Chapter 49: The Mutant Fruit
"Where are you from?" After Lin Yue and the others joined the team of Qingzhao and others, Lin Shaota kept circling around Lin Yue and the others, and kept asking: "Where were you from before the crossing, S City?" J City? Or the city of N? ”
Lin Yue and Meng Wen were obviously not very interested in Lin Shaota's various noises, but Zhao Longtao seemed to be able to vote with him and answered with him. "We are from J City, and we came over from that mountain, and I heard that Yancheng was summoning people in distress, so we rushed over, but I didn't expect them to need offensive materials!"
"yes, that's kind of annoying." Lin Shaota obviously empathized: "When I heard that Yancheng was summoning the victims, I still wondered why they were so kind. However, this is also quite reasonable, if they did accept the refugees unconditionally, it would have become a refugee area long ago, and it is more likely to collapse long ago. ”
Zhao Longtao also agreed with Lin Shaota's statement, so the two of them talked more happily. Lin Yue and Meng Wen on the side were looking at the team.
There are only about 130 people left in this team, and they are divided into three groups. Qing Zhao led a group, Lin Shaota led a group, and there was also a more mysterious man with a group.
"My name is Zhou Yaoyi, and I have been cultivating in the Taoist Temple since I was a child, you can also call me Shan Qingzi!" This is what he said when he introduced himself to Lin Yue.
Yama Kiyoko is also proficient in medicine and knows a lot of herbs. Although most of the plants in the New World are somewhat different from the earth, the pharmacology is the same, and Yama Kiyoko studied those plants by herself and found many types of herbs from them.
The people who were injured after this team attacked the beast were all treated by Yama Kiyoko. And Shan Qingzi himself is extremely good, at least in Lin Yue's opinion, he is much stronger than Sun Ling. When besieging the beasts, Yama Kiyoko exerted the most force.
However, there was another reason that really made Lin Yue agree to join them, and that was Qingzhao.
This girl was Lin Yue's big acquaintance in her previous life, which made Lin Yue couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her for the first time just now. In her previous life, Qingzhao was also the middle force developed by Yancheng, and Lin Yue was able to become the boss of Yancheng, and she also contributed a lot. Lin Yue didn't feel much surprised to see his old acquaintances here, after all, this place was already within the range of Yancheng, and the people Lin Yue was familiar with in his previous life would appear one by one. It's just that after seeing acquaintances, Lin Yue was inevitably a little happy, but he didn't show it.
Don't look at Qing Zhao's thin body, but her strength is not low. Because she and Lin Yue also have jelly nuclei in their bodies, but Lin Yue relied on transplantation, while Qing Zhao gradually grew jelly nuclei in her body by swallowing mutant fruits.
The mutated fruit is a rare plant fruit in the New World, it is extremely rare like animal mutants, and it is a probabilistic mutated fruit among many plants. People who swallow this fruit have a chance of growing jelly cores in their bodies, but the probability is also very low.
Like Qing Zhao, their group should have happened to pick a mutated fruit, but fifty or sixty people ate the mutated fruit, but only three people grew it in their bodies, I don't know if it was a coincidence, these three people are all girls, they are Qing Zhao, Xue Dai and a girl named Tubai. Naturally, these three men became the leaders of their group.
Lin Shaota, the leader of the other group, may be much weaker than the previous two leaders, but what makes Lin Yue strange is that he feels that he can't even see through this man.
Although this team is divided into three groups, they are relatively united, and Yama Kiyoko has a calm personality and often helps patients; Qingzhao looks cold on the outside, but he is relatively enthusiastic on the inside; And Lin Shaota is completely a big talker, with an extremely easy-going temperament. None of these three people are lonely and arrogant, so there is no disagreement in this team for the time being.
But this was only temporary, Lin Yue could imagine that once they succeeded in hunting the beast and there was a situation where they could not distribute it, there would definitely be a split within them.
"Stop!" In the marching procession, a long-faced man who took the lead in the front of the investigation suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "There is movement ahead!" ”
Shan Qingzi, who was supporting the injured person, was stunned when she heard this, handed over the injured patient to others to take care of, walked up to the long-faced man and asked, "Minghao, what's the matter?" ”
The long-faced man was obviously very respectful to Shan Qingzi, he unconsciously bent down slightly, and said, "Brother Zhou, there seems to be a fight not far ahead." ”
Yama Kiyoko obviously felt a little awkward about the long-faced man's behavior of bowing down and talking to him, but he didn't say much, but said, "You take two people over to check the situation!" ”
The long-faced man named Minghao nodded emphatically, and then slowly moved to the front with two people to investigate.
