Luo Di held his breath, narrowed his eyes, and tried his best to calm his mind... In his heart, he muttered obscene words such as "I can't kill you with three arrows before this scumbag", trying not to let the spreading fear corrode his brain .
The huge head of the Chimera was dangling more than ten meters in front of him. The other party opened its mouth slightly, and looked extremely bad. Apparently, it was so dissatisfied with the braking sound of the mine truck just now that Roddy could Seeing the gas that distorts the air bubbling in its mouth, it looks like it's about to spew fire at any moment.
Its steps seem to be slow, but in fact, each step takes at least two meters. When the extremely oppressive body came to the front of the mine car, the light of the torch made it seem a little puzzled, and the figure paused. The pull beast tilted its head and looked at the torch on the mine cart. Just as Rody swallowed a mouthful of saliva, it opened its mouth without warning.
"boom!"
Rody didn't dare to move in the slightest, letting the scorching gas blow across in front of him without moving at all—at this moment, he had to be thankful that the place he was looking for was more suitable...
If there was another two or three meters away, I would be fucking Qiu Shaoyun now! ! !
All that flashed in his mind was the scene of the heroic sacrifice of the revolutionary martyrs in the Chinese textbook, his eyes were staring at the flames passing by in front of him, and he felt that the air he breathed could burn his lungs... But the luck in the misfortune - Luo Di had previously The torch was placed in the extended torch slot on the top of the minecart, and the extremely hot jet flame from the Chimera's mouth almost instantly melted the torch and the iron rod into ashes, but did not burn the minecart together.
Rody glanced at the "status bar" that was invisible to others, and the stealth technique was about to end in ten seconds.
Get out! What the hell are you trying to do!
Roddy yelled inwardly, but after the Chimera melted the torch, the surrounding area instantly darkened, and he couldn't see the scene in front of him clearly—fortunately, within a few seconds, the sound of the opponent's legs moving finally faded away. Obviously, he was wobbly returning to the cave.
"Clatter."
Every time the gigantic Chimera took a step, Roddy could hear the crashing sound of something falling on the ground, but he didn't dare to move, and he didn't even dare to breathe for two or three minutes after the stealth technique disappeared. Take a breath. After finally confirming that the Chimera had returned to the cave, Rody moved his somewhat stiff body, touched his cheek that was almost scalded by the scorching air, and thanked himself for saving his life again.
He turned his head, stretched out his hand toward the narrow hole that Sally had passed through, and said in a low voice, "Sally?"
A few seconds later, the fingertips hanging in the air touched Sally's icy palm. Roddy wanted to say something, but found that the little girl suddenly clenched her fingers. In the darkness, Rody heard a vague, even crying whisper from the opposite side: "You. You... Are you still alive?"
Apparently, the horrific spewing flames just now... made Sally mistakenly think that Rody must die.
"I'm lucky... Of course, it's also thanks to your brain turning faster than me. Well... now is not the time to talk nonsense, we need to clear the obstacles, but we must be careful not to make any noise, otherwise the big guy will come over."
The surrounding light was too dark, and Rody looked back at the entrance of the cave, which could no longer be seen clearly. There were only a few jumping flames left behind by the Chimera beast, which allowed him to barely recognize the surroundings. At this time, it is obvious that there are many nights and dreams, and it is the right way to leave quickly.
After hearing this, Sally immediately began to carry the pieces at the other end. In the darkness, the two of them tacitly stopped talking, and slowly planed away the stones and wood blocks blocking the tunnel with both hands like a foolish old man moving a mountain. After two hours of non-stop transporting, they finally successfully cleaned up the things between the rails and opened up a gap for the mine cart to pass through.
Both Roddy and Sally had many wounds on their hands, but at this time he didn't show any machismo and asked Sally to rest next to him, because time was running out, if he didn't do this, Chimera The beast's brain convulsed and came out for a walk again. It is estimated that no one can bear the other's anger.
After checking the minecart, Rody confirmed that it was not too damaged except for being blackened by the flames that passed by. Then he was about to take Sally and leave. After igniting the remade torch, he immediately found the ground There are a lot of shiny things on it.
Rody stopped in his tracks and made a "wait" gesture to Sally who was already sitting on the mine cart. He then took a few steps to these things, picked them up with his hand... and then completely froze in place.
"Aged Chimera Scale"
magic material
"Chimeras grow stronger with age, and so do the scales."
Roddy is no stranger to this kind of scales. He used to be a master leathermaker, and he has a very good understanding of the auxiliary materials for the production of leather armor, and he also understands the value of this kind of scales in his hands. The most precious raw materials are the products that fall from the OSS in the wild. Generally speaking, according to the classification level, these materials are excellent-grade "green" prefixes that are one level better than whiteboards. If Chimeras are killed, When its skin is peeled off, it turns out to be an excellent grade of "blue" or even an epic grade of "purple". These pieces of skin can be made into outer armor and inner armor according to their thickness, and they are all good things that can be sold at sky-high prices.
