Chapter Ninety-One: The Giant Armor
This night, Fu Bin had only practiced for two hours, slept for two hours, and before dawn, the six of them packed up and hurried. Fu Bin looked in the direction of Gofan's camp, but he didn't see the campfire, thinking that he had already left, and in order to avoid their team, he could only deviate slightly from the original route.
There aren't many creatures encountered along the way, but they're getting more and more dangerous, and most of the creatures here are highly venomous bugs or reptiles, and the farther you get from the base, the bigger they get. The ghost spiders encountered three times a day, but fortunately, there were not many of them, so they didn't dare to come up and entangle.
On the way, everyone hunted a few reptilian creatures that were not fast, as three meals for six people, and only after eating the rest were they positioned for the drone to pull away, so they didn't earn a hundred points in total.
The silence of Ge Fan and the others made Fu Bin faintly uneasy, so everyone sped up. Emperor Yan's strength has almost recovered, there is no problem with combat effectiveness, and Ye Wumeng's character is actually very strong, although the cultivation level is not high, but the physical foundation is not bad, with the help of others, she can barely keep up with no weight.
So on this day, after running more than 100 kilometers, when it was almost dark, the team finally walked out of the annoying sand-raising desert, and an endless grassland appeared in front of them.
The crimson afterglow of the sunset illuminates this rolling grassland, and together with the various flowers, it makes this grassland look like a huge and soft dazzling blanket, making people feel the urge to lie down and roll.
This is the favorite hunting place for the people of Base A-Giant Worm Grassland, because it is only three days away from the base, not far away, there are few extreme environments and climates, and the creatures are simply inexhaustible.
As soon as he saw the grassland, the originally exhausted Ye Wumeng first let out a cheerful shout, and then, as if he had been stimulant, he reversed his malaise just now, and jumped and sang on the grass.
Emperor Yan said solemnly: "Stop singing!" Be careful to lure other teams over. If you're caught by those perverted uncles, I'm not going to save you. ”
Ye Wumeng was interrupted from singing, and said unhappily: "Hmph, I still want you to save me!" Do you mean the team of bad guys? We must have deviated more than 10 kilometers from them by now, how could they have heard. ”
Emperor Yan sneered and said, "What do you know! The Giant Worm Prairie is a hunting paradise, but it's not just people from our base who come here, especially in the spring. ”
"You're saying you'll meet people from other bases here?" Ye Wumeng said unconvinced: "So what, do we have to be afraid of them? ”
"Do you really think we're invincible?"
"Hmph, in that case, you're pretty self-aware."
When the two little children kept arguing, there was a tremor from the ground under their feet, Fu Bin was taken aback, and said, "Hey, is there another earthquake?" ”
"It's not!" Fengyu Sheng shook his head and said: "This vibration is very regular, it should be the giant armor beast herd coming." ”
As his words fell, behind a gentle slope in the distance, a giant beast appeared, about 2.5 meters tall and at least seven or eight meters long, like a large truck.
It had six legs, its whole body was covered with heavy armor like steel plates, two antenna-like tentacles on its head swayed in the wind, and a pair of huge compound eyes that were high and bulging and reflected the dazzling sunlight, but the most frightening thing was the harvester-like mouthparts, because as it closed one by one, patches of tender green grass were swept into it, and if people were there, it would definitely not end well.
In short, this beast is an insect! A Coleopteran beetle larger than an elephant. Then the second, and then the third...... A total of twenty-four Giants paced slowly, the earth rumbling with a dull rumbling sound with their neat footsteps.
Seeing Fu Bin's vigilant eyes, Emperor Yan showed a hint of pride on his face, but he pretended to be dreamless about the night and said: "Don't be afraid, this creature is herbivorous, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke it, it won't pay attention to us." ”
Shi Fa interjected: "That's great, how many contribution points do you have to kill one!" ”
"Don't!" Fengyusheng hurriedly said: "The carapace on their bodies is very hard, our attacks can hardly hurt them, and there is nothing important on them, even if they can break through their carapace, it is difficult to kill them with one blow." And once they are attacked, they will rise up in groups and fight back, such a large group, when they are angry, they trample us into mud, if there is a lonely, maybe we can slowly grind to death, but they are always group activities. ”
Fu Bin said: "To put it this way, they can't be hunted? "Looking at the shiny and reflective insect beetle, it is difficult for the arrow of order to penetrate, after all, the blade of the entropy weapon is actually just an energy condensation similar to a high-energy laser.
