Chapter 8: Doubts (1)

He is not a fake polite.Gerard Chevalier and the four subordinates, just because of Suo Zhongwu's order, were busy outside the wall for two hours.Nearly fifty dead monsters were carried by their hands to the parking area outside the trenches; new blood with shields, hidden cnidarians, rogues, battle line pickers (all named by Francine), the four major groups of monsters have everything. He was lying neatly on the ground at the moment, with a hideous face illuminated by the lights.

For Suo Zhongwu, these corpses with teeth and claws were the biggest gain from this trip.He is different from Francine. He has no interest in medieval economy and culture. Looking for local villagers to do research and other things is even bigger.He just wanted to figure out the true face of the monster and the relationship between this group of guys and "Zero-face Shinobi", and the sooner the better.[Catch the AI ​​traitor early and leave this ghost place early.A glass of ale alone can't keep me.

After exchanging greetings with Gerrard and others, Suo Zhongwu immediately walked into the parking area surrounded by the lime circle and couldn't wait to start work.Since he didn't have professional tools, let alone a biology major, he could only take pictures of the corpse and check his weapons and equipment by the way.For tall work such as anatomy, don't even think about it at this stage. If it weren't for the few corpses, he wouldn't even have the opportunity to examine the internal organs, let alone the complicated bone structure.

Four hours ago, Suo Zhongwu used a thermal imaging camera to see the looks of these monsters for the first time.Although it was the first time to deal with, but he was full of disgust with this creature, and there was no pressure when shooting.Now that he had personally touched the cold corpse, this disgust immediately rose to physical discomfort, causing him to get goose bumps.

Judging from the extremely pale complexion, the climbing claws, and the almost no eyes, this race clearly came from the underground.The "individual rations" they carry with them, such as dry animal meat, pungent "sauce" made from the fermentation of mushrooms, and some kind of thin and long blind-eyed dried fish are further evidence. This inference.

Both dried meat and fish are salted.The mushroom sauce has not been cooked at a high temperature, otherwise it will not smell so pure.From this point of view, monsters should rarely deal with open flames, but they also have extremely sophisticated armor weapons. Compared with the kappa who eats blood and eats raw fish, they have eight streets stronger.

The mortals in this world are roughly at the level of the Middle Ages, with tools and weapons almost made of iron, and their daily lives are closely related to the blacksmith's furnace.However, the science and technology tree that monsters climb is different from their roots, and the unique craftsmanship derived from it really opened up Suo Zhongwu's vision.

No matter which species of monsters, they all have perfect individual equipment.In addition to the rations wrapped in lichen flakes, they also have climbing hooks (claw hooks are made of bone), zipped leather bags for arrows and sundries, and flint tools to maintain armor and weapons.These objects have a common feature, that is, they have nothing to do with metal. The iron arrowheads that occasionally appear are also seized (or stolen) mortal products.

The armor blades used by monsters are very peculiar biological products that cannot be found in mortal artifacts.The parts of the gleaming fluorescent war bow were taken from at least three domesticated livestock (or wild prey), and they were all strange creatures that Suo Zhongwu had never heard of or seen.

For these extremely characteristic equipment, Suo Zhongwu does not hesitate to store space, taking countless photos and videos.In addition, he also freed his auxiliary hands many times, using only a layer of flame-retardant gloves to try these novelties one by one.No way, who made him a man who has been in the army for many years, and he is naturally curious about armor blades?

Among all the equipment, the one that attracted Suo Zhongwu the most was the armor.According to his observations, the new blood shields and the secret cnidarians (ie archers in the infantry column) rarely wear real armor.These two types of groups are generally small, and their status in the clan should not be very high. Only a few dim nails will be hung on key parts such as the heart and the back of the head, and the area is not very large.

They have many bone plates on their faces, and their protection is not bad.However, the soft and scaly body must not be exposed directly.In order to enhance protection, these two species secrete a very viscous sweat that can quickly solidify, and then use this disgusting tool to stick dirt, mud, and sand on the surface of the skin to form a large dark hard crust.

Gerrard tried this kind of hard-shell protection with his sword and a hand.According to his test results, the mud shell of new blood on the shield and the hidden cnidarian can withstand at least one slash with a sword, roughly equivalent to the level of flax-filled soft armor.But these shells also bring a refreshing fragrance, which can be heard from a long distance, and the wanderers (ie sharpshooters) who often lurch in the dark must not copy them intact.

Compared with the hidden cnidaria, the number of sharpshooters is quite rare, and there are subtle differences in their physiological structures.The most distinctive of them is the tail. The wanderer's tail is extraordinarily long and slender, with a dark crystal embedded at the end, which makes it feel like a sneaky third eye.

Judging from the performance in actual combat, the position of marksman among the four major groups is obviously extraordinary, and the weapons and equipment are therefore more sophisticated.Suo Zhongwu has done statistics. Every wanderer has a real shining bow. The craftsmanship and pulling force are much stronger than those of general products; their armor also has a larger protective area, usually covering the chest and back. Sometimes it also comes with armor skirts, shoulder pads, and shin guards, which is the same as that of mortal elite.

Suo Zhongwu checked 20 pieces of armor back and forth, and also borrowed the short spears of the militiamen, poking and poking enthusiastically.He found that this strange material was not only tough and smooth, but also had a pungent chitin smell when burned.But the density of the nails is greater than it looks, roughly between the wood and the bricks.

In World 19, that is, the bloody battlefield where Suo Kui dragged him away, Suo Zhongwu had seen similar things long ago, and they were piled up in front of them.The carapace of a giant arthropod, this is the true face of those bleak materials; he fought hundreds of battles with these monsters, and his psychological shadow has appeared because of this. As long as he sees similar objects, his heart is like an ant crawling over. itch.

But uncomfortable is uncomfortable, and the observation has to be continued.Especially when the sample is so distinctive and has repeatedly ignited curiosity.Next, Suo Zhongwu asked the civilian soldiers to borrow a mace, an iron crossbow and even a matchlock, and repeatedly attacked the rogue armor; after he broke six pieces of armor, he was not satisfied with it, so he simply took The golden soldier's cloth faceplate was borrowed, and a control group test was conducted with the same weapon.
