Chapter 15 Leeches and Resources
The system seemed to suddenly hear Lin Ye's inner words, and began to explain to Lin Ye: "A represents mortal danger, and the host's current situation will not survive for a day. ”
At the same time, a corresponding regional risk assessment form appeared in Lin Ye's mind:
Regional Hazard Rating:
E: Safety: No matter how you die, you'll be fine.
D: Averagely, with a little care, you can survive.
C: Dangerous, can barely survive.
B: Extremely dangerous, unable to survive for more than ten days.
A: Fatally dangerous, unable to survive for more than a day.
S: Surely death.
For the first time, the system's rating list of areas appeared in front of Lin Ye's eyes, and it was accompanied by the danger evaluation of each area in the map that Lin Ye explored. Lin Ye explored a total of four areas, the first area is the Blood Moon Lake in the east, which is also Lin Ye's spawn point, with a danger score of B+, the second area is the dense forest where Lin Ye established a hideout, and the danger score is D+, the third area is the western swamp that he arrived through the dense forest, and the fourth area is the Cordyceps land here, which has a danger score of A!
Seeing this evaluation form, Lin Ye gasped. He had always thought that the dense forest he was staying in belonged to the Blood Moon Lake area, but now it seemed to be just a normal area with a danger score of D+.
"In view of the host's first entry into the A-level danger area, the system opens the novice teaching mode for it free of charge. The sound of the system became blurred, and then Lin Ye suddenly felt that there was something more in the picture in front of him. "You have temporarily gained the ability of the heart eye until you leave the cordyceps field. Since it is immediate, the effect of intuition is expressed in the form of pictures and sounds. ”
A blue ring mark appeared in Lin Ye's field of vision, as if he was wearing an AR device to enhance virtual reality. The ring moved in view, instantly latching onto the threat in the grass at great speed. Each time one is locked, the ring turns red, and another ring is split to start locking on to another threat in the frame.
Lin Ye seemed to be in a virtual environment, and within a range of 360 degrees around him, the blue ring marked Lin Ye uninterruptedly. Lin Ye looked around and found that in the dense grass, there was a large number of threats to Lai, and even Lin Ye did not notice it at that time.
A crisp auxiliary sound sounded, and only Lin Ye could hear it: "Twenty-six potential dangers have been discovered, distributed within three hundred meters of the host. ”
Heart Eye: Class B, able to perceive the presence of creatures around it, while discerning the danger level of the creatures, while greatly increasing the host's evasion rate and combat ability. Since it is not the host's own ability, the effect of the skill deteriorates to the sound and picture effect.
And this kind of operation?!
After hearing that the system had opened a novice teaching mode for him and allowed him to temporarily obtain a B-level ability, Lin Ye was overjoyed. His eyes flashed with blue light, and although his vision was obscured by the dense grass, the danger ahead had been marked, and he was no longer afraid.
Despite this, Lin Ye still walked forward little by little. His legs moved slowly, for fear of making a little noise. Through the dense grass, Lin Ye saw the nearest marked danger.
A large mosquito about the size of Lin Ye stopped in a dirty puddle, the gray translucent wings of this large mosquito shrunk behind its back, and its sharp mouthparts were like a steel needle. It didn't see Lin Ye, it quietly stopped on the puddle, stretched out its mouthparts to replenish the water in its body. Its abdomen was shriveled and it seemed to have not sucked blood for a long time, and the tentacles on its head were furry and oozing.
Lin Ye swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he had never seen such a big mosquito before. If he didn't have the B-level skill of Heart Eye, I'm afraid he would be the first to be discovered by this big mosquito.
The latter, as if waiting for something, did not fly into the air, but sat quietly on the edge of a puddle, his body obscured by the grass. There is a tiny red ring mark on the back of its neck, which seems to indicate that this is its weak point. And Lin Ye was right behind it.
It's a great sneak attack, and if you miss it, you won't have to!
The perfect opportunity for Lin Ye to pluck up his courage, he suddenly rushed out of the layers of grass, and before the big mosquito could react, Lin Ye had already pecked at the back of its neck, which accumulated all the strength of Lin Ye and ended the mosquito's life with a single peck. The latter's head fell down the puddle, and the headless body collapsed on the ground.
Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and he dragged the mosquito corpse into the grass. Then tear off the wings of the big mosquito and drape it over his body. If you want to survive here, it's not enough to rely on the skills given by the system.
