MTL - After Cheating, I Became the Strongest Beast Master-Chapter 53 Safe place

Chapter 53 Safe Zone

The giant-bellied tiger prawn was beaten so hard that the armor on its back was so pitted that it was almost dried to pieces.

It's not that it doesn't use skills to counterattack, it's just that the skills fall on the opponent without any pain or itching. The blue light on the opponent's body flashes, and the injury is restored to the original.

 Fortunately, the opponent did not make a killing move, and finally released the crocodile's claws leisurely, and the giant-bellied tiger shrimp turned and left without looking back.

 After a battle, Taotie emerged from the water after crushing his opponent happily, and acted triumphantly at his master, like a puppy asking for praise.

 “Performing well.”

Taotie howled happily, indicating that he would definitely protect his master.

 Chen Xing found that he seemed to have misjudged Taotie's physical strength. Although he had not mastered the attack skills, it did not seem difficult to crush monsters of the same level with his current physical strength.

Its physical body has developed ahead of schedule. Logically speaking, a physical body of this size should not be available at the current energy level.

 Normally, a saltwater crocodile with a higher energy level should be able to develop to its current size. However, because the nutrition is too good, Taotie develops in advance, and its physical body exceeds the scope of the current energy level.

Perhaps this is the benefit of actual combat, as you can more clearly and intuitively discover your abilities in all aspects of controlling beasts.

 Cross the pontoon bridge and come to the city gate ahead.

After walking in, you can clearly see some stubborn weeds growing out of the gaps in the wall. There is also slippery moss near the city wall that borders the water surface. The turbid water surface next to the corner of the wall is densely covered with water plants.

There are some water snails hanging in the area of ​​the city wall close to the water, and sometimes you can see the movement of some fish.

There should have been two gates at the city gate. Now they have been demolished. You can walk on a pontoon to pass through the hole.

I don’t know what material this pontoon bridge is made of. The three-meter-wide pontoon bridge didn’t shake even when the beast stepped on it.

 The buildings inside the city are lined up one after another.

Some buildings are slightly taller, and some are slightly lower. Most of the lower buildings are submerged in the water, and there are scaffoldings built in front of the taller buildings, like semi-finished products on a construction site. There are also some places where platforms have been poured with cement, scattered throughout the city.

  You can feel the artificial interference environment in many places inside the city.

On a platform not far away, there was a middle-aged man with a fishing rod and a fishing rod. The long rod in his hand suddenly became round and tight, and the fishing line made a buzzing sound. Next to the fisherman, a big spotted cat was curled up and sleeping.

 Chen Xing took a look, it was a level 45 jungle hunter.

I'm afraid even if the Green King Snail comes, it will be slapped twice.

 Tian Xuechuan expressed shock, "Damn it, there are still fishing guys here! Are the fishing guys randomly refreshed around the world?"

“Tickets to Zecheng’s Secret Land are not expensive at 30,000 each. Some wealthy fishermen often come in to fish.” The bald man was used to this.

Wu Ju's expression was subtle, "My dad also likes live bait fishing. He sometimes buys tickets to fish in secret realms. My mom has said it many times, but it's useless. He just enjoys the excitement of not knowing what monster he can catch in the next second. ."

"Okay, now we have officially entered the secret realm. Unless there is fatal danger, neither Lao Zhao nor I will take action. We come to the secret realm to learn something, otherwise it will be a waste of time and energy." Kuang Shiyi said.

"You have to treat this place like a wilderness. The territory of Zecheng Secret Realm alone is eighty square kilometers. There are hundreds of thousands of monsters living here. Some are in the water and some are in houses on the roadside. Your next task is to live in the secret realm for three days and two nights, and today is the first day."

 At this point, Kuang Shiyi paused, and then said to Chen Xing and the others.

“Because you have different strengths, the training you can receive when seven of you are together is quite different, so we will be divided into two teams. The four regular members will be in one group and I will be in one group. The three reserve members will be in one group with Lao Zhao.”

The bald man smiled at Chen Xing and the others and made a "yeah" gesture.

Kuang Shiyi introduced to Chen Xing and others, "Old Zhao used to be in the reconnaissance company of the army. He has rich survival skills in the wild. You should learn from him these three days and try to make use of his skills."

Chen Xing was thoughtful after hearing this. Lao Zhao used to be in the army's reconnaissance company, so Teacher Kuang should also have retired from the reconnaissance company?

They all control the same beasts, and they should be the unified standard beast control in the army.

