Chapter 271: The Stalking Monster
"Really! Yay! That's great!" Hearing that there was only one kilometer left, Zhang Moxin jumped happily inside the carriage.
Boom!
Following this jump by Zhang Moxin, a depression suddenly appeared beneath their vehicle, scaring everyone into slamming on the brakes, terrified that something might have happened.
"What's going on!" Chen Ligang was the first to get out of his own vehicle, tiptoeing toward the sisters' vehicle.
Zhang Moxin lowered her head and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was just too excited, and then... and then..."
Seeing her younger sister causing trouble again, Zhang Mofeng shook her head and sighed helplessly, then quickly got out of the vehicle to apologize: "My sister is unruly, I've caused everyone trouble."
Chen Ligang said with a chuckle: "It's fine, as long as you all are okay, just remember to be a little more careful." After that, he returned to his own tricycle.
The group continued to advance downward and soon arrived before a massive iron gate. The iron gate had many marks from being attacked, and among these marks, one could see the Array left behind by the monsters' attack back then.
After Zhao Yuxin and Huang Jing made a simple comparison, they discovered that this Array was a bit more complex than the one on the city wall, but it was soon cracked and replicated by the two of them.
Whoosh~
A dazzling white Magic Array emerged on the iron gate. The moment the two of them cleared the way, Liu Yuchang was the first to drive into the interior of the Magic Array.
After everyone passed through the Array and reached the other side of the gate, they discovered that this was a huge hall. The headlights shone on both sides and they could not see the end; the ground was covered with mechanical wreckage and the corpses of Plant Monsters.
Name: Rotting Pod
Type: Plant-type, Mechanical-type
Introduction: This plant had already felt the suffering of the flesh, so it chose to embrace machinery. From then on, it not only possessed a hard body, but also gave its offspring stronger power, though its appearance is a bit strange.
Name: Rotting Bean Worm
Type: Plant-type, Mechanical-type
Introduction: Since its mother embraced machinery, it, as an offspring, also broke free from the oppression of the Plant Archmage Jiemodala. Perhaps no one would want to have close contact with it? Although it itself is exceptionally fond of contact.
Looking at so many monsters lying quietly before them, everyone broke into a cold sweat, because this meant that a huge conflict must have occurred here.
Liu Yuchang came to examine all these monsters and immediately judged: "The wounds on these monsters are still very fresh, and the corpses are still in a state of rigor mortis. This shows that a fierce battle happened here, and it was less than three hours ago."
Liu Yuchang carefully observed the entire battlefield again and found that the entire battlefield did not have many signs of fighting, but the directions these monsters were facing were highly uniform, and the wounds were mostly on their backs, which made him lower his head and start thinking.
Zhao Yuxin first released a large number of Combat Plants to stand guard, then moved a portion of the monster corpses. This not only provided her with materials, but could also be used to deduce exactly what level of strength killed them.
"How is it? Can the reason for these monsters' deaths be found out?" Zhang Mofeng's face revealed a trace of unease.
"The cause of death has been found." Liu Yuchang stood up and said, "These monsters were all killed while fleeing, and one thing is certain: the opponent's numbers are not high. If I haven't judged incorrectly, the number of those who killed them does not exceed five."
"So precise! How do you know that?" Zhang Moxin widened her eyes, somewhat unable to believe it.
Everyone: "Shh~"
Zhang Moxin subconsciously covered her mouth, then she and the others looked around. Only after ensuring that nothing was approaching or staring from nearby did they breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Yuchang pointed at the dried bloodstains on the ground, "In these bloodstains, one can see several huge marks. Judging by the marks, it should be some kind of tentacle monster."
Huang Jing, Li Yue: "Then what is the strength of the monster that killed them?"
Liu Yuchang picked up the corpse of a Rotting Bean Worm; the wires and flesh inside mixed together and fell onto his feet, but he didn't care at all and tapped on its metallic-textured shell, saying: "Why don't you try it yourselves?"
