Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Today's danger zone was still filled with an uneasy atmosphere, but fortunately she did not encounter any drones, and the system space quickly locked onto the location of the A-level demon species.

The danger zone with thick white fog is the closest to the "forbidden zone", so it is difficult for drones to reach this place. Before the drone flies here, a large area of ​​twisted bodies can be seen in front of it, and tree roots are also wriggling restlessly in the soil.

When I walked in, there was a bad smell in the air. If I was not mistaken, it was the smell of excrement.

The blood vines on the back of Si's hand began to form a dense web in the air. The branches that wanted to attack her probably sensed the breath of the advanced mutant plants and retracted their branches in an instant.

A cold gaze came down, causing Gu Tongwan to look up suddenly, and he happened to meet the eyes of a demon species that was completely black, had fangs and a pair of yellow-brown eyes, and was squatting on the tree trunk opposite him.

Almost in a flash, Gu Tongwan loaded the pistol that appeared from the space in his hand and fired it in one breath without any hesitation. The whole action was so fast that it was astonishing.

The pistol with a silencer hit the tree trunk with a dull sound. A dark shadow flashed above his head. Gu Tongwan instantly felt a chill on his back, so he immediately rolled to the side.

A half-meter-long claw mark suddenly appeared where she had just stood.

She threw the gun in her hand away instantly and concentrated her mental power to activate the blood vines. In an instant, the blood vines changed into different forms. The blood vines that were originally like a sharp line of sight were like rays, shooting towards the direction of the demon species at an extremely fast speed, and each one carried a fierce murderous intent.

The demon species obviously did not expect the existence of the blood vines. The sense of crisis it instinctively sensed made it jump away, but it did not expect that there was such a blood-colored ray in the other direction.

This time, Gu Tongwan added her own mental power. It can be said that it was the first time she tried to accept the blood vine into her spiritual world. This feeling was different from the previous simple control of the blood vine. This time the blood vine had its own consciousness, as if it could guess or predict her instructions. Every time the demon tried to escape, countless rays would follow.

However, Gu Tongwan also discovered that the distance of the blood vine's rays cannot be too far, only about ten meters or so, but within this range it belongs to the absolute area of ​​the blood vine, and the prey trapped inside cannot break free from the blood vine.

The demon had probably never encountered such a situation before. It let out a howl and pounced towards Gu Tongwan's face.

But it was only a matter of a moment, and he was suddenly pierced by two sharp wounds on his chest.

The special demon species made a shrill sound, and the air flow around it began to become turbulent. Gu Tongwan cried out inwardly, "Oh no!", so he did not hesitate any more, and while the blood vines were strangling him, he quickly pulled out his baton.

"puff"

The tip of the modified baton penetrated directly into the middle of the forehead of the special demon species, and when it was pulled out, it even pulled out a stream of yellowish-brown sticky brain matter.

[Successfully killed the A-level special demon species, and was rewarded with 8000 points. The points have been issued. The current system points are:]

Looking at the blood vines that greedily devoured the blood of the demon, Gu Tongwan calmly used a machete to split open the demon's head, and then he saw a light pink crystal core inside. This crystal was of good quality and should be able to be sold for a large sum of money on the black market.

After the blood vine had absorbed enough, Gu Tongwan took a closer look at the blood vine.

The blood vine's rays in the air seemed to be thicker than before.

The blood vine's current superpowers are perception power, psychic power, and entanglement and devouring power.

Among them, she is most proficient in using the perception ability, mainly because the blood vines are parasitic on her, and their thoughts and actions are symbiotic with her, or in a parasitic state. She can always sense the blood vines' anger, joy and even fear one by one. Moreover, because of her perception ability, she can instantly sense the existence of nearby threats through the blood vines, which allows her to quickly avoid some dangerous areas when hunting.

Psychic abilities are the ones she is least proficient in using, but also the most harmful. The blood vine can rely on split branches to perform mental control, and the branches have confusing behavior. Ordinary people or those with insufficient mental strength can hide automatically. In other words, if you want to control the other party, the blood vine must use branches to parasitize and rely on branches to control the target. If the level of the blood vine gradually increases, you can also use mental power directly. Gu Tongwan can only achieve parasitic control at present. She is not capable of real mental control like Shen Lian or relying on the use of mental pressure to attack the target.