And the scales in Rody's hands now show the "blue" excellent level. This sudden harvest made him jump in his heart: if the equipment made of green fragments can reach 130% of the attributes of whiteboard equipment, then the blue fragments can achieve 200% attribute bonus and have a probability of adding additional attributes to the equipment !
Could it be because the Chimera was shedding its scales two years earlier
With this in mind, Rody began to look for the remaining scales on the ground without saying a word. He walked as lightly as possible, and he emptied the bread pocket, frantically throwing the scales that fell from the ground into the bag like a gold digger. After throwing it in, it was discovered that many scales were not of high quality, 70% of them were green characters, and there were even worthless white characters.
Do you want to go into the cave and have a look
Rody squinted his eyes and looked at the lair where the Chimera was hiding, and began to weigh the pros and cons in his heart—the scales in Rody's hands at this moment are not enough to make a piece of leather armor. Sets or even two sets of scales. But in this way he would face the risk of waking up the Chimera.
However, the Chimeras in Rody's memory will not wake up at will - it can even be said that any monster will not make noise no matter how low its level is, as long as it does not set foot in the "absolute warning range" around it or make loud noises when it is sleeping. Wake up each other.
Originally, this was not enough for Rody to move forward, but then he saw the "stealth skill" that had cooled down on the mysterious necklace on his chest. After thinking about it, he still walked towards the cave.
From the weak light source from the torch in the distance, Rody was able to see clearly where the gleaming scales were. The further he went in, the more scales there were on the ground. When he went about 50 meters deep, he actually saw A large thick scale suddenly appeared on the ground!
This is definitely a surprise. It is estimated that the Chimera has shaken its body in this place because of the itching when it shed its scales. Roddy found that there are even scales marked with the prefix "purple"!
As if he had found a treasure mountain, Rody threw out all the low-quality scales in the bag, and then selected a large scale with excellent leather quality. After everything was over, he carefully touched the side of the rock wall and returned the same way. The light here was extremely dim, and he could only move forward with the sense of touch. But just as he was about to walk out of the cave, he suddenly tripped over something under his feet. —
Rody stopped abruptly, his raised feet hovered in the air, and when he looked down, he could only see an extremely vague outline of a human figure.
It looks like a dead person.
Rody didn't notice this guy when he walked in. At this time, his feet were just on the opponent's head. Although he didn't step on it, the touch told Rody that the guy under his feet had become a completely rotten skeleton.
Seeing this scene, Rody bent down smoothly, and started a game that players are best at, "touching corpses" - Rody has dealt with this kind of corpses countless times during the years in the game, so even if it is now in reality In the same way, he didn't feel any discomfort with the corpse that even the rotten smell had disappeared.
The clothes were rotten and would break when touched, and Rody's chest was sunken into a big hole with just a little force. From the charred and incomplete clothes of the other party, Rody temporarily judged that this unlucky guy died under the flames of the Chimera. However, it is obvious that the corpses in this kind of place are likely to be miners. Rody, who had no hope, didn't expect to find anything, but he was careful, and finally touched a finger bone that was so fine that it could not be recognized. rings.
It was a bit of a surprise, but he wasn't interested in looking at the displayed attributes now. After stepping over the corpse, Rody quickly rushed to the mine cart, threw a bag full of scales onto the cart, and immediately pushed it and started running!
"Get down!"
The wheels of the minecart started to turn, and the noise immediately filled the cave. Roddy knew that he had to leave here immediately, otherwise the Chimeras who were not asleep would rush over at a faster speed—the initial section was relatively gentle throughout the tunnel Yes, so even if Roddy pushed the car like crazy, the acceleration of the entire mine car still did not increase.
"Boom!"
A sudden muffled noise made Rody understand that the big animal had woken up and rushed over. His legs were running with all his strength, but when he turned his head, he was horrified to find that the Chimera had appeared in front of him. Cave door!
"Ol' kah!"
Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Rody immediately activated the stealth technique, and his figure disappeared behind the mine cart, while Sally inside the mine cart did not appear because of her lowered figure. Not good, after it appeared here angrily, the first thing it noticed was a mine cart that was moving inexplicably into the distance.
The IQ of the Chimera seems to be insufficient to judge why the obstacle here just disappeared. The shuttle-shaped head looked at the strange scene in front of it in great doubt, and stopped in place for more than three seconds.
These three seconds saved the lives of Roddy and Sally.
