Chapter 23: Changes in Halftime (5)
Luo Ling remembers that when he was a child, he climbed the mountain, not worrying about how to go up the mountain, but how to go down the mountain. Like the almost vertical slope in front of you, there is no other way to hang the rope. In general, all Luo Ling needs to do is to appreciate how the kite can flicker and move while descending at high speed, or use its retractable sharp claws to smash into the rock mass like an ice axe, and get the instantaneous effect of slowing down and stagnating.
The fifth order is already the kind of person who can get off the plane at any time without the need for a stewardess to remind him of the existence of an umbrella bag, Luo Ling can be a free fall, and finally be able to bounce off the ground for a while, but Luo Ling prefers to be like this now, enjoying the fun of riding, and it feels more fun than a roller coaster. Of course, if the roller coaster derails, it might be more fun than that, at least for a moment.
"Wait!" Luo Ling, who was keenly observant, flashed his consciousness, and the front paws of the 'kite' that received the order were tightly clasped, and the 180-degree sideways swing behind him changed from running backwards with his head to climbing with his head rushing, and he stopped on the cliff. Luo Ling gently leaned, probed a rock with one hand and flicked it lightly, and threw himself down at the entrance of a cave.
The top of the entrance to the cave had a short brim-like protrusion, and it would not have been easy to see it as a bird's den had it not been for the thick branches of hay that extended from the bottom. And judging by the size of the entrance, it should be inhabited by a large one, such as a legendary manticore lion or a two-legged wyvern.
However, Luo Ling was unlucky, the nest was empty, there were neither big nor small ones, and there were no eggs.
Out of the hole and flew over to the 'kite', I saw that Bao Xi and they were carrying a single flying machine, and they had already flown away in a dashing manner, and Bao Xi waved his hand at him.
"Cut! What is the stinky fart? Flying like a target one by one...... "Luo Ling does not have superhuman flying skills like the demon baron Macinta, which makes him always feel that flying is not very reliable, and the two painful experiences in the early years, one was a glider escape and was chased by a helicopter, and the other was a delta wing escape and was hit by a sniper rifle on the ground, which almost killed him, and since then Luo Ling has rarely chosen to fly because of the cheapness of the road.
At the top of the mountain, Luo Ling had basically mastered the terrain of the surrounding hundreds of miles. If the direction in which the sun rises is east, then the north is the grassland, and the south is the forest. This place is the junction of grassland and forest, all the columnar mountains are divided into grasslands, as far as the eye can see, there are at least forty or fifty, with their existence, although the grassland still seems wide, but there is no kind of boundless feeling that you can drive with your eyes closed.
"Such a cliff peak, such a vast meadow, there should be a strong aerial hunter. But where are they? Luo Ling looked at the empty sky. This is not the once overcrowded city of Earth, not even a single bird or finch can be seen, it only means that there are powerful hunters in the air, this is their territory, and the cave just now also proves that the air hunters should exist. The sun has risen so high that shouldn't it soar in the sky, looking for prey on the ground with a sharp eye like an eagle's eye?
As a modern person, Luo Ling's concept of air superiority is still relatively clear, he has been trying to find some excellent air power for his system, but there is no good choice, he can't look down on the flight speed of birdmen such as flying winged demons and evil angels, and the flying dragon is too mediocre and meat consumption is really a big problem. It's best to have the kind of aerial monsters that devour rocks, absorb magic energy, or attack high speed or fight camels, don't want demons, monsters can be domesticated, demons are uncontrollable, if you have a whole group of demons, it won't take a while to estimate that even Mingyue likes to wear what color pants you like.
"If you look at another mountain, maybe the nest of birds on this mountain happened to visit relatives." Luo Ling didn't give up, and motioned for the 'kite' to move towards the nearest pillar peak from here.
The grass in the field is more than 1.5 high, not as dense as a corn field, but it is enough for a big living person to disappear completely when he walks out five meters away, Luo Ling identified these sorghum-like plants, there are no special attributes, those particles are actually waste dregs, worse than soil, without any nutrients, this plant is worthless. In addition, under this kind of long grass, there are some small grasses that do not like light, but the magic energy content is good, but it contains grass toxins, and herbivores with poor poison filtration ability cannot touch it, Luo Lingmian picked a few plants for difficulty, put them in the culture vessel, and prepared to go back to bring them to the poison ivy girls, enrich the plant species, and maybe improve the quality of the 'emergency needle'.
The soil quality here is worse than Luo Ling imagined, it is not the kind of fertile soil that was planted in the ancient earth period, but a typical wasteland with serious influence of magic energy, he sensed it at random, there are earthworm insects in the soil, dig it out and see, it is very ugly, and the temperament is extremely violent, it explodes at the sight of light, the internal organs and body fluids are splashed, and the sulfuric acid is general, wherever it falls, it sneers.
