monster battlefield

Chapter 219 The mission may be to live to the end

Zhou Shu watched some people rushing into the canyon of the island in the middle of the lake along the river. He observed from the side. Looking upstream from the mouth of the river, there are cliffs on both sides that are the same as the outer edge of the island. In addition, they are located on both sides of the river. up the canyon.

There are caves of corpse crabs even outside, and of course there are many in the canyon.

While he was observing, a large pincer suddenly protruded from one place. Thanks to the experience of the sailing candidate, he jumped up and avoided it.

This is only one, Zhou Shu felt that if there were two cliffs, the number of corpse crabs would be at least twice that of the outer cliffs of the island, so after thinking about it, he chose to go up from the outer cliffs.

Especially since someone has already explored the way ahead, he can climb up along the successful route of others.

Enter the real lake island area smoothly. The scenery here is similar to that of other places on Skull Island. They are all in the shape of a dark rainforest.

The ground was soft when he stepped on it, which also made Zhou Shu's heart lift up.

"what!"

Someone screamed.

It has to be said that the remaining 30 candidates are all gathered within a few kilometers, and the chances of meeting each other are even greater.

Even when they came from the outskirts of the island, it was equivalent to "gathering together", so when Zhou Shu was cautious at the beginning, someone was recruited there.

Following the sound, Zhou Shu quickly ran a few times, and immediately saw a person lying on the ground.

The man was lying on the ground, covering his left leg with his hands, and beside him were three giant centipede corpses that were constantly writhing.

There was no one else around, so it seemed that this man was a lone wolf like himself, or was forced to become a lone wolf after the river crossing operation.

Zhou Shu did not rush out, but first observed the big centipede broken into three sections.

He made a visual estimate and found that the giant centipede was about 1.2 meters long, which was larger than the 90-centimeter "Mother of All Insects."

Moreover, its color is dry brown, its legs are thick and long, and when it is curled up together, it looks like a dead branch. No wonder that candidate was recruited.

In line with this color and shape, Zhou Shu thought of the giant centipede.

Even within the giant centipede group, the competition for survival is equally fierce.

As the "second master" of the giant centipede family, although the shape of the giant centipede is much larger than their cousins ​​in the offshore area of ​​​​Skull Island, they can grow up to 1.2 meters, but this can only allow them to occupy the jungle hunting ground One of the leaf accumulation areas.

Of course, the Evil Thorn Giant Centipede is also the largest centipede in the leaf accumulation area. In this area, it is not a second master, but a major master.

In the leaf accumulation area, the giant centipede can eat various insects, various rodents, flying lizards and other small animals, and its life is quite comfortable.

When capturing small prey, this sinuous and terrifying killer will use their strong grasping legs to immobilize the prey's body, and at the same time use their "extremely painful" venom to make the struggling victim completely give up. .

After the prey unwillingly "quietly waits" for a period of time, they will die in extreme pain as their body tissues gradually dissolve.

Then, it was time for the Evil Thorn Giant Centipede to eat.

As the largest predator in the leaf accumulation area, the giant centipede will naturally not be satisfied with small prey, they are always pursuing the limit.

If the location is right, they will bite and inject some venom when the Destroyer King Dragon crosses the road.

Of course, the skin of the Destroying Monarch Dragon is too thick, and the size gap is quite huge. Their venom is naturally useless to the Monarch Dragon, and it is even a matter of whether it can "break through" the skin.

So Monarch Dragon would not notice them at all.

However, for those who are slightly larger than them, the venom is still quite powerful, just like this unlucky candidate now.

When Zhou Shu looked at him again, he could no longer howl, because his body began to swell, his skin was so tight that it was almost translucent, and Zhou Shu could see some liquid flowing inside.

Zhou Shu looked at his head and found that it was "missing", replaced by a... balloon.

"Huh~"

Zhou Shu shuddered and quietly retreated.

He didn't intend to pass through the leaf accumulation area, instead he went to the edge of the cliff and walked along the river to the island.

Once there is any danger, he can push it with a strong life force field and jump directly to the opposite bank.

The latest mini-mission takes them to the center of the island, where further tasks await them.

Although I didn't say anything else, it's the final stage. The first one to get there...should there be any rewards?

With this in mind, the remaining 30 people quickly rushed towards the center of the island.

Looking at the remaining 31 players on the standings, Zhou Shu's running speed was much faster. Since he was running along the river, he could clearly see the boats going upstream in the river.

The topography of the central island is still very "virtual". It was just a cliff, but it soon turned into a wide river and a river beach.

However, due to the emergence of river beaches, candidates in the river also encountered a large group of "blockers".

Shallow-swimming giant mouth, a hippopotamus-like vegetarian animal of the Skull Island canine-jawed mammal.

