Chapter 4: The Swamp of Dead Silence
Escape!
The body that turned into the posture of the beautiful jaw dragon, driven by the will of the earth, lifted its claws, and its slender and strong legs and claws quickly swept up.
The vertical pupils in his pupils contracted, not because he was fleeing towards the entrance of the crypt and facing the light falling from the entrance of the crypt, but because of the excitement of being in danger.
The slender tail shook in quick succession with the slender hind limbs, which were much longer than the forelimbs, balancing his body.
You can't run around. After attracting the other party to the vicinity, immediately flee to the entrance of the crypt and escape from the entrance of the crypt -
The power of the body instinctively drives more intensely in the face of the fear of a dangerous enemy.
His hind claws kicked a piece of gravel as it lifted rapidly.
Syllable!
The gravel slammed into the stone wall of the crypt in front of him, causing a loud echo, and at this point, his body came to a sharp halt and turned towards the position in front of him.
As much as he doesn't like gambling, can the enemy really be so easily attracted to attention?
......
Hagu heard the voice, as did his mount, the Toothed Dragon Lizard Hodu.
Hodu pounced directly at the place where the voice sounded.
However, the kobold Hagu immediately pulled the reins and led it in the other direction.
There is no shortage of cunning predators and prey in the underworld, and in this lack of light, sound is often the most common means of misleading prey and hunters.
On more than one occasion, he also misled his prey by sounding and allowing his prey to flee to his location.
Although he was affected by the sound of Hodu's footsteps, he could still faintly hear that the sound of hitting the cave wall was obviously not flesh and blood, nor the sound of stepping on some hard object, but the sound of throwing stones and hitting them!
Haku is not so easily misled!
The kobold's dilating pupils, which could catch more subtle light, swept to the front left, and its cunning, peeping prey was more likely to flee to the other side!
In his right hand, he clenched the bone axe staff, and the bloodstained snout opened and closed, symbolizing the sour breath of the black dragonborn, ready to squirt out at any moment.
With the roar of the tusk's claws stomping on the crypt floor, the kobold warlock was ready to attack.
However, as soon as he had run a hundred meters, his ears caught the faint sound coming from the side in the noisy footsteps.
He couldn't help but turn his head to see a strange, lizard-like creature emerge from about six or seven positions and quickly run towards the entrance to the crypt.
Although he didn't recognize what kind of lizard it was, he immediately opened his mouth, and a sour breath mixed with a little impurity spewed out, marking a trajectory—
That little thing can't dodge it, like the snake tail rat just now......?
Hagu's thoughts stalled slightly in the next moment.
Because, the two-legged lizard, as soon as his acid breath came out, turned to dodge!?
The acid that splashed on the ground did not touch the other party's body.
Its perception is keen!? How did you notice it?
I didn't notice that it had a backward action, prediction? Or is there a commander?
Minions? Or enslaved creatures?
Hagu's head immediately turned, swept to the rest of the crypt, and clenched the bone axe staff in his hand, trying to search for the enemies hidden in the crypt.
However, he did not find the desired goal.
......
On the barren land, patches of trees stand sparsely.
And on the periphery of the woods, a series of swamps surround the woods.
A group of humanoids, a group of slender humanoids with pointed ears to be exact, were approaching the swamp.
"Captain Ayndor, are we really going into the swamp? You wouldn't really plan to enter the Undead Wasteland, would you? ”
Hearing this, the tall male elf stopped and turned his gaze back from the swampy forest in front of him:
"I haven't been so self-conscious, the wasteland of the undead, the ancient battlefield that turned the six empires and the twelve kingdoms into the current four empires and four kingdoms, breeding I don't know how many immortals."
"It took hundreds of years for the Four Empires and Four Kingdoms to shrink the Undead Wasteland, and with our numbers, if we want to come back safe and sound after entering, without the strength of the Elven Kingdom, that is to seek death."
The few elves who followed him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, however, at this time, the captain's voice sounded again:
"But we must also eliminate the undead who are constantly breeding, or it will be a disaster for us in winter."
Elven Captain Eindor looked in the direction of the swamp and said in a deep voice:
"The swamp can make those weak undead directly drown and disappear in the swamp completely, but if we wait until winter, then we will face countless undead who cross the swamp and attack the tree wall."
"The swamp is our natural barrier to keep out the weak undead, but occasionally there are stronger undead or even weaker undead who are 'lucky' to pass through the swamp, even if we can't destroy them, we have to confirm their number, so that the troops in charge of cleaning up do not waste time and are prepared."
Hearing these words, the other elves behind him were slightly silent, and the elves who first asked asked:
"Captain...... Why do the undead focus on attacking the elven kingdom every time? ”
"For we are the spirits, the creatures of the 'God of Life,' the people of God who symbolize the 'life.'"
