Light Spring Murmur
Chapter 24: An Unconventional Combination
The mole rats that grew up relatively well were basically as strong as wild dogs, quite fierce. To put it in perspective, ordinary people would definitely be afraid of encountering wild dogs, even if they had weapons.
But for the Iron-eating Beast, which now had a preliminary combat power and super vision, these mole rats could only be considered unlucky, one slap for each!
The mole rats were just glad they weren't bamboo rats, probably not very tasty, otherwise they would have been wiped out...
But even if they were bamboo rats, Eleven might not want to eat them.
Because of their physical evolution, the Iron-eating Beasts of this world basically didn't like to eat meat very much, but loved to eat metal minerals, which was quite novel.
Just wondering if there were any iron-skinned rats or something...
"This one should be Shi Yu's. Without his Iron-eating Beast, this mole rat would definitely have escaped."
As the Thorn Monster put down the mole rat that had been entangled and strangled until it lost its ability to move, Yu Jingjing said.
She still underestimated the reaction speed of the mole rats... The Thorn Monster, as a hunter in nature, had not been able to capture the mole rat immediately. It seemed that their training was not yet up to par.
"Yeah." Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue had no objections.
The reward for clearing a mole rat was only a dozen yuan each. Even Shi Yu didn't care about it, let alone these students from well-off families.
In Shi Yu's opinion, if he could clear 100 mole rats a day, considering Eleven's consumption and nutritional supplements, it would barely break even.
But then again, he wouldn't come here to make money. Training super vision was the important thing!
"Next, let's split up as we said in the car." Shi Yu said.
"Okay." Chen Kai nodded: "Then we'll meet here at noon."
This would increase the clearing speed, after all, this farmland and the entire mountain forest were too large.
First, split up and act separately. If you encounter lone mole rats, find your own way to deal with them. If you encounter groups of mole rats, call everyone together, brainstorm ideas, and then work together as a team for higher efficiency.
"Let's see who clears more mole rats?" Yu Jingjing said.
"Ah..." Zhuang Yue looked at her own Iron-eating Beast, lost in thought. If they were to compete, she suspected that she would be at the bottom.
She felt that her Iron-eating Beast and Shi Yu's Iron-eating Beast were not the same species.
At this time, Zhuang Yue's Iron-eating Beast had already begun to doze off, drowsy, while Shi Yu's Iron-eating Beast was still energetic, raising its head and looking around...
Good eyesight, everything looks pleasing to the eye.
Poor eyesight, everything looks like it has mosaics.
This was Eleven's current mood.
After agreeing, the four separated.
"The goal is 20, before noon..." Shi Yu said to Eleven, who was following beside him.
"Awoo!" Eleven showed a serious expression.
No, it wanted to catch 200!
It was rare for its eyesight to become so good, it wanted to move around as much as possible.
"I don't care how many you catch." Shi Yu looked at the big pit just now, and said, "You're not allowed to damage people's crops and fruit trees, got it?"
"Otherwise, not only will we not earn anything, but we'll also have to pay compensation."
"We don't have much money, we can only deduct it from your food expenses."
"Ying." Eleven's face fell, and its gaze of anticipation dissipated, its already hardened palm softened.
It was too difficult.
"Don't train Hardening today, mainly train your reaction ability. With your physical fitness, you can take down the mole rats without using skills." Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
This guy could now smash marks on steel plates, those fruit trees and crops really couldn't withstand it!
"But no matter how many you catch, all the rewards can be used to give you extra meals."
Shi Yu rewarded and punished clearly, and Eleven's eyes lit up.
...
Next, Eleven galloped wildly in the fields.
The farmer uncles responsible for guarding and patrolling the farmland arrived late, followed by counting the number of mole rats they had cleared.
These giant rats were indeed difficult to deal with. If they encountered them far from the entrance of the cave, with Eleven's explosive power, it could completely capture their movements and quickly knock them unconscious.
But when it encountered those close to the entrance of the cave, even though Eleven worked very hard, several of them still ran away, making it want Shi Yu to teach it Earth Tunneling skill on the spot, so it could directly catch them underground.
Shi Yu was speechless.
Weren't you very disdainful of skills obtained without effort before...
Now you know that having more skills is a good thing?
However, copying Earth Tunneling was impossible. With a limit to the number of skills recorded in the Skill Index, each skill had to be copied appropriately next.
Didn't he get so poor that he was looking for business opportunities in the Bug Silk skill? If he had another Earth Tunneling skill, he was afraid he would directly open an underground city construction business.
Time passed quickly.
At noon, Shi Yu and Eleven's score was temporarily 22, averaging one mole rat caught every 5 minutes.
