hunt and eat

Accompanied by the slow movement of the bird car, in the yellow sand all over the sky, the whole team completely disappeared on the horizon of the desert.

"Let's go, target"

"Dong Doruma!"

Volume [-] Red Star Survey

Chapter 1 Hammer? no!It's already in the shape of a heavy ballista~

Although they were attacked by some monsters along the way, under the protection of the overall strength of the team, Guta and the others still crossed the desert without any risk.

Most of the monsters that attacked them in the ancient tower were crustacean monsters with the ability to penetrate the ground, and they also possessed different levels of [Earth Control] abilities.

Therefore, after defeating them, Guta directly and decisively chose to seize their earth [earth defense] ability, and finally raised this ability to LV5.

The coverage of the ability has also changed from the area where the palm touches to the area where the body touches.

The most direct change is that the ancient tower can now exert a specific influence on the area where the claws stand.

"The old dense forest is ahead, and it's almost time. Let's rest outside the dense forest at night."

Considering that the climate in the old dense forest is relatively humid in this season, and there are more mosquitoes, Guta directly proposed to camp and rest in an area close to the desert.

Few of the girls liked to have close contact with insects, so the proposal was straightforwardly accepted.

Surrounded by the stones found on the side, Guta took the split firewood from the bird cart and stacked them neatly together.

Weiwei arched her body, holding two burning coal crystals and rubbing them for a while, the dazzling sparks fell into the pile of firewood, and a ball of flames burst into flames in an instant.

A large cauldron was then wiped out and placed safely on a temporary hearth made of stones.

"It will take a whole day to arrive in East Doruma. Shall we find a base to rest on the way tomorrow night, or go straight on the road?" Guta looked at Nia who took out the seasoning and spatula from the bird cart, and whispered asked.

"Let's go directly. The vicinity of East Doruma is basically considered very safe, and there will be no risk if you walk at night."

Nia tilted her head and thought for a while, and quickly made up her mind.

Everyone didn't have any objections, they just stepped aside and waited respectfully for the chef to start cooking tonight.

Use a piece of Zhanlonglong oil cut into small pieces in advance to wipe the pot continuously, and under the conduction of heat from the bottom, a light film of oil soon covers the bottom of the pot.

A large pot of Sharon meat ribs that had been marinated for more than eight hours was poured into the pot that was already full of hot oil.

The crackling oil flowers exploded into pieces in an instant, like firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, especially loud in the silent desert.

"How familiar do you guys want to be?" Nia watched the fire while looking at the salivating teammates behind her.

"Three servings!"

"Five points!"

"I want a fully cooked meow~"

"I want a rare one, well, you can give it to me now."

The last sentence is what Guta said.

"Don't make trouble." Knocking on Guta's head, Nia pushed him away angrily, and began to press the ribs piece by piece with her fingers to make sure that the inside was evenly heated.

During this period, the more alluring fragrance made all the gluttons behind them look straight.

About 10 minutes later, just when Guta and the others were about to faint from hunger, Nia's cry of "Okay" shocked everyone at the same time.

"Mie Jin, your medium rare, wait for me to sprinkle some salt." As a chef's self-esteem, Nia absolutely cannot accept that the food is handed over to the diners before they are processed.

Sprinkle a little coarse salt on both sides of the ribs, Nia nodded, put it on a plate and handed it to Mie Jin.

The moment the latter took the plate, he took a "ahhhh" and bit it.

The juice, which had been completely locked up due to the Maillard reaction, splashed out after taking this unreserved sip, and the eyes of Guta and Weiwei on the side turned green.

"Is it so juicy..." Guta swallowed heavily, his stomach began to drum uncontrollably.

"Wait a minute, both of you are getting better soon." Nia made a calm gesture, comforting the two who were a little restless because of hunger.

Speaking of which, this scene feels a bit like a kindergarten teacher leading a child.

Although among these "children", there seem to be two "giant cubs".

Not long after, Guta and Weiwei also received their respective dinners.

And Nia put the remaining half of the ribs out of the pot, cut half and handed it to Qiao Qiao whose mouth was drenched with hair, and then sat down while rubbing her sore neck.

"Thanks for your hard work." Guta smiled and handed over a glass of juice that had been chilled in advance.

