You can evolve by surviving in the Ark

Advancing along the strange stone pillars, the road converges and points to the only cave entrance in front, from which a strange green energy leaks out, fluctuating in cycles, which is spectacular.

The entrance to the cave is not big, just high enough for both humans and raptors to enter. In front of you, there is a huge floating luminous body, and the magnificent energy fluctuations come from this.

Qiao Liang jumped off the raptor and swiped the implant on his wrist at it.

"[Hunter of Ancient Artifacts]: A hunter with firm faith who will never give up until he captures his prey."

Li Hongying clicked her tongue in surprise.

Qiao Liang picked up the artifact, and the energy fluctuations around him suddenly turned into dots of light, overflowing into the air.

This artifact is not heavy, but it is a bit bulky. Qiao Liang pretended that he couldn't fit the animal skin backpack on his body, so he had to hold it in his arms.

"Let's go!" Qiao Liang said to Li Hongying with a smile.

The purpose of this trip was successfully accomplished, and it was time to return home. After staying in the underground cave for a while, I felt a little depressed, so I had better get out quickly.

I don’t know how Tuotuo has been doing alone in Crescent Bay for so many days, and what kind of reaction she will have when she sees the artifact and the raptor.

Qiao Liang thought about it and felt something dripping on his face. He reached out and touched it and smelled it. The horrible smell was like takeaway food that had been left out for several days.

He raised his head and saw the ancient monitor lizard climbing on the top of the cave, right above his head. It was looking at me sternly, and what was dripping just now was its saliva.

It had already adjusted its position, released its sharp claws gripping the rock, and rushed towards him from top to bottom!

Qiao Liang only had time to stretch out his hand to stop him, and a strong pain came from his left arm.

"Qiao Liang!!!"

Li Hongying rose up, wielded her original intention, and chopped down the six-meter-long giant lizard with one strike. The surrounding velociraptors swarmed up and killed it.

She hurriedly took the torch and looked after Qiao Liang's wounds. Fortunately, it was the left arm. The indestructible implant blocked its teeth, but the monitor lizard's amazing biting force still left a clear and huge tooth mark on the left forearm.

Each tooth socket penetrated deep into the flesh, and the wounds were filled with the saliva of the ancient monitor lizard and unknown impurities. The pain, which was worse than the injury looked like, kept stimulating Qiao Liang's spirit, making his face pale.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a minor injury. Let's go out first and then talk about it."

Qiao Liang saw that Li Hongying had taken the water bag and was about to help him clean his wound, so he waved his hand to indicate no need. An injury of this degree only counts the loss of health points when it is placed on a game character. Just go back and pour some medicinal wine on it and it will be fine.

"Cough cough cough." Qiao Liang felt his throat was a little itchy and coughed. But the itch did not get relieved. Instead, it spread at an extremely fast speed, covering his throat, his trachea, and his lungs.

"Fuck, this is...acute rabies."

Qiao Liang gritted his teeth.

In the Ark game, attacks by clawed bats and ancient monitor lizards can trigger this disease. This disease is a 90-second debuff in the game. The character will lose health, stamina, and water at an extremely fast rate, and has the added effect of reducing the damage caused and amplifying the damage taken.

It's okay, it'll be fine in 90 seconds. Qiao Liang thought about it and took out the medicinal wine from the animal skin backpack. The punishment for this disease is not harsh. In the game, he drank some medicinal wine and got over it without paying any attention to it.

"Cough cough cough..."

Qiao Liang looked at Li Hongying and found that her beautiful face was full of pain and she was coughing violently.

This virus is contagious.

An unknown premonition arose in Qiao Liang's heart.

……

"Tuo Tuo, I want to send it!"

It was getting late, and Tuo Futuo looked at the remaining food and became worried.

The food left behind by Qiao Liang and Li Hongying before they left was sufficient, and Tuotuo's appetite was not large. However, the fish and dragons in the shallows have a lot to eat.

