Kaqi was so choked that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, put away his probing thoughts, looked around, and said: "If I remember correctly, this passage... seems to be the 'Death Passage' leased by the Huasheng Consortium. ?” Speaking of which, he glanced at Du Dian.
Du Dian said indifferently: "It seems that you have a good memory."
Seeing him admit it, Kaqi frowned slightly, and tightened his fingers holding the powder box slightly.
Hei Scar, who was pushing the small primitive cannon in front, heard Kaqi's words, turned his head in astonishment, looked at Du Dian and said, "This, is this the death passage?"
When Guinness and Lao Jin saw his reaction, they suddenly realized that these four words were not simple names, their faces changed slightly, and they looked at Du Dian.
Du Dian saw the suspicious appearance of several people, and said indifferently: "Come to hunt outside the wall, and you are still afraid of death, isn't it a bit 'worried'?"
Lao Jin and Hei Ba smiled wryly and said nothing more.
Guinise glanced at Du Dian, seeing that he didn't mean to explain, she looked away, looked around, and her other free hand was quietly attached to the standard hunting saber around her waist.
After a while, everyone came to a place seven or eight miles away from the giant wall.
Du Dian took out the map, which was described in great detail, covering the entire area outside the wall, and there were eight different badges on it. Du Di'an knew them all. They were the six major financial groups and the military department. The last one was Ryan. The family crest is located in a small area outside the wall of the passage of death where he is standing.
The areas on the left and right sides of this passage are respectively occupied by the Scott Consortium and the Green Consortium, and are divided into small areas, divided into area codes, ranging from zero to a dozen or even twenty. Only outside the area he was in was a gray area, representing an unswept area.
This is a unified and updated map reached by the various consortiums during the long run-in, so as to facilitate the identification of each other's areas.
Du Dian glanced at it and took out another map. This is a map traded with the Huasheng Consortium. The paper is yellow and rough. The papermaking technology ten years ago was still very poor. The lines drawn by the pencil are a bit blurred. The map only has this According to the records outside the passage, it is divided into three areas. According to the scale below, the first area is about forty miles away from the huge wall. Most of the monsters inhabiting it are hunting level 12 to 25.
In the second area outside the first area, the area is very wide and about seventy miles long. It is recorded that the monster inhabiting it is "Jingzui Dilong". Seven monsters!
Even advanced hunters would turn around and run away when they saw such a monster, without any room for fighting.
The third outermost area is the limit of exploration by the hunters of the Huasheng Consortium. There are no records, only a black × mark.
This map has already been looked at by Du Dian many times. Now that he glanced at it, he roughly confirmed the area he is currently in. About four miles away on the left side, there is a small lake where the devil claw crocodile lives, and the hunting level is ten. The existence of Nine belongs to amphibious monsters. Among the monsters with hunting level below 20, it is one of the more famous ones. Its excellent lurking ability and amazing night vision ability make it a killer in the dark night and in the lake. Hunters will be hunted and killed by its sneak attack. Once bitten, no armor can defend!
Du Dian remembered that according to the map of the Huasheng Consortium, the place he went to last time had already stepped into the second area, but what he encountered were scythe walking corpses and monsters with a hunting level below 20, and the number was also high. relatively rare. At the beginning, the senior hunters of the Huasheng Consortium died in it, either because they were ambushed by monsters when they entered the third area, or they were killed in the second area when they returned. Now ten years have passed, and in the first area marked on the map, the monsters They were long gone, either hunted by each other or migrated.
In any case, the safety factor in the first and second regions is many times higher than it was ten years ago.
This is good news for others, but for Du Dian, it is a great regret.
"Follow me." Du Dian led the way to the lake four miles away, carefully sensing the surrounding movements along the way, and let Kaqi open the way ahead. His "Dragon Steel Man" magic mark is one of the few who can bear it. The magic claw crocodile has a super life-saving ability to sneak attack but not lethal.
Along the way, he didn't smell the smell of monsters lurking nearby. After walking for about three miles, Du Dian looked around, but still couldn't see the shadow of the lake in front of him. He felt strange. Could it be that the map of the Huasheng Consortium lied to him? But the year of the map is not like the new one.
He thought for a moment, let the black scar stop in place, ordered Guinness and Lao Jin to stand by, called Kaqi to follow him, threw the powder box on the ground, and moved forward lightly, brushing the waist-deep grass on both sides along the way. Open, every time the grass is pushed aside, Du Dian feels like a monster is lurking inside, which makes his muscles tense all the time. After all, the sense of smell is not a 100% detector.
