hunt and eat

Page 349

Early the next morning, the spaceship slowly descended into a low basin.

On the edge of the basin, a series of small and large wooden buildings can be vaguely seen.

"Why did you choose to land here? Isn't it better to dock in the stronghold?" The ancient tower jumped from the deck of the spaceship, full of puzzlement.

This basin is full of jagged trees, obviously not a good place for landing.

"The stronghold near Purgatory Mountain does not have enough defensive strength. If we fail to hunt, we are very likely to be implicated by the angry Tyrannosaurus chasing after us. That's why we deliberately extended the distance."

Olga is obviously very familiar with this approach, and explained the crux of it clearly in a few sentences.

"It's really thoughtful." Waving towards the spaceship slowly leaving overhead, Guta bid farewell to his teammates, and looked at the 42 hunters who began to enter the state of readiness one after another.

Yes, there were only 42 people. Apart from being absent from the beginning to the end of the seven nights, Huo Ya and Shui Yun did not choose to continue participating in the trial.

It is said that because they secretly participated in the [Natural Disaster Trial] selection, they were discovered by Sui Fengren, the eldest elder of Yanhuo Village, who contacted Oliva and directly suspended the two of them.

When Oliva was young, he seemed to have received a lot of care from Sui Fengren, so he naturally had no objection to this request.

"The target was lured into the underground cave in the center of Purgatory Mountain a day ago. Although the exact location is not clear, with so many of us, we can check one by one and finally complete the lock." Olga glanced With the map in his hand, he used his fingers to outline the approximate range of the Central Mountain Range.

"I don't recommend dispersing. After all, the opponent is a powerful monster at the level of natural disasters. If a team is suddenly attacked, there may be heavy casualties." Ren, who was still wearing a small bandage, shook his head, and some opposed the division of troops proposal.

Olga didn't feel annoyed at the objection, and quickly explained again.

"I understand your concerns, but please note that some passages in the underground caves seem to be wide, but limited by the continuous spewing of molten lava from the ground, there are actually not many areas that can be passed through, and there is not enough space for us work in team."

"And it may not be very real on the ground, but the interior space of Purgatory Mountain is actually very large. Our mission time is limited, and not everyone can fight for a long time in a high-temperature environment. The method of dividing troops to search is actually the best. Efficient."

Upon hearing this, Ren was taken aback for a moment, but soon lowered his head and began to think seriously.

If it is really as Olga said, then the division of troops seems to be something that has to be done.

"I'm not opposed to separate operations, but how to distribute them?" Seperos, whose face was still pale, quietly glanced at the location of the ancient tower while talking.

If possible, he still wanted to bring his partner along with Guta, a guy who had a lot of estrangement from them.

In any case, the combat power of the ancient tower is absolutely trustworthy.

Don't look at Freya, who was ranked 29th by Guta a few days ago, and Sanriyue, who was ranked second, suddenly showed five kinds of dragon power at the ancient dragon level, which caused the evaluation of the two to rise and fall in the outside world. There was a brief reversal during the period, but Ceperos still recognized from the bottom of his heart that Guta is their strongest this year.

He knew that many of the chief's methods were too shockingly lethal, and it was impossible to release them when fighting other hunters. Even if he used a few moves occasionally, the intention of deterrence was more obvious.

But even so, the combat power he displayed is already terrifying enough, that kind of performance of easily defeating the enemy with every gesture is completely out of the standard.

Although he has restrained himself in the civil war, for monsters, Guta has no need to keep his hands at all, and he may not be able to deal with the raging Tyrannosaurus Rex on his own when the time comes.

"Guta, Sanriyue, Gray, and Freya each lead a team. You can choose the specific personnel yourself."

Olga's distribution method was quickly accepted by everyone.

Although Freya's own sequence ranking is a bit low, hunters never pay attention to these vain things.

The terrifying fighting power she showed before has already been fully recognized by the other testers. Coupled with the extremely close fighting power of Yinjue, the fighting power of her team may be even higher than the combination of Absolute Sword and Gluttony , second only to the combination of Gutajia Mijian and Crescent Moon and Olga.

After the simple detachment, four teams of more than ten people came to the entrance of the lava cave.

Looking at the fiery red magma flowing down from the huge volcano from time to time, Rao even the ancient pagoda inevitably hesitated.

Is this place really a place where their flesh and blood can come?

"This is just the entrance, and the temperature is already so high?" Claire, who was dressed in cool clothes, was speaking. At this time, she was staring at a pair of golden eyes, and kept looking at the hole that was more like a fire pit than a passage. .

