Chapter 372: Murderous Sand Leech
"Brother Hao, have you seen those traces over there?"
"Well, I see it." Hao Sanshui nodded.
"This nut worm crawled all the way from the northeast direction of the Gobi depths, from its crawling trajectory, it is not difficult to see that this nut worm should be chased by something, it is sometimes fast and sometimes slow and sometimes walking in a straight line, sometimes circling in a circle, the trajectory of crawling all the way is very uneven, and you can see a relatively large scuffle traces over there five or six hundred meters, there can also be seen a relatively large scuffle traces over there." The big tower said calmly.
The eyes of him and Hao Sanshui kept looking ahead.
At the end of the line of sight, near the edge of a low hillside, the two men could spot a large area of yellow-brown dirt on the Gobi floor, which had been a flat river. This yellow-brown dirt surface is completely different from the color of the Gobi next to it, it looks like it appeared here out of thin air, in fact, this messy yellow-brown soil is the color of the Gobi underground soil, according to the speculation of the big tower, the main reason for this situation is because the soil of several meters below the Gobi is because of the scuffle between this monster and another monster, and it has been renovated to the ground.
"Well, my thoughts are the same as yours, Brother Data." After Hao Sanshui saw it, he ignored the unpleasant smell in the air that made people frown and feel displeased: "If my guess is correct, the size of the thing that chased it should not be very big." Coupled with the corpse of the nut worm in front of him, as well as the corpse of the nut worm and those natural enemies, this is probably what happened. It was chased by hunters in the Gobi, struggled to escape along the way, and was killed when it finally tried to cross the asphalt road. ”
Da Ta listened to Hao Sanshui speak, nodded slowly, and at the same time raised the question in his heart.
"Nut bugs?"
"Brother Hao knows such a monster?" The Great Tower asked.
"Well, the Nut Worm is a monster with very average attack power, but it has a slightly stronger defense, and it is as resistant to beating as the composite armor of a tank. But if it's a heads-up situation, then it's not difficult for the general E-class mercenary group to kill it, and its movement speed is not fast, so you only need to fly a kite and slip him, and at the same time focus on the firepower of the entire mercenary group, all of which are used to attack its head, as long as it breaks the defense of its head and destroys the nerves in its head, then you can kill it in just a few minutes of fighting with it. Hao Sanshui nodded, and while he spoke, he also felt very strange in his heart.
This kind of hexagram in his heart has long appeared. It's just that now when I was asked by the big tower, a strange feeling appeared again.
Because in Hao Sanshui's understanding, these monster towers should have some understanding.
This is a necessary quality for the leader of a mercenary group, members of the group can not know all the characteristics of monsters, as the leader of a B-level mercenary group, the big tower has the responsibility and obligation to know all the monsters that are known to be offensive to humans. In order to avoid being in contact with monsters, you don't know anything, and then make any reckless moves.
It's like the nut insect demon in front of you, and it's not a rare monster.
In those days, when humans and monsters looked at each other across the sea and faced each other, these nut insect swarms appeared in the thousands.
They are grouped together, and the edge outline is not visible at a glance. I can only watch them run over from one side of the city without any power to fight back, and come out from the other side of the city, hollowing out the vitality of the entire city. Therefore, at any time, there should be no fault line for humans to lose their understanding of this monster. It's unlikely that the existence of this monster has been forgotten in less than a hundred years.
If this is really the case, then the mercenary academy that teaches mercenary knowledge is too irresponsible.
Of course, this may also be the reason for the loss of hub data due to the monster siege, the city is lost, the computer room responsible for storing the monster data is destroyed on a large scale, the data recorded in the computer room is lost, and there are too many types of monsters, with the large-scale sharp decline of the human race, people's hearts are a little scattered, and this situation occurs again, it is not a particularly strange thing. At the same time, this is also the reason why Hao Sanshui only feels a little strange, and does not have any sense of arrogance and contempt for the big tower in it, after all, he can still understand the big tower, and understand the mercenaries of the generation similar to the big tower, they are struggling in the three cities and burning their soul flames, and they can not give up hope and fight until the end, which can be said to be a very difficult thing.
