According to Zhen Jin's plan, the exploration team will rest for two days.
The construction of this camp took a lot of effort, and it would be too wasteful not to make good use of it. The surrounding area was cleared again, and the flying rats were hunted. The only threat was gone, so it was very safe.
The body of flying rat needs further treatment.
The archery of the members of the exploration team should also continue to practice hard.
In addition, previous hunting consumed a lot of arrows and a small amount of short bows, which need to be supplemented.
The great success of hunting has greatly improved the situation of the entire exploration team.
Now, needle gold has enough time to build better long-range weapons.
However, after comprehensive consideration, Zhijin gave up the idea rationally.
The next day.
Cang Xu saw needle gold in his face: "Lord needle gold, I have good news. I have made a new discovery."
"Oh?" Needle gold knew that Cang Xu was studying the body of the black iron headed rat, "did you find the magic crystal in the head rat?"
Cang Xu smiled and shook his head, "this black iron headed mouse doesn't have magic crystals, and the magic in its body is also confused. Soon after death, the magic dissipated."
Needle gold muttered in his heart, "black iron headed mice don't have magic crystals, but I have a pretty similar one in my body."
Cang Xu didn't show off, and said frankly, "yes, sir. I cut the stomach of the black iron headed rat and found that it had just had a full meal before it died. Therefore, there are still many foods in the stomach that haven't been digested, including meat, bones, bird feathers, tree fruits, grass leaves, etc. among them, I also found a sweet potato."
Zhen Jin's eyes flashed slightly: "it seems that this kind of flying rat is omnivorous. We can try to dig this kind of sweet potato."
Cang Xu nodded, "my Lord, it's not just sweet potatoes. I speculate that there may be a lot of food stored in the nest of flying rats."
"Why is there such a judgment?" Asked the needle.
"Through previous dissection and recent research on these rat carcasses, I found that their digestive ability is very strong, and their gastric juice can even slightly corrode the sword. Generally speaking, when these creatures with strong digestive ability are hungry, their gastric acid secretion will make them very difficult to endure. In order to resist this hunger, they will swallow some temporarily indigestible things, such as stones, etc. but these flying rats have no stomach." These similar things. This shows that they have plenty of food. "
"We have basically explored the surrounding conditions. I think these flying rats are not only omnivorous, but also have the food storage characteristics of creatures such as squirrels. Usually, they explore around and collect food. When they are hungry, they can eat quickly to prevent the whole population from being driven crazy by hunger."
"Very good." Needle gold patted cangxu on the shoulder to express his appreciation, "I will leave this matter to cyanobacteria."
"Sir, please allow me to follow. I am very interested in the specific structure of the flying rat nest." Cang Xu made a small request in time.
"Yes." Needle gold promised without any hesitation.
Although more manpower is needed to protect this old scholar, he has been helped by old scholars since he came into contact with Cang Xu. As the situation permits, Zhijin doesn't mind satisfying the old scholar's thirst for knowledge.
Cang Xu returned to the camp with a satisfied face.
Their harvest also gave needle gold a surprise.
As Cang Xu speculated, the flying rat's nest was indeed a reserve of food.
Moreover, food reserves are large. So that when the exploration team members copied their homes, many people were sighing: these flying mice are better off than people!
Although most of the food, people can't eat it. However, the amount of sweet potatoes, trees and fruits among them is equivalent to one-third of flying mouse meat, which is a great supplement to the food of the exploration team.
Zidi also made new achievements.
Using the stomach juice of flying rats, Zidi made several corrosive acids. After being contaminated with this medicine, the iron sword can be beyond recognition in a few breaths. As long as there is enough medicine, the soil will be corroded into a big hole in just a few breaths.
If combined with atomizing agent, strong corrosive acid mist can be produced. Ordinary people only need to breathe for a moment when they are in it, and their lungs will die.
Although hunting flying rats was a great success, it consumed the only combustion supporting potion left in ziti's hand.
This corrosive agent became a supplement, adding a means of fighting the enemy to the exploration team.
Of course, neither the fire burning potion before nor the corrosive acid potion now belongs to magic potion, but uses, purifies and strengthens the original physical properties of the material.
The effect of magic potion is more remarkable. But in this island mountain, low-level magic drugs are ineffective.
There was no progress in needle gold.
He can only temporarily give up the original idea and change another direction.
He began to think: How did the mysterious crystal nucleus in the heart come into being?
"Is it a potion?" This is the most likely answer for Zhen Jin.
Otherwise, why are these two mutations related to monkey tailed brown bears?
As night fell, Zhen Jin also called Zi Di and asked about the situation again.
Zidi's answer didn't make the needle gold have a new harvest.
Zhen Jin fell into a deep meditation: "if Zidi had an accident when she treated me and formed this crystal nucleus, then I may also touch the crystal nucleus again when I take the medicine, resulting in a mutation."
