Chapter 9 9. The Stone Monster

Backpack (7/10): String*2, Wood*14, Branches*13, Leaves*14, Stone Axe (1/100), Stone Knife (96/100), Broken Bark*44.

Su You looked at these things, and took a branch as a pen to write and draw on the ground.

The current time is about twelve noon... The reason why Su You can know such an accurate time is mainly because of two factors.

One is that the starting time of Sunset Continent is [-]:[-] in the morning, and the other is the countdown...whether it is the countdown of the halo or the countdown of the lord's token.

The halo, which originally counted down to 72 hours, now shows that there are only 68 hours left, which is enough to act as a temporary timer for three days... Of course, this is actually a countdown to death.

She must collect enough resources and find a suitable location before the countdown ends, and then create a territory, otherwise it will be over.

The materials that need to be collected have been mentioned before, 'wooden board*5, stone material*5, flame stone*1', in which the wooden board belongs to the third-level material, the first-level material is wood; the second-level material is wood blocks, which are synthesized from 3 wood materials ; The tertiary material wood plank is synthesized from 4 wood blocks.

In other words, 1 plank = 12 wood, 5 planks = 60 wood.

Secondly, 3 crushed stones = 1 stone, 5 stones = 15 crushed stones.

In addition, because chopping trees requires an ax, an ax can only collect about 20 wood, unless she only plans to synthesize wood by collecting branches, otherwise she needs about two axes, that is, two stones, which is equivalent to ten broken pieces stone.

In fact, in the final analysis, gravel is not enough.

But Su You already knew that this would be the case, so she had already thought about how to deal with the problem of insufficient gravel.

Although there are very few ore resources (including stones) in the forest, in order to balance the resources in the game, there is a creature called 'Stone Monster' in the forest - kill this creature, there is a small probability of dropping gravel, and there is a very small probability of directly Drops whole blocks of stone.

Su You didn't expect it to drop stones, as long as it could drop gravel in accordance with probability, she would be very happy.

The stone monster is characterized by extremely high defense. After all, it is a stone. Ordinary weapons can hardly cause damage, and its weakness is also obvious, that is, it moves slowly, and the judgment of killing is special...

The effort to think about these, whether it is the roasted berries in the campfire or the berry juice in the workbench, has been made.

Su You ate two servings of roasted berries, drank another cup of berry juice, and replenished her hunger bar to about [-]. She put the leaves in the backpack, the broken bark, a wooden cup after drinking the juice, and a little durable The ax is placed with the remaining leaves.

Then, she picked up the fiber scraps*3 and put them in her backpack.

In the following time, Su You didn't do anything else, she just quietly closed her eyes and rested her mind on the spot, let the time pass by, and opened her eyes when her physical strength immediately recovered to full capacity.

……

……

Not far from the depths of the forest, several creatures that were more than six feet tall, moved slowly due to their bulky bodies, and seemed to be made up of irregular stones leaned against the tree, not knowing whether they were in a daze. Still resting.

After observation, there are a total of six stone monsters here, three of which are surrounded together, and seem to be engaging in some strange interaction.

And the remaining three were also divided into two groups, one group had two, whispering, and the other group was a solitary stone monster.

But the stone monster obviously doesn't know what loneliness is, so even if it doesn't have any companions around it, it can still turn its back to everyone, lower its head and play with the leaves and soil on the ground, having a great time.

The lone stone monster seemed to be cleaning the ground. It carefully piled the leaves aside, exposing the soil below, but when it was about to clean up the leaves next to its other foot, it suddenly found The leaf that I had piled up before moved.

'Hiss! '

The stone monster stomped his feet in dissatisfaction, as if annoyed that the leaves he had piled up with great difficulty suddenly covered the ground that had been cleaned up with great difficulty.

The sound it made attracted the attention of the five stone monsters behind them, but when they looked over, they didn't find anything special nearby... and the sound stone monster was still playing with the leaves on the ground, so After watching for a while, they didn't pay attention here either.

But just as they turned their heads, the lonely stone monster finally cleaned up the leaves. Just as it was about to clap its hands in satisfaction, it saw a piece of gravel suddenly appearing on the ground.

A piece of rubble that is nearly identical to its body parts.

'Hiss! 'Seeing the gravel stone monster is like seeing a peerless treasure. It made a sound again, and this time the sound was louder than before.

Although the sound was louder this time than before, because of the previous experience, the five stone monsters behind were not attracted to it, and one of them seemed to dislike the noise of the stone monster, so It also deliberately moved in a direction farther away from it.

Because of the ignorance of his companions, the lone stone monster was successfully led away step by step by this piece of 'moving' gravel...

Su You, who was hiding behind the bushes, held the rope with gravel as "bait" with one hand, and controlled the lone stone monster to leave his companion step by step...

When the distance was far enough and the trap she designed was reached, Su You pulled another rope vigorously.

'Bang——' With a loud sound like a heavy object falling to the ground, the stone monster was restrained by several ropes.

Then, without waiting for it to struggle, the rope slid along the stone monster's limbs to the most vulnerable joints connected by stones... It pulled the rope hard again, and the stone monster bound by the rope seemed to feel something. Started to struggle.

This struggle almost staggered Su You who was controlling the ropes.

Fortunately, Su You had already made preparations - the places where these ropes were implicated were very thick trees.

No matter how strong the stone monster is, it is impossible for it to have the strength to uproot several thick trees at the same time.

So it was so exhausting, the struggle of the stone monster became smaller and smaller... until finally it turned into a white light and disappeared, leaving only the ground empty, as if it had been tied with some kind of rope, and some broken pieces. stone.

【Stone Monster】

Introduction: Defense MAX can hardly cause any physical damage. Due to its bulky body and slow movement, it can enhance its strength by absorbing stones and ores, so ores and stones are unparalleled to them.
