Verse 50: The herds fight
The boy immediately stopped and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
After the consternation, joy began to spread in his heart.
In the middle of the night, his eyes seemed to be shining.
"Kill it! and take the blood to drink. ”
"I'm dying of thirst. ”
Needle Gold cried out in his heart.
But in an instant, the joy in his heart faded a little, and the hesitation gave rise to a blockbuster.
"From a distance, the beast was huge. It seemed to be lying on the sand, but even then, it was more than two meters tall. ”
"It's so far away that its breath can't be felt. Seems to have converged?"
"With such a large physique, it is not easy to survive in the desert. This means that it is powerful. ”
"If it's a silver-level, no, even a black-iron level demonic beast, then I'm very dangerous!"
On this extremely dangerous island, gold-level magical beasts are not uncommon.
Needle Jin hesitated for a few breaths before making a decision.
He still chose to attack!
Because without food and water, his condition will get worse and worse. Deserts are barren and vast, unlike rainforest forests. If Needle Gold gave up this opportunity, then he would want to meet the right prey for him to hunt later?
This is not a big chance at all.
Therefore, it is wiser to attack at this time while he still has physical strength.
"If you encounter danger, you can only hope for the ability to mutate suddenly. ”
Needle Gold gritted his teeth secretly, bent over, slowed down, and quietly approached the giant beast.
In the darkness, the body of the giant beast seemed to be clumped together, motionless.
The distance was close enough, and the expression of needle gold suddenly changed slightly, and most of the nervous and vigilant expressions suddenly dissipated.
"It turned out to be just a boulder. ”
Needle Gold let out a cloudy breath and strolled close to what he thought he had thought was a "giant beast".
Although he is physically excellent, he is still human at heart, and his vision is greatly affected at night. If it was a dark elf, they would have seen it clearly, so they wouldn't have caused such a misunderstanding.
Needle Gold looked at the boulder in front of him.
The boulder is oval in shape and stands silently in the dark. The surface of the boulder shimmers faintly with a slight metallic luster, but it is pitted, completely insulated from the word "smooth", and there are countless small and dense potholes.
What's weird is that from these small pits like sesame seeds, a warm breath constantly comes out.
The needle froze for a moment, and Cangsu's previous words came to mind.
"Is this the granite granite?"
Meneissite is a mixture of iron, gold, earth, and many other minerals. Depending on the origin, the composition of glematic granite and the proportion between the components are different.
The exploration team has also encountered large groups of golden neiss, and it is initially inferred from Cangxu that these golden neiss contain rich gold.
Unfortunately, to extract gold from the huge and heavy granite, specific means are required.
The expedition team didn't have the ability to extract it, and of course the most important thing they had to do was to save themselves and then find water and food to be given to the camp.
"There are often groups of granites, but here there is only one. ”
Needle Gold stroked the surface of the boulder with his hand, feeling both lost and happy.
He was disappointed that there was no food and water to be found, but he was also lucky to have found a piece of granite graniss.
This boulder is exposed to the sun during the day, absorbing heat and storing it in the stone core, even in the cold and biting night of the desert, the granite is still very warm.
This solved a big problem for the needle.
His clothes looked very thin in the middle of the night.
Just now, he was still worried about the materials that didn't make a fire, but now he can directly rely on this boulder to protect the heat and resist the harsh cold.
The night passed like this, but when he opened his eyes again, he found that the sun was already shining on the horizon.
It's dawn.
Needle Gold moved his hands and feet a little, and he was pleased to find that his fitness had recovered a lot, and he had rested well last night.
His body was fully respited, and his spirit was calmed down by the abundance of time.
What made him feel relieved was that he was not sleeping, but always on his guard and nervous.
He woke up two or three times during the night, all because the cold wind howling in the desert night was too strong, and it exceeded the warning line in his heart.
When he woke up, he quickly fell asleep again.
He was very satisfied with that.
"It seems like I've had this kind of training, or have had this experience, to be able to stay asleep and alert at the same time. ”
It's not easy to do that.
Needle Gold has a new understanding of himself.
And this time Needle Gold woke up because he heard strange voices again.
The movement was coming from the northeast.
"The sound is weird, it seems to be a snake?"
The granite inhabited by needle gold, located on the waist of the sand dunes. As soon as the thought of needle gold moved, he slowed down and cautiously approached the top of the dune.
At the top, he slowly sticks his head out and observes.
It was dawn and the light wasn't very bright.
First of all, what caught his eye was pieces of golden granite. There are hundreds of stones, spaced at different intervals and of different sizes, as if they were chess pieces, placed on a chessboard made of dunes.
This undoubtedly confirms Cangsu's words - things like granite appear in pieces. The piece of granite inhabited by needle gold is only the most marginal piece.
Then, the pupils of the needle shrank slightly.
He saw two herds of beasts facing each other in the golden neiss.
One herd is a green-skinned lizard, and the other is a golden-colored scorpion.
Lizards are as large as war horses, and scorpions are smaller.
The lizard hisses like a snake, while the scorpion makes a squirming sound, and both intimidate the other.
The needle is woken up, which is a mixture of these two sounds.
The needle's heart tightened.
He sensed the breath of life of these two fierce beasts, the lizard and the scorpion were at least at the black iron level, and the leaders of the beast group led by them were all silver level.
"Not counting mutations, a single silver-level demonic beast can bring me a deadly threat. ”
"If the Black Iron Monster reaches a certain number, it can also cost me my life. ”
The principle of mutation has not yet been explored.
