monster battlefield

Chapter 215 Entering the Finals

Zhou Shu didn't expect that the first time he saw other candidates on Skull Island was in this state.

He hid behind the bushes and carefully watched the murder scene over there. From a distance, the water surface seemed to be boiling, but in fact, a large number of water bugs were rolling in it.

After tumbling for a while, the two candidates no longer struggled, and the tumbling movements of the bugs became less and less, and the water gradually calmed down.

At the same time, Zhou Shu looked at the standings, and sure enough, the numbers of two more candidates turned gray, and they were directly thrown to the bottom.

According to the ranking, no matter what the previous score is, once "death", the score will continue to be displayed, but it will no longer be included in the ranking, which is considered elimination.

It is equivalent to being on the battlefield, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how high your official position is, death is death.

At the same time, seeing that there was no movement on the water, the two people on the shore gave a high-five, confirming that they were the perpetrators.

Zhou Shu also saw their mouths opening and closing, but to ensure safety, he was too far away from them and couldn't hear what they were saying.

But they appeared here, not far from his territory, and there were still two wounded in the "family", if they ran into each other directly, that would be a big deal.

Moreover, his investigative skills failed here, and these two people didn't make any big moves, so he couldn't easily estimate the strength of these two people.

It's okay if the two of them are weaker than him here, but if they add up to beat him now, then it's not easy.

Just as he was thinking about it, a huge wave suddenly rose in the pool over there, and a huge mouth swallowed all the remaining bones and some insects into the end.

"Boom~"

After swallowing these things with a big mouth, it immediately fell to the surface of the water again, splashing a large amount of water.

The people on the shore were taken aback, and at the same time they found several huge monsters crawling up from the pool.

These monsters are huge lizard-like creatures with arrowhead-shaped heads. Their huge mouths are full of small fangs. They have a pair of small dark eyes and stubby legs.

They didn't know these monsters, but Zhou Shu who was hiding next to them knew them.

These monsters are the gluttonous salamander, a large predatory amphibian that looks like a salamander on Skull Island.

The "remaining old man" of the Permian, the Taotie Zeju newt, is a fat, stocky quadruped.

As a typical amphibian, gluttonous newts not only like water, but also rarely leave the water, unless the area where they are located is so scarce that there is no food that can be eaten with their faces open for a period of time, or the waterway they inhabit is affected by drought. Gradually drying up may force the gluttonous Zeju newt to move to other places.

Once out of water and areas with water, the gluttonous newt will become weak, and its action efficiency is extremely slow. Although it has short-distance explosive power, its stubby limbs and "fat" body cannot make them look like dinosaurs. Just as fast as flying.

Like most amphibians, the gluttonous newt is an oviparous organism, and its eggs and eggs are generally laid on the river bed of a stream or a small tributary.

The larvae hatch in their first tadpole form and swim about, feeding on various carrion, maggots, aquatic insects, and worms.

And when the gluttonous newts are fully grown, their appetites are much better than those of juveniles. Various aquatic birds, fish, small turtles, large frogs, and immature dinosaurs, etc., as long as they are It can be digested, and there is nothing that an adult gluttonous Zejuxolot can't swallow.

Muddy swamps and ponds with silted vegetation are the favorite places of the gluttonous newt. The abundant water source and a considerable number of various plants in the waterway can provide a good "concealment" for the gluttonous newt.

Gluttonous newts are good at ambush and sneak attacking their prey, but sometimes they will lie down in the thick sediment of the river bed and use their claws and claws to pull them all the way forward. No matter what they can catch by doing this, as long as they can satisfy them The upper and lower jaws are filled with things.

When it can't hold it anymore, the gluttonous Zeju newt will come to the river bed and use water pressure to sieve other indigestible impurities out of the mouth. In the process of drowning the prey, it will start They chewed slowly with their sharp teeth.

So although they are amphibians, their actual niche on Skull Island is actually very similar to crocodiles.

The two candidates saw several such monsters climbing up, they didn't attack rashly, but started to retreat instead.

While these monsters look sluggish, those mouthfuls of fangs aren't fake, they're definitely predators.

It's been a while since they landed on the island. The island is full of monsters, full of dangers, and the careless examinees have long since died.

"Leave here first, anyway, we have entered two more, don't be greedy."

"Well, these monsters look silly, but who knows if there will be a sudden attack, we have suffered before."

"Stand back slowly, I'll look at them, you pay attention behind you."

"I know, I'll look behind you, don't worry..."

"Sa~swipe~"

"what sound?"

