Old man it’s time to blast gold coins (v1c45)
Even though the iron gate prop that she drew had a slight healing effect, Ye Sheng's ankle injury was serious. She was recovering gradually, but it was not easy to explore the rat hole at this time.
However, with the prop protection, she felt safe.
Ye Sheng could walk slowly.
She had 12 hours anyway!
Thinking of this, Ye Sheng looked up subconsciously in the direction from which the Netherworld Jackdaw was flying. The two assisting black giant birds flew in mid-air and used the familiar attack again - Feather Shooting.
It seemed that the mercenaries had to fight hard to defeat these Netherworld Jackdaws.
Ye Sheng, who now owed points to save her life, sighed. She could only protect herself now and could not offer any help. She hoped that the base officials would receive the news as soon as possible and send reinforcements.
After thinking about this for a while, Ye Sheng took out the nylon bag from her bag and used it as a bandage to wrap around her swollen ankle. After wrapping it, Ye Sheng tried to take a step forward.
Very good.
The pain eased a bit.
Now, as long as it didn't interfere with exploring the rat hole.
Ye Sheng packed up everything and lit a simple torch. Then, before entering the rat hole, she looked sideways at the three porcupine rats squatting nearby and stared at them. She bared her teeth and smiled at the big rats, and waved her hand gracefully.
'Old man, it's time to blast the gold coins!'
The rat hole was as dark and humid as ever, with little air circulation. Compared to the temporary mouse hole they visited last time, the rat hole they entered this time was a porcupine rat nest with more traces of life, so the rat hole was surrounded by porcupine rat body odor.
What a stinky person!
Ye Sheng had no choice but to take out a piece of cloth from her bag and wrap it around her nose skillfully, comforting herself that the body odor of porcupine rats was better than the odor of corpses!
Thinking about it this way, she surprisingly felt a lot better...
Sure enough, everything needed comparison.
Because the rat hole was also within the effective range of the prop's iron gate, Ye Sheng's sprained ankle was being treated, allowing her to walk faster and faster. After ten minutes, she could no longer feel the pain in her ankle.
For this reason, Ye Sheng stopped deliberately and unwrapped the nylon bag.
She saw that her ankle, which had been swollen to a bun before, had returned to normal.
Ye Sheng moved her legs to confirm that her injury was healed.
This time, the forward speed was even faster, making Ye Sheng wish she could fly directly to the end of the rat hole with wings on her back.
However, the porcupine rat's nest was much more sophisticated than its temporary home. It was not only three times wider, but also deeper.
Ye Sheng walked silently for a long time, probably not even half the distance.
Fortunately, there were no other porcupine rats in the rat hole, so apart from taking some time to walk, there was nothing to be afraid of.
'Crack'
Just as Ye Sheng was thinking this, a strange sound suddenly appeared in front of her.
She stopped for a moment, her whole body stiff and tense, her black eyes filled with suspicion and fear, and her heart beating like a drum.
She couldn't be so unlucky!
Encountering porcupine rats in a rat hole?
Just thinking about this scene could make her die on the spot.
However, despite the extremely quiet situation in the dark rat hole, the clicking sound did not stop. After making Ye Sheng nervous for a minute, she found that she was not attacked, which made her bolder.
If there was still a porcupine rat guarding the mouse hole, it would have jumped out and given her a paw.
Maybe something else?
Out of curiosity, Ye Sheng continued to move forward, but the speed of her feet slowed down. After an unknown amount of time, the clicking sound became extremely loud.
Soon, Ye Sheng's path forward was divided into two, and she had to make a choice.
Ye Sheng held a simple torch to light up the way forward. She looked at the two passages, one large and one small. After thinking about it, she chose to get into the small passage... which was also the direction from which the crackling sound came.
After advancing a few hundred meters, Ye Sheng felt something soft beneath her feet, causing her to retreat quickly.
At the same time, she lowered the torch and illuminated her feet. She saw a black insect the size of a coconut, crawling slowly.
Black bug?
Ye Sheng didn't understand why there were insects in the porcupine rat's nest.
She quickly took out the detector and scanned the black bugs.
'Beep~ Detected a Honeydew Sweetbug! '
A bug she had never heard of.
Ye Sheng dared to kick the Honeydew Sweetbug with her foot until she flipped it over without receiving any attack. Then she stepped over the bug and continued walking forward.
However, the further she went, the more Honeydew Sweetbugs there were.
Until Ye Sheng was so densely packed with Honeydew Sweetbugs under her feet that she could no longer walk. She held a torch and shone a light in a circle. It was like the 'doomsday' of trypophobia!
The crunching sound she had heard was also explained at this time. It was the sound made by Honeydew Sweetbug eating grass leaves.
(￣ー￣)
Ye Sheng was speechless... Could anyone tell her why porcupine rats raised so many insects???
It was a pity that Ye Sheng, a new arrival, was in the mitigation zone and did not fully understand this wasteland world.
But fortunately, she could use technology to change her life.
Ye Sheng took a few steps back to prevent these bugs from crawling on her feet, and then took out the Super Smart Network Watch from her arms... She thought this watch could only be used as a reminder, but now it could be used as an encyclopedia.
She quickly unlocked the super smart network watch, and a blue screen appeared in the air and could be operated at will. Ye Sheng clicked a few times in mid-air to open the wasteland forum.
There was a search function at the top of the forum.
She could enter keywords or search using images.
Ye Sheng chose the latter, then turned on the photo mode, pointed at the sweet bud bug and clicked it. After taking the photo and uploading it, she immediately started searching.
While waiting, Ye Sheng was filled with regret. It would be great if she could have a VIP account on the forum.
Non-VIP users were only allowed to browse the Wasteland Forum for half an hour each month. If the time was exceeded, the screen would be closed directly... and VIP registration required 10,000 base points.
Therefore, Ye Sheng didn't even have a chance to read the gossip news...
How annoying!
When she got rich in the future, she would definitely become a VIP and a krypton gold boss!
The search process was not slow, and the results came quickly. Among the N discussion posts, Ye Sheng clicked on a relatively reliable search result.
[The Honeydew Sweetbug, one of the docile polluted creatures in the wilderness, holds extremely high medicinal value. Renowned for its ability to condense sweet dewdrops in its chrysanthemum-like parts, it serves as a 'dessert processing station' for other contaminated creatures. Often captured and bred in captivity, attempts to breed them in large numbers have failed, with none surviving. Both the Honeydew Sweetbug and its sweet dew have immense value, with a single Honeydew Sweetbug exchangeable for thousands of points, while the sweet dew can be exchanged for over a hundred points.]
(￢_￢)
Chrysanthemum?
Sweet dew??
Dessert processing station???
Ye Sheng was speechless when she read this. A Honeydew Sweetbug crawled in front of her. At the same time, the bug's butt popped, and sprayed out a ball of yellow liquid, which stayed in place quietly.
Presumably, this was Honeydew Sweetbug dew.
Ye Sheng silently lifted the detector and scanned it.
'A drop of sweet dew from the Honeydew Sweetbug! '
