Chapter 278: The Origin of the Broken Bridge Lion
The boss is the boss after all, and Su Cheng held on alone for three minutes after everyone else knelt - he climbed to a tree and confronted the lion by virtue of his height and location.
Who says lions can't climb trees? "Cha" swayed around the tree a few times, actually found a direction and jumped up, and climbed to Su Cheng's feet after a few rubs, and was stabbed three times by Su Cheng's phoenix three nods, fell down the tree, and ran away with a trail of blood.
As soon as Su Cheng came down, the male lion without a mane ran back again, and stood between Su Cheng and the big tree at the moment when Su Cheng didn't have time to go up the tree......
** will actually make a fraud!
This is the second annihilation of the Seven Swords!
Seven Swords has enough super red medicine, but Su Cheng doesn't want to use it, and the others have no opinion.
Feng Wu Jiutian: "Those players who rely on super potions to knock down the ** are really entrenched." I guess they used at least a super red pill worth more than two thousand gold coins! "Super red medicine can't be circulated normally, but its price is still a mushroom cool, about ten times that of ordinary drugs of the same level.
Su Cheng: "It's not cost-effective. That's it for today, let it go first. Who has ever heard of a manless lion called 'Cha'? We're working hard outside the play! β
Everyone thinks there is a door. There is a death butcher in Zhenguanxi, a 'famous history' testimony, and there will definitely be other events and characters in the game that are famous in history waiting for players to crack and push down. The weaknesses of these people and things will most likely be the weaknesses of **.
But no one has found the information of 'Cha'.
Everyone handed in the blank papers, and only King Kong Cat was still in his mother's life. "I found it! It's too late to elaborate, everyone get in the car! β
Pretending to be a coerc: "? What kind of car to get into? Do you really think you're an old driver? β
Su Cheng: "Group me!" β
Brushing and brushing, the core of the seven swords immediately formed a mercenary group of nearly twenty people.
"The West Phantom Boy has been kicked out of the team!"
Su Cheng: "The guild is top secret!" Except for all class masters, other non-core combatants are requested to leave the group. Yiyi talk to the pretending criminal! β
Everyone was so dangerous, they almost forgot that there was an undercover agent in the team who was 'Zhengda Guangming'!
Even the life pro players who owned the shares withdrew from the team, and only thirteen people remained in the mercenary team.
Su Cheng praised King Kong Cat by name: "Cat, whether you are intentional or unintentional, this kind of thing related to confidential strategies, you didn't tell it the first time you found the clue!" Everyone will do the same in the future, and I will go back and talk to Rose and give you a reward of 100 gold coins! β
"Hehe......" King Kong Cat was a little embarrassed: "I originally wanted to say that I was grouped!" β
"I'll get you a standing tree! Help the parents to remember for a long time, and there will be no more in the future. I'll tell Rose to note some confidentiality in the contract with the signing player. You can now tell me what you found! β
"My search term is 'man-eating lion' and there are more than a dozen entries. The most famous of these is the 'Tsavo Man-eating Lion' β
At the end of the nineteenth century, the African Kenny government prepared to build a bridge over the Tsavo River. But two cannibalistic lions became a nightmare for the construction workers who built the bridge. These two lions were once rumored to have eaten one hundred and thirty-five people! They are therefore known as the "Tsavo Man-eating Lions". British Colonel John Patterson shot them in December 1898. However, later studies showed that the real number of people eaten by the two lions was about 35. The Tsavo River Man-Eating Lion, although it does not have a mane, is actually a male lion. Male lions in this area basically have no mane. Both man-eating lions were taxidermy and placed in the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. One was lying on its stomach, specimen number FMNH23970, and it is estimated that it ate 24 people. One was standing, specimen number FMNH23969, and it was estimated that it ate 11 people. Nia was a traditional route for the Arab slave trade, and when slaves often died on the way, the Tsavo lion ate these carcasses, and when there was not enough food, they began to hunt the living to survive.
