The weird game of the ancient gods

Long Qi said, "Why wait until tomorrow? Let's take action soon. We can't catch mice anyway."

In fact, it is very easy to kill mice. Dragon Knight's flying stone technique is accurate every time, but the key is that it is too difficult to find mice, and the two of them are not like Ergouzi who can turn into a cat and smell.

It's not like a mechanic who can have pets to help him fight. He can only rely on slow searches. It's completely luck and the efficiency is really poor.

Xia Yu nodded, "Okay, let's take action after lunch."

As he said that, he started to prepare lunch.

The two of them walked back and forth for more than ten miles this morning, and spent a lot of effort preparing food. They were already very hungry.

Take out the packed ingredients and prepare lunch.

Considering that fish meat is the most perishable, the two decided to eat the fish first. In fact, the two fish had already started to smell fishy. They didn't know whether it was because they had been left out for a day or because they were smelly.

The two of them didn't mind it, so they just started cooking it. The method was very simple, they fried it in oil. When they were handling the mice, they got a little fat from the skin of the mice. The amount was very small, but it could barely be used to fry meat.

This was the inspiration given to Xia Yu by the leader in the morning.

Fat is a good thing, especially when food is scarce. Fat can provide a lot of calories and is much more valuable than lean meat. Unfortunately, these mice are too thin and have no fat at all. I just scraped off a piece the size of an egg.

Rub the oil on the pan, and when it becomes a little shiny, put the two fish with the heads and scales removed and fry them repeatedly until the meat turns from white to yellow, slightly charred, and emits a smell. When there was a smell that was stinky and a bit appetizing, Xia Yu took the two fish out of the pot.

The two of them started eating one piece each.

Both of them ate very quickly, finishing the fish weighing two kilograms in just a few bites.

Xia Yu licked the remaining oil on his fingers. The fish tasted a bit strange, but it was definitely not poisonous. After all, it had been purified. He still wanted to eat it, mainly because he was too hungry, and he felt that he could eat two more.

Xia Yu had never had this kind of experience in the past. When he was sitting in an office or working as a professional gamer, no matter how tired he was, he was mentally tired. When eating, he could feel full with just one pound of meat. There wasn't much food, but now he felt like he could eat any amount of food. Unfortunately, these fish, meat, and rat meats were all lean meat, with a lot of protein, but the calories they provided were a bit low, and he didn't know how long they would last.

"How about grilling some meat?" Longqi said, obviously not full.

Xia Yu shook his head, "Let's save some money. We don't know how long it will take for us to have new harvests, and I always feel that the days to come will only become more and more difficult."

Xia Yu said this and came to the conclusion after thinking. Although these three days were quite difficult, everyone showed their talents and harvested a lot of food. And due to the gradual proficiency, it will definitely be easier to obtain food in the future. To follow this If the trend continues, this game will definitely turn into a bladder game.

He felt that based on the general nature of survival games, when the difficulty of the game could no longer limit players, it would probably be time to introduce new monsters and new mechanisms. He could not be prepared for what would happen in the next few days.

So stock up as much food as possible to cope with the situation.

Seeing that Longqi was still very hungry, Xia Yu transformed into a roast chicken and came out, which he could eat casually.

Longqi didn't even pick it, he just picked it up and gnawed it.

After lunch, the two took a short rest and then started making fishing gear.

In order to ensure that they can catch fish, the two decided to win by quantity.

Using broken wood pieces as fish floats, bending steel wire found at the hardware store into fish hooks, grinding a sharp tip on the top, and using nylon rope as fishing line, the two made ten sets of fishing tackle in one go.

Then the two made two large fishing gears. The fishhook was made of thin steel bars, with a sharp tip on the top. It was more than ten centimeters long. Such a large fishhook was enough to catch sharks.

As for the bait, I just used the rat guts that I peeled out when handling the rats in the morning.

After getting ready, the two set out to catch fish.

It's said to be catching fish, but what I hope to catch most is naturally the so-called 'mutated lizard'. Catching one is enough to eat for a while.

In order to ensure that the two of them could fight each other after being lured out, Longqi also made a spear out of a steel pipe and a kitchen knife.

Xia Yu also brought his own serrated saber and a kitchen knife.

The two brought their tools and came to the lake. The huge round lake could not be seen to the edge at a glance. The water surface at this time was unusually calm, like a pool of stagnant water. Looking at the black lake water, both of them felt a little sighing at the lake. , it was okay when I didn’t see the lake, and I didn’t think too much when eating fish. Now looking at the pitch-black lake, and thinking about finding something to eat from it, I always feel a little uncomfortable.

But it was better than eating cockroaches. Xia Yu didn't waste any more words and started to hook directly. He lowered a small hook every ten meters. Ten fishhooks were lined up in a row. The fishing line was directly tied to the thin steel bar and inserted into it. Into the soil on the shore.

In the end, there were only two big fishhooks left, which were taken care of by the two of them. The bait was made of grilled steak, which was strung on top, tied with a nylon rope, and thrown into the water.

The next step is to wait patiently.

Xia Yu felt that even if there were fish in the lake, there wouldn't be many, and he could only try his luck as to whether he could catch them. The result was truly unfortunate. After putting down a row of fishhooks, more than ten minutes passed, and not a single fishhook moved.

The dragon knight checked one by one, walking from one end to the other, and then from that end to the other.