Although they are vegetarian animals, their tempers are not very good.

The fundamental reason why the shallow-swimming giant mouth likes a large family, men, women, and children, yelling, and shaking the world is just to remind other animals that reeds, water lilies, and various other aquatic plant areas are their territory.

Idle people... No, idle beasts are not allowed to enter!
Because the shallow-swimming giant mouth has a thick and short neck, a strong big head, a heavy upper and lower jaw, and wide hooves that are extremely suitable for living in water, as well as a long tail used as an underwater propulsion, and dark brown-gray scales covering the whole body.

A full-grown shallow-swimming giant can grow up to 6 meters in length, and is almost a weird cross between a giant hippopotamus and a giant lizard.

So even a single shallow-swimming giant mouth is strong enough to protect itself from large aquatic predators, such as the giant pomfret.

The 6-meter shallow-swimming megamouth is comparable to an adult male giant pomfret, although it is smaller than a 15-meter-long adult female giant pomfret, but their thick scales are strong enough to bear the bite of some giant pomfret hurt.

As for other smaller predators, all it takes is a proud grin from the shallow-swimming giant mouth and a high-profile display of their incredibly sharp, machete-like Type II canines to scare them off.

The most striking thing about an adult shallow-swimming giant mouth is the jaws, which are frighteningly large even by their size.

If attacked, the shallow-swimming giant mouth will use their large mouth supported by strong muscles and the sharp canine teeth in the mouth to cause extremely serious wounds to the skin of the invading enemy.

Of course, if it is found that there are enemies on the shore that even the largest adult giant-mouthed beasts can hardly deal with, such as the ultimate villain to destroy the king dragon, all the giant-mouthed beasts will rush into the river without hesitation.

They will not "hold up face" on the shore.

Usually shallow-swimming giant mouths are known for their strong sense of territory and becoming extremely aggressive in order to defend their territory. Once they enter the breeding season, their emotions will become more manic.

The female shallow-swimming giant mouth, which is quite docile in most cases, will also directly intervene in various physical conflicts and break out fierce battles with other animals.

The "other animals" here also include male individuals in the family.

Like the crocodile, the shallow-swimming giant mouth lays its eggs in the center of piles made of a large number of plants.

Shallow-swimming giant mouth juveniles grow at an astonishing rate, and most of the children can quickly integrate with their family and surrounding community environment shortly after hatching.

Coincidentally, the candidates who went upstream encountered the breeding season of the shallow-swimming giant mouth.

Although Zhou Shu didn't know when the shallow-swimming giant-mouthed beast's breeding season was, Zhou Shu knew it was right when he saw those examinees being intercepted by the violent shallow-swimming giant-mouthed beast.

And all of this affirms the arrangement of the assessment system.

As for their fight, Zhou Shu didn't intervene. After he quickly ran over, there were only 29 people left on the leaderboard!
Good guy, I'm afraid the final question of this assessment is not "survive to the finish line".

The final assembly point has not yet arrived, and there are only 29 people left on the way. If you die on the way, 9 more people will not have to take the test at all, and almost all of them can be promoted to become fighters.

If the death is more ruthless, half of them will die, then all of them will be promoted!
On the other side, Team 1, still No. 09 in the standings, is in trouble.

Because of their strength, none of their four-member team was missing, but compared to the No. 09 No. [-], the other three fell below the top ten.

This is because they discovered that Zhou Shu was increasing his points crazily, and seeing that Boss 09 was about to lose his first place, they quickly adopted a "cheating" method and gave 09 the last blow to kill monsters.

Points for teaming up to fight monsters will be distributed, but just like the team calculations in some games, more points will be distributed for the last fatal attack.

Relying on this method, they kept the No. 09 of No. 1, and although they dropped to outside the top ten, they were able to pass the assessment smoothly.

They were the first wave to climb the cliff and enter the central island. After traveling for a while, they also encountered Zhou Shu's situation and found the evil thorn giant centipede, so they also took a detour.

They even took a very thorough detour and went straight into the water.

Or canoe plan, take the waterway.

The four of them were in a canoe, and although they were scattered, they were like horns. While observing their own surroundings, they also paid attention to other people's surroundings.

The river on Central Island is very gentle, allowing them to go upstream all the time. At the same time, according to the map, the source of the river is also the final meeting place, so they decided to take the waterway all the time.

Of course, if there is no major danger in the follow-up.

"Boss 09, the point increase of 01 has also stopped. It seems that your No. 1 position is stable."

Barbarian Strong Man No. 44 was rowing the boat and said while observing the surroundings.

"I feel the same way. The opponent's team should have reached its limit. After all, even we are out of the top ten. If the opponent continues, maybe they won't be able to pass the assessment."

