Chapter 238 Discovery
A small-scale coup was accompanied by fierce fighting, from the restaurant to the shooting range, from the living area to the armed area, and finally ended in victory.A certain battle priest was brutally beaten by a group of people, during which dozens of people participated in the killing. Even ordinary people who were not familiar with him secretly kicked him a few times to show their support for the coup participants.

A certain Lin Jing, who did not want to be named, who was watching the whole process and always pulling the female swordsman who wanted to break up the fight, said, "Well, the fight was very lively, everyone was very happy, and the stress accumulated for the whole day was relieved. I hope that every day in the future Organize several more similar activities, and the more intense the better. Anyway, the more exciting the fight will be, the happier the spectators will be.

"Damn it, wasn't it just a little joke? You guys are too cruel, especially you, damn Dak, did you take the opportunity to ogle Sasa? No, this is not the point. , did you secretly use Dou Qi twice, it hurts me to death." Rubbing his sore waist, Xiuer followed a group of noisy guys back to the entertainment room, complaining all the way without stopping, "Also You deer, don’t think I didn’t see it. You were happily pulling Sasa to prevent her from coming to save me. It’s better to be my Sasa. Know how to do it for me... Stop, stop, Sasa, don’t knock, it’s already swollen. , Ouch.”

The tragic sacrifice brought a joyful atmosphere. As for the food ingredients... although moss is not in the diet of normal people, this is a different world, so just think that the moss from another world is more delicious.

"Is it really moss?" When no one was paying attention, Moria secretly leaned into Xiure's ear and asked with a half-smile, "I have never heard that things like moss can grow in large quantities. If moss is used as the raw material, most of the soldiers in the fortress will starve to death."

"Ha, who knows?" Xiuer smiled mysteriously and shrugged noncommittally, "After all, I can't understand the complicated language of another world, hehehehe."

That's right, what the raw materials are doesn't seem to be that important. Some things are too clear, but it is a burden, so let it remain a mystery forever.However, the winged man's eyes seemed a bit sinister as he looked over. Could he be planning some bad idea?Xiuer became more and more nervous as he watched. He quickly covered his money bag and took a few steps back, avoiding Yuri's sight. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in the living area, Shuer arranged a task for all ordinary people, and everyone except eight high-level mercenaries had to do it.Everyone went to the shooting range in batches to practice shooting local weapons, at least to learn how to change bullets and shoot correctly.

No one has any objection to this. Everyone understands that this is to give them more self-protection ability in this dangerous world. It is definitely not possible to just rely on the warriors. Sometimes the warriors have too much time to take care of themselves. It would be safer to have the ability to fight on your own.

Therefore, Xiure specially asked Wei to send two mechanical puppets to teach everyone how to use firearms. This kind of thing does not require dialogue, and it will become clear after a few demonstrations.The emotions of the workers and scholars were very high. After all, it was not common to have the opportunity to fight against the enemy like a warrior without physical fitness. Everyone felt that it was particularly fresh. Even the two were treated with advanced local treatment technology. , the seriously injured who could barely stand were all involved.

Especially Mia's assistant, the old mage named Fusen. After being scolded by Mia, he had been looking depressed, as if he had been wronged. But now that he saw something new, he immediately returned to his old ways and almost took action immediately. The firearms inside were dismantled into parts.As for the others, several people were screamed and screamed by stray bullets fired by their companions. Forget it, the ammunition here is all training ammunition anyway. It is not a metal slug, but a hard glue-like substance that is not very lethal. Let’s just let Let them remember the lesson with their bodies.

Xiure and the other eight did not join in the fun. The attack power of combatants was much stronger than firearms, especially high-level combatants. It was a complete waste to let them use firearms, so no one went to the shooting range. Instead of joining in the fun, they tacitly returned to the deserted restaurant and gathered in a corner. It was time to share some news that was not suitable for ordinary people to know.

"Yuli, I see you have been playing with those two machines today. Is there anything wrong with them?" Seeing that everyone had returned to seriousness, Shuer nodded and was the first to speak.

"Eh? You can actually play with the machine? The taste is so unique."

"Moria..." It seems that not everyone is in the state yet, at least a certain forest elf... well, maybe this is a sign that he has entered the state.

"It's so exciting, they're so awesome." Wingman Yuri waved his white fists excitedly, and the feathers on his wings almost exploded, "I saw a lot of interesting things."

"You... forget it." Thinking that Yiren was no more reassuring than Lin Jing, Xiuer simply gave up the reminder and just said, "Just don't forget your job."