These two man-eating lions are extremely intelligent, and it is not so easy to deal with them. Colonel Patterson used many of the methods of catching wild beasts in Africa: poisoning food, setting traps, and laying ropes, but the two lions were never fooled. In the end, he can only use the stupidest method: wait for the rabbit. Patterson insisted on staying up all night to keep watch, though his guard looked crumbling and fragile: a rudimentary sentry shelter supported only by four wobbly pillars. On several occasions, Patterson deliberately withheld the carcass in an attempt to attract lions. His weapons were powerful, and they were two standard rifles of the British army at the time: the Lee Enfield short rifle and the Martini-Henry rifle. Finally, on the night of December 9, he spotted one of the lions and shot it in the hind leg, and the lion fled, but soon returned wounded, and in turn fiercely pursued Patterson, this time killing the bloodthirsty lion by hitting it several times with a Lee Enfield rifle. Twenty days later, the second man-eating lion was killed by Patterson in the same way. The lion ghost was dispelled, and the construction workers returned to the site with peace of mind, and the Tsavo River Bridge was finally completed in February of the following year.
"Two things are enough to prove that this male lion called 'Cha' is one of the two man-eating lions of the Tsavo River. One is that this lion is called 'Cha'. Although we didn't see another lion named 'Wo' - this may be the design ape, worried that the player would be able to easily find the target archetype, deliberately named it with the word 'Cha'. The second proof is that this lion is indeed very intelligent, and poisoning, trapping, and trapping are ineffective against it, just like the historical man-eating lion of the Tsavo River. "King Kong Cat is not afraid of poisoning lions, and has always been obsessed.
Feng Wu Jiutian then analyzed: "Another point, these two lions were killed by Colonel Patterson separately, so they can only come out one at a time, and if they want to kill the other, they can only come again next time." β
Su Cheng clapped: "You can sit down!" In fact, there is a little more proof. This lion has a skill that can almost be called a passive skill, which is 'Bloodthirsty'. The Tsavo River lions have eaten so many people, and there is no more bloodthirsty beast than them. Or, the team that completes the first kill may get this 'bloodthirsty' ability. β
I couldn't sit still when I saw the blood. Bloodthirsty skills, the currently known information is that only the orc race, human berserkers, vampires, and druid wolves can be used after transformation, which can be regarded as a representative work of a berserker. "So this ** is actually two, only by killing 'Cha' under certain conditions, and then killing 'Wo' can it be regarded as completely overthrowing this **?"
"It's not difficult to overthrow this **, what is difficult is to get recognized by the system. There will be many restrictions in the process, and everyone will check the information of the cannibal lion after they go down and fill in the gaps. I won't fight today. Confidentiality is observed! β
The meeting ended, and the mercenary team was disbanded.
The West Phantom Boy was unhappy in the group chat: "You still treat me as an outsider!" β
Bai Yiyi was also unhappy: "I've quit!" Zhuang Bifan, have you forgotten that you brought your own bag? β
"I didn't forget! It's just that I'm still not happy! Boss Su, when can you give me this strategy or clue? β
Su Cheng smiled: "I understand when you say that - this lion, as a **, is a more popular guy." Lots of maps available! So this time the strategy will be more expensive! β
"Woo woo, I didn't get the information but sent you a clue, Boss Su, you are too cunning! So, even if it's expensive, I hope you can buy it for me sooner! β
"Don't be angry. Aren't the other guilds doing that? Besides, although we agree with this clue, we haven't verified it yet. It's only a matter of time before you buy and sell the strategy, but you have to wait at least until we get the first kill and see the rewards before we can determine the price and sales time! β
"Got it! Prime Minister...... You're always justified! β
"Rose, Fu Tao, Lao Zhang, are they all here? Group me and discuss things in life! β
Qin Xiaoman's illness gave Su Cheng a wake-up call. He decided to rent another house in Little Rock with a larger space to serve as a gym for the Seven Swords Guild. "It's all about game nerds, game nerds. It's been three months since Seven Swords was formed, and even I feel like my physical fitness is going downhill! It can't go on like this, even if the Seven Swords can sell for millions now, I can't let a game ruin everyone's health. I decided to open an in-house gym! β
