Chapter 65: Geothermal

Winged snakes are very rare, and although they do not fly high, they are much more difficult to trap than ordinary snakes.

Now that winter is approaching, the snake before hibernation is as fierce as it was in spring.

Flower scorpions are already quite cautious, but snakes are difficult to watch out for, let alone winged snakes.

This situation, even if it is encountered during the day, is not very easy to deal with, and it is still night.

The rider was bitten by a poisonous snake, cut off his own arm, and withdrew from the ranks of the adventurers.

She was able to wait for the dark sky in the danger zone, but she actually took a considerable risk.

But after Qu Jianlei dragged her aside, he raised his hand and slashed out, and a winged snake more than three meters long fell to the ground.

The flower scorpion looked at the man next to him in amazement, "That's it...... Just kill it? ”

"What else is needed?" Qu Jianlei looked at her strangely, "Shouting a slogan or something?" ”

The flower scorpion was stunned for a moment, but still sighed sincerely, "It's really a good skill, is there a crystal?" ”

"C-grade, what do you say?" Qu Jianlei replied casually, "The film can be sold for some money, if you want it, you can take it." ”

On the body of this winged snake, that is, the film is worth a little money, and nothing else is worth anything, and the meat cannot be eaten.

The flower scorpion actually cut off the two wings of the winged snake.

It has nothing to do with personal economic conditions, all adventurers in the wasteland are the same, and they don't waste any resources that can be used.

She put away her wings and walked for a while before she asked, "Are you so easy to fight C-level mutant beasts?" ”

She doesn't lack experience in fighting mutant beasts, not to mention C-level, B-level has also fought many times, but it's all team battles.

But it's still very rare for a person to fight a C-level mutant beast, and most of the time it's a sudden encounter.

And the C-level winged snake was no easier to deal with than the B-level mutant beast, but it was slashed by the other party.

Qu Jianlei didn't reply at all, so he didn't hear it - is there anything to show off?

Until dawn, the two still didn't go to the place, and the flower scorpion was panting, and his eyes were already full of resentment.

She suggested, "We have to take a break, I may be dragging my feet......"

"But as you'll know later, I'm not the kind of person who just drags his feet."

"Let's go," Qu Jianlei was unmoved, "ahead is the territory of the purple-blooded arrow fox, and at dawn, they are basically asleep. ”

The purple-blooded arrow fox is also a mutant beast, the one that does not enter the rank, and the fox king may be C-level.

This thing has spikes on its body, and its fur is useless, not only is it not worth hunting, but it is often in groups, so it is better to avoid it directly.

It was about in the afternoon that the two came to Qu Jianlei's hideout.

It is already more than 100 kilometers deep into the "Extreme Danger Zone".

"No wonder others can't find you," the flower scorpion sighed, and then said, "There is actually a water heater?" I'll take a shower first. ”

Qu Jianlei bowed slightly, he also likes to love clean partners.

Although this temporary place is simple, he has been trapped here for so long, and he has built it more or less, and the living conditions are not bad.

The two took a bath one after another, and Qu Jianlei took out the pot to heat up the stew he had made earlier.

Although there are a lot of meat floss, before the cold winter has completely fallen, you still have to eat fresh before you can catch wild animals.

"You're not bad," the scorpion exclaimed, and then stared thoughtfully at his face.

Qu Jianlei was stared at a little inexplicably, "What are you looking at?" ”

Both of them have taken off their face towels, and the scorpion's complexion is slightly dark, and his face is a little weathered, but he is still pretty.

Hearing this, her face flushed slightly, she naturally couldn't say it, she didn't expect you to look quite handsome.

She lowered her head to eat, "How do I feel, what stupid thing you told them...... Kind of? ”

She said it casually, but she really said it without thinking about it.

Qu Jianlei didn't care.

In this year, he has not lacked food, not only has he grown taller but also fatter - or stronger, not the same thin and dry as he used to be.

While munching on meat, he replied casually, "In the future, the name Heitian will not be used, call me Panda." ”

"Panda ......" The flower scorpion thought for a moment, sure that he had never heard of this creature, it was a bear and a cat?

But she didn't ask, just bowed slightly, "Then my name is ...... Yellow scorpions? ”

It's all too normal for adventurers to change their nicknames casually.

Qu Jianlei felt that it was more appropriate for her to change her name to "Black Scorpion", but there was no need to say this.

After eating and drinking, Qu Jianlei went to sleep in the mecha - the transport mecha was so good, and he could sleep in the storage cabin.

The flower scorpion said that he could be on duty at night, and in the second half of the night, he would ...... Can you rotate in the dark?

Qu Jianlei replied indifferently: You can also sleep, I have installed a lot of early warning devices outside.

The flower scorpion was not polite when he heard this, cleaned up a storage cabin, and went to sleep in it.

Both of them worked hard enough, and they slept until almost noon the next day.

After packing up their belongings, it was almost evening, and when it was dark, the two of them began to set off and walk deeper into the mountains.

