After the deployment was in place, Twinkle found a tall, severely weathered rock pillar in the nearby grotto.
After cutting it off from the root, tie it with golden worm silk and drag it back to the target location. Raise the hook and sickle and start swinging vigorously.
Huh~huh~
The sound of wind kept ringing.
After a while, the height of the rock pillar moved downwards during the swing, and it began to flatten and crush the surrounding sand, and a super millstone driven by insect power appeared.
"Twinkle is going to hunt for prey again, meow. It's so shocking every time I watch it."
Dilu, who was standing on a wooden box inside the bulwark and looking down at her, exclaimed in admiration.
"Yes, it would be great if all monsters could hunt in place like this."
Li Fan agreed.
The surrounding sand sank rapidly as it was continuously pushed outwards, and a regular circular depression soon formed.
呲~呲~
A cloud of pink mist was discharged from under Shining.
The rock pillar was lifted up and swirled again, the wind suddenly picked up, and the pink mist scattered around quickly merged into the air.
A strong aroma came right away.
The giant gorilla on the toilet sniffed, put down the book he was holding upside down, and immediately roared.
"It smells wrong. I almost forgot about it. The smell is too strong for the giant gorilla. I have to go back into the ball to avoid it."
Li Fan immediately put the giant gorilla into the ball to avoid the strong aroma.
Puff puff!
The almost liquid viscous worm thread was sprayed onto the inner wall of the cone-shaped depression.
呲~呲~
The pink mist was released again. This time, the sparkling mist did not spread around the swirling rock pillars, but allowed it to accumulate in the depressions, scattering and contaminating the surface of the sticky worm threads.
The worm silk mass quickly flashed with crystal pink light.
Peng~
With a muffled sound, the rock pillar was smashed into the sand at the center of the bottom. After standing firm, Twinkle quickly climbed to the top of the rock pillar and watched quietly.
Not long after, a black-shelled beetle about half a meter long emerged from the smooth sand wall surface of the depression.
For this kind of creature that can travel under the sand, the slope in the depression obviously cannot trap it.
However, after actively touching the sticky worm thread, the beetle was immediately stuck in place. No matter how its legs moved, it could not break free from the stickiness of the worm thread.
The sparkle on the top of the rock pillar did not reveal anything, as if it did not care about the captured beetle.
Soon, more black-shelled beetles emerged from the sunken pits, scrambling to crawl toward the sticky worm threads.
Ta-la, tap-la.
The sound of carapace collision was playing intensively with a certain rhythm, and the sound became stronger and stronger.
Buzz~buzz~
A large number of flying giant bees arrived in groups.
Li Fan, who was watching on the Yanhuo, did not have trypophobia, but he still looked away when he saw more and more insects moving in the pit.
In contrast, Dilu, who had been fond of catching various insects around Kala Village since he was young, was very enthusiastic about it.
Half an hour later, Shining, perhaps feeling that the captured insects were enough for a meal, jumped off the rock pillar, pulled it out of the sand, and once again dispersed the pink aura with a swirl.
Then the sickle tips of the two hooks turned into knives and forks. One pierced the insect shell first and fixed it on the sand. The other was responsible for cutting, picking up the insect meat and putting it into the mouthparts.
After observing for more than ten minutes, Di Lu discovered a strange place and asked curiously: "Shin Shining will tie some black-shelled beetles to Meow, are they going to be used as food reserves?"
…
"No, that's because I want to use the other party to help excavate the remains of the ruins."
Li Fan gave an explanation.
"Can this black-shelled beetle help meow?"
Dilu was a little surprised.
"When Shining is full, you will know what they are used for."
After wandering around the bottom of the pit and eating the buffet for half an hour, Shining, who was full, began to collect the worm threads on the hook and sickle.
The dozens of entangled black-shelled beetles at the end quickly gathered in front of Twinkle.
While trying to escape and struggling, a thick cloud of powdery mist dispersed, and the black-shelled beetle immediately became less restless.
Soon they all burrowed into the sand, and Shining kept spreading the insect silk, letting the black-shelled beetles stay away from her.
Buzz~buzz~
A few minutes later, a worm thread penetrated deep into the sand and made a slight trembling sound.
Shining switched the worm thread to the right hook and sickle, tied it, and then raised it upwards with force.
Squeak! Chunk! Boom!
There was a roar from the bottom of the sunken pit, and a huge amount of sand and dust rose up and floated into the air.
A white stone pillar emerged from the sand. After flipping at high altitude for several weeks, it hit the sand hard.
"So that's what it is, meow!"
Observing several circles of worm threads wrapped around the middle of the stone pillar, as well as the black-shelled beetles crawling on the surface, Dilu suddenly realized.