It is worth mentioning that the juice cup is a special style that Guta bought from a grocery store when he was idle and bored.

At the bottom of the cup body, a small piece of ice-clean stone is placed, which can ensure the cooling effect of the liquid in the cup even in the hot summer.

It is almost a hot commodity in the desert area.

"It's okay, I'm quite satisfied to see you guys eating happily." Niya thanked her and took the cup.

Taking a sip of the cold juice, Nia straightened her feet with a relaxed expression.

At this time, the desert has not yet completely entered the night, so the temperature is still maintained at nearly [-] degrees.

Being able to drink a glass of refreshing iced drink in such an environment is simply beyond praise.

"Well, I'm sorry for asking you to be self-willed with me." Suddenly, Guta said this from his mouth.

Nia was a little taken aback, but she quickly came to her senses.

"Ah, you're talking about going to Dongdoruma." Nia held her hair hanging down her forehead and smiled gently, "Everyone also meant that, but it's just a matter of going with the flow... The idiom should be correct, right?"

After finishing speaking, Niya glanced slyly at the side, still not satisfied, and was holding the dry food and gnawed it madly.

"You guy, sometimes I really don't know if it's a dark belly or a bad heart..." Guta shook his head helplessly, and fiddled with the firewood at his feet.

"What are you guys talking about?" On the side, Weiwei, who was still watching Ai Lu's cat licking its fur just now, sat carelessly on the sand beside the fire with a hammer that was still shining with thunder.

Glancing at the electro-optical hammer with a slight displeasure, Guta couldn't help but clicked his tongue, "Do you still have this broken hammer?"

He didn't forget that because of the hammer, he almost smashed Weiwei's dog's head.

It was strange to say that he was so angry at that time, but since he found out that Wei Wei was a pure forging idiot with no brains, he couldn't get angry for no reason.

Probably, because it's useless to be angry with this guy.

For an idiot whose mind is only thinking about forging, no matter how much you scold her and beat her up, she still won't change at all, she is so stubborn and outrageous.

This is a guy who is more faithful to his own desires than Guta.

So often do some stupid things out.

"Hammer? Is this..." Weiwei scratched her head in a daze, then showed a suddenly realized expression, and suddenly raised the electric hammer in her hand, "Oh, you said this?"

"It wasn't a hammer anymore more than a month ago."

"Introduce, this is my new heavy ballista, Lightning Ripper."

Lifting the hammer, Weiwei proudly introduced.

"..."

???

Guta and Nia looked at each other, and saw a series of question marks on each other's heads almost at the same time.

……

Chapter 2 【Electric Light Ripper · Heavy Ballista Form】

"What kind of transformation is it that can turn a hammer into a heavy ballista?"

With lowered eyes, Guta looked at Weiwei's shoulder speechlessly, the hammer that had indeed grown a lot.

At the very center of the hammer body, he vaguely saw a blue-purple round hole covered with grooves, which indeed looked a bit like the muzzle of a cannon.

"Well, didn't I just tell you at the time, when I built it, I reserved a deformed structure, thinking about adding a Taichi deformation in the future." Weiwei touched her sledgehammer with some resentment, oh no, Heavy crossbow, the launch port is much thicker than ordinary heavy crossbow.

"Later, I saw that you didn't need it anymore, so I thought I'd make do with it."

"Until recently, I had the opportunity to use our remaining monster materials to complete the deformation structure of the hammer, which is today's [Electric Light Ripper · Heavy Ballista Form]."

As soon as she mentioned her new invention, Weiwei got a little excited again, and directly pressed a spar button on the handle of her hammer.

"Let me demonstrate it to you. Although it is a single shot, it is very powerful!"

While speaking, accompanied by a burst of electric sparks crackling and shining on the hammer body, the hammer head was completely split from the middle, and the hammer body on both sides also extended outward, forming a mechanical claw pattern in the center of the four guards.

"The ammunition I use is a mixed structure of burning charcoal crystals and explosive bombs. Basically, it needs to be reloaded every time it is fired, but the power is almost ten times that of the previous one, and it also comes with a high-intensity blasting effect."

Having said that, Weiwei ignored Guta and Nia's dissuasion, aimed at a rock statue in the distance, and pulled the trigger.

