Chapter 36 Hearse Transformation Competition
Just as Qiao Song expected, the dinosaur attacks at the first time node all originated from the sky.
Dense swarms of flying creatures were seen approaching the stone pillar forest, as dark as locusts. The players who returned to the stone pillars at this time were like a dish served on the table, waiting for the arrival of the kings of the sky.
The roar sounded somewhere between that of a bird and a dinosaur, more unpleasant than that of a pterosaur, and unusually high-pitched.
As the dinosaurs approached, they could gradually see their colorful feathers in the sunlight. Adding to the terrifying number of them, Qiao Song immediately guessed, "This isn't a group of pterosaurs. Tang Xiaoxiao, use the book to cover the frame first!"
A huge Chinese language textbook immediately flipped into a roll, wrapping the frame inside. Tang Xiaoxiao and Qiao Song stood at one end of the roll respectively.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ni was still trying to get out of the rearview mirror. He was now in a translucent jelly state, as if he was stuck for a moment because of a strange black egg wrapped in his stomach.
At this time, the first wave of attackers had already flown near their platform. Qiao Song replaced the sledgehammer with a small hammer because such a big thing was not necessary to deal with these small creatures.
The attacker was about the same size as an ordinary chicken, with long, hooked feathers on its front and hind limbs, which at first glance looked like it had four wings.
Tang Xiaoxiao had already started controlling the second book, sweeping away a large number of little dinosaurs in one go.
"Sister Qiao Song, why are these dinosaurs so small? They look like birds."
Each little dinosaur is covered with a thick layer of feathers in colorful colors. It really looks a bit like a pheasant, except that it is a dinosaur chicken with four wings.
Qiao Song hit a small dinosaur's head with a hammer, like playing whack-a-mole.
"This is Microraptor, one of the smallest dinosaurs, but this guy eats meat. If you can't defend against it, just hide in the books and block the entrance!"
It is not difficult to fight these small dinosaurs, but there are too many of them, and their teeth are very sharp. They will go for people's limbs right away, which is as annoying as slapping mosquitoes in the grass in summer.
Qiao Song swung his two hammers with great force and also took the time to observe the situation on other platforms.
This attack is not as terrifying as imagined. Most players can use weapons to resist it. The only problem is the number, and not every group has a book like Tang Xiaoxiao that is both offensive and defensive.
Qiao Song could already see that a stone platform in the distance was almost surrounded by these feathered Microraptors. They were so densely packed that they were all arched over their car frame. At first glance, it looked as if the car had grown feathers.
This stone pillar platform was the one where the pterosaur had fought before. A middle-aged man with a look of misfortune was seen waving a folding chair that suddenly appeared in his hand, with one bench and one dinosaur.
His aim was good, but the number of attackers in front of him was so great that he was terrified. Hundreds of them coming at once was too outrageous. How could he finish them all? ! !
The only comforting thing is that the bench in his hand seems to be extremely powerful, and as long as it hits the target, it can kill instantly.
[Fishing Man's Five-piece Set: The Folding Chair You're Used to Sitting On]
[Although it is normal to catch nothing after 30 years of fishing by the river, at least I will never leave the chair I am used to sitting on! Occasionally, when I catch a big fish, I can use it to hit the fish head with a hammer. What? You said I can't catch a big fish at all, stop talking nonsense! ]
[When using this folding chair to hit any living creature, the attack power is doubled. If the target is an underwater creature, the attack power is multiplied by ten.]
For a middle-aged man who is weak and only becomes Popeye when fishing, hitting little dinosaurs with a chair is too much! How long will it take to beat them one by one?
He immediately shouted for his companions to help: "Smelly boy, isn't there a character you're controlling who can use fire? Try using fire first. These hairy guys must be afraid of fire!"
His companion was also anxious: "A game character can only be summoned once a day, and there is only one with the fire skill. What will we do in the evening if we use it now?!"
"If you don't use your skills, they will eat up our car completely!"
After saying that, the bench in the hand of this fragile fisherman was actually bitten away by this group of intelligent little dinosaurs. He was so angry that he quickly took out another one.
"If you keep dithering, neither of us will be able to wait until night, not to mention the car!"
The young boy, who was originally using a bench to hit the dinosaur, finally compromised, and a game controller suddenly appeared in his hand.
