Wasteland: Hunting the wasteland with a max-level account

Chapter 45: Going deep into the first tree ③
  In the evening, the five members of the Hua family had a hearty meal.

Hua's mother's cooking was so good that Hua Xiaoqin missed tonight's meal very much in the following days.

After dinner, Hua Xiaoqin gave one portion of the supplement to her mother and brother, then packed up and went to rest.

……

The next day, Hua Xiaoqin took her motorcycle, crow and dog again and headed towards the banyan forest.

After passing the snake venom mass grave, Hua Xiaoqin stopped the car and added several locks, and then used some dead leaves and vines to cover up the motorcycle to prevent it from being bought for free.

From here on, the bike's launch speed isn't necessarily enough to combat the mutant beasts that might appear.

Deep exploration is only possible on foot.

Hua Xiaoqin was confident that she could protect the dog, but she couldn't escape with her motorcycle on her back, so she could only let her car suffer temporarily.

The map of the banyan forest has changed again.

Within the wild leopard's territory, the location and number of animals increased. But for the time being, they are all harmless prey.

What Hua Xiaoqin wants to explore is a wider area than the wild leopard's territory and the first banyan tree.

If she remembered correctly, when she came to explore the factory from the 61st Institute, she took the south road.

It is now the southernmost location of the banyan forest.

The difference is that in winter, all the plants here freeze to death, and the ground is covered with ice and snow. Now, if we walk again, we can't find any traces or landmarks of that day.

She took the dog and the crow with her and could only go west along the south side of the forest as much as possible.

Feeling that she was walking too slowly and that many ferocious beasts might appear on the ground, Hua Xiaoqin tied the dog to her back and took out a specially made climbing hook.

There are force-bearing claws at both ends of the hook rope. A person can swing from one end of the tree to the other end by grabbing the hook rope.

To put it simply, like a Tarzan ape, Hua Xiaoqin floats forward in mid-air.

The traveling speed has increased three times, and it takes less effort than before.

When the crow saw this, it quacked with joy and flew faster.

Most of the wild leopard's territories are in the north. Hua Xiaoqin and the three of them quickly left the wild leopard's territory. From this moment on, they truly began to independently explore the wild.

The banyan forest embraces all things. In addition to its own species, there are also many vines and exotic plants growing there.

Many species have offensive instincts, but Hua Xiaoqin flew by, and ordinary plants couldn't keep up with the speed at all. All the attacks launched fell behind Hua Xiaoqin, without hurting her at all.

But without exception, these plants were all scanned by Hua Xiaoqin using identification skills, and all were registered in the database of full-level mobile game accounts.

After wandering for about an hour, Hua Xiaoqin finally found the freshwater resource in the banyan forest - an unexpected wellhead.

The wellhead is very large. Different from ordinary village wells, this wellhead is more than ten or twenty meters in diameter and has a depression of nearly ten meters. It looks like a giant bucket. There is a staircase made of large bluestone slabs beside the well, making it easier for people to get water up and down.

I don’t know what kind of place would dig such a giant well.

Hua Xiaoqin is curious, but will not seek death casually.

The map shows that there is a big bright spot in this well, and it is also a big red bright spot - if ordinary travelers passing by, they are afraid that they will be thirsty by this time and go down to the well to deliver express delivery.

But since it passed by, she had to find a way to get rid of this dangerous animal.

So as not to leave hidden dangers to other team members coming out of the ship.

A gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall, so Hua Xiaoqin could only lure the mutant out of the well.

She picked some vines and tied a baby bird that she had just dug out of the tree in the middle. Then she pulled the vines through the trees on both sides of the well mouth, just enough for the tied baby bird to hang above the well mouth.

The sounds of struggling animals and childish chirps really work.

There was an uproar from the water in the well.

Hua Xiaoqin was hiding in a tree nearby, the bow and arrow in her hand already aimed at the mouth of the well.

Three arrows were set up, two were dull, and one shone with a faint green.

Soon, the baby bird had drooped down to less than three meters from the well mouth.

"Quack!"

A slender red tongue suddenly poked out of the well, wrapped it up in the young bird, and dragged the vines tied to the tree down into the well like it was withered.

Don't miss this opportunity! Whoosh!
  Whoosh!
  Whoosh!
  Three arrows came quickly and nailed the red tongue to the edge of the well.

Dark red blood splashes!
  The mutant in the well felt pain instantly and let out a harsh cry!
  The entire wellhead was kicked loose by it, causing smoke and dust to billow.

Hua Xiaoqin swayed on the tree, cursing herself for letting down her guard.

It’s not like she has never seen this kind of sonic attack before!

Why did you forget to take precautions today?

But now it's too late...

She could only endure the headache and use her poison doctor skills.

【Your "Poisonous Fang" hits the target! The target's poison resistance is immune to 50% damage! 】

[Target health dropped to 95%! 】

Unexpectedly, the mutated frogs in the barren mountains have such high poison resistance and long health bars.

When the poisonous fangs hit the falcon, the CD can be refreshed immediately.

The mutant frog only lost 5% of its health when hit.

How long will this take?
  Depending on the strength of the frog's struggle, he might be able to pull out his tongue and escape at some point.

The same temptation may not work...

It seems that poisoning is not a panacea. If you have the chance, you still need to find thermal weapons.

Hua Xiaoqin had no choice but to use this method to deal with the monster in the well.

She took out all the non-poisonous arrows, ten at a time, and shot them in succession——

The arrow seemed to have eyes, jumped out from the bowstring, flew horizontally for a certain distance, and then lost its horizontal speed, and the arrow fell down with vertical speed.

Dozens of arrows slanted down toward the wellhead along the exact same path.

I saw a fountain of blood continuously erupting from the wellhead, and the scarlet liquid rushed up high, dyeing the entire wellhead red...

It wasn't until the nailed tongue stopped struggling that Hua Xiaoqin stopped holding the bow and arrow in her hand.

There was silence down the well.

Hua Xiaoqin didn't dare to risk the crow, so she just used the identification technique again to scan and refresh the map of the first banyan tree.

Sure enough, the big red bright spot in the well had disappeared.

There are no other life dots below the well shown on the map.

The alarm was finally lifted and we could continue heading west.

Hua Xiaoqin had no interest in the mutated frog in the salvage well, nor did she feel sorry for the arrows that shot at it.

Consumables like arrows can be made in minutes as long as the raw materials are available.

It won't take more than five minutes to make the same number of arrows.

She beckoned the crow to continue heading west...

……

After leaving the big well, the range of the first banyan tree is over halfway.

However, before noon, Hua Xiaoqin stopped her journey in the air again.

Because this time, she discovered the second human building deep in the banyan forest - a human ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is very dilapidated, but identification techniques show that it is very safe inside. So Hua Xiaoqin took the courage to explore inside.

I don’t know which good family built such an ancestral hall deep in the woods. Anyway, she couldn’t even recognize the surname of the owner of the ancestral hall. All the plaques fell off, the tablets were rotten, and the altar statues and other things inside had been destroyed long ago.

There were only some fresh paw prints identified as belonging to forest apes.

That's right, this ancestral hall is made of solid materials, and even the mutated banyan forest and earthquakes cannot completely destroy it. It can still shelter the apes from wind and rain. It is indeed a good place for habitat.

If a good person knew that his ancestral place was occupied by apes, he might be angry...

　My daughter is about to go deep into the banyan forest and explore the road to No. 61~