It was Shining that drove the black-shelled beetle to keep exploring down in the sand. When it found a suitable wreckage target, it would wrap the worm silk around the surface.
"Windy can't control the strength of this kind of dead pull. It's a bit dangerous for us here, Fei Rui! Drive the Flame farther away."
Li Fan saw hidden dangers.
Boom! Peng! Boom! Peng!
The white remains of the ruins kept flying up, crashing down, flying up, and crashing down.
The nearby area was quickly occupied. Viewed from a distance, there was not much difference from the remains of the ancient city on the surface.
After the meal was full and the components were almost ready, Winky began to draw the structural diagram on the sand.
Li Fandilu came to the side to observe.
"The view from the control room is a bit small, and there is no suitable large-scale metal frame anyway. It would be better if it was wider."
After Li Fan gave his suggestion, Shining reached out his hook and sickle and modified the structural diagram.
The sun goes down and the cold wind blows.
After frantically feeding Big Mouth the meat loaded on the ship, Li Fan returned to the cabin, took out the handwritten version of the structure diagram of the market city, and decided to improve it.
Although this market city will not be used for a long time, as long as the structural diagram of the market city is continuously improved and improved.
Even if construction materials continue to change in the future, structural optimization will still be extremely effective.
Early the next morning, Li Fan brought the structural diagram that had been modified late into the night in front of Shanshan, and continued to explain various key points.
The flashing compound eyes use purple light to quickly jot down areas that need improvement.
After completing the exchange, Shining prepared to start construction and assembly according to the improvement plan, but the brutal construction with flying bricks made it very dangerous to be around.
So Li Fan and Di Lu retreated far away before letting Shan Shan start work.
"Li Fan, this time the Xucheng is also a cat in human form?"
Looking at the dusty construction site in the distance, Dilu asked tentatively.
"Yes, but a lot of structural optimizations have been made. In theory, it should be stronger and the limbs should have better extensibility."
…
Li Fan responded.
"Then does it have a name, meow?"
"name?"
"Yes, meow, last time the Giant Ruins didn't have a name until it died. I always felt it was very pitiful."
Dilu said regretfully.
"Name. Then call him Captain Mantis."
"What an impressive name, meow!"
Dilu said in surprise.
"Is this a good name?"
Li Fan asked somewhat unexpectedly.
Although it was not said casually and it contained a certain meaning, he didn't think it was that brilliant.
"Uh, to be honest, I thought you would have a name like Juju, meow."
"Well, to be honest, if the purpose wasn't very clear, I would really want to call it Juju."
"Purpose? Isn't Captain Mantis used to defeat the Exterminator? Meow?"
Dilu couldn't understand.
"If Captain Mantis is going to attack the Destruction Blade soon, Zhan Zhan won't be able to conduct special training."
"That's it, Meow, Captain Mantis's purpose is"
"referee."
Boom! Boom
There was a dull vibration and rumble, and in the rolling sand and dust that covered the sky, a white giant figure gradually appeared.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Under the guidance of Big Mouth, the humanoid mantis captain of Ruins City took steps and ran quickly on the sand.
Being dragged behind by several worm threads, Zhanzhan was gliding on the sand and was a little confused.
After walking for more than an hour, a ceratopsian with a missing single horn on its head appeared in front.
Li Fan picked up the telescope and watched for a moment, then quickly reached out of the control room and shouted down: "Big mouth! Isn't this a handsome guy! Did you find the wrong person?"
The big mouth spit out flying sand, and after replying that this was the right path, the yellow dorsal fin faced Xiaoshuai and rushed straight towards him.
Xiao Shuai scraped his paws against the ground and was about to raise his head and roar when he noticed Captain Mantis dragging Zhan Zhan towards him. He then suppressed his roar and dug in the sand to burrow away.
"It seems that Xiaoshuai has been tempered by the environment and is no longer young. He no longer has that youthful spirit."
Li Fan said with emotion.
After scaring away the handsome man, the swimming direction in the big mouth sand suddenly changed. Not long after, a concubine spider and a bunch of minister spiders appeared at the entrance of the cave in the mountains lined with grottoes.
After intimidating the opponent to evacuate, Big Mouth changed direction again.
Li Fan finally understood that the general direction the other party was leading was correct, but he deliberately took a few detours in the middle.
The purpose is to highlight his tough background and let the monsters in the area clearly realize that he is not easy to bully.
"Big Mouth! It's okay for you to do this now, but don't get too far forward when you see the Destroyer Blade!"
Li Fan reminded.
Dazui has the regional skill [Old Jianghu on the Sand Plain], so he shouldn't make this kind of mistake, but he is really worried that the opponent will get too ahead of himself.
Passing through the mountains lined with grottoes, the endless desert plains appear in front of you.
Li Fan looked at the map and realized that he had entered an uncalibrated area.
