Chapter 56: The Skull
Three, two, one.
With Lei Luo's silent thoughts, a human-faced spider demon more than two meters tall emerged from the bottomless crack and climbed onto the ground to prepare for food.
This is a rare big guy, the lower part of the body is like a tarantula magnified countless times, full of black and white patterns, and the upper body is completely humanoid. Eight metre-long arthropods are tougher than steel, and in addition to being a powerful melee weapon, they can help it pursue at speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour, ignoring most difficult terrain.
Seeing Lei Luo walking straight towards him, the human-faced spider demon froze in place, falling into a temporary state of confusion. It has an extremely keen sense of breath discernment, and can clearly sense that the human in front of it is simply too weak to understand what such a suicidal act represents.
There are not many creatures in the wasteland that have lost their minds.
The human-faced spider demon lifted the two pairs of arthropods at the front of his body, rowed with six legs, and pounced straight towards Lei Luo. In the last stage of the two sides, the human-faced spider demon has made a new discovery.
Lei Luo actually closed his eyes!
The human-faced spiders almost felt like laughing, but of course, the stiff muscles of their faces would never make them smile for a real smile. The giant scythe-like arthropod quickly tore through the air, slashing at Lei Luo with a terrifying current of energy, and then plowed into the ground with an extremely deep slash that was several meters long.
Lei Luo had disappeared from the sight of the human-faced spider demon, as if he had evaporated out of thin air.
The spider demon let out a low, puzzled roar, looked around, and even turned its head a hundred and eighty degrees, looking behind the impossible to look behind him, looking for the shadow of the prey.
When it looked back, it was shocked to find that Ray Luo was standing on the arthropod he had just waved, like a light bird pausing for a break in the middle of the journey, ready to comb his feathers.
Enraged, the human-faced spider demon supported his body with a pair of arthropods at the back of his body, and at the same time swung the other three pairs fiercely, staggering and cutting countless fierce wind blades in the air!
Lei Luo suddenly jumped down, flat on the ground, and pounced on the spider demon's lower abdomen at a safe height that this death blade dance could not reach. He was about to make a move, when the spider demon, who sensed the crisis, stretched his abdomen, completely stretched out the hollow stinger more than a foot long, and stabbed him fiercely!
The vicious spider venom can instantly kill a giant beast the size of a human-faced spider demon, let alone a small prey like Lei Luo. The sudden pain at the end of the tail made the spider demon realize that the stinger had been severed, and in the midst of the danger, it kicked all its arthropods and leaped more than ten meters away, trying to turn back and attack the cunning prey.
After a thud to the ground, the heavy body of the human-faced spider demon slid for a long distance, and the ground was splashed with earth and rocks. "Zheng Zheng Zheng" sounded, it inserted the tip of the arthrop into the ground, and was about to pounce on its original position after counteracting the inertia, when the lower abdomen suddenly felt a strange shock, and a fierce heat flow rushed straight up from the body, tearing the throat pipe in an instant! The spider demon fell back weakly, watching as the fragments of his internal organs and the blood full of dirt sprayed into the air, where they exploded into a large cloud of red mist.
Until the last moment of consciousness death, the spider demon still couldn't figure out how the other party managed to follow him. Such a terrifying fighting instinct far surpassed that of any creature it had ever encountered.
After the human-faced spider demon was completely down, Lei Luo, who was hiding under its belly, appeared. Walking to the spider demon's still intact head, Lei Luo stretched out his right hand and gently lifted it on the skull, which immediately seemed to be touched by a switch, and flicked open, revealing steaming brain tissue.
After digging out a black crystal from the spider demon's brain, Lei Luo turned and left, disappearing into the night.
It's been nearly two months since I've been deep into the wasteland, and I've been dealing with these ferocious and powerful outland creatures along the way, and every step feels like walking on the edge of a razor.
This special world, known as the "Eternal Night Battlefield", is gradually revealing its mysteries and revealing its true nature. Lei Luo is also understanding the rules of survival here from shallow to deep from his own perspective and in his own way, and trying to get himself out of the food chain.
Be a hunter, not a prey.
Every outland creature that exceeds the strength of a seventh-level warrior has a special "core", which grows either in the brain or in the heart. Lei Luo still heard the name "core" from Serena, and he couldn't help but think of the blood essence of the xenobeast, in fact, the two biological crystals did have great similarities.
