It took Zhang Ping a whole morning to pick out the iron beads in the dough one by one.
In the afternoon, Liu Tiefeng arranged for him to familiarize himself with various materials. Most of the special materials in Pearl City were mainly derived from alienated beasts and mutated plants.
For example, the red chain snake was originally just an ordinary red chain snake and was a non-venomous snake.
But after becoming an alienated beast, this kind of snake will change from a non-venomous snake to a venomous snake. Not only will it grow fangs that can secrete fire venom, but the scales on its body will also be alienated. It has very strong defense and can also emit high temperatures.
There will be burnt marks everywhere.
Zhang Ping does not object to learning these contents, and is even more attentive to learning mathematics, physics, and chemistry than he did in his previous life. While teaching, Liu Tiefeng would also talk about some methods he used to collect materials and deal with alienated beasts when he was young.
These methods are actually valuable experiences.
Zhang Ping spent the next two days studying until the night of the 22nd.
The other party asked him to meet at the small park behind the brisket ramen shop on the 23rd, but he planned to visit the area first to familiarize himself with the environment.
After all, the original owner last returned to the orphanage three years ago after studying at Pearl Ability Academy. Zhang Ping didn't know what had changed in that place now.
After confirming that Liu Tiefeng had fallen asleep, Zhang Ping took advantage of the night to leave Iron Soul.
He already wears an assassination ring, like a ghost in the night.
Not far from Iron Soul, a Tianchang fox with a strong man's skin on its forehead was staring at the shop sign in boredom.
It didn't notice that Zhang Ping had left the window on the side of the store, and even subconsciously ignored its own task, just looking at the store blankly.
Suspicion, suspicion.
How could a fox not be suspicious?
‘Luo Shiyu’ never let go of his doubts about Zhang Ping.
But it believes that if Zhang Ping is really a suspect, he is definitely not the main leader.
Therefore, it sent its men to monitor Zhang Ping's every move, hoping to discover resistance forces among humans.
The problem is that Zhang Ping behaves normally during the day, but at night due to the effects of the Night Walker and the assassination ring, although the Tianchang Fox sent by him still remembers what the mission is, he always subconsciously ignores key information, and achieves nothing in a few days.
Tonight is the last surveillance.
If it is not discovered again, this Tianchang fox will give up monitoring Zhang Ping.
…
The journey was uneventful.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Ping arrived at the small park.
This small park is very different from the park in his memory. There are many more trees in the originally flat open space. These trees are not very tall, nor are they particularly dense, but after entering the small park, they feel like they are in the same place.
The feeling of being in the forest.
Something is wrong.
Zhang Ping couldn't help but hold the dagger hidden in his sleeve.
He felt like he was being watched. There were other people in the woods.
Suddenly, he saw a red light flashing on his right side. He immediately adjusted his stance, and then saw a mouse about the size of an adult house cat slowly walking out from behind a tree.
This is an alienated beast!
Zhang Ping made a judgment the moment he saw the mouse, and then launched an appraisal.
[Identification successful]
[Alienated Beast: Armored Poison-tailed Rat]
[Race: Alienated Rat]
【potential:??】
【Lifespan:50】
[Level: Elementary Altered Beast]
【Level:5】
【talent】
[Poisonous Tail: The bone spurs at the end of the tail contain highly toxic substances]
[Hardened fur: The fur is like armor, the defense is greatly improved, but the agility is also reduced]
…
Fortunately, it's just a primary alienated beast.
There is a level difference between two levels and five levels, but the difference is not big.
Zhang Ping felt relieved after reading it. If an intermediate-level alienated beast appeared, he might not be able to escape death tonight.
But even the primary alienated beasts cannot be careless.
After all, the identification results have shown that the tail of this armored poison-tailed rat contains highly poisonous substances.
Because of his lack of experience, Zhang Ping did not carry the antidote with him when he went out.
As far as he knows, the poison of all alienated beasts acts very quickly.
If you don't carry a universal antidote with you, you will basically be declared dead if you are poisoned.
Don't be careless.
But there is no need to be overly alarmed.
It's like meeting a poisonous snake, as long as you don't get bitten, you'll be fine.
Zhang Ping clenched the dagger in his right hand and focused his eyes on the armored poison-tailed rat.
This armored poison-tailed rat did not act rashly, but walked around Zhang Ping, looking for Zhang Ping's flaws.
The intelligence of alienated beasts is not low, and some traps that are effective against ordinary animals will hardly work on alienated beasts.
They will test their prey more cautiously than ordinary animals. If the prey is too strong, they will take the initiative to retreat. If they find that the prey is weak, they will take advantage of it.
