Chapter 9 is a bit evil
The effect of [I Have Few Companions] is immediate. The simple and crude four-dimensional attributes are greatly improved, which brings a feeling of satisfaction like upgrading on the spot.
Ma Lu now threw a punch casually, feeling as powerful as an amateur boxer.
And this blessing is also very suitable for the current two-person team mode. Even if Pochi joins the team, each person can get 40% of all attribute enhancements.
As for one person enjoying 50% of the full bonus, Ma Lu has never considered it at all.
Although there are often one-pass genres in meat pigeon games that abandon teammates, the reality is undoubtedly much more complicated.
Ma Lu has no experience in surviving in the wild, does not have the necessary equipment and vehicles, and knows nothing about the habits and weaknesses of prey.
Even if you rely on the newly opened function No. 29 to pile up attributes, it is still difficult to complete the hunt.
This is why he was looking to form a team from the beginning.
What's more, both Boqi's previous introduction to the hunting group and the two options of choosing one of three have already made it clear enough - hunting is a team effort.
Motorcycles travel through the endless desert.
The deathly silence and monotonous scenery around them are the same as five hours ago. The only difference is that there is only one sun left in the sky, which also makes the ubiquitous heat subside a little.
This time Boqi only rode for 40 minutes before gradually slowing down and began to observe his surroundings.
Theoretically, the further away from the giant screen, the greater the chance of encountering prey, especially those valuable and high-quality goods, but the same risk is also higher.
Considering that there are only two people in the hunting team this time, and Malu's strength is somewhat questionable, Boqi does not plan to go too far to be on the safe side.
Many people will subconsciously use the strength of combat as the criterion when judging hunters, but this is actually not accurate.
Because in addition to the final battle, the search for prey, tracking and trap placement are also skills that a hunter needs to master.
There are even hunters who specialize in a certain skill. Even if they are not good at fighting, they will become the target of competition among major hunting groups with their special telekinesis abilities.
Although Boqi could not reach that level, he had always worked very hard when he was in Hunter School. He was among the best in all subjects and had a solid foundation.
It’s just that the Harpers have been unlucky before. Drinking cold water has clogged their teeth, and even the simplest detection can go wrong.
Pochi shook his head, trying to drive those unpleasant memories out of his mind, and prepared to show off his skills in the next hunt.
But at this moment he heard Malu behind him say, "Red thread tubeworm, what is this?"
"Huh?" Boqi was stunned when he heard this, "You said Water carrier? Oh, that’s what the locals call the red tubeworm because its body is filled with water.
“If you lose water in the desert, just find a water carrier on its skin. Just make a cut and you'll get a large bowl of clean water immediately. "
"This title is quite appropriate. "Ma Lu agreed, and then humbly asked for advice, "Is the waterman delicious? ”
"No one has ever eaten a waterman, because it only has a thin layer of skin, and the remaining 97% is water."
"Then it's better to keep it, maybe it will be rescued sometime." Ma Lu thought thought for a while.
Poqi was confused, "What do you mean, are there any water carriers around here?"
Ma Lu nodded, "Well, it's not just here, we have met several water carriers along the way. "
Ma Lu has not turned off the detection mode on the traveler's bracelet since it was turned on, so every half minute the bracelet will scan a nearby circular area with a diameter of twenty meters. If there are ingredients, a notification will pop up immediately.
"How is this possible?" Boqi frowned, "Water delivery men are usually hidden under the sand, in different shades, and it is almost impossible to observe them from the outside."
"I have something special. "Search method." Seeing that Boqi didn't believe it, Ma Lu said, "Stop, there is something else here, Yang Shajie, well, this is the first time I have seen this name, but it still only has 1 star."
Although Boqi was still doubtful, he still stopped his motorcycle and said, "Are you sure where it is? Yangshaji can be sold for a good price in the market. If you encounter it, you will definitely catch it."
Ma Lu spread his hands, "I can't tell the exact location, but it's definitely not far from us."
Boqi didn't say anything after hearing this. He leaned down and put his ear to the sand. After a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head, and then rushed to the right.
“Hey, wait.”
Ma Lu was only halfway through his words when he saw Boqi’s people rushing out, and at the same time, there was a sudden wave of anger in front of his face. Dust.
Pochi fell into the sand, but when he got up again, he was holding an ugly animal with a pointed head, a long tail, and bone armor all over its body that was still twisting and struggling. .
“It’s really a squid.” Boqi said happily, “I heard it was about to run away and I took action first. What did you just want to say?”
"It's okay, you did a great job."
Boqi carried Yang Shaji back to the motorcycle, tied up its limbs with ropes, and looked at Malu with a different look.
“So your meat pigeon-type ability is used to detect and find prey?”
“This is just one aspect.”
Ma Lu used Pochi as much as possible He explained in an understandable way, "What I am really good at is sacrificing the souls of prey in exchange for strengthening the team and greatly improving the strength of the team members."
"Sounds a bit evil." Porky spat out the dust in his mouth.
"It sounds a bit evil, but I can assure you that there will be absolutely no side effects." Malu stretched out his hand, "So are you willing to be my teammate?"
Bo Qi hesitated. After a while, he finally didn't shake hands with Malu, but just said, "We are already teammates. You provide me with information about the prey, and I will hunt. After that, we can share the harvest equally. Well, we can also discuss the establishment of a hunting group."
"Then come to me when you change your mind." Malu didn't force himself.
Having gained something soon after leaving home, Boqi's mood turned from gloomy to bright. After that, Malu continued to use his special telekinesis and found many new prey.
Although some of them ran away before Boqi took action, and some may be hidden deeper underground and require special equipment to hunt, but even so, the two of them still gained a lot.
In just four hours, sixteen more gray elephant shrews, four black-breasted chickens, a nest of jerboas, and another jackal were caught.
Ma Lu was not idle when Boqi was hunting. He continued to pick up young flame lizards. There are so many of these little things in the desert. You can basically walk around for a while and you will encounter them. Malu picked them up again. Nine, including the ones in the cage, there are already sixteen.
It’s almost time to offer sacrifices to heaven.
Most of the blessing effects provided by these flame lizards are relatively weak, and only by increasing the number can you feel the improvement.