Soon, a large area of short grass appeared in front of the grass, which was a sunken basin, but the curvature of the depression was not deep, and it was covered with aquatic weeds, and there was a little water at the bottom of the basin.
Du Dian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he lightly tapped the ground with his toes. Suddenly, he felt that the soil in the basin was a little soft. He stepped back a few steps, wondering in his heart, could this be the lake from ten years ago? In the past ten years, the lake has become a lake
Kaqi stood on the edge and looked carefully, suddenly his face changed slightly, he stepped back a few steps, and said to Du Dian: "Back off!"
Du Dian was startled, and hurriedly backed away, but saw that there was no movement in the basin in front of him, so he couldn't help asking: "What?"
Kaqi looked solemnly, pointed to a place more than ten meters away, and said, "Look under that dead branch, is there an eyeball?"
Du Dian was stunned, and looked in the direction of his finger, and suddenly saw a rotten dead branch falling in the water plants. Under the sunken place of the dead branch, the light could not shine, it was pitch black, but it could not Affecting his vision, there is indeed an emerald-like mottled ball, like moss growing on the ground.
Du Dian's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "I'll try." He bent down and picked up a piece of mud on the ground, kneaded it into a ball, and threw it towards that place.
Long-term archer training has made his throwing accuracy higher. The mud ball hit the dead branch hard, and with a bang, a little water splashed underneath. At the same time, the whole ground suddenly shook, Turning 180 degrees, slowly entering the other side of the basin.
Du Dian took a light breath. He didn't expect that the lake was dry, and there were still monsters lurking in it, and the smell from his body was extremely light, which was completely covered by the rotten smell of various aquatic plants in the basin.
"Sure enough..." Kaqi saw the figure twisting away, with a hint of relief in his eyes, and said to Du Dian: "This thing is a bit difficult to kill, but once these things that like to lurk and hunt are seen through their disguise, they usually hide. Go head on, unless you're too hungry."
When Du Dian heard this, his eyes flickered, and he said: "So, they are not particularly hungry. There are other resident monsters around here that become their prey, and they are likely to live in groups!"
Kaqi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Du Dian to deduce so many things from this point. He took a deep look at the boy, nodded and said: "There is a possibility, but the monster that can be killed by this thing does not mean Weak, it is likely to be killed by a sneak attack, and some monster hunters can even kill monsters that are seven or eight levels higher than their own hunting level."
Du Dian nodded. The attacking weapons of monsters are far more advanced than the evolution of fur and scale armor. Like the hunting armor they wear, they mainly isolate radiation and provide a small amount of protection. In front of these monsters with a hunting level of around 20, It will be easily torn apart by their sharp claws, even steel plates will be penetrated, and any armor will be pale. Only by avoiding attacks and killing the opponent first can life be saved.
"Let's hunt here." Du Dian glanced around and made up his mind.
Kaqi was startled.
Du Dian turned around and went back quickly, found Guinness and the others who were on standby, and said: "There is a water source nearby, and there are monsters infested. Let's set up traps and hunt around here. Guinness, your speed should be faster than ours. Some, when the trap is set up, you will be responsible for luring the monsters."
Guinness frowned slightly and looked at Du Dian.
Du Dian also looked at her, and the girl slowly retracted her gaze without saying anything.
"How to set up a trap?" Lao Jin asked doubtfully.
Du Dian opened the gunpowder box and said, "Go dig a hole first and bury these."
Several people were startled. The reticent Guinness frowned and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is powder made from sulfur powder and other ores. It can't be poisoned unless it is eaten by monsters. Why bury it in the soil?"
Du Dian said: "This is a weapon, not poison, you just have to do it."
Several people looked at each other, these powders are weapons? Are the weapons still buried in the ground
But seeing Du Dian's resolute face, the few people didn't say anything more, and started digging at a place chosen by Kaqi and Du Dian after discussing together, and buried boxes of explosives in it.
Soon, it was dark and the traps were set up.
Du Dian took Kaqi and others back to a longer distance, built a small shed with a few concrete stones in the ruins, ate dry food, and preserved his strength.
Lao Jin looked at the darker and darker night around him, a little creepy, and said to Du Dian: "Will there be monsters crawling over at night?"
Du Dian threw a bottle of walking corpse powder to him, and said: "No, as long as you don't light the fire, most of these monsters are cold-blooded animals, which are more sensitive and excited to heat."
