Chapter 126: Fight or Flee
Lowe's goal in trying to awaken his instincts wasn't to tempt them to devour any of the terrifying creatures like Ghost Leeches, and while their powerful electroshock ability to paralyze the Juggernaut was useful, Lo wasn't much interested in it.
His main battlefield in the future should be in this ice field, not the wilderness he once knew. Only killing on the ice field is meaningful, can you get what you need, and get enough "chips" to keep Yi awake.
Luo didn't know enough about this strange frozen plain, but he stubbornly believed that since this kind of "ghost ice leech" that appeared on the edge of the ice field and was not strong in individual strength could be discharged, then the vast majority of creatures on the ice field should have electric shock immunity a long time ago.
In any way, ghost ice leeches don't look like they exist on top of the ice field.
Just like the wilderness that Luo is very familiar with, it is precisely because of the existence of mutant wolves who are very good at running, most of the wilderness survival abilities have speed enhancement abilities, and it is precisely because of the existence of wilderness mob waves that can spread viruses and plagues that most of the wilderness abilities have the ability to be immune to toxins.
It is an adaptation, an adaptation after elimination, a natural selection with the participation of the will of the wilderness.
The Ghost Leech's electroshock ability might be a very useful ability in the wilderness. But this is an ice field, an ice field that seems to be no less brutal and bloody than the wilderness.
There is absolutely no doubt that the mutated creatures that can survive in the ice field where ghost ice leeches are ubiquitous until now should already have various skills to deal with "electric shocks".
Therefore, Luo is not optimistic about this ability, at least this ability does not provide enough help for Luo to survive better in the ice field.
Although Steven had some fear on his face when he talked about the Ghost Leech's electroshock ability, Lowe didn't think that Steven, who had become a master, would die because of this ability.
Like the people of the old days who were afraid of snakes, rats and even cockroaches, they knew that these things were not enough to deprive them of their right to live, but they were still afraid and tried to avoid contact with these things that daunted them.
Perhaps, after trying to be shocked once, Lowe's instinct will produce the ability to resist the shock in the first place, or without taking up any blank gene sequences.
But the process can never be pleasant, and it can even be a little cruel.
Luo was very jealous of this ghost ice leech, he was afraid of being branded by this creature that was almost all over the ice field, and he didn't want to expose his whereabouts to the eyes of any creature, or this kind of creature that had begun to show an unfriendly attitude.
His idea of awakening the ability was simple and urgent. He wants to make his instinct aware of the potential threat before the soldering iron arrives, and drive the instinct to tear open the web of memories shared by the entire race of ghost leeches, so that they can better hide in the darkness of the ice field.
Lowe loves the dark, and he's used to surround himself in the dark. In the wilderness, in this strange frozen tundr, he intended to do the same.
After all, instinct is far stronger than Luo's ontological consciousness when it comes to perceiving potential threats.
"Luo, as much as I would like to believe you, and am sure that you have never set foot in the depths of the ice field, you have also seen the grand welcome of these little creatures to your arrival, and their madness has forced me to ask again, do you really not have the Ice Spirit Stone on you? My partner. ”
Steven didn't care if the Zaric supply point would be destroyed, he cared about Lowe's safety, and being remembered by the ghost ice leeches was no joke.
If Zarik really suffered losses because of Lowe's arrival, Steven would definitely compensate Zarik. Of course, it's one thing to pay compensation, it's another thing to get used to it and even beat Zarik. The former is a matter of character, and the latter is a matter of mood.
But before compensating or taking the next step, he must first confirm one thing, that is, whether he has the kind of ice spirit stone that people love and hate on him, the rookie leader.
Steven's face was not as relaxed as his tone, which was enough to attract Lowe's attention.
Lowe could not care about Zarik's doubts, but he felt that he needed to at least tell his partner the truth.
"Steven, I can't answer your question right now. If I can stay alone in the tent for a while, then when I come out of the tent again, I will definitely give you a clear and satisfactory answer. ”
Lowe wasn't as sure if he had the kind of thing Steven asked about as he had at the beginning, and he even had a vague feeling that he might really have the Ice Spirit Stone on him. He needs to make sure and solve the embarrassing situation of this supply point being "under the city" by the way.
Lowe didn't do this for the sake of Zarik, whose delicate beard had allowed Lo to completely classify him into a category that could be sacrificed at any time. Luo just didn't want Steven, who had just broken away from the family's ice field forces, to compensate for Zarik's losses, and finally even had to pay the other party for the gun.
Steven didn't have the slightest doubt about Lowe's request to be alone for a while in this situation, and it wasn't surprising that everyone who had the ability to survive until now had secrets that they didn't want to be exposed to the eyes of others.
"Go, my dear Commander, and I will assure you with this gun on my shoulder that no one will disturb you until you step out of this tent, including the cute but not too friendly little ones."
After Lowe re-entered the tent, Steven glanced at the still-busy Zarik and his few followers, and finally walked over to the sack pile of wilderness gravel.
He stooped down and lifted a sack that had not been torn open and placed it in the doorway outside the tent, sat down on it, and then leaned his left eye, which was not covered by a black blindfold, into the muzzle of his shotgun.
Steven didn't have the slightest intention of helping Zarik, his only task now was to stay here, wait for Lowe to come out of the tent, and then tell him what to do next.
Do you choose to fight these ghost leeches to the end like Zarik, or choose to leave here and continue into the ice field that has always had a gloomy face.
Although neither approach ended up optimistic, Steven decided to follow Lowe's plan.
If you fight, he has this big enough gun, and if you escape, he has that locomotive that can run fast enough.
Whether to fight or to flee, all it takes is Luo's words.