Elven Captain Eindor, who had answered this question many times, said, and looked at the swamp with a slightly confused look, as if his gaze had penetrated the swamp to reach the undead wasteland, which was considered a forbidden place for the living.
Why are the living and the immortal opposites?
Even if the immortal has no vitality, can they still exist in this world? Isn't it another form of life?
Various dragon races and subordinate dragons of the Dragon Empire, giant beast races and subordinate beasts of the Beast Empire, elemental races of the Elemental Empire, and aquatic races of the Deep Sea Empire.
The forest elves, elves and a few elves of the Elven Kingdom, the dwarven dwarf goblins of the Dwarven Kingdom, the giants and humans of the Human Kingdom, and the various races of the Scarlet Kingdom that have mixed together after the destruction of several empires and countless kingdoms.
And...... They are also remnants of destroyed kingdoms, but hate the enemies who destroyed their country, and hide in various underground races in the crypts scattered around the world.
Isn't it all life?
Why do the undead hate life so much? Why do you hate elves in particular?
Is it just because the elves are the creatures of the legendary god of life?
However, there was no one here who could answer his question.
Taking a deep breath, in the slightly humid air, Eindor ordered:
"Cheer up, search for the undead, don't relax, alternate vigilance!"
"Yes!"
.......
Two hundred meters away from the exit of the crypt, on the highest tree in the nearby area, carefully dodging the various enemies, a creature with a greenish body, hiding among the leaves, poked its head out slightly, looking at the surrounding area.
Earthwalk's gaze swept over his surroundings.
"A forest in the middle of a swamp?"
The location of the crypt is a hilly terrain that rises above the surrounding ground, with undulating heights, and the highest position is about 200 meters higher? It's a bit of a grave pile, and the area is not too big, but let him estimate, he can't estimate it, it's about the size of the township in the previous life?
However, the difference in the size of different towns in his previous life could even reach a hundred times, which is not a good reference object to describe.
And on the edge of this hill, there seems to be a large swamp.....
On the border between the swamp and the hills, there seems to be a swampy forest, and there seem to be a few small swampy forests in some of the lower places in the middle of this hill.
This area may have been a lake before? And where he is located, is the island in the lake? That swamp is the result of the lake's receding water?
With a blink of an eye, the jaw-dwelling dragon walked on the ground and turned its gaze downward.
That kobold is the undoubted enemy to him.
When he escaped, he used [Material Mining] to check the underground in the surrounding area.
In the outside area, no fossils of dinosaur remains can be found.
If he wanted to use the fossilized dinosaur remains, he would have to return to the previous crypt.
Of course, he can also do otherwise-
Since there are such creatures as kobolds, this world is probably a fantasy world.
Dinosaurs are just ordinary creatures, and a variety of fantasy creatures with fantasy powers may be a better choice than ordinary creatures?
His gaze swept over the familiar panel again—
[Deployment Core] [Core Change] [Core Posture]
[Fabrication Guard] [Extended Core] [Material Mining]
【Core Research】【Incubation Research】【Artificial Evolution】
[Core Unit] [Incubation Unit] [Guardian Unit]
【Incubation Illustrated Book】【Label Illustrated Book】【Material Inventory】
The posture of this jaw-like dragon is too fragile.
You need to become stronger first so that you have a certain amount of combat effectiveness.
As for the establishment of the dungeon force, although he is the core and has the highest status in theory, will the guards he has hatched really completely obey his command?
This is the real world, not a game, if it was a real creature, would it listen to him completely?
Either way, he's going to hatch the guards.
Because......
[Main Core] tag, so that the guard unit can provide him with the maximum HP, and the extended core provides him with additional energy.
If you want to make good use of the power you bring, then you need a certain amount of combat power, and you need a force that can rule as a guarantee.
Then, [core research] and [artificial evolution] are the focus.
[Core Unit: Main Core (1)]
He opened the [Core Unit] icon to check his status.
【Dungeon Core (Main)】
[For protected units with no combat capabilities, the destruction of the main core represents the destruction of the dungeon]
[Core HP: 5/5]
[Core Energy: 2/5]
[Race: Creation]
【Attributes:
Attack 5, (6)
Defense 2, (2)
Dexterity 4, (5)
Vigilance 6, (7)
Endurance 6, (7)
Commander 14, (16)]
[Tags: Main Core Lv1, Creation Lv1, Life Lv1, Terrestrial Animal Lv1, Dinosaur Lv1, Small Animal Lv1, Agility Lv1, Predator Lv1, Social Lv1, Extreme Individual Lv1]
[Form: Heroic Velociraptor]
[Core Research] can increase the maximum number of cores and HP, the maximum number of guards and hatches, and increase the upper limit of tags.
[Artificial Evolution] Improves the label level and fuses the label.
His gaze fell on one label after another
[Main Core Lv1: ......]
[Creation Lv1: ......]
