Chapter Forty-Nine: Habitual Bandits

Fu Bin looked at the smoke and flames at the head of the city, and there was an urge to fight in his heart, but now it was time for dinner, so he went to have a meal with the two of them first, and the staple food was the specialty here, fried salamander.

Briquettes grabbed a salamander leg and said, "We suffered a lot from this creature in the simulator with your two girlfriends, and today I invite you to taste them too." ”

Match also introduced on the side: "The skin of salamanders is extremely rough and thick, which is also why they are not afraid of high temperatures, and their meat is also very tough, and they can only be eaten when they are fried and crispy, otherwise they can't bite it." ”

After listening to them, Fu Bin grabbed a piece of meat that he didn't know where, and took a bite, the taste was like eating compressed biscuits, but the taste was very thick, there was a feeling of choking, it was really a new taste experience, although it was not a superb delicacy, but it was definitely very distinctive, and it was worth tasting.

Another specialty here, the tanthroetha, the black plant that grows like nori in the cracks of the stones, can be used as a vegetable, which tastes a bit like seaweed, and is very delicious, and the two foods complement each other when eaten together.

This meal can indeed be regarded as an unprecedented taste experience, even Fu Bin, who doesn't care much about eating, feels that this trip is worthwhile. However, this "delicious" is also a fresh special experience, and if you eat this every day, you will definitely not be able to stand it.

Early the next morning, Fu Bin was going to go to the battlefield alone to take a look, the briquette and the match belonged to the Tianxin team, and it was not good to team up with others to go to the battlefield, and the briquette had just been resurrected for a few days, so he could only do some tasks with high safety in the past few days. He could only ask Fu Bin to be careful, and told him some about the current situation and precautions on this battlefield.

This battlefield is not as big as the Huifeng Jungle, there are only 60 strongholds, and at this stage, the strongholds controlled by our side are 17, and the resources are mainly hedron and minerals, as well as the endemic creatures here, and there are also important strategic resources that occasionally appear in rare cases - silicon-based creatures.

However, silicon-based life generally only occurs in the depths of lava lakes, and only experienced explorers have the ability to enter and exit, and it is also very dangerous, and in the early stage, there are many more explorers who accidentally hang up while exploring lava lakes than those who die in battle.

There are silicon-based creatures in the Flame Canyon, which Fu Bin knew before, but now he knows that the probability of them appearing here is also extremely small, with an average of more than ten per year, and most of the time they appear in the enemy's control area. Even from the beginning of the construction of Frontier Base 1 to the present, the number of times our camp has hunted silicon-based creatures is very small.

In other words, equipment like the Advanced Entropy Array, the equipping rate of the enemy camp is much higher, many Pioneers have Advanced Entropy Arrays, while even our explorers only have half a small Advanced Entropy Array, and most of them are probably captured from the enemy Pioneers who were killed.

The types of battlefield missions are similar to those of Base 3, but there are no completely safe missions here, and even if it's a patrol mission, you may encounter enemies. As a balance, the task here is also faster, it takes two or three days to escort the mission at Base 3, and it can be completed in almost half a day here, but the danger factor is also several times higher.

For the sake of insurance, Fu Bin asked the briquette to help store the high-level entropy array and the special sword hilt, and the "***" module chip made for practice gave the briquette. Then he changed into a black battle suit with a protective color effect here, and walked out of the front door of the castle with a normal entropy array.

There is a drop of about 500 meters between the base castle and the Flame Canyon at a distance of about 3 kilometers, and the slope of a riverbank into the canyon can barely be regarded as a strategic advantage for the defenders.

It's autumn, but the heat hasn't subsided, and with the heat emitted by the hot magma in the canyon, this is only the hottest place on the planet, and the Pioneers can only pick up some resources at the edge of the canyon, while the Pioneers can go deeper, but if you want to bring the team, almost half of the attention and entropy energy will be used as air conditioning for your teammates.

Therefore, this battlefield is mainly divided into two parts, the periphery is the combat power below the pioneers, the pioneers are mostly active in the inner layer, but they are dependent on each other, if the pioneers encounter a strong enemy or outnumbered, they will retreat to the rear team.

When the outside team encounters the enemy's strong man, the pioneers will also come back to help. This requires frequent communication, but fortunately, this battlefield is very close to the base, and the communication cost is much lower than that of Huifeng Jungle.

There are more scattered and lonely pioneers in the Flame Canyon than on other battlefields, and the terrain is open to sight, but the route is narrow, it is easy to have encounters, and it is not easy to break away from the battle, unlike the Huifeng Jungle, where you will not see anyone after running a few steps, so the battle is more fierce and cruel, and most of them will see life and death.

Fu Bin felt that his cultivation level had improved by leaps and bounds in the past two days, and he had learned new combat skills, so he really wanted to try his skills, anyway, he had deliberately left all the valuable things on his body at the base, so that he could go to the battle without any scruples. After a few battles in the jungle last time he returned to the peak, he found that he was really quite belligerent.