The energy fluctuations in the core are a little stronger than those of the Blood Spirit Essence, and they are also more pure and rich. It's just that it can't be directly absorbed by Lei Luo and turned into potential. From xenobeasts to outland creatures, from blood essence to core, Lei Luo vaguely felt that he was embarking on a path closer and closer to the source, but now his eyes were still full of fog and he couldn't see the light.
Back at the temporary shelter, Lei Luo was slightly relieved to find that the secret notes made nearby were intact. Marking territory with bodily fluids is a trait common to all lower alien creatures. Taking advantage of this, every time Relo left Serena's side, he would smear an invisible line around her with the glands of the strongest creatures he had recently hunted.
So far, at least, it's been working.
"I killed a spider demon who was almost a general, but I didn't find any meat. Lei Luo strode into the weak "defense circle", and heard the sound of water in front of him in the distance, "You always ask me to collect cores, I think this thing is actually useless except for the value of the battle process......, right?"
"Why are you back so soon? Stand there, not allowed to come!" Serena interrupted him in a hurried tone.
Unconsciously, Lei Luo turned a few bushes of dense shadow bushes, and his eyes widened when he saw the situation ahead.
The two of them found this small waterhole yesterday, the water is crystal clear, and there are many scaleless fish swimming in the pool. In the never-ending darkness, the eyes of these fish have deteriorated, leaving only two faint bumps, which can no longer be used as visual organs. Probably because they were too small to arouse the interest of those powerful predators, they collectively survived.
In fact, the wasteland is not completely without light sources, and some earth fires that flow quietly in the depths of the Great Rift are like dark red grids on a black chessboard, and they can almost always meet once or twice every time they travel more than a hundred miles.
Lei Luo ate raw meat during this time, and his eyes were full of Venus, looking at those fish, he swallowed saliva for a long time, and finally took a great risk and took a little fire source from the big crack where the monsters were rampant. Serena was surprised and delighted at such a crazy act. Then the two cooperated tacitly, one lit a fire and the other was vigilant. Relying on the dark fire pressed by poor baba under the stones on all sides, I enjoyed a meal of burnt grilled fish, and almost swallowed my tongue.
The eldest lady cooked for the first time in her life, and after the thrilling grilling of the fish, she quickly turned off the fire, lest she become the most conspicuous target of attack in the night. When the fish was imported, he couldn't help but smile, but he ate more than Lei Luo. Although he never mentioned it afterwards, his tone and demeanor were full of pride, obviously proud of his self-taught cooking skills.
Of course, Lei Luo will not be bored with herself, and tell this eldest lady who has not touched cooked food for several months that her craftsmanship can't even score zero, and at most only negative points.
Along the way, the two have long since developed from hostility and hatred to being silent and moving forward side by side, just like an old couple who have shared a bed for many years back to back and have long lost any interest in each other. Sometimes, before Relo could open his mouth, Serena knew what he was thinking and what he needed. It's like the animal skin bag that contains the "core" of all kinds of monsters, which Serena silently grinds bone needles and threads animal hair, and sews it up and throws it to Lei Luo as a container.
For Lei Luo, the girl's evaluation is still "despicable as a dog", but four more words have been added to the back - "stoic as a wolf".
Sometimes, Serena even suspects that in his instincts, there is no option for "weakness" at all. In the face of the never-ending fight on the long road, he never tired or feared. Encountered several monster sieges, Serena's perception warning has played a great role, and the secret method of mind control has also induced monsters to kill each other, but the real pillar is undoubtedly Lei Luo. As soon as he stood there, his back would naturally give the girl a sense of security, like he would never fall down, never retreat!
At this moment, Serena felt that Lei Luo was not so reliable.
The girl was holding a large white horned demon skull, which served as a ladle for water, and stood on the edge of a small ditch not far from the waterhole, taking a simple but luxurious shower.
"Stand back! I'm taking a shower, trying to take advantage of my senses! Be careful that I dig out your brain!" Serena took out the most ferocious tone, although she knew that she was just a vague outline of a human body in the other person's perception, she couldn't help but cover her body with a bone scoop, and stood there at a loss for a moment.
To take advantage of perception, of course, you have to dig your brains. But with the eyes......
Don't you have to dig anything?
Lei Luo had already turned his head, but his gaze was still firmly fixed on the girl's ivory white and smooth body. The long, wet hair was falling down his shoulders, obscuring the round, straight twin peaks. Below, after the abruptly retracted waist curve, a pair of slightly trembling jade arms and a heaven-killing bone scoop became the most ruthless barrier.
"I saw Akagi, it was close, we didn't go in the wrong direction. Lei Luo said lightly.
He had never hated horned demons more than he did now, their skulls were a little too big.
