Chapter 306: Challenging the Hive
This zoo is even bigger than expected, in the animal park, there are 37 kinds of mutated beasts in captivity, in addition to monkey people, there are also rock monitor lizards, red sun tigers, thunder light lone rhinos and other fierce beasts.
And as the treasure of the town garden here, it is an earthly dragon that has stepped into the silver level.
Compared to the earthy yellow body of the bronze rank, this earth-walking dragon stood up for a full four meters, its body was silvery-white, and its leather armor was like it was made of platinum, shining with dazzling brilliance, especially the claws on its limbs, which were destructive and hard steel, which could be cracked with just a slight wave.
Because of this, it was placed in a huge cylindrical cage ten meters deep, and in the sky above, it was also sealed by the enchantment master, and it was impossible to escape.
People are lying around, looking down, how ironic, the fierce earth dragon outside, here, is just a lizard for others to see, unwilling and helpless.
And this is just a corner of the zoo.
In the entire zoo, in addition to the zoo, there is another feature, that is, the worm nest.
As the name suggests, it is no longer a giant beast that is imprisoned, but a group of terrifying-looking bugs with a fishy smell.
Bugger.
In people's previous images, it was nothing more than a group of lowly beings who could be trampled to death at will.
But with the energy in the air and the dimensional wall, the insect has mutated, not only has its reproductive ability been strengthened, but even its size and strength have also undergone strange changes.
In the wild, with their terrifying fecundity and their own strength, they have given humans a nightmarish experience, and many of these people present have been killed and devoured by insects.
And here it is.
Bugs have become ornamental, and even in order to increase interactivity, some brave ordinary people can even change into some simple equipment and weapons, enter the [Worm Hive], and fight with the bugs.
Next to the [Worm Hive], there is a long mahogany table with some things on it, which are all rewards for clearing the level after killing the bugs.
From cold weapons to hot weapons, there are even some insect meat, food, and in addition to this, there are some shiny stones at the forefront.
Fluorescent.
Although it is a very cliché name, it still can't resist people's love for it.
This is a souvenir brought back from an unfamiliar plane, a mysterious ore that absorbs heat energy in the sun during the day and keeps a faint light at night, as if it has a charging function, and people can't help but sigh at the wonder of nature.
Possession of such a stone is a sign that people will have the right to light in the darkness.
Due to the quantity, fluorescent stone cannot be popularized, and ordinary survivors cannot obtain it at all, except for some high-ranking people or personnel who have made special contributions to the camp.
But who would have thought that just next to the [Worm Hive], there were several carved fluorescent stones, which were carved by professional craftsmen, the size of eggs, with a smooth appearance, and were placed there like precious gems.
Jewel.
This may be an accessory that all women can't refuse.
Li Siqi was no exception, with a pair of big eyes, staring at the fluorescent stone, revealing a look of longing.
In nature, when a male courtes a female, he will always use a special way to attract the attention of the other party, and this may be an instinct.
It's like a hunting dog now, this man who relies on his sense of smell, doesn't know how many dangers he has avoided, and even jokes with his companions, and will never let danger come close to him, now his brain is hot, and he actually strides out.
He's going to take part in the challenge.
Give the girl you love and win the spoils of war on the table.
A strengthened blade and a worm armor are the equipment he uses to fight.
The hound stood in an oversized iron cage, surrounded by curious survivors, all with their heads stretched out as if looking inside.
Breathing is somewhat heavier.
Although the Hound is a fighter of the search group, when he participated in the war in the past, he always had several companions by his side, and the collective strength greatly increased the safety of each other.
And like now, fighting alone, it was the first time for him, and it was false to say that he was not nervous, but when he swept outside with his afterglow, when he saw a girl with a clenched fist and a worried look on her face, the fear in his heart seemed to be suppressed by something, and even his back couldn't help but become straight.
A master of ceremonies stood up, smiled and said to the hound: "You are really a brave person, let me explain, the requirement for victory is to successfully kill the bugs, and if you are defeated halfway, you can also raise your hand to signal, we will kill the bugs, but in doing so, you will judge the failure of the challenge, there will be no reward, do you know the rules?" ”
"Clear." The hound took a deep breath.
"Okay, I wish you victory."
"Then next." The master of ceremonies looked at the crowd around him, and said word by word: "The insect that this warrior challenged is a ...... Corpse spotted beetle. ”
"Sosuo."
Not far away, an iron fence opened, and a huge beetle crawled in front of them, even if they mutated, they still retained some instincts, disgusted with the day, for them, night, is the time for real hunting.
The speed of the corpse beetle is very fast, unlike the familiar beetle, it is larger, the tooth is sharper, even from a distance, the hound still clearly feels the ferocity of the other party.
And for the corpse beetle, the boy in front of him is simply delicious food, the reason why it has not taken the initiative to attack, is not that it does not dare to start, but it has not reached the time for real hunting, perhaps, it is thinking about something, and then find a suitable opportunity to take the opportunity to do it.
"Corpse beetles, social creatures, fangs and insect touches are their weapons, their advantage is agility, their sense of smell is sharp, their weakness is anything bright, because of the peculiarity of the environment, their eyes have been mutated, in the dark, their vision is normal, but in the daytime, they are like a blind man, they can only vaguely see the figure of the enemy."
The master of ceremonies' voice sounded on the side, and he even had a smile on his face, which was not affected at all because of the appearance of this monster.
The battle begins.
The hound's dark eyes were staring straight ahead, and his bladed arm was getting harder and harder, a sign of concentration to the extreme.