"Don't worry, don't forget. I have always paid attention to the safety of the fortress, especially in the air. If the air force really appears, I will find it immediately."

"Okay, let's talk about business." Shuer signaled to Militty, "Mia and Dak have gained a lot today. I should leave all the corpses to you. You are an expert in life science. How about it?" , I see you have been very preoccupied all night, have you discovered anything new about bugs?"

"Well, I found a lot of problems." Militty did look worried and sighed softly, "These bugs are very different from the creatures we know. I hope you can be mentally prepared. Don’t be too surprised and don’t panic.”

Flustered?Would a high-level mercenary who has experienced hundreds of battles be panicked by something like this?The mercenaries looked at each other, wondering why the Necromancer was so serious, but in order to show respect for her, everyone nodded and did not question it.

Except Moria. "Let me tell you first. I also found some weird problems on the fungi brought back by Mia and the others. I think it has something to do with Militi's discovery." Moria said first, "What I said It's relatively small, and it should help everyone understand what Miredi discovered, yo, at least I think so."

Meridi had no dissatisfaction and nodded naturally. Then Soul made a gesture of invitation to Moria.

"I have looked at the creeps I brought back and tried to communicate with them using my racial talent. The final result is that they are not plants at all."

Um?Creeps are not plants?It clearly has a lichen-like appearance, and if you look closely, it has a mycelium structure, but it's not a plant?Could it still be an animal?Everyone was a little confused for a while.

"They do have a certain plant nature, but they are not plants in the pure sense. It should be said that they are...half plant and half animal. I don't know how to explain it. Well, just think of it as a part of a certain organism that extends to the outside world. It’s physiological structure, but it’s very plant-like.”

"I understand, it is actually similar to the shell of a turtle. It looks like a mineral, but it is actually part of an animal." Shuer understood Moria's thoughts and said thoughtfully, "In other words, we dig This thing that came back is actually the body of some kind of insect. Since it's not a plant, can you analyze it?"

"It is indeed not a plant, and I don't know what kind of organism it is, but the characteristics of the plant are very strong, and I can still barely analyze it." Moria explained, "First of all, the source of the nutrients is unknown, but they can be like real fungi. It grows like that and can provide energy to the eater like a real plant. According to my estimation, it should be the food source of some herbivorous bugs in the insect group. It can even be assumed to be the food source of most bugs. It is the food chain. the lowest level.”

"Well, that's understandable. You continue."

"The second discovery, the reason is unknown, but it has extremely strong energy conductivity, and it is two-way conductivity. If explained in detail, it can not only absorb energy from the outside and transfer it to the organism itself, but it can also radiate outward from the organism. Energy. For plants, this is a very rare phenomenon. As for whether it is common for living organisms, it depends on Militi’s judgment.”

"Is there anything else?" Xiure listened very seriously, "Looking at your expression, there should be more important points."

"Yes, the third discovery is that it can secrete a kind of liquid. Do you remember the slippery feeling when we step on it? It is caused by secretions. The liquid seems to have no effect except lubrication, but that's because They only work on certain objects, oh, inanimate life forms."

"Inanimate life form?" Shuer was stunned and looked at the others. No one seemed to react, "What is that?"

"It's just a corpse." Miridi frowned and explained, "Puppets and elemental creatures are not counted. They are the corpses of normal living creatures."

"Well, the liquid has no effect on living creatures, but once the body dies, the liquid will corrode the body like digesting food, converting it into energy for the carpet to absorb. The conversion efficiency and absorption efficiency are astonishingly high, even more than 90.00%. And it corrodes The speed is extremely fast. It is estimated that a complete human corpse will only take 10 minutes, even the bones will not be left. If the corpse is separated into pieces, the speed will be even faster, 5 minutes? 3 minutes? This aspect cannot be determined yet."

"Hiss, no wonder those bugs tore all the corpses into small pieces." Shuer said with a sigh, "I thought they did it to kill the enemy completely, but now it seems that it is to make the creep faster. absorb."

"Now everything makes sense." Moria's discovery made everyone confused, but Militty seemed to have figured out some problem, "It's really an interesting system, it's just for A race that exists for survival and expansion, however, there will always be some energy consumption. If there is no battle, what will be used to replenish it?"

"What are you talking about?" Shuer asked.

"We are talking about bugs." Meridi said in a deep voice, "What we are facing is indeed a group of bugs, but we can also treat them as bugs."