At first, Hua Scorpion also said that she could walk, but after walking for less than half an hour, she decisively decided to lie down in the storage cabin.

In the mountains, the walking speed is too slow, and it is more convenient to be a mecha.

Qu Jianlei controlled the mecha to move at a constant speed, and it could travel about thirty kilometers per hour.

It's not that it can't be faster, but this speed output power is more economical, and the sound is smaller.

By daybreak, we had traveled almost two hundred kilometers.

This is just the way out, the straight-line distance is not even fifty kilometers, and most of the time, I am actually looking for a way.

When the sky was bright, Qu Jianlei began to look for a place to live.

It's not hard to find a place like this in the mountains, and when he finds it, he starts digging with a robotic arm.

Although Flower Scorpion is an adventurer who has been accumulating years, it is also the first time to see the construction of a mecha.

She couldn't help but sigh, "With mecha, it's much easier to survive in the mountains." ”

Qu Jianlei muttered, "It's good, it's just too energy-consuming." ”

The mecha quickly digs a large hole where he can hide, and he controls the mecha to walk in, and the flower scorpion camouflages the hole.

The two of them were alert enough to the flying mechs that could appear at any time.

The days passed like this, and after a month, the mecha traveled almost a thousand kilometers in a straight line.

On the way, they also encountered beasts and mutant beasts, among which there was also an A-class mutant beast, which was a huge horned eagle.

However, Qu Jianlei didn't fight, but relied on standing still to get the other party away, and this process took him two days.

He didn't consider the factors of mutation crystallization for the time being, mainly because the meat of the horned eagle could not be eaten, and it was difficult to fight.

He believes that there is no need to waste precious energy blocks here.

He wasn't sure how far he would have to go to get out of the mountain, so it was time to conserve resources.

In fact, half a month after entering the mountain, he stopped digging holes.

Digging a hole consumes too much energy block, and it is impossible for a flying mech to go so far into the mountains.

That is to rush during the day and choose a relatively safe place to rest in place at night.

At this time, Qu Jianlei was really a little grateful to Hunting Wind.

If he hadn't heard the news of the mecha, this endless mountain range would really be difficult to break into.

And ordinary combat mechs may not be suitable, or this transport mecha is the best to use.

At the beginning of the month, they encountered a strong cold spell.

The endless mountains in winter are already difficult to walk, and even more difficult to walk after the cold wave, and the mountains and rocks are slippery and windy.

It's also a mecha, and if it's a human, you can only choose a cave to hide.

After walking like this for a day, Qu Jianlei chose a sheltered place in the evening and released the flower scorpion.

He thinks he can't go on like this, the energy blocks are depleting too quickly, and it is necessary to find a place to hide.

The face of the flower scorpion is a little unsightly, because it means ...... They may not be able to make it out of the Endless Mountains.

But the words of the dark sky are really reasonable, so she said: choose a place with a water source to rest.

They carry enough cartridges and paper, but they are always self-circulating...... It feels really bad.

And many of the mountain springs in the Endless Mountains are unpolluted and can be drunk.

Qu Jianlei also agreed with her suggestion, and the mountain spring that can be drunk means that there may be animals to drink the water.

So their task the next day was not to hurry, but to find a reliable source of water.

After another two days, they finally chose a water source - there were still fish and shrimp frozen in the ice, and the fish and shrimp did not mutate.

Nearby, they actually found a cave where a group of black-backed golden apes lived.

The battle broke out in an instant.

The black-backed golden ape's body is extremely hard and powerful, and it is a social animal, making it a first-class difficult to mess with among C-level mutant beasts.

Fortunately, Qu Jianlei is alert enough, and the left hand of the mecha is a vehicle-mounted Gauss machine gun, and the right hand is a long knife.

The Overclocking Oscillator was barely able to split the golden ape's fur.

This is also thanks to the use of mechas, with the strength of ordinary people, even if they are holding long knives, they may not be able to break the opponent's defenses.

To really kill the golden ape, you have to count on the on-board machine gun.

The effect of the electromagnetic cannon is definitely better, but Qu Jianlei doesn't want to collapse the cave, and there are not many shells for the electromagnetic cannon.

There were a total of seventeen black-backed golden apes, large and small, and it took Qu Jianlei a full three hours to end the battle.

If he wasn't equipped with a mecha, even if four or five of him were tied together, he would have to be killed by the other party.

The long knives were completely destroyed, which didn't matter, and more than 300 rounds of machine-gun ammunition were used, which was equivalent to one-fifth of the stockpile.

But the good thing is that the meat of the golden ape is edible, and it is not unpalatable.

Then he explored the cave a little more, only to find that the cave was seven or eight hundred meters long.

What's even more amazing is that the deepest part of the cave is actually very warm, even hot.

Even the flower scorpion was stunned, "What's going on?" ”

Qu Jianlei didn't know very well, but he could roughly give a guess, "It should be...... Terrestrial heat? ”

However, these two words do touch the blind spot of Hua Scorpion's knowledge, "What is geothermal heat?" ”
