"There is no equipment, only this lump of iron and this meat."

Zhou Changqing heard a player say with a hint of disappointment.

"You know nothing. This game is so realistic. How can you find armor from corpses? It must be just the raw materials!"

Another player immediately retorted.

"We are here for the minerals on it, so hurry up and dig them up."

Some players have already started using the weapons in their hands to separate the flesh and blood from the mineral shell, taking the lead.

When other players saw this, they also scrambled to climb onto the iron lizard's corpse, digging for ore amid the smell of blood and the burnt aroma of the wounds burned by Trist's [Simulated Sunfire].

Zhou Changqing came to the cross-section of the fatal wound. This place was charred due to the high temperature at that moment. Not to mention the flesh and blood, even the mineral shell melted and turned into magma rolling to the ground.

But at deeper places, the flesh and blood are still preserved, and the high temperature roasting causes the Maillard reaction, producing a barbecue-like burnt aroma.

The visceral fat content of animals is very high, especially that of the iron lizard, which usually sits motionless like a wooden man. Its stomach is full of fat intestines, and after being roasted at high temperature, the aroma makes Zhou Changqing drool.

When he came near here and saw the deliciously roasted meat, a bold idea popped into his mind.

Picking up the sword, Zhou Changqing cut off a piece of the slightly blackened barbecue.

The surface of the meat is a slightly yellowish-black caramel color, the cross-section is slightly lighter in color, and the meat has a strong aroma. Even though it is virtual, Zhou Changqing couldn't help but secrete a lot of saliva.

"What are you going to do?"

The players next to him looked at Zhou Changqing and felt that something was wrong with him.

"I'll just give it a try."

Once the thought came to his mind, Zhou Changqing could no longer stop it.

He stuffed the piece of meat into his mouth, and the first thing his teeth came into contact with was the crispy part on the surface. The touch made Zhou Changqing almost cry. He hadn't eaten such barbecue for a long time. As his teeth continued to move in, the slightly soft meat formed a sharp contrast with the crispy skin. Although the taste was bland due to the lack of salt, the texture was first-class.

"tasty!"

He ate the piece of meat quickly.

The virtual satisfaction made Zhou Changqing feel happy, and he quickly picked up the sword again, ready to cut more meat.

In reality, he might not be able to enjoy it to his heart's content due to diet control and other reasons, but in the game, he can eat and drink whatever he wants!

"Are you okay?"

The players standing by watched Zhou Changqing happily eat another piece of iron lizard meat, and they also felt greedy and eager to try.

"I'll give you a taste."

Zhou Changqing handed the meat to the player, and the two of them quickly began to enjoy the barbecue.

The surrounding players saw this and followed suit. For a moment, the originally tragic battlefield suddenly turned into an open-air barbecue party.

Zhou Changqing continued to cut down with his sword, trying to dig out more meat, but suddenly, he saw that something seemed to be trembling slightly in the already somewhat raw meat.

He poked it with his sword, but the thing shrank back, forming a small hole.

"What the hell?"

Zhou Changqing leaned over and observed carefully.

He saw that there seemed to be something white in the hole, wriggling slowly. Just as Zhou Changqing turned around and called other players to come and see, the speed of the thing's wriggling suddenly increased.

Zhou Changqing turned around and saw six eyes glowing with fluorescence in the hole, staring at him fiercely.

The next moment, the thing jumped out of the iron lizard's flesh and blood cave and pounced directly on Zhou Changqing's face.

That's a bug!

The front end of the insect's body was spherical, but it had countless slender arthropods. At this moment, the sharp ends of those feet were tightly holding Zhou Changqing's head, causing him to fall backwards.

The lower body of the insect is soft and long like a sausage, hanging behind the hard head like an elephant's trunk.

"Fuck!"

The player who had just shared the iron lizard meat with Zhou Changqing suddenly panicked and almost fell off the iron lizard. He even forgot that he had a weapon in his hand and just shouted a few times to attract other players over.

A player, who looked like a tester, said nothing and swung his sword at the insect, cutting open its fat belly.

Puff——

Light yellow juice spurted out and splashed onto the two players, and the stench of incompletely digested rotten meat filled the air.

The insect twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

The player used a sword to pry open the dead insects, only to see that Zhou Changqing's head had been eaten away in half, his flesh and blood looking hideous. Soon, Zhou Changqing's body turned into dust and drifted away with the wind.

"This looks like a parasite, everyone better be careful."

the player shouted.

The players who had been greedily dividing up the iron lizard became more restrained after witnessing this tragic scene and began to carefully explore the iron lizard's body.

In the live broadcast room, Zheng Li, who had just seen this scene, took a breath.

The bug just now was similar to the facehugger, parasitic on the iron lizard and digging into its flesh. For such a large creature, the parasite is also very large and very dangerous.

In the blink of an eye, such a large piece of his head was bitten off. If I encountered it myself, it would probably be gone in minutes.

He noticed that this monster did not drop any equipment, only materials. Although he felt a little disappointed, he thought about it carefully and realized that in this completely simulated world, it was strange to drop equipment when killing monsters. This realistic way of extracting materials was quite reasonable.

Moreover, the whole body of the iron lizard is a treasure.

The shell of the ore becomes iron after smelting. Its meat can be eaten, and its bones are refined iron that has been condensed and quenched for a long time. Such a big monster is enough to be carried for a while.

The live broadcast ended quickly, but Zheng Li felt that it was not enough.

This game satisfied all his dreams and expectations for fantasy games. It was like a real other world and made Zheng Li intoxicated.

On the Internet, there are often some topics that trick people into posting replies by boasting about their experiences, such as what book would you read if you could only read it in your lifetime, or what game would you choose if you could only play one game in your lifetime. The replies below are all kinds of random stuff.

If it were in the past, Zheng Li might have thought about it again.

But now, if he could only play one game for the rest of his life, he would definitely choose [Cage]!

We have to say that the effect of this large-scale live broadcast was quite good. On the same day, the email server of Silent Media crashed because there were so many people sending emails to ask when the third batch of tests and public beta tests would be launched. Even the number of comments under the official Weibo account exceeded the maximum number of display digits and a bug occurred.

But for the players, these are all empty talk. They have just experienced a life-and-death battle and obtained a large amount of resources. It is a good time for development.

The construction of the Gray Tower has been put on the agenda.