"What happened? Or did adults think there was any hidden danger?" Zidi asked.
"Nothing, I just want to know." Zhen Jin smiled and comforted Zidi, "it's getting late. It's going to start tomorrow. Go back and have a good rest."
Zidi nodded, her eyes shining. "Lord Zhijin, with you, I believe we will be able to leave this island."
Zhen Jin nodded: "we should not only leave this island, but also try to gather people's hearts and minds, gather some people, and form a preliminary team. Otherwise, we will come to Baisha City, only you and me, and it is difficult to compete with the other two for the position of city master. Don't blame yourself, Zidi, in fact, you have done a good job this time."
Zidi was stunned and smiled bitterly. "Your eyes are really sharp, sir. To be honest, I hate the environment here. It's too unfriendly to magicians here. All I can help you is medicine. But now the conditions are too simple. If there are some alchemy artifacts, I believe I can configure the poison against flying rats in time."
Zhijin sighed, "that's the truth. We have been reduced to this strange island, surrounded by dangers. We are trying to survive, and anything can happen. We just need to do our best, and we can only do our best. Good night."
"Good night." Zidi left.
Zhen Jin still didn't tell Zidi the truth.
On the one hand, Zhen Jin doesn't want Zidi to bear more worries. She has blamed herself now. Although the time spent together was short, Zhen Jin found that there was a sense of pride in the heart of the purple eyed girl. For such a person, needle gold only needs comfort, not scolding and whipping. Because they don't need other external pressure, such people can work hard by themselves.
On the other hand, Zhijin also knows Zidi's strength in medicine. Even if he revealed the truth, Zidi was not able to solve the problem.
Since Zidi hid her first time, Zhen Jin didn't mind hiding her second time.
The mutation ability brought by the mysterious crystal nucleus, in the view of needle gold, is a kind of bottom card, which can let him deal with dangerous situations and strong enemies. But at the same time, it also has huge hidden dangers.
"Is this mutation harmful? How can the human heart have crystal nuclei? Will this foreign organ be mutually exclusive with other tissues of the body?"
"What kind of damage will a sudden change do to yourself? Is it physical disability or blood complexity?"
"I can't sense the crystal nucleus and the mutation is out of control. Is it because the crystal nucleus has just grown and hasn't completely fused with my body?"
"The number of changes has increased. Will it make me a beast and lose all human nature?"
It's not only about body and blood, but also about the whole exploration team.
Zhen Jin knew that he was able to lead these people. One is because I am strong enough, the other is because of my identity.
He is a noble, and more importantly, he is also a Templar.
The latter's identity is more exciting than the former.
If the change of needle gold is found and regarded as a monster, the advantage brought by this layer of identity will be greatly weakened.
Although it was a success in hunting rats, Zhen Jin knew that this success was just a rein in on the brink, pulling the exploration team back from the brink of extinction.
The next trip is bound to encounter difficulties and dangers.
It is hard to say whether the exploration team can cope with such hardships and tests.
Zhijin doesn't want this small team to float.
Therefore, he chose to keep this secret in his heart and curb the possibility of dissemination from the source.
The night in the forest is not calm.
We often hear the howling of wild animals, which are strange. Some are indeed howling, some are sobbing, and some are like a dry cough.
Needle gold knows that he should have a good rest. After all, he will leave early tomorrow morning.
But he lay on the mattress, but it was difficult to sleep for a time.
He simply summed up the thinking results of these days.
"At present, it seems that there are three possibilities to touch the body mutation. The first is the pressure on the verge of life and death, which triggers the instinctive response of the crystal nucleus in the heart. The second is the intense emotions I generate under great pressure. The third is the blood based medicine. The crystal nucleus in the heart is likely to be caused by the medicine. Although these two mutations have not absorbed foreign drugs, there may be residues in the body."
The needle gold sighed faintly.
Although he thought a lot, the current situation made him dare not easily try any possibility.
On the one hand, I have no security.
On the other hand, he shouldered the responsibility and could not easily take risks. He wants to lead the whole exploration team, protect his fiancee, and revitalize the hundred needle family.
He has many things to do.
"In addition, after the mutation, the crystal nucleus in my heart will consume a lot of magic. Afterwards, it will make me feel very empty and tired."
Full of thoughts, Zhen Jin fell asleep like this.
After sleeping, the teenager still frowned slightly, as if he was thinking hard in his dream.
I don't know how long it took. Suddenly, with a bang, the whole camp collapsed.
Needle gold woke up at the first time.
Although he slept in the camp, he still kept a vigilant heart, so he quickly reacted.
"How did the tent suddenly collapse? What happened?!" Needle gold lifted the spider's sharp blade placed on his side and waved it violently.
The sharp blade easily cut open the collapsed tent, allowing pin Jin to observe everything outside.
The next moment, he was shocked physically and mentally, and his face showed horror.
