After Cheating, I Became the Strongest Beast Master Chapter 56

Chapter 56 Heavy Fog

Chen Xing knocked on the hard shell of the dancing sickle crab, and it felt like the tapping of steel.

He was ready to test his hard sickle again, "Taotie, come here."

Taotie ran over without knowing why and sniffed the Dancing Scythe Ghost Back Crab with his nose.

This dancing sickle ghost-back crab smelled of fresh water, and Taotie couldn't help but open his mouth and take a bite.

 “Can't bite.”

Chen Xing stopped Taotie. This was Brother Zhao's trophy. What if it's bitten and becomes worthless.

“It's okay, just bite it as you like, the shell isn't worth anything.” Zhao Liang said casually, “Besides, it's not that easy to bite.”

Taotie glanced at Zhao Liang, then turned back and took a bite on the back of the ghost-backed crab. His eyes paused for a moment and then released, leaving only a row of white marks the size of rice grains on the back of the ghost-backed crab.

“Its shell is the hardest part except for its pincers, and its defensive power is among the best at the same level. You little crocodile needs to develop a little more before you can bite its back shell.”

After taking the dancing sickle ghost back crab to a nearby safe zone for sale, everyone set off to the last safe zone while learning wild survival skills from Zhao Liang.

The closer you get to the rear, the deeper the water becomes, as if the entire city is like a tilted chessboard. The deeper you go, the deeper the water becomes.

Taotie's movements also changed from the arrogance when he first entered the water to the caution now.

 Because it found some monsters in the water that didn't look easy to deal with.

 It's a bit like the big crab just now.

As soon as Taotie had an idea, he quietly leaned over and looked through the gap at the big crab quietly entrenched in the house.

This Dancing Sickle Ghost-back Crab is taking a nap, its mouthparts are squirming slightly, as if it has had a sweet dream, and a little white foam overflows from the edge of its mouthparts.

 “It seems bigger than the one just now?”

Taotie's little head is spinning, as if the master and the others are going to hunt this thing.

 Immediately he flicked his tail, and a brick from the bottom of the water hit the dancing sickle ghost crab on the forehead like a baseball.

 “GuluGuluLulu~”

 The Dancing Scythe Ghost Back Crab was awakened, and its two large pincers danced twice in a panic. The eye stalks protruded from the sunken eye frames, turned in a circle, and finally locked on the culprit.

 The body moved, its side pointed at Taotie, and it crawled on its eight legs at high speed.

Hurrah~

The gray stone wall was directly knocked down, and the hard and burly body passed through the mud at the bottom of the river bed. A sickle and a claw were raised high in his hands, as if to declare Taotie's death sentence.

Taotie immediately swam upward after pulling out its tail, wagging its tail very quickly.

 But the dancing sickle ghost-backed crab behind is faster, with eight legs and one kick.

He gathered enough strength to eject and start to launch. He hit Taotie first with a flexible and backward movement that was not suitable for his body shape. The next second, Taotie was pushed out of the water and fell to the shore with a crash.

 The water surface broke open, and the dancing sickle ghost-backed crab came out menacingly.

As soon as he came out of the water, a fiery red circle fell above his head!

 'Skill: Circle of Fire. '

 A fire ring the size of a fist hit the back of the dancing sickle ghost crab.

　　It was hit so hard that it flipped over, and a dark circular wound was deeply imprinted on its back.

The severe pain made the dancing sickle crab wake up instantly, and it was immediately ready to escape back into the water, but the Burning Hunter Bee was extremely fast, and its slender bee claws landed on the back of the dancing sickle ghost crab and hooked its body. The movement of its retreat slowed down, and in the next second, another fist-sized fire ring hit the dancing sickle ghost back crab's back.

　　Bang! !

The vest of Wu Sigui Crab exploded with flowers, as if a firecracker had been stuffed into it and exploded.

 There was smoke coming out of the mouth

The dancing sickle ghost-backed crab, which was so vigorous just now, immediately withered.

The Burning Hunter Bee dragged it several times and managed to drag the Dancing Scythe Ghost Back Crab ashore, which seemed to be a bit difficult.

Chen Xing thought thoughtfully after watching it. The melee combat ability of the Burning Hunter Bee does not seem to be very strong. It is more like a highly mobile mage.

Looking at the tail of the Burning Hunter Bee, it had lost its tail needle after releasing the fatal sniper attack, and it has not yet grown back.

Some bees will die after losing their tail needles because the venom glands at the other end of their needles are connected to their internal organs.

 Once the needle is clamped and then pulled out with force, the intestines and internal organs may be accidentally taken out. That's why it is said that people will die after stinging them.

 But the Burnt Hunting Bee obviously does not have this trouble. However, after the needles at its tail are lost, new needles will not grow in a short period of time.

