Chapter 950 Private Hunter(1/2)
Ice Storm couldn't bear it anymore.
If the first few servants that Meng Chao helped her "carefully select" from the depths of the dungeon were considered "mediocre", this middle-aged man with hands and feet slender than leaves and a wrinkled face,
It can be regarded as a "crooked melon and cracked jujube".
Ice Storm looked at the spider from hair to tail for several rounds, but he didn't see how this guy who seemed to be knocked down by a gust of wind had any qualifications to become his servant.
"Is this guy named 'Spider' more powerful than those strong men who have gone through the 'Road of Glory'?"
Ice Storm suppressed the anger that was about to explode and asked with a frown.
"I have no idea."
Meng Chao shook his head and said calmly, "But if he is locked in the same cell with a totem beast along with the ten strong men who lined up behind Ye Ye and went through the 'Road of Glory', I bet that he will be imprisoned."
All bets are that the one who can persist to the end must be this 'Spider'."
Ice Storm's white eyebrows were raised high.
Unexpectedly, Meng Chao had such a high opinion of this middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance.
"Why?" The Snow Leopard female warrior couldn't help but ask.
"Because he is the person who has persisted longest in the depths of the dungeon besides me."
Meng Chao said, "He persisted in the depths of the dungeon for ten days, and he is still standing and jumping around."
"But he's very thin."
Ice Storm said, "It seems that we didn't grab many fried mandala fruits."
"That's what's great about him."
Meng Chao said, "If he is a strong rat citizen, he can grab the most food as soon as he enters the dungeon. As he eats more and more, no one will dare to compete with him. He only needs to stay comfortably for two days.
It only takes three days to climb out of the dungeon and enter the boot camp. Isn't that too high?
"But 'Spider' looks so thin, and his physical strength is gradually declining. He has to try his best every round. Even if he grabs the fried mandala fruit, there is no guarantee that others will not snatch it from him again.
"For such people, every round of food delivery is a life and death test.
"You must mobilize all your strength, wisdom, and strategies, and even have to understand people's hearts, know the choices, and learn to cooperate, in order to pass the test.
"And he has passed dozens of rounds of life and death tests. Although his performance is not too outstanding, it is natural. If a person like him performed too outstandingly, he would have become a standout and besieged by others.
"But he survived in the end and was able to straighten his spine and climb out of the dungeon with his own strength.
"That's why I believe that if he and those strong men who have not gone through the test of life and death are put into the worst environment at the same time, he will definitely be the one who survives to the end."
Ice Storm clearly didn't believe it.
Meng Chao smiled and continued: "And, if I read it correctly, he even hides some strength, and he is by no means as weak as he appears."
"What?"
Ice Storm's curiosity aroused.
She put her hands behind her back and slowly walked past the servants.
When passing the spider, he didn't even look at him.
But after walking four or five arms' length, he suddenly flicked his tail and threw a sharp ice pick towards the spider's face.
The spider was frightened.
In an instinctive reaction, his limbs suddenly shrank and flicked.
The whole person was like a giant spider, standing on all fours and twisting in strange postures, avoiding attacks that looked cruel but were actually ice flowers and had no lethality at all.
Ice flowers turned into cold sweat on his forehead.
The spider groaned secretly.
I knew that it might not be that easy to escape from such a heavily guarded Blood Skull Arena and from the sight of this monster with black hair and eyes.
Ice Storm was surprised.
"really!"
She was surprised and delighted, "How did you see it? What else could you see?"
Meng Chao smiled slightly, ignored the first half of the question, and answered the second half directly: "I can also see that he is a hunter."
"Private hunter?"
Ice Storm was even more surprised by this.
Turanze's water plants are luxuriant, and the datura trees are deeply rooted in the harshest environment, making the mountains and plains full of lush woods.
Between the grasslands and the mountains and forests, there are naturally countless birds and animals.
However, the rat people cannot hunt privately without the permission and guidance of the clan master.
The superficial reason is that cowards with dirty blood flowing through their bodies are not worthy of engaging in such a noble and courageous profession as hunting.
In fact, it is the clan masters who need a large number of totem beasts in the mountains and forests.
The body of the totem beast contains a weak power of totem.
In the words of Dragon City Civilization, it is the flesh and blood of super beasts rich in spiritual energy.
The clan masters can become stronger and stronger by devouring enough flesh and blood of the totem beast, and by the way, they can use the bones and blood of the totem beast to strengthen their own totems.
This is the same as the extraordinary beings in Dragon City.
But the totem beast, which is equivalent to a monster, also has an astonishing appetite for food.
Only when a large number of wild beasts serve as the basis of the food chain can a large number of totem beasts appear for the clan masters to hunt, devour and utilize.
What if the rat people, who are a hundred times more numerous than the clan masters, all eat the marrow to know the taste, and do not eat the datura fruit, but like meat, and eat up all the wild beasts.
The number of totem beasts that lack food will definitely decrease significantly.
That will affect the enjoyment of the clan masters.
Therefore, the five major clans have issued hunting bans against rat people.
Of course, when Datura fruits are abundant, the rat people are not willing to risk their lives by going hunting in the deep mountains and old forests.
Although to the powerful Turan people, ordinary beasts are nothing.
But totem beasts are more terrifying than monsters.
To put it simply and crudely, totem beasts can be regarded as close relatives of monsters.
It's just that the number is not as large as the surging beast tide in the Monster Mountain Range, and they lack a "master brain" to integrate all the totem beasts.
Therefore, they have been suppressed and even supported by the Turan people.
But compared to monsters, totem beasts also have a very scary place.
That is, they contain the "power of totem" within their bodies, and like totem warriors, they can summon totem armor.
Just imagine, the monster with its teeth and claws is already very difficult to deal with.
If the monster's body can secrete a substance similar to liquid metal, it can form ferocious armor or even complex mechanical structures on the surface of the body.
That is simply a nightmare for carbon-based intelligent creatures.
Even for clan warriors with noble blood, the casualty rate when hunting totem beasts is very high.
For the rat people who lack the power of totems, totem beasts are existences that they cannot compete with.
Under normal circumstances, just using the excuse of "I'm tired of Datura fruits and want a change of taste" will not attract rat people into the mountains for hunting.
The more common situation is that they are escorted by the clan masters and sent to the depths of the mountain forest where totem beasts often appear to be used as bait to lure the totem beasts out for the clan masters.
The rat people who want to become private hunters at the risk of losing their heads are all clever and daring beings.
Ice Storm became interested in spiders.
Now is the Age of Glory.
All the rules of the Prosperous Era, including the hunting ban, were shattered.
Moreover, she was not from the Bloodhoof clan and had no interest in upholding the hunting ban for the Bloodhoof clan.
"Are you a hunter?"
She looked at the spider with interest.
The middle-aged ratman's wrinkles were scrunched up, and his face became more and more sad, and he didn't know how to answer.
Ice Storm turned its attention to Meng Chao again.
"People who work or fight all year round have calluses on their hands and a lot of scars on their bodies, but the calluses and scars of gatherers, planters, harvesters, hunters and even professional warriors are all different."
Meng Chao knew what Ice Storm was going to ask, so he answered calmly, "Carefully observe the distribution of calluses on his hands, the faint scars on his body, and his muscle lines. You can naturally see that he is an experienced veteran."
, a well-trained hunter.”
The corner of Ice Storm's eye twitched.
Xin said: "How can it be seen 'naturally'? How is it 'natural' in this!"