Said the pale-skinned No. 26 with the hooked nose.

Although No. 09 said before that 01 might be a person, or even a "lucky guy", they believed it at first, but after thinking about it, how can there be such a powerful person.

If one person can match the scoring rate of a team of theirs, that's no god, even if their coach comes in and overwhelms the rookie stage, it is impossible to be so powerful.

Their coach is an elite-level super fighter, and his attributes have reached 8!
Therefore, they feel that 01 is at least the same team as them. The reason why the points increase so fiercely is probably because of the same strategy as them.

After all, he encountered an accident at the beginning of 01 and didn't score a single point. His teammates had to let his points increase first.

As for why it grew crazy later, I don't know.

Maybe the other party's organization and institution gave the other party the first task they must take.

Because they were strong enough and after observing that there were no dangerous monsters underwater, they relaxed their vigilance slightly.

After all, they couldn't stand the tense nerves.

It was all right at first, but when they rowed into a large swamp, they ran into trouble.

A huge centipede more than two meters long jumped out of the water in an instant and bit hard at the strong barbarian man.

The strong man of the barbarian subconsciously used the wooden paddle to block it. The centipede bit the wooden paddle directly and smashed it towards the strong man.

Still, 09 next to him had quick hands and quick eyes, and shot the wooden oar out of his hand, instantly blasting the big centipede in the head.

Although the body of the big centipede still hit the strong man, it was no longer a cause for concern. The strong man let the body out with a single sideways move, and 09 also gained 10 points by the way.

"thump!"

"Bah ah~"

The strong man wiped off the juice all over his face, feeling hot. He knew that the juice was corrosive, but as long as it wasn't a strong acidic substance, he could resist it.

"Boss 09, thanks..."

"Don't thank me yet, we're in trouble."

09 A cold voice sounded.

When the strong man heard the words, he immediately took a breath of cool air from the swamp.

There were densely packed giant centipedes floating on the water, none of them smaller than the one just now.

They are surrounded!

"boom!"

The water boiled instantly!

Zhou Shu once again hid behind the leaves and saw this scene.

The nine-headed basilisk centipede, a giant aquatic centipede, is a predator of the necromancer family that lives in waterways. It can be said to be the largest centipede on Skull Island.

The huge body makes the nine-headed basilisk centipede almost fearless in its ruled area, and at the same time, it also brings them an unsatisfactory appetite.

As long as it looks smaller than itself or is injured and inconvenient to move, the hydra centipede will eagerly pounce on it, "I can't wait to swallow them whole in one bite."

Like many aquatic animals, Hydra Centipede likes to lie in wait for a while, only to strike when it sees the right opportunity.

They often pre-lurk close to the bottom and attack from directly below their prey.

First give the prey a poisonous kiss, and then quickly retreat to the side to wait for the venom to take effect.

Interestingly, Hydra centipedes are actually very weakly poisonous, so they release a very large amount of venom with each bite to ensure that the venom is fatal enough to kill medium or small dinosaurs.

Fully grown Hydra centipedes can grow to nearly 4 meters in length. Their bodies are flattened in a horizontal line, with a large number of strong legs with many joints and a very wide tail to provide them with considerable underwater propulsion. , all of these individuals are dark in color.

There are several tentacles with sharp hooks growing around their huge mouthparts, which look like the nine heads of a hydra, hence the name Hydra centipede.

Countless black nine-headed basilisk centipedes rolled in the swamp, and the swamp was muddy, and the group of four could no longer stand on the canoe.

However, they fell into the water at the beginning, but soon stood on the water again.

To be precise, it stood on the back of the nine-headed basilisk centipede.

They wanted to leave the swamp with the back of the nine-headed basilisk centipede all over the swamp, but whenever they made a move, there would always be centipedes rushing from the side, even if they couldn't bite them, they could still smear them with venom.

Although the toxicity of the venom was weak and it didn't enter the body directly, it also interrupted their continuous jumping.

Their lives are not in danger for the time being, but once time passes, they will definitely not be able to hold on. After all, this is the home of the Nine-Headed Basilisk Centipede.

Not to mention physical strength, the venom is a bit weaker, but it's not that it's safe and useless.

When wounds began to appear on their bodies, it was a sign that they were about to die in this swamp.

Zhou Shu grinned as he watched from the side. The Skull Island, which had been magically modified by the assessment system, was simply too perverted.

He had already seen the numbers of those four people, and naturally he also saw the 09.

It's just that he didn't expect that 09 turned out to be a young woman, and she looked like an elf in a fictional work.

The same goes for a few others, which remind him of some fictional race.

But no matter how "fictional" it is, it's all about strength.

Let's talk about it if we can survive.

If this 09 died here, wouldn't his mission of "obtaining No. 1" be completed?
