Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 46 Demon
"Why are you here again?"

Liu Hen frowned secretly. He had heard such dense horse hoof sounds yesterday, as if many people were passing by nearby.

But just one day later, someone else came.

"What happened? Where did those people come from and why did they come?"

He was alert in his heart.

"Sir..." Wu Yuanming was a little nervous. Even though they were following a person with special abilities, they still remained extremely vigilant against those outsiders.

"Hide first, there's no need to encounter those people."

Liu Hen would not pretend to be strong just to save face, so he took the four people and hid.

Half a minute later, a large group of people riding tall horses passed by from a hundred meters away. They looked aggressive and it was obvious that they were not to be trifled with.

However, only Liu Hen could see this scene.

Others can only hear the sound but cannot see the source of the sound.

Suddenly, one of them, perhaps because he was carrying some kind of sensing device or because he sensed Liu Hen's gaze on his own, suddenly turned around and looked over.

The moment he turned around, the man stretched out his hand almost simultaneously, with a light coming out of his palm, as if he was about to launch something.

Liu Hen's heart tightened and he was about to retract his head, but suddenly he saw a thick tree root shooting out from the ground.

"Puff puff……"

Many horses were pierced, and even some people were implicated and pierced by thick tree roots.

Including the person who wanted Liu Hen to attack, many metal parts on his body shattered and exploded.

"demon……"

"It's a monster!"

"Do it!"

The group of people were horrified and quickly fought back.

It was obvious that they were a group of people with rich combat experience. Even when they suddenly encountered demons, they did not panic and began to organize a counterattack.

"Come on!"

Liu Hen, who saw the demon for the first time, had no intention of staying to watch the fun, and directly retreated with the Wu brothers and sisters.

"boom!"

"boom!!"

The group of people at the back could actually shoot out beams of light from their palms to attack, and once attacked, electric sparks would splash on their bodies.

Liu Hen even saw someone being blown up by tree roots, with metal fragments flying out.

"A cyborg? The same type as the one who attacked us before?"

He was confused and uncertain: "Is it a technologically modified human, or a mutant human?"

Human modification does not necessarily require technological means; supernatural forces may be involved.

After all, this is not a purely scientific world like the Earth. There are all kinds of monsters and demons here.

"what……"

Screams continued to be heard from the rear, and the sounds similar to those of gunfire gradually died down.

"That group was wiped out?"

Liu Hen frowned secretly, but he couldn't see that far from here.

"Is the demon that powerful?"

He couldn't help but look at the tense Wu siblings behind him: "Were the demons you encountered earlier also tree roots?"

"Yes, sir." Wu Yuanming replied.

The other three also nodded, very sure of this.

"The demon that the group behind encountered was also a tree root, but that demon was very powerful."

Liu Hen frowned: "Are they two different demons, or the same demon in different parts of its body?"

"Sir, your question... is really difficult for us."

Wu Yuanming said helplessly: "At that time, we could only barely see the enemy's tree roots, but we couldn't see the real body. However..."

He paused and said, "What is certain is that the tree roots did emerge from the ground."

Suddenly, Liu Hen's expression became more solemn. He felt that he could not stay here any longer and quickened his pace.

Suddenly, five two-armed monsters blocked the way.

Liu Hen did not pause at all, nor did he attack from a distance as usual. Instead, he directly raised two Tang swords and rushed forward.

"Puff puff……"

The knife flashed, and the five monsters were quickly chopped down by him.

The next moment, the limbs of these monsters turned into light and intertwined together, condensing into five magic crystals that fell to the ground.

"Your Excellency is so powerful!" "So strong!"

The Wu siblings were amazed. When they encountered five monsters before, they had to surround them and attack the reinforcements, relying on various means to pull the monsters away, and they might even suffer some minor injuries if they were not careful.

As a result, when he got to Liu Hen, he was chopped to death like cutting melons and vegetables.

Liu Hen didn't pause at all. He put away the magic crystal and continued on his way.

