Chapter 16: The Great Fluttering Moth

[Host, where did you get this from?] It feels like you're a treasure chest! 】

Gun-shaped data clusters covered with code float in front of the system, blueprints swaying in the staggered data stream.

The system tentatively touched it with the slender pipe extending from its body, and after learning what this data was through the cutting-edge data excuse, it looked a little stunned.

Never-before-seen technology poured into its brain through data streams, and all sorts of blueprints for man-portable weapons were completely transferred to its central database.

The system was a little stunned by the completely unfamiliar technology tree, but the instinct from the researchers quickly put the doubts and precautions behind them, and began to excitedly parse the information inside.

But it still didn't forget to ask its own doubts.

"It's not enough to have a treasure chest, it's just that sometimes I accidentally stuff it in and forget to take it out, resulting in more and more items." Lin Ling rummaged through her body, put aside the chocolate cake she had taken out, and finally took out a lollipop from it, tore open the package and stuffed it into her mouth, "That thing is my last trophy, and it was kindly provided by a quantum life form like you." ”

[Quantum lifeforms? Same system program as me? He said this, but the system still didn't lift up, and his whole mind was immersed in the new knowledge.

"Yes, quantum lifeforms, but ......," Lin Ling recalled the scene where she split it with a laser knife, and fell into deep thought, "I slaughtered it." ”

γ€β€¦β€¦οΌŸοΌŸοΌŸ The analysis program paused, and the system slowly raised its body to look at Lin Ling, and saw the sincerity without deception in the latter's eyes, [Then this is ......]

"I pulled it out of its corpse."

【it!】 The system subconsciously wanted to throw the data cluster out, but the natural desire made it grasp the data cluster, and for a while, throwing it was neither left nor kept, which was extremely contradictory.

The conversation between the two also attracted Xia Xiaoyu's attention, and she raised her head blankly, her tear-stained cheeks full of surprise.

She looked at the short knife in her hand, then at the ball in the system's arms, and finally looked at Lin Ling swallowing her saliva, and when she was about to return the knife, she heard Lin Ling's speech.

"Don't look at it, you bought a weapon and got it."

The gray color enveloped Xia Xiaoyu's heart at that moment.

But whether it is her or the system, no matter how lost and tangled, she has to seriously familiarize herself with the weapons or tools in her hands.

The system's ability to quickly understand the blueprint was basically what Lin Ling expected, but Xia Xiaoyu's jerky at the beginning to the skillful swinging of the short knife in the back also exceeded Lin Ling's expectations.

This short knife weighs 3.5 kilograms, which is not possible to use so quickly with the muscle level of a normal high school girl.

But thinking about the nature of the little girl, this doesn't seem too strange.

When the system and Xia Xiaoyu were still condensing or familiarizing themselves with the new weapon, Lin Ling had already looked at the rift.

In the deep rift, the brilliant halos of light intersect and the air, strange rocks and sediments of various postures cover the surroundings like waterfalls, and the monsters on the stalactites are also quietly upside down, especially quiet.

It's just that those monsters seem to have shrunk again unconsciously.

Squatting down, picking up the bone spear and the long rope, Lin Ling tied the rope to the middle of the bone spear, placed the bone spear horizontally on it and skewered fresh pieces of meat, and wrapped a dense barb-like long chain around the bone handle in order to prevent accidents.

This is something she redeemed from the mall, and it is said that it is a tool invented by a chef on a certain planet to cut food more quickly, but according to the chef, it still doesn't work.

Although it is true that it is not useful as a kitchenware, it is still quite useful as a weapon for hunting.

At least that's what Lin Ling thinks.

Without much hesitation, Lin Ling suddenly threw it towards the most brilliant place of the halo.

The bone spear came out of her hand, and the still bloody pieces of flesh flew into the air.

It's just that this time Lin Ling's strength is quite small, the bone spear only sprints halfway, and the speed slowly decreases, and when it reaches the highest point, it draws an arc in the air and falls down.

There are no monsters there.

Lin Ling felt a little pity in her heart, and when she was about to pull the rope back, she suddenly felt a sinking in her hand.

The long rope that was straightened fell into the eyes of the system and Xia Xiaoyu, and the two didn't even say a word, so they tacitly fixed Linling's waist from the top of the rope.

The barbs on the bait pierced the transparent creature's tentacle mouthparts at that moment, and the already sharp bone spear pierced through its large mouth to the outside, and the silkworm monster emerging from the stone mantle struggled in pain.

While its large, clumsy body makes it curious how exactly it managed to burrow under the thin stone curtain, it doesn't seem to matter much given the fact that the world has now been unrecognizable.

With the first experience, the three worked together well and quickly pulled the unlucky guy out of the rift and into the tunnel.

