The strongest talent

For ten days after entering the danger zone, Yuan Qing searched a radius of seventy or eighty miles, but still found no trace of the silver-armored snail.

In these ten days, Yuan Qing practiced on his left leg on the first day. He only practiced seven times. Each time, the bones were broken and the flesh and blood exploded. On the second day, the degree of bone fragmentation had been reduced a lot, leaving only flesh, blood, and blood vessels. , the meridians are still fried to pieces.

On the third day, Yuan Qing has become more proficient in controlling spiritual energy. His bones will also be injured, but the pain has been reduced. Just to save medicine, he still controls it to practice seven times a day, and can withstand the pain caused by the shattering of flesh and blood. It is no longer difficult to get up, and my face looks much better than before.

On the tenth day, I was able to keep less than half of my flesh and blood intact. My left foot was basically intact and my bones were intact. It was much stronger than at the beginning.

"It is the black hole talent after all. The 'growth' effect gradually appears. It will take about half a month at most to complete the training on the left leg." Near noon, Yuan Qing finished his seventh training, cleaned his body in a river, and then He lit a bonfire, heated up a pack of combat rations, and ate it happily.

Now that we have entered the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it has begun to snow in some parts of the north. The activity of mutant beasts in the danger zone is gradually decreasing. Most of them, such as the "silver-armored snails", have entered a state of hibernation. If it is later, it will be more difficult to find them, so we must hurry up.

"Where is the silver-armored snail hiding?" Yuan Qing finished his ration, looked at the geographical coordinates displayed on the smart watch, shook his head and smiled.

Regardless of the fact that he has left Qingyuan Base for more than ten days, in fact, he has only traveled less than 200 miles and has not yet entered the core of the danger zone. He spent most of his time practicing his left leg and killing some low-level mutant beasts. I'm a bit unlucky. I've only harvested a dozen beast crystals so far, most of which are first-level and can't be bought for much money.

The good thing is that many mutated beast materials have been processed into recovery potions by the brain, which has partially replenished the potion reserve in the laboratory. There are now more than 460 bottles of potions left, and they continue to hunt and practice... I estimate, It should be fine for two or three months.

"Zhi Nao." Yuan Qing put down his wrist and communicated with Zhi Nao in his heart: "I remember, when the Hongdu Guards were chasing me, you could conduct biological detection, right? Silver-armored snails have the habit of hibernating. It’s very deep, please help me detect it, it’s such a waste of time to search blindly like this.”

Zhinao quickly replied: "Yuan Qing, you have to know that although you are the successor of Wuyuanxing civilization, the body of Wuyuanxing No. 1 aircraft crashed in the Arctic Ocean. The only thing that can be used now is the 'pharmaceutical laboratory', and many modules of the ship are missing. Each module has a different function. Like biological detection, it is just an additional function of the laboratory. The detection range is very limited and consumes a lot of energy. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"When I left Qingyuan Base, I prepared fifty sets of ion energy cores." Yuan Qing said with a smile: "Use some of it, don't feel bad, find the silver-armored snail first."

On Yuan Qing's arm, the six-pointed star pattern lit up slightly, and an invisible ripple spread out, covering a radius of one thousand meters. Zhinao's voice sounded again: "Yuan Qing, now you start running, run as you like, as long as you feel the silver-armored snail I will tell you right away - you have to pay attention to maintaining a kilometer detection, and the energy consumed per second is one thousandth."

"So many?!" Yuan Qing didn't dare to delay and ran away.

One thousandth of energy per second, the laboratory energy will be consumed in less than twenty minutes, and it takes ten sets of ion energy cores to replenish the laboratory energy. You know, based on market prices, each standard unit of ion energy core sells for 500,000 alliance coins. Once the energy in the laboratory is filled, the total price is 5 million.

In other words, maintaining the detection state in the laboratory consumes 5,000 alliance coins per second, which is equivalent to a bottle of normal third-level recovery potion. This is a real waste of money!

