Chapter 144: The Unlucky Rock Armor Lizard
The eight of them descended into the natural cave of the elemental mine, and they cleaned up the movement of the passage and scared away the rock armor lizards that were digging the elemental mine. When the movement of them clearing the passage stopped, the rock lizard sneaked up again, grabbed a piece of exposed elemental ore and ran.
Rock armor lizards are four or five years long, and they are covered in earthy yellow rock scale armor. It can play a good role in protection, and there is a camouflage effect in the underground cave.
Like the Acid Spider, they also like elemental ores, and they will also devour rocks and dirt to replenish their rock scales.
The last time he met a rock armor lizard acting alone, Ye Guangji used the identification technique to learn their basic information, and their physical defense ability is quite high, and they also have a certain amount of spell resistance. There are two or three breath spells, all of which fall into the category of protection.
He luckily triggered the additional effect of the Identification Technique, identifying a weakness of the Rock Lizard. The rock scale armor on the body grows out from behind, and if you pry it hard against the edge of the scale armor with a sharp object, you can knock off the scale armor that is comparable to steel.
Rock carapace lizards are like muddy blood, rich in a variety of nutrients that plants need, and are good nutrient fertilizers. Some scales grow on the flesh and have stripes of natural spells on the inside, which can release defensive spells such as stone skin and rock shields.
Tang Yarou's weapon was replaced with a sledgehammer, and it was still the equipment identified by Ye Guangji. The handle of the alloy hammer of more than three meters, on one side is the square edges and corners of the hammer meat, which smashes into the ground and leaves regular grooves. On the other side is a sharp triangular pyramid, which makes it easy to dig holes in the rubble.
The war hammer in the middle of the purple tier can be large and small, has the effect of increasing weight, and has the attributes of broken equipment. Equipment requires a lot of strength, and I don't know how Tang Yarou's weak body can contain so much power.
The heavy weapons she and Jiang Chunyu used were not conducive to dealing with scaly lizards, and they were directly made into meat puree with one move, which was not convenient for collecting materials afterwards. Their weapons are used for mining, but they are quite useful.
There are tree roots to support the soil structure, and there is no need to fear the collapse of the passage. Tang Yarou's hammer swept and smashed a piece of mineral soil, revealing the brilliant elemental ore in it. The only downside is that sometimes she is not careful, and will directly smash the elemental ore. In the face of the efficiency of mining, these are all inconsequential trifles.
The two work together to mine the ore, while the rest of the team concentrates on dealing with the rock lizards. In the face of a large number of mobs that are not threatening, there is no need to cooperate with each other, just keep some mind and prepare for the rescue of possible accidents.
is also using heavy weapons, Liu Kuo's giant sword does give people the feeling of lifting weight. Either teasing or stabbing as if there was no strength, one by one the lizards died in front of them. His efficiency is not high, and there is blood scattered and materials wasted.
Zhong Xuegao's one-handed secret weapon skills can be used to fly. Tiny matte flying needles run through the gaps in the scales of the neck and into the lizard's brainstem. The rock armor lizard he attacked obviously still had vital signs, but it had lost control of its body.
Dou Ziguang used ice magic to freeze them whole. Leave the area near the heart and use the energy hand to extract the lizard's heart's blood. Hao Jiawei has a slaughtering knife in one hand, but he uses a strange sense of beauty, the beginning of the slaughter is still a little cooked, and after getting acquainted, it is as neat as a cook.
Ye Guangji used the Desert Falcon to attack from a distance in the rear with Bai Ling. The two didn't shoot much, and it looked like they were fishing. In fact, they are also fulfilling their position, cutting down on the excessive number of lizards and preventing them from disrupting the rhythm of their companions' attacks.
As the few people gradually deepened, the rock armor lizards they encountered became larger and larger, and it was obvious that the first one was just a little guy who was abandoned to explore the way.
The death of their own kind was slaughtered, causing the rock lizards to abandon the elemental mines of temptation and retreat to their territory, leaving behind many corpses on the way to retreat. With their defensive skills, they can detect the racial characteristics of the lizard. Timid, afraid of death, and bullying, similar to pangolins and armadillos.
"Haha, a few more rounds, it's enough for me to move up the next level! I'm going to use some of the blood of the lizards to water the vegetables. ”
Hao Jiawei opened his mouth with a smile, cut off a piece of lizard meat, and put it in his mouth to chew without washing it. Analyzing the texture and meat quality of the ingredients, he nodded contemplatively, looking quite satisfied with the newly obtained ingredients.
In front of him was a rock lizard, its limbs bound by ropes, the other end of which was attached to the air, and no matter how hard it tried, it could not break free. The rocky scale armor was pried open, and the transparent skin of the cicada's wings shed off, revealing the flesh of the crustacean-like teeth.
"Do you still want anything? I'll wrap up the rest, and plan to expand a medicine garden and use them to fertilize the soil. ”
Ye Guangji walked to Hao Jiawei's side, a little curious about what the flesh of the rock armor lizard tasted like. They are not afraid of parasites or diseases, and the effect of healing skills is extremely domineering, even if the healing skills are not easy to use, there is still the main god system to cover them.