However, after Hao Sanshui finished explaining, Da Ta really admired Hao Sanshui in his heart.
"I understand, it turns out that this monster is called a nut worm, and I know what kind of monster this nut worm is." Da Ta smiled, reached out and patted Hao Sanshui's shoulder, then took out two cigarettes from his pocket, handed them over, lit the cigarette in his hand, took a puff, looked at Hao Sanshui standing next to him with surprise, and spit out the smoke with admiration and surprise in his heart: "But Brother Hao, you are really knowledgeable and talented, I have never heard of this kind of monster before,"
"Haha, I just happen to know, I still have a lot of things I don't understand." Hao Sanshui smiled indifferently.
He took the cigarette given to him by the tower, opened his teeth and bit it, lowered his head slightly and lit the cigarette with the cigarette butt that was about to burn out in his hand, then threw the cigarette butt on the asphalt road, lifted the desert-colored boots, and took the sand and dust on the asphalt road, and directly crushed the cigarette butt.
"Eh, Brother Hao, you are really modest. In other words, ordinary people would never be so calm, and pretending to be forced is necessary. ”
"Ordinary people are sure, but the problem is that you and I are both the head of the regiment, and you and I understand the difficulty of the head of the regiment."
"Haha, I would agree with what you said before."
"And now?"
"Now if I knew so much like you, I would be proud in my own heart."
"Hahaha, it's not a big deal to be arrogant or not, it's okay to be good with others and evil with others. Now, let's go over there and take a look at the nut worm's head, and take a look at it to determine if it was really killed by the monster I thought. This time Hao Sanshui walked in front, he did not lead the tower to approach the nut worm again, but along the direction of the nut worm's corpse, keeping a distance of fifty or sixty meters from the nut worm's corpse, walked out of the asphalt road, stepped directly on the ground of the Gobi, and then walked more than ten meters to the front, looking sideways at the nut worm lying on the ground, full of maggots.
I saw that the head of the nut worm corpse was not seen from the side, and there was nothing strange about it.
The monster-like ugly insect face is intact, which seems to indicate that Hao Sanshui's previous conjecture was wrong.
Hao Sanshui didn't care, looked at the big tower and signaled: "Brother big tower, let's go around to the front and have a look." ”
"Okay." The big tower promised neatly.
Next, Hao Sanshui and the big tower continued to walk, with the head of the nut worm corpse as the central position, walked more than 100 meters towards the depths of the Gobi, walked an arc, half a minute later, standing in front of the nut worm corpse, the expression on Hao Sanshui's face appeared a clear look, and there was a lot of surprise and convincing on the face of the big tower.
"Brother Hao, it seems that our previous guess was not wrong, this nut worm was really killed by a small monster!" Big Tower Road.
There was a nut insect face reflected in his eyes, a worm face that was originally intact, but now a big hole appeared in the middle position, this big hole was bloody, rotten flesh hung on the top of the cave, the hole was round and pitch black, and at first glance there was a bottomless feeling inside.
It seems to be able to attract all the attention of people in it.
"Yes, this nut worm was indeed killed by other monsters, and it was killed with one blow, and it went directly into the brain."
"Ruthless!" The big tower changed his position, if he was a nut worm, he would be drilled into his brain by another monster......
"It's really ruthless, and when I look at the wounds caused by this monster, I almost already know what it is."
"Ah, Brother Hao, do you know? I don't have a clue yet. Data asked in surprise.
"Leeches." Hao Sanshui gave such a word as an answer.