Rose: "It's all decided, what are you calling us for?" β
Lao Zhang is a logistics and procurement, but this old man has always paid attention to the maintenance of his body, but he is very supportive of Su Cheng: "I support." After the meeting ended, I went to look for a house. The fitness equipment you need to buy, Xiao Su, you are an expert, you can make a list for me. β
Of course, Fu Tao also supports the opening of a gym. When he himself worked as a security guard in the community, he was able to work there for seven or eight years because there was a gym with relatively sound equipment in that community for free use by the community security guards: "The body is the capital of the men's revolution and the guarantee of women's beauty!" What are you calling me for? β
"Hehe, I've always been working out with my bare hands! The workout equipment is still yours to come to! β
Fu Tao pursed his mouth: "Fitness with bare hands, you are still a prisoner fitness!" Isn't the workout effect of the equipment better? β
"Which is better, the jury has never been conclusive. I think it's all about persistence. Equipment can better maintain people's interest in fitness. Why don't we compare tomorrow? β
"I'll go! You're not angry and want to bully people, are you? β
"I haven't forgotten that you're a 'single man', how about I exceed 10 percent of you in every item?"
Fu Tao heard the voiceover and became angry: "What's wrong with the single kidney?" If you dare to put 10% of the water, I will dare not pick the project to face the whole process! β
The two of them were fighting, and Rose could hear it. She knew that Fu Tao only had one kidney.
Lao Zhang didn't know, and interjected at this time: "You and Rose are quite compatible, why do you still say anything about being single?" Awkward? Alas, I see that you are all from the past, what kind of childish temper are you playing? It's not that I'm talking about you, Peach, Rose can take a fancy to you kid, it's a blessing for your kid! Do you think you could find a better girl than Rose? I don't think it's a way! β
The two plants, the peach and the rose, looked at each other...... Where is all this?
Su Cheng sent more than a dozen icons of pounding the table and laughing in a row and fled, leaving Fu Tao to want to PK all the living forces and go crazy in the chat group!
The game between the two was not hidden from others, but the fans of the game were basically night owls, so no one got up early in the morning to watch the game. When they returned, they were both sweating profusely. The difference is that Su Cheng's face is ruddy, as if he has not yet finished his fun, and Fu Tao has a loveless face: he has insisted on fitness for many years, but he still lost to the opponent he most hoped to beat.
At this time, everyone had already gotten up and washed up, did not eat, and sat and waited to watch the play.
Of course, Fu Tao will not let go of this opportunity to pickle Su Cheng: "I lost!" Shouldn't Boss Su show off his skills and open everyone's eyes? β
Qin Xiaoman saw Rose handing Fu Tao a hot towel, she also wanted to learn it, but saw Angela running in front of Su Cheng in a few steps, stretched out a green onion white finger, and pointed twice on Su Cheng's chest muscles through the T-shirt: "It's so hard!" I really can't see that Brother Orange has such a good figure when I put on clothes! β
Amir snorted heavily: "You've been exercising for a long time, right?" Some people are born with muscular and physical qualities! Why don't you give it a try? β
Su Cheng rolled his eyes: "Even the Terminator recognizes my power!" Do you want to try the taste of failure? β
In the coaxing of the crowd who were not afraid of big things, the two sat on both sides of the dinner table and began to wrestle.
Only Nazagul and Mayila know that Amir is not just a taxi driver, he is also a record holder or champion in various sports at the Grassland Cultural Festival: horse racing, bouldering, sheep grabbing, wrestling, and everything else. Good physical fitness is the key to him becoming a bigwig-level figure among the taxi drivers in Yihe Province at a young age. Not only does he have a strong explosive power, but he also has a lasting power.
At the beginning, Su Cheng still had the strength to adjust while evaluating Amir's strength in his heart, and as Amir's strength rolled in like a stormy wave, he found that Amir didn't seem to have the ambition to 'go all out', but his determination to make a decision was not concealed at all.
