Chapter 19 Creation and Transformation

"Click!"

The mouthparts as hard as metal bite down, but the bite is empty!

It turned out that in a moment, Li Xiao's body penetrated the treasure chest as if through illusory light and shadow, and fell directly to the ground.

"Is this treasure chest fake?" This was Li Xiao's first thought.

"Mom! What a big centipede! That was his second thought!

Hearing movement behind him, Li Xiao turned around and saw a huge centipede as thick as a human!

Its body hung from the stone wall, only its head dangling, just where it had just stood.

Looking at this scene, Li Xiao instantly figured out the situation just now, it must have been the accident caused by not touching the treasure chest just now that he stumbled and saved himself!

Cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, and the name of the creature instantly remembered in his mind—

Gumalu!

This ancient creature is the largest arthropod ever discovered by man!

The overall length can reach almost four meters!

The Gu Ma Lu in front of Li Xiao is extremely terrifying just by looking at its appearance!

There are no suitable words to describe it in a specific description, and it can only be summed up in one sentence:

It allows people with dense phobia to "die intensively" directly!

(If you want to know what it looks like, just find an ordinary centipede, and then imagine that it is the same size as you, you will know what it looks like, and you can barely understand how Li Xiao feels now!) )

As soon as Gu Malu missed, his body stopped again, not moving. Only the long tentacles swayed back and forth, collecting the smell of the air!

It has little vision and can only judge the location of its prey by smell and sound.

He wants to locate Li Xiao's position again!

"What's the situation? How could this Gumalu attack himself? Didn't you apply insect repellent yourself? Isn't insect repellent effective against Gumalu? ”

Li Xiao's head turned rapidly, and he figured it out in an instant.

"Damn, I forgot I just went into the water!"

Seeing that Gu Malu didn't seem to find himself, Li Xiao took advantage of this opportunity to launch an action!

His eyes were fixed on Gu Ma Lu, and his body took a cautious step back......

Although Gu Ma Lu's eyesight is not good, his sense of hearing and smell is extremely sensitive, and Li Xiao only made a slight movement, and this Gu Ma Lu found him again......

In the next second, this Gu Ma Lu's body bent, and then it flew towards Li Xiao's current position like a constricted spring bursting out!

In a moment's time, Li Xiao rolled around in embarrassment towards the side and forward, and only then could he dodge Gu Malu's blow!

"Click!"

Gu Ma Lu's hard mouthparts bit on the stone ground, and two deep marks suddenly appeared on the ground!

"I'll you!" Li Xiao saw Gu Ma Lu's attack power, and was once again glad that he had dodged it.

You know, the ancient horse in the game is an extremely dangerous creature in the cave.

And in this "live game", it is more dangerous than ever!

However, Li Xiao is not the rookie who just came to the Ark, when Gu Malu lost Li Xiao's position again, Li Xiao fought back!

The spear suddenly appeared in his hand, and then he clenched it tightly and stabbed it out!

"Ping!"

The tip of the stone spear pierced the carapace of Gu Malu's back, and it collided with its carapace to create a slight spark.

It didn't even pierce! This carapace is so hard!

Li Xiao couldn't strike a blow, so he quickly retreated, and the spear in his hand was replaced by a bow and arrow......

However, before he could strike first, Gu Ma Lu launched an attack on Li Xiao first!

I saw a cloud of black mucus spit out of its mouth and shoot towards the retreating Li Xiaomian Gate!

"Just waiting for you!" Li Xiao, as a great god player of the Ark game, how could he not know that this ancient horse land has long-range means.

Although it has been entangled several times, Li Xiao still keeps an eye on its mouth, preventing it from spitting slime!

Turning sideways and tilting his head, the ball of slime passed in front of Li Xiao and hit the stone wall next to him.

Unlike the slime spit out by Dilophosaurus, the slime spit out by this ancient horse is extremely corrosive.

There was a loud "bang", and pungent white smoke continued to rise from the place where the slime came into contact with the stone wall.

In the blink of an eye, a hole was corroded into the stone wall!

Glancing back at the severely corroded stone wall, Li Xiao's fear of Gu Ma Lu in front of him increased a little.

But now is not the time to be afraid, Li Xiao pulled the bow in his hand to the full moon!

The arrow is pointing at Gu Malu's head......

"I wonder if your head is hard enough?!" Li Xiao said, his fingers loosened the bowstring!

