Mechanical Flesh Chapter 41

　　 In the center of the island, stands a deformed black twisted wood that is hugged by four people. It is no more than five meters high. The twisted trunk is like a crazy patient, twisted, deformed, and chaotic!

　　 The branches have no leaves, only bare trunks, like a twisted sword stabs into the void.

　　 The edge of the black twisted wood has a large open space, no black thorns spreading, no dark green vines entangled, as if it is surrounded by a restricted area that cannot be approached.

　　 Jia Tao wielded the scarlet energy blade and chopped the black thorns blocking the way. The direction he moved forward was that strange black twisted wood.

　　 The five people moved forward for a certain distance, and they were not attacked by insects and beasts along the way, rustling sounds came from all directions, and Nie Xiu, who was walking behind, suddenly looked back and his face suddenly became difficult to look at.

　　 "Stop!" Nie Xiu let out a low voice.

　　 The startled Snake Ghost and Sun Ye stopped at the same time. They followed Nie Xiu's gaze, their expressions also becoming ugly.

　　 Sun Ye cautiously took out the revolver around his waist, while the snake ghost closed his eyes and spit out a forked tongue, seeming to sense something in the air.

　　 Qi Yuan stopped, and after looking back, he realized that the passage that Jia Tao had just opened was quietly closed at some point, and there was no way of coming.

　　 The black thorns that have been cut off fall to the ground like living things and take root, and then connect with the surrounding black thorns at a speed visible to the naked eye, completing the blockade of the passage.

　　 The duration of this process will not exceed five minutes. Qi Yuan personally saw a piece of black thorns pierce into the soil, and then spread towards the surrounding thorns, and then entangled together like water and milk.

"How to do?"

　　 Sudden changes made Sun Ye no longer cover up, his eyes became fierce.

　　 "Ghost snake!" Nie Xiu whispered.

　　Ghost Snake slowly opened his eyes and shook slightly, his eyes a little serious.

　　 "There is no smell of other insects and beasts around, maybe these thorns are interfering with my perception."

　　 After finishing speaking, the ghost snake drew a dagger and slashed it at the black thorns next to it.

brush!

The black thorns suddenly sank downwards, and the half-cut thorns fell off, but the other thorns fiercely bounced upwards, and the dark red spikes ran across the snake ghost's arm, leaving a tiny white mark. .

　　 Ghost Snake's pupils shrank slightly, and when he reached the section of road that had just been closed, he waved his hand and slashed it down.

　　 is also a knife and two paragraphs, this time the sinking of the black thorns is obviously much smaller.

"The original black thorns are very hard, and the blocking force is equivalent to two layers of black-toothed fur. The newly grown black thorns have weaker defenses, but the hardness is comparable to the fur of a black-toothed rat." The ghost snake said to himself. Judgment.

　　 Nie Xiu frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a low voice:

"The insect beast detector shows that there is only one insect beast in the entire central island, and it is hidden in the twisted wood in the center. The things we want are also in it. Although these black thorns are weird, they will not actively attack. The existence of Jia Tao, even if they will take root, will not be able to hold us back. Since we have all come here, I suggest to go deeper and get things before leaving!"

　　 "The blind man's asking price is too dark, and that VCP-II biopharmaceutical cost us a full 100,000! A death harvest plus a motorcycle, even if we add the payment for the task of clearing the swamp, we can't get back!"

　　 "If we can get the thing inside, not only will we be able to pay back, we may also get a few Tier 2 potions in the shelter!"

　　 Second-order potion!

The breathing of Sun Ye and Snake Ghost suddenly started. Although there are laboratories where the steel tanks can make potions, most of them are first-tier potions. The output of second-tier potions is very low, and the steel tank laboratory The quality of the potion produced is too low.

　　 The second-tier potion of the steel tank has a 50% probability of awakening ability, a 30% probability of failure, and a 20% probability of causing genetic collapse.

　　 Even if the second-order ability is successfully awakened, it will severely damage the stability of the gene. The next time the ability potion is used, the probability of causing the gene to collapse will rise linearly.

　　 is far inferior to the biological and mechanical tests produced by the Black Steel Shelter.

　　 The success rate of awakening is over 90%, and it will not destroy the genetic stability, and can accurately awaken the designated extraordinary ability!

　　 The huge difference in quality between the two is an intuitive embodiment of the price, which is nearly ten times the price difference.

　　 But the amount of potions smuggled from the shelter is very limited. Most wilderness hunters have no channels, and even if they have money, they cannot buy suitable potions.

　　 Although the three of them climbed the line of the blind, the other party's asking price was also very high. With the strength of the three, even if the hunter's guild frequently performed missions, it was difficult to bear the high price of buying Tier 2 potions.

　　 Therefore, the three of them have been hunters for nearly ten years, and they have reached the threshold of a C-level hunter after nine deaths. Only Nie Xiu has mastered two second-tier abilities, and both of them only control one second-tier ability.

　　 The second-order ability potion is like the temptation of the devil. Even Sun Ye, who was in the mood to retreat, put aside his retreat and nodded and agreed to Nie Xiu's suggestion.

