Infinite Bloodcore

Chapter 45: Unexpected Harvest

According to Zhen Jin's plan, the exploration team will rest for two days.

A lot of effort was spent on the construction of this camp, and it would be too wasteful not to make good use of it. The surroundings were cleared again, the flying squirrels were hunted, and the only threat was gone, so it was safe.

The body of the flying squirrel needs to continue to be processed.

The members of the exploration team must continue to practice hard on their archery skills.

In addition, the previous hunting consumed a lot of arrows and a small number of short bows, which needed to be replenished.

The hunt was a great success, which greatly improved the situation of the entire exploration team.

Now, Zhenjin has had enough time to build better ranged weapons.

But after Zhenjin considered it comprehensively, he rationally gave up the idea.

The next day.

Cang Xu met Zhen Jin: "Master Zhen Jin, there is good news. I have made a new discovery."

"Oh?" Zhen Jin knew that Cang Xu was studying the body of the black iron-headed rat, "Did the magic crystal be found in the body of the black iron-headed rat?"

Cang Xu smiled and shook his head: "There is no magic crystal in this black iron-headed rat, and the magic power in its body is also confused. Soon after death, the magic power dissipated."

Zhen Jin murmured in his heart: "The black iron-headed rat doesn't have a magic crystal, but I do have a very similar one in my body."

Cang Xu did not show off and said frankly: "That's it, sir. I cut the stomach of the black iron-headed rat and found that it just had a full meal before it died. Therefore, there is still a lot of food in the stomach that has not been digested. Including Meat, bones, bird feathers, tree fruits, grass leaves, etc. Among them, I also found a kind of potato."

Acupuncture's eyes flashed slightly: "It seems that this kind of flying squirrel is omnivorous. We can try to dig up this kind of potato."

Cang Xu nodded: "Sir, it's not just potatoes. I speculate that there may be a large amount of food stored in the nests of the flying squirrels."

"Why is there such a judgment?" Zhen Jin asked.

"Through previous dissections and recent studies of these rat carcasses, I found that their digestive ability is very powerful, and the gastric juice can even slightly corrode swords. Generally speaking, when such a powerful digestive creature is hungry, its stomach acid will be secreted, which will It makes them very uncomfortable. In order to resist this hunger, they will swallow some things that are temporarily difficult to digest, such as stones, etc. But these flying squirrels do not have these similar things in their stomachs. This shows that they have plenty of food .”

"We have basically explored the surrounding situation. I think these flying squirrels are not only omnivorous, but also have the food storage characteristics of creatures like squirrels. Usually, they explore around and collect food. When they are hungry , they can eat quickly and prevent the entire group from being driven crazy by hunger."

"Very good." Zhen Jin patted Cang Xu's shoulder to express his appreciation, "I will leave this matter to Lan Zao."

"Sir, please allow me to follow you. I am very interested in the specific structure of the flying squirrel's nest." Cang Xu made a small request at the right time.

"Okay." Zhen Jin agreed without any hesitation.

Although more manpower is needed to protect this old scholar, Zhenjin has repeatedly received help from the old scholar since he came into contact with Cangxu. If the situation permits, Zhenjin doesn't mind satisfying the old scholar's thirst for knowledge.

When Cang Xu returned to the camp, he had a look of satisfaction on his face.

Their harvest also gave Zhen Jin a surprise.

Just as Cang Xu had guessed, there was indeed food stored in the flying squirrel's nest.

Also, the food reserves are huge. So much so that when the exploration team members ransacked their homes, many people lamented: These flying squirrels live a better life than humans!

Although most of these foods are not edible by humans. However, the amount of sweet potatoes, tree fruits, etc. is equivalent to one-third of the flying squirrel meat, which is a great supplement to the exploration team's food.

Zidi also has new results.

Using the gastric juice of Momonga, Zi Di created multiple corrosive acids. After an iron sword is contaminated with this medicine, it can change beyond recognition within a few breaths. As long as there is enough medicine, the soil will be eroded into a large hole in just a few breaths.

If combined with atomizing agents, a highly corrosive acid mist can be created. Ordinary people would suffer lung necrosis if they were exposed to it and only needed to breathe for a moment.

Although the hunting of flying squirrels was a great success, it consumed the remaining combustion-supporting medicine in Zidi's hand.

This corrosive agent became a supplement, adding a means for the exploration team to fight the enemy.

Of course, neither the previous fire-igniting potions nor the current corrosive acid potions are magic potions. They only utilize, purify and strengthen the original physical properties of the materials.

The effect of magic potion is more significant. But in this island mountain, low-level potions are ineffective.

There has been no progress in needle gold.

He could only temporarily give up his original train of thought and change to another direction.

He began to think: How is the mysterious crystal nucleus in the heart generated?

"Is it a potion?" This is the answer that Zhen Jin thinks is the most likely.

Otherwise, why are these two mutations related to the monkey-tailed brown bear?

As night fell, Zhenjin also called Zidi and once again asked insinuatingly about the situation at that time.

Zidi's answer did not give Zhenjin any new gains.

Zhen Jin fell into deep thought: "If there was an accident when Zidi was treating me, and this crystal core was formed. Then, if I take the potion, it may touch the crystal core again, causing mutations."