As for the third ability of entanglement and devouring, she has become proficient in cooperating with the blood vines during this period of time. It is also the most direct way for the blood vines to devour their prey. While entangled, it can also suck the blood of living bodies. If it encounters a prey it likes, the blood vines will devour it directly.

All in all, this scary little thing has been parasitic in the body for several months. Gu Tongwan went from being terrified at first to gradually accepting it, and now this little thing has become a means for her to protect herself.

Somewhere in the danger zone

On the second day of the hunting competition, one third of the first group of people had been eliminated from the first day's competition. The reasons for those who were eliminated to withdraw from the competition were mainly due to fear of the big forest in the north or accidental injuries. Most of the people who can still hold on to the second day are amateur hunters or psychics who have had experience in the first hunting competition.

A team of three men and two women, consisting of three C-level and two B-level hunters, was resting under a non-threatening banyan tree in the danger zone.

There are many teams like this one from the Hunter Guild that form teams and make it to the final round. There are also some amateur players who will start to form teams when they are in the safe zone. After the first week of elimination system is over, the remaining players will act alone.

Xu Mei had just joined the hunter guild for two months. She was a water-type mutant, whose power was awakened last year. When she first awakened, she could only produce a thin column of water, which at most could fill two 500ML plastic bottles. Later, she accidentally killed a seriously injured and dying B-class demon, and successfully obtained a green crystal core. Through the relationship with an acquaintance, she used this crystal core to upgrade herself. She joined the guild again, starting from the lowest level D-class hunter. In less than a year, she had reached the position of C-class hunter. However, only she knew how difficult the process of promotion was. If it were not for the high salary of hunters and the various welfare subsidies provided by the guild every month, she really did not want to do this kind of job that puts her head on the line at all times.

It was very likely that they would spend the night here. Xu Mei took out the backpack from her back, which contained a military dagger, a leather water bottle made of a mutant rhino, a dozen packs of compressed biscuits, a few packs of dried rat meat and two cans of rat meat. The rest were two bottles of extremely precious recovery agents distributed by the guild.

Sitting next to Xu Mei was another young girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a round face and a slightly plump figure. She had earth-related abilities and it was also her first time participating in this kind of competition. She looked very nervous.

Xu Mei also knew why she was nervous. After all, this little girl had just been upgraded to a C-class hunter last month. Moreover, the guild station required the little girl to drink recovery potions and train for a week in order to apply for promotion to a medium-sized hunter guild, and she barely succeeded in upgrading.

However, the guild members knew very well that this little girl did not have the strength of a C-level hunter at all. She was only at the D-level.

Plus……

Xu Mei looked at the upper right corner and saw that the drone hovering there had been broadcasting live for more than three hours, from this morning until almost noon.

Xu Mei also knew that the danger zone should not be unused with too many people in it, so she was afraid that they had encountered it by accident this time. So she just happened to keep a close eye on them. After all, a team hunting in the danger zone could satisfy the audience's curiosity better than the unchallenging safe zone.

"Sister Mei, how long will this thing last with us?" Zhang Yiran complained in a low voice.

Xu Mei bit the meat jerky with a strong smell in her mouth. After swallowing it with difficulty, she said, "It can probably last a day. When we go to solve the hygiene problem, we should be careful and find a place to hide."

Zhang Yiran's face turned ugly instantly, because she encountered this thing just when she wanted to go to the toilet this morning. She was so anxious that she almost cried. Fortunately, this thing should be controlled by an artificial system. Later, when they gestured to go to the toilet again, the drone did not continue to follow and shoot.

The three male team members next to them were setting up a stove to prepare today's dinner. They took out the half pot of water that Xu Mei had just transformed, put some high-temperature dried potatoes into the pot, and then it became a simple potato soup.

"Huh? What's that smell?" A B-level psychic who was wiping a knife nearby vaguely sensed an appetizing fragrance flowing in the air.
