Chapter 114: The Scorpion Cat

"That's where we usually live."

The spider and the praying mantis led Zhao Qian to walk casually on the streets where "people come and go".

Every creature or person who saw the three of them would greet the two beside him, "Great Prophet! "Two prophets!"

"Hello Second Prophet!"

"Hello Great Prophet!"

“……”

Some of these creatures are humans, some are animals that Zhao Qian has never seen, some are big monsters like Li Xin after transformation, and some are indescribable species. For example, humanoids with snow-white wings on their backs and goat's horns on their heads; or tall creatures with black scales all over their bodies, like horses, but capable of speaking; Or maybe it's a strange human with six arms like an ancient mythical fairy, but his mouth doesn't speak like a human being......

They look like all kinds of things, they dress up in different ways, and they communicate in a variety of ways and languages! Zhao Qian felt that when he walked around this street, he saw and was surprised by more things than he had known in the outside world over the years!

He turned his head to look at the spiders and praying mantis on his left and right hands, but found that they did not respond to the warm greetings around them.

"Why don't you ignore them? And why do they call you prophets? ”

"Prophets are the two of us, and we are not ignoring them, because we are guarding the safety of this place. Many of them came from different places, and some of them were persecuted like me and came here after they had nowhere else to go; Some heard the wind and came here; Others are ancient races that were brought in by their grandmother a long time ago, and have never been out here since. ”

"During this period, there have been many wars, all of which we have quelled with flesh and blood!"

"You guys? Two? Zhao Qian looked at the praying mantis and was a little puzzled.

"You're just a fool, how capable are the two of us, how can we have so much ability to protect everything here!"

Seeing Zhao Gan scratching his head in embarrassment, the spider explained to him: "There are three kinds of people here. One is the front-line contributors like the two of us, and the other is the ordinary logistics staff you see in front of you. There is also the leader who leads the dungeon to last forever! ”

"Except for a small group of people who are unable to give labor because of certain relationships. From the moment a person is born or enters the area, he or she is assigned a corresponding contribution task by the administrator of his or her area. Some will guard the dungeon as warriors; Some will be used as production personnel, bringing daily consumables to the dungeon; Others were chosen as the ruling leaders to lead the entire dungeon to run normally! ”

And the front-line personnel and the ruling leaders are the most powerful! So every person who is excellent in these two types will be loved by the people in the dungeon! The spider nodded to an approaching Inhuman woman.

"And the two of us are also the more famous among the front-line personnel, thanks to the care of my grandmother. The most important rule here, you already know. Here, whoever is strong is the boss! Simple! Brusque! There are no shortcuts! And strength represents more than just force! It can also be survivability, leadership, governance, and any aspect of its pivotal role in the development of the dungeon! The praying mantis touched the head of a green-skinned girl holding her thigh.

"So where do I need to contribute to them here?" Zhao Qian also squatted down and looked at the girl who was hiding behind the praying mantis while hiding from his palm. I found that her eyes were the same as fish eyes, they had no eyelids! It is a milky white film in the eye to "blink".

"The inhabitants of this area are of a more peaceful temperament, and all their resources are self-sufficient. They eat the crops they grow in the planting belt over there; And they are all wearing the clothes of ordinary residents issued by the dungeon. As for the residence, it is generally an ordinary living house arranged by the logistics department. The praying mantis pinched the girl's round green cheeks, causing her to laugh 'Gaga'.

Not far away, an inhuman woman wearing a gray-white short-sleeved dress stepped forward to pick up the green-skinned girl, bowed to the praying mantis and spiders, and then glanced at Zhao Gan with strange eyes that also had no eyelids before leaving, which made him squatting on the ground a little puzzled.

Standing up, he looked at the planting spot that the praying mantis had pointed to in the distance, and saw that it was a shallow swamp with no edge in sight, and the swamp was planted with dense pineapple tree-like dwarf plants. Each one was almost half a man tall, and there were many people working there. Because the distance was a little far, Zhao Qian only saw a circle of red balls that could not be seen under the huge yellow leaves of those crops. Come to think of it, that's their daily food.

"That shallow swamp is called Hongshuize, and all the fruits grown in it are red crystal fruits, and the fruits produced here are generally eaten by the people of this area, and a small part is sent to other areas to exchange for other specialties."

Knowing Zhao Gan's doubts, the spider specially explained to him.

