Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

The camel has a strong body and strong survivability.

If it could be tamed into a beast of burden, it would be most suitable for transporting heavy objects in the wilderness.

Almost every caravan will keep a group of camels in captivity.

For Lu Meng, if there is a beast of burden, he can carry more survival supplies when leaving the hub in the future, and it can also assist in combat or serve as a reserve ration in the event of an emergency.

The success rate will be greatly improved.

However, the current plan to domesticate beasts of burden can only be thought of in dreams.

Not to mention that Lu Meng has no experience or skills in domesticating beasts of burden. Camels eat a lot of food and are omnivores. It is extremely difficult for individuals to domesticate beasts of burden. Generally, only merchant caravans will hire special personnel to take charge of this task. care and management.

What's more, he has not yet completed the accumulation of strength, coins, or necessary survival materials at this time. Leaving the hub rashly is tantamount to courting death. Now, even if a domesticated beast of burden comes to worship him, it is just one more thing. A big mouth grabbing for food.

So we had to treat this wild camel as prey.

Moreover, Lu Meng's actual combat level has reached 19 due to his last attack on Zou Huang, and he is at the critical point of becoming a "warrior".

The accumulation of physical fitness is enough to support him to become a warrior.

Actual combat, actual combat, after all, we still have to fight.

It’s okay to fight with people, and of course it’s also possible to fight with a wild camel weighing several hundred kilograms.

In fantasy terms, this is the “opportunity” for breakthrough.

– he thought with interest.

If he could improve his own strength and reach level 20, the benefits would be even more long-term for Lu Meng, so he didn't feel it was a pity.

A heat wave rolled over, and yellow gravel was wrapped in the wind and rubbed against people's skin.

The mask could cover Lu Meng's mouth and nose, but after all, his eyes were still exposed.

He squinted his eyes, wiped away the sand on his eyelashes, and looked down at the traces on the ground through the brim of his hat.

Then he twisted up a handful of caked sand.

A dark red.

It's the blood of Camel.

During an encounter, Lu Meng shot the last poisonous arrow coated with anticoagulant.

It has been three months since he turned on the medical module, and anticoagulants will oxidize after being opened.

Just like opening a can of Coca-Cola and leaving it overnight, it doesn't mean you can't drink it.

Just lost the soul.

This last portion was used on this camel just before it expired.

With the size of a pack animal, it is obviously more resistant than a human being. The camel ran wildly after being hit by the arrow, and Lu Meng could not catch up for a while.

But since primitive times, humans have been the top hunters, relying not on cheetah-like speed, but on extreme tracking and endurance.

After following the blood trail for several kilometers, he discovered Jiatu's figure.

This is a sturdy creature with hump-like protrusions on its back, which also stores a huge amount of nutrients and fat. It stands on all fours, and unlike ungulates, its soles are unusually wide and stretched out. The sharp claws are not only suitable for boating in the desert, but also smooth on rugged terrain; the ears like cattail fans are drooped and flapping listlessly.

A crossbow arrow was stuck in its neck. It was blocked by the tough leather armor and could barely sink into the arrow. A thin stream of blood flowed out from the wound along with its breathing.

Logically speaking, the endurance of the camel was enough to cross the desert, but now he had to stop and rest due to blood loss.

Lu Meng put away the crossbow and held the knife in both hands.

Facing Jiatu, ordinary crossbow arrows are completely meaningless.

Jiatuo also discovered him. Facing this formidable enemy, it seemed to know that if it dragged on any longer, it would surely die of exhaustion.

It's not like it has never seen its companions captured by humans.

But this hunter actually dared to make his own plans when he was alone.

The beast hissed and rushed straight towards Lu Meng.

Lu Meng, like a matador, dodged sideways, and the long knife made a long bloody gash on Jiatu's side.

Jiatuo screamed, but his blood was aroused. He stopped his forward inertia and turned around to rush towards him.

At such a close distance, Lu Meng really had no room to dodge. He just held the knife with both hands and was pushed away.

He stood up quickly, his whole body seemed to fall apart.

