Chapter 259 Looking for Qin Hu, markers, five-clawed footprints

“This place is almost exactly the same as the real world...”

“It’s more realistic than the AR games I played before.” 
A young deputy leader of the battle group walking behind looked at the hell-like world in front of him and couldn't help but speak.

Lin Feng looked back at him. This guy was younger than himself. He was Shen Jie’s classmate. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old and he was a serious game fan.

Relying on his obsession with fighting monsters and upgrading, this guy's promotion speed was not slow, and he became the first ten warriors to successfully advance to the late second level, and was soon promoted to the deputy leader of the genetic war group.

However, Lin Feng was also shocked by the too real final land in front of him, so he replied:

"This is a hundred times more real than the trial world. Of course, there are no details."

“Just like a small copy of an ordinary online game, like a 3A single-player masterpiece, one is just a quick cutscene to gain experience and equipment, and the other is to create an immersive experience in the real world...” 
As he spoke, Lin Feng suddenly thought of Qin Hu’s death, and his tone became lower:

"So, such a real touch, even breathing is immersive..."

"If an accident occurs, the pain caused by the injury will be greater than before. The world of artistic conception is more intense, more real, and the touch is amplified a hundred times!"

Hearing Lin Feng's other side, everyone behind him couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Qin Hu's death.

The deputy leader of the battle group who had just spoken turned pale and quickly put away his admiration and became cautious instead.

Zhi Yi, who was walking in front of everyone at the moment, heard the conversation between the two, turned around and stabbed him again:

"You should worry about other things more than these."

Lin Feng frowned slightly, a little confused.

Xiaoyi looked into the distance with a deep look:

“Because the land of the end is more real, whether it is the spine worm condensed by the artistic conception, or the one who enters it to participate in the trial The second-level peak tiger spine insects will be stronger than those in the previous trial world!"

"Not to mention the king spine insects in the volcano, the peak tiger spine insects participating in the trial, Because the final land has a higher endurance, the strength that enters it after scanning can be about 70% to 80% of the original.”

"And you are probably only half, and this is the real challenge..."

"They will regard us as invaders and competitors, and kill us here together."

>"I won't think about it like before. Everyone works together to help each other. Here, the law of survival of the jungle has been implemented to the end. Even when facing ordinary first-order black spine worms, don't take it lightly."
 "Lin Feng and I entered it with the second-level peak strength. We were placed in the End of the End and could barely cope with one second-level peak tiger spine insect to start the trial..."

"If If you encounter two or more at the same time, you can only retreat while fighting and escape back to the trial world.”

"Although it is unlikely that you will encounter peak tiger spine insects continuously in this land shrouded in a murderous mood, you must be prepared to flee and face death at any time."

Hear what Chi Yi said , everyone immediately understood that they came from a lower trial world, and their strength level was much weaker than the final land in front of them.

Here, any peak tiger spine insect can kill them and cause great losses.

Everyone who realized this became more cautious, always looking around and observing their surroundings.

In case tiger spine worm attacks.

Soon, everyone followed Zhiyi's footsteps and arrived at the middle of the scarlet massacre. There was only less than ten kilometers away from the bloody volcano that was more than 4,000 meters high.

The killing energy nearby was so rich that it penetrated into the inky obsidian on the surface, turning these originally opaque black glass crystals into blood-colored and translucent red crystals.

The fire clouds in the sky look extremely strange and weird.

The Killing Volcano in the distance is already erupting. At the edge of the crater on the top of the mountain, hot bright yellow magma slowly flows down along the gap.

On the mountain, it gradually cools into dark red.

If you want to deal with the king spine worm, you must first endure the hundreds of degrees of heat on the volcano, and always pay attention to the hot magma flowing everywhere like flowing water.

Just when everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them, a group of tiger spine insects that were twenty or thirty meters in size suddenly crawled out of a pothole in front of them.

Their strength level is in the early to mid-level of the second level, not too strong. They are the artistic conception spine insects that have been refreshed here.

In order to avoid exposing his whereabouts, Zhi Yi carefully led a group of people and hid in a crack several meters deep, using spiritual energy to cover up the aura of everyone.

Then he turned around and whispered to everyone:

"The area covered by the killing concept covers hundreds of square kilometers. If we continue like this, we have to avoid the tiger spine insect swarms in all directions, and we have to look for Qin Hu everywhere..."

"It may take more than ten days to search. There is no trace.”

“Do you have any other ideas?”

Everyone looked at each other, lost in thought.

Lin Feng looked back at the way the group came:

"If Qin Hu dies in this final place, will he be resurrected at the starting point? It is the edge of the artistic conception that he just passed through the spiritual tunnel and arrived at..."

"If this is the case, we will only If you have to wait a little longer, you might be able to meet Qin Hu who is reborn again."

