Mechanical Flesh

Early the next morning, Qi Yuan received the modified Death Harvest from Hong Cang, and found that it was nearly half heavier than before. Fortunately, he had a level of steel power, and he could control such a sniper rifle that weighed nearly one hundred catties. It's not too strenuous.

"Are you planning to leave Blackstone Town?" Hong Cang asked suddenly.

Qi Yuan nodded, and didn't choose to hide it. A fourth-order evolutionary stood in front of him, still feeling a silent sense of oppression.

"Where are you going?"

Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment, he suddenly felt a vague danger, as if this simple question was a proposition.

"I'm going to take a look at the gathering points around the Black Steel Shelter."

After finishing speaking, the feeling of danger disappeared in an instant, and Qi Yuan, who didn't know that he was walking around the edge of death, almost thought that it was just his own illusion.

"Be careful on the road. If you advance to the third level, you can try to apply to enter the Black Steel Shelter." Hong Cang let out a smile.

"Thank you! If I have the opportunity, I will apply."

Qi Yuan rode on the iron wolf, and quickly went away under Hong Cang's gaze. Only when he saw Qi Yuan disappearing from sight, Hong Cang turned around silently, ready to leave.

"You actually wanted to kill a Tier 1 Wilderness Hunter just now!"

Su Li appeared at the gate at some point, and looked at Hong Cang playfully.

"This is not like your character. Could it be that after Qi Yuan met Tan Qiu yesterday, what indescribable story happened between them, so you are jealous?"

Hong Cang's breath was stagnant, he looked at Su Li expressionlessly, and said:

"Don't forget, in order to modify that robot, you have already sold the next ten years to Tan Qiu!"

"So what!" Su Li whistled nonchalantly.

"Tan Qiu is pretty good looking. If you want breasts and buttocks, I won't be at a disadvantage if you sell him for ten years! My kidneys can handle it!"

Hong Cang resisted the urge to punch Su Li and took a deep breath.

"I'll pass your words on to Tan Qiu!"

After finishing speaking, Hong Cang turned around and left. If he didn't leave again, he was afraid that he would start a war and destroy Heishi Town in a big battle.

Su Li's face froze, and he shouted loudly at his back: "Why did you sue! You still don't talk about martial arts!"

Master Luo and Situ stood side by side by the window, squinting their eyes in the direction where Qi Yuan disappeared.

"If I say that one day Qi Yuan will become a fourth-order evolutionary, do you believe it?"

"Third level is possible, fourth level—" Situ paused, and continued: "It's as difficult as reaching the sky!"

Master Luo touched the sparse beard on his chin, and said pointedly: "You have stayed in Heishi Town for too long, and the sky in your eyes has become lower and lower!"

Situ fell silent when he heard this, and then sighed.

"Yeah, once my goal was to become the leader of a shelter. I didn't expect that after so many years, I didn't even go out of Heishi Town, and the third level became the sky above my head!"

In the wilderness, Qi Yuan drove the modified Iron Wolf and galloped towards the direction of the Black Steel Shelter, raising a cloud of flying dust like an earth dragon running.

Occasionally, wandering wilderness hunters were attracted by the roar of the engine. After the death harvest behind Qi Yuan, they all chose to retreat silently.

Both motorcycles and Death Harvest are symbols of strength. It is impossible for the weak to own these things. It is too risky to rashly attack an existence that owns both motorcycles and Death Harvest.

However, the worms in the wilderness were not as smart as the wilderness hunters. Of the two second-order worms trying to sneak attack, one was pierced through the body by Qi Yuan's blind sniper shot, and the head was blown off the other by the butcher's shot.

For ordinary second-order insect beasts, Qi Yuan can kill them instantly.

The new sign-in area has been refreshed,

Basically, they are all in the direction of the Blacksteel Shelter, but they are farther apart than the three in Blackstone Town.

Before arriving at the gathering point, Qi Yuan sensed the location of a check-in point on the way. Compared with the other check-in points close to the gathering place, the farthest check-in point seemed wild.

Qi Yuan drove the iron wolf and stopped at the edge of a swamp covered with black thorns.

The dark swamp and black thorns, together with the faint smell of rancidity, made the surrounding environment look oppressive and dull.

"The check-in point is located in the middle of the swamp, or is it under the ground. What kind of weird check-in point is this?"

Looking at the swamp that was constantly bubbling, Qi Yuan couldn't help complaining, if it wasn't marked on the map that this was a swamp, he would have almost driven Iron Wolf into it.

Although extraordinary abilities are powerful, they are not omnipotent. At least when facing this huge swamp, Qi Yuan has no good solution.

Qi Yuan picked up a stone casually and threw it hard.

With the blessing of a first-order steel power, a head-sized stone was easily thrown tens of meters into the swamp.

Gollum! Gollum!

A cloud of foul mud splashed in the middle of the swamp, and stones bubbled and sank into the swamp.

