Ancient Invasion [End Times]

The one hundred and second day after the invasion · Before entering the miasma

A group of people simply had breakfast.

Some yellow fruits that Lin Qian found were squeezed on the sliced ​​hare meat, sweet and sour, wrapped in fat and oil and roasted in the fire, the aroma came out.

The meat of the wild rabbit is firm and tender, without too much smell. After being wrapped in grass leaves and grilled by Du Nanrong like the previous grilled fish, it still has a little fragrance.

In general, it is very close to the natural taste.

Luo Xiaonan chewed the piece of hare meat he was given, and greatly praised Lin Qian who caught the rabbit and found wild fruits.

The child's undisguised admiration and admiration made Lin Qian flattered to hear it.

Even though the traps he made could not catch anything in all likelihood, it was a matter of luck and had nothing to do with his trap-making skills.

It is worthy of praise.

After eating a very primitive barbecue, Cheng Sheng briefly outlined the idea of ​​the scale knife that came to mind this morning.

To put it simply, it is to use the evolved scales and teeth of the arapaima, combined with stones of suitable size, to make a cold weapon similar to a claw knife.

The radian of the fish scale is a ready-made blade, its hardness and toughness are just right, and the hard part of the surface has fine wrinkles, which increases the ductility of the hardness.

The production of scale-made claw knives requires the cooperation of Zhang Jiuzhang, who uses his ability to manipulate metals to bend the fish scales into a certain arc, and then Duan Yi divides the fish scales into slices.

Since Zhang Jiuzhang's ability only works on metals, this just ensures that the blades they need to use are parts with high metal content.

The cut fish scales are firmly cut into the original stone, hollowed out into a circle in the middle of the stone, and polished to a smooth edge around it, which serves as a simple handle.

The sharp fish teeth are cut into the other end of the handle, which acts as a double edge.

The difficulty in making this kind of crude claw knife cold weapon does not lie in how to make and cut the double blades, but in the grinding and making of the handle.

After Cheng Sheng explained the points of attention in detail, Lin Qian and Xu Ying began to practice.

The reason why Cheng Sheng thought of using fish scales and teeth to make claw knives is because the shape of fish scales is very suitable.

In the vicinity of the river where the arapaima originally originated, the local aborigines have already begun to use the scales of the arapaima to make claw knives and the fish teeth to make files.

The aborigines' methods of making claw knives are very simple, but Cheng Sheng considered that Duan Yi and Xu Ying are good at using cold weapons, and the suitable claw knives can play a greater role in their hands.

The rationality of the claw knife design will make a world of difference in their attack effects.

That's why Cheng Sheng didn't copy the natives' method. In addition, on the basis of the claw knife, he added a double-edged design.

"The unique arc shape of the main blade of the Claw Knife can flexibly make different and complex attack movements with the rotation of the wrist." Cheng Sheng said.

On the other hand, the pointed and long fish-tooth auxiliary blade retains the piercing ability of the knife, and is more suitable for giving a fatal blow.

The first double-edged claw knife made was polished by Duan Yi. The blade of the claw knife was extremely sharp. He washed it with the rabbit skin he peeled off earlier and used it as a scabbard to cover the blade.

Duan Yi gave Cheng Sheng the first double-edged claw knife that was polished.

The double blades were carefully wrapped with rabbit skin so as not to scratch Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng was stunned when he saw the claw knife. He wanted to say that his demand was not high, and if there were any left in the end, he could just make another one for him.

But soon, Cheng Sheng quickly realized the meaning of this double-edged claw knife.

He took the first claw knife made by Da Bing, and carefully stroked it twice. The handle was very smooth, and the size fit Cheng Sheng's hand.

Cheng Sheng raised his eyes to look at Duan Yi, and saw Da Bing looking over seriously, as if he was checking whether the claw knife fits well.

He smiled slightly and said, "It's just right, it's very smooth, it's tailor-made for me."

Duan Yi responded: "Well, the first one will be for you."

