Ark Journey

And now Xue Zhi finally had the chance to experience this rather powerful-sounding thing with her own hands.

He looked at the crab flying towards him and gripped the knife tightly, with flames burning on the bright blade.

"Heavy armor unit, right? Let me show you how powerful this 'hot knife' is in penetrating armor."

The moment the two collided, Xue Zhi dodged the crab's claw attack and chopped off the big claw with a knife.

Seeing that this thing was very weak and had no Originium skills, Xue Zhi quickly lost interest in fighting it.

Now he just wanted to try this thing to see if it tasted good. After all, the old mercenary had never eaten it either. Normal people in Terra would not touch any wild animals. Who knows if they were infected with mineral disease?

Standing on top of the crab's head and inserting the blade into the possible location of its brain, Xue Zhi glanced at the claw and said to herself:

"We have supper. By the way, since your name is Crab, do you have crab roe?"

The rock crab's only response was an indescribable hissing and a loud struggle.

It seems that Xue Zhi didn't stab it correctly and caused it pain. It's really a sin.

After adding a few more stabs to quickly end its pain, Xue Zhi jumped off its top and turned the huge body over.

"Let me think about it. The roe of a crab is located in the abdomen. The abdomen of this thing is probably in..."

However, Xue Zhi worked for a long time and almost dismembered the crab but still couldn't find the crab roe.

"Okay, maybe you're a male and don't have that stuff. But this meat is enough for me to eat for several days."

Carrying the removed crab legs and claws, Xue Zhi was planning to find a cleaner place to have a midnight snack when she suddenly saw a few bright spots approaching.

"Someone? That's great. I haven't talked to anyone in days."

As he expected, it was a group of vagrants driving a jeep, and the highlight was the headlights of the jeep.

Perhaps he was confident in his bravery and heard the roar of the beasts here so he decided to pick up some meat to eat.

However, they were still surprised when they saw the claws of the rock crab floating behind Xue Zhi.

"Is this the claw of a rock crab?"

The words were in somewhat strange Chinese, which did not allow Xue Zhi to verify her ability in the language.

He shook his floating crab claws and said to them:

"Would you like to eat something together? I haven't met anyone in a while. There are some wild animals I killed over there. You can go over and see if you can get more meat."

A dusty Carters infected person got off the jeep. He seemed very friendly and it was obvious that he was well-educated.

"Thank you for your generosity, strange and powerful traveler. I am the leader of these people, Alvin."

"Okay, my name is Xue Zhi."

While they were talking, except for one jeep that went to pick up meat, the rest of the people got out of the car and started to light a bonfire and set up camp.

Xue Zhi was learning how to handle crabs while chatting with Alvin.

"There's no mobile city nearby, right? Can we get supplies by driving a jeep?"

"We haven't always been here. We just accepted a commission and came here to confirm whether there is an Originium cluster nearby."

Alvin said this and pointed to the protective clothing in the car.

"Ah, if there are no other natural disasters around here, you can go home. I just passed by a cluster of Originium, and there was a group of Sarkaz collecting it."

"Sarkaz? That's not surprising. This place is quite close to Kazdel. Thank you for your reminder, but we still have to go over and take a look. At least take a photo and report back."

Xue Zhi nodded, this reminder was enough.

"Okay, by the way, is there anything going on around here? I'm currently heading north."

"As for the north, nothing major has happened, and I haven't heard of any major natural disasters."

"Got it, thank you for the information."

"polite."

After receiving the news that there were no unusual changes ahead, Xue Zhi did not continue asking. He turned his attention to the crab meat that was being cooked.

I heard from the chef that this thing is quite fishy and needs to be cooked with more spices to be delicious.

At this time, he was sprinkling seasoning powder on it.

Xue Zhi seemed to have thought of something and took out a few Originium worm shells.

"By the way, brother, I still have some Originium worm shells here. Do you know how to use them to make wine or medicine? I can exchange them for some food or red gold."

After hearing this, the cook smiled and waved his hands, saying in a very simple and honest manner:

"Everyone in the wilderness knows these skills. They are not that expensive. I will teach you after I finish roasting the meat. Just leave a little shell."

Surprised, Xue Zhi gave a thumbs up.

"Great, you can do all of these."

The reason the cook gave was somewhat sad.

"We can't help it. These are too important. We are still a pretty powerful group of wanderers, but we can't be self-sufficient in medicine. We can only rely on Originium worms instead."

"That's it..."

The conversation ended here. The cook handed the roasted crab claws to Xue Zhi and asked others to help process the meat they had collected to prevent it from rotting.

The translucent meat inside the crab claws looks very beautiful and tastes very delicious.

Even though it was coated with cumin and chili powder, it did not cover up the sweet flavor of the meat itself.

After eating the crab claw, Xue Zhi wiped her mouth.

Very satisfied with the meal, he clapped his hands at the busy crowd.

"Everyone, look here, I have something to give you."

As he spoke, he took out a large amount of commonly used medicines and painkillers and piled them on the ground.

At the same time, he took into account the strong physique of the Terrans and also replaced some of the beast's equipment.

Finally, he took out some purification injections according to the number of people.

"This is?"

Alvin looked at the pile of potions written in Yan language on the ground and felt a little confused. Although he had been to school, he could not recognize these words.