"Did something happen? Or do you think there is any hidden danger?" Zidi asked.

"It's nothing, I just want to know something." Zhenjin smiled and comforted Zidi, "It's getting late and we will set off tomorrow. You go back and have a good rest."

Zidi nodded, her eyes sparkling: "Master Zhenjin, with you here, I believe we will be able to leave this island."

Zhen Jin nodded: "Not only do we have to leave this island, but we also have to try our best to gather people's hearts, recruit some people, and form a preliminary team. Otherwise, we will come to Baisha City, and there will be only you and me. It will be difficult to compete with the other two for the position of city leader. Don't blame yourself, Zidi, actually you have done a good job this time."

Zidi was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Sir, you have really sharp eyesight. To be honest, I hate the environment here. It is too unfriendly to magicians. The only thing I can help you is potions. But the current conditions are too Simple. If I have some alchemy artifacts, I believe I can prepare poison for flying squirrels in time."

Zhenjin sighed: "This is the fact. We have fallen on this weird island, surrounded by dangers. We are trying to survive, and anything can happen. We just need to do our best, and we can only do our best. Good night .”

"Good night." Zidi left.

Zhen Jin still didn’t tell Zidi the truth.

On the one hand, Zhenjin doesn't want Zidi to bear more worries. She is already blaming herself. Although their time together was short, Zhen Jin discovered that there was a sense of pride in this purple-eyed girl. For such people, Zhenjin only needs to be relieved, but does not need to be reprimanded and flogged. Because there is no need for other external pressure, this kind of person is completely able to work hard on his own.

On the other hand, Zhenjin also knows Zidi’s strength in medicine. Even if he revealed the truth, Zidi would not be able to solve this problem.

Since Zidi hid the first time, Zhenjin didn't mind hiding the second time.

According to Zhen Jin, the mutation ability brought by the mysterious crystal core is a trump card that allows him to deal with dangerous situations and powerful enemies. But at the same time, it also has huge hidden dangers.

"Is this mutation harmful? How can a human heart have a crystal nucleus? Will this kind of foreign organ be mutually exclusive with other tissues in the body?"

"What kind of damage will a sudden mutation cause to me? Is it a physical disability, or is it a mess of blood?"

"I can't sense the crystal core, and the mutation is out of control. Is it because the crystal core has just grown and has not yet completely integrated with my body?"

"If mutations happen too many times, will it turn me into a beast and lose all humanity?"

Not just physical and bloodline aspects, but also concerns for the entire exploration team.

Zhen Jin knew that he was able to lead this group of people. One is because he is strong enough, and the other is because of his identity.

He is a noble, and more importantly, he is a Templar.

The latter identity is more inspiring than the former.

If the mutation of Zhenjin is discovered and recognized as a monster, then the advantages brought by this identity will be greatly weakened.

Although he succeeded in hunting the rats, Zhenjin knew that this success was just to pull back from the brink and bring the exploration team back from the brink of destruction.

The next trip will definitely encounter difficulties and obstacles.

It is hard to say whether the exploration team can cope with such hardships and tests.

Zhen Jin didn't want this small team to have any unrest.

Therefore, he chose to keep this secret in his heart and curb the possibility of spreading it from the source.

Late at night in the forest is not peaceful.

The howls of wild beasts are often heard. These sounds are strange and strange. Some are really howling, some are whimpering, and some are like dry coughs.

Zhen Jin knew that he had to take a good rest, after all, he would be leaving early tomorrow morning.

But he was lying on the mat, looking for the bookstore www.zhaoshuyuan.com, but he couldn't fall asleep for a while.

He simply summarized the results of his thinking these days.

"At present, it seems that there are three major possibilities for triggering changes in the body. The first is the pressure of being on the verge of life and death, which triggers the instinctive reaction of the crystal core in my heart. The second is the various intense emotions I have under great pressure. The third is blood-based The medicine. The heart crystal core is probably caused by the medicine. Although these two mutations did not absorb the foreign medicine, there may still be residues in the body."

Zhenjin sighed quietly.

Although he had thought of a lot, the current situation prevented him from trying any possibility easily.

On the one hand, there is no guarantee of safety for oneself.

On the other hand, he has a responsibility and cannot take risks easily. He wants to lead the entire exploration team, protect his fiancée, and revitalize the Baizhen family.

He has many things to do.

"In addition, after the mutation occurs, the crystal core in my heart will consume a lot of magic power. Afterwards, it will make me feel a very strong sense of emptiness and fatigue."

Full of thoughts, Zhen Jin fell into a drowsy sleep.

After falling asleep, the young man still frowned slightly, as if he was thinking hard in his dream.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a bang, and the entire camp collapsed.

Zhen Jin woke up immediately.

Although he fell asleep in the camp, he still maintained a vigilant mind, so he reacted quickly.

"Why did the tent suddenly collapse? What happened?!" Zhen Jin picked up the spider blade placed beside him and swung it violently.

The sharp blade easily cut open the collapsed tent, allowing Zhenjin to observe everything outside.

The next moment, he was shaken physically and mentally, with a look of horror on his face.