"How long will such a large invisible swamp last? Since the dungeon has existed for so long, according to my grandmother, if the soil here is completely invalid, does it mean that everyone living in this area will be 'unemployed'? ”

"Hehe, I knew that Brother Zhao would ask this, if the general place exists like our dungeon for so long, there will definitely be the problem you said, but have you noticed that all the plants here rarely have green leaves? And we don't have sunlight here, how can crops photosynthesize? Seeing that the praying mantis was about to ridicule Zhao Gan again, the spider hurriedly interjected.

"yes, I've wanted to ask for a long time! What the hell is that glowing thing on top of your head? With such a large population, why don't I feel stuffy, where are the vents? And ah......"

"Wait, wait, wait! Don't worry! We'll talk as we go, and you'll know when we get to the place! "Interrupting Zhao Gan's question, the spider took the lead in the lead!

…………

"! This, this, this! What the hell is this! Li Xin's exaggerated shouts were heard far away in the quiet woods!

"Shut up! If you don't want to attract more monsters, keep your voice shut! As soon as Yellow Eagle saw the cute night owl's head exposed, he knew it was going to be bad!

Dagger and Yuan Hong also slowly retreated to the three immobile guys, "This is a mutant scorpion cat!" Its sense of hearing and sight, as well as the tactile sensation of the bristles on its eight legs, are very sensitive! Usually it comes out to hunt food after nightfall, and the fact that we can see it at dusk means that this happens to be its territory! ”

looked at the three people behind him, and found that they had no possibility of moving at all, so the dagger had to look at Yuan Hong, and the two of them each held aside in case there were other accidents.

"Manticore?!" Li Xin looked at the giant thing in the distance in shock, and his heart felt like a boat that was about to be overturned, shaking incessantly! "That, then what the hell is a scorpion or a cat~"

I thought it was just a small night cat, but I didn't expect it to be because it was a little far away before, plus the sky was a little dark, and there was that dense bush blocking it, Li Xin didn't feel anything wrong at all. But after it gradually drilled out of the whole body behind it, this one opened his eyes!

"Whew!"

His whole body was covered with dark iron armor, his chest the size of the living room table, and his eight long, flat feet as thick as an adult's thighs, covered with bristles the thickness of his little fingers, which were the source of his special way of perceiving his prey! Coupled with its black shiny little arm, the sharp tail needle that bends slightly upward, and the "click" at Li Xin and the others, you can see at a glance that the power is amazing. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a vegetarian!

"So, that's a scorpion? Why does its head look so much like a pet cat?! Li Xin also had to approach the dagger, after all, it was the first time he came here, and he had been living as happily as a pig in "captivity" before, so at this moment his heart was very bottomless, such a big mutant species, even if Superman saw it, it is estimated that he would be shocked!

"These are the most common carnivores on the outskirts of Dead Mountain, and no one knows where they came or reproduced, and I've only seen them in a field course. They not only have the abilities of scorpions, but also have the perception of felines and arthropods, and their heads not only look like cats, but also have the vision, hearing, and reflexes of cats. I didn't expect them to be close to three meters tall when they stood up! Looking at it that way, I guess we didn't go wrong by invading their territory! Huang Ying held his head high, tried to look in front of the three daggers in front of them, and explained to Li Xin in surprise.

"They? Their territory, you say?! Isn't it a solitary animal?! Finding the point in Huang Ying's words, Li Xin twisted his clockwork neck and asked backwards.

"Nonsense!" Feeling that his throat was a little noisy, Huang Ying consciously lowered his voice, "Otherwise, why didn't I want you to scream loudly just now!" Scorpion cats are creatures that generally live together with a female and a male, and some are rare, and they are composed of three to five juvenile semi-large scorpion cats living together. But look at this ~ how big, no matter how you look at it, it should be the former! ”

As soon as Huang Ying's words were finished, Li Xin and the three of them who were standing in front found that the scorpion cat, which was slowly approaching them just now, actually stopped at a distance of about six or seven meters from them, so they put away the two huge front claws, raised the cat's head, and stopped moving forward!

"What is it doing here? Do you know that we are not easy to mess with, so you dare not come? Li Xin quietly asked Yuan Hong on the right.

"No, it depends on the number of us, so I'm ready to pull the bang!"

"Puller? What is a ...... pull?"

Before Li Xin's words were finished, he was frightened by the unique cry of the scorpion cat opposite!
