Chapter 3, The Lizard Hunting
Finding some biscuits and mineral water in the shop on the side of the road, Yun Cang walked straight towards the two.
"Two, I think you need some help." Yun Cang, who was carrying a large bag of food, suddenly spoke, he didn't withdraw the isolation energy when he came, and he also had some thoughts about testing his ability.
The two who walked in silence were startled by the sudden appearance of Yun Cang, and then replied excitedly: "Thank you, are you a new human in Xing'an Camp, we want to join the camp." ”
Hung Yen camp? Yun Cang considered the expressions of the two. It seems that this Hung Yen camp has a strong attraction for them.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a new human in Xing'an Camp, I'm just passing through this city recently, can you have a brief chat?" Yun Cang handed the food bag to the two of them, "Haven't asked your names yet?" ”
The two looked at each other, and one of them took the bag and replied: "My lord, my name is Li Ming, he is Wang Kaishun, thank you very much for your help, it is our honor to answer your questions." ”
Seeing the expressions of the two of them change from excitement to cautious and flattery, it seems that in the wild, the new humans are likely to have the power to kill ordinary people, and the camp is a place of order and safety.
Thinking of this, Yun Cang smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, just call me Yun Cang, this is not a place to talk, you eat something first, and talk while walking." ”
"Okay, Lord Yuncang." The two quickly responded.
"Let's go." Yun Cang didn't deliberately correct the title of the two, "Xing'an City is so big, how do you know where the camp is?" ”
"We have picked up a flyer map of the Xing'an camp in the wild, please take a look." Li Ming carefully took out a leaflet from his coat pocket.
Yun Cang took it, this is a waterproof plastic leaflet, the front side briefly introduces the situation and location of the Xing'an camp, and the reverse side is a map of Xing'an City, with some markings, the most striking is the five-pointed star representing the camp in the east of the city, and the huge danger sign on the western edge of the city.
"Where did you come from, the wild is full of dangers, and I have to say that it is a blessing to be able to get here." Yun Cang said.
"Lucky...... Perhaps. The two of them showed a hint of bitterness, "My lord, we are wanderers in the wilderness huddled together for warmth, there were more than twenty people when we set off, and now there are only two of us left." ”
"What happened to you?" Yun Cang asked, "There are so many casualties. ”
"There are so many monsters, my lord. Invisible animals, turtles disguised as rocks, lizards with trees on their bodies, huge mouths like ordinary grass, many times we walk, attacks have already happened. ”
After listening to what happened to the two, Yun Cang couldn't help but think: "It seems that the wild is much more dangerous than I imagined, but it's a pity that both of them are ordinary people, and they can't fight against mutated creatures, and there is still too little information they can obtain." ”
"Sure enough, do you still have to go to Xing'an camp, Xiaobai, what do you think?"
"It is recommended to join the Hung Yen camp as a new human in order to facilitate access to resources and intelligence." Xiaobai replied, "But it's not appropriate to give out all the information about your abilities." ”
"Yes, then my ability is set to be able to release isolation energy." Yun Cang figured it out.
Seeing Yun Cang's thoughtful look, several people continued to walk silently towards the east of the city.
After getting off the bridge, he hadn't gone far, and next to a hardware store along the riverside street, Yun Cang suddenly spoke:
"Two, stop, something is wrong ahead, there's something wrong with that tree."
When Wang and Li heard this, they were shocked, and immediately thought of the tree lizards they encountered on the grassland, and they were so frightened that they took several steps backwards in a row.
Yun Cang didn't care, and then explained, "If you look closely at this tree, it is not difficult to find abnormal signs on it. The most obvious are the wide leaves without any dead leaves, and the sparse orientation of the canopy that is different from other plants on the street. ”
The two took a closer look, and sure enough, it was exactly what Yun Cang said. A tree that was originally sparse and ordinary, after learning about the anomaly, is now very abrupt no matter how you look at it. Whether the tree is a monster or not, the safest way for ordinary people is to bypass it directly from the side street.
Looking at the expressions of the two of them as if they were facing great enemies, Yun Cang said in a low voice: "To be safe, you first take a detour from the side street to the Xing'an camp, and tell them that there are mutated creatures here, and I will keep an eye here to prevent this thing from disappearing suddenly." ”
Li Ming and Wang Kaishun glanced at each other, and solemnly replied: "As long as we can reach the camp, we will definitely bring the words, mutant creatures are very dangerous, and I hope that adults will be careful." ”
Yun Cang nodded, motioning for them to take a detour from the small alley on the left.
After the two of them gradually moved away, Yun Cang touched his chin and once again put a layer of isolation energy on himself.
In addition to the two anomalies visible to the naked eye, there is one more thing that Yun Cang did not say, and the two of them could not see: that is, in the field of energy perception, the energy density of this tree is significantly higher than that of the surrounding clearing, especially the junction between the trunk and the ground, where the energy is abnormally concentrated.
It makes him want to stab him, as if there is something in it that attracts him.
