Chapter 002: The Fruit Forest
Chapter 002 Ancient Fruit Forest ()
If you want to hunt the sound wave lizard, you must find a particularly huge fruit tree. Nanxing vaguely remembers that the fruit forest will take at least half a day to get from the Qujian River, and it is easy to take a detour.
"Nanxing, how are you lucky? Fifty earth frogs! You're so deadly. You actually wanted me to hunt fifty earth frogs." Jimmy shook the glass bottle in his hand with a depressed look on his face. This bottle cannot be thrown away at will, and it must be kept for water.
"Ha, you are really unlucky, why don't we change it?" Nan Xing looked loyal and handed out the test questions as if he wanted to put a knife on his friends.
"I'll go! Five sound wave lizards, in comparison, I'm so lucky, I'm simply super man. Stay away from me and don't look at me in a lust. Exam questions are strictly prohibited. The college satellite is watching in outer space!" Jimmy took a few steps back, hugging the glass bottle like a baby.
"Jimmy, thank you for your care over the past few years. After graduation, I'm afraid you will go your separate ways. Time is limited, so let's act quickly! See you after the assessment is over five days. Good luck."
"Brother, I wish you good luck."
The two have a good relationship, but only because of their good relationship. You should know that the federal territory is vast. After graduation, they leave the college and are separated by light years. Most of the students in the college may not meet each other in their entire lives. From then on, they go their separate ways and work hard for themselves.
Xuanyuan Nanxing ran quickly. Since he felt that the three short and one long breathing method could greatly save energy, he has liked this feeling. The sound of wind sounded in his ears, leaves flew by his side, and it was extremely smooth as he flicked.
I ran for more than three hours before I felt tired, which was something that I could not imagine before. Even a little bit of help would change the trajectory of life, and Nanxing believed it without doubt.
After looking at the watch, the direction you chose should be correct, but the forest is getting hotter and hotter.
You must find a place to rest as soon as possible. Doing in the primeval forest must not consume all your energy, as that will be extremely dangerous, because you don’t know when you will encounter danger, and there are only the most basic supplies in your backpack.
Climbing a huge rock, the vision was clear. Nanxing opened his backpack, a box of compressed biscuits, a roll of medical bandages, and a composite crossbow that can be put on his arms, but there are only five crossbow arrows. The top priority in the backpack is a cheap standard laser sword.
There is no need to expect to use the laser sword as you wish. The instructor on the spaceship has explained that in order for students to experience adversity, the laser sword in the backpack is only enough to last for an hour at most. If the battle is too intense, it will consume energy in advance. Never open it randomly for happiness. You must be careful and use it for minutes.
"Water! You can't eat anything, but you can't be without water. It must be pure and not mixed with some bacteria of Iron Hoof Star. I asked me to think about where to get water from." Nan Xing couldn't help but frown, and tried his best to dig out his memory, and after a moment, he smiled.
After five minutes of rest, Nan Xing got up and ran for more than three hours, his clothes were dry. Perhaps his studies were not very good at Jialanxing War Academy, but he inherited the excellent appearance of the Xuanyuan family, with short black hair, divine eyes, and a pretty face. Although he has not yet fully grown up, his appearance is already good. However, this era is about ability and appearance is not suitable for food.
The Iron Hoof Star Primitive Forest is also called the micro-toxic territory. Many organisms here have faint toxins, and some places even contain radioactive substances, so it is crucial to get water.
His body was jumping between the puddles, and Nanxing was looking for a light green mycelium.
Few people know this secret, but after graduation, some students accidentally announced it, saying that the explorers who arrived at the Iron Hoof Star in the early days planted the Aoguo. After hundreds of years, the Aoguo grew in combination with the local mycelium. Although some changes have occurred, the nutritional value is richer. Especially in terms of water conservation, each Aoguo is equivalent to a small kettle.
"Finally found." Nan Xing's body drifted four or five meters away, and his body was as light as a feather.
The federally announced vertical and horizontal jumping method has high requirements for skill. Not to mention fourteen-year-old students, there are not many instructors who can fully master this method. But it is no wonder that the instructors in the War Academy are not of high level, and it is generally good to reach the third-level elite soldiers.
Following the green mycelium, I quickly followed the clues to find five fruits as big as adult fists from the mud. The surface of these fruits is dark green, which is very different from Aoguo at first glance. A hard shell on the surface must be removed to reveal the true peel.
Nanxing pinched hard, and it turned out to be a little light yellow. Five Ao fruits were enough to eat for two days. It should not be difficult to find a few more along the mycelium.
Many surveillance satellites in outer space of Iron Hoof Star locked the students and fed back their every move to the examiner. Wilson was looking at the screen with interest. The picture expanded outward with the Qujian River as the center. The dozen students who ran the farthest appeared, all of whom were usually excellent, as expected.