Unfortunately, they didn't encounter groups of them, otherwise the number would be even higher.
At this time, Eleven was still full of energy and was still looking for mole rats in the fields.
Typical, the rats don't rest, I don't rest.
The other three had returned, dizzy from hunger, leaving only Shi Yu and Eleven still working hard.
"Damn, you're still catching them?" Chen Kai said incredulously.
After the three gathered at Shi Yu's side, they looked at Eleven, who was galloping in the field, full of vitality, and their mentality was somewhat affected.
It's been more than two hours, is this Iron-eating Beast so energetic???
Especially Zhuang Yue, her expression was strange, after all, her Iron-eating Beast started to doze off after not moving for long...
"After all, this is also a kind of training. Besides eating, my Iron-eating Beast likes to train." Shi Yu said after a moment of silence.
"Compared to his previous training volume... this is nothing."
The three: ???
"Weren't you in bad shape this morning, how are you so energetic now?" Chen Kai looked at Shi Yu blankly.
It was okay for the Iron-eating Beast to be an extraordinary creature and not tired, but how could you still be so energetic.
Basking in the sun for so long, and it was like nothing happened.
Shi Yu casually took out a Mind God Capsule and said, "Want one? It's quite effective."
The three's mentality was affected again.
After all, the normal reaction to being tired was to rest, but Shi Yu was fine... relying on eating supplements to restore his state???
This was too hard.
"I seem to know where I lost to the Beast Tamers studying in the city."
Chen Kai subconsciously imagined the scene of students in the city studying late into the night while taking drugs.
Not afraid of others being more talented than you, but afraid of being more拼命 than you!
Damn it! Completely lost.
"You, how many have you cleared?"
Zhuang Yue looked at Eleven, whose style was completely different from her Iron-eating Beast in the distance, and asked Shi Yu.
"How about you?" Shi Yu asked back.
"I have 6." Yu Jingjing said.
"7." Chen Kai said.
Zhuang Yue: "The Iron-eating Beast is too stupid, only two."
"Awoo—"
At this time, Eleven happened to come back, catching the keywords Iron-eating Beast and stupid that it could understand, and it was immediately unhappy.
Don't lump all Iron-eating Beasts together...
The physique between Iron-eating Beasts can't be generalized!
Following it back was also the patrolling farmer uncle responsible for cleaning up the battlefield for Shi Yu and his group.
"Don't say that, this little Iron-eating Beast is the most efficient pet I've ever seen. It caught 22 mole rats in two hours, very impressive."
He had only seen this kind of efficiency on some avian pets. He couldn't imagine it on an Iron-eating Beast.
22???
The heads of the other three were a little confused.
22? Was it 12, or 22???
Zhuang Yue was also dumbfounded, Eleven times hers? Was he kidding?
"Let's eat box lunches and rest first." Shi Yu said.
They had a cheat on seeing through, so there was no point in comparing.
Eating was important!
The staff of the village committee brought them box lunches. After eating a little, they had to continue working.
This was also the initial request of the four, after all, they were here to train. They could make do with lunch, and there was no need for a lunch break. They just needed to rest for a while.
Afterwards, the four of them each took a simple box lunch and started eating, along with cold mineral water.
Zhuang Yue's Iron-eating Beast, Chen Kai's Ice Armor Beast, and Yu Jingjing's Thorn Monster were all taken back to their Beast Spaces to rest, only Eleven... it was still outside.
After gobbling down a few mouthfuls of bamboo shoot rations that Shi Yu carried in his backpack, in order not to waste too much time, it ran to the side and worked hard to train itself.
It felt that its explosive speed was still too slow, otherwise it wouldn't have let so many mole rats run away.
Running away with one was equivalent to losing a section of bamboo...
With a sad mood, Eleven started sprinting back and forth along the field path.
This behavior confused Chen Kai and the other two.
Looking at the self-disciplined and diligent Eleven, Zhuang Yue, Chen Kai, and Yu Jingjing felt a little stuffy in their chests, not understanding what was going on.
Although there was mineral water, they felt that the box lunch was really difficult to swallow.
They looked at Shi Yu, who thought this was normal.
"This... doesn't your Iron-eating Beast need to rest???" Zhuang Yue asked her doubts.
This was unscientific, Iron-eating Beasts shouldn't be like this!!
She had spent so long picking them out at the breeding base, why couldn't she find such a vigorous Iron-eating Beast!
"Otherwise, why do you think it can master Hardening at the proficient level." Shi Yu was very calm throughout the whole time.
The three were immediately speechless, that made sense.
However, a Beast Tamer who carries supplements with him, an Iron-eating Beast who practices back-and-forth sprints in the middle of the afternoon without sleeping, you are not normal!!!