Even by the most conservative estimate, the temperature here has already exceeded forty degrees.

Who knows if they will turn into roasted meat on an iron plate when they reach the deepest point.

"If anyone wants to withdraw, they can bring it up now." Guta glanced at the people who were discussing behind him, but his gaze paused for a moment in an unoccupied corner.

In his perception, there seemed to be an invisible humanoid object there, probably the invisible disaster hunter who had appeared on the ruins of the ancient tower before.

Worried that something will happen to us, so close protection?

Hmph, it's so sweet~

Guta's words, as well as the dangerous environment at the scene, still failed to scare off this group of proud and talented hunters.

In fact, with the hunter's physique that can be called a monster, the pure high temperature is obviously not enough to make them feel afraid.

Of course, if it is the kind of flame that can easily reach thousands of degrees, it will be another matter.

But all in all, until the four teams entered the huge red hole in batches, no one was seen leaving the team.

After walking down for more than ten meters, soon, nearly five forked roads appeared in front of a group of testers.

The red light from time to time, the deep passage with a height of more than ten meters made the four captains including Guta feel a little bit difficult for a while.

"The interior space of this underground cave is indeed much larger than we imagined." Gray looked at the stalactite pillars that looked a little miniature because of the distance above his head, and whispered.

A large number of perceptions were released, and some vague black and white pictures were intermittently transmitted to Guta's mind.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that he was watching his own extinction expectantly.

Shaking his head, Guta said bluntly: "The depth of the five forks is at least 50 meters, and the heights are not the same. I can't perceive which one is correct."

Even if he was lucky enough to trigger the ultra-long-distance comprehensive perception that was not effective at that time, but limited by the harsh environment around him, 50 meters is already his limit.

"Then proceed according to the original plan. Each team chooses one channel, and the extra one is used as the last option. But I don't think our luck will be so bad that all four of the five selections fail."

Olga laughed, and said something that made Guta inexplicably feel like setting up a flag.

But as long as I don't answer these words, there shouldn't be any major problems, right?

The ancient pagoda of inexplicable metaphysics, I secretly thought of it in my heart.

Soon, based on the idea that as long as I don't use my brain, I will not be unlucky, Guta asked Mie Jin to pick a fork in the road based on intuition, and led his temporary team members to start in-depth exploration without hesitation.

……

Chapter 121 [The Laziness of the Thorn King] and the Huge Grilled Fish

After walking about [-] meters, the terrain under everyone's feet became lower and lower, and it was obvious that there was a continuous downward trend.

Except for the ancient tower with an old god on his face, everyone else was more or less nervous.

After all, according to the information they received from the staff before, the Purgatory Mountain they are currently on seems to be an active volcano, which may erupt at any time.

At that time, if magma pours in, they will be tens of meters or even nearly a hundred meters underground, and one of them will have to be a BBQ!

Fortunately, however, the surrounding temperature does not seem to be getting higher and higher as expected, and even compared with the entrance, it is a little cooler, and there is still a relatively cool wind. The famous hole floated out.

"Ren, you should be able to hold on, right?" In the blink of an eye, when they encountered another fork in the road, Guta took advantage of the time to stop and think, and shouted at Ren, who couldn't stop coughing.

This guy seems to have asthma. In such a place full of smoke and high temperature, it is really a bit uncomfortable.

Resisting the urge to continue coughing, Ren waved his hands and straightened up, "I'm fine, I've got an old problem... If it really fails, I won't hold on, after all, I'm still counting on surviving to go to the New World What about that day?"

Listening to the other party's miserable speech, Guta was speechless for a while.

If you really want to cherish your body, don't go into the volcano!

After all, I don't want to hunt...

Guta scolded a few words inwardly, but then he thought that hunters are such a strange species that dislikes honesty, so he didn't bother to complain anymore.

"Ancient Tower~ Ancient Tower, look there!" Suddenly, Mieju's cheerful voice came from beside his ears.

Following the girl's fingertips, Guta saw a crimson crystal that shone red and was extremely crystal clear next to the magma pool.

"Red lotus stone, no... red lotus crystal, this is a rare thing." Guta slowly walked in curiously, squatted down, and looked at the piece in front of him, which was almost as tall as a person. The surface was smooth enough to reflect himself A gigantic crystal of shadow.

"If Weiwei were here, she would probably go crazy."

With that guy's character of being unable to walk when he sees ores and precious materials, he probably yelled "I'm getting rich" at this time, took out a sledgehammer and started beating.

Seemingly thinking of that scene, Mie Jin giggled.

