Chapter 7: Swimming Snakes
There were still three people standing next to the huge Tsubaki elephant corpse, the sour smell and stench gradually dissipated, the birds and beasts that had been swept away had not returned, the sunlight that had been cut by the branches and leaves shone down like spotlights, and the forest was silent again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Pan Wei pricked up his ears to make sure that the wolf guard was really gone, and there was really no one left, so he looked at Chen Zhen and said, "Actually...... I should have killed her first and then you so that I let her go and she wouldn't run away. ”
"Swimming snakes don't hurt women." Chen Zhen said lightly: "Women usually live well when they come to your hands, eat the best, and use the best, because you like the fragrance of women, and dead women have no fragrance." ”
"Heh......" Pan Wei approached Qi Yunxiao and took a deep breath, looked at it and said, "It seems that you really know us." ”
Qi Yunxiao didn't know what a swimming snake was, so he just said coldly: "Don't worry, I will never run, I will watch you be killed." ”
The sound of inhaling, the breath of breath when speaking, the spit on the back of the neck...... All this made Qi Yunxiao very uncomfortable, she endured it and kept calm, but when the opportunity came, she would express her disgust.
"Okay, just watch me kill him." Pan Wei simply let go of Qi Yunxiao, pushed her aside, lowered his hands, and was ready to launch a dark crossbow, as long as Qi Yunxiao ran, he would immediately shoot a crossbow bolt smeared with anesthetic, this kind of crossbow bolt is specially prepared for women, small, and will not leave scars, but the anesthetic on it is very powerful.
Qi Yunxiao didn't run, walked to a mound of dirt next to her, sat down with her knees hugged, ready to watch a good show, she had seen how fast Chen Zhen shot, even if he stood still, the hand hidden under the bandage could kill Pan Wei in an instant.
Pan Wei thought about it, turned around and pulled out the broken knife from Pan Yi's head, waved his hand to spill the blood on the knife, and said, "I'll use this knife." ”
He had already thought about it, the dark crossbow shot was not far away, and the accuracy was poor, but when it suddenly came in a hand-to-hand fight, the other party would definitely not be able to dodge.
Chen Zhen didn't speak, just stood in place and waited quietly.
Pan Wei took a deep breath, rushed over, and tentatively slashed at Chen Zhen's left shoulder, his left arm was wrapped in a bandage, and it looked like he was injured and it was difficult to defend his left shoulder.
He didn't believe that Chen Zhen really didn't use weapons, he must have hidden it on his body like him, this knife was three points real and seven points empty, it looked powerful and fast, but as long as Chen Zhen took out his weapon, he could dodge it.
Chen Zhen still stood still, seeing that he had no time to dodge or take out other weapons, Pan Wei's heart moved, and he added a few more strengths, and at this moment when Pan Wei was strengthening, Chen Zhen suddenly made a move, his body did not move, and he used his right hand.
Pan Wei only felt that his eyes were sparkling, and his elbow socket was heavily buckled, and his elbow was bent uncontrollably, and then the hand holding the knife was held again, and he couldn't break free at all, his wrist was forcibly twisted, and the severed face of the knife was facing his face.
At this moment, Pan Wei suddenly had a ridiculous feeling in his heart, he had already had a premonition of what would happen next, he only felt that this was a nightmare, and by now, the dream should wake up, either wake up by himself or be shaken awake by Pan Yi.
It was a pity that he did not wake up from the dream, even though he immediately experienced the greatest pain of his life.
The broken knife stabbed into Pan Wei's eye socket, the tip of the broken cut hit the back of the head, broke the scalp, Pan Wei's head was dry a few times, and he fell to the ground softly, from beginning to end, Chen Zhen never used his left hand.
The two brothers were killed by the same person, with the same broken knife, in the same way, with the difference that only one head was pierced left and right, and one head was pierced back and forth.
"I thought you'd be left-handed." Seeing Chen Zhen pull out the broken knife and press his left palm on Pan Wei's wound, Qi Yunxiao jumped up and patted his ass and walked behind him.
"The left hand is a weapon." Chen Zhen said lightly: "I said I want to live honestly. ”
The mutated arm only sucks blood, and the blood accounts for one-tenth of the body's water, so the corpse will only be sucked pale and will not be shriveled, absorbing the blood in Pan Wei and Pan Yi's bodies, Chen Zhen walked to Tsubaki's corpse again, and broke the carapace with his left hand.
Most of the insects do not have hemoglobin in their blood, and the blood is not absorbed, so he retrieves crossbow arrows and looks for stones for the wolf guards.
Each mutant creature has a stone in its brain, including bones, and the stone is the kind of small round stone like a walnut that Chen Zhen gave to Feng Longsheng, there are three kinds of light stones, hot stones, and vibration stones.
The white one is the light stone, when the two light stones come into contact with each other, it will emit bright cold light at the same time, no heat is generated, the larger the light individual, the stronger the light;
The red color is a hot stone, when two hot stones come into contact with each other, they will heat up at the same time, no light will be produced, and the larger the hot stone, the greater the heat;
The black is the vibration stone, when the two vibrate when they touch, it will produce a slight vibration that is difficult to detect at the same time, only the weapon that touches the vibration stone can break the mutant creature is harder than the granite exoskeleton, the larger the vibration stone, the greater the destructive power of the exoskeleton, because the vibration stone is relatively rare, only the guards of the city can have it, and it is a crime for ordinary people to possess it.
