Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Death paddock.

New death paddock.

The towering execution posts were shaped like prison bars to imprison prisoners, but at this moment, the ones used to restrain humans were not ropes, but skins peeled off and twisted into strands of their own kind.

The fog men kept kneeling around the torture pillar, just like those bloody rituals on the ancient vast land.

Lu Meng also saw clearly the fog man enjoying the sacrifice in the center.

Different from ordinary fog men, it is stronger and has a big head.

The head is not long, but flat, with two protruding eyes distributed on both sides, and the distance between the eyes is elongated.

Like a hammerhead shark.

This is the characteristic of soldier bees.

——Heavy fog man.

This kind of eye distribution allows such creatures to have almost no blind spots.

If it hadn't been gnawing feverishly, it might have discovered Lu Meng.

Lu Meng finally saw the leader of this fog man group with his own eyes, and he didn't even know how many fog man teams there were like this.

It was not unexpected to find people in heavy fog.

But the worse news was that Lu Meng saw a long-handled knife on its back.

This is a long pole weapon with a large blade tied to a slender wooden pole.

Because of its long attack range, it is very suitable for use against animals. Western hive tribes often equip this weapon to defend against ferocious predators near the hive, such as long-necked beaks.

The blade of this long-handled knife is freshly sharpened.

Fog Man does not have this kind of production capacity.

The time when the first batch of Fog Men appeared cannot be verified, but most of the weapons they used at that time have been rusted and worn by the passage of time. Only thick iron rods and other blunt weapons can still survive to this day.

Lu Meng didn't know how they maintained such a large number after losing their queen.

Maybe asexual reproduction.

But this heavy fog man is undoubtedly a newly transformed soldier bee.

'Looks like something has happened to the Western Hive Tribe. ’

Lu Meng felt very sorry.

This confirmed his initial thoughts. The Fog Man had blocked all three sides outside the hub. The only remaining east side, which was full of bandits and robbers, might barely survive, but it wasn't much better.

Unless you have the support of a strong armed force or personal strength, it will be difficult to force a breakthrough.

At the hub, Lu Meng could only think of three such forces: Fangshi, Lang Ninja Group and Holy Kingdom.

Brotherhood is not that interesting.

‘It seems that we can only try to use the power of the Wave Ninja Group again. ’

Let’s not talk about Fangshi, this is almost a constant “-100” relationship.

As for the Holy Kingdom, even if they could deceive them, they would not be able to escort themselves to their enemy country, Shaq.

'But I think the Lang Ninja Group has already discovered something wrong with my identity. I don't know if I will get beaten if I go to them again this time. ’

Lu Meng also knew that even if he didn't use the Lang Ninja Group last time, he couldn't use his identity as the "Northern Messenger" as an excuse this time.

Requesting material support and requesting armed escort have completely different weights.

Even if he deceived him and said that he wanted to develop the branch in the south, Leiber would not agree and was not qualified to make the decision. He himself was at the forefront of the south. He had not yet established a stable footing and could not expand blindly.

Fortunately, strictly speaking, he has not tricked the Lang Ninja Group, and even helped them develop allies in places and times they didn't know about.

Even the crossbow was bought by him with real money.

It’s true that you should leave a line in your life so that we can meet each other easily in the future.

‘I’m going to come up with new chips this time. ’

Lu Meng thought.

What he regretted most about this matter was not yet here.

Even if there are fog people around, obstacles from the city, and suspicion from the Lang Ninja Group... Lu Meng has the confidence to leave the hub, it's just a matter of how much effort it takes.

However.

What happened to the Western Hive Tribe.

If it was a foregone conclusion, there was nothing Lu Meng could do.

The process of fogging people is irreversible.

I haven’t seen the scenery over there yet.

After finally surviving, of course he wanted to see with his own eyes, walk around familiar and unfamiliar places, and chat with people he hadn't seen for a long time and met for the first time.

Instead of seeing the world full of inarticulate fools like Fog Man.

‘Who attacked Queen West Bee? ’

Lu Meng opened the panel while being wary of Zhongwu Ren.

[Name: Lu Beiyou (Lu Meng)

Race: Human (Scorched Earth Sons)

Basic attributes: Strength 22, Speed ​​20, Toughness 20, Constitution 21, Perception 20

Actual combat level: 36 (warrior)

Melee Skills: Machete 19 (Basic)

Ranged Skills: Crossbow 16 (Basic)

Life skills: Lockpicking 15 (basic), Master 19 (basic), Stealth 19 (basic), Medical 17 (basic), Cooking 12 (basic), Engineering 2 (entry)

Effective module (1/1): experience bonus (3 times)]

After this period of cultivation and training, his basic attributes have all broken through the threshold of level 20 and entered a new level.

From now on, every step he takes is approaching or even surpassing the physical limits of primitive humans.

Before recovering from the injury to his left hand, Lu Meng was training in the use of a single sword, and the [Speed] attribute increased much more than [Strength]. But recently, his strength growth has gradually returned to its previous range.

He also did not miss out on the crossbow training, which also allowed him to achieve a breakthrough in his perceptual abilities and also strengthened his concentration.

What's more important is that the three skills of [Machete], [Mastery], and [Stealth] have all reached level 19.

"Machete" represents the proficiency in using machete series weapons. It is Lu Meng's most important attack method at present.

"Excellent hands" represents the proficiency of hand movements. Once the proficiency is high, it will have a basic bonus for any work that requires the use of both hands. Stealing is the most direct use.

"Stealth" represents the ability to hide oneself and track assassinations. With the convergence of breath and the use of psychological suggestions, it can even reduce one's own presence and improve the effect of camouflage. It is a magical skill whether it is to save one's life or attack.

Now they can all reach level 20 "proficiency" at any time.

Lu Meng still remembers his current task.

It is not an urgent task in reality, but a "task achievement" assigned to him by the system.

[“Proficiency in a skill is the foundation of one’s career.”

Achievement: Reach level 20 "Proficient" in any skill level (not completed).

Reward 1: "The foundation of one's life": a permanent bonus. The first skill to reach level 20 will increase its proficiency rate by 50%.

Reward 2: The authority is upgraded to C level. The effect is: module slot +1, unlocking higher-level (C level) modules, and the modules can be replaced.

Subsequent tasks will be released when the player's actual combat level reaches level 40 (Martial Master). 】

The permanent bonus of "The Foundation of the Body" is a multiplier and can be stacked with his experience module.

Then comes the time to choose your path.

——Machete hero, thief or assassin.

Under Lu Meng's careful planning, he only needs to complete one more skill use with corresponding difficulty to upgrade this skill to level 20, complete achievements, receive bonuses, and unlock new module slots.

"Kaka...ka."

The heavy fog man stopped.

The human body was not eaten.

——If you look carefully, you can still see that his chest is floating slightly.

See it.

All the fog people stopped kneeling and gradually stood up.

The heavy fog man's two big eyes also locked onto one spot.

But it was not in the direction where Lu Meng was.

There are others here.

Thanks to book friend 20180628191141599 for the reward! Suddenly it occurred to me that it would be useless to replace the skeleton's head, but also to add some engine oil to the brain so that it would not get stuck - thank you all for your support and encouragement, there will be another chapter tonight.
