    Fighting chickens like to eat bacon with a special taste. This may be like some beautiful women who like to eat fried stinky tofu. There is no reason to explain, or in other words, there is nothing wrong with it.

    The real problem lies in the special incense that causes aliens to become meat-hungry. They have no ability to distinguish. When they spread in a billowing manner, it is not only the infected aliens who are unlucky, but also the fighting ones.  The chicken itself.  As a result, this place looks like a square with a lot of pigeon food sprinkled on it, or a meadow with large pieces of carrion, attracting more and more birds with the characteristics of vultures to eat.  While competing for food, they accidentally turned themselves into bacon. When the fire-like melting acid smoke encounters Zhan, a special smell will be produced, which can easily be mistaken for a delicious special smell.  .  Therefore, the participation of predators can only make the scene more chaotic.

    At this time, the bloody fighting showed its ferocious side. The birds were so red-eyed for food that they looked like chicken drumsticks to everyone. The strong aliens were not to be outdone. In order to save their lives, they dared to fight to the death.

    Xue Lei and the others watched dumbfoundedly as the world just a short distance away quickly turned into a Shura hell. While chills ran down their backs, they deeply admired Ji Liang's methods and calculations.  It is precisely because of the opening of the energy shield that very little fumes from melted acid enter, and the little bit is extracted by the good ventilation system, so this tomb-like Thorn Castle becomes the eye of the storm, with raging fighting  Nothing to do with this.

    After a long time, Gu Qingxue sighed: "The boss's methods are really endless. With such methods, we can regain the city in the future. Let's do this first and let the monsters kill them."

    Xue Lei shook his head, "Everyone must know that the boss has a strong nationalist complex. So, if a similar situation can be replicated at a very low cost, it will not only appear here and now. I think this is what is called  Miracle achievements are always based on harsh conditions."

    Zhong Yue thought for a moment, and it was indeed true.  As members of 2012, they naturally know what sacrifices the territory has made in order to save more people.  We also know what efforts Ji Liang made to save and revive the cause.  In fact, it is precisely because of understanding.  Only then did he have respect from the bottom of his heart. As for his personal charisma, it was just branches and leaves, not to mention that Ji Liang was not lovable in terms of personality and behavior.

    For a period of time after that, it was basically lackluster. Although there was blood and flesh flying outside, it was not a hunt for novelties.  It's not movie watching, it's a job that is not liked by others, but it is necessary to do it. At least among the others, Xue Lei, no one is excited or even happy when they see it, if possible.  They would rather spend more time and energy cooking a delicious meal, reading a book, chatting, etc.

    The fighting stopped completely. It was past 20 o'clock in the evening. The entire small square and the surrounding area were in ruins and there were countless corpses.  There is a crimson mist floating in the air, which is formed by the interaction between the energy-rich part of the monsters' blood and the steaming melted acid.  They are obviously heavier than dust but refuse to fall, adding a bit of weirdness and blood to this area. The sweet and greasy smell in the air forces the monsters to stay away from this area. The remaining smoke  Fragrance, for the monsters here.  Whether it's in the sky or underground, the smell is unforgettable.

    In the Castle of Thorns, Ji Liang, who was slowly sipping a bowl of broth, subconsciously glanced towards the energy coral area.  The eyes that had been watching finally disappeared.

    He was not sure whether the other party was satisfied or dissatisfied with the scene. Anyway, he was quite satisfied, at least he was satisfied with the other party's departure.

    The other party was a guy even more powerful than Verus, as soon as he appeared.  It gave him a strong sense of danger.  Before he understood the situation, he was not willing to rashly confront an enemy of this level.

    But he didn¡¯t want to retreat easily, not only because of the confidence and pride in his heart, but also because of his intuition as a hunter.  Just like when encountering a wild wolf, even if you are defeated, you should not expose your back to its sight. Retreating at the first touch is very likely to change the delicate balance, causing the opponent to pursue you fiercely, and then start a bloody battle.

    Of course, this matter was also viewed by Ji Liang as something that the captain should bear alone, without affecting the team members to avoid their mood swings and affecting their normal performance.

    So, Xue Lei and the others continued to happily enjoy their free time after dinner, and made a small bet on how many precious materials they could get this time.  In the last round, we bet on how long and how many lives it would take for the monster to use up the snake vine protection. Xue Lei was the winner. He got a kiss from the two ladies very coquettishly and took advantage of Li Shiman.  Talking to each other, several people were very enthusiastic this time.

