Chapter 72 - Stone Amored Predators

There was a slight inaudible sound in my ears. It was the sound of some monster’s limbs rubbing against the ground, coming from the ruins tens of meters away.

Lin Ze put his backpack aside for a while, then turned and looked not far behind.

Hiss~ Hiss~

Soon, a scaly lizard spitting letters appeared from behind a collapsed wall.

The second-order subordinate monster, the black lizard.

After Lin Ze saw the enemy, the information of this monster soon came to mind.

This kind of second-order monster is only reluctant to be placed in the ranks of second-order monsters in Fort Eide’s official monster information book, except that its scales are relatively resistant to beating.

“Gee, let’s think of it as the start of this system credit harvest.”

Lin Ze wiped White Red Sword with his left hand, and the figure left the place instantly. The tip of the sword pointed directly at the black lizard.

Swoosh!

The distance of 20 meters blinked, and the black lizard had no idea that the prey in front of him would dare to take the initiative to attack. It immediately gave a roar.

Plop!

The sword flashed like electricity and the head of the black lizard flew high.

White Red Sword’s original sharpness, coupled with Lin Ze’s current strength and chopping speed, turned out to have easily cut its scales.

[Ding! This kill won system credit*20]

“Current system credit: 268/2000”

Call ~

Lin Ze breathed a slight sigh of relief and turned to the terrace.

Then he took out a pen and paper from his pocket and marked the current position.

[Block a and Building 3 in the Eastern District of Mukala are moderately damaged. No stone armor predator group has been found here, and some black lizards are active]

After a brief record, Lin Ze put away the paper again.

Looking at the coming dusk, the danger of Mukala at night will rise by several levels. Lin Zexian is not ready to explore in a hurry.

In this respect, other people should have the same plan. It is estimated that they have also found a place to hide and spent the night in a safer way.

Lin Ze’s figure flashed between the nearby ruins and broken walls. He soon explored the surrounding environment and found a safer high-rise attic.

By the time he arrived here and laid out the basic warning trap, dusk was drawing to a close.

The whole Mukala was swallowed by a monster and plunged into the night.

Although the monster’s roar did not stop overnight, Lin Zexuan was in a good position and was not attacked.

Early morning.

In the hall on the second floor of the fitness area in Building 4, Block A, Lin Ze hid behind broken glass and watched the stones piled up at the door.

It is not that he is idle and bored, but that the troubled times are just the rest of the stone armor predators!

This is also what Lin Ze learned only after listening to Kyle’s introduction before leaving.

Sure enough, when the morning light hit the rocks, the piles of high rocks began to quiver.

A 30 cm long and wide yellow-brown stone rolled to the ground, but when it came into contact with the ground, six fractures appeared at the edge of the stone. The stones at the edge cracked and stretched out, but they were connected to the black limbs. The six legs supported the stone

The “stone” split from one third and retreated at the back, forming the chest and abdomen.

A semi-elliptical black organ leaned out in front of the chest, and six pairs of compound eyes arranged on both sides immediately turned out above the thing. Then, a pair of claw teeth reached out.

In this way, a stone armor predator completed the transformation from stone to monster under Lin Ze’s eyes.

As the sunshine radius expands, more “stones” recover and quickly climb to the shadow of this floor.

When one of the stone predators passed Lin Ze’s hiding place, Lin Ze resolutely raised White Red Sword.

At the moment the monster appeared, White Red Sword stabbed it and plunged it into the soft gelatinous crack connecting the breastplate and abdomen of the stone armor predator.

Before the “boiling blood” effect on White Red Sword could take effect, this ordinary one-stone predator had lost his life.

Its body is conditionally curled up back to its limbs. If it is only seen from its back, it seems to have turned into stone again.

The weakness of this stone armor predator was also explained by union leader Kyle at that time.

Although most stone armor predators have only first-order strength, their thick stone armor is very annoying. To kill efficiently, one can only find their deadly point.

For example, the soft gelatinous substance connecting the chest and abdomen is the nerve center of this monster. When they are pierced by sharp objects, their nerves will be cut off and they will directly enter a state of death.

In the process of death, the limbs will be withdrawn due to the confusion of the nervous system.

Lin Ze gently moved the dead stone armor predator to his feet.

Lin Ze crouched down slightly to observe, then made a circle with White Red Sword and cut the stone armor predator into two pieces along with the gelatinous substance.

Black and blue blood flowed out of the rift. It was already a dead stone armor predator. After losing the control of nerves and muscles, the originally recovered limbs actually stretched out again.

The body part of this stone armor predator is wrapped by a light carapace with a stone color.

This layer of the carapace is extremely thick. Lin Ze’s fingertips condense thunder and lightning and strike on the stone armor, leaving only slight scorch marks.

If an ordinary rough iron knife is chopped on it, it is difficult to gain anything from an attack.

Lin Ze cut open the black part behind the foot limb, which is different from the rock shell on the back. The black part of the foot limb is quite fragile and almost breaks at the first poke, but the muscles inside are quite delicate and special.

The muscle texture of the stone armor predator is twisted in a stripe shape. These muscle fibers provide the monster with sufficient strength to support its body weight and have explosive force, which can accelerate it when necessary so as to change quickly in camouflage and capture prey instantly.

The compound eye on the head of the stone armor predator, according to the information given by the trade union, has eye muscles that can rotate 180 degrees, which provides the stone armor predator with a very broad view.

The only possible blind area of vision is their relatively high abdomen, which prevents the rear of the stone armor predator from being scanned.

This monster has a pair of claw teeth protruding from its mouth, while the giant teeth are hollow inside, with an elastic muscle that can eject a sharp tube from the teeth.

When the stone armor predator bites into the prey’s body, it can inject toxins into the prey through the straw-like organ.

Although this toxin is no longer lethal to the second-order Transcendent One, it still has a short-term nerve paralysis effect, causing partial paralysis of the prey’s body functions within a limited period of time.

The whole autopsy took Lin Ze more than half an hour, but he was not ready to take away any body materials.

The reason why Lin Ze is willing to take the time to dissect and observe is that he wants to practice it himself and further combine the theoretical knowledge he heard from the trade union Kyle with practice, hoping to be more helpful to this task.
