Chapter 73 No Longer Safe
Below Gao Hanzhi's lower abdomen, at the waist, there was a row of huge and neat bite marks.
Under the blurred flesh and blood, one could vaguely see the traces of huge sharp teeth piercing through, and looking down... the lower limbs could no longer be seen.
Qi Yuan's heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, and his throat choked for a moment, unable to speak.
Perhaps, under the ruins... there was no body at all...
Qi Yuan's hands trembled slightly, and he turned his head to look at Gao Hanzhi's bitter smile.
He finally understood why she refused to drink the healing potion, and also understood the bitter smile on her face.
She knew very well what kind of injury she had suffered, and it was no longer a bottle of good-grade healing potion that could heal.
Gao Hanzhi tried to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she didn't have time to say a word, and a large amount of red blood gushed out like a fountain...
Streams of blood gushed out of her mouth, dyeing a large area of land red.
Qi Yuan hurriedly touched his chest, but it was of no use at all.
Qi Yuan wanted to say something comforting, but his trembling lips opened several times, but he still couldn't say a word.
Regardless of whether Gao Hanzhi was willing or not, Qi Yuan tried to pour the healing potion into her mouth, but the potion mixed with blood and all flowed out again.
Gao Hanzhi tried to speak many times, but she was always unsuccessful, and her injuries became more serious.
So, in the end, she could only show a helpless smile and gave up the idea of speaking.
Her eyes silently stared at Qi Yuan's face.
I don't know if it was lingering, or reluctant, or guilt, regret, fear, relief... complex emotions intertwined in her eyes.
A few minutes later, Gao Hanzhi's eyes became hazy, and she raised her hand with difficulty, tremblingly pointing to a ruin.
Qi Yuan's eyes just looked in the direction of his finger, and Gao Hanzhi's hand seemed to be deflated, and fell to the ground with a "pop".
When he looked back, Qi Yuan found that her eyes had dimmed. She had no strength to hold on any longer...
Qi Yuan felt dizzy and knelt on the ground for a long time. He stared at the cold body with empty eyes.
It was not until dozens of minutes later that Qi Yuan closed his eyes silently and stood up with difficulty. He found that his legs were numb.
He touched his forehead and found that it was full of cold sweat.
He twitched his feet with difficulty and took numb steps, slowly walking to the place where Gao Hanzhi pointed before she died.
The blood-stained white sheets and bedding were scattered on the ground.
This should be the bedroom before.
He turned over the sheets, bedding and bed board, and a wooden box was revealed underneath.
Qi Yuan hesitated for a while, but still opened it.
Under the illumination of the luminous stone, a bottle with crystal liquid shaking was quietly placed in it.
This is... the bottle of plant catalyst...
...
A fire rose in the ruins and swallowed up all the remains of the shelter.
Gao Hanzhi's body was also burned.
In the ruins, Qi Yuan never found the complete bodies of other people, only fragmented limbs and bloodstains.
In the huge gully dragged on the ground, the remaining gray-white huge snake skin and the strong smell of earth were found.
All these evidences show that this is a huge python that went out to forage.
Based on the traces left on the ground, Qi Yuan conservatively estimated that the diameter of the python's body reached a terrifying 4 meters.
According to the same proportion, its length is at least more than 50 meters.
This kind of behemoth is no longer a human enemy. No matter how solid the shelter is, it can't stop the attack of this beast.
Just seeing the traces it left behind made Qi Yuan feel terrified and he had no idea of resisting.
It is conceivable that the four women would be so scared when facing such a beast.
If it is fatal in one blow, it can be accepted.
But if it happens like Gao Hanzhi, how desperate it would be.
Qi Yuan stood silently in the snow, with the burning fire reflected in his pupils. The scorching temperature could not dispel the chill in his heart.
He asked himself in his heart, if this giant beast attacked his main shelter instead of the secondary shelter.
Then could he stop it?
Qi Yuan knew the answer clearly.
This would not be a war, but a one-sided massacre, a complete crushing of weak creatures by top predators.
Whether in terms of strength, speed, or size, humans are as weak as babies in swaddling clothes.
Qi Yuan was extremely depressed, as if his chest was pressed by a huge tripod, making him almost breathless.