"This method should never be used unless it is absolutely necessary. No matter how much money you have, you can't afford it." Yuan Qing maintained a rapid state, running quickly in the dangerous area, constantly shuttling between dense forests and mountains - at full speed, running speed Nearly 40 meters per second, the figure almost turned into a gray light!

About ten minutes later, Zhinao's voice suddenly rang: "Eight hundred meters to the left, over there!"

Yuan Qing suddenly stopped and shouted hurriedly: "Stop detecting."

The light of the six-pointed star dimmed, and the detection ripples disappeared instantly. Yuan Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so scary. Just looking for the silver-armored snail costs 2.5 million alliance coins in ten minutes.

"Unless there is a crystal core in the fourth-level silver-armored snail, it can be sold for about 10 million alliance coins. If not, it will be a big loss." Yuan Qing grimaced and walked to the left.

Eight hundred meters away on the left stood a hill over two hundred meters high, which looked nothing out of the ordinary. However, Yuan Qing squinted his eyes and observed carefully. He could faintly see a very thin gap in the mountain, which was obscured by many surrounding trees and was difficult to find.

If it weren't for Intelligent Brain Search, normal people wouldn't have any doubts even if they saw this crack.

"Hibernating in the belly of the mountain, the snail's IQ is not low." Yuan Qing grinned, slowly walked to the front of the mountain wall, and looked through the cracks to see the silver-armored snail inside.

Its body is more than ten meters high, and it is all white. Its shell is like mercury, with thick spiral patterns. The whole body looks like a coiled silver python, and it faintly emits a very strange phenomenon. At this time, hibernation has obviously begun, the body rises and falls slowly, and the mucous membrane on the body surface makes a very weak sound of air movement.

"Silver-armored snails are not very aggressive and rarely attack humans. But once they go crazy, the venom they spew is very powerful and can easily corrode B-grade alloys." Yuan Qing raised his wrist, looked at the information about the silver-armored snail, and gently Drawing out the long sword "Fierce Tiger", he quietly probed into the gap in the mountain wall and violently activated his spiritual energy.

The psychic power is combined with the right arm, and with the help of the long sword, the punch comes out like a sword!

With a sneer, an extremely dazzling silver sword energy shot out from the fierce tiger sword, easily piercing the snail carapace, and then continued to penetrate deeper, almost penetrating the entire hill. Where the carapace was damaged, the silver-armored snail's body fluid instantly flowed out, showing a milky white color and exuding a rich milk-like fragrance.

"Hey, hey!" The hibernating silver-armored snail was stabbed by the sword energy. Its body trembled in pain, and it let out a strange scream. Its soft feet suddenly became extremely hard, and it suddenly exerted force toward the ground. The snail smashed into the mountain wall and rushed out of the cave, leaving a trail of slime on the ground. Thick smoke billowed out in an instant, corroding the ground and scorching it black.

Yuan Qing kicked his feet on the ground, flipped upside down in the air, and retreated more than twenty meters to avoid the collision of the silver-armored snail. He looked at it carefully and was slightly surprised.

The body of this big snail was curled up into a ball just now, but now it is fully unfolded, reaching a height of more than 13 meters and a length of about 15 meters, like a moving residential building; its head poked out from under the carapace, with a long There are four pairs of tentacles, and there is a bucket-sized eye on the tip of each tentacle. It looks extremely angry, and the eyes are blood-red.

The surface of the place where the sword energy was stabbed has been covered with a layer of translucent mucus, and a faint white mist has emerged. The recovery speed is very fast, leaving only a shallow mark in just a few seconds. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly see it. Not coming out.

"The silver-armored snail has super vitality, but its weak point is its eyes." Yuan Qing held the fierce tiger sword, slowly took a few steps back, casually assumed an offensive posture, and stared closely at the eight eyes of the big snail.