"I don't know how many insects and beasts are hidden inside!"

Qi Yuan frowned slightly, the swamp in front of him was not all sticky mud, there were also some hard ground inside, like small islands dotted in the middle of the swamp.

In the swamp, in addition to black thorns, there are also some twisted trees that grow with twists and turns, marking a rough path that can barely be stepped on and penetrated deep into it.

"If you want to go deep into the swamp, you have to find a guide who is familiar with the terrain here." Qi Yuan thought silently.

Suddenly, Qi Yuan found a piece of dead wood covered in mud floating slowly in the swamp not far in front of him, slowly leaning towards him.

"Crocodile!"

Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the dead wood that was slowly approaching and trying to sneak attack. It was a crocodile living in the swamp.

"The small part of the body exposed to the water is nearly one meter long. The crocodile here is not small!"

Qi Yuan commented casually, and then took out the butcher on his waist. The bullets of Death Harvest are limited and cannot be wasted at will. Before leaving, Master Luo gave a lot of butcher's bullets.

The butcher's ferocious muzzle pointed at the camouflaged crocodile, and just as it approached and prepared to attack suddenly, Qi Yuan directly pulled the trigger of the butcher.

boom!

The butcher's unique gunshot resounded through the swamp in an instant, and a gray-glowed bullet shot out from the muzzle of the crocodile, hitting the head of the crocodile when it emerged from the water, piercing through the protection of the leather armor, and sinking deeply into it in the body.

Although the swamp crocodile has a second-tier defense and hard leather armor, it still paid the price for its recklessness in the face of the attacks of the butcher and the annihilation warhead.

The bullet blasted a bowl-sized hole in the crocodile's leather armor, and bright red blood gushed out. Qi Yuan even saw the bullet deeply embedded in the hard skull of the swamp crocodile.

Crash!

The painful swamp crocodile rolled violently, realizing that the food in front of it was very dangerous, and hurriedly dived into the mud.

The attack from Qi Yuan's annihilation warhead severely injured the swamp crocodile with one shot.

"It didn't kill him with a single shot."

Looking at the rolling swamp, Qi Yuan frowned slightly, not very satisfied with the result of this shot.

"At least the second-level enhanced defense, plus the swamp crocodile's thick leather armor, is almost equivalent to an additional defensive ability, but the butcher's use of annihilation bullets is indeed not interesting. If it is used with armor-piercing bullets, it should be able to be shot. kill."

"Well, if you don't use armor-piercing bullets and use Death Harvest, you should be able to kill them with one shot! I just don't know how many swamp crocodiles are hidden in it, or you can find a way to go to the check-in point in the middle of the swamp to check."

The surge of the swamp crocodile being injured and leaving has not completely subsided. There is a new movement from the depths of the swamp. More swamp crocodiles popped up. Most of their bodies were hidden in the swamp, revealing a pair of brown eyes. , staring at Qi Yuan standing on the shore, and slowly leaned over.

Qi Yuanshi took a cursory glance and found the traces of nearly ten swamp crocodiles.

"There are so many swamp crocodiles, this check-in point is half cold!"

Qi Yuan shook his head. If there were only two or three swamp crocodiles, he could still think of a way, but the current number has exceeded the limit he can handle, and entering the swamp rashly will only become food for the swamp crocodiles.

"Go to other check-in points to try it out first, and then come to this check-in point to open up wasteland after you have mastered a few abilities!"

Qi Yuan glanced at the dozen or so swamp crocodiles that were slowly approaching, and stepped back a certain distance.

For Qi Yuan, the most dangerous part of the swamp crocodile is not its strong defense and death bite, but the home of their life, the swamp that can completely swallow people is the reason why they have to stop.

Otherwise, no matter how many swamp crocodiles there are, as long as they dare to climb up, the death harvest will be shot one by one.

After Qi Yuan backed away for a certain distance, the swamp crocodiles in the swamp suddenly rolled over, as if a group of swamp crocodiles were fighting each other.

Soon, blood gushed out from the depths of the mud, and the severely injured swamp crocodile was dragged out of the depths of the mud by its companions, and then shared and ate them.

The injured companions became food in an instant, and the ferocity of the swamp crocodile can be seen.

Qi Yuan silently glanced at the slowly calming marsh, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he began to understand one thing.

To deal with these swamp crocodiles, there is no need to kill them at all, as long as they are injured, other swamp crocodiles will follow the smell of blood and come to eat!

If this group of swamp crocodiles were really so ferocious, it would be much easier to deal with them!

Just as Qi Yuan was thinking about how to deal with this group of swamp crocodiles, the roar of the engine came from a distance, and it got closer and closer.

"Someone is coming! More than one!"

Qi Yuan's face changed slightly, and he quickly took the Death Harvest in his hand.

In the wilderness, every wilderness hunter is a hunter as well as a prey!

