On October 24, frost fell, and it was also Zhang Yanhang’s first day entering the world of ashes. At 11:50 in the evening, in the inner area of Daragu, a small hematite ant nest, there was an unknown fork in the road that was dark and cramped but littered with corpses.
.
Zhang Yanhang grabbed the head of the hematite worker ant in front of him and crushed it directly. Whether it was the hard exoskeleton armor, the fragile flesh and blood tissue, or the most important simple ganglia that drive brain functions, they were all destroyed by Zhang Yanhang instantly.
Crushed into a puddle of minced meat.
A large amount of thick red body fluid flew high and splashed on the surrounding walls during the squeezing process. A small amount flowed out from Zhang Yanhang's fingers and finally slowly dripped to the ground and other thick red body fluids.
The body fluids merge and turn into a narrow red blood river flowing into the distance due to the influence of gravitational potential energy.
Zhang Yanhang felt a little sick looking at the mixture of flesh and blood mixed with exoskeleton armor, mouthpart fragments and tentacles in his hand, so he threw it out and hit the last few hematite worker ants in the small hematite ant nest Daragu.
In Zhang Yanhang's hands, the mixture of flesh and blood tissue that was as soft as mud was boosted by speed. Various sharp and hard exoskeleton armor pieces and mouthpart fragments inside it shot out like shotguns. The last few remaining hematite worker ants
It punched large holes in its body and quickly harvested their lives.

…
"It took me more than seven hours to finally hunt down all 3,000 hematite worker ants in the hematite ant nest." After killing all the hematite worker ants, Zhang Yanhang looked at the time on his watch, "
Unexpectedly, it’s already 11:50, and there are only ten minutes left before the transmission channel will be closed.”
"But fortunately, I am no longer the same person I used to be. In the past, I still had to worry about the time it took to run back to the teleportation channel. But now, I can save a lot of time on the return journey just by using teleportation."
time."
Zhang Yanhang remembered that it took him nearly fifty minutes to run all the way back from here last time. Although his movement speed has increased now, it should take at least half an hour to run back.
Therefore, from this aspect, teleportation is indeed very useful to him. It is one of the most important spells among the thirty-five spells he has learned, alongside the advanced giant transformation and advanced rage.
Zhang Yanhang stood there and waited for a few seconds, picked up the treasure chests of two red iron worker ants and put them in his pocket, and then directly activated the teleportation technique to teleport back to the C-shaped passage.
"Since there are only ten minutes left, I'm too lazy to move anymore. I'd better just stay here until the transmission channel is closed. However, before that, I need to clear the third prize pool of the lucky slot machine again.
.”
At present, the third prize pool of the lucky slot machine has been refreshed, and Zhang Yanhang immediately started to pull the metal rocker on the side of the lucky slot machine.
As the metal rocker was pulled, the small hematite ant nest Daragu instantly fell into a time pause again, and hundreds of densely packed text option boxes appeared in front of his eyes.
?【Please select the specific content of this lucky slot machine draw】
[Option 1:???(Third Prize, Red Iron Worker Ant, First Level and One Star, Ordinary Monster.)]
[Option 2: ??????(Third Prize, Red Iron Flying Ant, First Order and One Star, Elite Monster.)]
[Option 3:???(Third Prize, Red Iron Soldier Ant, First Level Two Stars, Ordinary Monster.)]

[Option sixty-five:???(Third Prize, Red Iron Breeding Ant, First-order Three Stars, Ordinary Monster.)]
…
[Option 121:★☆★(Fourth prize, thank you for your patronage, no physical prizes.)]
…
After successfully triggering the option, Zhang Yanhang carefully checked the specific options, but found that the slot machine prize pool had not changed much this time. "Sure enough, we still can't have too much expectations for the slot machine prize pool."
"So, I choose option one, the first-order, one-star ordinary monster red iron worker ant." After quickly reading the options, Zhang Yanhang quickly made a specific choice.
