A few days later, on the edge of the Grasse Hills.

The gray-brown land was rugged, the crumbling rocks were overgrown with weeds, and it was barren and dead silent.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The roar of an engine shattered the calm, the wheels ran over gravel and dead grass, the radio played wild heavy metal music, and the car swayed as it shook.

The sound disturbed the sickle beetles that roosted on the back of the dirt slope. They raised their heads one after another, and after determining the direction, the elytra behind them were erected, and the transparent membranous wings spread backwards, agitating at high speed, rising vertically like helicopters.

Chen Xing, who was in the car, saw that his hands were still holding the steering wheel, and his mind moved, and two mirror doppelgangers were separated in the co-pilot and the rear seat. As the main body continues to drive, the clone pulls out two assault rifles from the storage space and shoots at the flying swarm of beetles.

Now Chen Xing is already the pinnacle of the town guard level, only one step away from the big town guard level, and his physical fitness has reached the standard, as long as he has a sense of spiritual energy and breaks through the barrier of the spirit pool, he can build a tower.

A shuttle of blue bullets pierced the air, dragging the blue trajectory towards the beetle swarm, the carapace shattered in an instant, cracks spread all over the body, and thick green juice splattered everywhere.

Of the twenty or so sickle beetles, more than half of them were lost in one photo, and the rest swooped down with their scythes. Chen Xing manipulated the vehicle to make a serpentine detour, and the beetle's attacks failed one after another, and then he was slashed one by one by the clones who drew out their sheathed knives at close range.

After leaving behind the corpses of insects, the off-road vehicle continued on its way, and soon a new attacker was attracted by the sound.

It was a mountain centipede, its shiny black carapace rubbing against the gravel on the ground, its tentacles whipped back and forth, and thousands of tiny knobs supported its massive body to move rapidly.

One doppelganger shoots with an assault rifle to slow down the mountain centipede, while the other takes out a sniper rifle and concentrates his energy to deliver a deep strike. In a short time, the mountain centipede was beaten to pieces, the juice flowed everywhere, and the last rocket completely ended it.

The barren land is always full of dangers, and not long after dealing with the centipede, Chen Xing suddenly felt a sense and slammed the steering wheel. The wheels made a screeching sound and turned sharply around a ninety-degree turn.

A huge insect pincer broke through the ground and rushed straight up, and if it was half a second late, the off-road vehicle would be scrapped.

[Red Clay Antlion (Town Guard)]

[Vitality: 681/681]

[Talents: Stealth, Ambush, Spike Shell, Spike Attack]

[Virus Possible: None]

The laterite antlion is the most common mutant creature in the post-cataclysmic uninhabited area. The essence of nuclear radiation is a kind of psionic energy full of harmful impurities, and insects with relatively simple genetic structures are more likely to adjust themselves to the new environment than beasts.

The impact of space-time undercurrents and the global nuclear radiation coverage have contributed to the enormity of the originally tiny insects. Also known as the "sand monkey", the antlion is the size of a green bean grain and is often caught by children in the countryside for play, but when mutated, it is larger than a truck. They are good at digging and like to lurk underground waiting for passing prey, using two large pincers to hunt and kill.

Judging by the size of the worm pincers, this antlion is larger than a yacht.

The car made a sharp turn, and due to the excessive speed, the body tilted more than 30 degrees. The two "Chen Xing" pulled the car door and turned around to shoot, and the main body also pulled out the silver star to help the battle, and the three muzzles of the guns spat out tongues of fire at the same time, and the bullets burst out with blue light at the joints of the insect pincers.

A large number of sand and fragments of insect shells sprayed backwards, and the muffled wails of insects could be heard from the ground.

The antlion struggled to get out of the ground, its body dotted with black diamond-like crystals, and sharp stingers on the crystals, like a cactus ball. I saw it twist its body quickly, the insect stingers contracted into the body, and then with a "poof", it shot out a sky full of spikes.

Chen Xing stopped the vehicle suddenly, and the body and the doppelganger used force to turn the body sideways at the same time to block the spiky rain.

After a series of penetrating sounds, the off-road vehicle was pierced into a hedgehog, and Chen Xing's two doppelgangers were scratched by spikes and disappeared into star sand. The main body teleported behind a rock more than ten meters away before the spike rain arrived.

Only the Red Clay Antlion at or above the town guard level can launch a spike attack, and although it is very powerful, it cannot be used continuously. Chen Xing released the clone again, and the two clones ran to the off-road vehicle to pick up the dropped weapon, one left and one right, and then split their directions to shoot at the antlion.

This is the attack formation that Chen Xing thought of in combination with his own abilities, which he himself called the "triangular attack", which was attacked by the main body and two doppelgangers from three different directions, and could beat a single strong enemy around.

The advantages of the laterite antlion are its thick carapace and great strength, while the disadvantages are its low agility and slow movement. The Spike Raid is a big killing weapon for thin-armored targets, but once it is used, it will be very disadvantageous to deal with a nimble opponent like Chen Xing.

What's even worse is that its opponent adopted the strategy of attacking the east and the west, one escaping and two fighting, and he couldn't even touch the corners of his clothes.

"Da Da Da!" "Bang bang bang!"

The bullets filled with psionic energy repeatedly hit the joints, and finally broke and died, and the claws and hind limbs of the laterite antlion were knocked off, becoming an immovable "bread".

It hissed angrily, glowing red all over its body, and its body swelled and grew larger. Chen Xing secretly had a bad idea and retreated quickly. The red clay ant lion swelled several times larger, and suddenly with a muffled sound of "Peng", the body of the insect exploded, and the corpses and body fluids mixed with spikes whistled and shot in all directions, several times denser than the spike raid just now.

Chen Xing teleported three times in succession before avoiding it. The off-road vehicle was punctured into a cactus, and gasoline leaked everywhere, so Chen Xing picked up some useful things and switched to walking.

For him now, transportation is not necessary, he can ride a wolf, and the speed is faster than a jet locomotive in difficult terrain.

It's just that summoning the Imperial Spirit requires continuous consumption of spiritual energy, although his domain is an endless sea, and the spiritual energy reserves are abundant, but there will always be a time when it is exhausted, and it cannot be used at will.

The geography of the Grasse Hills is harsh, with stones and grayish-brown semi-polluted land. The vegetation here is sparse, and the radiation can only melt slowly over time. There's not much to eat here, so the deeper you go, the fewer mutated creatures there are.

On the second day of the walk, Chen Xing saw two displaced people near a pond of water.

The pond is a place where rainwater collects in the vicinity. It rarely rains in the Grasse hills, and the water that can survive must be in very deep pools, or pot-shaped pools, which have a large water storage capacity and a small area in contact with the air, and naturally evaporate slowly to preserve the water.

The skin of the two outcasts is copper-colored and shiny, and like Ajomu's, it is the main sign of the sandmen.

They looked at Chen Xing vigilantly, did not approach, nor did they leave.

Chen Xing stretched out his thumb and tail finger at the same time, which is a common gesture in the clay world, indicating "trade".