He couldn't use his fighting spirit now, his prayers were not answered, he didn't have any armor on his body, and the only thing that gave him some comfort was the weapon in his hand.
But this silver-level weapon has also been worn out over time.
The feet and limbs of the Blade Spider are indeed excellent materials for crafting weapons. But the material must be treated in order to stabilize the magic in it and retain its sharpness.
And the needle gold is simply used, shoddy, and has not been dealt with at all. Over time, this spider-foot sword will get weaker and weaker.
Therefore, the needle gold did not act rashly, and squatted in place and quietly observed.
He didn't know why the two herds were facing each other. Either way, he didn't want to provoke.
The boy peeked and prayed to himself, "If these two herds start a fight, maybe it will create an opportunity for me to harvest some food." ”
As if hearing the prayer of the needle, the two beasts that were about to move finally got impatient and began to clash.
But instead of a large-scale engagement, the leader of the herd swooped into the center of the battlefield alone and engaged in a one-on-one battle.
"Sa!"
The green-skinned lizard let out a strange scream, then opened its mouth to spit out a stream of thick green acid.
The acid hit the golden scorpion directly.
The golden scorpion immediately blocked itself in front of it with huge pincers, like a shield, and successfully protected its eyes.
呲呲......
A puff of white smoke immediately rose from the surface of the two giant pincers of the golden scorpion.
Needle Gold narrowed his eyes, and he keenly noticed that some acid splashed on the golden granite, and within a few breaths, it corroded the golden granite into a fist-sized hole!
"If this is sprayed on my body, without the fighting qi to protect my body, I am afraid that after two or three breaths, I will only have bones left. ”
What made Needle Gold's heart slightly relieved was that after squirting out this large stream of acid, the lizard leader immediately became sluggish and took the initiative to retreat.
It is clear that this acid is not its usual means of combat.
However, the lizard retreated, and the golden scorpion moved faster.
The two quickly approached.
The green-skinned lizard immediately opened its mouth and let out a strange cry again, as if it was about to spew out green liquid again.
But the golden scorpion was even more cunning, and had already lifted its pincers in front of him.
At the same time, it cocks its scorpion tail at least two meters long and stabs it fiercely!
The scorpion tail is sharp, like the head of a knight's spear.
The green-skinned lizard's skull was pierced directly by the scorpion's tail, piercing a huge hole deep into the skull.
It's a fatal trauma!
With a successful blow, the golden scorpion immediately retreated.
The retreat was very rapid.
From the round hole above the green-skinned lizard's head, like a fountain, white brains mixed with pale green blood gushed out.
The leader of the green-skinned lizard hissed violently, and at the last moment, it erupted in a furious attack.
The corrosive green liquid in his mouth gushed out again, inaccurate, like a pillar of green light sweeping at random.
The huge granite was swept away, and immediately a thick white smoke rose with a clattering sound, and then melted in the sunlight like snow.
The green-skinned lizards of the same clan were also affected, and the lizard group fell into a panic, and the unlucky ghosts let out screams, and some of their feet and limbs were corroded, revealing white bones. Some have eyes, and are frantically plunging into the sand, trying to save themselves.
There were also a small number of golden scorpions that were attacked by the green liquid, and their carapaces quickly softened, and after a few breaths, only the end of the scorpion's tail remained.
Silver-level golden scorpions can resist green liquor, but most of the black iron golden scorpions can't.
Fortunately, the outbreak of the green-skinned lizard only lasted a few breaths.
Soon, the green liquid in its mouth did not spew out.
Having lost their leader, the green-skinned lizards retreated. The golden scorpion swarm was victorious, but did not chase after it as the needle had calculated.
After the golden scorpions drove away the green-skinned lizards, they even abandoned their corpses and surrounded them with golden granites in twos and threes.
In the astonished gaze of the needle gold, these golden scorpions first poked with their scorpion tails, pierced through the golden granite, and together shattered the huge golden granite.
Then, with their huge pincers, they clattered the granite scattered in the sand into smaller pieces.
Finally, they put these pieces of granite into the mouth and chew them constantly.
"It turns out that these golden granites are the food of these golden scorpions?" Looking at the scene in front of him, the needle gold was thoughtful.
Needle Gold couldn't help but roll his Adam's apple.
He watched the golden scorpions gulp down their food, and his hunger and thirst were stimulated even more intensely.
He waited patiently.
The golden scorpion ate for more than half an hour, and finally staggered away, leaving a wreckage behind.
After confirming the safety, Needle Gold rushed to the original battlefield with excitement.
Those monsters that were shot by acid and killed were inedible.
But the lizard leader had squirted out of acid, drained of blood and brains, and still had intact flesh.
Needlegold used the weapon in his hand to cut open the lizard's leader and obtain its flesh.
Needle Gold just slept and watched a fight, and the food suddenly became abundant!
"But I'm short of water. ”
"Can I encounter such luck again?"
The young man's excitement and joy gradually calmed down.
There was also some residual acid, which the needle had carefully stained with his own weapon.
Needle Gold waited patiently for a moment, and found that the silver-level spider blade was still as rigid and sharp as ever, and he was slightly relieved.
At this point, the sun begins to show its horizon, and the vision of the needle gold is getting better and better.
Temperatures are starting to rise.
Needle Jin knew that this was a rare time to hurry, and he was about to set off, when suddenly his pupils shrank fiercely.
"This is?!"
A pink color appeared in his field of vision, which shocked him.
