Chapter 1768 (2/2)
Listening to each other's words, I carefully opened the opening under my wrist, followed by a group of ghost beetles quickly climbed out of the opening and scattered along the ground and branches. Now it's not convenient for me to probe the situation, so I have to rely on these little guys.
With the help of the ghost beetle's eyes, I soon found a group of Russians carrying a long, gun like object in the woodland.
”Well, here it is.” A barbarian warrior yelled to the people around him to erect the gun barrel. Then several people nearby took out something like a hand drill and began to dig holes in the ground. Although the surface layer of the forest ground is rotten soil layer, there are all plant roots under it. Moreover, this is a land of curse. There are many bones under the ground. In short, it is very hard work to drill holes here.
Those people use the hand-operated drilling machine to dig and stop on the ground. After a while, they have to pull the drill out when they encounter obstacles. Then they use a long sharp weapon to cut off the things in the way and dig them out. Then they can put the drill in again. Although this kind of work does not seem very laborious, it is extremely troublesome, and the drilling rig must be retracted and lowered repeatedly.It took them more than half an hour to dig out a satisfactory hole. Judging from the shape of their drilling rig, the hole should be a vertical well with a diameter of 30-40 cm and a depth of more than 1.5 m.
After completing the strange hole, the men threw the drill rig aside and began to heave the barrel like thing next to it. Finally, they moved the vertical gun tube to the top of the newly dug hole, and then lowered the gun barrel along the hole. As like as two peas were newly built, the size of the new hole was exactly the same as the outer wall of the barrel, so the barrel was not inserted in the hole, but there was great resistance. The men, who seemed ready, took out a wooden hammer covered with cotton and began to knock down.
It was probably because of what kind of mechanical device the gun barrel was, so they didn't dare to use a lot of force to smash it. They could only smash it down a little carefully, and finally it took a full ten minutes to knock the thing into the ground completely. Finally, when the opening of the object was parallel to the ground, a Russian player took out a strange fork like object and inserted it into the pipe. Then the people nearby helped to grasp the handle of the fork and began to rotate counterclockwise. Under their joint efforts, the fork was soon twisted more than ten times. Judging from their actions just now, the function of this fork should be similar to that of a wind up key, while the gun barrel is a mechanical body driven by a mechanism such as a spring. As for the function of this device, I still don't know for a moment. After all, from the outside, it looks like a thick pipe.
After putting this in place, the group of Russians began to divide into four teams of two and began to dig holes along the road on both sides of the pipe. The holes dug this time are not deep. Each one is only about half a foot deep, and the size is about the same as that of an ordinary rice pot. In these teams, one person was digging a hole attentively in front of him. After digging a hole, the person at the back took out a metal object as big as an electric rice cooker and put it into the dug hole.
After at least 50 or 60 of those little things were placed around the vertical metal barrel, most of them quickly left the area, and one of them stayed behind and began to camouflage them with branches and leaves. After confirming that everything was covered up, the men left the area together.
After sending some ghost beetles to follow the group, I came out of the hiding tree with the spirit of void. As soon as he came out, the spirit of the void said to me, ”I don't know what these things are. They've been laying out such things since they've been here. Now the forest is almost full of them. It's almost everywhere, except for a deliberately left passage. ”
”So much?”
”Yes, it's a lot. These guys have been here for three days all the time, and they are so crowded that they are very fast when they are assigned
”You don't see the effect of other creatures touching these things?”
The spirit of the void shook his head and said, ”there were a lot of small local creatures running over these things before, but I don't know whether it's because it's too small to trigger, or what's the reason. Those things don't respond at all.”
”This is the national barrier area. There must be a lot of high-level creatures. According to the law, there should be a lot of big things? Didn't one step on it? ”
”No The spirit of the void said definitely: ”those people have special people patrolling nearby. When they encounter large creatures, they will call on their companions to kill them in advance. Therefore, no large creatures have ever encountered these things.”
Listen to the spirit of the void, it seems that I can't even use any method to experiment, because the other party has obviously planned to expel the creatures that may trigger this thing. If I trigger one of them inexplicably, it is likely to let the other party know that someone has come in. So I had to give up the idea of triggering a look at the effect. However, I don't know whether it's my luck or the Russian's. After I gave up the intention to trigger this thing, I unexpectedly saw the trigger effect of one group of this thing.
The group of Russians, who had finished putting out those strange things, left and were followed by my ghost beetles, and they returned to a man-made clearing in the middle of the forest and went out with a set of cannons and many small rice cookers. After these people left, I left only one ghost beetle to keep an eye on them, and the others focused on the open space.
Less than three minutes after the group left, another group of people came from the open space. It seems that they are also here to take these things. However, there seems to be a guy in the team who has a problem with his mind. Anyway, the guy is rather careless in his work. He actually knocked down one of the cannons when he was carrying it. As a result, the thing not only collapsed itself, but also hit several small rice cooker like devices. At once, several small rice cookers and the fallen gun barrel were triggered.
I was right to say that this thing looks like a gun barrel. It's a gun, but it's not a shot of steel, it's not compressed energy, it's a kind of black viscous liquid like ink.