The head of this ancient horse is not big, and it is constantly moving, so it should be difficult for an arrow to hit.

But it is too close to Li Xiao, and with Li Xiao's amazing archery skills, if this head misses, I am sorry for his hard work in the past month.

Gu Ma Lu rushed towards Li Xiao again, but was interrupted by Li Xiao's arrow! The strong force carried the upper half of its body backwards.

The screams of Gummaru were heard immediately, followed by a splatter of corrosive slime!

This Gu Ma Lu was shot in the mouth by Li Xiao's arrow, and his body stood up in pain, and his struggling head threw out a lot of corrosive mucus accompanied by blood!

It appears that the arrow stabbed the organ in its mouth that stored the corrosive slime......

Afraid of being splashed by this slime, Li Xiao hid far behind a rock.

And Gu Ma Lu on this side, after churning and struggling for a while, he fell to the ground and died completely.

Its entire head was corroded by its own acid, which was why it actually died......

"Whew-"

With a big sigh, Li Xiao didn't care about Gu Ma Lu, who was already dead, but turned to the treasure chest that was still shining.

"How did you just penetrate the past? Could it be that I opened it the wrong way? ”

He reached out his right hand again...... However, I still passed through it, and I didn't touch the treasure chest.

He touched his chin in thought, his brows furrowed.

"How do you open this thing?"

Glancing at the implant on his left arm, Li Xiao patted his head.

"Definitely with it!" With that, he brought the implant on his left arm closer to the chest.

The moment the implant approached the treasure chest, the treasure chest was like an ice cube that met a flame, slowly melting!

The liquid that melted and dripped slowly dissipated into the air like evaporated water......

The implant on the arm flashed a few times, Li Xiao opened the menu, and in the production bar, several green drawings appeared:

【Leather Jacket】【Leather Gloves】【Leather Shoes】【Bow】

[Name: Fur Jacket (Fine)]

[Damage Resistance: Low]

[Cold/Hot Resistance: Medium]

[Durability: Medium]

[Crafting Requirements: Hidex30 Fiberx30]

[Note: Compared to the original animal skin top, the fine level is more comfortable to wear, as for the data? It's stronger, but it's just a loss......]

……

【Bow (Finesse)】

[Damage: Low]

【Durability: High】

[Crafting Requirements: Wood x10 Fiber x30]

[Note: Stronger than the original bow......]

……

Sure enough, there are blueprints for high-level equipment in the treasure chest, but this is just a green excellent treasure chest, and the level of equipment opened is only excellent.

With the treasure chest in hand, Li Xiao jumped back into the water......

The icy chill made him shiver again, and he hurriedly swam to the opposite shore.

However, when he was about to land, Li Xiao suddenly felt that he was bitten by something on his calf, and the pain was intense!

Enduring the pain, he climbed ashore.

The pants on the calf are a little torn, and when I look at the rotten mouth, there are two rows of fine tooth marks on the calf!

Fortunately, most of the damage was resisted by the animal skin pants, and Li Xiao's wounds were not too deep.

Looking into the underground river, a fish of considerable size was swimming in the water, and it was it that attacked Li Xiao just now.

However, the light in this underground cave is not very bright, and Li Xiao can't see what kind of fish it is.

He remembered the fish creatures in the game in his mind-

"Giant piranhas? It's not like ah, that thing is estimated to be less than two taels of meat in one bite! ”

"It must be a sabertooth salmon!"

Li Xiao took out the spear and said fiercely: "Sabertooth salmon, right!" Uncle, I haven't eaten fish for a long time, so I'll eat salmon sashimi today! ”

With that, he jumped into the water again!

……

A few minutes later. Li Xiao had a few more wounds on his body, and he climbed ashore from the water in a rage.

"Damn, swim too fast! Can't hit it at all! ”

"Next time I bring a fishing rod and hang you little bastard!" Li Xiao twisted the wet clothes on his body, but his eyes glanced at something unusual.

In the shadow of the mountain wall, there was a huge insect figure—eight legs, a huge belly, and dense compound eyes......

It's a spider! And more than one!

If you look closely, on the mountain wall next to this underground river, I don't know when four or five huge spiders have gathered! Their eyes were all staring straight at Li Xiao!

"Is it too late for me to apply insect repellent?" Li Xiao was stunned and muttered in a low voice.

The answer to him was a sea of cobwebs that flew in......