Its size determines that its appetite is several times that of Tuotuo, and there are three of them.

They are so delicious. Tuotuo sighed silently.

What to do next? Riding a fish dragon into the sea to catch fish? But when she fell into the sea of ​​blood that day, the cold feeling of gradually moving away from the light and being enveloped in darkness made her full of fear of the sea.

Decided! Tuo Tuo also wants to hunt!

As a female college student who lived in a peaceful era, she still couldn't bear to take away the lives of other creatures and listen to their dying cries.

But in order to survive, Tuotuo knew that she had no choice at all.

Tuotuo walked to the beach alone, his target was a wild Parasaurolophus strolling leisurely. She already knew that Parasaurolophus was timid and would only run away when attacked and would not fight back at all.

The reason why she was alone and did not ride on Tudou was because she felt in her heart that after all, this was Tudou's sibling, and maybe they knew each other...it might not be good if it saw it.

Tuotuo thinks he should be able to hunt this kind of dinosaur...right?

Qiao Liang also helped her tame Tudou. It was her first time hunting a dinosaur alone, so she was still a little frightened. Before the time travel, she didn't dare to fight anyone who was only a head taller, but now she had to fight a dinosaur that was two meters tall.

Come on Tuo Tuo! You can survive in such a world alone!

Tuotuo cheered himself up, feeling overwhelmed with emotion, but still had the usual indifferent expression on his face. She aimed her crossbow at the unsuspecting Parasaurolophus and pulled the trigger!

But the shot was a little crooked.

The crossbow arrow passed over the head of Parasaurolophus, fell under the influence of gravity, and hit an Ankylosaurus in the butt.

Oh my god, old swan... Tuotuo's brain shut down and went blank.

The Ankylosaurus let out a cry of pain, turned his head and saw Tuotuo holding a crossbow. Behind it, three Ankylosaurus also turned here, and they rushed towards her while waving their tail hammers together!

This kind of medium-sized dinosaur weighing tons ran together, and Tuo Tuo felt that the ground was shaking.

It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over...

She ran away.

“I’m a Tuo Tuo, I’m going to send it!!!”

……

Qiao Liang and Li Hongying leaned weakly against the cold rock wall.

Feeling the rapidly declining vitality in his body, Qiao Liang looked at the medicinal wine in his hand with a trace of struggle on his expression.

Half an hour passed and he had already drank two portions of the medicinal wine. This was the third portion of the medicinal wine.

He only cooked five portions in total, and the animal skin water bag leaked some more. Li Hongying has two copies, and he has three copies.

Qiao Liang smiled bitterly in his heart. He forgot that in the game, he had 50 resistance and 600 health points. If he got a disease, he could just drink some medicinal wine and get over it, or even not drink it.

But even the game characters who initially only have 100 health points and 0 resistance are fierce men who can break trees with their bare hands. Now, how resistant is his body, a social beast who sits in the office every day? Life value, is it one hundred?

The so-called ninety-second disease buff is because one hour in the game is one day. Converted to 24 hours, that should be...ahem! cough!

Qiao Liang felt that he was about to cough out his lungs. The pain spread from his left arm to his whole body, from the skin to the bone marrow. He is no longer sure that the disease will disappear at some point.

He finally drank the last medicinal wine in his hand. If he didn't drink it, the strength to raise his arms would almost disappear.

Drinking the medicinal wine really made him feel that his physical condition had recovered. He couldn't tell whether he had regained his strength or not, because his body, which had just recovered a little, was rapidly weakening under the attack of the virus, heading towards the end of exhaustion step by step.

He thought that if he could go out, he must make a glass bottle or a military kettle. The leakage of the animal skin water bag is too much. If only there could be more medicinal wine...

If you can go out, you must make more medicinal wine. This is not enough...

If you can get out, be sure to prepare the secondary antidote. This drug can treat acute rabies, but it requires leech blood found only in swamps...