    Gambling has already arisen among hunters as early as the refuge period, and it has become more and more popular. However, in terms of purpose, it is much more benign than before. It is a real small gamble to entertain people, regulate emotions, and smooth things over.  ??Exercise your eyesight and judgment. Unlike in the past, when you relieve stress, most of it is spent on gambling money.

    At 21 in the evening, the night was quiet, and fine snowflakes were floating in the air. Xue Lei and others were ordered to clean up the battlefield, and all the guard puppets were dispatched to act as coolies for transportation.

    "This scene is so beautiful and dreamlike!" Li Charmaine couldn't help but sigh again.

    On the other side of the artificial river, energy corals release all kinds of brilliance, and there are all kinds of tentacles like flowers, leaves, and brushes blooming, swaying, and squirming.  The large coral bonsai below is even more magnificent.

    For people who have suffered from a serious lack of color in their lives due to the catastrophe, this colorful scenery with moist and full colors is indeed very attractive.

    And due to the raging dark energy and devouring light, this beautiful scenery is basically difficult to see clearly from a thousand meters away. Being invisible is the true nature of night in this era.

    The darkness is like thick fog, you can't see far, and everything you can see is wind and snow. On such a night, even if the awakened people have no choice, they will not go out. However, in this city, there are more than one human group moving around.

    There is a group among them with a very clear goal, which is to come to the Castle of Thorns.

    It didn¡¯t take long.  This group of people met with Xue Lei and others.

    At this time, the collection of materials has come to an end, the work of skinning and cramping has ended, and all that is left is to collect numerous corpses.  To the surprise of Xue Lei and others, Ji Liang ordered all the monster corpses to be used as fertilizer for building thorns.  Based on their understanding, this is really a bit of a luxury. There are many powerful monsters here. Even if the most precious parts have been removed, their flesh and blood alone is still an extremely valuable asset.  In this way, it was used as flower fertilizer. Roughly calculated, the investment was more than twice the total investment in fighting the strange tree.

    "With such a big investment, the boss doesn't pay much attention to it."

    "Will this place become the second most beautiful tree?"

    "It's a bit interesting. But during the day, the boss told Belinda that we would meet at Xu Zhuangzi in five days, right?"

    While directing the guard puppets to work and chatting, they saw a group of people walking out of the darkness.  These people were dressed very strangely, with their whole bodies wrapped in sets of puffed-up fur coats, giving them a bloated feeling as if they were wearing a leather raft.  Slightly above the ankles, forearms, and neck.  There are a total of five openings, all of which are tied tightly with belts, and additional leather patches are applied to parts that are prone to wear and tear, such as the crotch, buttocks, knees, and elbows, and are tied with belts.  The bulging items are all small leather bags, with different styles, sizes and colors, obviously for the purpose of accurate identification to avoid confusion.  Their helmets reminded Xue Lei and others of Yuan Tong who appeared later in the Qishu incident.

    Bird head.  To be more precise, it has a short and pointed odd-shaped mask that looks like a sparrow's beak. The rest of it is close to a chemical protective mask. It can be seen that there is a skeleton inside, so the leather is covered with it and the shape is regular. It can be said that the equipment is medium-sized.  The most complex part of the process, so it is not difficult to understand the importance they attach to this component.

    The weapons used by these people are very unpopular.  The short weapons are all Gurkha scimitars, and the long-range attack weapons seem to be blow darts. The reason why I say it looks like it is because it is not just a hollow rod, but has a bag at one end, and the bag squirms.  , like a big fat maggot, not knowing how to use such a weapon.

    "Hello, heroes. I'm sorry for interrupting you, but please bear with me." The leader of the visitors spread his hands and stepped forward to strike up a conversation. His voice was dull and slightly hoarse. Even with the mask blocking it and the sound being distorted, you could still tell that he was a middle-aged man.  man.

    Xue Lei stepped forward, took off his mask very politely, showed a sunny smile, and then said: "Hello everyone. We accidentally learned that there are still humans living in this city, and the boss originally planned to take some time to visit.  Unexpectedly, the host was more hospitable than we thought.¡±

    Xue Lei politely and tactfully stated that he was just in charge, but the chatter obviously didn't mind. They were aware of the fort building in the afternoon and the fighting at dusk. They admitted that they had encountered the fierce dragon crossing the river. At least in terms of technology, they  I have never seen anyone better than these people. Looking at it up close now, I am even more impressed. Just looking at the equipment of Xue Lei and others, I feel like I know the autumn leaves.  They are also made from animals, plants, and minerals after the catastrophe, but compared to their armor, it can be said to be more than one level higher.  Especially the leader. He is a master craftsman in this field in the community. Naturally, he has a more professional vision. This vision is greater than that of all the smart people in the coalition, allied forces, and tribes combined during the Qishu incident.  It also needs to be professional, at least those people couldn't see the reason, but this person knew the value.