Before the silkworm monster could struggle, Lin Ling picked up the tennis racket and smashed it hard, directly smashing the black head of the silkworm monster.

Of course, the bones of her arms were broken into several pieces again.

This time Lin Ling's injuries were even more serious, white bones bulged out of the joints, piercing the skin, exposing the air with a viscous black liquid, and faintly, some blood streaks flashed on it.

Lin Ling's flesh began to wriggle, and the deformed bones moved back to their original positions little by little in front of the other inhuman creatures, and finally returned to their original state, showing no signs of injury.

【…… Wait a minute, let me add one more layer of filters. 】

Witnessing all this, the system felt the pressure even with mosaics for protection.

"Go on." As if it wasn't herself who was hurt, Lin Ling rehung the bait with a blank face, and then threw it again.

Some monsters that refused to let go of their mouths until they died were once again hooked.

Lin Ling broke her arm again.

This process is repeated, and the system and Xia Xiaoyu have been watching Lin Ling's face change and waiting for her arm to recover and cast the bait again.

And a certain female high school student, her eyes have changed from fear at the beginning to worship, "cool ......"

The system couldn't help but glance at the little girl, and wanted to complain about whether she had any misunderstanding of the word "cool".

Lin Ling ignored the two muttering next to her, her eyes were fixed on the rift from beginning to end.

The silkworm monster has been killed completely, and the last one left was also inadvertently discovered by Lin Ling, so that the system ended its life with new equipment.

She wondered when the only red dot on the map would come out.

"System, you stay here, aim at monsters for a while, interfere, and shoot at weak points if necessary." Holding down the system that was a little uneasy due to multiple successes, Lin Ling moved her eyes to Xia Xiaoyu.

The latter straightened his back unconsciously under her gaze, looking slightly nervous.

"You follow me out to attract monsters."

Lin Ling instinctively didn't feel at ease with this unknown Xia Xiaoyu, especially staying by the system's side, if it caused accidents and losses, she couldn't afford it.

[Why am I staying here......] The system is slightly dissatisfied.

"Because I need you to keep me behind me." Saying that, Lin Ling didn't look back until the moment she stepped out of the tunnel.

His eyes moved downward, staring at the new weapon condensed in his hand, the system was quiet for a while, and finally condensed a few more weapons, [Forget it, this should be enough. 】

Stepping on the rough rock, Lin Ling climbed down the steep rock wall.

Her hands and face, including any parts that might come into contact with the stone curtain, were isolated with cloth or other things to prevent them from being sucked by the stone curtain.

The further down you go, the drier and colder the air becomes.

This made Xia Xiaoyu couldn't help but shudder, and her hand accidentally let go.

"Ahhh!!h

The stalagmite she grabbed with her other hand suddenly broke before she could even grasp the other force point, and Xia Xiaoyu's body suddenly leaned back.

In a panic, she was grabbed by Lin Ling.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Thank you...... Thank? Looking at Lin Ling, who was speechless, Xia Xiaoyu shrunk her neck and continued to climb down.

When she reached the bottom, Lin Ling found another, deeper rift, which happened to be in the dead end of the field of vision above, which led to her only discovering it now.

Avoiding the stalagmites that were out of position, Lin Ling leaned down on the edge and leaned down.

The white patch came into view.

Lin Ling and Xia Xiaoyu looked at each other, finally nodded, and climbed down against the rock wall.

As the two gradually deepened, the surrounding environment began to gradually change, and the surrounding area became whiter.

The original colorful colored light was also lost here, and instead of a light like a milky white bright light, it shrouded the surroundings

The surrounding rocks were also as white as if they had been dyed with a layer of white paint by an unknown object.

Finding a platform to settle on, Lin Ling helped Xia Xiaoyu down.

She looked at her surroundings and then used her left hand to snap a large piece of powder from the stone curtain.

The powder, whiter than the top, slid down her fingers, and what shook off was just a few tiny pebbles.

No bugs.

In the stone curtain next to the tunnel, you can dig out a bunch of insects that look like the larvae of silkworm monsters with a single snap, but here, there is no trace of small insects.

Lin Ling looked for a few more places, and the same phenomenon was in the powder under the deduction.

Pulling Xia Xiaoyu, who was looking left and right and almost falling off the platform, Lin Ling looked down along the surrounding cliffs.

"Look! What is that! ”

Xia Xiaoyu, who was grabbed by Lin Ling's back collar, pointed to the direction of the bottom and widened his eyes.

Lin Ling followed her line of sight, and the white objects she saw made her slightly stunned.

She had guessed that the appearance of the last red dot might be related to the silkworm monster in the form of a giant bug or moth, or that it had nothing to do with the silkworm monster and was like a deformed species like a gecko.

But the snow-white figure ...... Completely shattered her conjecture.