 “Come on, take this new monster away.”

Chen Xing declined, "Me? This is your trophy, Brother Zhao."

Although Taotie attracted it, this level 33 dancing sickle ghost-backed crab was killed by Brother Zhao's beast master.

We have just tested the strength of its back shell. If Brother Zhao doesn't take action, Taotie alone cannot defeat this monster.

"I bought the ticket. Anyone who buys the ticket can only hunt one monster. Only those who enter the Zecheng Secret Realm for free every year can hunt three." Zhao Liang waved his hand.

Chen Xing was stunned. There was such a statement. He thought that the tickets he bought later would allow him to hunt three monsters at a time.

 It was not until around 7 pm that Chen Xing and the others finally reached the last safe zone.

It's a pity that I never had the chance to see the Blue King Snail. Zhao Liang said that the Blue King Snail is not as active and eager to take the initiative as the Dancing Scythe Ghost Back Crab. It is more like a hunter who likes to stay in place and hunt quietly.

At this time, it was getting late. Although the sun and moon were visible in the secret realm, they were also divided into day and night, and they were synchronized with the outside world.

 The last safe zone is located in the deepest part of Zecheng.

This safe area is somewhat similar to a birdcage structure. There are circles of steel bars connected in series on the outside. Several five-story cement houses are built inside. Outside the birdcage are low bungalows that are common in secret realms. The houses outside are scattered in height. , like slums, the tall ones have three or four floors, and the short ones only have a corner of the eaves emerging from the water.

 Cross the covered bridge and enter the safe area, where there are two staff members wearing green vests on duty.

The staff member in the green vest on the left glanced at Zhao Liang, then at the three students behind him, lowered his head and recorded something on the paper with a pen.

 “There are four people in total, right?”

"right."

"Okay." The staff tore off the receipt and handed it to Zhao Liang, "This is where you will stay tonight, in area D on the third floor."

 “We are going to sell this.” Zhao Liang pointed to the dancing sickle ghost-backed crab he brought over and said.

The staff briefly inspected the seriously injured Ghost Back Crab, "Energy level 33, weight 420 kilograms, market price of 160,000 yuan, are you sure to sell it?"

 “Sell it.”

 “Okay.” The staff issued another invoice.

 Zhao Liang took it and handed the invoice to Chen Xing.

“This safe area is deep. If you want to sell it, the staff will sell it on your behalf. The prices are all the same. Just use this invoice to exchange for money after you go out.”

 The staff led the way and took the four people upstairs to the third floor.

Chen Xing discovered that there were many antique decorations hung on the stairs and walls along the way. These decorations had distinctive features and a strong unique style, unlike those in ancient Bactria.

Seeing that Chen Xing and the others were curious about the surrounding decorations, the staff introduced: "These are all ancient relics excavated from the ruins. Zecheng was once a city in a foreign land. After this area was smashed, it became a secret realm and fell into our world. , this city itself is wealth. Hundreds of years ago, Jincheng locals developed the secret realm of Zecheng and unearthed some knowledge of exotic civilizations. Zecheng has long been hollowed out over the years, and now there are hangings on the walls. They are all daily utensils used by local people in Zecheng."

“Where are the people who used to live here?” Chen Xing was curious. In such a big city, there must have been a lot of people living there, at least tens of thousands.

The staff paused for a moment, and Zhao Liang's voice came from the back, "I know this better. Some of them have gradually integrated into Daxia over the past few hundred years, and some are unwilling to integrate and insist that foreign lands are their roots. We Let them go back too.”

“Daxia's treatment of foreigners in the secret realm is relatively gentle. As long as they don't cause trouble or make trouble, those who behave well are released to the foreign lands. Therefore, our relationship with many foreign forces in Daxia is relatively good.”

Chen Xing was surprised. He thought it was the world on their side and the world on the other side that were fighting to the death. The two worlds were fighting fiercely.

"The so-called politics is to make many friends and few enemies. The foreign lands are not monolithic, they are also composed of many forces. And the foreign lands are much larger than our world. If it really arouses public anger, it will not be good for us. Good thing."

Seeing the surprised looks in the three people's eyes, Zhao Liang said angrily: "What kind of looks are these? In your eyes, I look like a big, illiterate old man?"

 The staff took the four people to the area and returned.

There was almost no one on this floor. Later, a woman in green clothes came down from upstairs and sat alone in the corner, far away from the four people.

 At night, there is a cold wind.

 The outdoor temperature dropped rapidly, and heavy fog began to appear at some point. Outside the safety zone, the water level is quietly rising.

 In the turbid and cold river water, the bright red color breaks through the huge waves and slowly rises from the water.