"Huh? Why don't this little guy remember? What is he doing?" Wilson was slightly stunned, and quickly waved his hand and asked someone to make the picture more refined. It was a black-haired boy looking for something in the mud.
"Big Boss, his name is Xuanyuan Nanxing. He is a student of the 305 graduating class. He usually performs mediocrely. I really don't understand why he ran so far in such a short time, and there is no error in the direction." The instructor below reported the situation casually.
"Performance is mediocre? Try running. The fruit in the mud looks a bit familiar. It's not O'Fruit, right? He must have collected a lot of information before the exam. Someone tried to transplant it hundreds of years ago." Wilson led out the black-haired boy circle as a key observation object. In fact, in addition to having more choices when allocating, good grades also have some small secrets, involving the badge of life.
Nan Xing didn't know that he had become the focus of attention. When he put more than a dozen Aoguos in his backpack, he was full of confidence and embarked on the journey again.
After running for more than ten minutes, I found that it was very close to the Ancient Fruit Forest. It seemed that the first three hours were not wasting energy, but there was nothing to be happy about. The sound wave lizard was extremely difficult to deal with. It was a bad idea to even take his life in it. I was really careless.
Sound wave lizards are known for their cruelty, with a body of about two meters long. They resemble crocodiles on the Earth of the parent planet, but their bodies are smooth and have hooks and claws that can be firmly fixed between huge branches. When they encounter prey, they spit out a large ball of invisible sound waves, which attack and kill with sound.
"Be careful, be careful." Nan Xing raised his heart to his throat and entered the Ancient Fruit Forest. He had already put on his arm crossbow and held the laser sword tightly in his hand, so nervous.
In fact, the Ancient Fruit Tree has a wide coverage in the rainforest, and the probability of encountering a sonic lizard is very small now. This cannot be blamed for Nan Xing being timid. Although he has gained his memory for more than ten years, he is the leader in the end, so he needs to work hard to hone for a while, otherwise this advantage will eventually become ordinary as he grows older.
There are a large number of leaves piled up on the ground, and occasionally you will encounter rotten fruits. The deeper you go into the Ancient Fruit Forest, the more you can feel a dark and corrosive atmosphere.
It was originally very quiet around, and a harsh twitch suddenly sounded above his head. Nan Xing was so scared that he took a few steps back. After finding that there was no sound wave lizard, he patted his chest and gasped: "It turned out to be a thorn bird. Breathing, breathing, relaxing, relaxing, and tension are taboos in the battle."
Perhaps the memories I got today have been effective again, my mood slowly calmed down, and my breathing became calm. From a distance, Nanxing's back seemed to be filled with a tough guy far beyond his age.
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Nanxing crawled forward and he found the first sonic lizard.
The sound wave lizard hangs its body with its thick tail, disguises itself as a fruit-absorbing branch, and is napping with its eyes closed. They already exist at the top of the food chain at the Iron Hoof Star. The camouflage allows them to hunt better and avoid attacks on the only natural enemy, Oyster Red Hawk.
At this moment, Nan Xing was extremely calm in his heart. He was so used to seeing creatures that were stronger than sound wave lizards in his memory that he threw away all his tension and fear during the process of going deep into the Ancient Fruit Forest. When he was really facing the sound wave lizard, there was only a clear light in his mind.
"Five crossbow arrows can trigger a weak explosion. Sound wave lizards have thick skin and flesh, but their eyes are weak. Only by creating movement and stoking its attention, and nailing a crossbow arrow on the moment they open their eyes, so that they can cause severe damage. If they fail, they must retreat quickly and find another way. I heard that the graduation score will be increased if they complete the exam in advance or exceed the amount. If the hunt is completed successfully, there will be a second one, so I will also compete for it." Thinking of this, Nanxing adjusted his breathing evenly, and his eyes focused on his prey.
At this time, I had a unique feeling, as if I had gone deep into the jungle thousands of times, and it seemed that I had shot crossbow arrows thousands of times, and everything around me seemed to be reflected in my mind, and I felt a fascinating sense of control.
It was time to start. Nanxing threw out a thick branch prepared in advance, and the branches drew an arc in the air and hit the big tree where the sound wave lizard lived.
The big guy made a thunder sound in his stomach, then turned his head and opened his eyes.
“It’s now.”
In an instant, a sharp cold light was triggered. The arm crossbow issued by the academy was 350 meters in range. In order to increase the shooting force, Nanxing was not far from the tree, about fifty meters away, making the arrow urgent and fast.
"boom……"
A small ball of flame burst out from the tree. The flame was incandescent and the temperature should be extremely high. Then it sounded like a thunderous howling.
Nan Xing felt the attack succeed, and he slammed up and quickly climbed up the Ancient Fruit Tree. Even if the crossbow arrow successfully nailed into the eye socket of the sound wave lizard, it would not be enough to be fatal in an instant. It would be best to bleed under its ribs, so that this hunting would be perfect.
"Ao, ao, ao..."
