It seems that they were wrong to protect the newcomers too tightly. If they want to get food, they must kill as many prey as possible. If they want to see the prey, they have to stay away from the newcomers. The newcomers will become the targets of predators. Target.
After killing a group of wild wolves attacking the newcomers in front again, and obtaining a red fruit that can fill their stomachs and increase their agility by 0.1, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize decided to implement a new plan.
Next, the two of them took themselves as the center of the circle and scattered thirty newcomers in a circle from the inside to the outside. The newcomers closest to the two were all 100 meters away, and the farthest was 300 meters away. out, and then the whole circle slowly moves forward together as a whole.
Xia Ruize was already good at long-distance combat, and Cheng Huaiqian also had the means of long-distance attack. Next, what the two of them did was push the circle forward slowly, while constantly dealing with the prey attracted by the "bait".
As long as the number of attracted prey is not so large that Xia Ruize can't deal with it for a while, Cheng Huaiqian will only do auxiliary attacks. The reason is very clear to him. When killing the same number of prey, Xia Ruize will explode more treasure chests than him, anyway. His teammates would always share the treasure chest equally with him, and Cheng Huaiqian ate softly with confidence.
The newcomers gradually discovered that after the predators who tried to attack them were killed by the captains, treasure boxes would explode from the corpses of some prey. Of course, the newcomers only dared to be curious about what was in the treasure chests in their minds, and no newcomers dared to touch those treasure chests privately. treasure chest.
However, as long as you are not stupid, anyone can guess that there must be good things in the treasure chest, otherwise the two captains would not have made this arrangement on purpose.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize discovered that the seven injured rookies were the most attractive to prey, and they even attracted a group of predators to rush up in about half an hour.
As time went on and the number of times increased, when the tortured newcomer faced the charging wild wolf again, he lost his eyes. Anyway, these rushing animals will definitely fall down before attacking them, so there is no need to waste their feelings on being frightened.
As for the reason, apart from the seven injured newcomers standing on the outermost circle, the biggest possibility is that the unhealed wounds on their bodies will continue to emit a bloody smell, attracting predators.
It's a pity that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian couldn't find a small pool of water until around one o'clock in the afternoon. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian couldn't find it. of animals.
Whether it is a wolf or a vulture, after being killed, the corpse will quickly turn black and deteriorate, and even the vulture will not be interested.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian clearly realized that the animals and humans in this task world cannot be eaten directly, they can barely get food by killing wild animals to obtain treasure chests.
So, after seeing that rare and precious small water pool from a distance, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian gathered all the newcomers who had left and looked at the small water pool together.
Because around the small water pool, there are several circles of animals grabbing water and drinking. Obviously, if the small water pool is regarded as a bait, the attraction is much stronger than that of newcomers.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian rode at the front and discussed the plan in a low voice. After the discussion, Cheng Huaiqian rode away on horseback. Xia Ruize turned around and said to a group of newcomers who were paralyzed on the ground:
"If I remember correctly, your main mission requires killing wilderness animals. This mission is actually not difficult, because there is no limit to what animals need to be killed. You still have a chance for those smaller animals.
We've been walking all morning and one noon, and we haven't seen anything to eat. At present, the only way to get food is to get the treasure chest that pops up after killing animals. There is food in the treasure chest. I suspect that if you want to eat in this world, you have to kill animals to explode the treasure chest. "
With that said, Xia Ruize pointed to the small pool in the distance, and reminded:
"Next, we will attack the animals near the water pool. Some of them may come out. If you have ideas, measure your actual ability and try to attack."
After the reminder, Xia Ruize galloped away, leaving behind a group of bewildered newcomers.
Of course, not everyone is at a loss. Among the newcomers, they have long noticed that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian will explode treasure chests after attacking animals, and there are some ambitious people who have long wanted to try it for themselves. For them, now is the best opportunity .
So, after Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian both left, some of the thirty newcomers struggled to get up and left the crowd in twos and threes. From the rest of the newcomers, it was clear that those who left were holding thick branches or sharp stones in their hands. make weapons.
And most of the people were obviously empty-handed before!
At this time, it is easy to distinguish which newcomers are quickly adapting to the environment, silently prepared in advance, and know how to hide in the system space, and which newcomers are just being driven forward in a daze.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian rode their horses towards the small pool at the same time from two directions. The attack arrived before anyone arrived.
Xia Ruize used the infinite energy version of the laser gun obtained in the previous mission world. Not only does the yellow low-grade laser gun not need to worry about energy problems, it also requires almost no energy storage time, and can achieve rapid bursts. The terrifying laser gun is a crushing victory against these ordinary wild animals.