The first one is just right for No.1 on the tip of your heart.

But it would be too nasty to say this, so Duan Yi can't stop.

Anyway, a person as smart as a doctor will definitely understand.

Sure enough, the smile on Cheng Sheng's face became more obvious, and he rolled his eyes: "I like it very much."

Duan Yi was very satisfied with the doctor's "I like it". He lowered his head and continued to punch himself with a claw knife, thinking silently in his heart - to be a couple.

Cheng Sheng glanced at him, while others were still fiddling with claw knives, he leaned against Duan Yi and thoughtfully fiddled with the scraps he didn't need, a small blue spark burst out from his hand from time to time.

Lin Qian was afraid that the doctor's sparks would come to him, so he lifted a rock and sat a little further away.

He noticed the scabbard design made by Duan Yi, his eyes lit up, and he immediately made a rabbit skin scabbard for himself in the same way.

When the others were almost done, Cheng Sheng's side, the "defective product" that was tossed out with a small flame was almost finished.

It was something that looked like a swallow's scissors tail.

Cheng Sheng roasted it with blue flames for a long time before he curled up the remaining fish scales. While it was still hot and deformed, he picked it up with a dead branch and smashed it on the stone until it deformed to the point of Cheng Sheng. Only when he wanted to sound like he stopped.

In fact, the practice of the main blade of the claw knife is somewhat similar, and the essence is to deform the scales.

It's just that Cheng Sheng's method is really time-consuming and laborious.

Cheng Sheng also picked a few small fish scales that were easy to deform and tossed them, but it also burned him a lot.

At the end of the burning, the flames were much smaller, like sparks barely popping out, and went out in a while.

Cheng Sheng: "..."

He originally wanted to make six swallowtail darts as a gift for Duan Yi.

Apparently only three are being made now.

There is still half of it unfinished, Huo Yan has already gone on strike.

The doctor touched the tip of his nose, turned his back, and carefully tested the cluster of blue flames.

Seeing that the flame seemed to be tossed and broken, it was lifeless, even if the doctor snapped his fingers a few times, all that popped out was a cluster of blue smoke with sparks.

Cheng Sheng twitched the corners of his mouth, so he had to use the sparks to burn little by little, and finally a small triangle with uneven layers was burned out. Looking for it, it looked like a flame.

He stuffed the three swallowtail darts he tossed out, plus a "flame dart" he didn't know what it was, into the hands of the soldier.

Duan Yi was slightly stunned, completely surprised.

"Here, use sparingly, lose one if you lose one." Cheng Sheng said, he almost became a squib.

Duan Yi laughed, and put the few small darts into his inner pocket with great care.

He saw the small triangle in the shape of a flame, which was different from the others, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Cheng Sheng: "..."

It is not necessarily a defective product that failed.

The doctor opened his eyes and said nonsense, without changing his face, he said: "Souvenir. If you make a hole, the straw rope will be a necklace. People do this for tourist souvenirs."

cross out.

That's what the natives do.

When Duan Yi heard this, his fingers turned into monsters without a word, and he easily poked a hole out, then took a ready-made rope and strung it up, hanging it around his neck.

"The shape of your flame?" he asked, looking down at the "souvenir".

The fish scales are sharp, but to Duan Yi, they are obviously not attractive, and they can't hurt him at all. At the moment, in Duan Yi's hands, they are like toys.

Cheng Sheng blushed, and it was burning, and the remaining scales looked like flames. God knows what he was thinking, anyway, that's what he did.

After being pointed out by Duan Yi, Cheng Sheng always felt unspeakably ashamed, as if this "souvenir" had added another layer of meaning.

Duan Yi didn't wait for the doctor's answer, he raised the corners of his lips, retracted his palm, and held the "souvenir" tightly in his palm.

"I like it very much." He looked at Cheng Sheng.

The doctor coughed lightly, just saying he likes it.