At this time, Zhao Yuxin let the Durian Warrior continuously attack the remains she had collected, and also roughly figured out what level the guy that hunted these monsters would be.
Immediately, she had the Durian Warrior call Zhu Zhiquan in, and with a worried face, she said to him: "Ajiu, I feel that the power attribute of the one that hunted them is at least above 24 points."
Hearing that the opponent's strength was so formidable, an excited expression appeared on Zhu Zhiquan's face, and he immediately opened his panel to check his attributes.
Name: Zhu Zhiquan
Transcendental Profession: Fierce Battle Ghost, Hell Enforcer
Constitution: 16 (58%)
Strength: 17 (0%)
Speed: 17 (23%)
Magic Power: 14
Talents: Undead Pact, Nightmare Demon Eye, Nether Hunter
Skills: Energy-Storing Slash, Phoenix Cloud Fire, Ghost Fire Attachment, Hell Lament, Nether Cold Ice Spike
Health: 100%
Introduction: Omitted
Hmm, it looks like his strength has improved significantly, especially the change in speed, which made Zhu Zhiquan inadvertently reveal a confident smile.
Slap!
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" Zhao Yuxin said poutingly, "Perhaps your strength has improved a lot these past few days, but you cannot be careless! Go and eat the Gale Grass and the Tiger-Subduing Precious Fern!"
Zhu Zhiquan looked at her unquestionable expression and immediately obediently walked toward the Plantation, arrived at the planting area for the two herbs, and ate them immediately.
"Ding~ You consumed Gale Grass, Speed +8."
"Ding~ You consumed Tiger-Subduing Precious Fern, Strength +8."
After consuming the two herbs in succession, he carefully felt the changes in his body and couldn't help but get excited.
At this time, Zhao Yuxin took her notebook and pen and walked in, asking curiously: "How is it? What did it feel like when you ate it? How was the taste?"
Zhu Zhiquan smacked his lips, feeling... nothing at all, and he didn't taste the flavor either. Oh no! How is he supposed to explain this to Azhao!
Zhao Yuxin saw the expression Zhu Zhiquan inadvertently revealed, her face turned dark, and her voice became gloomy: "Did you save the seeds?"
"Seeds? Ah!" Zhu Zhiquan felt as if he had been struck by lightning inside; he had been so focused on eating the grass that he had forgotten about this.
But Zhao Yuxin's face was surprisingly calm; she just squatted down and silently began drawing a Plant Modification Array, but the pen in her hand snapped at this moment, and one could see veins bulging.
Just when Zhu Zhiquan thought he was going to be scolded, Zhao Yuxin instructed at this moment: "Ajiu, bring me the things I read out next; I will recreate that herb."
And at this time, Chen Ligang came to their vehicle and shouted: "The two of you, we are leaving, hurry up and get ready."
"Hmm?" Xuebao poked its head out and blinked its big eyes; its cute and naive appearance almost made Chen Ligang unable to resist reaching out to pet it twice.
Chen Ligang: "Ahem~ That, do you want to drive for your master?"
Master? These two words were somewhat unfamiliar to Xuebao, but as soon as it heard the words "drive," Xuebao scrambled into the driver's seat, waiting for the others to start the vehicle.
Chen Ligang rearranged his expression, took a stride back to his vehicle, and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go, let's show this group of monsters what we're made of!"
Liu Yuchang rolled his eyes at Chen Ligang, "Hey, hey, my old Chen, don't you forget that we are only here to hunt for treasure." But he still stepped on the accelerator.
The other three vehicles followed behind, and this convoy drove slowly along the wall.
Yet not long after they left, four tall monsters arrived at this spot; the tallest one among them sniffed, then immediately looked in the direction where Zhu Zhiquan and the others had departed.
"Roar—"
Following its roar, the other three monsters responded one after another, and then, under its lead, they followed after them.
