Winged snakes are very rare. Although they don't fly high, they are much more difficult to control than ordinary snakes.
It's almost winter now, and the snakes before hibernation are as ferocious as the beginning of spring.
Flower scorpions are already quite cautious, but snakes are hard to watch out for, let alone winged snakes.
Even if we encounter this situation during the day, it is not easy to deal with it. It is still at night.
The rider was bitten by a poisonous snake, cut off his own arm, and withdrew from the ranks of adventurers.
She could wait for Krishna in the danger zone, but she actually took a considerable risk.
But after Qu Jianlei pulled her aside, he raised his hand and slashed out with a knife. A three-meter-long winged snake fell to the ground.
Hua Xiezi looked at the man beside him in astonishment, "Just like that... I'll kill him?"
"What else do you need?" Qu Jianlei looked at her strangely, "Shout a slogan or something?"
Hua Xiezi was stunned for a moment, but still sighed sincerely, "It's really a good skill, have you got any results?"
"C-level, what do you think?" Qu Jianlei replied casually, "The film can make some money, if you want it, just take it."
The membrane on this kind of winged snake is worth some money, but everything else is worthless, and the meat cannot be eaten.
The flower scorpion actually chopped off the two wings of the winged snake.
It has nothing to do with personal economic conditions. All adventurers in the wasteland are the same and will not waste any available resources.
After folding her wings and walking for a while, she asked, "Is it so easy for you to fight C-level mutant beasts?"
She has no shortage of experience in fighting mutant beasts. Not to mention C-level ones, she has also fought against B-level ones many times, but they were all team battles.
However, it is still very rare for a person to fight C-level mutant beasts, and most of the time he encounters them suddenly.
The C-level winged snake was no easier to deal with than the B-level mutant beast, but it was killed by the opponent with a single blow.
Qu Jianlei didn't reply at all, so he pretended that he didn't hear anything. Is there anything to show off?
Until dawn, the two of them still hadn't reached the destination. Hua Xiezi was panting and his eyes were full of resentment.
She made a suggestion, "We have to take a break, I may be holding back..."
"But you will know in the future that I am not the kind of person who only delays things."
"Let's go," Qu Jianlei was unmoved, "The front is the territory of the purple-blooded arrow fox. At dawn, they are basically sleeping."
The purple-blooded arrow fox is also a mutated beast, one that is not classified into levels. The Fox King is probably C-level.
This thing has spikes on its body and its fur is useless. Not only does it have no hunting value, it also tends to come in groups, so it is better to just avoid it.
It was probably in the afternoon that the two of them arrived at Qu Jianlei's hiding place.
We are already more than 100 kilometers deep into the "extremely dangerous zone".
"No wonder others can't find you," Hua Xiezi sighed, and then said, "There is actually a water heater? I'll take a shower first."
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, he also liked clean partners.
Although this temporary place is simple and crude, he has been able to build it up after being stuck here for so long, and the living conditions are not bad.
The two of them took baths one after another, and Qu Jianlei took out the pot and heated up the stew he had made earlier.
Although there are a lot of meat floss, before the cold winter comes, if you can hunt wild animals, you still have to eat fresh ones first.
"Your conditions are really not bad," Hua Xiezi praised, then stared at his face thoughtfully.
Qu Jianlei was stared at in confusion, "What are you looking at?"
Both of them have taken off their face scarves. Hua Scorpion's complexion is slightly dark, and his face is a bit weathered, but he is still pretty.
Her face blushed slightly when she heard this. She naturally couldn't say it, but she didn't expect you to be quite handsome.
She lowered her head to eat, "How do I feel that the silly song you told them is... a bit similar?"
She said it casually, but unexpectedly she actually got it right.
Qu Jianlei didn't care either.
During this year, he had no shortage of food. Not only did he grow taller, but he also gained weight or strength. He was no longer the skinny and dry person he was before.
While eating meat, he casually replied, "From now on, the name Krishna will no longer be used. Call me Panda."
"Panda..." Hua Xiezi thought for a moment and made sure he had never heard of this kind of creature. Is it both a bear and a cat?
But she didn't ask, just nodded slightly, "Then my name will be... Huang Scorpion?"
It's completely normal for adventurers to change their nicknames at will.
Qu Jianlei felt that it would be more appropriate for her to be called "Black Scorpion", but there was no need to say this.
After eating and drinking enough, Qu Jianlei went into the mecha and slept. The transport mecha was good for that, you could sleep in the storage compartment.
Hua Scorpion said that he can stay on duty during the night, but in the second half of the night...can you rotate it during the black and white days?
Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly: You can also sleep, I have installed a lot of early warning devices outside.
Hua Xiezi was not polite when he heard this. He cleaned a storage compartment and got into it himself to sleep.
It was hard enough for both of them, and they slept until almost noon the next day.
After packing up their belongings, it was almost evening. When it got dark, the two of them started to set off and walked deeper into the mountains.