…………
[Successfully killed the first-order, one-star monster ‘Hematite Flying Ant (Elite)’×1, soul points +7.]
[Successfully killed the first-order, one-star monster ‘Hematite Flying Ant (Elite)’×1, soul points +7.]
[Successfully killed the first-order, one-star monster ‘Hematite Flying Ant (Elite)’×1, soul points +7.]
…
After successfully killing all the red iron ants with a death wave, Zhang Yanhang stood on the spot and began to wait quietly for the refresh of the dropped treasure chests. After about a few seconds, there were scattered pieces on the ground of the C-shaped passage.
There are eight dropped treasure chests, spanning three levels: green, blue, and purple.
"Damn it! Did my luck finally break out? I only killed a hundred red iron ants but got eight dropped treasure chests."
Moreover, what surprised Zhang Yanhang the most was that the Red Iron Ant King in the prize pool also dropped a treasure box this time. It was a bit outrageous. He had just killed the second Red Iron Ant King but inexplicably got it.
Got a dropped treasure chest.
Zhang Yanhang picked up the eight dropped treasure boxes on the ground one by one and examined them carefully. He found that the red iron worker ants, red iron flying ants and red iron soldier ants all dropped two treasure boxes, and the rest were red iron breeding ants.
Ants and Red Iron Ant King each drop a treasure chest.
"It's normal for red iron breeding ants to drop treasure chests. After all, the total number of red iron breeding ants in the two pools is eighteen, but the red iron flying ants and red iron soldier ants are a bit strange. The total number of two prize pools is only fifty.
That's it...then it seems like I'm really lucky this time."
Apart from being lucky, Zhang Yanhang could not think of any other reason. After all, he did not interfere in any way with the prize pool throughout the whole process.
"I originally thought it would be dropped when I come to clean the monster lair next time, but I didn't expect it to be dropped in advance. It's a good thing, so I can start the Makarov suit right away.
Integrated.”
Zhang Yanhang is really looking forward to the changes that will occur when the Makarov suit is upgraded from dark purple quality to light gold quality, and it has been a long time coming. He has been looking forward to it for more than a week.
"Although I'm really looking forward to it, I still can't open the treasure chest now. I'd better wait until I return to the main world before opening this dropped treasure chest."
Zhang Yanhang glanced at the time on his watch. It was already eleven fifty-five. There were only five minutes left. Obviously, there was not enough time to open the three-digit treasure chest that Zhang Yanhang had. It was better to wait until he returned to the main world.
It would be better to have the meeting together again. Anyway, it's just an extra five minutes of waiting.
Zhang Yanhang didn't have anything else to solve in these five minutes, so he simply lay down on the ground. This could help him recover a little bit of his physical strength. Although it was just a hunt for a small red iron ant nest, it was re-refreshed in Daragu.
The red iron worker ants still consumed Zhang Yanhang a lot of energy.
After all, during this hunting process, Zhang Yanhang not only had to maintain the ability to scan for good luck and avoid evil at all times, but also often used the death wave skill to kill red iron worker ants through walls. Basically, it was not much different from a formal hunting.
Therefore, it might be a strange thing for Zhang Yanhang, who had been cleaning up for nearly seven and a half hours to kill 3,000 hematite worker ants in the small hematite ant nest Daragu, if his physical strength was not too much.
Moreover, Zhang Yanhang also used this hunting to roughly calculate the physical consumption of pursuing good luck and avoiding evil after being promoted to the original LV.6. Although it is still within the category of "a small amount of physical consumption", compared with before
But it almost doubled the physical exertion.
Although doubling the physical consumption seems like a lot, it is basically a very good result. After all, Zhang Yanhang thought that the consumption would be doubled at least, and if it was more, it would be
The consumption may increase five times or even more.
Therefore, from this aspect, it is indeed very good to only increase the physical consumption by two times. It belongs to the former. At least it is within an acceptable range for Zhang Yanhang and will not significantly reduce his battery life.