    Because of this, he pays great attention to his wording to avoid making the other party feel domineering, and at the same time, he cannot put himself in a bad light.The position of ? is too low.

    The two parties briefly exchanged a few words, and Xue Lei had an idea.  The visitor tried his best to maintain an image that was neither humble nor arrogant, but as a weak person who wanted to beg others, no matter how he acted, he would feel like that. After all, this was a group discussion, not a personal show. Xue Lei couldn't  Personal senses will affect the judgment of the matter itself.

    Soon after, Xue Lei appeared in Ji Liang's room and reported to him.

    After Ji Liang listened quietly, he said with a smile: "It's hard for these local snakes. They are afraid that we will take advantage of their interests, and they are afraid that we will be unhappy and cause disasters. They also want to establish some relations with us and use our strength to solve some problems."  It¡¯s really a delicate idea to deal with difficult and complicated diseases.¡±

    Xue Lei also chuckled, "I guess there must be something that I think I can rely on, so I am still unwilling to see us show our strength. In addition, it is probably because I haven't interacted with the outside world for some time, and the equipment and equipment are not self-contained."  He said that he was also very wary of us. When he spoke, the clouds and mountains were shrouded in mist, and he was not as happy as that old Lin. "

    "We will open a trading post here in the future, but we will not accept items from the old world."

    When Xue Lei heard what Ji Liang said, he understood his intention.  He felt that such conditions were actually easy to negotiate with the indigenous people here. Not accepting items from the old world was tantamount to telling them that there was no major conflict between them.  And if under such circumstances, the other party still tries to make things difficult for you, then you need to carefully consider the consequences.

    After hearing what Xue Lei said, the chatter who claimed to be Bao Buping felt relieved at first, but also felt anxious and secretly melancholy. From his experience, this kind of robbery without robbery should be more careful, because it often means that  His ambition is not small.  Furthermore, speaking well and doing well are two different things. Since the other party wants to settle here instead of staying temporarily, it means that there will definitely be no need to interact with them. Simply avoiding them will definitely not work.  How to get along specifically requires observation, and you also need to go back and discuss with several other heads.

    "Oh! Is it a good thing or a bad thing? I can't tell right now, but it's definitely not a worry-free thing!" Thinking this secretly, Bao Buping and Xue Lei greeted him politely, so this meeting became a proactive approach, which can be regarded as a sign of goodwill.  A more polite start.

    With his subordinates, Bao Buping walked back.

    The tallest and burliest man in the group came over and asked angrily: "Second uncle, are we still hunting? This afternoon, the ghosts (foreign races) have been taken advantage of (repaired), so it's time to start.  , I promised to bring a few lollipops to Cai Cai when I went out."

    Bao Buping snorted angrily, "Cai Cai is already thirteen, why do you still have snacks? Please calm down for a while."

    Now, everyone knew that tonight¡¯s hunting was probably in vain, and they all felt a little faint.  He followed Bao Buping weakly.

    At the same time, not far away, several clawed monsters climbed out of the open doors and windows, hung on the side walls like geckos, sniffed in the direction of the group of people, and then crawled  When I left, I just treated them as the same kind of people.

    If Ji Liang could see this scene, he would naturally understand why the indigenous people here are not interested in outsiders like him and his team who come as powerful saviors.  For the aliens in this city, the indirect barrier is stronger for the natives. As long as they are careful, they can come and go freely in the city. The only thing that can hinder them from obtaining supplies from the city is the aliens' opposition to the same kind.  It also has a relatively cold territorial concept, such as rummaging through its lair for things, and naturally it is impossible to make it smile.

    Ji Liang actually deduced a lot of information from Lao Lin, but he didn't expect that the natives had reached such a high level.  But these are not the point. The point is that after an afternoon of patient observation, he did not find any monster that could be linked to the special paint used by Lao Lin and the magic skin on his clothes.  This also means that the equipment and supplies that Lao Linzhan used to move freely in this city came from other sources.  Considering that they were not known to outsiders, he felt that he had reason to believe that there was a rather special mysterious area here that he had not yet discovered.

    Ji Liang also believes that the specialness of this mysterious area is probably stronger than the energy coral area on the surface, and most of this area is underground.  This is the reason why he established a stronghold in the name of the trading station. If the prediction is true, then he must find out, otherwise he will not be worried. He has a vague hunch that once the powerful aliens in the energy coral area obtain  The power of that mysterious area is very likely to activate the system of the energy coral area, thereby gaining the ability to spread leapfrog infection (To be continued)