　　 Snake Ghost nodded, and the cold vertical pupil swept over Jia Tao and Qi Yuan who were also whispering in front of them.

　　 "Continue to let them open the way and wait until they go back. Never let them leave alive, otherwise the news will leak. With our strength, we won't be able to keep that thing."

　　 "Don't worry, before I kill them, I will let them play a good role and help us clean up these **** thorns."

　　 "Go on, the thorns behind will soon catch up." Nie Xiu said.

　　 "Snake ghost, you should pay attention to guard against Jia Tao, I suspect that he deliberately approached us, there are other purposes!"

　　 The corners of Snake Ghost's mouth split open, revealing a cruel smile.

　　 "Don't worry, the two of them can't turn the waves. Jia Tao's semi-mechanical weapon has some power, but his speed is too slow to use the power of this mechanical arm."

　　 "As for that Qi Yuan, a little guy who thinks he is smart is nothing. Without Death Harvest, he can't even break my snake scale defense. Even if they join hands, I can easily kill them!"

Nie Xiu nodded slightly. The second-order ability of the snake ghost is speed enhancement, and the defense enhancement is only the first-order. However, when he was an ordinary person, because he swallowed the flesh and blood of a second-order snake-like beast, he had a genetic mutation. Some snakes have the characteristics and abilities of a layer of fine scales growing on the surface, and their defense power is not much weaker than the first-tier defense enhancement. The snake scales, combined with the first-tier defense enhancement, are almost comparable to the second-tier defense.

　　The first-order transcendents basically cannot break his defense. Although Jia Tao can, but the speed is too slow, he will not be the opponent of Ghost Snake.

　　 "Be alert, if they have any changes, kill them directly, don't hesitate." Nie Xiu whispered a few words at last

　　Guishe nodded, and quickly narrowed Qi Yuan's distance. At his speed, within three meters, Qi Yuan didn't even have a chance to pull out his gun.

　　The approach of the ghost snake interrupted Qi Yuan and Jia Tao's whispering. Qi Yuan still maintained a gentle smile, but Jia Tao's eyes were a little more puzzled and doubtful.

"Keep going!"

　　 Under the urging of the ghost snake, Jia Tao continued to swing his energy weapons and opened the way in the direction where the twisted wood was. Qi Yuan followed him slowly, not like being in danger at all, but as if he was out for a walk.

　　 Although the black thorns are hard, they don't have much resistance to the weapons of Jia Tao's energy condensing. Soon a group of five people reached the edge of the central twisted wood.

　　 At the moment of passing through the jungle of thorns, an icy chill spreads from the soles of the feet, as if it was not the ground that was trampled on by the feet, but a piece of ice for a thousand years.

　　 Nie Xiu and others also noticed the strangeness of the ground. The ghost snake stabbed the ground with a dagger, only to pierce an inch with all its strength.

　　 "The ground has been completely frozen!" Ghost Snake said in a deep voice.

　　 Nie Xiu heard the words, and was not surprised at all, his eyes became more and more scorching.

　　 "I didn't guess wrong, it's here! Things are inside!" Nie Xiu couldn't help muttering to himself.

　　 Qi Yuan glanced at the three of them and found that they didn't seem to care what they shouldn't hear. Only Gui Snake still stared at him and Jia Tao with cold eyes, as if they might be in trouble at any time.

　　 Nie Xiu stretched out his finger and tapped on the trunk of the twisted wood, making a hollow sound, and intermittent echoes could still be heard vaguely.

　　 The trunk of this twisted wood hugged by several people turned out to be hollow!

　　 "Cut a gap for entry here!" Nie Xiu suddenly said to Jia Tao in a commanding tone.

　　 Jia Tao lowered his head, pursing his lips, his body trembling slightly, as if he had to move, but when he raised his head, he just saw Qi Yuan's glance over him, and the whispering words that the two had just spoken suddenly appeared in his mind.

　　 Sun Ye's muzzle has quietly moved over, and the ghost snake is also holding a dagger, standing behind Jia Tao, as long as he changes a little, the next fatal blow by the three of them will inevitably be.

　　 Jia Tao hesitated for a while, and finally gave up the original plan, waved his mechanical arm and started to cut the black twisted wood in front of him.

　　 Compared with the black thorns, the black twisted wood held by several people is harder, even Jia Tao's energy weapons are difficult to cut at will.

　　 tried several times in a row, only to leave a few deep burn marks on the hard trunk of the twisted wood.

　　 "The hardness of twisted wood is stronger than Tier 3 defense, and my energy weapon can't be cut." Jia Tao said with a gloomy face.

　　 The ghost snake swung a dagger and slashed **** the twisting wood, but only a shallow scratch was left.

　　 "The trunk is also frozen."

　　 Qi Yuan looked up at the top of the twisted wood. When cutting and beating the twisted wood just now, the echo came from above.

　　 "The trunk is hollow, and there is a gap on it. It should be possible to enter from above." Qi Yuan said suddenly.

　　 Nie Xiu glanced at Qi Yuan in surprise, and suddenly smiled.

　　 "Aren't you scared?"

