Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 89 Map
As we all know, the most important point in the formation conditions of karst caves is that the area must have abundant groundwater resources, but this Gobi Desert is completely barren, without even a little vegetation, how could there be too many What about groundwater enough to form karst landforms?
This stalagmite... shouldn't it be something from this desert island at all?

Ke Lan held the stalagmite in a sword-like posture and confronted the Seed of Erosion more than ten steps away. Judging from the monster's fear of stalagmites, this thing could indeed be regarded as its nemesis.

Although Ke Lan has absolutely no idea what the principle is, at least it is useful, which is enough.

But just one stalagmite is still too few. If the tentacles of the Seed of Erosion attack from multiple angles, it is impossible for Ke Lan to parry them all. If Akano Asano is here, with this stalagmite, Maybe they can fight back and forth with the Seed of Erosion.

As for taking the initiative to attack, Ke Lan has no such idea.If you want to kill with stalagmites... or "seal" the eroded seeds, you must come into contact with the "nucleus" that is protected by the tentacles, but these tentacles can't even penetrate the blasting bombs, and the gunpowder explodes Compared with the kinetic energy generated from time to time, there is still a big gap in the power that Ke Lan's wrist and arm can burst out. Even if this stalagmite is replaced by a real sword, he will not be able to stab the sword into the "nucleus". the location.

The situation just froze...

Ke Lan noticed that after the stalagmite was taken out, the Seed of Erosion never launched an attack, and it even gave up the temptation - just like Ke Lan did not dare to let the Seed of Erosion touch him, the Seed of Erosion didn't seem to be able to. Dare to let this stalagmite touch me.

"The cells of the flesh-eating worm are highly toxic to the Seed of Erosion... Will this stalagmite have a similar effect?"

Ke Lan thought so, and bravely took a step closer to the Seed of Erosion.

His current posture is very similar to that of a fencer, with his legs apart and his horse striding steadily, his upper body leaning forward as much as possible, while holding the end of the stalagmite with his right hand, he stabbed the stalagmite toward one of the tentacles of the Erosive Seed— —

"babble--!!"

The moment the stalagmite came into contact with the tentacles, the Seed of Corrosion let out a piercing scream like a baby crying, and then, with the help of the tentacles, it quickly bounced back, and Ke Lan The distance between them suddenly increased to more than 30 meters.

The tentacle touched by the stalagmite was charred black, the surrounding tissue was severely necrotic, and even a wisp of blue smoke rose.

Ke Lan looked at the stalagmite in his hand with inconceivable eyes. It was obviously just ordinary limestone, but after encountering the seed of erosion, it produced an effect similar to that of strong acid burning...

Even the tissue cells of the flesh-eating worms, which are highly toxic to the Seed of Erosion, are not so immediate!

No wonder this monster is so afraid of this stalagmite, but what makes Ke Lan a little puzzled is... Since this stalagmite has such a significant lethality to the eroding species, why has its "core" been nailed to the ground for decades , can't completely kill this erosive seed?
Shouldn't this thing be classified as a "non-lethal weapon"?

Before Ke Lan came back to his senses, the Seed of Corrosion suddenly turned into a ball and fled. The speed of this rolling movement was astonishing. In less than 1 minute, the Seed of Corrosion disappeared completely. In Ke Lan's field of vision.

"This thing is too cowardly..." Ke Lan looked at the direction in which the Seed of Erosion was escaping speechlessly, "It's even less courageous than an old dog."

Ke Lan let out a long breath, no matter what, at least the threat to life was temporarily relieved.

"Huh? Is this... that soldier's relic?"

Ke Lan saw a palm-sized bag lying on the ground. This bag was made of nylon fiber and had a riveted button embedded in the lid of the bag, which was one of the standard equipment in the army. Generally used to store some small sundries and personal items for soldiers.

Although the Seed of Erosion ate the remains, the small bag was left behind and scattered on the ground along with the tattered clothes.

Ke Lan used a stalagmite to pick up the small bag. After confirming that there was no tissue contaminated with the Seed of Erosion, he lifted the lid of the bag and poured out all the contents.

There are not many things in the bag, basically some small objects:

A bronze, rusted "Ark Contributor" medal - the gold content of this thing is not high, almost the same as the third-class meritorious service in the Chinese army in the old era, as long as it has successfully performed more than three field missions. can be obtained.On the ark, as long as the veterans have served for more than five years, there is basically one.

But this thing at least proves that the members of the exploration team that strayed to the desert island are all experienced veterans, not the kind of rookies who don't understand anything.

The second thing is six unique rivets, which are so special that Ke Lan recognized them at a glance - this is a kind of heavy armor called "Fearless Warrior" used by the early field troops of the Ark accessories, but after the development of tactical exoskeletons and power armor, this thing was gradually eliminated.

It seems that this team is equipped with at least one dreadnought... This makes Ke Lan rather strange. If it is a routine exploration mission, it must pursue high mobility. Like the dreadnought, it is only suitable for positional warfare and The heavy armored units that destroy the war should not be equipped in an exploration team.

Isn't this an exploration team?
The third thing is a piece of chemical fiber fabric that has been crumpled into a ball. It seems to have been cut from the inner lining of a piece of clothing. attracted.

"This line... this is the coastline of this island! My current position..." He raised his head and compared the pattern on the fabric with the coastline not far away, "This is where I am now! This is a map A map of this deserted island!"

It just made him feel a little pity that this map was not drawn completely. Except for the part of the coastline, most of the areas were blank.

Many of these empty spaces are marked "Danger": Danger in bold and black font.

And the "safe area" surrounded by these "dangerous areas" is only the coastal area where Ke Lan is located.

"Fortunately... I didn't venture into it..." Ke Lan was a little fortunate in his heart. Even fearless warriors would find it dangerous to break into a place where the survival rate was high, one can imagine.

In addition to these dangerous marks, there is another place where a five-pointed star is drawn... However, this place marked with a five-pointed star is not on this deserted island, but is about a distance from the coast. About 50 meters of nautical miles...
