As for why not just block the small iron pot...
It was her own selfish desire. She wanted to see the Hunter's unbearable expression, to prove that she was not inferior to him in this aspect.
I thought the "witch" was about to take out some strange ingredients and start refining, but unexpectedly, the "hunter" put the pot on the ground, turned around and walked towards the ruins not far away.
There were many small flowers blooming there, and when she approached, they all "puffed" and spit out bubbles.
The gelatinous layer expanded rapidly, and one after another the tumorous monsters broke free from their shackles and rushed towards the only living creature nearby.
The [Hunter] was not in a hurry. He held the scissors in one hand and cut off the head of the one closest to him. He then sprinkled lamp oil on the other monsters, lit them on fire, and picked up the pieces of meat and walked back.
The orange-red flames quickly engulfed all enemies, and amid a series of liquid evaporation sounds, the swollen tumors burned to ashes.
"What are you doing with that?" Helena, who was watching from a distance, asked curiously.
[Hunter] took out a whole bundle of thin chains and wrapped them around a basketball-sized piece of meat. "It's bait."
After saying that, she poured the little remaining lamp oil into the iron pot, then took off the pointed hat and put it away, raised her head to judge the distance, and finally threw the piece of meat straight into the sky.
As the piece of meat continued to climb higher, the gray-black "cloud" began to become slightly agitated, and climbed up the moment it touched the piece of meat.
The [Hunter] took the opportunity to pull hard, bringing back the piece of meat covered in black, and threw it into the pot neatly and accurately, while lighting the lamp oil, causing the fire to surge.
In addition to the "crunching" sound produced by the evaporation of the liquid, this time there was also a muffled sound similar to popcorn popping, which was dense and lively.
[Helena] didn't bother to dodge, and used the isolated space to move forward, wanting to see what was in the sky. Unfortunately, the orange-red flames covered everything.
"What's inside?" She couldn't find the answer, so she asked
The Hunter thought for a moment, reached into the pot, picked up a black object the size of a sesame seed from the flames, and turned to hand it to Helena.
“It’s a kind of insect.”
"...Can I have it?"
"Well, it's burned, just don't crush it."
[Helena] nodded, took it, and looked at it carefully.
The bugs are very small, black in color, with a shell and a bumpy and uneven surface, but they are more shiny than expected. It is possible that the faint light observed before was reflected from them.
Unlike the disc-shaped mouthparts of lampreys, their teeth are more like layers of crisscrossed spines, making it completely incomprehensible how they can perform the "biting" action.
The fact that it can fly in the sky proves that it should have wings on its back, but Helena didn't find any, so they were probably burned by fire.
There was nothing special about the other aspects, so she decided not to figure it out herself and threw the bug back into the pot.
"Oh yeah, you said not to crush it? What would have happened if I had just crushed it?"
The Hunter paused, then turned and looked at him seriously, "...it would waste their body fluids and reduce the output of lamp oil."
"I didn't expect you to be so humorous... Wait, body fluids? So what you smeared on me before was actually these...?!"
"Ah."
"...yue"
Chapter 945: Fear comes from insufficient firepower (supplement)
After disappearing for a few chapters, the cute and charming Purifier, who is probably a villain, finally remembered his login password.
You know, it is very difficult to capture the position coordinates of the edge of [spatial disturbance]
If she wasn't talented enough, it would be impossible for her to successfully reach the destination with only 114 jumps. If it were someone else, they might even have to add a zero at the end.
The Purifier was quite satisfied and drilled out of the passage with a "grunt". However, the opening direction was not right and she slapped her hand into the sticky gelatinous substance on the ground.
“Pah!”
"Uh, what is that... glue? So gross..."
The Purifier muttered in dissatisfaction, then climbed out of the passage again, and stepped his two feet into the rubber layer. His posture was quite similar to the "arch bridge" in martial arts.
It means turning over with the belly button facing down.
I used a little effort to pull my hands free, and thick gum dripped from between my fingers and spread all over the floor. I couldn't rub it off, and I felt as annoyed as if there was chewing gum stuck in my hair.
"Wow... this is it? I've never heard of swimming in glue hell."
The Purifier tried to brush off a status, and succeeded, but as long as she was still standing on the glue layer, she would inevitably get her boots dirty.
Fortunately, the combat uniform is equipped with smooth metal outer armor-style foot gear. If I had brought the mesh sneakers I usually wear, it would definitely be a disaster.
But since it has happened, we might as well make the best of it. Although the Purifier only roughly understood this sentence, it did not prevent her from adjusting her mindset and facing it positively.