When the fire was extinguished, Qi Yuan stood there for a while, then used the teleportation scroll and returned to the shelter.
...
The accident in the secondary shelter broke Qi Yuan's comfortable fishing life, and he had to make changes in advance.
Back in the shelter, Qi Yuan's heart was beating wildly.
He was afraid!
He had to do something to make up for the fear in his heart!
He came to the yard and first transformed a domesticated tree bee into a good-level tree bee queen.
Qi originally planned to use all resources to cultivate black tiger bee colonies. After all, tree bees are too weak and far inferior to black tiger bee colonies.
But now, he has changed his mind.
Although black tiger bees are powerful, their population is far lower than that of tree bees, and the growth of bee colonies is relatively slow.
On the contrary, tree bees are extremely numerous. During the cold wave alone, the number more than doubled to more than 5,000.
Qi Yuan plans to greatly expand the number of bee colonies, let them surround the shelter, and be alert to abnormalities around them at all times.
The existing tree bees are also spreading in the shelter, always paying attention to the surrounding situation.
Once an invincible beast appears, it can also tell Qi Yuan in time to avoid being wiped out.
There are also guarding thorns, and more plant nutrients should be collected to help it expand as soon as possible and spread around the shelter.
Not only near the shelter wall, but also spread over a wider area, preferably more than one kilometer in radius.
Because once it really appears, like the super giant python that destroyed the secondary shelter, it is likely that it will not even have time to escape and will be bitten to death immediately.
So this incident made Qi Yuan very uneasy.
He even wanted to change the location of the shelter again, to a safer area.
But in the end, he gave up this idea.
Because he couldn't predict if he would go out to find a new shelter.
Will he find a good location first? Or will he encounter a powerful beast first?
In addition, more than 500 black tiger bees cannot be wasted.
Qi Yuan thought of a way to improve the strength and survival ability of the black tiger bees to a certain extent.
Plasticine!
Dissolve the plasticine with water, and then make it into a small armor to cover the black tiger bees' shells to improve their defense capabilities.
Qi Yuan tried it and found that it was indeed successful and the effect was good.
However, it is necessary to pay special attention to not using too much plasticine, otherwise it will affect the flying speed and flight flexibility of the black tiger bees.
Qi Yuan called Chu Wenxi and Zhou Yue and asked them to put down their work temporarily and help put plasticine on the black tiger bees.
Each black tiger bee consumes about 35 grams.
After all the plasticine is used up, more than 500 black tiger bees are equipped.
However, after the secondary shelter is destroyed, there is no source of plasticine, and it will be difficult to obtain it in the future.
Let the black tiger bee colony also spread around the shelter. While collecting honey, they can always pay attention to the surrounding situation.
The Guardian Thorn has recovered some of its spirit during this period, but several Guardian Thorn vines have lost their lives in the cold current.
But fortunately, the mother Guardian Thorn is still alive.
He took out a bottle of plant catalyst liquid, which was the bottle left by Gao Hanzhi.
Looking at the crystal clear liquid, Qi Yuan felt like a fishbone stuck in his heart, and his turbulent emotions could not be calmed for a long time, which was very unpleasant.
He sighed, and his hand turned slightly over. The crystal clear plant catalyst liquid turned into a transparent thin line and dripped on the Guardian Thorn.
Like a newborn baby, the Guardian Thorn stretched out its curled body and swayed slowly in the cold wind.
As the energy was absorbed, the figure of the mother Thorn rose again, reaching about 2.5 meters, which was the same height as the wall.
Qi Yuan saw a touch of red, and a small red bud grew on the top of the Guardian Thorn.
At the same time, tiny sub-thorns began to appear around, surrounding the mother Thorn, quickly absorbing nutrients and growing.
The effect of a whole bottle of "plant catalyst liquid" did not disappoint Qi Yuan at all.
In addition to the mother thorn, there are more than 20 half-meter-high thorns spreading around, covered with sharp thorns, looking hideous and terrifying, entrenched next to the wall of the shelter.
As the guardian thorns become stronger, they soon set their sights on the creatures next to them.
There are many tree bees around, flying back and forth on the wall. When they pass near the guardian thorns, they are gently pulled by the vines and fall directly to the ground, becoming nutrients in the soil.