However, after upgrading to LV.MAX, the result was exactly the latter. At that time, the skill consumption of seeking good luck and avoiding disaster increased several times in one breath, which caused Zhang Yanhang's battery life to be greatly reduced, and correspondingly
As a result, Zhang Yanhang's hunting process became much more difficult.
Moreover, this time, apart from the relatively small increase in the consumption of seeking good luck and avoiding evil skills, which is considered relatively lucky, what is even more fortunate is that Zhang Yanhang's physical strength increased by almost 40% when he was in the main world by consuming a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
upper limit.
Therefore, although the skill consumption of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil has been doubled compared to before, it is offset by the higher upper limit of physical strength, and accordingly, his actual battery life has not been reduced but has been greatly increased.
According to Zhang Yanhang's estimation results from hunting monsters for a long time, he could work continuously for about nine hours originally, but now, he can work continuously for more than ten hours, and even eleven hours is not impossible.
In other words, although he has been working continuously for seven and a half hours now, he is far from reaching his limit. There should be no problem if he works for at least two or three more hours. As for after that, it will definitely be
It's time to take a break.
After all, hunting consumes a lot of physical energy. It is impossible to work casually for four days and four nights without rest like digging a tunnel. If Zhang Yanhang dares to do that while hunting, then he will be the only one in the future.
The result is probably death from exhaustion.
The five minutes passed by in an instant. Zhang Yanhang felt as if he had just laid down, and a familiar text option box immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
【Do you want to return to the main world? 】
[Option 1: Yes (The last time you came to the small hematite ant nest Daragu, you improved and re-formulated a new hematite ant nest cleaning plan after rigorous exploration, although you encountered some changes along the way.
, but you finally implemented your plan thoroughly and cleared out the entire small red iron ant nest Daragu.
This is the third time you have entered the small hematite ant nest Daragu. You originally wanted to continue digging underground tunnels to find new monster nests, but you found that the hematite worker ants in the small hematite ant nest Daragu were refreshed.
There are a lot of them, which makes you a little excited, so you spend the time digging tunnels cleaning up the hematite worker ants.
But what you didn't expect was that it took a long time to clean up the newly refreshed hematite worker ants in the small hematite ant nest Daragu. It wasn't until the transmission channel was about to close that it was completely cleared. After cleaning up the hematite worker ants, I felt a little tired.
You feel that you should probably go home and take a rest first to recover and regain your strength.)]
[Option 2: Go home (Originally, you thought that your main job this time when you entered the small hematite ant nest Daragu was to excavate the last three kilometers of hematite raw stone layer in the underground passage, but you didn’t expect that the plan could not keep up with the change. Before you officially
When you start to carry out the excavation work, you will find that tunnel excavation suddenly seems to be of no use to you.
After giving up the excavation work, you chose to return directly to the main world after cleaning up all the hematite worker ants that spawned in the small hematite ant nest Daragu. After returning to the main world, you found the stray cat den on the edge of the community.
The cat-faced old lady has mysteriously disappeared, and was replaced by a cat's-eye gem that can increase the upper limit of physical strength.)]
[Option 3: No (After spending seven and a half hours clearing out the red iron ants in the entire small red iron ant nest Daragu, you are still relatively strong after learning that the transmission channel is about to close.
If you choose to ignore it, you think you may be able to go directly to the monster lair at the bottom of the underground tunnel for a new hunting activity.
But although your physical strength is indeed still relatively abundant, out of caution, you still lay on the ground and slept for eight hours. After your physical strength was fully restored, you went to the underground tunnel and used any door to enter the new monster.
Lair, when faced with a new monster lair, you are not reckless, but decide as always to explore it first before making a decision.)]
"How can I say the first option? It's relatively common, but although it's relatively common, it's also very useful. After all, I really want to return to the main world as soon as possible."
If you want to ask why Zhang Yanhang wants to return to the main world as soon as possible, it is naturally because he is in a hurry to go back and open the treasure chest. He obviously has a lot of treasure chests in his hand but cannot open them due to time issues. This is indeed quite uncomfortable.