In the Economic Development Zone, as long as you are a soldier in office, the first thing you have to do is not physical training and weapon mastery, but to memorize all the monster encyclopedias compiled by the upper level.
All known monsters are recorded on it, from the name, weakness, and habits to mark one by one, and each group of fighters will be drawn every week, and those who fail three times in a row will be deprived of the identity of the warrior and will never be entered.
As a squad leader, the hound has long remembered this information.
Soon, the information belonging to the corpse beetle appeared in his memory, although its speed is very strong, but the attack power is not significant, and the IQ is low, it is completely a live target, and it is not a worry under normal circumstances, but in front of him, he will face such an adult monster alone, and there will be some pressure.
"Woohoo......"
Just when the hound was in turmoil, the sound of rubbing the ground was already heard!
Not far away, a concussive sound was heard in an instant, and at this fast frequency, the surrounding air seemed to be thin, and a fishy smell came from it.
The hound raised its head, its pupils constricted, and the pores all over its body were dilated!
"It's coming!"
"Hiss ......"
The corpse beetle looked at the prey in front of it, and its compound eyes were full of madness, as a strange beetle, it had violent blood flowing in its bones, especially during a period of captivity, its consciousness was even more crazy and violent, and at this time, the huge body turned into a large cloud of shadows and covered it! Rushing in the direction of the hound, the whole ground seemed to be trembling slightly, and it was amazing to see the power!
The hound didn't make any movement, as if he was frightened, and stood still.
The surrounding crowd let out an exclamation, the timid women even covered their eyes, and even the master of ceremonies on the side was solemn, waving their hands, and several staff members aimed at the corpse spotted beetle, and when they gave the order, they would shoot.
"Yes!"
"You can!"
The hounds are not scared silly, but are waiting for an opportunity.
He knew all the habits of this monster by heart, and the corpse beetle was agile, and he rashly left his back to the other party, only to be attacked senselessly.
Rather than be so passive, it is better to take the initiative to attack.
At this time, a worm face to face, the distance was only a few tens of centimeters, and the hound could even smell the heavy fishy smell of the corpse spotted beetle mixed with the breath of plasma, just at this moment of despair, the hound suddenly collapsed his arms, squatted down with both legs, and then got up, and stabbed the dagger in the left eye of the corpse beetle full of ruthlessness and excitement with lightning speed!
And with the help of this violent inertia, he leaned back sharply, "Touch!" His back fell heavily on the ground, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, which must have been a bad one.
If it is an ordinary human being, and suddenly realizes that there is no light, and there is a sharp pain in the eyes, the first instinctive reaction is, of course, to cover the wound with both hands, and if there is something in the hand, it will naturally be desperate to let go.
But this kind of thing happened to the corpse beetle, but it didn't think so, as a monster, its body functions have long been changed, not to mention, its purpose is now very clear, that is, to kill the hound, no matter what.
The stabbing in its left eye did not stop the corpse beetle, but instead became more and more frenzied, and continued to attack, swinging its blade-like forelimbs towards the top of the hound's head.
Knowing that he was dead, how could the hound sit still and wait for death, and the moment he landed, he gritted his teeth and got up, and he didn't even have time to wipe the blood stains on the side of his mouth, and ran over the side of the corpse beetle.
And that's not all.
The hound was completely immersed in the battle, stopped with a sudden brake, took a deep breath, did not avoid the counterattack, kicked on his hind feet, suddenly leaned back and made a piercing motion, and unbiased slashed the blade on the insect touch of the corpse spotted beetle.
The endurance and strength of the corpse beetle are not significant, even if it has agile speed, but, when it has not evolved into the ranks of alien insects, the joints of its legs are still weak, this is not over, after the dagger pierced the joints of the corpse beetle, the hound shook its arms wildly, directly making the joints of the corpse beetle sharp, and green blood flowed out from the section of the wound.
"Die!"
At this time, how could the hound give up such a good opportunity, jumped high, and the blade was inserted, directly slashing at the head of the corpse spotted beetle, and suddenly, a stream of plasma sprayed out, and the mutant beetle died on the ground.
Momentarily stunned.
The hound only felt exhausted at this time, which was even more tiring than the tide of fishing, but he gritted his teeth and tried to stand still.
He had killed the corpse beetle, had been given the chance to pick the loot, and he had to deliver the fluorescent stone to the girl, and he held on despite the shaky staggering.
It wasn't until the master of ceremonies announced that he had won the victory, that the hound found himself sweating on his back, and that he had obtained the coveted booty, and the girl, first complaining about his recklessness, and then worrying about his own injuries, accepted the heavy gift.
Listening to the girl's complaining inquiry, the hound grinned, although until now, the abrasions on his back still hurt and people couldn't help but scold his mother.
But as long as the other party likes it, it's all worth it.
At this moment, the master of ceremonies spoke again: "This warrior has successfully challenged, so next, is there anyone else who wants to continue to participate in the challenge?" ”
There was a sound of ear fighting.
Hell, what the hell is this hive for? Inside the cage are real mutant bugs, and if you bite it, you may even have an arm bitten off.
But...... The insect just now looked very weak, and it looked coaxing, but after a few knives, it fell into a pool of blood, motionless.
It's just a free giveaway!
The hound and the girl walked away, but the other survivors were still standing in place, and when they saw that the other party had taken away the fluorescent stone that could be exchanged for twenty catties of insect meat on the black market like this, some strong men who were five big and three thick finally couldn't hold back the throbbing in their hearts and signed up to participate in the challenge.
For a while, the nightmare in the memory of ordinary people suddenly became the object of slaughter.
Mutant bugs?
Hehe.
But that's it!