"Xiaobai, what do you think will happen if I turn on the isolation energy and stab at the place with the highest brightness?" Yun Cang asked in his mind, "Is it dangerous, can you kill or maim that tree?" ”
"Judging by the energy density, the evolutionary level of the creature is low, and the danger factor is not large; And it is camouflaged as a tree, good at mimic predation strategy, Xiaobai guessed that its movement speed is poor, and suggested that the subject use long-range attacks to avoid its counterattack. ”
"Well, then I have an idea."
After speaking, Yun Cang got up and walked into the hardware store next to him, and after some picking, he pulled out a three-meter-long seamless steel pipe from the pile of debris; He turned out iron wires, super glue and other objects, and firmly fixed the stainless steel sword at one end of the steel pipe to make a simple spear more than five meters long.
After waving his hand twice, Yun Cang felt that it was still a little unsafe, and after thinking about it, he filled the steel pipe with flammable banana water, firmly sealed one end of the hand, and made a simple electric spark device at the other end to ensure that when attacking the enemy, the firing device can generate sparks and ignite the outflow of banana water (refer to lighter batteries).
After making all the preparations, Yun Cang also covered the isolation energy on the steel pipe, and at a slight upward angle, he held this homemade killing weapon and came to the tree.
He held his breath and approached his target with full concentration, aiming at the intersection of the tree and the ground, and stabbed his muscles all over his body. With the tilt of the steel pipe, the banana water inside was poured on the trunk like mercury; At the same time, the tip of the sword came first, only to hear a muffled sound, as if it had pierced into a leather ball, and a large amount of dark green liquid gushed out along the wound.
Before the monster could react, the ignited banana water was like a fire dragon, wrapped around the main trunk of the tree, and the dark green liquid was ignited along the way, with the whirring sound of fierce burning, the flames began to spread wildly into the trunk, Yun Cang immediately let go of his hands when he saw this, and fled to the rear with all his strength.
Ignoring the shrill hissing sound coming from behind, Yun Cang ran out of a hundred meters in one breath before turning back to observe the situation: he saw a lizard with a tree growing on its back on fire, twisting and struggling in the street, trying to put out the fire by rolling.
However, the ignition point is too tricky (stuck at the junction between the tree and the back) for no matter how much you roll, it will not be able to directly act here. The more it rolled, the more intense the pain and flames became.
A wail.
The lizard sprinted in the direction of the embankment to enter the Hung Yen River, but the spear on its back and the blazing flames made it harder to move forward, and it didn't take long for it to roll on its side on the side of the road, burning into a huge fireball.
An hour later, the flames gradually extinguished, and Yun Cang stepped forward, a strange lizard more than three meters long, and the tree on its back was basically burned out, leaving only a bare, charred trunk.
Yun Cang tentatively drew his blackened spear and poked it at the lizard's head, bringing with it the aroma of roasted meat.
"Looks like he's dead." Yun Cang said silently in his heart, "It's actually a lizard." Carrying such a large tree, it's no wonder that they like to squat in one place to forage for food. ”
"But there's still an energy reaction where my spear went down?"
Yun Cang used his sword to cut the connection along the wound, and a hexagonal dark green crystal rolled out.
"Discover xenogeneous energy, do you interact with it?" Xiaobai reminded in his mind.
"What is this? Is the Warcraft crystal nucleus in the novel? Or is it the finest gem that comes out of the flames of the sword? Yun Cang complained and picked up the small crystal.
The small dark green crystals are exceptionally clear in the sunlight, emitting a jewel-like luster, and there is no sign of smoky fire.
Feeling his body's desire for this thing, Yun Cang finally used the interactive perception skill according to Xiaobai's prompts.
A burst of white light concentrated in the palm of his hand, and the crystals quickly melted, turning into a cloud of dark green energy and white light intertwined, showing the feeling of water and milk blending and becoming one.
Yun Cang couldn't tell what he felt, he only felt that there was a gentle gas, or liquid, flowing into his body along the palm, and the places he passed along the way became warm, and then this warmth spread to his whole body, and there was a kind of satisfaction with basking in the sun after eating, and his body seemed to have become stronger.
"The assimilation and absorption have been completed, and now the main body can absorb the solar energy slightly, and the panel is updated as follows."
Name: Yuncang
Status: Healthy
Race: Human
Grade: 7
Constitution: 5 (Physical Resistance & Regeneration)
Strength: 4 (Flesh Burst & Destruction)
Dexterity: 4 (Movement & Reflexes)
Spirit: 15 (Mastery & Energy)
Base Combat Power: 7
Number of evolutions: 1
Capacity: Information integration – The ability to process information has increased dramatically
Interaction perception - energy characteristics are perceived, and active interaction can be carried out
Energy Specialization - Shaping or attaching energy to an object, currently characterized by information isolation
Photosynthesis (inferior) - can slightly absorb sunlight for energy
Standing in place and feeling the photosynthesis (inferior), Yun Cang found that the charging efficiency of this skill was simply outrageously slow, and it automatically stopped when it was full, and the biggest effect at present may be to make him more hungry than before.
"I now know what chicken ribs are." Yun Cang couldn't help but complain again, "Xiaobai, next time this inconsequential ability won't need to show the panel." ”
After speaking, Yun Cang wiped the simple spear, and after leaving the four big words "go to the camp" on the lizard's corpse with a white marker, he walked back to the east.