After all, a certain not-so-active guy is waiting for her to rescue him.
The Purifier groaned, pulled out a small communication device from his pocket, flicked the switch, and the projected light curtain moved non-stop like a snow screen.
"Uh... come on, wasn't it working before? Why is it broken all of a sudden?"
As she spoke, she moved her feet deliberately and moved closer to the unstable passage, hoping for a special signal that might pass by by chance.
Unfortunately, the call still doesn’t go through.
The Purifier had no choice but to put away the communication device, looked around at the dilapidated and strange environment, and closed the passage that could not hold up.
The smell in the air was really unpleasant, so she took out an exaggerated gas mask from her pocket, which she had found in the base warehouse before coming here.
After putting it on, I look like an alien with double the eyes, and my field of vision is not that wide, but my nose is indeed much more comfortable.
Since this trip is mainly to find someone, not only do we have to find Helena who might have a problem with her brain, but we also have to meet up with Su Xin whose birthplace is unknown.
Therefore, the purifier specially prepared a high-power loudspeaker and, of course, very effective earplugs.
She hated the feeling of stepping on the glue layer, so she simply summoned her hammerhead shark-style main ship suit and rode on it, with the muzzle facing downward, changing the mode to pure energy transmission.
The mechanical shark carrying the super big-eyed cute creature floated steadily in the air relying on the reverse thrust of energy.
The Purifier summoned two more floating turrets, hung the prepared loudspeakers on them, and then directed them to spread out to the left and right. After a certain distance, she began recording again.
"Ahem... Dear Susu~ The blue-haired man with a problem in his brain! The Purifier is here to save you!!!"
After the recording was successful, she immediately took out her earplugs and put them on. She then found a pair of noise-cancelling earmuffs and covered them with them. Then she pressed the [Replay] button on the remote control in her hand.
[Dear Susu! The blue-haired man with a problem in his brain! The Purifier is here to save you! ! !]
[Dear Susu! The blue-haired man with a problem in his brain! The Purifier is here to save you! ! !]
[Dear Susu! The blue-haired man with a problem in his brain! The Purifier is here to save you! ! !]
The sound waves spread rapidly around with the two turrets as the center, and even bent the flesh flowers blooming everywhere on the rubber layer.
As if being stepped on hard by something, the spotted flowers began to spit out bubbles, but unfortunately, before the bubbles could grow bigger, they were burst by the sound waves.
When it burst, the splattered mucus tended to the other side of the target, and most of it stuck to the petals, looking dirty and ugly.
Then the "Daoyangyang" sleeping deep under the gelatin layer woke up angrily, and crawled out of the ground one after another with small flowers on their heads, showing off the plump and juicy pustules on their bodies.
Unfortunately, before the display lasted long, these thin-skinned flesh bubbles filled with body fluids burst one after another, like water-filled balloons that were popped by a needle.
The Purifier on the other side couldn't hear any sound and had a narrow field of vision, so he couldn't see the cannon fodder characters on both sides that exploded as soon as they appeared.
There are some in the direction of travel, but the huge caliber of Truth does not give them the opportunity to pollute the environment.
Compared to Helena, who doesn't rely much on ship equipment, the Purifier is a real equipment guy, with a full set of nitrogen gold items that can't be used up.
Blocking the road? Just adjust the main gun dispersion and use the energy to directly evaporate all enemies in the fan-shaped area. It is easy and convenient, and will not produce smoke and dust. It is simply a must-have for killing and robbing.
As for energy reserves? Hey, as long as she has fat water and potato chips, she can fry fish all afternoon without stopping.
You mean oil? When that stuff runs out, just ask Su Xin for more. Anyway, the other party has a rich family background, so it won’t have any impact if she spends it casually in the early stage. All she needs to do is find the person.
If you can't find it? Be positive! Be optimistic! Do you know what it means to maintain a good attitude?
So the Purifier rode on the giant shark that could shoot lasers, swinging his legs in boredom, counting how many unlucky creatures died under his "Lord Purifier Ray".
This noise bombardment and energy tilt lasted for more than half an hour, and the area it passed through looked like it had been plowed by a bull that drank Red Bull.
It was not until she saw a woman in a casual coat standing on the ruins in the distance that she reluctantly paused the loudspeaker.
"Not so fast..." The Purifier muttered as he stepped forward, obviously not satisfied, "Hey, are you human?"
"Woooooooo..."
"Ah? What did you say? Speak louder, I can't hear you!"
"Woooooooooooo..."
