What is the experience of staying in the mining area for seven days.
Dong Dye was curious about what Tang Xian would do next to find the three-headed dog of hell.
In the morning, the air is still a little humid.
Tang Xian didn't look around like a headless fly, there were many plants growing in the laterite forest, and after smearing the red thread grass, his actions were also very decisive, not too high-profile, but also not deliberately cautious.
Winter Dye noticed that Tang Xian seemed to pay extra attention to the trees.
Under some trees with thicker branches, Tang Xian's gaze would stay for a long time.
Tang Xian came to the bottom of a soil tree, and the trees he had noticed before were all red-tailed trees. Regarding the red-tailed tree, Tang Xian just thought about it for a long time, but he didn't really do anything.
Until he found out that there was a soil tree here, Tang Xian slowly approached the branch.
Winter Dye followed not far behind Tang Xian.
The tree had no leaves, it looked bare, and the branches were covered with something that resembled moss.
Dong Dye didn't learn anything about woody plants in her survival education, and she majored in birds. I think that Tang Xian should be in the direction of the plant.
Dong Ran felt that Tang Xian seemed to be very familiar with the ecological environment.
Tang Xian squatted down, and then dipped his index finger in the soil at the stump. Dong Ran's eyes widened, and in the next second, Tang Xian actually put the dirt that looked very unappetizing in front of his nose and sniffed it carefully.
The smell of this earth stinks. But the nutrients are extremely high. It is called red soil because the soil is red and the vegetation cover here is very high. It is because of this strong smell that makes humans uncomfortable with the soil.
The soil in the mining area is naturally different from the desert in the human world, and it is full of life.
Tang Xian frowned slightly, the smell of this soil was indeed not good, but he still dug up a lot of this soil and put it in the prop bag.
Winter dye can't read it. Tang Xian didn't speak.
After determining that the Tsuchiyoki had what he needed, he began to look for the Tsuchiyoshi.
The earth tree can be regarded as a towering tree, although it looks bare with a bit of an eerie atmosphere in the deep forest.
However, the Toji tree grows in a forest full of red-tailed trees, and it stands out from the crowd.
"Animals are territorial, and even the dogs in the pyramid that have been worn out by humans will know how to find a telephone pole to pee or something."
Tang Xian suddenly spoke, probably feeling too bored. He remembers that when he was thirteen years old, he read a book called "Research Collection of Canine Biology in Mining Areas", and then in order to confirm it, he found many similar books, such as "Canine Biological Habits in Mining Areas" and "Canine Biology Questions and Answers in Mining Areas".
Compared with other creatures, Tang Xian has the most research on canine biology. Because dog meat is delicious.
Of course, he knew everything that was known to mankind about the mining area.
For example, the earth parade tree.
Tang Xian was well aware of the distribution of the Tuji Tree, and it was only a matter of time before he could find the same smell of soil along the Tuji Tree.
Later in the evening, he finally found a cave that was dry and shady and sheltered from the rain.
It took me nearly ten kilometers to find it in the direction of the last Tuji tree.
Standing behind a boulder bunker somewhere outside the cave, Tang Xian whispered, "The Three-Headed Dog of Hell will not live in too humid places due to its ability to breathe flames, and other water sources are extremely lethal to them except for the necessary water intake needed to survive. Interestingly, the bone jackal, which is also a canine family, is also a natural enemy of the three-headed dog of hell, and is also a creature that is very afraid of water. ”
"What now?" Dong Ran didn't pay attention to Tang Xian's words.
The den has been found, the question is how to hunt the three-headed dog of hell?
What several elite squads may not be able to do, Tang Xian dares to do it alone?
Dong Ran really expects Tang Xian to be the kind of folk master who hides a lot of abilities, and has the strong strength to live at the top level, but he has to live on the first floor.
There are often such episodes in the YY novels of the low-level vendors.
However, Tang Xian didn't have the ability to fight, at least not yet, he glanced at the lair of the Hell Three-Headed Dog, and then turned around and walked in the other direction.
Considering that he only has one audience, although this audience is stupid, in order to kill the boredom, Tang Xian still explained:
"Between animals and plants, those who live and restrain each other often live very closely, and where poisonous insects, snakes and ants live, there are often detoxified grasses or melons and fruits. But animals are not the same from animal, antelope's nest will be far away from the cheetah, and it is impossible for a stag to be a lion's neighbor. Although it is common to see each other hunting, it is because the water source makes them meet. ”
"However, the biological structure of the mine is very special, especially the three-headed dog of hell and the bone jackal, which are very afraid of water, even if they meet occasionally. It's just a matter of making people. ”
"The Bone Jackal hated the Three-Headed Hell, but couldn't find the Three-Headed Hell, we were lucky, but we found it ten kilometers north of the last Earthen Tree where the smell was broken, of course, looking over there, it was obvious that the vegetation was more barren, and I speculated that the direction was more arid, which met the criteria for the Three-Headed Dog to choose a nest. It's no wonder that the bone jackal can't find a three-headed dog. So it needs a little guidance. ”
This time, Dong Dye somewhat understood Tang Xian's intentions.
She was actually not stupid, and suddenly thought that the smell of canine urine marks the territory, and Tang Xian smelled the soil in front of her to confirm the smell?
Textbooks occasionally describe this smell, but no matter how precise the description is...... It's also very difficult to practice, right?
Is this man a genius? What you have seen on paper can be put into practice directly?
When I observed the earth and red-tailed trees before, was it to look for characteristics?
If there are many trees, the three-headed dog of hell will naturally not have the immeasurable urine of the sea in its bladder, and it is impossible for every tree to pee and soak to indicate that this place belongs.
So they will pick some of the ones that are characteristic.
The details of this kind of characteristic are difficult for others to know, but Tang Xian can easily find them.
In the same way, Tang Xian could also find the type of red-tailed tree that the bone jackal preferred from many red-tailed trees.
It is better to say that it is a preferred trunk, but it is ...... The urinal favored by the bone jackal.
The process was the same, he found some kind of dirt and smelled a disgusting smell, but this time, Tang Xian didn't put the dirt in the prop bag.
Instead, he took out the dirt that originally smelled of the urine of the three-headed dog of Hell from the prop bag and slowly covered it.
Dongran looked at all this and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.
Who would smell a dog's urine? Who can remember the description of animal urine in a book? Those who can enter this area of the mining area must be regular workers, all of whom live on the second floor or even higher, and who will come in and make themselves stinky and painted with mashed red thread grass?
Looking at the sky, Tang Xian frowned and said, "It's best to finish these tasks before eleven o'clock tonight." Gotta hurry. ”
Winter Dye didn't understand it again.
Tang Xian could see Dong Ran's expression only from the corner of his eye, but he didn't bother to care about that idiot expression.
Time is running out, and he has to speed up.