Su Cheng let out a low snort, his arm suddenly strengthened, and the blood vessels and green tendons on the back of his hand and arm jumped up. Amir's arm shook back, his teeth clenched, and he actually withstood Su Cheng's wave of force. However, Su Cheng didn't stop, and drank again in his mouthβthe third one, and finally pressed Amir's arm down on the table.
Amir sighed and raised his hand, looking carefully, only to see that the back of his hand was pinched out by Su Cheng with a few clear fingerprints. He raised his eyes to look at Su Cheng.
Su Cheng also turned over the back of his hand, and printed a circle of white fingerprints like Amir: "Your strength is very strong." But I'm also a person with lasting scientific training. I used to eat with all my strength! β
This made Amir a little strange, Su Cheng didn't look like a person who worked hard to earn money: "You rely on your strength to eat?" Carrying a big bag? β
"Hehe, don't believe it. I've been boxing on the black market for two years! β
Amir scratched his head: "Really? I thought about beating you up for Naza's running to play a game - luckily, I was able to suppress my temper when I saw that you were all doing well! β
Fu Tao still wanted to stir up trouble, and said in a weird manner: "If I don't do it, it is estimated that the men in this room will not be Su Boss's opponent!" You say, do you want Boss Su to give a performance? β
Now even Bai Yiyi is interested: "What is the unique skill of the little orange?" Can you get a high-level class in Twilight? β
Fu Tao pretended to think about it: "I really don't know this." In the social background hundreds of years ago, was there such a profession as a fitness coach? β
Bai Yiyi sighed: "Hundreds of years ago? Except for the stone lock, I'm afraid there is no decent gym equipment, right? β
"Boss Su is an expert in freehand fitness and doesn't need equipment. Everyone said, do you want him to perform one? β
There is a chance to put the boss in the army, and no one will say a word. Everyone applauded in unison, and the boss and Brother Orange shouted indiscriminately. Su Cheng couldn't refute the face of so many people, so he had to say: "Let's let go, a small piece of space is enough!" "He just wants to do a few difficult push-ups.
The place was vacated, Fu Tao put down the two bricks, and he didn't know when he ran to the yard to pick up the bricks: "Boss, come to a V-shaped support!" β
What is a V-shaped support? King Kong knows, "Hey, isn't it?" This is a palace-level movement for freehand fitness. I've seen a fitness trainer do it in less than two seconds before! β
Amir: "What move?" Two seconds to make people feel cowhide coaxing? β
King Kong Cat made a two-handed motion: "That's it...... Just look at the boss's moves and you'll understand! If you can do this action, you will be a god-like existence at the gym wherever you go! β
Su Cheng knew that he was put on a swing by Fu Tao. He wasn't angry either. It is estimated that Fu Tao has been planning this matter since he went offline last night, wanting to avenge the three words 'single man'. Who calls themselves defenseless? It's good that you don't need to warm up now. He looked at Fu Tao: "Do you think I can't complete this action now?" Tell you, as far as the game just now, my brother still let you go! Believe it or not! With that, he straightened his legs and bent over the brick with both hands. The toes are closed together, the whole person is like a pendulum, with the shoulders as the axis to rotate, when the toes exceed the head, the action is stagnant, and then swing back slightly, posing a only two hands to support the body, waist and hips as the bottom, the body is like a V-shaped action.
The onlookers were still stunned, and Su Cheng had already exerted his strength with both hands, slowly resuming the movement of bending over with straight legs.
"It's less than three seconds!" Amir was a little unconvinced.
"The standard stop-and-finish movement is harder than doing five seconds on parallel bars. There is almost no regression in your physical fitness. How do you do it? Fu Tao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looking a little difficult.
