Chapter 16: Mutant Monsters
After saying that, Ma Le cut off the communication, leaving only the gnosis alone in a daze at the miracle badge: "Why, why haven't you met in the worlds earlier......"
Besides, on Ma Le's side, the reason why he cut off communication was because he encountered a prey.
In the dense woods, a blonde girl with a short sword in her hand was nervously moving forward. In this terrifying testing ground, Mo said that it was dangerous to encounter other tributes, even poisonous snakes and wild dogs.
Although Ma Le does not often participate in group training, he also recognizes this girl, she is Grimaud in District 1, she is a professional tribute, she is stronger and more cold-blooded than other plot characters. In the original book, Grimaud uses a bow and arrow, but her skills are much worse than that of Katniss, who used a killer bee to sting her to death, so that she could grab the bow and arrow. Now that the bow and arrows had been taken by Ma Le and the rest of the supplies had been burned, Grimaud had to use the charcoal-stained weapon that had been dug out of the ruins.
In the original book, Grimaud died quickly and did not show much ability. But you must know that the teenagers of District 1 are proud to be tributes, and they are not selected by lottery, but by competition. To stand out from the crowd, Grimaud is definitely not easy. But this is not simple, and it is only in the eyes of the plot characters, and in the eyes of adventurers, she has not yet stepped out of the category of ordinary people.
Marle doesn't want The Hunger Games to end too soon, so he only targets the adepts who pose a threat to the Gnostic trio. Grimaud, a "weak girl", let her live a few more days.
He was just about to leave, when he suddenly heard a noise behind him, and before he could react, he felt a strong force behind him. Caught off guard, Ma Le was knocked out by the force, and fell in front of Grimaud, startling the girl.
However, Grimaud was also well-trained in the end, and seeing that Ma Le was not his own, his first reaction was to swing his sword and stab him. Ma Le rolled over, dodged the blade of the sword, and half-knelt on the ground to look in the direction of his attack, only to see a huge black beast digging through the earth with its claws. The beast was about the size of a black bear, with a body structure similar to that of a mastiff, with a large head and a wide mouth, and sharp teeth, making it difficult to deal with.
"Mutant animals? Did they release mutant animals so early? Ma Le was surprised. In the original plot, there was a monster that was not a dog or a wolf, but it was already the later stage of the game, and there were not many tributes left, so the organizers put it in order to improve the ornamental type of the game. And now, how could it be put in so early?
Ma Le was stunned, and a few more of them came out from behind the monster. Grimaud was already stunned, although she was a professional tribute, but after all, she was only a teenager, and she could still be fierce in killing, in the face of this man-eating beast, she sat on the ground with her butt and ran backwards.
The mutant monsters were unwilling to let them go, and three of them pounced, one chasing after the fleeing Grimaud, and two at Ma Le. Ma Le took out his dagger and was about to fight, but suddenly heard a strange sound in the grass behind him. "Damn, these brutes can fucking play with two breads too?!" Ma Le roared, held the knife in his backhand, punched a monster in the stomach, grabbed the dead skin of the back of the monster's head with the other hand, and threw it hard into the grass behind him. The other monster was stabbed in the head by Ma Le and killed on the spot.
After the first monster flew into the grass, suddenly a human scream came from the grass, Ma Le was surprised, but he didn't have time to care, because the last two monsters had already pounced.
Ma Le sneered, threw away the dagger, clenched his fists with both hands, and hit the two monsters at the same time, both of which he used Jiuyang True Power, and the damage of each punch exceeded 100, and it was hitting the huge mouths of the two monsters, and the true qi exploded in the fists, and the brains of the two monsters were shocked into paste, and they died instantly.
Having solved the crisis in front of her, Marle looked at Grimaud, the girl lying motionless on the ground, her belly had been cut open, and the monster that attacked her was munching on it with its head buried in her abdomen, completely ignoring the darkness outside.
Ma Le sighed, walked over and kicked the glutton's neck, and bent down to pick up Grimaud's dagger. Then he walked towards the grass that had made a strange noise.
The monster that was thrown by Ma Le received his first blow, although he didn't use internal force, but he triggered a fatal punch, plus this punch hit the heart, the monster should have no chance of survival. Ma Le threw it over to deter the monsters behind, but unexpectedly, it was the screams of human beings.
Ma Le pushed aside the grass and saw two corpses lying on the ground, one of which belonged to the monster, and the bones in his heart were deeply dented. The other was a tall, handsome boy with a javelin in his hand. Ma Le recognized him, he should be Grimmault's partner, Marlin, also from District 1, who is good at throwing spears and spears, and is also a powerful faction in the original book.
Marlin was killed by a blow to the head, and to put it bluntly, he was stoned to death by a monster. Now that I think about it, that Grimaud should be a decoy, pretending to be alone in the forest, waiting for someone to attack, and then this Marlin will secretly attack the enemy. But he didn't expect to encounter this group of monsters attacking, this Marlin planned to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but was mistaken for an ambush monster by Ma Le and stoned to death......