When the gun barrel fell down, it ejected a large black liquid ball, and the liquid ball suddenly exploded after it flew two meters away horizontally, which spewed out the darkness of the nearby people carrying things and the surrounding forest. It can be imagined that if this thing was just placed vertically instead of upside down, it would be jet black in the area of tens of meters around it.Apart from the gun barrel, the same thing as the rice cooker is a different kind of equipment. There is a round opening like a trap on the top of these things, and it will snap when it is touched. But I don't see where it is more advanced than other traps. But since the Russians made it look like this, there must be a reason, but I haven't thought of it.
After confirming the function of the thing, I immediately asked one of the ghost beetles to bring me a leaf with a lot of that liquid on it. When I got the leaf, I was more confused.
”This is Kerosene? ”
The kerosene mentioned here is not ordinary kerosene, but an oil extract. It's no secret that there is oil in the map of zero. Many guilds will use oil to make incendiary bombs, so oil is also a kind of resource here.
In reality, people will use pyrolysis technology to separate oil into diesel oil, gasoline and asphalt and other different products. But in the game, few lines can copy the real equipment. Therefore, after using the local method to decompose the oil, it is not gasoline and diesel oil, but this black and viscous black liquid. In fact, this kind of kerosene is basically the same as oil, except that its specific gravity is slightly reduced and it is easier to ignite, it is basically similar to crude oil.
After finding out what this black liquid is, I summoned Ling and other good-natured demons to gather our wisdom and speculate. We finally came to such a conclusion. No matter how the shape of the electric rice cooker is changed, the basic function of the clip can not be changed. However, it is obvious that the shallow and unfixed things are difficult to trap large organisms, and its trigger sensitivity is obviously not prepared for small organisms. Therefore, we decided that the electric rice cooker style clip should not be designed to limit the movement of organisms, but only to slow down the other party. As for the kind of gun barrel that can spray fire oil, it is obviously developed to completely dip the target with kerosene. With those clips, it's not hard to imagine that the purpose of these clips is to limit the speed of the target creature, so that the kerosene launcher can completely cover it. In other words, the clip is not the key point, but the focus is to cover the target with kerosene.
Although we want to understand that it is the purpose of the Russians to cover the target with kerosene, we do not understand what they intend to do. Generally speaking, pour the opponent with kerosene once, and the next step is to plan to burn it with fire. But the problem is that if you want to burn an enemy with fire, it must take a long time. Even if the Russians are going to kill some creatures, they don't need to spend so much effort to arrange some pyrotechnics. Isn't it more direct to bury a few magic crystal vapor mines?
Therefore, the Russian aim is not to kill the target. Otherwise, they will not bury this kind of weapon which looks frightening but not lethal at all. Instead, they should directly put a lot of easy to install mines. But what are they going to do if they don't kill their targets? Is it to capture alive?
The purpose of catching monsters is nothing more than several situations. Either a certain task target specifies what creatures to capture alive, or they want to capture captives to obtain intelligence. The last one is to catch demons. Except for these three situations, no one will choose to capture them alive.
It seems obviously inappropriate to capture captives, because these things do not seem to be prepared for humanoid creatures. As for the possibility of catching demons It doesn't look like it. Even if you want to catch the magic pet, it's also a single person. I haven't heard of any senior players from all over the country to collectively grasp the magic pet. Even if the Russians want to set up a Guinness world record for more than one person, they will never do so at this point, so this possibility can be ignored.
Remove the last two possibilities, and there is only one reason. The Russians have a mission, they want to capture this creature alive to complete the task. However, this answer is actually the most useless answer, because knowing that the Russians have a task, but not knowing what task they have, neither knowing their mission goal nor their task reward, ultimately equals to knowing nothing.
”What the hell do these guys want?” I was holding that leaf covered with fire oil and my head was cramped, but I couldn't think of the answer.
When I fell into a dead end, a word from Xiaofeng suddenly reminded me. ”In fact, rather than guessing the Russian's purpose here, it's better to find out what kind of creatures they're trying to catch.”
”Yes.” It suddenly occurred to me that when we found out the problem before, it was because sot had found a non fragrant fruit. At that time, our inference is that a player picked the non fragrant fruit and dropped one on the way. According to this idea, the fruitless fruit must have something to do with the task, otherwise the Russians don't have to pick it. However, according to Sauter, there is no use except for the fact that it can be eaten. Moreover, it has no taste, and most people will not eat it. But Sauter also said at the time that there was a creature that liked to eat non fragrant fruits. Then, according to this clue, it is likely that the Russians collected the non fragrant fruits to be bait, and then gathered the kerosene traps made by the Russians. It is not difficult to guess the Russian's general plan. ”Yes, it must be.” I'm very sure.”What do you think of?” Ling asked curiously. I told Ling what sot had said and what I thought, and Ling understood it immediately. As long as the Russians know what they like to eat, they can tell what they like to eat
Xiaochun also followed: ”does that sot know? Just ask. ”
”Darts.” I put out my hand and called out the dart. It's too long for me to go back to sot myself. The darts are the fastest.
The dart, who had made clear the task, disappeared into the forest land in a flash. Then he ran back in less than five minutes, moving at the speed of light of the dart. This road is less than a second. It is estimated that the delay of five minutes is the time for dialogue with sot.
”Darts, what is that kind of thing that likes to eat non fragrant fruit?” (to be continued, please visit, more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading! )