 No wonder the skill combination of Burning Hunter Bee seems to be reconnaissance, tracking, and high mobility. After Kuang Shiyi and the other five left, the bald uncle introduced himself to the three of them with a smile, "Hello, my surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Liang. You can just call me Brother Zhao. Anyway, you are not allowed to call me Lao Zhao, so as not to call me old. "

 The three of them called out Brother Zhao in tacit understanding.

“Haha, it’s your first time in the secret realm.”

“First time.” Zhou Hao was still looking around when he spoke.

Although his family situation is good, this is his first time in a secret place.

 His family did not allow him to come to such a dangerous place before.

 “Let’s go, find a place to sit.”

Zhao Liang took the three of them to sit down on a nearby stone step.

“Let me tell you something. Unless the secret realm is opened up, the most dangerous thing in a mature and developed secret realm like this is actually not the beasts—it’s the people.”

"You can think about how a group of wild monsters who only act on instinct and have fixed hunting habits can compete with beast masters who have received professional skills training, are full of cunning thinking, know how to lay traps, and use every possible means to control the beasts. Compared to a beast master?"

“If a monster can’t defeat you, it will run away. If a beast master cannot defeat you, he will pretend to surrender, or if he runs away, you will chase him. He may also set up an ambush halfway and sneak attack you.”

 Chen Xing and the other three couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

"Of course, these experiences are only applicable to secret realms. They are not applicable to secret realms opened up, let alone foreign lands."

“Brother Zhao, have you ever been to a foreign land?” Wang Bing asked enthusiastically.

"Of course I have. Teacher Kuang and I have performed missions in foreign lands before. However, I can't tell you the specific mission because it is confidential, but I can tell you that the monsters in foreign lands are really different from the monsters in the secret realm. Over there The monsters are essentially the same as the monsters in our territory, they are all of the same species.

  But exotic resources are more abundant, competition between different races is fierce, and the weather is extremely changeable! The density of monsters is also very high, which also leads to frequent fights between monsters in foreign lands. Coupled with abundant resources, it is easy to create "real monsters". Although they have not received professional training, the battlefield is the best teacher. The high frequency of battles makes the monsters that grow up in foreign lands completely abnormal. "

"In recent years, I heard that the higher-ups are planning to increase actual combat training, and there is also the idea of ​​expanding the army." At this point, Zhao Liang sighed secretly. Actual combat also means a higher death rate, and more people will be buried in other places.

"The secret realm of wasteland reclamation is similar to the foreign land. The environment in the secret realm of wasteland reclamation is similar to that of the foreign land to a large extent, including the density of monsters inside. Therefore, the secret realm of wasteland reclamation is very dangerous. If you go to the secret realm to open up wasteland one day, don't be brave and follow the large army. Just push forward slowly.”

 After speaking, Zhao Liang took out a map from the backpack behind him.

“Now take out your map and I’ll teach you how to read the map. Do you see the green dot marked on the map?”

 Chen Xing and the others took out the map, and there were indeed five green circles on the map.

Zhao Liang pointed to the marks on the map and said: "These five green circles are the 'safe zones' in the city. They were built by the government. Although the environment inside is simple, you can rest inside at night. If you are injured, you can also go to the safe zone to call for help. , there will be specialized staff inside to send you out of the secret realm for treatment. This safe zone is only found in well-trained secret realms like Zecheng Secret Realm, and is not available in ordinary secret realms."

“But if it’s too late to rest in a safe area, you can only sleep in the wild. At this time, choosing a resting place is very important.”

“See the red area marked on the map?”

 Chen Xing discovered that there were indeed some red areas on the map, like red sores growing on the map, which were bright red and eye-catching.

“I see it,” Chen Xing said, while Zhou Hao and Wang Bing nodded.

“The red area is the danger zone, also called the high-death zone. This is the area with the highest death rate since the statistics of the secret realm, which means that the monsters here are more dangerous than other places. So you should try to stay away from the danger zone when you sleep at night.”

“If it is too late and you cannot leave the danger zone, you must learn to choose a resting point. The selection of resting points depends on three key points: leeward and shade, and safety assessment.”

"The most important thing is to rest in a place with only one exit. Otherwise, the only exit will be blocked, and you will be the turtle in the urn. It is also important to have the wind and shade, which affects the quality of your sleep at night. The safety assessment is done before taking a rest. Conduct reconnaissance of the nearby environment to see if there are frequent monster activity areas nearby, and whether there are certain monsters’ lairs nearby.”

“Of course the key point is to adapt to local conditions. After all, it is impossible to guarantee that you can find a completely satisfactory place at any time. We will not go to the safe zone tonight and will take you to sleep outdoors.”