"Personality." Luo Ling, who was disgusted by the insects on the ground, continued to look around as he walked. "What about mosquitoes, flies, and other nasty guys?" The more he went, the more he wondered.
Don't look at the blue sky, white clouds, and grasslands in the film and television, in fact, the grassland will never be without mosquitoes, they are an important part of the ecological system, there are no insects that eat insects, and carnivores that do not eat insects can't live, the food chain exists everywhere, and the monsters are not immortals who can live by the aura of heaven and earth.
After walking for a while, Luo Ling saw a small beast, like a wild mouse, with two heads, hairless, the skin is transparent, and the internal organs flashed with green light with the breathing, which made people feel uncomfortable when they looked at it. Luo Ling didn't care, but he didn't do much effort, but he made up more than a hundred and a dozen tailgating, and tried to bite the 'kite'
A wave of holy light was released, turning it into flying ashes, and Luo Ling continued to move forward.
Wangshan broke his leg and rode a 'kite' for several kilometers, but he had already come to the bottom of another pillar peak, and he did not see a single flying insect, to be precise, not a single flying creature.
"Handsome! At least next time I do a plane transaction, I don't need to bring mosquito nets, wind oil essence, or something. ”
Then there is that kind of wild mouse-like creature, a few cheap ruffians, which one is called, and they will be pumped to death, within a radius of how many meters, the wind and waves will be calm, otherwise they will gather more and more, and attack them in groups.
"Consider bringing rodenticide, it's annoying."
Mountain! Disgusted with the difficulty of the 'kite' going up and down, Luo Ling simply let it rest at the bottom of the mountain, climbed the mountain by himself, and ran up in a spiral, at a fast speed, which was more energetic than the kind of motorcycle in the iron cage.
The nest is not hard to find, just one, and there are no creatures either.
Luo Ling didn't give up, and found the third pillar peak. It was finally determined that each Shizhu Peak had a nest, and the territorial division was very clear, but none of them were at home, and it was obvious that the survival habits of these birds could not be measured by what he knew.
Time is relatively abundant, Luo Ling is not in a hurry, he decided to stay around here for a while to confirm what kind of creatures live on the cliffs of those Stone Pillar Peaks.
Riding the 'kite' and continuing north, the 'kite' let go and ran, extremely fast, and then Luo Ling discovered the annoyance of those weeds. Those long grasses are whipped on the body, even if the outer layer of the body is protected by a faint holy light, the dregs in the grass grains can still be smoothly pasted all over the body, these dregs are like dry sponges, as long as they stick to the object, they can absorb energy, and when they are full, they become and the soil, falling in a row, and after careful calculation, because of the lot, it is also very energy-consuming. In other words, in this seemingly harmless and vast field, there is actually a speed limit, the faster you run, the faster you consume, and it is very dirty, and Luo Ling and the 'kite' look like mud monkeys from afar, and they also exude an unusually pungent smell. The stench attracted a large number of wild rats to pounce on them, which was very disturbing.
In the end, Luo Ling gave the 'kite' a brief bath, took it back to the spatial ring, and decided to walk on his own two legs, protected by the holy light, at least he could remove the layer of hidden shell at any time.
As the sun rose higher and higher, Luo Ling identified and collected two more plants, and began to head towards the big river to the northeast.
The river was very conspicuous, and there was no idea what was flying around, reflecting the sunlight, and from a distance, it looked like a diamond dust ribbon floating in the air, which was very magnificent and conspicuous. Luo Ling wanted to take a closer look and see if he could make any new discoveries by the way. If he could, he would like to take a shower or something. This body is flesh, with all the characteristics of a normal person, and although the Holy Light can be cleaned, he is still accustomed to water.
When I got closer, I saw that there were reed-like plants growing on both sides of the river, and those that were flying were the seeds of this plant, like a pampas stick, and when the wind blew, the silk fluttered, and the silk was like a glass filament, and it was they who reflected the sun.
In addition, Luo Ling finally knew why there were no mosquitoes in the field. It's all here, it's a reed-like plant, with a bloodshot red translucent substance secreted on its leaves, which looks like a syrupy sticky, and it's densely crawled with insects, and all kinds of bugs.
"It seems that this planting of hematopoietic plasma is very replenishing, and I love any bug!"
With such a characteristic plant, Luo Ling naturally will not let it go, together with the soil, water, fully grown plants and seedlings, the whole set, all packaged. In the process, he found that the more rotten the bones beneath the decay, the better the plant would grow, and then look at the blood-like slime, it felt a little bit like that.
Luo Ling's movements alarmed the flying insects, and suddenly there were as many as 10,000 of several species rushing towards him, and the black pressure was like a black wind.