Fengyu Sheng shook his head: "Maybe the battle skills above level four can kill them." Anyway, so far, I haven't heard of anyone in the base hunting this creature, only the shell left by their own death or molting has been picked up, and whether they die or molt, the value will be greatly reduced, except for the shell, there is no meat in it. However, just one set of carapace is worth thousands of contribution points. ”
The mermaid also said: "I have also been here once, and the shell left by the giant armored beast usually becomes the nest of other creatures, so it is not so easy to collect it." ”
Ye Wumeng said: "Then we can kill their larvae, the larvae should not have carapaces, right?" ”
Emperor Yan spoke again: "The larvae do not have carapaces, but they live in the feces of adults. ”
When Ye Wumeng almost vomited, Emperor Yan said again: "Those feces are not a pile or two, but like a big pond, with all kinds of large and small insects circling around the side, are you willing to go into such a place?" ”
"Ah......" Ye Wumeng was rarely speechless, only a look of disgust remained.
Emperor Yan made up again: "Anyway, we will definitely encounter the giant armored beast manure tank, and it will open your eyes when the time comes." ”
Shi Fa sighed and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, I didn't play too much yesterday, and I still want to try my skills." ”
Fu Bin couldn't help but say: "I said Brother Shi, you were a monk in your last life, why do you think about killing all day long?" ”
"Wonderful! Isn't this a virtual world? I can't kill people, these creatures are just data, what can't I kill? I was bored in my previous life, so I also played online games. ”
"That's not right!" Wind and rain life interjected again: "Old monk, you are wrong. The creatures of this world are actually no different from the creatures of the real world, they not only have consciousness and feelings, but they are also gone when they die. On the contrary, we are the ones whose consciousness will not disappear because of physical death, and dying once is just a change of carrier, so you can kill, but you can't kill. ”
Shi Fa didn't expect this to happen, and he groaned for half a day before saying: "It seems that I haven't given up completely enough, and since I hold a butcher's knife, I should kill the Tao." Well, I'll learn from Lu Zhishen in the future. ”
Fu Bin smiled: "I said, why do you have to put things on yourself, anyway, this world is different, you can do whatever you want, what do you care about so much?" Otherwise, you'll have to make excuses for yourself later. ”
Shi Fa smiled, and suddenly said: "Brother Bing is still thorough!" ”
As he spoke, the sky grew dark, and the group of giant armored beasts had disappeared from sight again, but the tremor of the earth could still be felt slightly. As the night deepened, countless insect-chirping sounded all around, high-pitched, clear, low, gushing, intermittent, and sudden, intertwined into a long symphony.
It is dangerous to walk on this grassland at night, so I had to camp early today. However, after the experience of the first two days, everyone knows that the night is not a peaceful passage of the day, on the contrary, it represents the arrival of the most tense period of the day.
Although it is hard to travel during the day, the danger is clear at a glance, unlike at night, when you have to be afraid in the face of a lot of unknowns, and this situation gradually intensifies with the distance from the base.
In the first half of the night before the moon had risen, darkness covered almost everything. The grassland is very humid, and the hay and animal manure that he picks up can't be burned, unless Fu Bin keeps using entropy, which is of course unwise. Luckily, the mermaid brought a bottle of accelerant, which can make the damp dead grass burn, but the smoke will be a bit loud.
However, the purpose of lighting a fire in this grassland is different from the past, because most of the creatures here are insects, and insects like to chase light, so the fire will not only not drive away the creatures, but will attract many creatures to come.
However, it may be on the edge of the grassland, and only a few small creatures can be attracted in two hours, and there are even fewer people who can eat inside, so it is only enough for six people to stuff their teeth.
Although it was still early, after a day of running wildly, everyone was very tired, and they directly began to take turns to rest, but they felt that it was not safe for two people to be on duty at night here, and six people could only be divided into two batches. Although Ye Wumeng was very tired during the day, he was determined to rest in the second half of the night, and Fu Bin and Yan Huang were also on guard in the first half of the night.
Although they have been together for three days, there is still a slight embarrassment between Fu Bin and Emperor Yan, the two don't talk much, and Ye Wumeng only pesters Fu Bin to ask this and that, and he doesn't pay much attention to Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan could only get up and go around alone, and when he came back, he dragged a big snake that had been chopped off and threw it next to the fire, startling Ye Wumeng.
"What are you doing! Why don't you report it first? ”
Emperor Yan immediately sneered at each other: "If you have the ability, don't eat the snake meat I roast." ”
Snakes are also considered to be the most similar species on Earth in the Second World, with little difference except for their generally larger size. This is a poisonous snake more than two meters long, which should be enough for everyone in the team to eat. Everyone hadn't eaten much just now, and the insects weren't very appetizing, so snake meat was at least more acceptable.