At first, Hua Xiezi said she could walk, but within half an hour of walking, she decisively decided to lie down in the storage cabin.
In the mountains, walking is too slow, so mechas are more convenient.
Qu Jianlei controlled the mecha to move forward at a constant speed, which could travel about thirty kilometers per hour.
It's not that it can't be faster, but the output power at this speed is more economical and the noise is smaller.
By the time it got daylight, we had traveled almost two hundred kilometers.
This is just the way out. The straight-line distance is probably less than fifty kilometers. Most of the time, I am actually looking for the way.
When it got dark, Qu Jianlei began to look for a place to stay.
It is not difficult to find a place like this in the mountains. After finding it, he started digging with a robotic arm.
Although Hua Xiezi has been an adventurer for many years, this was his first time seeing mecha construction.
She couldn't help but sigh, "With the mecha, it's much easier to survive in the mountains."
Qu Jianlei muttered, "It's good, but it consumes too much energy."
The mecha quickly dug a big hole for hiding. He controlled the mecha and walked in while Hua Scorpion camouflaged the entrance of the hole.
The two of them remained alert enough to the flying mecha that might appear at any time.
Days passed like this, and a month later, the mecha had covered a straight-line distance of almost a thousand kilometers.
We also encountered wild beasts and mutant beasts on the road, including an A-level mutant beast, a huge horned eagle.
However, Qu Jianlei did not fight, but relied on staying still to get rid of the opponent. This process took him two days.
He did not consider the factor of mutated crystals for the time being. The main reason was that the meat of the horned eagle was inedible and it was difficult to fight.
He believes that there is no need to waste precious energy blocks here.
He was not sure how far he had to go before he could get out of the mountain, so he had to save resources now.
In fact, he stopped digging holes after half a month in the mountains.
Digging holes consumes too much energy blocks, and it is impossible for a flying mecha to penetrate so far into the mountains.
That is to rush on the road during the day and choose a relatively safe place to rest on the spot at night.
At this time, Qu Jianlei was really grateful to Liefeng.
If he hadn't heard about the mecha, this endless mountain range would have been really difficult to break into.
Moreover, ordinary combat mechas may not be suitable for use, so this transport mecha is the best.
At the beginning of the month, they encountered a strong cold wave.
It is already difficult to walk through the endless mountains in winter, but it becomes even more difficult after the cold wave. The strong winds make the rocks slippery.
Thanks to the mecha, if he were a human, he could only choose a cave to hide in.
After walking like this for a day, Qu Jianlei chose a sheltered place at night and released the flower scorpion.
He thought that he could not go on like this because the energy blocks were consumed too quickly, so it was necessary to find a place to hide.
Hua Scorpion's expression was a little ugly, because it meant... they might not be able to get out of the Endless Mountains.
But Krishna's words made sense, so she said: Choose a place with water to rest.
They brought enough filter elements and filter papers, but they kept circulating themselves... It felt really bad.
Many mountain springs in the Endless Mountains are unpolluted and can be drank.
Qu Jianlei also agreed with her suggestion. A drinkable mountain spring means that animals may come to drink the water.
So their mission the next day was not to rush, but to find a reliable water source.
After another two days, they finally selected a water source where fish and shrimps were still frozen in the ice. None of the fish and shrimps had mutated.
Nearby, they actually found a cave in which a group of black-backed golden apes lived.
The battle broke out in an instant.
The Black-backed Golden Ape has a strong body and is extremely powerful, and it is a social animal. Among the C-level mutant beasts, it is the most difficult to mess with.
Fortunately, Qu Jianlei was alert enough. The mecha's left hand was a vehicle-mounted Gauss machine gun, and its right hand was a long knife.
The overclocked oscillating knife could barely split the golden ape's fur.
This is thanks to the use of mechas. With the strength of ordinary people, even if they hold a long knife, they may not be able to break the opponent's defense.
To really kill the golden ape, you have to rely on a vehicle-mounted machine gun.
The electromagnetic gun is definitely more effective, but Qu Jianlei doesn't want to collapse the cave, and there are not many shells for the electromagnetic gun.
There were seventeen black-backed golden apes, large and small, in total. It took Qu Jianlei three hours to end the battle.
If they weren't equipped with mechas, even if four or five of them were tied together, they would still be killed by each other.
It didn't matter that the long knife was completely damaged. The machine gun had also used more than 300 rounds of bullets, which was equivalent to one-fifth of the inventory.
But the good thing is that the meat of the Golden Ape is edible and not too unpalatable.
Then he explored the cave again and found that the cave was twists and turns and was seven or eight hundred meters long.
What's even more amazing is that the deepest part of the cave is actually very warm, even hot.
Even Hua Scorpion was stunned, "What's going on?"
Qu Jianlei didn't know very well, but he could give a rough guess, "It should be... geothermal heat?"
However, these two words have indeed touched upon Hua Scorpion’s knowledge blind spot, “What is geothermal?”