If you can get out, you must make iron armor...

If...

Qiao Liang remembered the game group named "Ark Dormitory" before time travel. If he said in the group that he brought six raptors and overturned his car in the Hunter Artifact Cave, everyone would definitely laugh at him...

But there is everything in this world, except if. He felt like he couldn't hold it any longer.

Fuck, dying like this is like a joke.

He suddenly felt that the surroundings were a little quiet, something was missing, the sound of Li Hongying's cough was missing. He looked at Li Hongying's position and found that she could no longer support the weight of her body and collapsed to the ground.

Qiao Liang was shocked and hurriedly supported his body and leaned over, pulling Li Hongying from the cold ground into his arms. Her forehead was frighteningly hot, but her hands were as cold as corpses. She could only exhale weakly, she almost didn't have the strength to cough anymore.

Qiao Liang was still confused. Li Hongying's condition was much worse than his own. But he soon understood. He saw her holding the animal skin water bag filled with medicinal wine tightly in her hand, and she was still trying her best to hand it over.

"you drink……"

Qiao Liang's heart was touched. This silly girl only drank one portion. She knew that this medicinal wine could kill her, so she was reluctant to drink it.

"You... Tuo Tuo... are also... ahem... fine..."

Li Hongying was still trying hard to say something.

"I...ahem! I miss my master...my parents...I...want to go home..."

Qiao Liang looked at Li Hongying, a little at a loss.

This woman was the most powerful human being he had ever seen in his life. She trusted him so much, because with just one word from him, she came to explore the dark underground, and now because of his mistake...

She is literally dying.

"Stop talking, cough... just drink it."

Qiao Liang gently opened Li Hongying's mouth, and carefully poured the medicinal wine little by little, fearing that she would choke.

"Drink up and let's go home together."

The despicable hesitation in his heart only lasted for a few seconds before he put it down.

So what if a person survives alone? If he goes back alone, what will Tuo Tuo think of him?

His Aquamarine Star, his home, might have been destroyed long ago. What's the point of going back alone?

How can a person’s ark be interesting?

He looked at Li Hongying tenderly. If he hadn't traveled to this world, he might never have met a woman willing to sacrifice for him in his entire life.

Now he has.

Maybe we will die together, so let's die together.

Li Hongying lay obediently in his arms, like a cat being fed by its owner. After the medicinal wine was gone, a trace of human color appeared on her pale face.

That's all.

Qiao Liang hugged her tightly, trying to warm her cold limbs a little, but his body temperature was quickly lost as his body functions were destroyed.

Cough...cough cough...

Qiao Liang coughed violently. He stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and felt some liquid spurting out of his mouth and falling on the palm of his hand.

He put his hand in front of his eyes. Is the red liquid medicinal wine or his blood?

Qiao Liang suddenly thought of something again. He used up his last strength to open his animal skin backpack and took out the anesthetic inside. This was one of the ingredients for brewing medicinal wine. He vaguely remembered that this thing in the game seemed to be able to restore blood.

However, the medicinal wine has been cooked at high temperature. This anesthetic is made from real rotten meat and black berries mixed and fermented. Just by smelling it, Qiao Liang felt like he was going to die.

You should hurry up and take a few more bites later. After all, this is an anesthetic with the dosage standard for anesthetizing a dinosaur. If you move slowly, you may faint.

It may be that I fainted, my throat seemed to be broken by coughing, my lungs hurt, and my whole body hurt.

Qiao Liang looked at the green anesthetic and his expression became ferocious.

……

In the microscopic world that Qiao Liang couldn't see, this terrible virus was raging in his body, multiplying at an incredible speed. All cells they come into contact with are easily killed and destroyed, and the process of invading organs is unstoppable.

However, as time goes by, every surviving cell evolves crazily under the influence of unknown forces every minute and every second. In just 10 minutes, the attack and defense changed, and these evolved super cells hunted the remaining viruses throughout the body.

Like a hunter.