Cheng Huaiqian's long-range attack method is very special. With a light flick of his finger, small black balls are shot at the target rapidly, without breaking the skin, they will directly penetrate into the prey's body and burst open.
Under the joint encirclement and suppression of the two, the area around the small pool, which had already been fighting openly and secretly for water, immediately became chaotic.
Some animals quickly scattered to escape, and some animals risked injury and went upstream just to drink two sips of water.
In the end, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian killed more than 40 of the more than fifty animals surrounded by the small water pool. Among the more than ten animals that escaped, three hares, one elk and one python were hunted and killed by the team formed by the newcomers. The team surrounded and killed them.
After experiencing the tragic fate of being used as bait by the two captains, the newcomers did not benefit completely. At least they gradually got used to it after facing wild animals many times, and they were not so afraid in their hearts. He intercepted the fleeing animals and successfully succeeded.
When the middle-aged man ran towards Xia Ruize with a blue fruit in his hand, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were observing the water in the small pool. Logically speaking, wild animals can drink the water, so they should be able to drink it too.
But in fact, the water in the pool was black, and when it was filled in a container, it didn't take long for the edge of the container to make a slight "sizzling" sound, and it turned out to be corroded upon closer inspection.
"The water here is undrinkable. Those animals have adapted to the environment and evolved a stomach that is invulnerable to poison. We don't have it."
Shaking his head regretfully, Xia Ruize put the container and water by the pool, planning to see how the container would be corroded later.
"Team Xia! Team Xia!" The middle-aged man finally ran up to Xia Ruize out of breath, and enthusiastically sent the blue fruit in his hand to Xia Ruize, courteously saying:
"Captain Xia, I killed a boa constrictor and opened a treasure chest. There is such a fruit in the treasure chest. It is said that it can increase energy. Let me give it a try."
Xia Ruize took the blue fruit, and a reminder popped up:
[Blue fruit: eat it to replenish energy, spirit +0.1]
It turned out that the fruit burst by the boa constrictor can increase the value of mental power. This information is more important to Xia Ruize, so he flipped his hands and took out a ginkgo fruit that can replenish water and increase physical fitness, and a red fruit that can fill his stomach and increase agility. The middle-aged man replied:
"I've accepted your blue fruit, and I'll give you these two. These two are more practical for you now."
The middle-aged man came to give the blue fruit with the purpose of pleasing Xia Ruize, so how could he accept double the reward? Just as he was about to decline the politeness, the big knife in Cheng Huaiqian's hand waved in front of the middle-aged man's eyes, preventing him from declining:
"What Team Xia says is what they say, and it's enough for Team Xia to say everything."
Being stared at coldly by Cheng Huaiqian, the middle-aged man immediately withdrew his refusal and thanked him vigorously.
Xia Ruize smiled at Cheng Huaiqian, and suddenly felt that it was good for his teammates to be strong, at least it saved him a lot of trouble.
Cheng Huaiqian hooked Xia Ruize's lips, and then continued to ask the middle-aged man:
"Besides the treasure chest, do your watches have any hints?"
"No more, it means 'kill a python and get a blue fruit'."
The middle-aged man was very upbeat, and directly showed the task reminder on his watch to the two captains.
Sure enough, after he killed the boa constrictor, he was only prompted to get the blue fruit, and did not directly get the hint of attribute points.
In addition to the middle-aged man, there are two newcomers who also chased Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize at this time. One of them did not reveal the treasure chest and was secretly annoyed. Seeing this, they also stepped forward to show their watches. The prompt is simpler, just say "kill a hare".
Another rookie broke out of the treasure chest and got a red fruit, but he was worried that the two captains would snatch the rookie's loot, so he swallowed it in one gulp.
Now I regret it. If I knew it earlier, I would have acted like a good person and sent the red fruit. Maybe I would have gotten two fruits as a reward. Now it’s a good thing, but it’s not good to show my watch information to express my loyalty. It’s really a mistake.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian didn't bother to care about the small thoughts of the newcomers. During the process of getting back on the horse and returning to the main force, they discussed the comparison of the difficulty of the task world between the two novices.
"Our novice world is relatively difficult, and it is more difficult to kill barbarians, so after killing them, there will be attribute rewards, in addition to treasure chests.
The difficulty of this novice world is relatively low. As long as you have the courage, those animals are relatively easy to kill, so there is no kill reward, but there may be a treasure chest. "
Cheng Huaiqian read the mission reminders of the two newcomers one after another, and found that the rewards these newcomers received after killing animals were far worse than the rewards they received after killing barbarians.
"Low difficulty is more suitable for newcomers who have just been pulled in. Of course, it is not bad for us. At present, the fruit that can increase the four attributes has burst out."