"Leeches? I've never heard of it. ”
"Sand leech is just an abbreviation, and biological scientists give it the scientific name Vascular Desert Leech. This kind of monster is fierce by nature, except for the monsters of their own race, even the extremely powerful bewilderment-level monsters are not qualified to control them, otherwise even if they fight until the entire race is wiped out, they will definitely not have any succumb to it. In other words, the sand leech belongs to the kind of thing that once it encounters it, unless you kill it, it will definitely chase and kill all the way until you are dead or alive. When they were young, the strength of the leeches was weak, and even when the ordinary alder insects were unable to help themselves and frantically attack the juvenile leeches, the ordinary alder insects could kill the juvenile leeches unscathed and then eat it. But as long as the leech grows up and grows to the age of a young leech, then let alone the alder worm, the leader of the alder worm is in front of it, that is, the existence waiting for death, as long as it is encountered by the leech, there is no chance to escape! Hao Sanshui looked at the corpse of the nut worm, squinted and smoked and said.
He himself acted as a monster encyclopedia at a critical time, and almost said everything that needed to be said.
After Da Ta understood the introduction of the leech, the whole person understood.
After understanding, he was able to know how powerful this sand leech was, so he took his eyes off the big hole in front of the nut worm's corpse, looked at Hao Sanshui in a daze, and said all the questions in his heart: "Then according to Brother Hao's introduction, this sand leech should be a relatively powerful monster, right?" ”
"Well, it's pretty strong."
"So what level of monster does the sand leech belong to, ordinary, elite, or lord?" The Great Tower asked.
"There's no really recognized hierarchy yet, and different people have different opinions."
"Is that ......?"
"Yes, the sand leech is different from ordinary monsters, the potential of the sand leech is very large, that is to say, the strength of the sand leech will increase linearly according to the age of its survival, and the increase rate is unusually fast, I think it is very powerful. However, because the nature of the leech is aggressive and likes blood, and is not afraid of other powerful monsters, their mortality rate is extremely high, and there are more than 10,000 leech larvae in the eggs discharged by an adult leech, and these larvae can really grow to juveniles, less than ten, and then wait until they live to the form of youth, it is estimated that they will not even be able to spend half a day. Therefore, for the group of sand leeches, its strength differentiation is too exaggerated. Powerful adult sand leeches are the overlord of a place no matter where they are placed, at least at the lord level, while weak sand leeches can kill even a garbage monster like a rodent demon. Hao Sanshui said, Yu Guang looked at the big tower with a serious and surprised look, and smiled and put forward some of his understanding of sand leeches.
"Oh, that's right."
"That's it, but it's not impossible to really set up a level for this sand leech." Hao Sanshui smiled lightly.
"How?"
"Three forms."
"Juvenile sand leeches, a scum, except for inheriting the ferocity of sand leeches, have no characteristics."
"Young sand leeches, the most powerful of ordinary monsters, fierce like a vicious dog that bites people when they see them."
"Young sand leech, the elite level of elite-level monsters, killing any elite-level monster is like playing."
"The sand leech in the prime of life, the big guy in the lord level, it is estimated that the scarlet blood raven will not want to order when it sees this sand leech. Whether it's for monsters or for humans, it's the kind of monster that you can't see, don't provoke, and don't provoke if you can. It is also in response to the sentence "You think you don't want to die, the sky is narrow and the earth is your best, that's because you haven't seen a guy who really doesn't want to die", if you really encounter a small sand leech, less than the length of one of your feet, it will be like a mad dog chasing you and biting, if you don't kill you or be killed by you, you will not be reconciled. Hao Sanshui proposed this one, which is considered to be the rank division that was generally agreed upon by the mercenaries in the previous generation, and told the big tower about this hierarchy.
"Oh, it's so complicated, but after listening to Brother Hao, I have increased my knowledge anyway, and I can be considered to know the existence of such a monster and some of its characteristics." Data said with a smile, but these things were deeply remembered in his heart. If you can't use it now, it doesn't mean that you can't use it for a lifetime, and the mercenary career is very long. Then he looked at the big hole in the head of the nutworm in front of him and asked, "Brother Hao, what level do you think the leech that killed this nutworm is?" ”
"It must be a young sand leech." Hao Sanshui stretched out his hand and pointed to the big hole: "Otherwise, the defense power of this nut insect in front of us will not be able to break through the juvenile-level sand leech at all." If it is really the peak sand leech in the prime of life, we will not have a chance to see the corpse of this nut worm now, I am afraid that the whole nut worm will be digested by the sand leech of peak strength in the prime of life, let alone run such a long distance before being chased and killed by this sand leech. ”
"Well, I said that what kind of monster and nut worm have a common hatred, chasing and killing such a long distance, it turned out to be a sand leech."
