Even though the purple-level backpack was one-fiftieth the weight, Lou Feier still had trouble lifting the troll's corpse.
Zeng Tao had now lost her strength, so she called Ma Hongwei to help clean up.
Ma Hongwei has increased his strength. Although he has not yet reached the intermediate mutation, he is much stronger than Lou Feier in terms of strength alone.
As for the others, it was too hot in the tree house to come out.
If it wasn't too hot, Xu Xin would definitely come out to deal with it himself.
The explosion tore the giant's body into pieces, and part of it was even blown hundreds of meters away.
The two of them took a lot of effort to collect the remaining parts of the explosion site and walked to the main tree house.
"Has this arm been blown here?" Ma Hongwei then saw the huge green-skinned arm covered with red blood lines in front of the main tree house.
The bloodstains on the arm had now faded away, indicating that the arm had lost its life.
"It seems that the troll that was blown into pieces cannot be resurrected like us." Lou Feier punched the arm.
Although he had lost his life, the huge muscles in his arms were still incredibly strong and hard.
“…That’s not necessarily true.” Ma Hongwei glanced at her and was about to ask something when the two of them were pulled up.
"Have you finished cleaning up?" Xu Xin directly pulled the two of them to the first floor.
Before the expansion of the first floor, half of the space was used as a cold storage, and the other half is still empty, which is just right for cutting large pieces.
At this time, many people gathered around.
"Are we going to decompose the body of the troll just now?" one of the survivors asked in a low voice to the people around him.
"Of course it is!" Everyone was very excited and looked over here with wide eyes.
"I'm so excited! I can actually watch the decomposition of the troll up close!"
"It should be possible to decompose purple-level materials!"
"Purple grade? What's purple grade? It must be material above purple grade!"
"Forgive my ignorance, but what level is above purple level?"
"I don't know either!" the man said confidently, "But it must be above the purple level! Intermediate mutant creatures have a chance to cut out purple levels. This is a troll that is dozens of meters tall!"
"Oh my god! It's so big!"
Lou Feier had already released the lower half of the troll's body, shocking everyone around her, including Xu Xin.
Because the weapon pierced directly into the troll's chest and exploded there, the upper body was damaged more severely, but the lower half of the body below the abdomen was still relatively intact.
You don't get this feeling when you look at it from a few hundred meters away, but when you get closer, it's so ridiculously huge!
It was spread horizontally in the tree house, filling up most of the tree house!
This foot alone is several times bigger than a human!
People around began to gather around the giant and look at him, and some even reached out to touch him.
“This is too strong!”
"Brother Xin and his friends really killed a giant troll and brought it back!"
Although the trolls' body structure is similar to that of humans, and the similar shape may make people feel uncomfortable, these people are not afraid. Both men and women have curiosity and excitement in their eyes.
They are all people who have survived in this world until now.
Those who are afraid would have died long ago.
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble." Xu Xin wanted to disassemble it directly, but when he saw this big thing, he suddenly felt that the small boning knife in his hand was very useless.
Moreover, as the people around me said, this thing is likely to be able to decompose gold-level materials, but...
His boning knife is only purple level!
His boning knife is not a basic tool and cannot be decomposed into higher-level resources.
This is a bit uncomfortable...
He suddenly didn't want to decompose anymore.
but…
You can't keep them all, right
"Alright, alright, go back and play your mahjong!"
Li Wenxi also felt that the people around him were too chaotic, so he quickly drove them to the other side.
Xu Xin shook his head in distress, then looked up and saw Ma Hongwei's frown.
On the other side, Lou Feier was lying by the window, looking around outside.
Jin Yue, at the request of Lou Feier, had just jumped out of the window of the tree house to look for the tiny troll body parts scattered around.
"What's wrong? What did you think of?" Xu Xin asked.
"Brother Xin." Ma Hongwei pointed at the troll's body, then at the purple-level backpack, "Lou Fei'er and I didn't find the troll's head. Its head is gone."
…
The head is missing
Xu Xin's eyelids twitched.
Can’t find the header
"Was he blown away?" Li Wenxi closed the door over there and pushed everyone else over there. After hearing the conversation between the two, he turned around and asked.
Ma Hongwei shook his head. “That’s the head of a troll. It’s so big that we can’t miss it even if it flies far away. I just asked Lou Feier about it. We both thought the other got the head, but in the end… neither of us got it.”
"… Is it possible that the head was blown to pieces?" Xu Xin guessed.
"That shouldn't be possible." Ma Hongwei shook his head. "At least, Lou Fei'er and I didn't find any fragments of the skull."
this…
At this time, Lou Feier also looked around and came back.
"How is it?" Xu Xin asked.