During the time when the doctor was unilaterally awkward, other people also made claw knives one after another. Lin Qian, Xu Ying, and Du Nanrong lined up to find Cheng Sheng, as if they were checking a graduation thesis for the teacher.

"Doctor, take a look, how is this done? Is it similar to what you said?" Lin Qian asked.

Xu Ying didn't talk as much as Lin Qian: "Doctor, I did this."

——But a pair of eyes were also looking at Cheng Sheng brightly, obviously wanting to get affirmation.

Du Nanrong looked at the cold weapons made by the two professionals, and then looked at his own. He was a little embarrassed: "Doctor, although I am not so beautiful, I should be able to make do with it, right?"

Cheng Sheng twitched the corners of his mouth, wondering what the purpose of these people showing him these claw knives was.

Anyway, the appearance of these claw knives is all kinds of strange, but it seems that they are not far from the design core of the claw knives.

He nodded slightly, but Zhang Jiuzhang interrupted him before he could say affirmative words.

Zhang Jiuzhang held the claw knife he made and pressed it in front of the doctor, and asked the doctor in a rough voice: "Is it better than what they made?"

Cheng Sheng: "..."

Why do they all seem to be waiting for his praise?

With a sullen face, Duan Yi drove away those people who were waiting for the doctor's explanation, and said: "Since the self-defense equipment has been equipped, let's go."

"Got it!" Lin Qian and Xu Ying replied without a second thought.

Zhang Jiuzhang looked at Duan Yi, then at Cheng Sheng, said "tsk" for a while, grabbed his large claw knife and left.

The group of them still walked in the direction of the previously established road.

The primeval forest where they are located is a first-class protected area, rich in precious undergrowth resources and mineral resources.

In the southwest direction of the primeval forest, if you continue along the southwest, you will find an important highway fortress, which is the must-pass and must-stop place for the traffic ring roads of the three provinces and regions.

This road fortress is usually empty, and in this period of time, there will not be many people.

Compared to being in the wild with no trace of human activity, facing a group of mutated creatures and dangerous and strange terrain, it is naturally safer to return to the main road.

Duan Yi and his party hurried on the road, and encountered several aftershocks along the way.

However, the magnitude and harm of the aftershocks were getting smaller and smaller. To be on the safe side, the group still lay on the ground and waited for the aftershocks to pass smoothly before getting up and continuing on their way.

The fire ax used to open the way was lost during the earthquake. Fortunately, the vegetation in front of me is getting sparser and less dense than before. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Duan Yi and his party to walk in this primitive old forest.

The sparser the vegetation, the closer they are to the edge of the primeval forest, and their direction is correct.

"Let's take a rest here first." Duan Yi stopped in front of a huge rock, glanced at the status of the others and said.

Zhang Jiuzhang didn't think there was a need to rest, he frowned, and just about to say something, he saw Luo Xiaonan leaning on Du Jingshu, and Du Jingshu leaning on her father, leaning on each other like an arhat, his little face pale.

He paused, finally pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Duan Yi climbed to the top of the rock.

Along the way, they hardly encountered any extra high terrain, and there was a rare raised rock right now, so Duan Yi naturally wanted to climb to a high place to observe the situation in the distance.

He looked at the place where they must pass, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"What's the matter?" Standing at the foot of the rock, Cheng Sheng looked up at Duan Yi, and when Duan Yi's face changed, he knew that there must be something wrong ahead.

Cheng Sheng stood on the edge of the stone and climbed up like Duan Yi did before. Seeing this, Duan Yi walked down a few steps and stretched out his hand to pull the doctor up.

The two stood on the top of the rock and looked into the distance together.

Cheng Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and understood the reason for Duan Yi's face change——

One and two hundred meters ahead of them, there was a red, purple and purple mist, like clouds.

The area covered by the mist is not very wide, only about one or two kilometers.

Strangely, this mist did not fall from the sky, but rose from the ground.

The closer to the ground, the denser the fog, and the ground could hardly be seen clearly.

"It's miasma." Duan Yi said in a deep voice.