It is recorded in the data that this kind of soft-bodied mutant beast is often difficult to kill, and it can survive even if hundreds of transparent holes are punctured in its body. The simplest way is to cut off the tentacles on its head. The eyes above will also fall off, which is a fatal injury that cannot be recovered. For example, the spiritual sword energy just now had destroyed many obstacles in its body, even the carapace was blasted, but it was useless, and it quickly recovered as before.

"It's a bit difficult to cut off the tentacles." Yuan Qing secretly thought in his heart.

The silver-armored snail is very clear about its own weaknesses. The tentacles on its head are extremely flexible, like a spirit snake spitting messages. It can easily retract into its soft body at any time, like flowing liquid, hiding in any part of its body. Now he stretched out his tentacles and exposed his eyes. He was probably really angry and wanted to see what the attacker looked like.

"Hey, hey!" The silver-armored snail screamed suddenly, and a gap more than half a meter wide opened under its head. A large ball of transparent mucus spurted out from the gap, like a small lake falling from the sky, toward Yuan Qing rushed towards him.

Yuan Qing's legs were slightly bent, and he suddenly exerted force. His body seemed to be equipped with high-strength springs, and he jumped more than thirty meters with a sound.

Bang!

The snail's slime fell on the place where Yuan Qing had been standing, corroding the ground into a large pit four to five meters deep, with a radius of more than two meters. From the depths of the pit, extremely foul-smelling black smoke emitted, exuding a strong toxic smell.

"After being hit by this thing, I estimate that at most I will be left with only one right arm, and the other parts will probably melt instantly." Yuan Qing swallowed, tightened his right hand holding the Fierce Tiger Sword slightly, and gritted his teeth suddenly : "The tentacles are not easy to attack, but the movement speed is not very fast. Let me give you a tough move!"

Yuan Qing kicked the ground hard with his left foot, and the ground exploded with a bang. At the same time, he changed the Fierce Tiger Sword to his left hand, stretched out his right arm straight, and rushed out with a whoosh like an arrow flying from the string, using his right arm as a spear. , easily pierced the snail's abdomen, and rushed directly into the big snail's belly together with the entire body!

"Come on, come on!" The silver-armored snail was in excruciating pain, and its body fell to the ground, rolling randomly. At the same time, it frantically mobilized its software to squeeze Yuan Qing's body desperately to squeeze him out of the body.

In the snail's belly, Yuan Qing braced himself to withstand the pressure. His right arm was shrouded in silver light and he was cutting vertically and horizontally without any rules. He was holding the fierce tiger sword in his left hand and was also slashing and slashing down, cutting into pieces the surrounding snail software. Baluo touched the direction of the snail's head again and suddenly released a spiritual sword energy.

laugh!

The psychic sword energy was like a sharp knife cutting through tofu, piercing the snail's body easily and piercing out from the top of its head. It cut off the two tentacles, together with the eyes above, and fell to the ground with a snap.

One sword, two swords, three swords...

In less than half a minute, the spiritual energy in Yuan Qing's body was almost completely consumed, and the silver-armored snail fell to the ground, his head stabbed into a hornet's nest by the spiritual sword energy. He had stopped struggling, the breath of life almost completely disappeared, and milky white body fluids were flowing all over the ground. Like a small lake, the fragrance in the air is refreshing and refreshing.

"Yuan Qing, do it quickly." Zhinao's voice sounded extremely urgent: "After the snail dies, the life essence dissipates very quickly. Taking out its glands and putting them in the laboratory can prevent the loss of life essence."

Yuan Qing didn't dare to delay, and rushed out of the snail carcass. He didn't bother to clean up the mess on his body. He brandished the fierce tiger sword, cut open the snail's chest, cut off a piece of translucent soft tissue the size of a water basin, and aimed it at the right side. The six-pointed star pattern on the arm lit up with a scanning beam, and it instantly entered the laboratory.

"It's okay now." Zhinao's voice sounded a little relaxed: "Now wash your body and continue to collect other mutant beast materials. According to the database records, there is a mutant rat nest eighty miles northeast. I want to refine it for you. The most important thing about the medicine we made is the mutated rat teeth.”