[Being bad at e-sports is the original sin]
[After using a skill each time, you can summon a specific game character from the card pool. The effects of all the skills of this character depend on the level of the game character and the player's manipulation skills. Every time you defeat a unit, you can permanently gain upgrade experience. What? You said that you have summoned a creature, why can't you automatically attack the target? I have already said that being bad at e-sports is the original sin! Note: The average level of your current game character is level 12. ]
The young boy summoned a dwarf warrior covered with red rocks. Under the control of the game controller, the dwarf warrior pulled out the axe on his back that seemed to be flowing with magma. After a jump, he swung the axe at the densely packed little dinosaurs on the frame.
In an instant, a ball of gorgeous flame flew along the tip of the axe like a dragon and directly hit the vehicle. In just a moment, it swallowed up all the little dinosaurs on the frame.
But this big move seemed to drain all the energy of the dwarf warrior, making his figure instantly blurry.
The young boy seemed to know that the game character could not hold on for much longer, and quickly controlled him to swing the axe several times in succession, until the last flame flew and swallowed up all the remaining Microraptors on the platform. The boy then sat down on the platform with sweat on his face.
At this time, his uncle brought him a chair, with an expression of relief and relief as if he had survived a disaster.
"I told you that the fire is useful. Take a break for a while."
The young boy said with a bitter face: "This dwarf warrior is the highest level game character I can control. Now that he is used up, we won't have such a high level guard at night."
His uncle, who loved fishing, patted him on the shoulder.
"It's okay, I'll watch over you at night. Uncle, I have a night fishing skill, so we just need to save our lives."
Unlike the uncle-nephew duo who have been lacking exercise for many years and gave up right after defeating the dinosaurs, other platforms are still busy dealing with the attacks of these little dinosaurs.
Fortunately, these dinosaurs seem to have a fixed number, and each platform will be allocated a certain number. After killing them all, no new dinosaurs will be added.
After all kinds of strange props and abilities were used by players, colorful skill effects were everywhere for a while.
Qiao Song multitasked, roughly identifying the conditions of each platform within her field of vision, paying special attention to the platforms near her. She also silently remembered the uncle and nephew who had just used that astonishing flame. Although it seemed that they were prone to losing momentum, the power that burst out in that instant was still quite interesting.
In addition, Gao Chengcheng, who was not far away, also surprised Qiao Song. The platform where the little girl was located was probably the most harmonious one among all the battlefields.
A freezer with an ice cream cone painted on it suddenly appeared in front of Gao Chengcheng. She calmly opened the freezer door and quickly threw out a dozen ice cream cones. In an instant, those huge little dinosaurs surrounded her like chicks just out of a chicken farm and started eating the ice cream on the ground, without any intention of attacking them.
【Magic Ice Cream House】
[Ice cream is the most delicious food in the world, no creature can resist it! ]
[The current ice cream category is the sweet and fragrant rum wine cone. After eating it, just take a good sleep~]
The Microraptors, who had licked the ice cream uncontrollably, soon snored like dead and slept together in a ball.
Then Gao Chengcheng ordered his brother to kick them off the platform one by one.
The Doberman didn't say much, but just started cleaning up the battlefield diligently.
Each family used their own methods, some fierce, some mild. This round of Microraptor crisis was not as troublesome as imagined. At most, the number was just a little too much.
About 10 minutes later, the number of Microraptors gradually decreased, and this wave of air strikes was finally coming to an end.
Many players successfully survived this attack using props or other means. After all, although these Microraptors were numerous, their attack power was not that strong. The only problem was the damage to the vehicle.
"It's over, my frame!"
The uncle and nephew, who had been resting on folding chairs for a while before getting up to check the condition of their car, screamed instantly.
With one big move, the nephew killed all the Microraptors on the platform. They originally thought that there wouldn't be any major losses, but who knew that in just a few minutes, those Microraptors actually bit the car body that they had built, which was one-third of the car body, into pits and holes.
They used ordinary C-grade metal shell for the car body, so they didn't feel bad if it was bitten, but the problem was that the frame supporting the whole car had obvious gaps in many places.
If there are two more raids, it will be questionable whether the rear frame of the car can be saved.
How come these little chicken-like creatures have such strong attack power and they specifically chew on the car frames? What’s the meaning of this?
After this wave of attacks ended, many other people also discovered that in addition to wanting to bite people, those Microraptors were more interested in biting car frames. They didn't care much about the material of the car body, but were more interested in the frame supporting the car.
Not far from Qiao Song, the yellow-haired trio, who had just finished a round of defense, also contacted Qiao Song via their cell phones.
AAA card for haircut and hairdressing is 20% off: Sister Qiao, those little dinosaurs actually bit off a piece of the frame on our side, how is it on your side?
Joe: There is no loss on our side.
Joe: Only the frame of your bike?