"No, we're surrounded!"

Seeing several dinosaurs rushing out of the forest next to the two, Zhou Shu almost jumped up happily.

Good guy, wonderful, really wonderful!

Although I don't know what number they are, there are only about fifty people left on the points list, and they must be two of them.

Up to now, according to the battle royale mode, the poison circle has shrunk a lot. Although there is no visual thing, Zhou Shu obviously feels that he has been walking towards the center of the island.

He didn't feel that his thoughts were being controlled, and the possible route was indeed like this. Of course, there were other factors, such as being chased by a "tide of beasts" and he had to run in the opposite direction.

Even if it wasn't a beast wave and a swarm of hand-sized mosquitoes were chasing him, he would still have to find a place to hide.

With this action, his route will be uncertain, and the entire virtual world is controlled by the assessment system. When he runs in the forest, it is easy for him to be misled by the assessment system, making him think he is running south, but in reality he is running. ran to the north.

So this shrinking circle, the closer the distance between the candidates, not only will they fight, but the refresh rate of other monsters will also be faster, the number will be larger, and the combat effectiveness will be stronger.

Zhou Shu also knew these dinosaurs rushing out of the forest. He had seen them before when he was doing his homework.

They are Ceratosaurus-Skull Island subspecies, which belong to theropod dinosaurs. Although they are not big, only more than three meters long and less than a person's height, they are quite ferocious.

Their abdomens are tawny, their backs are green "armor", and there are crocodile-like protrusions that extend from the head to the tail.

And speaking of protrusions, their "brow arches" are also unusually raised, almost like two small horns.

And above their nasal cavity, there is a long horn like a rhinoceros, but its long horn is "flattened", so it looks a bit like a shark fin, and this is probably why they are called Ceratosaurus.

They only lived in North America, Africa, and Western Europe during the Late Jurassic, but they appeared in the southeastern corner of the Asian continent.

Like the Jurassic era, even if the living environment became Skull Island, apart from the hard armor and bone spurs derived from their bodies to resist huge blood-sucking insects, these ceratopsians did not have many other life changes.

Many scholars believe that the Ceratosaurus population on Skull Island is similar to the ecological niche of the intelligent and fierce hunting dragon, and like the hyenas in Africa today, they will "risk being eaten" to sneak into the territory of the ruined king dragon to steal.

At the same time, given the "extremely opportunistic atmosphere" created by the extremely fierce competitive environment on Skull Island, the ceratosaurus here will also snatch food from other predators that are weaker than it.

However, in such an environment, it is common for vegetarian animals to be left alone by the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. Therefore, the Ceratosaurus on Skull Island are not without a chance to get a piece of the subsistence pie.

The Ceratosaurus of Skull Island likes to eat its prey alive, which makes any vegetarian animal that is unfortunate enough to fall into their sharp-toothed mouth miserable.

However, the screams of prey often bring misfortune to the Ceratosaurus group, such as attracting "robbers" that are larger than themselves.

The Destroyer King Dragon is one of them.

This kind of sudden encounter, or the special arrangement of the assessment system, made it impossible for the two candidates to escape, so they could only fight.

The two fought against the eight-headed ceratosaur, and at the same time, they had to be careful of the gluttonous Zejuxolot lying motionless behind them. Although they were motionless now, they might have a cold at any time.

They were fighting extremely hard, but Zhou Shu watched with relish, and at the same time learned that they had analyzed their combat effectiveness.

He can almost fight back and forth with his two hounds, and he can basically be a predator on Skull Island.

If they really go all out to kill monsters and get points, then they should be able to rank around 20, just in that kind of position that is neither awkward nor awkward.

This kind of combat power is not low, so they fought back and forth with the group of ceratopsians. Seeing that they could not get the food in a short time, and casualties began to appear on their side, they all shouted.

It seems to be cheering myself up, and it seems to be calling for something.

Just a few minutes later, when the two were seriously injured, more than half of the Ceratosaurus casualties, and the Taotie Zejuxet began to move around, the scene suddenly fell silent.

The Ceratosaurus no longer roared or attacked, but surrounded the two of them.

Taotie Zeju Xun did not want to move anymore, but slowly returned to the pool, leaving only some ripples on the water surface.

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

Heavy footsteps sounded from the forest, and the trees shook obviously. There must be a big guy coming.

The injured two people obviously thought about it, and their faces that were originally pale from excessive blood loss instantly turned pale.

As for Zhou Shu, his face also turned serious. Although the vibration reached him was very small, he obviously felt that the vibration was very familiar.