Lou Feier shook her head: "There is no head, and there is nothing around. It must be gone, otherwise it would be impossible to see it."
There was bare jungle all around, and a head that big could be seen from thousands of meters away.
Not to mention that although the explosion was powerful, it was basically impossible to blow such a large head so far away.
This is really far from the truth!
"... Didn't we kill that troll?" Li Wenxi asked tentatively, "Did its head... run away on its own?"
She expressed what the people present were thinking.
but…
How does the head move by itself?!
Under the cover of that mushroom cloud, Gulu Gulu rolled away? !
No way…
How can one not die if his body is torn into pieces
"I always thought that it wouldn't die so easily." Ma Hongwei said, "That big guy is much stronger than us. Even if we..."
He pointed at himself and Lou Fei'er and said, "Even we can have a chance to revive when we are on the verge of death, so why can't this big guy have one?"
Lou Feier thought that was not certain: "Maybe it was blown up? We can recover because we are special. Look at those ordinary mutant creatures, can't they be resurrected?"
"But do you think..." Ma Hongwei glanced outside, "that big guy, he is just... a little bigger, his skin is a little greener, and he looks a little uglier. If you insist, isn't he just... a big mutant giant human? He doesn't even have hair on his body, which is completely different from those hairy weirdos. Instead... he looks a bit like us."
… And he does have a point.
It made so much sense that it silenced everyone around him.
Even Xu Xin hadn't thought about this aspect. After hearing what Ma Hongwei said, he even felt a little creepy.
A map appeared in my mind.
There are no bright red spots around.
"Wait..." He suddenly thought of something.
He was so excited when killing the troll just now that he forgot one thing.
In the previous jungle hunting activities, and all the activities thereafter, whenever he fought against mutated creatures, he had a method to verify the death of the creatures.
integral!
As long as the prey is killed, a prompt will appear in his mind: Kill XXX, get points: XX points.
But this time…
No!
This time there really isn’t!
Those who participated in the attack this time, including Lou Feier, Ma Hongwei, Zeng Tao and others, were all people he had contracted. Logically speaking, even if he had not used the weapon to kill the troll, the points should have been counted on him.
But no!
Trolls don't count towards the points
That's impossible.
"... The troll may not really be dead." Xu Xin's expression instantly turned much uglier.
He told the others what he had just thought of.
"this… "
The people around fell silent again.
There is a high probability that the blood-marked troll is not dead!
Its head ran away by itself!
Or... who took him away
It seems ridiculous that the head was taken away, but in fact, Lou Feier and the others just brought the troll's body back!
Although the backpack cannot hold living things, as long as there are tools that can hold living things, such as his bracelet...
Damn, he couldn't even imagine it!
what is going on!
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
It's no use worrying about it now.
The only thing they can do now is to strengthen themselves.
Well, after this hot summer is over, he must make another trip to the hilly resource area.
"Ma Hongwei, go back and continue researching your heavy crossbow. Your achievements are our biggest reliance now. Also, please replenish the crossbows that were damaged this time."
If it weren't for his heavy crossbow, they might all have died at the hands of the trolls today.
"Okay, then I'll go back, Brother Xin."
Today, Ma Hongwei saw the power of the heavy crossbow he made, and now he is feeling a little excited but is suppressing his emotions.
Although it may not have killed the troll, at least it was beaten to pieces!
He was now full of energy and did not linger any longer, going straight back to his tree house.
"Jin Yue is still outside, right? Go with her and look around to see if there is anything worth noting."
"Yeah." Lou Feier nodded, and then was put down from the tree house by Xu Xin.
Li Wenxi is now talking to Li Yajun and Niu Fugui about the current situation.
The two of them also lost their previous excitement, and their expressions gradually became worried.
Xu Xin walked over and said, "You guys, don't tell anyone else about this and don't create unnecessary panic."
As he spoke, he patted Li Wenxi's head gently.
"Hmm..." Li Wenxi also realized that what he did was not right, and said a little embarrassedly, "I was wrong. They won't tell anyone."
"Don't worry, Brother Xin, I keep my mouth shut." Niu Fugui patted his chest.
"... If that troll can recover in the future, he won't come back for revenge, right?" Li Yajun was much more worried than Niu Fugui, and said in a panic.
“No, no.” Li Wenxi thought for a moment, immediately shrank his neck, and quickly waved his hands, “Even if it’s not dead, it only has a head left. It’s impossible for the whole body to grow back quickly? Besides, we are so strong. If it had any brains, it shouldn’t have come back to find us, otherwise it would have been blown to pieces again!”
"… You're right." Xu Xin nodded and gave a reassuring smile, "Indeed, at least we should be safe during this period of time."