"Dazui has done a good job in intelligence work. You can find them all here."
As the journey progresses, there are fewer and fewer monsters around.
Not long after, a large fan-shaped black mark on the sand caught Li Fan's attention.
"Not only are there marks caused by high-temperature burning, but there are also many craters caused by the explosion. These are the traces left by the Exterminator Blade."
…
After Li Fan observed for a moment, he made a judgment.
As more and more burn marks appeared on the sand, as well as the incomplete monster bones, Li Fan became convinced that the Exterminator Blade was not far away.
Not long after, Bigmouth slowed down, turned, and began to swim back.
A red figure from the lake appeared on the distant horizon.
"The flame-shaped shell on the back is dark red, the sharp corners on the head are long and short, and there is a tail blade that can spread explosive dust. This is it."
After Li Fan confirmed the opponent's identity while watching, he jumped down from Captain Mantis' control room and came to Zhan Zhan at the rear.
"Zhanzhan, your enemy has been found."
Ouch.
The tail blade duel is the fate of Dragon Slayer.
Zhan Zhan growled, and at the same time, excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Theoretically, you will lose miserably, but with me and Shining here, we will definitely be able to ensure maximum safety. All you have to do is continue to practice yourself and have the courage to try to launch attacks."
Seeing that Li Fan spoke so seriously, the restless Zhan Zhan quickly calmed down.
"It may be the most powerful dragon-slayer in the world. All you have to do is surpass it and replace it. Are you confident? Just respond in a low voice."
Ouch.
Zhan Zhan almost didn't think before he responded.
"Okay! Then let's set off!"
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Sensing violent tremors from the surface of the sand, he was chewing the extinguishing blade of explosive minerals and turned his neck sideways to watch.
"Uh! You're not afraid at all, meow!"
Dilu exclaimed.
Rushing all the way, anyone who sees Captain Mantis must quickly avoid him, just like the ancient dragon traveling.
However, the source of intimidation is not the dragon attribute energy, but the intuitive sense of oppression brought by the huge size.
But this deterrent does not seem to have the desired effect on the Exterminator.
"I don't know what fear is, that's good."
Li Fan actually recognized this characteristic.
The calm-looking Ninja Blade immediately became unsettled when he saw a Dragon Slayer following behind Captain Mantis.
The earnest gaze, as if seeing prey, was displayed without reservation at this moment.
Captain Mantis stopped suddenly and Zhanzhan quickly ran out from beside his knees.
Ouch!
Ouch!
The two dragons lowered their bodies and walked around each other while looking at each other.
Di Lu pulled Li Fan's belt with her cat's paw.
Li Fan, who understood the meaning, was stunned for a moment, and the translator said: "Three swords, kill you."
"Ah! Help me kill Meow!"
Dilu was shocked by the short and brutal speech of the Exterminator Blade, and the hair all over his body stood up in shock.
"Don't worry, Zhanzhan didn't show any weakness. He said that you are a senior, so I'll let you get a blow first."
"Well~ I'm relieved now, nya. Ah! Wouldn't it be more dangerous to have a knife?"
Dilu covered her head with her cat paws, feeling even more nervous now.
"But at least I didn't lose in terms of momentum."
Li Fan felt that since he decided to let Zhan Zhan undergo special training, many specific details had to be left under the control of the other party.
squeak
The two dragons retreated a certain distance, and at the same time they put the tail blades into their mouths to burn and grind them, and a harsh metal scraping sound sounded.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Several small explosions appeared in the mouth of the Exterminator.
On the tail blade containing red light, countless fine black particles flew in the wind.
The speed of the White Emperor's Holy Sword was a little slow to cast and burn. By the time the tail blade was released and rebounded behind him, the Extermination Blade had already completed the process of casting and burning. However, the opponent was not in a hurry to attack first.
Phew!
Zhanzhan thrust his tail blade diagonally into the sand and stood upright.
The annihilation blade was not polite, he stepped hard on the ground with both feet, jumped up, twisted his body in mid-air, and swung out his tail blade to slash.
Dang! Crunch! Boom
The tail blade filled with red light struck Zhan Zhan's back, and the flame-like shell on one side was chopped into pieces and swept away, and then exploded during the friction of the slash.
Under the impact of the explosion, Zhanzhan's back was bent downwards, but he took advantage of the situation and twisted his body on the spot, swinging the tail blade glowing with white light horizontally.
when!
The annihilation blade landed on the ground, and the mouth was opened to the limit to catch the tail blade, and then bite it with all its strength.
Squeak.
Zhanzhan stepped down with the soles of his feet, sinking deep into the sand, and wanted to pull the tail blade back, but when his feet landed, the Annihilation Blade was sunk deep into the sand and could no longer be shaken.