After watching for a while, I felt that the so-called red lotus crystal was just like that. Guta, who gradually lost interest, stood up slowly, turned around and looked at the crowd, "As usual, choose a road at random, we..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of water splashing from the back of his head.

Then his eyes went black and he couldn't see anything.

"Ancient Tower!" Mie Jin was taken aback, and then shouted loudly.

From the perspective of others, the entire upper body of the ancient pagoda at this time has been swallowed by the monster that suddenly drilled half of its body from the lava pool behind it, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The scene was quite frightening.

Soon, indistinct voices came intermittently from the somewhat similar mouths of the monster and the fish.

The black iron fist hit the monster's jaw heavily in the next second.

boom!

A ring-shaped air wave visible to the naked eye spread out, and after a painful howl, the monster fell back and fell into the magma pool behind, splashing countless bright red lava.

"I said why it's getting dark all of a sudden." After wiping away the hissing red liquid from his hair, Guta tapped his hands in a sudden realization.

"You are really fierce!" Ren looked at the magma that fell on the ground and melted the earth into a black mark in an instant. Facing the ancient tower that was almost unscathed and even his clothes were intact, he sincerely said Thumbs up.

"It's just some fancy little abilities, which can come in handy at this kind of time." Noticing the eyes of other people as if they were looking at monsters, Guta patted his messy clothes and explained a few words casually.

The reason why he was able to escape from the mouth of the monster just now is because the [Super Heat Resistance] he looted from the lava dragon can make him ignore damage at a certain temperature, and on the other hand, it is because he The ability plundered from Spinosaurus in the second round of trials.

【Laziness of the Thorn King】

[In non-attack mode, the defense power is greatly improved]

This ability is very interesting, it can only take effect when the ancient tower is in a non-combat state, but in contrast, its improvement in defense is really terrifying. According to the estimation of the ancient tower, it is almost as fast as myself in [armed strengthening] 1.5 times the defense power in the state.

What's even more exaggerated is that besides the ancient pagoda itself, the object of this ability blessing also includes his armor and clothes.

Although the reason is unclear, this ability is indeed useful at certain times.

In addition, as a matter of course, this is an ability with a lavender border, which is the so-called quasi-natural disaster level.

"Speaking of which, the results of the second round of trials seem to be pretty good." Guta thought to himself, scratching his cheek.

After the second round of trials, he counted and looted a total of four original fragments.

Among them, except for the [thorn king's laziness] of the frontal spinosaurus in the yard, the remaining three abilities are——

The [Electromagnetic Field] from the Thunderbolt Dragon, the [Wind Spear] from the Albino Raptor, and the [Deepening Chill] from the Ice Fox Dragon

【Electromagnetic field】

[Create a small-scale artificial electromagnetic field through high-energy current]

【Sharp Spear of Wind】(3/5)

[When using polearms, penetration is improved]

[The chill deepens] (1/?)

[The limit temperature of the low temperature capability is slightly lowered]

Among them, [Wind Sharp Spear] is one of the puzzles of [Wood Spirit Hammer] and [Fire Blade] that he already owns. If this is the case, there are only the last two puzzles left in this series that have not been collected yet. .

As for the remaining [Electromagnetic Field] and [Deepening Chill], one can simultaneously create an electromagnetic field that can disrupt the magnetic force when he releases high-voltage current, and the other directly improves his [White Knight], [White Chariot] The ultimate lethality of this type of cryogenic capability.

It can be said that it is very practical and there is no waste.

Of course, there is something strange that, although it is a puzzle ability, the denominator of [Deepening Chill] is a question mark.

This is the first time this has happened.

I don't even know what I want to express.

His thoughts slowly turned, and Guta turned his head to look at the magma pool with a strong red light behind him, "The feeling just now is a bit like a lava dragon?"

After recalling for a while, Guta basically confirmed what the monster that attacked him just now was.

As one of the very few monsters that can move freely in the magma, the lava dragon can be regarded as a relatively common species in volcanic areas. Of course, in terms of pure strength, it is not necessarily weaker than those rare monsters.

Although from the outside, it is actually a huge grilled fish.

But it's actually far more capable than it looks.

Speaking of which, my [Super Heat Resistant] was pulled from a certain lava dragon.

"Be careful, that lava dragon hasn't left!" a hunter from the same team suddenly shouted.

Almost at the same time, accompanied by a burst of red light soaring into the sky, the huge ichthyosaur species wrapped in thick magma directly smashed through a certain ground and surged out.

The bright red hot lava in the sky, like raindrops, sprinkled the sky and covered the crowd below.