Only Dou Ziguang said that he wanted to do a little research, and the rest of the people were not interested in farming. If you want to make fresh dishes yourself, the system mall sells them. It's all friends, and you can go to them and get it.
Ye Guangji's botanical garden has a statue of a three-tailed fox, summoning three good foxes to take care of it. He himself has rarely entered, and if he wants any plants, he can let Shanhu send them directly. There will be newly harvested plants, and they will go in and plan where to plant.
"How's it taste?"
Ye Guangji couldn't help but be curious, and asked Hao Jiawei, who was thoughtful. When it comes to cooking, he's been far away.
Hao Jiawei didn't make a sound, and stabbed a knife on the carotid artery in the lizard's neck. The muddy blood shot into it accurately, and not a single drop of the colorful peony flower iron pot that had just appeared under his body fell outside the iron basin. After some teasing by him, there was very little blood left in the lizard's body.
After finishing it, he cut another strip and chewed it, nodded with satisfaction, and cut another strip and handed it to Ye Guangji's mouth.
"The smell of earth is very strong, and the blood is much better when it is clean. It is rich in oil and has the sweetness of minerals. Some resemble a combination of crab legs and angler shrimp. ”
Everyone couldn't help but be a little curious, and they all came up to taste it. Hao Jiawei made a simple sauce on the spot, and the taste increased significantly. As for what seasoning is suitable for pairing, what kind of cooking method, how thick to cut, etc., it needs to be carefully studied in the future.
Ye Guangji felt that the taste of the rock armor lizard was good, like seafood did not have a fishy smell, and some people's taste. I think that the fishy smell is also a kind of freshness, and it is a very fresh kind, after all, the fishy smell is generally heavier.
The sweetness of minerals is most evident in drinking water. Drink the boiling water while it is hot, and if it feels very sweet, it is rich in minerals. This is generally found in well water, and filtered water does not have that sweet taste, but has a bitter taste similar to medicine.
Clean up the battlefield and put away the corpses, as for the matter of dividing the materials. There's no need to take up daytime time, you can do it slowly at night. After all, after this exploration, it is very likely that the news will be informed to the contractor of the underlying strength.
Always guarding the secret and eating is too ugly, which is not good for the reputation in the future. The gap between the two sides is too large, the circulation of materials is not good, and the things that cannot be used are pressed in their hands, and they cannot afford to reduce the price. The contractor of the same level can afford it, but there is a better one to use, and there is no need to buy his things at all.
There is also the circulation of goods and news among the top contractors. Compared with the hot trading of the low-level contractors, the top-level trading is tepid. Sellers have some willing to take the bait, and buyers are relatively at a loss, and what they need is urgently needed and the price is relatively high.
Liu Kuo has always been one of the big households, and he basically accepts weapons and armor equipment. I don't know what to do with so much equipment, according to his own explanation, it has to do with talent.
His needs are also irregular, sometimes he needs good equipment, sometimes he needs ordinary equipment. The equipment that the team didn't need was all eaten by him, and it seemed that it was not enough, and it needed to be purchased from outsiders.
The eight of them advanced towards the ground rift, and the two miners fell at the back of the group, continuing to dig for elemental ore around them from a distance that could be pulled in by a sprint.
They continued to explore in two directions, one was to explore downward through the ground fissure, and the other was to walk up to the stone pillar bridge they made last time and explore to the opposite side of the ground fissure. To be sure, on the opposite side is the territory of the rock armor lizard, and below is the unknown harvest and danger.
Most of the team members want to be stable and go to the opposite side to hunt the rock armor lizard. The elemental ore in the mine is enough for them to eat, and it is not worth the trip to simply dig for a few days. The two men with heavy weapons have an advantage in digging ore, and the steep terrain here makes them look bulky and not conducive to the use of strength.
The minority followed the advice of the majority, and the team crossed the cracks in the ground, which was inferior to the territory of the rock lizards. Ye Guangji and Hao Jiawei also want to catch some rock armor lizards with excellent physique to raise, as a stable source of food, as well as pure natural and renewable fertilizers.
The rock armor lizard was afraid of being killed, and even if it was invaded by someone, it still chose to retreat. A few people were not in a hurry, calmly compressing the space of the rock armor lizard. The rock armor lizards that could be seen were getting bigger and bigger, and with the sheer size of their size, they had the mind to fight back against them.
The large rock armor lizards that rushed up this time, they didn't scare their hands to death. Regardless of the quality of their meat, their large size means that there is more blood, and more fertilizer can be produced at one time.
Hao Jiawei captured a large lizard, and after slaughtering it, he concluded that the flesh of the large rock armor lizard had not only not aged, but had a richer taste. The body needs to bear more weight and the flesh is more tender and elastic.
The rock armor lizard was favored by the two, but it fell into blood mold for eight lifetimes. From eating to use, from blood to scales, there is no piece that cannot be used. Such an excellent material population has the value of vigorous cultivation.
It's not like an acid spider in the same space, not to mention ugly, there are very few things that can be used, and death is quickly corroded by its own acid, and there is nothing to use except acid. The acid gushing out is not large, except for poisoning and experimenting, there is no eye-catching effect.