Four speeding motorcycles quickly appeared within the field of vision, quickly approaching the direction of the swamp.

Qi Yuan pointed Death Harvest's muzzle at 45 degrees to the ground. This is a common gesture used by wilderness hunters to greet each other. It can tell the opponent that he has no malicious intentions. If the opponent takes the initiative to attack, he can immediately raise the muzzle to fight back.

Perhaps because they found Qi Yuan's trace, the four motorcycles stopped 200 meters away from Qi Yuan.

The people who came did not attack rashly, and after one of them waved his hand to signal that he was not malicious, the two walked towards Qi Yuan on foot.

One of the two people who came over was unarmed and did not carry any weapon. The arm of the other person looked extremely thick from a distance, but when they walked in, they found that it was a black metal mechanical arm.

The two stopped at a distance of about three meters from Qi Yuan, just on the verge of a melee attack.

The unarmed man maintained a gentle smile.

"We are all hunters of steel chariots. I am Nie Xiu and he is Jia Tao. I don't know what to call my brothers."

"Qi Yuan."

"It turned out to be Brother Qi Yuan. He looks a bit unfamiliar. He must have come from another gathering point."

Nie Xiu said with a smile: "Brother Qi, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. Because it is close to the Black Steel Shelter and has the stronghold of the Hunter's Guild, many wilderness hunters come from other places every day, and we are the same. But a few years earlier than you."

Hunter Guild!

Qi Yuan heard the name of this faction from other wilderness hunters for the second time.

The attitudes of many big forces towards wild hunters are not friendly. This can be seen from the threshold set by the Black Steel Shelter. The inside and outside of the shelter are completely two different worlds. It seems that only the Hunter Guild will not care about birth , opens the door to the Revenant.

Nie Xiu glanced at the back seat of Qi Yuan's motorcycle. Qi Yuan cut off the entire head of the second-order insect beast that was sniped by Death Harvest, and tied it to the rear of the car with a rope at will. The dripping blood has not completely dried up. .

With Nie Xiu's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that this was a Tier 2 worm that had just died.

The smile on Nie Xiu's face became brighter. Wilderness hunters who dare to cross the wilderness alone and approach the Black Steel Shelter all have good strength, otherwise it would be impossible to get here alive.

"The few of us joined forces to take on a mission to clear the swamp. I don't know if Brother Qi is interested in joining us. The reward for this mission is 40,000 yuan. After completing the mission, the few of us can share the remaining reward evenly after excluding the mission consumption."

"no problem!"

Qi Yuan unexpectedly agreed, and Jia Tao who was at the side suddenly looked down, and directly rejected Nie Xiu's proposal.

"No, the total reward for this mission is only 40,000 yuan. After excluding the cost of purchasing potions and combat losses, even if we can complete the mission, each of us will not exceed 5,000 yuan at most. I don't agree to continue to increase the number of people!"

Nie Xiu frowned slightly, seemed a little displeased, and persuaded:

"One more person won't pay much, and the terrain of the swamp is complicated. Brother Qi's joining can reduce a lot of risks!"

"No, I definitely don't agree with strangers joining the team. The four of us teamed up are enough to clear this swamp. One more stranger will only increase the danger."

Qi Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the two people who were in the quarrel. He didn't relax his vigilance because of this. The Death Harvest was already on the ground, but his right hand was always near the butcher.

If it wasn't for the existence of the check-in point, he would have already rejected this strange invitation.

After the four of them arrived, Qi Yuan was keenly aware that a strange change had taken place at this check-in point. If he chose to leave and come back after the other party finished paying, this check-in point might disappear.

This is a hidden warning, a bit like the ability of the mysterious domain, although it is very vague, but Qi Yuan has sensed the existence of this information.

It's like a warning from the talent tree to yourself. Every check-in is a trial. The goal of the test is either strength or wisdom. If you want to avoid difficulties and enjoy the rewards, it will only make the check-in point disappear.

Nie Xiu and Jia Tao argued for a long time, and finally persuaded Jia Tao reluctantly, but Jia Tao still looked at Qi Yuan with hostility.

"I'm sorry, my brother is a bit sensitive, and I made you laugh." Nie Xiu said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's understandable!" Qi Yuan smiled, expressing that he wouldn't take it to heart.

Nie Xiu nodded and waved to the two people waiting in the distance to come over.

After the two approached, Nie Xiu gave a brief introduction, and Qi Yuan discovered that both of them were second-order transcendents. One was named Sun Ye and had the same weapon as himself, a large-caliber revolver. The other was nicknamed Snake Ghost. There are faint blue scales on his face, and his eyes are not like ordinary people, but like vertical pupils of snakes.

The four of them were originally hunters at the steel chariot gathering point, and they had all registered with the Hunters Guild, but they were not a fixed team of hunters. They were just improvised to take over the task of clearing the swamp.