"Someone must be besieging the beast!" Lin Shaota, who was a big talker, started all kinds of noise of his own again, and some of them didn't say: "The last time we also met a group of people besieging the beasts, we wanted to go over and help them...... Oops, in fact, to put it bluntly, I just want to get a piece of the pie, but there are a lot of people, saying that they don't need our help, and they threaten us to leave quickly with force, so we have no choice but to give up, I don't know how many of them are this time. If they are smaller, hehe! ”
Lin Shaota's last bad laugh immediately let people know what he was thinking.
Soon the long-faced man came back, and the reported situation was indeed as Lin Shaota said, there was someone besieging the beast in front of him.
"How many are there?" Qing Zhao asked, "What kind of beast are they besieging and fighting?" ”
"There are about two hundred people, and the siege is a beast that looks like a wild boar!" The long-faced man glanced at Qing Zhao as he spoke, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
However, Qing Zhao didn't notice his action of swallowing saliva, but turned around and thought about Shan Qingzi and said, "Brother Shan Qing, what to do now?" ”
Shan Qingzi pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at Lin Shaota and Lin Yue, and said, "What do you think?" ”
"Needless to say, of course, we will hide and wait for the opportunity first, and then we will rush out to reap the benefits of the fishermen after they have almost lost the battle with the beasts!" Lin Shaota shouted without hesitation.
Zhao Longtao tugged at the corners of his mouth, he didn't expect this guy to be able to say such a shameless idea directly. But in fact, Lin Shaota is not the only one who thinks so, but all the people who hunt in the Death Forest will also think this way when they encounter this situation, but it is still relatively rare to say it directly like Lin Shaota.
"I think Lin Shaota's idea can be considered!" What Zhao Longtao didn't expect was that Lin Yue actually responded to Lin Shaota's statement: "But it's not to go out to grab their achievements, but to help them when they're most critical." They are supposed to be rounding up a red-maned boar, a beast that is very good at hiding its strength, and often bursts out of its strength just when you think it is about to be killed, and finally kills you. So those people may not be able to kill the red-maned forest pig, but they may be killed by it. ”
Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect that a beast would know how to hide its strength, and they didn't expect Lin Yue to know so much.
"Just blow it!" The long-faced man standing behind Shan Qingzi suddenly pouted and said, "How long have you only been in the Forest of Death, how can you know if that red-maned boar will hide its strength." Even if it can really hide its strength, under Brother Zhou's knife, it will definitely die. Right, Brother Zhou! After finishing speaking, the long-faced man smiled flatteringly at Yama Kiyoko.
After hearing the words of the long-faced man, Yama Qingzi had already frowned slightly, and after seeing the flattering smile of the long-faced man, she was even more displeased. But he still didn't show it, but chose to ignore him, and instead said to Lin Yue: "Whether what Brother Lin Yue said is true or not, we can still try it." Then let's hide in the dark and observe the situation first! ”
Yama Kiyoko's statement was immediately agreed by everyone, and then everyone immediately prepared and slowly moved forward.
"What a villain!" While walking, Zhao Longtao also muttered to the back of the long-faced man. When Lin Shaota heard this, he immediately came over and said, "Isn't it, this guy was rescued by Shan Qingzi once before, and then he has been following him and doing all kinds of things for Shan Qingzi." After that, he thought that he had been reused by Shan Qingzi, and when facing Shan Qingzi, he was flattering and flattering, and when facing others, he was bitter and mean, and he was a complete villain. ”
After Meng Wen heard them talking, he interjected and said: "Don't care how villain he is, this is his own choice of life, but his way of living is obviously not suitable for Shan Qingzi, it's ridiculous that he can't even see it at all." ”
After the group had advanced nearly a hundred meters, a group of people could be seen attacking around a large wild boar through a dense forest. This wild boar is indeed a red-maned forest boar as Lin Yue said, its skin is extremely hard, ordinary wooden spears can hardly hurt it at all, only some sharp metal tools can barely hurt it.
"Howl ......" The red-maned boar let out a low roar under the siege of a large crowd, and it used its fangs to keep pushing the besiegers against them, arching them open or stabbing them to death one by one.
Lin Yue and the others, who were hiding in the shadows, carefully observed the situation, and the sharp-eyed Meng Wen soon found that the limbs of the red-maned forest pig had obvious scars.
"It's normal that when hunting a beast, it's best to cripple its limbs first, so that it doesn't escape, and on the other hand, if it can't move quickly, it becomes a fixed target, so that it can be easily killed." Yama Kiyoko said: "When besieging and killing the beast, more than ninety percent of the casualties occurred when attacking the beast's legs, as long as the beast lost the ability to move, the casualties after that were basically reduced a lot." ”
The situation on the battlefield is not very optimistic, more than 200 people besieged and killed a red-maned forest pig, which should have been easy to do, but for some reason, after killing and injuring more than 30 people one after another, the red-maned forest pig still has the ability to move.