80% off for AAA haircut and hairdressing: Yes, they wanted to bite our hands, but Fatty made some clay doll protective gear for us to cover all the exposed skin. But there were too many of them, and the few that were missed went straight for the car.
If he had prepared in advance, Fatty could have covered the entire car with mud, but wasn't the attack too sudden? A potter's skills almost always require advance preparation, and Fatty had never thought of making such a large mud cover before.
Qiao Song recalled the habits of Microraptor and sent the message, "It likes to eat carrion, so the frame may be made of some creature's bones."
Soon I received several exclamation marks.
Tang Xiaoxiao did not put the book away at this moment. Sister Qiao Song said that while the skill is in effect, it would not be wasted if it was kept here as a shield.
"Sister Qiao Song, do you mean that these frames are made of bones?"
Qiao Song tapped on their intact frames with his fingertips. From the sound and the touch of his fingertips, he could vaguely feel the unique texture of bones.
"It's very likely, otherwise these Microraptors wouldn't keep gnawing at the car frame. If they were just here to cause damage, they could have just scratched and torn up all the car body materials and tires collected by the players instead of just gnawing at the hard frame."
Moreover, if the frame is made of bones, then this car-building competition will be interesting. Since bones can be made into car frames, will the score change if a car is built directly with biological materials?
Isn't this a reminder to players that they can use special local creatures to transform vehicles?
Qiao Song recalled the modified vehicle styles that he had quickly browsed through. While the styles were very different, it could be seen that the external materials of some parts were indeed very strange.
For example, the unique spikes on the front of some cars look very much like the horns of a Triceratops.
Is it possible that the correct way to transform vehicles in this Jurassic arena is to directly use dinosaurs to build cars?
Qiao Song suppressed this strange thought in her heart. The most urgent thing was to observe the movements of other platforms. After all, the food in her pocket had been reported by all platforms.
After dealing with the dinosaurs, she would have to deal with humans. But there was no rush for now. The game had only been over for 12 hours, and the opponent would not attack directly in broad daylight. She had to create some opportunities for them.
Several people collected the bodies of the Microraptors killed on the platform, and Qiao Song took out a large pile of firewood from his bag.
"It's time for dinner, it's a waste to leave these things like this."
At first glance, Microraptor appears to have four wings, but this is actually because its hind legs are also covered with feathers, making it look like the forelimbs were simply copied and pasted.
Tang Xiaoxiao was surprised to see her sister Qiao Song skillfully plucked the feathers and skinned them, just like cooking chickens, and processed all the Microraptors that finally fell on the platform, and finally strung them up with branches.
You know what, except for the slightly big head, it really looks like a chicken after this treatment.
"Sister Qiao Song, is this really edible?"
Qiao Song calmly made a pile of firewood: "It doesn't necessarily mean we will eat it."
Aren’t there still some guests who want to maintain long-term relations?
Sure enough, about an hour later, the sturdy pterosaur landed on their platform again, but this time Qiao Song did not throw out the food in the white bag.
It was not known whether the food had been specially processed, but as soon as the bag was opened, it would quickly attract the dinosaur's attention. However, perhaps because it had been fed too many times before, this pterosaur with a small feather on the tip of its tail had always been paying attention to the stone pillar platform where Qiao Song was.
Longlong's eyes turned into small black balls again, staring at Qiao Song who was grilling meat over flames without blinking.
Although it is not a special food whose fragrance particularly attracts dragons, the things this human is baking now are also very fragrant.
Qiao Song didn't even look at it. He just silently roasted one and collected it, roasted one and collected it, and then piled the roasted dragon meat together.
There were several piles of different kinds of berries placed next to it.
The dinosaurs mostly ate raw food, and the food in those white pockets was added with some kind of sedative and hypnotic ingredients for them. Although it was delicious enough, the most essential taste of the food was also attractive enough to these pterosaurs.
After seeing the pterosaur eat a few bites of meat and a few more bites of nuts to relieve the greasiness, Qiao Song nodded: "It seems to be non-toxic."
Tang Xiaoxiao: Sister, you are testing poison...
Qiao Song stared at the pterosaur eating with relish, as if he was staring at a puppy he was about to raise.
"So, players don't have to rely entirely on the food in the white bags. These dinosaurs should be born with their own favorite foods."
The food in the white bag is too potent, there should be something extra added.
As for pterosaurs, she remembered that they would lay eggs in the sand near the water. Their favorite food was fish, shrimp and fruit. She would see if she could prepare some in advance later.
Tang Xiaoxiao silently took notes: "Sister Qiao Song, how do you know this?"