"You think I'm exercising less? Hehe, in addition to my physical training once every two days, I also have to do a half-hour static core strength exercise every day before going to bed. It's not the same every day, this V-shaped support is one of the actions! β
Bai Yiyi teased: "You are so keen on fitness, the coach position of Seven Swords Gym belongs to you!" β
Su Cheng smiled: "I have always been freehand fitness, and the equipment fitness is not as skilled as Peaches." After that, Momoko and I served as everyone's fitness instructors for one day. No one is allowed to be lazy! Moreover, this task can only be obeyed, only punished, and not conditional. β
"Hey, hey, hey! Each of you two will suffer one day each, and the others will suffer every day? β
Fu Tao glanced at Shi Meng like an idiot: "It is advisable for non-professionals to exercise once every two days, no more than forty-five minutes each time!" β
Amir: "Can't I go every day?" β
Su Cheng admired his refusal to admit defeat: "Yes, but the effect is not much stronger than once every two days." Exercise, in addition to persistence, is the most important scientific and systematic method! β
While talking, Lao Zhang came to the hall, and since his wife started cooking for Qijian, there had been no fire in his house. I heard that Su Cheng had just performed a 'V-word support' for everyone that he had never heard of, and it was still a very difficult fitness action, so he couldn't help but shout pity: "Xiao Su has another one, give me a long experience!" β
"No problem! How's your house looking? Su Cheng agreed in his mouth while changing the topic.
"Hehehe, there is no house in this Little Rock that I don't understand! Just one hundred and ten meters from the left hand of our seven swords, there is an auto parts warehouse, which used to be mainly engaged in truck parts, and just a few days ago it was emptied and hung out of the sublease brand, with four or five hundred square meters...... Where are you going? β
Su Cheng had already put on his coat: "I'll go and see." Tell Aunt Zhang to leave me some food. β
"You kid haven't given me the performance pills yet! Stay for dinner? Starve you! β
The man went out, the door was closed!
Su Cheng didn't know that Li Yuanbao was taking out a mobile phone in the room to tease Lao Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, do you want to see the ball support?" β
"Great! Give me! β
"What's for breakfast tomorrow?"
"Eat whatever you want! Where is Aunt Zhang, isn't it my word? β
"You want me to change the recipe just a word? You dead old man, don't you know that the recipe is a three-day must? Aunt Zhang came over with a spoon......
Today's stated goal is to 'investigate'.
Su Cheng was not in a hurry: "An hour of personal professional task time, the South Gate is over." First do the mercenary group mission, and then go to fight the lion! β
Personal career tasks, which are related to the career development of each player, have always been the top priority of Seven Swords players. Because of the improvement of "Rock Heart", everyone's mercenary points are not enough, so they have become the starting target of group tasks.
The territory of the Tsavo River Lion occupies most of the map, and except for one fishing spot, which is basically safe, the other areas are the lion's range. There is also a rope bridge near the broken bridge that is limited to one person at a time, and although lions often sway across the road on both sides of the rope bridge, they rarely stop on the road. Therefore, players passing through this area can be safe if they are careful. In the lower right corner of the map is a timber collection point, but this resource point is not safe - you must work in a team of more than two people to cut the wood, make sure that one person is on guard, and retreat early when you see a lion to ensure safety. The price of timber in Bluestone City has always been high based on this.
Combined with the known information, the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment set the ambush point in the woods near the timber collection point. As for where the lion is now, and when he will come and enter the encirclement, no one has considered. Through Su Su's falcon, the news of the imminent annihilation of a team of players who wanted to overthrow the lion reached everyone's ears.
"Wait while you cut wood." Su Cheng took the lead and began to work. The Logging skill doesn't require skill points, just an axe. However, players with a logging skill level will not only be able to cut more wood per unit of time, but also have a much greater chance of getting rare wood than other players. The wood can be sold to NPC carpenters for gold, and is limited to thirty copies per day. It takes about half an hour to harvest enough coins, and the gold in exchange is only enough for the player's food, water, and lodging expenses for a day. Some people will cut wood for hours a day and only hand in tasks for the next few days. It is reported that after players open the guild system and family system, wood will also become a team resource, which will be used to build guild territories and family castles. Rare wood can not only improve the defense of the territory and castle, and have a certain blessing for the members of the territory within the range, but also the material for some weapons and equipment, and some old guilds have begun to hoard rare wood for backup.