　　 "Why should I be afraid." Qi Yuan asked rhetorically, pretending to be ignorant.

　　 "You are all Tier 2 capable people, even if there are insects in it, they are not our opponents!"

"Hey—" Nie Xiu chuckled, "Since you said that you can get in from above, I don't have to trouble you. You can climb in first. As long as you help us get things out of it, I will give you five thousand when we go back. Piece."

　　 "What's in it?" Qi Yuan asked.

　　 "You will know when you go in."

　　 Nie Xiu didn't answer directly, and Qi Yuan didn't ask further, just glanced at the tall twisted wood and said:

　　 "The trunk of the twisted wood is hard and smooth. I can't climb it. I must take a ladder."

　　 Nie Xiu judged the height of the twisted wood.

　　 "Don't have to be so troublesome."

　　 "Jia Tao, throw him up!"

　　 Jia Tao and Qi Yuan looked at each other, and slowly stretched out their sturdy mechanical arm.

　　 Qi Yuan shrugged and stood in the palm of his mechanical hand.

　　 "Stand firm!"

　　 Jia Tao gave a low voice, and then threw it upward.

　　 A huge force came from the soles of his feet, and Qi Yuan almost flew up several meters against the twisted tree trunk.

　　 Jia Tao's strength was just right, Qi Yuan stopped ascending as soon as he reached the top of the twisted wood.

　　 Qi Yuan grabbed the trunk at the top of the twisted wood with his hands, turned over and stood up.

　　 A dark tree hole came into view. I couldn't see what was inside at all. I only felt a chill of chill gushing out of the tree hole, as if it could freeze a person's body.

　　 Qi Yuan glanced back, only to see the smiling non-smiling expression on Nie Xiu's face, as well as the dark muzzle in Sun Ye's hand.

　　 "I'll go in and take a look." Qi Yuan smiled disapprovingly, then jumped and jumped directly into the dark tree hole.

　　In the tree hole, there may be insects and beasts, but Qi Yuan is not very worried. Even if Nie Xiu and the others dare to get involved in the second-tier places, even if it is dangerous, the level of danger will not be too high.

　　 The most important thing is that he saw the light beam of the sign-in point. In the dark tree hole, the light of the sign-in point was like the stars of the dark night, clearly visible.

　　Wild check-in point!

　　 Signed in successfully!

　　 "Is this kid really stupid or fake?"

　　 Looking at Qi Yuan, who jumped down without a word, Sun Ye was also a little confused for a while.

　　 "The ice python inside is a second-order, so he jumped in, he was not afraid to fall directly into the mouth of the ice python!"

　　 Ice Python!

　　 Jia Tao's body trembled slightly, and finally realized the true purpose of Nie Xiu and others.

　　Most insects and beasts rely on powerful flesh to prey, but the ice python is different. It is a rare insect beast whose body can be semi-elemental.

　　 Body elementalization was originally an ability possessed by insects and beasts above the fourth-order elite level. However, the ice python can rely on some special frost energy to complete the semi-elementalization of the body at the second-order.

　　 For the special insects like ice pythons, the Futu Chamber of Commerce and the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, which are stationed at the gathering place of steel chariots, have offered high prices, even including high-quality Tier 2 potions that are difficult to reach by wilderness hunters!

　　 More importantly, where ice pythons are infested, there must be alien ores with powerful frost power.

　　 Someone once exchanged this ore from the black steel shelter to a real mechanical weapon.

　　 This is where the ice pythons really make people crazy~www.mtlnovel.com~ Just as Jia Tao hesitated and was about to press a button hidden in the robotic arm, a dull gunshot suddenly came from the ground.

　　 "Qi Yuan is not dead yet, is it fighting an ice python?"

　　 Jia Tao stopped in surprise, some couldn't believe his ears, a first-order capable person, facing a second-order peak ice python, he still had the ability to resist!

　　After the gunshot sounded once, Jia Tao never waited for the second gunshot sound. His heart gradually fell to the bottom.

　　 "I would believe in a Tier 1 wilderness hunter, I'm crazy!"

　　 Jia Tao's face suddenly became determined. As long as he presses that button, the plasma bomb hidden in the robotic arm will destroy everything around him.

　　 I am not afraid of death, as long as I can drag Nie Xiu to hell, even if I die!

　　 Just when Jia Tao was about to start the plasma bomb and burn with Nie Xiu, another dull gunshot came from the ground.

　　 Qi Yuan is not dead yet?

　　 This time not only Jia Tao, but even Nie Xiu's eyes are a little surprised!

　　 A Tier 1 capable person fell into the ice python cave. Not only was he not killed directly, but he found the opportunity to shoot, but he persisted for so long!

　　 But the target of this shot should not be the ice python, but myself!

　　 Snake Ghost sneered.

"I'm going to die, why bother to suffer so much? The longer you persist in front of the ice python, the more pain you have to bear. The feeling of watching your own blood freeze a little bit is more terrifying than death! "

　　 No one noticed that Jia Tao's face became weird. Only he knew that Qi Yuan was not dead. This shot was a signal for communication between them.