These cobwebs are very sticky and extremely tough, and once they get on their bodies, they are very difficult to break free for a while.

Li Xiao wanted to hide, but unfortunately there were too many cobwebs, and these spiders shrouded all the places he could hide!

In the blink of an eye, his whole body was covered with white spider silk, shrouded in a white expanse.

Then, these spiders came forward and wrapped Li Xiao in spider silk little by little, and finally turned into a mummy-like cocoon.

This cocoon is thin at the top and bottom and thick in the middle, which is much more beautiful than the first time Li Xiao tamed the Dilophosaurus......

The spiders stepped forward to drag the cocoon deeper into the cavern, but when they approached it, they suddenly retreated.

A faint lemony aroma wafted from the cocoon, but it made the spiders retreat as quickly as if they had met a plague god!

But it was Li Xiao who took out the insect repellent in this cocoon.

The smell of insect repellent disperses the spiders, leaving only the large cocoons on the ground.

Then, the cocoon began to wriggle constantly, like a maggot - Li Xiao inside tried to break free.

The cocoon rolled and wriggled, but it showed no signs of breakage, and it seemed that he had underestimated the tenacity of the cobweb.

Then I saw the cocoon stand up awkwardly, change its squirming to jumping, and jump aimlessly.

"Oops!"

A stone on the ground tripped the cocoon, and Li Xiao's painful snort was heard inside.

Ten seconds later, the cocoon stood up again, and it was still bouncing!

A few spiders ducked away and watched the cocoon scurry......

Then, I saw this cocoon......

This big cocoon that keeps jumping around...... Tripped again......

Tumbling and shouting...... Fell into an underground river......

Spiders: "......"

A few minutes later, Li Xiao climbed up from the river again with a lot of scars, a few more bite marks on his face, and a lot of cobwebs on his head.

The cocoon formed by the cobwebs on his body lost its viscosity when it met the water, and Li Xiao broke free from the cocoon in the water.

When the spiders on the side saw Li Xiao coming up, they were about to rush up again!

However, in the next second, he was frightened back by the thing he was holding high in Li Xiao's hand.

It's insect repellent! And it's an insect repellent that dissolves into a liquid by water!

I saw Li Xiao pour the liquid insect repellent on his head......

Throwing away the wooden bowl in his hand, he looked viciously at the spider not far away.

"Come on! Let's tie up labor and management again! Labor and management really want to give you a spear and poke you to death these disgusting things! ”

"And you!" Li Xiao turned sharply in the direction of the underground river, and his eyes were already spewing fire:

"You're still addicted to biting, aren't you? It's endless, isn't it!! The next time labor and management come, they will definitely kill you!! ”

With a harsh squeeze, he turned and strode towards the depths of the cave......

A bunch of spiders: °0°.°0°

Sabertooth salmon: 0.0

……

Finally, I was about to reach the deepest part of the cave, and according to my memory, I turned the corner in front of me and arrived at the place where the artifact was placed!

Sure enough, after the corner, it was also a lot of space.

On the ground deep in the depths of the space, a levitating, glowing green strip-like object was slowly emitting wavy energy fields.

It's the artifact - the Hunter!

A smile appeared on Li Xiao's face, after such hardships and dangers, he was finally going to get the artifact!

But when he got closer and saw the terrain around him......

The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and it turned to a volcanic eruption!

"What about the cheater?!"

Li Xiao's earth-shattering roar came from the cave......

If you look closely, around the artifact, there is a bottomless pool!

The artifact is on the central island in the middle of this waterhole!

Li Xiao sat on the ground fiercely.

He is now doubting life! Wonder if you've been tricked! I wonder if the Ark system is playing him on purpose!

In order to obtain the artifact, it is necessary to swim through the waterhole......

And swim through the pool, the insect repellent on your body will be washed off by the water and lose its effect!

Now there are only two options:

One is to return the same way, not to get the artifact, the insect repellent on your body can make you return to the ground safely.

The second is to take the artifact and return the same way......

The difference is that you have to face hundreds of giant spiders and giant scorpions!

He was now extremely annoyed, regretting why he didn't bring more insect repellent, even if it was just one more!

Do you want to go back the way you came? But the artifact is right in front of him, and he has come here after so many hardships, do you have to go home empty-handed?

Li Xiao was very entangled......

In the end, he gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh, deciding his choice!

Getting up, he smiled wryly and jumped straight into the water......