Because his strength was far greater than before, and his eyesight was also far better than that of an ordinary person, he did not travel as carefully and lightly as usual, but strode forward directly, wanting to get away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.

Judging from previous signs, this area may be in chaos.

Those outsiders on horseback might completely disrupt this area. There are no copper mines here, so I need to look for them somewhere else.

Just treat it as a way to avoid chaos.

Not long after walking out, two four-armed monsters blocked the way.

Liu Hen also did not stop and rushed forward, slashing with both swords. He killed the beast without much effort and obtained a total of sixteen magic crystals.

Although the strength of this four-armed monster far exceeds that of a two-armed monster, it is still within the normal range.

He was able to kill with long-range attacks using iron ore before, let alone now.

However, when they walked more than ten kilometers, a six-armed monster suddenly rushed out from the darkness and attacked them.

This time, Liu Hen was careless and almost got injured and was hit in the chest.

Fortunately, the defense of the black iron-level thermal suit was strong enough. Although his blood was boiling, his defense was not broken after all.

"Chichichi..."

Liu Hen held the knife in both hands and continued to strangle the six-armed monster.

The six-armed monster's body was too tough. When the black iron-grade Tang horizontal sword chopped it, it was like cutting dried cowhide, and it was difficult to break through the defense.

However, Liu Hen did not dare to retreat at this time. He either rotated to gain leverage, or blocked with his two swords, or slashed forward madly.

He had no skills and didn't know any sword techniques. He just used the Summer Eight Slashes technique, using whatever force was most convenient for him.

Finally, after a lot of effort, until the blade of the Black Iron-level Tang Hengdao was bent, he narrowly killed the six-armed monster.

The body of the six-armed monster that was killed dissipated and turned into a ball of light, which exploded with a "bang", and a large amount of magic crystals fell out.

The Wu siblings hurried to pick them up, and eventually found a total of sixty-four magic crystals.

'It's actually a multiple of eight!'

Liu Hen looked solemn.

It seems that the strength of the eight-armed monster is definitely far beyond that of the six-armed monster, and it is someone that I cannot afford to provoke now.

After roughly testing his own strength level, he had a rough idea of ​​it.

He was very careful on the rest of the journey, and would stay away from it if he saw the six-armed monster.

Even if he encountered a four-armed monster, he would never provoke it if there were more than three of them.

Of course, if he encounters a two-armed monster, he will not be polite. He will rush up and chop it up to collect magic crystals.

Thus, in just a distance of nearly twenty kilometers, he obtained hundreds of magic crystals.

The Wu brothers and sisters were shocked and envious. It took them a long time to save up two or three hundred magic crystals.

As a result, in just one or two hours, this adult had obtained hundreds of magic crystals, and they were obtained purely by hunting monsters.

At this time, there was no scavenger team following behind. Those people either gave up on their own or were exhausted and could not keep up.

Liu Hen ignored them. Those people didn't trust him and were not willing to cut down a tree in exchange for the right to live near him. They were just strangers and there was no need to pay attention to them.

"Sir, there is danger ahead."

Suddenly, Xiao Heishi's voice sounded in my mind.

Liu Hen's heart tightened, and he quickly asked in his mind: "What danger?"

"I don't know, I sensed the presence of a demon."

Little Black Stone replied: "Besides the demonic aura, there seems to be a strong smell of blood."

It was early night at this time, and Liu Hen could see a hundred meters away. Beyond a hundred meters, it was pitch black and he could not see anything.

He didn't sense any danger, but he trusted the little black stone very much and chose to take a detour without hesitation.

Although the Wu brothers and sisters were puzzled by this, they had no objections out of their trust in people with special abilities.

"Roar……"

Just as the five people turned around, they suddenly heard a low animal roar from behind.

Then a black fog quickly spread.

"No, hurry up and leave!"

Liu Hen quickly sped up.

The Wu brothers and sisters were so frightened that they pissed and shit themselves and immediately ran away.