"I worked part-time at the Dinosaur Museum during the summer vacation before, so I vaguely remember it." Qiao Song patted the firewood ash on his hands and stood up. "By the way, is Xiao Ni still hatching eggs there?"
Before the dinosaur attack, Xiao Ni found a big black egg nearby. After bringing it back, he kept wrapping it with his body.
Apart from helping Tang Xiaoxiao a few times when the Microraptor attacked, Xiao Ni then stayed in the car frame rolled up by books, saying that he wanted to hatch the egg.
When Qiao Song came in, the little guy was still staring at the big black egg intently.
In order to hatch the eggs, his body remained translucent. The right half of his body was separated and turned into a ball of translucent jelly, tightly wrapping the black thing.
Who didn’t like dinosaurs during puberty? Boys of this age are no exception.
Seeing Xiao Ni so focused and expectant, Qiao Song couldn't help but tease him:
"Didn't you say before that this thing felt like it was artificial? Why do you feel like it's a real egg now?"
Xiao Ni immediately whispered, "I felt it move inside the egg, very lightly, like a chick pecking at the eggshell."
Which child would be able to resist observing a dinosaur egg that is suspected to be about to hatch?
Even Tang Xiaoxiao, who was standing nearby, was eager to make a move.
If the egg hadn't been wrapped and waiting to hatch, she would have wanted to touch it a few more times.
When Xiao Ni is in a transparent state, he can change the properties of some parts of his body and slightly control the temperature. He tried for a long time before he found a suitable temperature. He can always feel the movement and comfortable emotions coming from inside the egg.
After Qiao Song finished watching Xiao Ni hatching eggs, the pterosaur that had eaten and drunk enough outside had not left yet. When it saw her come out, it let out a howl and greeted her.
It seems to be saying, I'm full, do you want to ride on and go for a walk?
Compared to the immediate food supplies in the white bag, this localized barbecue with berries actually made the pterosaur very satisfied.
The only thing was that the amount needed was a bit too much. The barbecued Microraptors, which were piled up like a small mountain, numbering at least a hundred, were all eaten up by it in a short time.
Qiao Song thought about it and decided that it was time to lure the snake out of its hole and resolve a number of hidden dangers.
"Tang Xiaoxiao, I'm going to go out for a walk. Pay attention. Besides Fatty and the others, there are strangers who come up and use props directly."
The girl who was watching Xiao Ni hatching eggs immediately came out and made an OK gesture.
This time when he was flying on the dragon, Qiao Song openly observed the situation on each platform from the altitude.
The losses of the teams on top of the stone pillar were not serious. Only the vehicle frames of a small number of people seemed to be damaged, and they were now scratching their heads around their vehicles.
From this, we can quickly distinguish the strength gap between the groups. Not every group protected their own cars tightly in the chaos just now.
For those that were stronger, the entire platform was clean, without even a dead Microraptor body. It was unknown whether it had been dealt with long ago, or if the invaders had no chance to land at all.
Qiao Song made special note of a few platforms that were particularly clean. There were even people on those platforms who looked up warily and made eye contact with her when she flew over.
If I remember correctly, one of the groups of middle-aged men seemed to be from the rookie alliance. They asked Xiao Ni, who rejected them, if he knew what ghost incense was.
However, I didn't see the magician You Yitong, maybe he was not on this level of the competition.
Qiao Song rode a pterosaur and traveled through the Jurassic Park where there were obviously more dinosaurs, but he was thinking that the microphone had said before that the contestants on the sixth floor came to the Jurassic theme arena, so could it be understood that the contestants on different floors were participating in the car-building competition in six places with different backgrounds?
If the floors are connected to each other, wouldn't the audience be able to watch six games at the same time?
She couldn't help but look up at the sky. Was the sky above the dome real? Or were they all surveillance cameras?
She was not in a hurry to find the so-called surveillance. What she wanted to know more was where the audience was hiding. Were those ghosts who were the audience the same group who would watch the highway death race later?
If so, then she would have to think carefully about whether or not to stand out too much in this game.
After observing Qiao Song leave the stone pillar platform where she was, people from several groups began to whisper to each other. Among the vehicle scores and physical resource intelligence announced previously, they were actually more concerned about the latter.
There were still more than two days to prepare for the vehicle transformation, and the final score would not be decided until the last second, but they had already deeply realized how important the food in those white resource bags was.
"There are three people on their platform. Two of them chose to stay where they are. The food resources should be carried by the girl. Our teammates have observed that she should have some kind of spatial storage ability. Her common weapon is just a hammer. Now that she is out alone, it is a good opportunity to take action."