Hearing Lin Feng's speculation, Zhiyi shook his head:

"It's difficult, if he is here. Before dying for the second time, he has been infected by the power of the law here, that is, he has been eroded by the killing artistic conception in front of him to the point where he has completely turned into an irrational spineworm. Then the place of rebirth after death will be in the killing artistic conception. Covered land, respawns randomly ”

“Usually at the edge, but at least not at the initial point we arrive at.”

"Because the space there is not stable, and the influence of the laws of the End is the weakest there. Generally, rebirth requires a stable energy environment to provide conditions for aggregation."

Lin Feng frowned slightly, so First of all, it was really hard to determine where Qin Hu might appear.

The killing atmosphere here is hundreds of times stronger than the killing artistic conception formed by Shen Jie alone. Even if Qin Hu can resist a little, it is absolutely inevitable that he will be assimilated to the killing artistic conception and lose his mind.

Faced with such a vast and dangerous final land, how to find traces of Qin Hu...

After Zhi Yi rejected Lin Feng's suggestion, everyone fell into a long period of confusion. In deep thought.

Until one of the members from Qin Hu's men seemed to remember something and said:

"General Qin has a very strong willpower. Even if he enters the Land of the End, it is unlikely that he will be killed by the people here. The artistic conception affects him and causes him to lose his mind in an instant. "

"Before he falls into confusion and loses himself, he will definitely realize that he must leave some traces and traces to guide him from the trial world when his mind is clear. Here, the next trialer is reborn from death.”

“Lead us to find him! Join him!”

After hearing what this warrior said, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they all seemed to think so. Makes sense.

Lin Feng immediately nodded and said:

"That's right! Before the outbreak of the apocalypse, Qin Hu was an extremely professional special forces soldier. He trained for many years and cultivated a sense of detection and counter-detection that has become deeply ingrained. It is impossible to think of it. He must leave clues to guide the resurrectors behind him."

"But he probably didn't expect that we would all come to look for him."

Zhi Yi agreed: 
"Okay, let's go back to the resurrection point and have a look, and then move around in this area. I think even if Qin Hu is resurrected, he will not run too far out of caution."

"After all, it seems now that the resurrection point of the fragmented space is obviously safer than the foot of the volcano full of spineworms."

"If he is still alive and has not encountered any accidents, he will definitely still be there. Nearby!”

In this way, after everyone came to the conclusion after discussion, under the leadership of Lin Feng and the others, they left the middle area covered by the killing concept, took another road, and returned to the resurrection point.

On this return trip, everyone no longer followed behind, but lined up in a row, looking around at the terrain far and near, not missing any detail or corner.

Finally, in the shattered space near the Scarlet Killing and Invasion, near the original resurrection point, a careful member found a triangular saw blade with complete rules on the ground.

The palm-sized saw blade is made of the giant jaw material of the tiger spine insect, and its shape and appearance are exactly the same as the tiger-tooth chain sword in everyone's hands.

Qin Hu's genetic warriors are also equipped with the tiger-tooth chain sword developed by Ding Chenghai, but in terms of attributes, they are not as powerful as the one synthesized by Lin Feng. In fact, the production process of tiger-tooth chain swords is not complicated and sophisticated. It is just that a large number of basic industries in the Jincheng base have been moved to the rear. This has kept the output of the Salvation Army's chain swords at a low level.

In the battle to defend the capital in the north, the Quartet Corps could mass-produce tiger-tooth chain swords as long as they collected tiger spine insect corpses.

Although it is not possible for every second-level awakened person to hold one, hundreds of mid- to late-level second-level melee elites can still assemble this powerful melee weapon.

So this time when they entered the world of artistic conception and conducted a trial, Qin Hu and his thirty-six genetic warriors were brought in together with the tiger-tooth chain swords they were equipped with after undergoing mental scanning.

In the subsequent trial world, after Lin Feng upgraded, he has transformed into a lv29 tiger-tooth chain sword.

With the blessing of subsequent attributes, it can easily split the armor of the second-level peak tiger spine insect.

At this moment, the saw blade found in the hands of the team members obviously did not reach the level of sharpness of the 29th level saw blade. After Lin Feng took it, he also discovered that the texture of this saw blade came from at most one Only a middle stage tiger spine insect.

But the shape is very regular, and it cannot be forged by these crazy spineworms who only know how to fight.

After several confirmations, it was finally determined that the saw blade in the corner was left by Qin Hu!

Besides a large-caliber hand cannon, it is also the only thing in his hand that can set an obvious mark.

Lin Feng put away the saw blade, looked around and said:

"Look again, there will be few spine worms here, and there should be other markers nearby."

Everyone scattered and searched everywhere.

At this time, Lin Feng saw the bloody earth infected by scarlet carnage, covered with a layer of black-red gray snow by the falling volcanic ash, like a decaying ruins...