Of course, "falling apart" is just an illusion. After strengthening his physical fitness, the connections in his body have become extremely strong.

It's just that it's not possible to compete head-on with a beast like Jiatu.

While Lu Meng was getting up, Jiatuo had already caught up to him, opening his mouth wide and about to bite him.

Camels are omnivores.

Once bitten, there will inevitably be fractures, and even a large piece of flesh torn off will be light. That is to say, with the protection of leather clothes, the limbs will not be broken.

The medical skills that Lu Meng had idled for a long time would come into use.

He did not dodge, but directly opened his arms and took the opportunity to hug the camel's head, and with a strong force, he closed its jaws tightly.

The force of an animal's mouth opening is generally much smaller than its bite force. If a crocodile is pinched by an adult, it may not be able to open its mouth.

Jia Tuo struggled hard, but Lu Meng took advantage of the force of the jia tuo's shaking head to turn over and sit on it.

Then he held the long knife upside down with both hands and stabbed Jia Hunchback hard on the back.

I have to say that adding a camel is indeed a good choice for beasts of burden.

It's quite comfortable to ride on its back.

…

Jiatuo's blood was relatively thick, and it took Lu Meng a lot of energy to deal with the dying trapped beast.

In the end, a layer of skin was even rubbed off his waist by its counterattack before it died.

But fortunately, Lu Meng has upgraded.

[Name: Lu Beiyou (Lu Meng)

Race: Human (Scorched Earth Sons)

Basic attributes: Strength 16, Speed ​​7, Toughness 7, Constitution 12, Perception 15

Actual combat level: 20 (warrior)

Permissions: D

Effective module: experience bonus (3 times)]

After the "basic attribute" representing physical fitness reaches an average of 10 points, the breakthrough in actual combat level will be a matter of course.

Although the realm breakthrough in "Swordsman" is also a quantitative change that leads to a qualitative change, there will be no strange phenomena in the world.

Although it was only a level 1 improvement, Lu Meng felt that his past practical experience was integrated at this moment, forming a theoretical system that belongs only to him.

Although there are still many shortcomings and flaws, at least it no longer relies solely on physical instinct to conduct every battle.

Regardless of his physical condition, he can now ensure that the lower limit of his combat effectiveness exceeds the upper limit of temporary performance in the past.

When you officially enter the ranks of "martial artists", you will have the seeds of martial arts to continue to grow in the future, and you will not just be a layman who competes for strength and ruthlessness.

In the past, Song Chai was actually in this state, even though he died in a very aggrieved manner.

But that was because he met Lu Meng.

Taking Song Chai as a comparison also shows that Lu Meng is now qualified to establish his own power.

Although it is impossible to have the scale of the Wugen Gang - the Wugen Gang really relies on the support of city supervisors like He Falcon. Now with the development of He Falcon, Song Chai would definitely not be the strongest among them even if he were alive.

Of course, if Song Chai were alive, I don’t know if He Falcon would have invested so much.

But if Lu Meng just established a small gang and then controlled a certain neighborhood in the hub, that could be done.

Even if he doesn't establish power, as long as he exposes his strength, a larger power will invite him into the small circle of hub station rulers.

Lu Meng was not interested.

From his perspective, even the entire hub station is just like that, with shallow water and too many idiots.

Warriors are just the starting point of the entire power system.

Most importantly, he didn't like it.

He took out the dagger he had previously seized from Zou Huang, which was the only valuable trophy he got that day.

It seems that the life of the gang members is not very good, otherwise they would be attracted by just a few dried meats, which would almost delay the real mission.

This dagger is forged from fine steel and is extremely sharp.

In terms of grade, it is the same as my Huanshou Dao, which is the second level of [White].

It's just that after all, it uses less materials and its value is naturally far less.

But when used as a substitute for a bone knife, it is just right for dissection and shaving meat.

However, Lu Meng, who took out the dagger, did not start working immediately.

In fact, he had discovered it a long time ago.

While I was hunting camels, there was a "companion" who had been hiding in the dark.
