Chapter 5: The Eater of Extremes
Roman's heart sank when he received the prompt, which was not what he wanted to see.
He took out his map and found that he was still five kilometers away from his destination, and he had planned to find a vantage point, set up a bait and an ambush, and hunt the Eater of Extremes.
Because no human being, except for wizards, can face the Eater head-on.
Without the help of a sorcerer, Roman relied only on his own knightly strength, and if he wanted to hunt the Eater Beast, he had to rely on external forces.
But now, he had encountered the Extreme Eater in advance, and the first thing he thought about was whether he could avoid it.
However, looking at the map again, the direction in which the Eater of Poles appeared was exactly the direction in which Roman was heading to his destination.
"I can't help it, I'll have to take a detour......" Roman said helplessly, "I hope you don't find me before I arrive." ”
Roman muttered to himself as he changed direction, he wasn't sure how strong the Eater's perception was and if he could spot him, but he had no choice but to hope for luck.
Roman wrapped the horse's hooves in cotton cloth, and the horse's mouth held a wooden stick, and gently drove the way, wrapped the canvas of the two large cages behind him tightly, stuffed cotton in key parts to ensure that no sound came out, and sprinkled corpse repellent powder along the road to ensure that no smell came out.
To do all this, Roman gently drove the carriage and walked a long distance, during which the chip kept monitoring.
In this way, Roman walked a long way, and the chip reported that the position of the devourer had not changed, like a beast that took a nap after eating.
Roman followed the map, took the Pole Eater as the center of the circle, spared a long circle, and was about to successfully bypass the Pole Eater.
At this moment, an accident suddenly occurred, and a violent explosion appeared in the distance, and the earth shook.
The chip made a slight estimate, and the conclusion he came to made Roman's heart tighten.
The explosion occurred in a straight line with Roman and Eater, with Roman in the middle and Eater and Explosion at both ends.
In other words, if the Pole Eater wanted to go to the explosion site to find out, it would have to pass by Roman's location.
At this time, an alarm came from the chip: "Didi! Alert! Pole Eater is approaching, Pole Eater is approaching. ”
"Damn! Who the hell got the explosion! It can't be Amber's boy! Roman cursed loudly, but he couldn't hide his actions, and drove the carriage faster.
However, pulling the two iron cages, the advance speed was still too slow compared to the Eater of Poles, and Roman did not have time to escape from the perception range of the Eaters of Poles.
Soon, the advancing Eater sensed Roman's presence and smelled the fragrance of life-like essence.
Compared to explosions, the essence of life is the meaning of its existence.
So it immediately turned around and killed in the direction of Roman, and the distance between the two sides was constantly shortening.
The chip kept warning, and Roman was dumbfounded, and a cold breath was rising in his heart, with his current state, there was no life or death for the Upper Devourer.
But fortunately, he had a plan, although it may not work, but this is the best solution after many inquiries in advance.
He untied the horse's leash and jerked it at the horse's buttocks, and several horses immediately scattered in all directions.
The chip immediately sent feedback, and the Polar Eater stopped, and in his perception, the originally rich life essence was divided into four, and it didn't know which way to chase for a while.
Taking advantage of this gap, Roman immediately burst out of his knightly power, pulled the cart himself, and rushed to the destination.
This time luck was on Roman's side, and after a moment's hesitation, the Eater chose the nearest horse and pursued it.
Roman let out a long breath as he walked away from the Eater, scolding the man who had caused the explosion as he hurried his way.
In a few moments, he reached his destination, a lunar-like sandy field full of craters.
Every once in a while, wizards would go out to the Manna biome to clean up the Eaters of Extreme Beasts to make sure they didn't pose a threat.
And this is a newly formed battlefield, and the deep pits all over the place are the traces of the wizard's spell bombardment, and the residual magic aura on it will provoke the instinctive retreat of the Eater Beast.
It's like a dung pit without gold, and the Pole Eater won't come here without particularly tempting prey.
However, with gold it is different, Roman took out a small cage with a ball of flesh covered with tentacles.
The meat balls are bright red, the tentacles are pink, and the tentacles are waving slowly, as if performing a gorgeous dance.
This is the Flower of Mana, and it is said that part of the life essence absorbed by the Eater is fed back to the Flower of Mana, that is, the Flower of Mana itself stores the essence of life.
Carrying the Flower of Mana, Roman came to the bottom of the pit, where the cage containing the walking corpses and lickers had long been placed at the bottom of the pit, and the door of the cage was connected to a pulley rope.
After making sure everything was in order, Roman drew his knight's sword and stabbed it hard at the Mana flower, and the blue liquid flowed out like a cracked fruit.
After the blue liquid flows on the ground, it turns into a blue mist, which slowly emits, which is the essence of life.
The next moment, a prompt came from the chip: "Didi! Pole Eater detected approaching ......"
"It worked!" Roman was full of excitement, the Pole Eater had a keen perception of the life essentia, and the life essence on the Mana Flower passed, and the Pole Eater naturally wanted to recover it.
Roman immediately hid behind a large rock, holding two ropes in his hands, and after a while, the mountains shook and a multi-meter-tall Eater appeared.
The Eater landed on all fours, glanced around vigilantly, and slowly walked towards the Flower of Mana, and when it saw the evaporated life essence, it immediately pounced forward and sucked it up, ignoring nothing else.
The essence of life turned into a mist and was inhaled by the Pole Eater like a smoke, and the Eater of Pole Eater had an intoxicated look on its face.
At the same time, in the iron cage on the side, the walking corpse and the licker became extremely excited, constantly hitting the iron cage, as if they had seen the most tempting food.
The Eater of Poles didn't care about them, the life essence was too tempting to allow its barren brain to think about anything else.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Roman pulled the rope in his hand hard, and the door of the iron cage opened, and nearly a hundred walking corpses and lickers pounced towards the Eater of Extremes.
The virus gene has been modified by wizards, and all the walking corpses and mutant beasts crave not only human flesh, but also the flesh of the Extreme Devourer.
Compared to Roman, who sprinkled corpse repellent powder and hid far away, in the same deep pit, the closer Eater Beast smelled more fragrant and more attractive.
The Licker pounced on the Eater, gnawing desperately, its sharp claws digging madly at the Eater's flesh.
The walking corpses on the side also swarmed up, gnawing hard at the huge Pole Eater.
The Eater flung desperately and let out a sharp howl, and in a fit of rage, it threw a licker flying and killed several walking corpses in one kick.
In normal times, the Eater will try its best to avoid fighting with mutant beasts and walking corpses, because the products of the virus ecology are all walking corpses, and there is no trace of life essence.
Instead, after the genetic engineering of wizards, mutant beasts and walking corpses like to eat the flesh and blood of the Pole Eater, which causes the Pole Eater to become a thankless task for the walking corpse and the mutant beast.
It can be said that if it weren't for the big difference in combat power, the Pole Eater would have been eaten up long ago, just like right now, the Pole Eater punches a child, just like a strong man breaking into the Nanshan Nursing Home and Beihai Kindergarten, killing all sides.
The Walking Corpse and the Mutant Beast are no match at all, but they are still moths to the flames, thinking about killing the Extreme Eater.