The number of people traveling between the castle and the canyon is much denser than that of Dragonspine Mountain, and at the entrance to the canyon, there is also a large stronghold such as the Gravel Ridge Fortress as a distribution center, which is crowded with thousands of people.

There are only a few dozen people stationed in the subsequent strongholds, but in Fu Bin's perception, there are no explorers in the several strongholds close to the base, probably because this battlefield is not as open as the Huifeng jungle, and it is impossible for the attacker to bypass the stronghold in front and invade the rear in a big way, so the defense of the stronghold in the rear can be looser.

An hour after setting off, Fu Bin saw the shiny stones on both sides of the lava cracks, as well as the black and inky anthracilla in the stone crevices, but Fu Bin was not in the mood to pick up these big road goods. Once here, you can't run as fast as you can, or you'll risk stepping into tiny lava crevasses, or crashing headlong into salamanders or lava swarms.

Salamander Fu Bin is too lazy to kill, there is no magic core in his body, he can only be counted as a quasi-entropy energy creature, and one head is only worth about two hundred contributions, and it is more troublesome to deal with.

The lava worm is very valuable, the quality of the magic core in its body is higher than that of the parasitic demon fungus, and it will gradually increase according to the year, and an adult worm has at least three or four magic cores.

It is said that there are dozens or hundreds of years old worms, and the number of demon cores in the body may reach more than a dozen, and the ability is close to that of explorers, which is very difficult to mess with, plus they have natural physical and geographical advantages, and it is difficult for explorers to hunt them.

Fu Bin was confident that he was already capable of dealing with one or two of these creatures, and he had thought they were scary on the simulator at the initial base, but in fact, the main reason was that they took advantage of the environment and the relationship of team cooperation.

However, after several years of sweeping this battlefield, the lava worms have also been bullied by humans to be much wiser, and they do not appear on the shore very often, and when they meet human pioneers, they will escape into the depths of the lava lake, so it is not easy to find and hunt them.

He looked at the map, and the green dot representing his stronghold only occupied one corner, about twenty strongholds, but at least the situation was much better than one-tenth of the Huifeng Jungle.

If you want to make a profit, you have to get close to the lava lake, where there are more and more valuable resources, but because of the fragmentation of those radial lava fissures, it is easy to get into the dead end road after approaching the lava lake, and the fastest way to move forward is to use some solidified but hot stones to cross the fissures, or even create a foothold from the lava where there is no foothold.

As the figure of his own camp becomes less and smaller, and the air gets hotter and hotter, he can judge that he is approaching the center of the canyon, and there are as many as 30,000 garrisons in Base 1, and there are at least nearly 20,000 people on the battlefield, but scattered into these thousands of square kilometers of canyon basin, it is still very rare. Walking here, Fu Bin finally saw something that interested him.

It was a piece of yellow fluorite bigger than a fist, and it looked like there were at least seven or eight units. Don't look at the shiny minerals that can be seen everywhere in this place, in fact, most of them are ordinary sulfide crystals or metal ores, which are not worth a few contribution points, and ordinary combat power may not be interested in picking them up, unless there is really nothing to gain.

However, the spar was set on a "small island" in the middle of a wide lava fissure, eight or nine meters from the shore, and it must have been that it was not picked up.

Fu Bin hesitated for a moment, and began to use the Entropy Transformation Skill, preparing to solidify part of the magma and create two footholds in the middle. With his current cultivation level, this would consume a small half of the entropy energy, but this spar is indeed quite tempting, it's a big deal to take a break on the side, anyway, this is a relatively safe area.

To create a foothold, it is almost necessary to consume half of Fu Bin's entropy energy, and after solidifying the second foothold, it must be trimmed. When the entropy energy recovered by half and Fu Bin was about to retreat and jump, he found that a person was rapidly approaching him from behind, he hurriedly jumped away and drew his sword in his hand at the same time.

But I immediately found that the person who came was wearing a black combat uniform, it should be someone from the side camp, and it was a woman, but she was wearing a mask on her face, she couldn't see her face clearly, and she didn't have the team insignia on her body.

Due to the strong and pungent smell of sulfur in the Flame Canyon, almost everyone wore masks, and so did Fu Bin himself, so as long as people who were not very familiar with each other met each other, it was difficult to recognize each other.

Fu Bin didn't realize what this person meant, but she ignored herself, rushed straight to the edge of the crack, and with the help of the two landing points that Fu Bin had just created, her body gracefully jumped two times in a row, and landed firmly on the boulder, and immediately cast a molten glow and began to dig the spar.

This made Fu Bin suddenly rush to the top of his head with a wave of anger, this woman is too shameless, he can't wait to give her an arrow of order immediately, but those who attack the same camp at will on the battlefield will be sanctioned, although there is a reason for it, but Fu Bin did not use a camera to record the process of creating two footholds before, so he can't prove that the other party grabbed his things.