The size of the stone has nothing to do with the type and the size of the mutated organism, and it is all up to luck to determine what kind of stone you get and how big the stone is.
Qi Yunxiao followed behind Chen Zhen with his hands behind his back, observing his every move, his eyes were full of curiosity, this person did not walk with the team, it was difficult to find such an opportunity to observe.
Chen Zhen's speed of breaking through the insect shell was much faster than that of the wolf guard, and he quickly dug out the crossbow bolts in the body of the largest Tsubaki elephant and the stones in its head, threw it on the ground, and walked towards the other one.
It wasn't until Chen Zhen boarded the back of the third Tsubaki Elephant that Qi Yunxiao asked, "What did you say about the swimming snake earlier?" ”
Chen Zhen didn't look back, and replied while busy working: "A huge organization outside the city, the leader is the exotic people of Yucheng, and they like to smell the smell of women, nicknamed the snake, they never deal with the people in the city, at most send some homeless people into the city to buy things, there is no need to know these things in the city, to live outside the city, it is best to understand, there are many such organizations, and the snake is the largest." ”
"I always thought there wouldn't be too many people outside the city, but I didn't expect it to be so dangerous" Qi Yunxiao smoothed her ponytail and added: "But the bones are not as terrible as we imagined." ”
As soon as she remembered the sound of Lu Wei smelling behind her, she felt uncomfortable and wanted to find a place to take a bath as soon as possible, but she knew very well in her heart that before returning to Liangcheng, this was just a luxury.
Chen Zhen saw her movements and didn't say anything.
…………
When the wolf guard came back with Aunt Mei, there were only three Chunxiang left that had not been dealt with.
Everyone was busy again, Aunt Mei wiped her tears next to Qi Yunxiao, she had been worried just now, but seeing that Qi Yunxiao was safe and sound at this time, the heart that had been hanging fell down, and as soon as the tense nerves were loosened, the tear ducts burst the embankment.
Qi Yunxiao looked at ease, laughing and comforting Aunt Mei, telling about the "wonderful" battle between Chen Zhen and Lu Wei, trying to distract Aunt Mei, but did not mention the snake.
It wasn't until all the crossbow bolts were recovered, and all the bug brains were dug up, that everyone got back on the road, and Chen Zhen disappeared into the team again, wandering around the team like a ghost, no one knew where he was, but everyone knew where he was.
Occasionally, the corpse of a mutated creature could be seen, and the head was intact, and the wolf guard immediately dug up the stones, and Chen Zhen didn't seem to care about these things at all, so Zhou Ding and Qin Shan's special belts with dark grids became heavier and heavier.
I originally thought it was a life-fighting trip, and there was a chance that I wouldn't be able to go back, but I didn't expect it to become a harvest trip, and the parts on the stones and mutated creatures, if you exchange these things for money, you can buy several houses in Liangcheng.
"What else can we pay him?" Zhou Ding said this sentence more than once, and the others could only smile bitterly when they heard it, the current situation was no longer that they hired Chen Zhen to escort them, but that Chen Zhen spent a lot of money to hire them to escort.
The team no longer needs Zhou Ding to take the lead and Qin Shan is broken, if there is danger ahead and there is a detour, obvious marks will appear on the ground, but Chen Zhen never showed up until it was dark and it was time to eat.
As soon as the procession stopped, he came out from the flank, pointed to the northwest and said, "There is a ruin in two hours, and you can spend the night." ”
There are far more phototaxis creatures than phototaxis, especially insects, and there will be a large number of mutated creatures at night, so it is best to have a ruin to hide.
Zhou Ding immediately decided to continue walking, they had a lot of light stones and hot stones in their belts, and they felt a little wealthy, no matter whether they could find a place to live in the ruins, they could spend a relatively comfortable night.
Qi Yunxiao and Aunt Mei's feet were so painful that they were about to lose consciousness, and they didn't complain at all, they buried their heads and continued to move forward, they also wanted to sleep peacefully, and their spirits needed rest more than their bodies.
…………
When they arrived at the ruins, it was already completely dark, and after looking around inside, there was no place to live, but fortunately it was not raining, and there were hot stones to keep warm, so the people set up camp on a relatively flat pile of rubble.
Wolf Wei buried the pot to cook, Qi Yunxiao and Aunt Mei sat on the concrete pier and rubbed their feet, Chen Zhen asked Zhou Ding to take a pair of light stones and a pair of hot stones, and they disappeared again.
There are mutated rats in the ruins, they are very large, and some of them have grown carapaces, but compared to the big bugs, the mutant rats are much less threatening, but the red eyes are terrifying.
Most of the meat on the mutant creatures has a strange smell, but there is always a small part that is a high-quality ingredient, and the wolf guards who often deal with them know it very well, and they have collected a lot along the way, so they take it out, skewer it with a weapon, and put it on top of the hot stone to grill, just sprinkle some salt and pepper is a delicacy.