In addition to the terrifying mosquitoes, there was a muddy puddle of water twenty meters away, and through the Mind Eye Skill, Lin Ye saw five red marks near the puddle.
Three mud-covered leeches hide in the grass, they are motionless, their brown skin and green spots blending perfectly with the ground. The other two leeches use their flat belly suction cups to stick to the half-meter-high blades of grass, and as soon as an animal passes underneath, they immediately release the blades of grass and pounce on the animal's skin with a Y-shaped spiral jaw mouthpiece.
Leeches, also known as leeches, suck blood for a living. And the Cretaceous leeches were ten times larger than what Lin Ye saw on TV.
The moment Lin Ye saw the leech, he immediately retracted his head suddenly. His fluffy hair stood on end, his chest rose and fell, and these leeches had shriveled abdomen and shrunk into a ball of tough rubber, but they could completely wrap him up! With Lin Ye's small body, as long as any one of them came to him, Lin Ye would be sucked to the point that there were no bones left.
On the edge of the puddle was the corpse of a giant mosquito, whose body had been hollowed out and turned into a dried corpse. The blood that this mosquito has managed to absorb is now a meal for leeches.
No wonder it's called Cordyceps! Lin Ye immediately had a clear understanding of the name of this area. The danger here comes from all kinds of terrifying insects, with the help of dense meadows, sneaking up on animals passing by one after another.
"Ding! Your map has reached 66% explorability, please keep exploring. The task system prompted. The system's prompt made Lin Ye's courage bigger. He is undoubtedly the weakest of the Cordyceps in this A-level dangerous area, but in order to achieve that 100% pioneering level, he can't be afraid of it.
Do you want to kill them?' Lin Ye suddenly had a thought that he couldn't even believe. But looking at the leech's glittering jaws, I couldn't help but shudder, and then thought that after all, this place had already been explored, so I should go around it.
However, just as Lin Ye was about to bypass this sinkhole, there was something in the sinkhole that emitted a faint yellow light. Because of the discerning eye, Lin Ye is very sensitive to yellow light. Where there is yellow light, there are resources that provide growth value! Lin Ye stared at the resources in the puddle, and stopped with his right foot that had retreated.
It's also something that can increase the growth value! Sure enough, where there is danger, there are opportunities!
Lin Ye was now very proficient in the use of the discerning eye, and through the intensity of the yellow light, Lin Ye deduced that the things in the water could provide him with about ten points of growth value, which was about the same as the growth value provided by the tree fruit.
Raising their heads, the two leeches were still lying quietly on the blades of grass, waiting for the animals that passed by. Their sharp spiral-jawed mouthparts are hungry and thirsty, ready to plunge into the animal's body and suck the blood out of it.
To go or not to go? is a question, and Lin Ye's actions answer this question straightforwardly.
Go, of course!
He slowly approached the murky puddle as he flung out the mosquito wings that were draped over his body. It smells of mosquitoes and floats in the air and flies past. The two leeches lying on the blades of grass immediately released their suckers, opened their shriveled bodies and flew towards the mosquito's wings.
They didn't notice that in the shadow of the mosquito's wings, a chick was stepping up its pace and sprinting 100 meters towards the puddle.
With a snap, the two leeches each hugged the wings of the mosquito flying in the air.
The three leeches on the edge of the puddle had a long reflex arc, and they only reacted when Lin Ye ran and jumped towards the puddle. They have no eyes, but they are sensitive to smell, vibration, and air movement. This is also why some mountaineers in real life can perfectly seize the short moment of passing by when they pass by the grass, and accurately pick up the human body.
A small splash of water splashed, the water was not deep, just enough to drown Lin Ye's thighs. The three leeches also immediately raised their heads slightly, and they jumped into the water one after another, their suckers twisting, and they actually swam up behind Lin Ye.
Lin Ye, on the other hand, flapped his wings, pulled the mud under the puddle with his legs, and headed towards the yellow light.
Three meters!
Two meters!
One meter!
Lin Ye lowered his head and took out the thing that emitted yellow light, and then immediately ran away. He fled in the opposite direction to the leech, and with the help of his heart's eye, Lin Ye quickly found a safe route. As his body jumped out of the water, Lin Ye let out a vague cheer while holding something in his mouth, and rushed into the grass.
The three leeches who had only now swam to the middle of the water were stunned when they saw Lin Ye running faster than them. They don't understand why the bird was just passing by this little puddle and seemed to have spotted them from the start.