Suddenly he remembered something and asked. A man next to me said:

“Wait a minute, you said before that the time flow rate in the trial world we are in is a thousand times that of the outside world...”

“Then the scale in front of us is larger and the laws are more real. The final place..."

Zhi Yi also realized something and immediately replied:

"Since the Land of the End has 10% of the scale of the Divine Realm, it stands to reason that the flow rate of time should be a hundred times different from that of the Trial World, which is one thousandth. Therefore, the flow rate of time here is the same as before. A hundred times."

"We were delayed for more than an hour in the trial world..."

"So four whole days have passed in the End!"

"This thing was left behind four days ago?!"

Lin Feng nodded, looked at the half-cut saw blade in his hand that was infected by the killing energy, and whispered with a look of embarrassment:

"In four days, even if Qin Hu's willpower was strong, he could not withstand the erosion of the killing concept."

"Now he has either been distorted by the killing concept into a human-insect monster, or he has reopened the world. Other places."

"Even if we find the mark he left, the possibility of finding Qin Hu himself is very slim..."

However, before Lin Feng finished speaking, A nearby genetic warrior suddenly shouted in shock:

“Everyone, come here! I found it!”

The person who spoke out was the team member who had just been bold enough to find the first saw blade.

When everyone walked in and took a look, it turned out that he had found another saw blade based on the direction in which the tip of the triangular saw blade was pointed.

“The federally manufactured tiger-tooth chain sword has a total of twenty-four saw blades, and twenty replacement saw blades are usually carried in the equipment bag, just in case something happens.”

Another soldier under Qin Hu held up the tiger-tooth chain sword in his hand and explained.

Lin Feng and Zhi Yi looked at each other and kept the conclusions drawn from their previous conversation deep in their hearts.

After all, we have come to this point. Instead of telling everyone this inference, we should take it one step at a time and see if these saw blade marks can provide more clues.

If we can really find Qin Hu's location, there will be no need to dampen everyone's enthusiasm.

So the group of people continued to move forward in the direction pointed by the tip of the saw blade, and soon came under a huge boulder.

This huge rock is covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash.

There seems to be no trace of activity at all.

But after everyone's careful search, they soon discovered that the bottom of the boulder that was dyed blood-colored by the murderous mood...

hidden a narrow pit half a meter wide, which was blocked with a piece of obsidian.

After everyone removed it, there were obvious signs of digging at the entrance of the pit.

"Qin Hu should have rested here before. After all, he cannot rest and watch at the same time by himself. He must find a bunker to hide."

Thinking of Qin Hu being alone, struggling for several seconds God, Lin Feng couldn't help but say.

When he came closer, he smelled a faint smell of blood coming from the entrance of the cave. Several people around him also smelled this unusual smell, and they frowned slightly.

Because this smell does not have a strange smell of sulfur like the smell of blood that pervades this place.

But the smell of pure human blood.

Qin Hu's soldiers were so anxious that they volunteered to get into the pit, and finally crawled out of the hole with only dozens of irregular pieces of Zerg armor.

Lin Feng took a look and saw that it should be the Zerg outer armor that proliferated on the body surface of the genetic warrior in the assimilated form.

Obviously, when Qin Hu still had reason, out of fear of complete assimilation, he tore off pieces of insect beetles with blood and flesh like Shen Jie and Zhang Liying did back then. Prevent the spread of distortion.

Looking at the dried and cracked blood and flesh on the back of the insect beetle, everyone felt even more worried.

“Let’s go and look around. If the shelter is still there, Qin Hu should be active around here.”

After finding Qin Hu’s camp, Lin Feng took a deep breath. Get up and look around.

He led everyone to launch a carpet search centered on the huge rock hole.

It didn’t take long for a new discovery to be made:

The deputy leader of the battle group who had lamented that the end of the land was too real, immediately called everyone after observing the strange terrain somewhere. .

When everyone gathered together, he pointed to the thick layer of volcanic ash scattered in front of him and the exposed broken stones, and said in a deep tone:

"There was a fight here, that person General Qin is most likely one of them."

"Look, there are several pieces of red crystal here. The appearance and degree of fragmentation are very different from those that fell naturally nearby. They were seriously injured in a fierce fight. Destroyed.”

"Come and see here..."

As he spoke, he squatted down and stretched forward, using his hands to wipe away the layer of volcanic ash falling and accumulating on the ground.

The next moment, a bizarre and strange scene that made everyone hold their breath and with huge pupils was revealed!

I saw this obsidian surface, covered by volcanic ash...

A paw print of half a meter in size suddenly appeared!

Through the deeply sunk broken obsidian, one can see these huge claw marks, like human hands, with five long claws of different thicknesses and lengths...

And this is obviously not something that the Spiny Zerg can leave!

At this time, everyone present was stunned, until Lin Feng, who was full of surprise, turned to look at Zhi Yi:

"This is..."
