Chapter 134 How to Gain a Foothold in the Dark Continent (Part 2)
Chapter 134 "How to gain a foothold in the Dark Continent" (Part 2)
"The Dark Continent." Men Qi, who had five braids, looked around, nodded, and shook his head, "I understand what Germain meant by that sentence before."
"Which sentence?" Buhala subconsciously pulled the hem of his shirt down, trying to cover his big belly.
"'Whether it is dangerous or not depends on the actual situation.'" Men Qi repeated unhappily, with his hands on his hips, and a bit of a shrewd flavor, "Didn't you listen during the meeting?"
"The Dark Continent is not a place that humans cannot explore at all."
"For example, before the Saheerta United States arrived at the Dark Continent, they crossed the sea of trees and walked 400 kilometers before arriving at the Ancient Labyrinth City."
"This is enough to prove that humans can explore the Dark Continent."
"But the difficulty lies in how humans can gain a foothold here and how to return. "
"The Saheerta United States went deep into the hinterland without any support. After encountering the "plant weapon gold and silver ingots", they had no solution and could not retreat in time. "
"Even if they withdrew from the "ancient maze city", the return journey alone was so far away that it was despairing. It was actually a miracle that they had two survivors. "
"Buhala nodded repeatedly.
"Bisiji, what do you think?" Menqi turned to Bisiji who was looking around.
"What do you think? Just look at it this way. "
"This "dry river valley" is my first time here. "Bisiji smiled, "It looks very novel. As for what Germain said, I basically agree. "
"However, as long as Germain is still alive and can use the "lantern", then we don't need to consider that terrible situation. "
"It's really creepy to think about it. In that dangerous situation with no reinforcements in front and pursuers behind, we have to find the way back on foot. "
"Forget about the "gatekeeper" and "guide". I don't know how long it will take to find the coastline..."
"Hey, hey, hey--" Men Qi interrupted hurriedly, "After all, you are a senior in every sense. Why don't you comfort us two "newcomers" instead of making alarmist remarks?"
"I am comforting you." Biscuit said with a smile, "Besides, a moderate sense of tension can help people concentrate, which is a good thing."
"Well, you always bring the topic back. I always have a sense of déjà vu of President Netero..." Men Qi rolled his eyes and complained.
At this time, Germain reminded: "The "dry valley creatures" I mentioned in "Dark Continent Observations" are already stirring."
"Haven't you defeated them yet?" Biscuit asked in surprise.
"It's been several months, and they probably don't remember me anymore. "After answering, Germain realized that Bisgi was teasing, so he shrugged his shoulders, "Yes, I didn't defeat them."
After a while, they saw dust flying all over the valley, and huge scarlet insects could not wait to crawl towards the four of them.
Germain took out the "meat saw", Bisgi took a fighting stance, Menqi pulled out the two machetes behind his waist, and Buhala stretched his muscles.
The battle began.
After a while, everything returned to peace.
The corpses of giant beasts were piled on the cracked rock layer, a total of sixteen "flesh sucking red bugs" and two "poisonous fog centipedes", all of which were killed.
Germain picked up the "meat saw", chopped off the back shell of a "flesh sucking red bug", picked up the eroded organ tissue, and revealed a "color-changing stone".
Biscuit took out a camera, which was clearer than a cell phone. Of course, she still had to use a cell phone to record the text. She took a few photos of the "flesh sucking red bug" and the "color-changing stone".
"You fooled me at the beginning." Biscuit flipped through the photos of the "color-changing stone" in the camera and said to Germain with some boredom, "They are everywhere, and they are not considered "gems" at all."
In fact, Germain explained to her the origin of the "color-changing stone" a long time ago, and she just liked to take the opportunity to complain.
Germain was actually quite disappointed, but disappointed for another reason.
When he killed the "flesh sucking red bug" and the "poisonous fog centipede" before, he also had the "resentment gift", but this time he killed a large number of them, but nothing.
Germain also knew that this was a matter of probability, so he didn't dwell on it too much.
"This meat..." Menqi used a machete to cut open a huge leg of the "Poison Mist Centipede", revealing the meat column inside, "I always feel that it is a bit like shrimp and crab meat, what do you think?"
Bisji took a look and waved his hand with a tingling scalp: "No, no, no matter how you look at it, they have nothing to do with shrimp and crab, right?"
"In short." Buhala touched his belly, "Let's try it first."
"Wait." Bisji interrupted in a panic, "Do you want to eat them?"
"We are the ones who want to eat them." Menqi pointed at German, Bisji, Buhala, and then at himself, "Otherwise, it would be meaningless for the two of us "food hunters" to come here, right?"
"I have a little bit of that about insects..." Bisji showed a slightly disgusted expression, "I can be very decisive when I take action, but if I eat it..."
"Don't worry, Buhala will eat it first. "
Menqi patted Buhala's big belly, and the big belly began to sway.
"If it tastes bad, or is poisonous or has germs, he can tell."
"Leave it to me." As a professional taster, Buhala beat his belly like a drum, full of confidence.
"Besides," Menqi added, "some ingredients look ugly, but they taste delicious, especially some insects, which are delicious after being fried."
"Some are also delicious when eaten raw." Buhala seemed to remember something, showing a nostalgic expression, and his mouth was watering.
"German." Bisji turned to the man in a black robe and a bird-beak mask, trying to find his ally, "Can we eat the compressed biscuits we brought?"
"I think it's a good thing to try more." German was destined to disappoint Bisji.
"It was you who decided to find Menqi and Buhala. The purpose of their coming here with us was to compile the "Dark Continent Recipe" for long-term planning. "
Bisji really regretted it a little, and felt that he had brought trouble upon himself.
At this time, German changed the subject: "However, since we will stay in this area for 16 hours, we might as well expand the search radius and look for other ingredients. ”
He doesn’t have a new “lantern” now, so he has discussed with Bisji and the others and will not go far away from the “Dry Valley”. This time, he will let Menqi and Buhala complete the work of evaluating the ingredients.
“‘Other ingredients’…”
Bisji understood what Germain meant. If he didn’t want to eat food that didn’t look good, he had to find ingredients that looked more in line with human diets.
“Good idea!” Menqi’s eyes lit up, “While Buhala and I are processing these ingredients, you two can look for them and bring back anything that looks edible.”
“In these 16 hours, we will try to let Buhala taste all the ingredients in this area.”
