Chapter 35: Sea Tribe, Fire-breathing Ant Nest
The direction of the Rotten Wolf Plain is not only different from the Raging Gopher Grassland, but the scenery on the way to the Rotten Wolf Plain is also very different from before, about a kilometer away from the forward base, Zhang Ran found a small lake on the side of the road he was traveling.
It is a body of water with a diameter of more than a kilometer, and the surface of the lake is a thick green, I don't know if it is the remnants of radiation from the cataclysmic era, or the mutated algae that appeared after the cataclysm.
Even if the environment is very harsh, but in this lake, there are still a large number of creatures, looking down through the lake from a distance, Zhang Ran saw a lot of underwater creatures with strange organs, fighting and biting each other in their hands, among these mutated underwater creatures, Zhang Ran even saw a strange fish with three mouths.
Compared with land, the radiation in the water is often more difficult to dissipate, because of this, the degree of mutation of the creatures in the water is undoubtedly greater, and their strength is often more difficult than the mutant creatures on land.
In addition to the mutant beasts in the water, in the Black Eagle Academy, Zhang Ran also heard of another mutant creature in the water - the sea tribe.
Like Earth, most of this world is also covered by the ocean, and after the cataclysm, a mutated creature with extremely high intelligence was also born in the ocean - the sea tribe, which belongs to a kind of alien people, with a similar appearance and intelligence to humans, but they are two species completely different from humans.
Although he was a little curious about the legend of the Sea Clan, through his previous studies in the Black Eagle Academy, Zhang Ran also roughly knew that the location of the Black Eagle Company from the sea was thousands of kilometers, and the wilderness that was cleaned by many unevolved people along the way, dozens of times more dangerous than the vicinity of the Black Eagle Company, and where there were ten or even dozens of mutant beasts entrenched, was not something he could shuttle at all.
Therefore, Zhang Ran didn't think much about the Sea Clan, just avoided this small lake marked as an S-level danger zone from a distance, and continued to follow the guidance of the chip to rush towards the rotten wolf plain marked on the map.
There was nothing to say all the way, and under Zhang Ran's full thrust, the small lake was quickly left behind by Zhang Ran, and after a while, Zhang Ran came to a hill that was not too tall.
There was no road on the top of the hill, but for Zhang Ranyan, who was a quasi-evolutionary, it would not cause any obstacles, and with a few light steps, Zhang Ran's figure rose rapidly, and in less than a minute, he had already climbed this small hill with a height of less than a hundred meters.
As far as the eye can see, in front of Zhang Ran is a fairly wide flat land, which should also be a city, but due to the arrival of the cataclysm, the original high-rise buildings have long fallen apart, and because no one takes care of it, the lush wild grass and shrubs have long occupied the entire land, presenting a wild and barren scene.
Even so, on this wasteland, Zhang Ran can still find the existence of civilization, through some sparse weeds, although the concrete ground has long been cracked, but it still stubbornly resides on the earth, and in some barren grass piles, Zhang Ran also saw the skeletons of cars that have not been completely decomposed, but have long been rusted.
Looking at such a scene, Zhang Ran just sighed, and continued to look for a way down the mountain.
"Ding! found the nest of mutant beast fire-breathing ants, please be careful of the master!"
Just as Zhang Ran was on the way down the mountain, the prompt sound of the chip suddenly sounded in Zhang Ran's ears.
"Oh, fire-breathing ants?"
Hearing the prompt sound of the chip, Zhang Ran's eyes couldn't help but light up, and then looked in the direction of the chip's prompt.
I saw that on the arm of the mountain, there was a one-man high cave, and there were dense footprints at the entrance of the cave, and it was through these footprints that the chip judged that this cave was a cave inhabited by fire-breathing ants.
Compared with the most common mutant beasts in the wilderness, such as rotting wolves, rampaging gophers, marching ants, and poisonous rats, fire-breathing ants are relatively rare mutant beasts, which generally only live in mountainous terrain, and the number is not much.
In addition, fire-breathing ants also have a special ability, their mouthparts can spew out a special substance, and when they encounter air, they will immediately burn, forming a high-temperature flame, which has a strong lethality, which is also the origin of their name.
As for the materials dropped from fire-breathing ants, there are three of the same.
The first is the forefeet of fire-breathing ants, which are as sharp as Grade 1 alloys and can be easily used to craft daggers, and the purchase price is slightly higher than that of rotting wolf claws.
Second, it is a piece of fire-breathing ant meat in the abdomen of fire-breathing ants, which contains a certain amount of evolutionary energy, and unlike the brain core of the walking corpse, as long as you take this piece of fire-breathing ant meat, the human body can directly absorb the evolutionary energy inside.
Third, there is the gland in the mouth of the fire-breathing ant, which stores the remaining flammable substances, which can be used to make high-burning weapons, and is also the most valuable part of the fire-breathing ant's body, which can often be sold for hundreds of Black Hawk coins.
While recalling the information of the fire-breathing ants, Zhang Ran also strode to the fire-breathing ants' nest and took out the AM41 automatic rifle.
For creatures like fire-breathing ants, although their strength, physique, and agility are not necessarily much stronger than rotting wolves, the temperature of the flames in their mouths can reach hundreds of degrees or even a thousand degrees, which is absolutely fatal for a quasi-evolutionary like Zhang Ran, especially in the cave, the flame power of fire-breathing ants is more concentrated and more difficult to dodge, so Zhang Ran does not plan to fight fire-breathing ants at close range.
Ready, Zhang Ran also stepped into the fire-breathing ant nest again, walking ten meters along the narrow mountain wall, Zhang Ran soon saw three fire-breathing ants in the distance.
These were three creatures similar to the ants on Earth, but their bodies were a meter long, their bodies were red, their heads were full of sharp mouthparts, and their six forefeet were sharp and sharp.
"Chip, probe fire-breathing ant attributes. ”
With Zhang Ran's thoughts, an attribute box appeared in front of Zhang Ran, showing the attributes of the fire-breathing ant.
[Enemy Name: Fire-breathing Ant]
[Type: Mutant Beast]
[Hunting Level: 0.7]
[Special Ability: Close Fire Attack]
[Strength: 1.9]
[Constitution: 2.1]
[Dexterity: 1.8]
[Spirit: 0.7]"
After reading the attributes of the three fire-breathing ants, Zhang Ran stopped, and then quietly set up the AM41 automatic rifle in his hand, and aimed the muzzle at the head of the fire-breathing ant on the right side in the distance, and then pulled the trigger.
