Chapter 11 - Clean Up
The next morning.
Lu Chengming found a set of chain mail and asked Xu Zihao to wear it.
"Brother, are you going to take me out for a war?" Xu Zihao looked confused.
"It's similar to fighting, ahha-" Lu Chengming yawned, "If you don't wear armor, the giant bug can poke a hole in you at random."
"Then, can I come back alive..." Xu Zihao suddenly became nervous, "Do you want to say goodbye to my girlfriend first?"
Lu Chengming couldn't help but chuckled: "It's not that dangerous. I will protect you. I'll take you there to familiarize you with the environment."
"Ah-that's good!" Xu Zihao had seen Lu Chengming's ability, so he happily put on a chain mail and a helmet.
Lu Chengming handed over another silver metal axe, "Can you use this thing?"
It is about 60 cm long and is also a creature of the Great Xia civilization.
Xu Lei took it and weighed it in his hand, feeling the weight was appropriate.
The axe handle is engraved with patterns that increase friction, which is also very comfortable to hold.
"What's the point of not using the axe? Just chop it!" he grinned.
"The axe has many functions and can be used for hunting. In addition to melee combat, you can also throw it. I have teaching materials. You can practice it slowly in the future." Lu Chengming patted Xu Lei's shoulder, "This axe is very precious, and you can use it for you for the time being, don't lose it."
"Brother, don't worry..." Xu Lei nodded and asked again: "What if it is used up?"
"The material is extremely hard and cannot be broken when used normally, let's go."
When he arrived at the gate, Lu Chengming used his work card to open the gate.
To prevent accidents, the bunker door adopts a variety of ways to open the door.
In addition to the card swiping induction lock, there is also a set of electronic password locks.
Even if all of those two sets are broken, there is also a third set of extremely durable rotary mechanical password locks.
Of course, no one except Lu Chengming knew the door opening code.
The two left the bunker and advanced southwest.
Xu Zihao continued to show his talkative nature and kept talking along the way.
"Brother, why didn't you see a big bug along the way?"
"I often clean up the large insects near the bunker." Lu Chengming replied patiently.
"Brother, why should I wear armor?"
"Because the place we are going is a bit remote and is also very suitable for large insects to settle down and put on armor just in case."
"Oh, how far do we have to go?"
"Not far away, we will arrive soon, aha--" Lu Chengming yawned continuously.
"Brother, why do you always yawn? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Oh, I basically didn't sleep. I did push-ups in the middle of the night..." Lu Chengming sighed heavily.
"I understand, brother, take care of his health..."
"Oh...what did you say?" Lu Chengming didn't react for a moment.
"Nothing is nothing..." Xu Zihao scratched his head with a silly smile.
After walking about a kilometer, a stone city wall that was hundreds of meters long and six or seven meters high appeared in front of me.
The walls are covered with vines, but they still look very strong.
There is also a two-story tower in the middle of the city wall, which is obviously an ancient enemy-defying building.
Lu Chengming said, "This is the ruins of the ancient Great Wall. I plan to use this place to build a stronghold. Then, a farm will be opened up around the stronghold."
In fact, he once reclaimed a small piece of farmland at the entrance of the bunker, but because he was too lazy to take care of it, he was soon occupied by wild plants.
"Oh—" I don't know if Xu Zihao understood it, but he kept nodding anyway.
"Be careful, there were giant insects who used the enemy building as a nest." Lu Chengming instructed him, pulled out the Jingzhe Sword and walked over.
"Okay, okay." Xu Zihao followed closely and muttered: "Brother, can you teach me how to kill insects?"
Lu Chengming just said: "I will teach you if there is a suitable opportunity."
Xu Zihao said again: "Isn't it possible today? Maybe a big bug has moved here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a giant spider rushed out of the enemy building!
Its body is about one meter long and eight thick insect feet look many times stronger than humans.
It has an ugly appearance, thick hair all over, and a total of eight eyes of different sizes on the head.
What's even more scary is that the end of each insect foot has sharp claws that are shaped like sickles.
Lu Chengming's face changed slightly, "It's the sickle-clawed wolf spider..."
He is fierce by nature, quick to move, can run and jump, and has a strong toxicity.
"Back back!" Lu Chengming shouted loudly and took the initiative to attack the sickle-clawed evil wolf spider.
The giant spider jumped up and rushed towards Lu Chengming from above.
Snap!
A cold light flashed, and Lu Chengming split the giant spider in half with just one knife.
The speed of the knife and the force are so strong that it is far beyond the reach of people.
The sickle-clawed wolf spider fell into two pieces and fell to the ground, while the insect feet were still twitching.
"Even if these insects cut off their heads and cut their bodies, they still have certain ability to move. They must be careful." Lu Chengming said, and added a few more stabs to completely chop the giant spider.
"Brother, you took action too quickly, I didn't see clearly..." Xu Zihao came up to watch the giant spider's corpse.
He was very brave, no wonder he dared to use a wooden stick to knock on the tongstone.
"Next time, this giant spider is too dangerous and must be solved as soon as possible. It is not suitable for you to demonstrate." Lu Chengming shook off the green insect blood on the blade, "By the way, I have always forgotten to ask you, do you have any specialties?"
"What are your specialties?" Xu Zihao scratched his head and smiled silly, "Others say that my specialties are crow's mouth..."
"Ah? Then try to stop talking..." Lu Chengming couldn't help but exclaim.
The attribute of the crow's mouth belongs to the category of metaphysics and cannot be explained by science.
"Okay, brother." Xu Zihao agreed, "I just want to ask again, how big can this kind of spider grow? Is there any bigger one?"
"This is just a medium size, and there is indeed a bigger one..." Lu Chengming said, and saw another bigger one crawling out of the enemy building.
It's twice as big as the first spider!
Scythe clawed wolf spiders usually live alone, and they only live in groups in rare cases, such as when mating...
This Xu Zihao is really a crow's mouth!
The second giant spider swept down the city wall and rushed straight towards him.
Instead of jumping up and rushing to eat, it waved its sickle claws and tilted towards Lu Chengming.
Lu Chengming cut off the swept worm foot with a knife, but was hit by another worm foot and flew out on the spot.
The black gold robe of the Great Xia King can bounce off metal attacks from the air, but in the face of biological attacks, it is a layer of black gold armor.
Before Lu Chengming got up, the giant spider had already rushed in front of him and pressed him to the ground.
Seeing this, Xu Zihao mustered up the courage to rush forward and slashed an axe at the giant spider's stomach.
Puff!
The axe blade easily cuts the giant spider's abdomen and also cuts its egg bag.
In an instant, countless young spiders the size of fists rushed out of the egg bag, densely packed and running around, extremely terrifying.
Although Xu Zihao was brave, he had never seen such a scene before. He immediately shouted and jumped away.
When the little spider dispersed, the giant spider still pressed against Lu Chengming, and both sides remained motionless.
Xu Zihao felt panicked and said in surprise: "Brother! You won't just be so angry..."
"Shut up!" Lu Chengming suddenly yelled, "Shut up!"
Chapter completed!