After all, he had just cooperated with his hounds to kill two of them.

Sure enough, as the trees on the edge were pushed away, a huge monster stepped out, which was the Destroyer Monarch Dragon.

But seeing the guy who came out, Zhou Shu was taken aback.

This thing is much bigger than the two ends he killed before, almost 10 meters in height and nearly 20 meters in length!
The ones he had killed with the hounds before were only about 7 meters high and 14 meters long.

And now this end obviously exceeds the official setting.

So this is... a setting change?
Magic change? ?
This change made Zhou Shu feel a sense of crisis. Before, he could kill a King Destroyer Dragon by himself, thinking that he could be regarded as the top combat power of Skull Island.

And that's because he didn't use his other abilities as a support, he relied on his combat form to fight head-to-head.

Now this end, even if he used all his abilities, he would still be dead.

This huge Destruction King Dragon is probably really the king of the Destruction King Dragon. Some attributes of the previous Destruction King Dragon were extremely close to 5, but this king definitely exceeds 5.

At this level, if the assessment system is not messed up, then it must have a "shield".

In this case, some of Zhou Shu's attack methods would not work.

Seeing this and knowing this important information, Zhou Shu didn't dare to move, for fear that he would be discovered by the king.

If it was in the real world, he could kill this kind of king with one punch, but here, he was really restricted too much.

He entered a latent state, and found that the king suppressed the two of them so badly. After seeing it, the two were completely stunned, and they didn't even dare to move, and they were directly eaten by one bite.

After eating it, the king left without looking at the dead and wounded Ceratosaurus.

It left, Zhou Shu heaved a sigh of relief, and after confirming that he had gone far, he quickly attacked and killed those ceratosauruses that were eating the corpses of their compatriots, and got some points.

After that, I quickly collected some needed herbs and returned to my "hometown".

The wounds he treated for the two hounds only stayed around while they were recovering, but monsters kept coming, allowing him to score a lot of points.

In just two days, the hounds were almost recovered, so they set off again.

On the way, I met a group of ferocious giant army ants, and drove them to a specific direction.

When they went up the mountain, Zhou Shu met another kind of dinosaur, but large dinosaurs don't go up the mountain, so this kind of dinosaur is just a "little guy" less than 4 meters.

But this little guy is not simple, he is a ferocious "lone wolf".

The lore hunting dragon, a carnivorous dinosaur on Skull Island with a behavior similar to a lynx, with a body length of between 3 meters and 4 meters after adulthood.

The lore hunting dragon is the most important "natural enemy" of the famous family Qiaochao Ceratosaurus in the high mountainous area of ​​Skull Island in its activity area.As a descendant of medium-sized theropods in the late Jurassic period and dromaeosaurus in the Cretaceous period, the biggest difference between the lore hunting dragon and its ancestors is that they have completely evolved back to four-legged action.

Since the hunting areas and nests are mostly located on the broken and rugged alpine slopes, in order to adapt to the terrain here to obtain the same advantages as the "speed climbers" such as the fork-faced ceratopsian, the lore hunting dragon has changed its previous use of its hind legs to stand upright. Structures that land on four legs so that they can ride smoothly over any rocky surface that can be used as a "springboard" to pursue prey that is also bouncing around on all fours to escape.

Unlike their ancestors during the Judgment and Cretaceous Periods, Killer Hunters were typical "lone wolf" hunters, so they often used the cover of various plants, rocks or other landforms to carefully observe the movements and directions of their prey groups for a long time. , when the time is highly mature, it will suddenly jump out of the hiding place, launch a pursuit, and finally catch the prey with its superior running speed and flexibility.

The way the lore hunting dragon completes a hunt is very similar to that of cats. They will "nail" the prey to the ground with the sharp toes and claws of their two forelimbs, and then use their sharp teeth to deliver a fatal blow to their opponents.

Of course, to say that it is great, in fact, it is the same for Zhou Shu, and it is easy to become Zhou Shu's points.

Zhou Shu's points in the past two days also skyrocketed, which also made the monsters he encountered more and more difficult. Fortunately, there were no kings of any kind.

However, the chances of meeting other candidates are increasing, which also lets Zhou Shu know that the assessment may be almost over.

But now he has not got No.1.

In 09, the points growth was already slow, but it has also been growing crazily recently. I don’t know why.

So much so that Zhou Shu has become No.2 next to the opponent, and the gap with the opponent is nearly 30 points!
And there is another bad news, that is, when he woke up one day, the two hounds disappeared.

The helper is gone.