A half-foot diameter sand-like whirlwind of holy light appeared on the periphery of Luo Ling's body, this was his holy sand realm, which had just been born and was fully activated, with a radius of only 3 meters.
Different from ordinary holy light, holy sand is a crystalline embodiment of holy light, if you don't touch it, whether you look at it or perceive it, it will feel like transparent and shiny sand, and without the holy light is used to that holy and holy aura, which is very deceptive, so that the flying insects rushed into it without hesitation, and all of them turned into soot.
Luo Ling thought that the Holy Sand Whirlwind would be a meat grinder, constantly devouring flying insects that were blindly attacking, but soon, he realized that he was wrong. After two batches of deaths, the flying insects never came up again to die. Instead, they continue to other places and lick their honey. Moreover, no matter where Luo Ling went, the flying insects would get out of the way with a bang, but they would not attack him, and used him as air.
"It's weird! Is there some kind of brand seriousness that I don't know about? Didn't feel any marker spells or energy or matter contamination? How do you know for sure that little things with big brains? ”
Luo Ling is not a good biologist, and to be honest, he doesn't have a good impression of these generally large and ugly bugs, although he is puzzled and does not delve into them. With the arrival of noon, the sun's rays are more abundant, and the gentle flow of the river begins to reflect the sunlight like a mirror, coupled with the silk wool floating in the air, which suddenly makes people feel dazzling in the kaleidoscope of strong light.
"Sure enough, it has the characteristics of hell, it looks like the sky is blue and the grass is green, harmonious and beautiful, but in fact, there are dangers hidden everywhere, just this light, let alone ordinary people, professionals below the second order can not withstand it. Also, is the water really clear? How can it suddenly have a mercury-like effect? ”
With such a question, Luo Ling took out a holy crystal staff, this staff was like a spear, without any modification, the whole body was crystal clear, slightly purple in color, and the top was a cone-shaped dark purple crystal, surrounded by holy light. This staff is not a high-grade magic channel, but the Saint Crystal at the top is extremely precious, with it, most of the artifact techniques of the crystal civilization of the Kanid people can be operated or cast benignly. If the Kanid people had such a crystal, even if they were bare-handed, they could use it to create a village or even a town in a short period of time.
Mingyue and Murong have worked the knowledge of the Holy Crystal Crystal, and under its influence, Luo Ling has also been able to use a lot of spells from the Kanids, and Mingyue has edited a 1.0 version. This is a spell book of spells and techniques, recording a lot of relatively complex spells, Luo Ling took a copy, with him, his level of spells and techniques has risen to a new level.
With words in his mouth, the Holy Crystal Staff was a little, and a smooth rock by the river floated up, pop! With a soft sound, it dispersed into countless fragments, and then the spots of light of the holy light converged from all directions, mixing with these fragments, and it was not a lot of effort, and a multi-edged, palm-sized and unusually smooth bottom of the blunt cone crystal was born.
It's also a magic guide. It's called a light mirror, and it's used to probe. Aim the blunt cone at the surface of the water, after casting the spell, a holy light shoots into the water, and the smooth side becomes the emitting port of light projection, which can project a three-dimensional picture composed of purple light that cannot be darkened in the air, and clearly reflect the situation in the river, whether it is the observation area, or far away and close to pull, it can be adjusted, and it can also be tracked and carefully observed for a certain thing, which is very convenient.
I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, before, Luo Ling thought that the edge of this big river was poor because of its poor circulation and the rotting corpses below, but he was wrong, there was that kind of reed-like plant roots filtered, compared with the water in the center of the river, the water quality was considered to be the best. The water in the center is not only polluted, but also the larvae of countless flying insects are active in the center, and the reason why it can reflect sunlight like a mirror is because of the effect of a dense layer of water insects floating up to absorb sunlight and forming a layer of mercury. The water quality of the stinky ponds of rainwater on earth is also stronger than that of this great river.
In addition, there are fish that eat mosquito larvae, strange fish that eat fish, and big strange fish that eat strange fish. Call up the picture to zoom in and take a closer look, and the appearance is more hideous than the other.
Luo Ling used the Holy Crystal Staff to order a slender impurity spar harpoon, more than six meters long, sneer! He forked out a fish from the water to eat fish, glanced at the body color that seemed to have overturned the palette and the appearance that was uglier than the deep-sea fish of the earth, and shook his head, "Who still has the appetite to look at it with such a serious radiation?" ”
After walking downstream along the river for a while, Luo Ling tried to find a few beasts that had come to drink water to see if they could get into his 'magic eye' so that they could fill his stomach. But he failed, and no beast patronized this dazzling river of sewage, no matter how big or small, there was not a single one.