There are some teams on the 50 stone pillars of this arena that are familiar with each other, like Huangmao and his team are quite familiar with Qiao Song. And these guys who formed a group before entering and exiting the dungeon also kept an eye on the previous resource broadcast, hoping to find opportunities to make extra money.
"She has more than twenty portions of food on her. She is probably out looking for resources again. When she succeeds, we will divide it among the three families."
"It's too early to talk about dividing the resources now. Let's just rely on our own abilities. I think that girl's attack ability is very limited. It seems that she can only play with a hammer. Whoever grabs it first will get it."
The three teams had not yet started to encircle Qiao Song, but out of greed, they began to scramble and chase in the direction of Qiao Song.
When they rode their pterosaurs to the place where Qiao Song landed, they saw a silly-looking pterosaur dozing off on the spot. When it saw them, it raised its head vigilantly and stared at them for a while.
Most of the pterosaurs that the players ride belong to the same species. The pterosaurs are just out to make a living and get paid, and they won't help the players fight. Several pterosaurs seemed to be placed in the same parking lot, sticking together for a while, as if they were talking, leaving the players to slowly step into the green primeval forest.
Qiao Song knew that someone would follow him, so he chose this place on purpose.
The vegetation here is extremely dense, with various unknown broad-leaved and thin-leaved plants entangled together. Occasionally, one or two palm-sized, lizard-like herbivorous dinosaurs will jump out from the tiny gaps between the layers.
The resources here had been cleaned up by her a long time ago. The highest-grade raw materials were grade B, so Qiao Song put them in his car. The reason why he chose this place again was because Qiao Song knew in advance that there was a large group of Triceratops that liked to take naps.
Those big heads with spikes on them were very sensitive to the smell of foreign creatures, and Qiao Song had already covered his body with a layer of wet sand and mud to prevent being discovered in advance.
She moved around, deliberately leaving a few footprints behind, waiting for the people following her to catch up.
The guys chasing her were not so smart. Each of them had all kinds of smoke and fire on their bodies, as well as the smell of human and blood from previous fights. Their tracking skills were also very poor. They moved among the green vegetation, making a lot of rustling noises.
After these fools who were tracking Qiao Song had been following her for quite some time, they were still wondering why the girl disappeared like a loach once she entered the forest, when suddenly they heard the ground shaking.
"What's going on? Can anyone go up the tree and take a look—"
However, this group of people were not so close that their friendship was stronger than iron. They were still wary of being robbed when the spoils were divided. When they heard that something was not right, they all backed off.
Only one or two brave ones wanted to climb to a high place to see if there was any movement in the distance.
But these guys reacted too slowly, and the Triceratops was too fast.
Suddenly, countless giant figures like speeding trucks rushed out from the lush green forest and dispersed the crowd in an instant.
Countless triceratops with spikes on their heads were awakened from their nap gathering places, chasing the scent of strangers like angry bulls, destroying everything in sight.
Those players were caught off guard and could only quickly use props or skills to save their lives.
"What's going on! Who of you just lured these dragons out?"
"We all moved together! You were the only one walking in the front. Why didn't you say that you were disturbing these guys by making too much noise when you walked?"
Even though they were escaping, only a few people actively used their skills to attack the Triceratops. After all, the skill buffer time for most people was 24 hours, and there would be a dinosaur raid at night. They did not dare to use up all their skills, let alone precious props.
"Damn it, where is that girl? Didn't she sneak into the forest early in the morning?"
Those who think a little faster have already understood it.
"Damn, we've been tricked. She must have known there were these big guys here, so she deliberately lured us here!"
But it was too late to say this now. After the commotion caused by this group of suckers attracted the attention of most of the Triceratops in the jungle, Qiao Song finally succeeded in approaching the habitat of those big guys.
The small earth pits piled up in advance, like the uneven surface of the moon, are evenly distributed in the center of the gathering place of the Triceratops and are strictly protected.
Normally, those guys guard this place very tightly and will chase us out at the slightest sign of trouble. There must be a reason for that.
Qiao Song knew that his bet was right, as the Triceratops were actually laying eggs here.
In each small pit, there are more or less 1 to 3 large white eggs.
No wonder they are vegetarians but have such bad tempers.
She didn't touch the big white eggs for the time being. The habitat of these Triceratops, which had a bad temper after laying eggs, should be a high-level dangerous environment. She had been able to find B-class car raw materials on the outskirts before, so what about in the base camp where they laid eggs?
Qiao Song moved quickly and quietly between the nests, and finally saw a familiar Hearse Entertainment logo in the corner of a sand pit.
Under the bright red badge, there was a small A written on it.
This time she actually found a Class A car engine!