"Hey, since ancient times, the spearman is lucky E......" Ma Le sighed, this guy is really enough to carry it, it is not dangerous to be knocked down, who knows that he was hit in the head, and he was really shot while lying down.
There are a total of five monsters, and two treasure chests, one blue and one white, have been dropped, but as soon as Ma Le touches it, this treasure chest turns into two rays of light and is included in the miracle badge, and it is no longer possible to take it out. It seems that the restrictions of The Hunger Games are really strict, and even the items you hit are not allowed to be used......
In addition to the treasure chest, these five monsters also brought Ma Le a 1000-point kill reward, and in addition, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he actually dropped an enchanted card! It's just that this card is the same as the treasure chest, and it is put into the storage space with a slight touch, and you can't even see the attributes......
Then, Ma Le contacted the Gnosis again, and after making sure that they were okay, he reminded them to be careful of the monsters, and hung up the communication and continued to walk deeper into the forest.
…………
At the edge of a stream deep in the forest, a tall, majestic Helias was washing his wounds. His partner, the slender Ophelia, stood beside him with a blank face, as if alerted to the danger around him. As for their plot partner, they have long been solved by the two. Helias was an extreme man, and although his proposal was not adopted, he still carried out his original idea and killed the characters of his first district as soon as possible, even though there was no real benefit in doing so.
The wounds on Helias's body were just left by the attack of the mutated beast. For some reason, the organizers seemed to be in a hurry to increase the difficulty of the Hunger Games, and at the same time dropped a large number of mutated monsters all over the forest. And Helias, with his strong strength, killed four fierce beasts in one person, and although he survived, he also suffered some minor injuries and his body was also damaged.
Suddenly, Ophelia looked grim and stretched out her hand in the direction of the woods, and a white arrow of light shot out. But when the light arrow immediately shot into the woods, it suddenly changed direction, drew a large arc, and turned back the way it came.
Ophelia frowned, and raised her hand to another light arrow, and the two arrows collided to cancel out. The interval between the two light arrows is less than a second, which should not be a skill, so it seems that Ophelia has mastered the energy system proficiently, which is very rare in the entry-level level.
Helias stood up and said aloud to the woods, "Since you are here, why don't you dare to show up?" As soon as the words fell, the air in front of the woods suddenly distorted, and in a moment three tributes were revealed, none other than Cato, Graf, and Moon Lake in the second district.
"Ophelia, known as the Song of the Soul, really lives up to her name, and she found someone so quickly!" Yuehu's voice was soft and charming, and there was some kind of magic in it, and ordinary men were afraid that they would want to get into trouble just listening to her. But for a master like Helias, such a charm technique is not yet in the stream.
"You're going to take advantage of my injury?" Helias sneered, "Even if I only have half a life left, I will be more than enough to deal with a thing like you!" ”
Yuehu smiled: "I naturally believe in Lord Helias's methods, but I don't like shouting and shouting to kill the most, so I didn't come to declare war this time......" As he spoke, Yuehu threw something over, and Helias reached out to catch it, and it turned out to be traumatic ointment.
"My sponsor seemed to be very considerate, and seeing that I was bitten by a wild dog, they sent this kind of thing. I've only used a little, and the rest should be enough to heal your injuries. Yuehu said, only to find that Helias sniffed suspiciously, and then checked up and down. Yuehu was suddenly a little dissatisfied: "Suspicion is the biggest disrespect for a lady, is Mr. Helias actually afraid of my woman's plot?" You can't use props here, how can you poison it, and the specific effect of the drug, as long as you scan it with the badge, it will be clear at a glance? ”
Helias raised his eyes and glanced at Moon Lake, and said with a sneer: "I don't think that the female who wins by indiscriminate exchange is worthy of the title of 'lady'!" After saying that, he didn't look at Moon Lake's angry eyes and handed the ointment to Ophelia. The song of the pious soul stirred the ointment with her fingers, closed her eyes for a moment, and then nodded, and then Helias was relieved to apply the ointment to the affected area.
This special ointment can heal wounds within a few hours, even if it is used by ordinary people. For adventurers with special physiques, the medicinal effect is even stronger, as the ointment penetrates into the skin little by little, Helias's wound heals at a speed visible to the naked eye, but in a few tens of seconds, it begins to scab.
Although he was amazed by the miraculous effect of the medicine, Helias did not thank the Moon Lake who came to deliver the medicine, because he knew that this woman deliberately showed favor and must have a plan.
"Tell me, what's the matter with you?" Helias asked straight to the point.
Yuehu smiled and didn't sell it: "My partner, Krlayev is dead!" ”
"I know!" Helias said with some regret: "I saw his picture appear on the dome an hour ago, he is a very powerful man, I also hope to compete with him, but now I don't have a chance......"
"He was killed by someone in one hit!" Yuehu's expression was stern: "And it's still in the case of an advantage in numbers!" ”
"What?" Helias's face changed in disbelief.