Looking across the river, the same wilderness, the same stone pillars, the same emptiness but countless lives are hidden. The breeze blew, and there was no floral scent, no earthy scent, but a corpse-smelling smell, light and persistent.
Luo Ling suddenly wanted to find the demon hunter who said that this place was suitable for vacation, and ask him how he felt now. He didn't know if other people were like him to see the true face of this world beneath the flowery exterior as if everything was rotting and deteriorating, he only knew that only a few hours later, he had already regretted setting a hundred and ninety-six days to return, this world, maybe a long, long time ago, was a beautiful place, but after being pulled into the abyss, everything has changed, the egg yolk is not the yolk, the egg white is not the egg white, but the stinky soup.
"Well, now confirmed, if you don't want to suffer from anorexia for the rest of your life, it's best not to touch any plants or animals here. But the Holy Light can't be eaten, and there is only a packet of licorice candy left on hand, which won't last long. Let's find a way to solve the stomach problem first, and then talk about other things. ”
After making up his mind, Luo Ling began to look through the Kanids and the ox fork, there was a holy light crystal, the bread was there, the house was there, and the weapons were all there, to see if there was a solution to the problem in this book.
"Well, auxiliary techniques, auxiliary techniques, well, there really are. It's a pity that there is no advanced application. Luo Ling set aside, rummaged through his 100-cubic-meter spatial ring, and took out an old rucksack. He said to himself, "I hope my level is lost." ”
This rucksack Luo Ling called the 'Treasure Bag', which had accompanied him for many years and contained the necessary items for survival that had been selected through countless practices. In the past escape journey and even after awakening, Luo Ling has always maintained a habit, that is, every time he has a chance to rest, he will check this rucksack as soon as possible and replace or replenish it. Until he was able to enter and exit the space treasure box freely, the number of times this rucksack was prepared became less and less.
"Potatoes, wheat seeds, corn, soybeans, carrots, ! Very good! good! There is food and vegetables, and the food problem is solved. Simple purification technology of sodium chloride and production of salt...... Well, yes, this was originally prepared for the long-term survival of an uninhabited desert island, and now it is in use. ”
Packing up and chewing a licorice candy, Luo Ling crossed the river and continued north, he was going to find a place like a valley, and then start working as a holy light farmer for a few days.
After walking about 130 kilometers, the terrain has changed significantly, and the stone pillar peak can no longer be seen in front of you. Rather, it is a series of lofty mountains. The mountains are sparsely wooded, rocky and in some cases full of thorny dwarf shrubs and drought-tolerant lichen weeds. Luo Ling didn't go directly into the mountain, he wanted to see what was living in the cave on the cliff of Shizhu Peak.
When the afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the earth in a golden light, the birds that Luo Lingzu had been waiting for all day finally returned home.
The result was much beyond Luo Ling's expectations, it turned out to be a group of crabs.
If it was the same as before, someone told Luo Ling that crabs could fly in the sky, and Luo Ling would kick them into the ditch without hesitation. But it's true, crabs can really fly in the sky, at least here.
The monster that Luo Ling saw looked very similar to the stone crab. The appearance of the stone crab is earthy yellow, earthy brown, brown and yellow mixed and natural excessive, body shape, limbs, chela are regular, the biggest feature is that the limb shell is very astringent, with a lot of granular, ding-shaped protrusions, like a sticky paper is stained with sand grains, the same is true of this monster, if it climbs to the cliff, it is easy to miss it from a distance.
According to Luo Ling's vision, this stone crab-like monster is an adult, the widest width of the back shell can be twelve meters, and the length from head to tail is more than seven meters, a pair of large chela is not particularly full, but it looks very powerful, the upper limbs of the chela are relatively thick, and the connection point with the body is protected by a movable lower carapace, which is not found in crabs.
In the center of the monster's abdomen, there was a round shell that emitted magic light, as if a light was installed in the frosted glass, and Luo Ling guessed that the monster's huge body could float freely because of this special organ.
"Stone Crab Demon!" Luo Ling went to such a name based on its characteristics.
The speed of the stone crab demon seems to be slow and fast, and it is very arbitrary, the two hind limbs are like rudders, and the six side limbs are like oars, the rudder swings, the oars move, and the sky seems to be its sea. In particular, the flying group formed is like a large bomber group, overwhelming and extremely powerful. When they arrived home, they showed good aerial hovering ability and superb climbing skills, and Luo Ling saw a brilliant ripple in his eyes.
"It seems that the load capacity is very good, but I don't know what to eat, what the combat effectiveness is, it is worth observing." Luo Ling pondered, when he was ready, he would follow these stone crab demons to see how they were eating and fighting, hoping that these 'flying fortresses' could give him some more surprises.