The next moment, accompanied by a loud thunderous noise, a giant cannonball like a round lightning pulled out a cableway-like thunder path in mid-air, and hit the ancient stone sculpture that was almost like a hill.

Almost in an instant, the inconspicuous head of the stone sculpture was shattered into fragments of stone scattered all over the sky by a cannonball.

"This kind of power..." Guta's pupils shrank suddenly, and he felt a chill all over his body.

Even if he is himself, with [Arm Enhancement] turned on, he can't say that he can completely block the shelling.

This kind of power is already close to the [Beetle Blast Cannon] used by the cannon beetle they met that day!

"Hey, how's it going?" Weiwei shook the hot Lightning Ripper in her hand, showing off proudly, "I used the leftover materials of Zhanlong and Qianblalong to imitate the cannon beetle The structure of the mouthparts, combined with the precious jade of Thunder Dog Dragon King, is the final product."

"Indeed, there is something." Guta nodded, and looked at Weiwei seriously, "Your talent in forging is even stronger than I imagined."

It's not that Guta is deliberately flattering Weiwei. In fact, with Guta's character, he would not do such a thing on purpose.

To be honest, ordinary blacksmiths and blacksmiths can't assemble such a powerful weapon with a pile of leftovers like Weiwei.

Yes, it is broken.

Guta knew very well that after continuously forging three sets of armor and two weapons, the materials for the key parts were almost exhausted, and the rest were just scraps of materials.

The ghost knows how Weiwei made this kind of thing that is almost like a city-breaking cannon.

"However, it seems that this heavy ballista can only be fired single-shot... Besides, does it have a certain cooling time?" Noticing the red light gradually emerging from the hole of the gun, Nia asked in a low voice.

Wei Wei, who was still arrogant and domineering, smiled awkwardly when she heard this, and then explained falteringly: "After all, the material is not good enough, and every time you shoot, it needs to be worn out. The energy of Thunder Dog Dragon King Baoyu inside, so the cooling time will be relatively long, and the launch interval is about 5 minutes."

"If there are any shortcomings, you can tell them together." Guta covered his face and glanced at Weiwei.

"Hehe~"

Seeing that she couldn't pretend anymore, Weiwei, who showed her true colors, put the heavy [Electric Light Ripper] on the ground with a bang, and began to confess.

"In fact, there is another disadvantage, that is, the cost of ammunition is very high... You need to use small pieces of burning stone crystals, and some relatively expensive concoctions. Basically, you need this amount for each round."

While talking, Weiwei gestured to the two of them.

"1200Z coins!?" Guta asked in a voice.

What a joke, the ordinary low-level tasks, plus the selling price of the materials, will be a few thousand less if they are exhausted, and in the end, it will be worth a few rounds of ammunition at Weiwei's place.

The team's funds are not sufficient to this point.

Seeing this reaction, Weiwei poked her finger and said falteringly: "After the process is proficient, the amount of concoction can be reduced a lot, and the cost should be further reduced by then."

"Okay, it's normal for the cost of ammunition to be a bit higher, after all, you have seen the power of the shot just now." Nia was very appreciative of this, but encouraged Wei Wei, "Anyway, it's also a way to strengthen the team." It’s a method of strength, and I think it’s pretty good.”

"That's right, Guta's weak spirit still kills me!" With Nia's backing, Vivi immediately cheered up again, and hid directly behind Nia, who was more than a head shorter than her, and began to provoke Guta constantly.

"This guy thinks about fighting all day long, unlike me, trying his best to strengthen the team."

"I think we can increase investment in this area in the future..."

While talking, Weiwei unconsciously changed the topic to the direction of funding.

"Okay, Weiwei, we just upgraded our equipment after all, let's talk about this matter after a while..." Nia silently skipped this topic, and shook her head lightly.

"Okay..." Hanging her head in frustration, Weiwei dragged her [Electric Light Ripper] and returned to the carriage feebly.

The shot just now seemed to have broken a part inside the heavy ballista, so it had to be repaired quickly.

Soon, the sky completely darkened.

Beside the swaying bonfire, everyone gathered around the fluffy Schiff and Snowball, looking at the shining galaxy above their heads in a trance, feeling inexplicably moved and shocked for a while.