"Wait? Speak up, wait, am I...deaf?!"
After the Purifier finished speaking, he quickly raised his hand and touched his ears, only to find that he had forgotten to take off the soundproofing.
The monster, who had tricked Helena and got a coat, saw that the other party was not coming, so he had to attack in advance. After his head cracked, when he was about to spray out the parasitic mucus, he was blown into pieces by the attacking energy bomb.
The Purifier stuck out a cannon from his cherry-like mouth and fired a round at the opponent, puffing out his chest proudly, "Hehe... I'm an expert in 'how to add more weapons to the [Carrier]'~"
Seeing the minced meat squirming and trying to drill into the gelatinous layer, she turned the muzzle of the gun and fired the "Lord Purifier Ray" again, wiping out the little leader who was almost about to be resurrected.
"La la la ~ Keep going, when we find Su Su, let her have some sex too? She'll definitely like it!"
[Dear Susu! The blue-haired man with a problem in his brain! The Purifier is here to save you! ! !]
[Dear Susu! The blue-haired man with a problem in his brain! The Purifier is here to save you! ! !]
[Dear Susu! The blue-haired man has a problem with his brain! The Purifier is here to save you!!!]
PS: Thank you for your concern. The fever period is almost over. But it may be that I took ibuprofen and caused gastroenteritis. It's a minor problem. I'm recovering after taking medicine. I still owe one chapter and I'll make it up tomorrow.
Chapter 946 There's something wrong with your brain!
"How did you metamorphose?"
"[META-ization]? Do you mean... becoming like this?"
"Yes, there should be an opportunity, such as a major turning point in life, or an awakening of some idea." [Helena] asked casually while walking on the road.
The Hunter thought about it carefully and shook his head. "Nothing. It just changed suddenly at some point in time."
"Then did the lamp in your hand that uses insects as fuel also suddenly appear in front of you?"
"Yes, but I was already using this oil before that." The Hunter took out the bag and shook it. "It used to be stored here."
[Helena] frowned and waved her hands, "Okay, okay, don't take it out. If it spills, I'll have to suffer for a while."
[Hunter] took it back without any intention of teasing anyone, and only added the clichéd "Go back quickly".
Helena was repeatedly advised to leave, and when she asked for the reason, she received no clear answer. In addition, there had been no substantial progress for so long, so she felt really helpless.
She now knows that strange environments can affect one's mood, so she controls herself at all times to avoid unnecessary conflicts, but it will not be a good idea to continue like this.
[Ember] There are too many missions over there, requiring her to go out frequently. There is also a commander waiting for her to return home, so she can't waste time here.
But if she leaves now, it would be like giving up colleagues who can help her share the work in the future, and the mission will be declared a failure, and she will not be able to give an explanation to the [company].
Feeling anxious, Helena pulled her hair a little irritably, then stroked her forehead to calm herself down.
"Hiss... No, you should tell me everything that happened between you and the person you are looking for. Maybe there will be some clues."
This question has been asked many times in different ways. Before, [Hunter] always just mentioned it briefly and was not willing to explain it in detail.
But for some reason, this time she tilted her head and looked at [Helena] for a long while, and finally responded coldly, while walking slowly forward and telling a story casually.
Several years before the disaster occurred, the world had not changed much, and the Hunter was just an ordinary royal destroyer.
She was born in the sea, and with her self-taught fishing skills, she was able to spend the journey ashore, which should have been boring, in a more fulfilling way.
Later, between the two options of joining the government or being a freelancer, she chose the latter out of interest, which was to earn bounties by taking on commissions.
This is more in line with the lifestyle that hunters aspire to, and it is also a job that is freer, more challenging and fresher.
Her personality is pretty good, and the other ship girls are all kind. Although life was quite difficult at first, at least she was satisfied psychologically.
But gradually, she no longer found it novel and interesting to simply search for lost items or destroy lone enemy ships.
She tried many ways to arouse her enthusiasm for work, but those attempts were ultimately useless.
In desperation, she could only go back to the beginning, pinning her happiness on pure "hunting" and completely separating her hobbies from her work.
The work became more and more boring, and the feeling of going out to sea to hunt alone after work became more and more addictive, especially the moments of harvesting and releasing the fish, which brought her a huge sense of satisfaction.
Unfortunately, hunting is a hobby that takes a lot of time and has a relatively smaller audience than shopping, watching TV and drinking coffee.
Because she was rarely seen all day and didn't take the initiative to maintain friendships, her originally good interpersonal relationships gradually cooled down.