"Right!" Li Wenxi grabbed Xu Xin's arm and laughed.
Li Yajun and Niu Fugui looked at each other and felt much more relieved.
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.
His attitude was just for show, just to make them not worry too much.
But he himself was very worried.
Because he was almost certain that if the giant was not dead, it would come back.
Why did it attack the tree house
Because... the key.
As long as the key is here, it will come back to look for it.
This secret key...
When Qin Fu wakes up, we will interrogate him thoroughly!
"Oh, right!" Li Wenxi reached into his backpack, took out a block of metal with a strange metallic color, and handed it to Xu Xin. "I successfully smelted it this morning, and I forgot to give it to you!"
Under Xu Xin's identification ability, this piece of metal exudes a purple grade luster.
Purple grade meteorite iron!
He immediately reached out and took it.
Meteoric Iron (Purple): The lowest quality meteoric iron.
Meteorite iron comes from meteorites that fall from strange small celestial bodies in space. It has extremely strong hardness, toughness, and memory. It is extremely difficult to smelt and is the best material for building certain facilities and tools.
Good man, the first sentence of the introduction made him smile helplessly.
The worst quality is okay.
The lowest quality is the purple grade.
but…
Facilities and tools
"Let's go up and see what this thing can do."
Xu Xin pulled Li Wenxi up to the workshop on the second floor.
"Eh? The giant corpse below..."
Xu Xin reached out to touch the weapons and armor crafting table and immediately began to check the production list.
What disappointed him was that this meteorite could not be used to make weapons.
Because the blueprints of various weapons have not been increased.
"It can't be used as a weapon..." Li Wenxi was also a little disappointed.
"It doesn't matter actually. Our steel is very strong." Xu Xin said as he continued paddling downwards.
Is there…is there
have!
When he saw this new blueprint, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Meteorite Boning Knife (Purple): A boning knife made of meteorite greatly improves the decomposition efficiency of the boning knife compared to a stone boning knife, and slightly increases the grade of the decomposed material. At the same time, a meteorite boning knife can decompose materials that are one grade higher than the boning knife.
A boning knife that can break down into higher-grade materials!
He just saw the introduction of making "tools" and thought of this. He came over to take a look and found it was true!
It actually exists!
This is really what you want.
The meteorite boning knife only needs a piece of meteorite to make, and he can make it now.
However, he did not make it immediately, but asked Li Wenxi: "How many pieces of meteorite iron do you have now?"
"Not much." Li Wenxi pointed at the piece in Xu Xin's hand and said, "Including your piece, I have only melted three pieces in total."
Xu Xin nodded.
He didn't rush to make it, but instead went through the various workbenches.
There was nothing found.
Until he touched the first workbench he made when he first came to this world.
Crafting table.
The original workbench.
"Wow! This, this, this...!" Li Wenxi, who was standing nearby, also widened his eyes. "A high-end workbench!"
That’s right, purple-grade meteorite can be used to make a more advanced... workbench!
His current workbenches are all from the original batch of green-level workbenches that were made.
These workbenches cannot be upgraded, but will serve their purpose.
Although it was a green-level weapon and armor crafting table, it could produce purple-level weapons, so he didn't care much about it.
But now, there are many new blueprints in the crafting list of the crafting table!
Purple level workbench!
Weapon and armor crafting table (purple), engraving and painting workbench (purple), and even an electrical appliance crafting table (purple)!
This meteorite can be used to upgrade the workbench!
If you upgrade the workbench, new things will definitely appear to improve their strength!
but…
"... A lot of materials are needed." Xu Xin sighed slightly.
One workbench requires three pieces of purple-grade meteorite.
He could only make one of them with what he had.
"It's okay." Li Wenxi said immediately, "I have expanded my smelting room. I now have twenty furnaces. As long as there is enough coal, I can melt it!"
It was very hot at home, but it didn't have much impact on her furnace, after all, the temperature in the smelting chamber was always very high.
It was just too hot to run back.
"That's good." Xu Xin laughed immediately, "Then it depends on you."
"However, we still have to focus on smelting steel recently. We consumed too many heavy crossbows this time. Every shot is a resource! We also need to replenish it. It really consumes too much..."
Li Wenxi had a headache again.
"Next time someone comes to seek refuge, ask for more."
"Humph, next time I must have half the people! My people are the busiest..."
Xu Xin returned to the weapons and armor crafting table and made a meteorite boning knife (purple).
An extremely sharp knife, it looked like it was from a different generation than his purple-grade stone boning knife.
Next, it’s time to get to work!
He returned to the first floor and looked at the lower half of the troll's body, which was squeezed into the single floor of the tree house.
Then he looked again at the small boning knife in his hand.
…How do you break this down