Xia Ruize was content and happy. Four small fruits with different colors and slightly different shapes appeared in his hand. After clicking, he concluded:
"It is already known that bison will explode yellow fruits that can replenish physical strength and increase strength by 0.1;
Wild wolves, hares and elks will pop red fruits that can fill their stomachs and increase agility by 0.1;
Boa constrictors will explode blue fruits that can replenish energy and increase mental power by 0.1;
Vultures and squirrels will burst ginkgo fruit that can quench thirst and increase physical fitness by 0.1. Next, if we can meet more wild animals, we can conclude more rules. "
Even though the attribute point increase of 0.1 seems to be very small, it is worth 100 survival points in the main god, not to mention that those animals will hardly pose a threat to Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian. The accumulation of attribute points is also very considerable, Xia Ruize is very satisfied, this is really a welfare world, with low difficulty and great rewards, which makes people feel at ease.
After returning to the area where the newcomers gathered, Xia Ruize made the 9 newcomers who left the team just now to try to intercept and kill wild animals stand at the front of all the newcomers, and praised:
"These nine newcomers took action just now, and some of them have obtained very good results. If you want to obtain it, you need to fight for it yourself."
Then, Xia Ruize informed all the newcomers of the types of fruits that may be released by various wilderness animals known so far, so that the newcomers could aim at suitable prey according to their ability.
After Xia Ruize finished speaking, Cheng Huaiqian added coldly:
"Before you start, don't forget to evaluate your own strength objectively. We won't have time to save you in the melee. If you provoke animals that you can't solve without authorization, you will bear the consequences yourself.
Well, continue to rest, haven't you been clamoring for a rest? From now on, you can move around here at will, and we will guard this water pool and continue to wait for the prey to come. "
After Cheng Huaiqian finished the training, he called his teammates to leave together. The pool is the bait, but these newcomers can't be wasted.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian rode to a higher hill on the other side, and they could see the situation of the newcomers unobstructed.
Here, after the rookies who had been completely let go looked at each other for a while, they made up their own calculations.
A newcomer asked the nine people who were praised what they got? Among the nine people, three of them actually burst into fruit, but Xia Ruize did not specify, and no one else knew who was so lucky to get off to a good start.
After thinking for a while, the middle-aged man stood up and introduced himself to the other newcomers:
"I'm relatively old, so you can call me Lao Li. I grew up in a water town, and I often met snakes, so I knew how to catch snakes. I was lucky just now, and I killed a relatively small python. There was a treasure chest that exploded. I originally wanted to give the blue fruit to Team Xia, but Team Xia gave me two fruits instead."
As he said that, two fruits appeared in Lao Li's hands, one red and one white. He first held up the white fruit and said to the other newcomers:
"This white fruit is said to quench thirst and increase physical fitness by 0.1."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Li stuffed the ginkgo fruit into his mouth, and the fruit that melted in his mouth turned into a stream of nectar, which nourished his thirsty body and gave him a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.
The other newcomers looked at the genuinely happy expression on Lao Li's face eagerly, and collectively swallowed a mouthful of saliva, only to feel that their thirsty throats were about to smoke.
Seeing Lao Li immersed in enjoyment and forgetting his surroundings, finally a newcomer pushed him unbearably, and asked, "What about the other one?"
Only now did Lao Li come back to his senses, he had never thought that Bai Guo had such great power, and he couldn't help but be addicted to it. Woke up at this time, Lao Li quickly raised the red fruit and said:
"This red fruit is said to fill the stomach and increase agility by 0.1."
After speaking, Lao Li couldn't wait to swallow the red fruit.
The red fruit will not melt in the mouth, so it needs to be chewed and swallowed. During this process, the soft and firm flesh turns between the lips and teeth, and the flesh is very fragrant. What is even more amazing is that after the fruit is swallowed into the stomach, the hungry stomach that has been clamoring for hunger finally subsides , the sense of satisfaction from eating wells up, there is nothing happier than being full when you are too hungry!
Watching Lao Li swallowing ginkgo and red fruits one after another, his face was full of happiness, and the envious and jealous eyes of all the newcomers almost burned Lao Li.
After regaining his senses, Lao Li rubbed his hair in embarrassment. He originally intended to cooperate with Xia Ruize's work and wanted to inspire the fighting spirit of other newcomers by showing his harvest, but now it seemed that others hated him, and Lao Li felt a little helpless.
However, after eating ginkgo and red fruits one after another, Lao Li felt that most of his tired body recovered after walking all morning, and his head became more flexible. He left the crowd on his own, and walked towards the place where Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were resting.
After Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian stood still on the small hill, Cheng Huaiqian noticed that no animals dared to gather around the pool for a while, so he took out a computer-sized box from the space, put it on the ground, and it bounced away. Expands into a tent.
Seeing the surprised expressions of his teammates, Cheng Huaiqian proudly took Xia Ruize's shoulders, warmly carried him to the tent, and introduced:
"Come, come, visit the mobile tent I prepared, haha, it is specially prepared for this kind of task that does not go to the village and does not go to the shop, and you will never have to sleep in the wilderness again."
Xia Ruize inspected it in amazement, and found that although the tent was small, it had all kinds of facilities.
There is no shortage of lockers and small tables. A bed folded on the wall can be 1.5 meters wide when fully opened. There is a small bathroom at the edge of the tent, which is equipped with automatic collection of moisture in the air to condense domestic water. The equipment can even be supplied for bathing.
What's even more amazing is that there is also a small refrigerator. If you put the fruit in it, you can eat iced fruit in a hot day after a while. The solar panel on the top of the tent is responsible for collecting light energy and converting it into electrical energy. Simple cooking with hot water and cooking can be realized, and even air conditioning can be used to cool down!
Of course, these are not the most important things. After washing his hands, Cheng Huaiqian quickly opened the folding bed, patted the clean and soft bed, and invited Xia Ruize: "Come and try, this is the bed I specially picked. The main god's assessment is the most comfortable."
Looking at his teammate who wanted to turn him to the bed, Xia Ruize was stunned for a long time, and finally realized that his face was flushed, and he waved his hand to refuse, "No, it's not appropriate."
When they were in the novice world before, the conditions were really rough. The two of them had no suitable resting place at all, so they could only make do with each other. But the novice world is over, and it is not appropriate to continue to squeeze together.
"You, what's the name of this tent? It's very useful. I'll buy one another day. And let's just rest now. There are newcomers over there who want us to protect, and the water pool needs to be watched."
Under Cheng Huaiqian's resentful eyes, Xia Ruize tried to change the subject, he still hadn't figured out the situation, why did he want to rest in broad daylight
Cheng Huaiqian said in an aggrieved tone:
"When I bought this, I wanted to lie down with you. I carefully selected it for a long time. I haven't fallen asleep for three days. It will take a long time for animals to gather by the pool, and we have been walking all morning. The rookies are resting, and we can rest too."
Seeing Cheng Huaiqian's handsome face slightly wrinkled, his bright eyes staring at him with aggrieved and expectant eyes, Xia Ruize blushed and covered his beating heart, hey, what's going on? Why does he think such a teammate is cute? I'm afraid he's broken
"But...but..."
Xia Ruize's intuition always felt that something was wrong, but his brain was a little confused now, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Fortunately, at this time, Lao Li walked outside the tent and called out tentatively:
"Captain Xia? Captain Cheng?"
"Someone is here, I'll go take a look first!"
A ready-made excuse fell from the sky, Xia Ruize quickly explained, and then escaped from the small and airtight tent that made his heart feel uncomfortable.
As soon as Xia Ruize left, there was no aggrieved expression on Cheng Huaiqian's face. He touched his chin solemnly and thought suspiciously: Isn't it said on the Internet that showing weakness and acting like a baby will arouse the other party's desire to protect and show off? Why does this trick seem to have no effect on teammates
If Xia Ruize knew what Cheng Huaiqian was thinking, he would definitely give him a brainstorm and make him think about what strategy he was looking at. !
It's a pity that Xia Ruize didn't know what strange knowledge Cheng Huaiqian had added in the past month or so. Now Xia Ruize is forcing what happened in the tent to the back of his mind and listening carefully to the thoughts of Lao Li who came to him.
"Captain Xia, my name is Li Mingcheng, you can call me Xiao Li, I want to ask you something, let me tell you first, see if it's okay.
That's right, I want to kill animals in the wilderness now, but the weapons are not very handy. Look, can you lend me a weapon first? Just treat it as investing in me, I will give you two-thirds of the treasure chest I got, you see... "
Li Mingcheng asked earnestly, while carefully observing Xia Ruize's face. Once Xia Ruize showed displeasure at being offended, he would immediately stop talking.
Fortunately, Xia Ruize patiently listened to him without any special expression from the beginning to the end, and Li Mingcheng was relieved anyway.
In Li Mingcheng's opinion, weapons are actually quite sensitive under the current circumstances. You can tell from the performance of the two captains that powerful weapons are very useful. What if the two captains feel that his wanting to borrow weapons is a restless and threatening move? , he will be miserable.
Xia Ruize and Li Mingcheng thought differently. He looked Li Mingcheng up and down, and finally remembered this middle-aged man who had behaved well from the beginning.