"As a thank you, you are a very good cook and promised to teach me some knowledge. And don't worry, these things are very cheap for me."

These people can be considered honest people, and Xue Zhi, who is also an honest person, gets along very comfortably with them.

So he mentioned it so that these people could accept it.

After he explained to Alvin what these were and how to use them, Alvin's eyes widened when he looked at the pile of various medicines.

"This...this is too..."

Xue Zhi patted his shoulder from the side.

"Don't be surprised, just put it away quickly."

Alvin, who had already received the injection and felt relaxed, bowed to Xue Zhi.

Here Xue Zhi asked them to use the injections directly, fearing that these more precious medicines would cause the group to fall apart.

"I don't need to thank you for your kindness. If you can help us in any way, please let me know."

"Alright, alright."

I had a pretty comfortable night.

Chapter 5: Meeting Various People

In addition to these easy-to-talk people, there are also robbers and bandits in the wilderness.

Five days after leaving the homeless group, Xue Zhi encountered robbers for the first time.

They drove a very waaaaaagh modified motorcycle and surrounded Xue Zhi.

After getting off the car, they all held swords in their hands, and some even had pistols. Their scarred faces looked ferocious.

The Originium crystals that ordinary infected people usually cover up are exposed on the surface of their skin.

Even if Xue Zhi had a knife hanging on her waist, it would not alert them. These people who were tortured by mineral sickness and the monotonous life in the wilderness had already lost a lot.

A man wearing a black vest and with several special feathers on his head looked up and down at Xue Zhi with a vicious gaze, as if he was looking at some beauty.

"Hey, kid, hand over all the valuables on you, then play with us for two days and we'll let you go."

Then, regardless of whether Xue Zhi replied or not, all the people burst into laughter.

After they finished laughing, Xue Zhi held the knife and said slowly:

"There are indeed people in this world who live for their lower bodies."

Those people didn't react for a moment, then they stared and shouted:

"What did you say, boy!?"

The battle was about to break out and ended in an instant.

"Monster! Why can't you be infected by the Originium?!"

"Fuss."

On the messy battlefield, Xue Zhi kicked the robber who had spoken rudely to him at the beginning in the waist, causing him to curl up like a shrimp on the ground due to the severe pain.

But even in such pain, fear was still revealed in his eyes. The man who walked out of the explosion of Originium explosives unscathed overturned his cognition.

The battle began when Xue Zhi drew her sword towards them.

However, these people were so incompetent that they all lay down comfortably beside the fire on the ground and fell asleep within a few minutes of the battle starting. One person even slept with his beloved motorcycle.

If we ignore the fact that their heads and bodies were separated, the scene is still very heartwarming.

There was no way. Xue Zhi, who didn't know how to harm others, had only learned how to chop off heads, stab people with ice spikes, or burn them to ashes directly.

In this environment, there was something slightly wrong with the combat habits Xue Zhi developed, and she gradually moved closer to the Beheader or the Piercer, but this was indeed very efficient.

After ending the robber's suffering, Xue Zhi looked around and finally found a motorcycle that could still be driven among a pile of burning machinery and body parts.

Straightening the motorcycle, Xue Zhi could see that there were still some blue paint spots on her skin that had been eroded by the wind and sand in the wilderness. She must have been a beautiful motorcycle rider before.

After rescuing some fuel from other damaged motorcycles and adding it to the fuel tank, Xue Zhi took a final look at the battlefield to make sure nothing was left out, then stepped on the accelerator and left like the wind.

Now, Xue Zhi was riding the motorcycle across the wilderness.

He removed all the strange decorations on the car, leaving only the pure body of the car.

This car has been modified, and coupled with Xue Zhi's powerful body control and strength, the vehicle has reached an astonishing 400km/h in this bumpy wilderness, which is faster than the trip to the Tower of Babel.

Feeling the sound of the wind blowing past her ears, Xue Zhi finally understood why so many people like to race cars, because it is really fun.

However, speeding may be fun, but car accidents can lead to disasters, so please keep this in mind.

Xue Zhi rode until night before finding a place to rest.

After setting up the matchbox, Xue Zhi, feeling very comfortable sitting on the grass, took out the remaining crab legs and started grilling them.

He had almost finished eating these rare delicacies and never encountered them again on the road.

Just as he was rubbing his hands together and preparing to feast on the food, the bushes next to him suddenly moved, and a beast with two cubs emerged.

They might have been attracted by the smell of meat. Xue Zhi did not release her mental power and therefore did not notice their approach.

"Ah, a giant Siberian hamster?"

Xue Zhi sat steadily on the ground, knowing that this thing would definitely not be able to defeat him.

Even switched to some honey and salmon to throw in.

However, the bear cub, who should have been very irritable, slowly sat down next to the campfire, and stretched out one of its paws towards Xue Zhi, slightly tempting him to put the honey and salmon on the table.

The two little ones also sat next to their mother.

Seeing such a strange scene, Xue Zhi handed over the food while thinking in her heart.

[Is it possible that I met a beast master? But it seems that no beast master can give birth to a child? Maybe this child was raised by a human? ]

Then Xue Zhi saw the big beast unscrew the lid very flexibly, and then tear the salmon into small pieces with honey and feed them to the small one.

Xue Zhi, who was observing from the side, was very curious.