"Yes, purely judging from its ferocious habits, there are not many races stronger than it."
"It's also a loss that the monsters are strong and weak, otherwise they will all be replaced by such powerful monsters, and we humans won't be able to bear it."
"Correct."
"Look at it this way, Brother Hao, you see that you are seeing the sand leech running such a long distance and dying here, you will know the situation!"
"It's about the same, but I can't be sure, so I'm going to see where the nutworm's head is, which leeches like to devour from the cerebral cord." Hao Sanshui laughed as he spoke, and directly said what he thought in his heart: "And when I first guessed that it was a sand leech, I still listened to the expectation in my heart." ”
"Looking forward to ...... What do you have to look forward to in the sand leech, Brother Hao, your taste is really good. Suddenly, there was a black line on the face of the big tower.
"Haha, things are not so simple, you don't know how high the value of sand leeches is!"
"Is it worth it?!"
"Of course, you think I'd look forward to it. If we can find the eggs of a leech, then we will really make a lot of money by selling them to the biological research scientists in ZMS Heavy Industries! If we are irresponsible, just relying on the eggs of this leech, we will be able to eat and dress in the city for a lifetime, and live the kind of life that only grandfathers can live! What Hao Sanshui said was very exaggerated, but there was no exaggeration in his tone.
"Damn, it's so valuable!"
"Definitely!"
"Eh, that's a shame." When Hao Sanshui said this, the big tower wanted to see the leeches.
Hao Sanshui laughed mysteriously after hearing the regretful tone of the big tower: "It's not a pity. ”
"What?"
"Because the leech is still inside the nut worm's corpse!" Hao Sanshui's words are not amazing, and they are endless!
The big tower was said by Hao Sanshui, and the whole person was excited, and he couldn't help but take a step back! If it is really the same as what Hao Sanshui said, there is a young sand leech in the corpse of this nut worm, then the two of them, who are not prepared for anything, are really attacked by this habit of sand leeches, and they definitely don't want to run, they will die in an instant!
There's no room for jokes!
Da Ta immediately said: "Brother Hao, don't scare me, I don't feel any danger in this nut worm's corpse!" ”
"That's because we're too far away, and the leeches inside the nutworm carcass are full and rested, and they don't feel that we're coming."
“…… Then why didn't you say it earlier! ”
"Because I didn't feel the leech inside, I had to determine how the nutworm died."
"Okay, even if the nut worm was killed by the sand leech, why are you sure that the sand leech is still in the nut worm corpse?"
"Isn't that easy?"
"Huh?"
"What would you do if you were a murderous man and saw your prey?"
"Killed?"
"Just killed?"
"Then what else is going on, do you want to split the corpses of the five horses?"
"It's just that the five horses are so kind."
"Oh my God, is this good?"
"Compared to the sand leech, this is already a gift!" Hao San Waterway.
"Well, I believe it!" A word woke up the dreamer, and the big tower suddenly understood.
"Yes, after the sand leech kills the monster, it will not leave the corpse fragments for the prey at all!"
"Looking at it this way, Brother Data, your understanding of cruelty is still too light."
"The leech represents absolute ferocity."
"Every time it kills an enemy, it burrows through the head of the prey and begins to feast on its prey. Unless it eats the whole corpse, chews up the bones of the corpse and swallows it all, it will not leave the corpse at all. It is precisely this seemingly rampant killing attitude that causes the mortality rate of sand leeches to be so high, so high that we can't believe it! When Hao Sanshui said this, his tone became indifferent.