"I said, why hasn't there been any movement?" he said impatiently.

"I don't know. Maybe the smell of the lake is too strong and the smell of the bait can't be transmitted. Maybe there are too few fish in the lake and there are no fish nearby?"

"Then how did the mechanic catch it?"

"Who knows, he definitely can't say it."

"How about throwing more things in? Since that big lizard is a predator, it must need some movement to lure it out."

Xia Yuxin said that there is some truth in it.

With a fierce move, four roast chickens came out in one breath, and they were all thrown into the water one after another. Watching the four roast chickens rising and falling on the lake, making ripples.

Xia Yuxin said that I don’t believe it and can’t elicit it.

However, after waiting for several minutes, there was still no movement.

Xia Yu couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and Longqi was also anxious, "Should we change places? Could it be that the composition of the water in this lake is different, with fish in some places and no fish in others?"

"Let's wait a little longer, maybe -" Suddenly, the sound of water gurgled, interrupting the conversation between the two of them. As soon as they turned their heads, they discovered that one of the roast chickens floating on the lake was missing.

"There seems to be movement!"

"Get ready for battle! If what we catch is not a fish but that big lizard, we are afraid we will have to fight a tough battle."

There was a bang, but this time the two of them saw a roast chicken sinking into the water instantly as if it was pulled by something.

If you can pull a roasted chicken into the water at once, it must not be a fish, at least not a small fish. Could it be the big lizard that the overlord was talking about? Xia Yu thought about pulling out the saber and staring at the water, but if this thing didn't come ashore, he wouldn't be able to use it.

The dragon rider also tightened his grip on the spear, and with a bang, another roast chicken sank.

Xia Yu thought something was wrong, what if this guy ate all the roast chicken and then stopped coming? Wouldn't that be a waste of food?

The dragon knight also thought of this, and out of desperation, he suddenly plunged his spearhead into the lake water and stirred it up. This move was really effective. The water surface in the lake in the distance suddenly moved, and a vortex slowly moved towards The shore moved over, and something seemed to be moving under the water. Xia Yu felt happy, and he said it was coming. However, the joy soon turned into shock, and the shock turned into fear, and the movement of the eddy became louder and louder. , moving faster and faster, you can vaguely see a huge shadow approaching quickly under the water. Although the lake is too dark to see what it is, but judging from the momentum, it is definitely a huge thing, at least ten meters long. Eight meters in size.

"No - flash!" Xia Yu said and turned around to run. The dragon rider hesitated for a moment, turned around with his spear and started running too. Before the two of them ran up the dirt slope around the lake shore, they heard something behind them. After fluttering for a while, he continued to climb while looking back, and saw several huge tentacles rushing out of the water. Each one was as thick as a bucket. These tentacles were covered with suckers, and they seemed to be clawing at the shore. As if it has climbed ashore, the monster's body is seven or eight meters long, half in the water and half out of the water. The monster is a huge meaty mountain of meat. It seems to be some kind of mutated octopus, but this The head is so ridiculously big that it reminds people of Kraken who often appears in sea monster movies.

day! The two were so frightened that they did not dare to stop at all, for fear of being dragged into the lake by the tentacles. They rushed up the slope in one breath and ran two to three hundred meters into the city before stopping. Looking back, the monster was not there. After catching up, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Longqi was in shock, "Huh, it's really fucking dangerous. What is that thing?"

Xia Yu shook his head, "I didn't see it clearly. It looks like an octopus with many tentacles."

"How come an octopus lives in a lake?"

"Who knows, maybe it's mutated, or maybe there's an underground river connecting the lake with the sea? It's probably the BOSS arranged by the homeowner."

Long Qi said, "If it's a BOSS, wouldn't there be a reward if you defeat it?"

Xia Yuxin said that he was really not sure. Besides, this thing itself was a huge reward. If he could win it, he would probably be able to eat it until the spring of next year. But that said, he was definitely not prepared to go after the BOSS. Realistically It's not a game. Let him go up and kill the BOSS with a dagger. No matter how you look at it, he will end up getting killed.

In any case, there is no way to go to this lake.

"Should I remind the mechanic? This guy fishes every day. If the monster drags him into the water..."

"He may not listen to you if you tell me, but - I'd better remind him when we meet next time."

"It's a pity, so there's one less way to get food."

The two of them walked back angrily. As they walked, Xia Yu suddenly felt a chill on his face. He wiped it with his hand and found water on his face. When he raised his head, he saw that the sky had turned into lead at some point. It was gray, and pieces of snowflakes were falling from the sky.

"It's Xue!" Longqi said in surprise.

"It's Xue..." Xia Yu nodded, with a solemn look on his face.

And it's not ordinary snow. The snow water is gray-black, the color of which is mixed with dust in the air. It's getting heavier and heavier, and it's gray like a rain of floating ashes.

Seeing the snow getting heavier and heavier, the two of them hurriedly ran back to the shelter building. By the time they entered the building and climbed to the second floor, their bodies were already covered in gray stains from the snow.

At this time, not only was it snowing non-stop, but the wind also began to get stronger and it was blowing coldly.

Xia Yu felt the severe cold that penetrated his bones and thought that it was indeed coming. It seemed that the difficulty of survival in this game was about to increase.

Three updates today, and I still owe the leader one update.