[Life Lv1: As the round progresses, HP and energy will naturally recover at a base efficiency of 5%, increasing or decreasing according to the resting environment and food.]
- "Metabolism, Stress, Genetics and Evolution...... The commonality of counting known organisms may not be suitable for artificially evolved organisms, but that doesn't negate that they are life, right? ”】
[Land Animal Lv1: When in a terrestrial environment, temporarily all attributes +5%
- "It may not be new for living beings to grow, rest, run, crawl, fight, and reproduce on the earth, but it at least proves that it has a structure sufficient to support itself against gravity and an internal system suitable for survival in the atmosphere." ”】
[Dinosaur Lv1: All Attributes +5%.] When used as a core research, artificially evolved material and target, there is a chance to get an additional tag of aggression tendency from the material. When used as an asset with the same tag or as a target for using an item with the same tag, the chance of getting the same tag is +5%.
- "The classic paleontology that the Beastfighters loved, maybe they can be called legends?" We don't know exactly how many kinds of them there are, and the gifts from the ground may never be exhausted, but we look forward to their diversity as much as the Beastmen. ”】
[Small Animal Lv1: Reduces the consumption of food materials by one level, and increases the probability of obtaining additional tags related to flexible tendencies when performing core research and artificial evolution.]
- "Being small is not necessarily flexible, but you should eat a lot less." ”】
[Agility Lv1: You can move to an adjacent area during the battle round, with a dodge chance of +1%, and a chance to perform an additional second attack when attacking.]
- "There's no doubt that flexibility is a favorite feature. ”】
[Predator Lv1: +5% Alert Range, +5% Attack, when conducting core research and artificial evolution, the probability of obtaining additional tags related to attack tendency increases.]
- "Predators are not strong enough, but their aggressiveness may be unquestionable. ”】
[Group Lv1: When multiple entities of the same kind act, all their attributes will temporarily increase by 1~5% of the command value, and when the warning range coincides, the warning range will be merged, and when the core research and artificial evolution are carried out, the probability of obtaining additional command tendency-related tags will increase
- "The individual who travels alone may be stronger than the individual who lives in groups, but the coordinated actions of the animals in groups can bring greater benefits." ”】
[Extreme Individual Lv1: The consumption of food materials is increased by one level, all attributes +5%, when attacking targets of the same type and smaller than the size of the unit, there is a chance to temporarily reduce all the target's attributes by 1-5%
- "It's much larger than its kind, but it's not gigantism, it's strong enough to deter. ”】
And the focus of the label is probably [small animals].
Although small animals are not necessarily weak, there is no doubt that the correlation between physique and strength is higher, and it is important to find an opportunity to get rid of it.
If I'm not mistaken, Jixing remembers that he made a synthesis route of [small animals] → [omnivores].
There is also a route for [small animals] → [scavengers], but scavengers......
However, instead of cutting negative labels, let's first engage in some strong materials for incubation research and try to integrate strong labels.
He knows the tag fusion between dinosaurs and the paleontology found in various mods, but what if he uses the creature materials of the fantasy world as a tag?
Can you make some more powerful labels and then use them on himself?
At the beginning, because of the danger, I chose the dinosaur with relatively low combat effectiveness as the core posture.
The core posture shift is based on the core level.
The core of lv1 can be converted into a guard unit of less than 1 meter.
Lv2 can be converted to 2 meters, and the level corresponds to the body type.
Although the overall potential of the Elegacyptor label type is okay, if it can be chosen.......
He would still choose modern animals over dinosaurs.
And in the fantasy world, of course, he wants to try to choose fantasy creatures as the core posture.
At the very least, try to see if you can use a human form.
Although there is a novelty in the external form, there is no doubt that habit is a good thing.
It's a pity that there are no ifs.
Everything has changed, and I still want to do so much.
It's better to think about how to fuse a strong label.
However, attempts to fuse strong tags can take a long time, but they can be done immediately by manually evolving them.
So...... Hunt.
Flesh and blood materials, using powerful fantasy creatures as materials, doing core research upgrades, will there be other effects?
ps:Hawkers,Don't care too much about attributes.,Although it's a game text.,But the classification is a game otherworld.,Don't take the pure data route.,Labels definitely don't have to be remembered.,I have my own list.,If you read it, you have to remember......
Because there will definitely be a large number of them, but most of them are skipped and transitioned, the number of occurrences will not be too much, and the plot also needs to "screen" this process, and in the end, a few specific types will be stabilized, not stabilized, just skip it at a glance, don't remember, I don't think anyone will remember the online article in the fast food era.
It's okay to remember it, but it's basically impossible, and if you can't remember it, you have to think about it, and you can only feel chaotic.
Unless..... I'm going to tile all the current labels in detail every dozen or so chapters, and you have to remember and remember, just look at this chapter.