Zhang Ping ordered himself to stay calm, then went through all the knowledge points he learned in school about dealing with alienated beasts in his mind, and chose to take the initiative at the next moment.
His feet instantly exerted force, and the whole person looked like a cheetah in the dark night.
The armored poison-tailed rat has stiff hair all over its body. Except for the awakened ones of the elemental system, most awakened people will choose to attack the eyes when encountering the armored poison-tailed rat. This is the most obvious key point of the armored poison-tailed rat.
The sharp tip of Beauty Tears pierced the armored poison-tailed rat's vitals. The armored poison-tailed rat couldn't dodge, so it simply curled up into a ball and rotated clockwise to relieve its force. Zhang Ping aimed a blow at the vital point, and finally landed on the armored poisonous tail.
Most of the strength was removed from the rat's tough fur.
The armored poison-tailed rat's fur is very tough.
Even though the dagger in Zhang Ping's hand was extremely sharp, it was still difficult to injure the armored poison-tailed rat even after most of its power was removed.
One blow missed and Zhang Ping immediately retreated.
The armored poison-tailed rat's curled-up body suddenly stretched out, its scarlet eyes stared at Zhang Ping, and its tail stabbed out continuously.
Because of his height, the attack point of the armored poison-tailed rat's tail fell on Zhang Ping's knees. Zhang Ping was unable to block it, so he had to stand on tiptoes and back away, quickly gaining distance from the armored poison-tailed rat.
Seeing that a series of attacks failed, the armored poison-tailed rat immediately stopped its offensive and chose to conserve its energy.
One meter away, Zhang Ping was panting and sweat was already visible on his forehead.
The main reason was that he had almost no strength left in the attack just now, and the series of dodges that followed were even more uncareful.
Sure enough, actual combat consumes more energy than exercise.
Pearl Ability Academy has special courses that teach how to allocate physical energy and how to save physical energy.
Zhang Ping thought for a while and simply changed the posture of holding the dagger. At the same time, the way he stood also changed. His left foot was in front of him and his right foot was behind him, and his hands were gradually raised.
Ming Fist·Chasing the Rat!
Zhang Ping knew very well that it was impossible to exert the power of chasing rats with his fists alone.
So he still didn't give up the dagger, but used the Ming Fist method to deal with small alienated beasts.
He was faster than the Armored Poison-tailed Rat. The Armored Poison-tailed Rat didn't dare to move rashly after he distanced himself. In fact, now he could continue to retreat and completely get rid of the Armored Poison-tailed Rat.
The problem is that the patrol team has been occupied by Tianchanghu, and he can't find anyone to turn to.
If he doesn't deal with the armored poison-tailed rat in front of him, children from the orphanage may be killed if they come to play in the park tomorrow.
This is a result he cannot accept.
Take a deep breath.
He stepped towards the Armored Venom-Tailed Rat again.
The armored poison-tailed rat's body shrank slightly, but its tail was raised high, making it look like a big scorpion.
Suddenly, Zhang Ping accelerated violently, first attacking the right side of the armored poison-tailed rat, and then turning to the left when the armored poison-tailed rat's tail stabbed to the right.
However, the armored poison-tailed rat reacted extremely quickly, twisting its tail in an 'S' shape and immediately stabbing Zhang Ping's stretched out arm.
There are flaws.
Zhang Ping's eyes lit up, he stepped into a horse stance with both legs, and pushed his center of gravity downwards.
He pressed down on his horse, and his hand also changed its trajectory, just in time to miss the armored poison-tailed rat's tail.
This is the armored poison-tailed rat's central door wide open. Faced with the sudden change of punch, it is no longer possible to avoid it, so it can only exert all its strength and try its best to retreat.
But it's too late.
Before it started, Zhang Ping punched him in the head.
This punch was so powerful and heavy that even though the armored poison-tailed rat was protected by its bristles, it was still blinded by the punch.
When it regained its sight, a sword light struck instantly.
Zhang Ping's hand holding the dagger pierced the armored poison-tailed rat's eye, instantly piercing the armored poison-tailed rat's eyeball, and then the dagger drove straight in and penetrated the armored poison-tailed rat's brain.
However, at the last second before the armored poison-tailed rat died, its body reacted instinctively, curling up and stabbing Zhang Ping's wrist with its tail.
Zhang Ping was always on guard against the armored poison-tailed rat's tail, and when the armored poison-tailed rat curled up, he flew away with his hand.
In the blink of an eye, the battle is over.
The armored poison-tailed rat's final counterattack failed, and its body fell to the ground, with blood flowing from its eyes.
"call."
Zhang Ping took two steps back and breathed a sigh of relief.
This result is not surprising.
After all, it's night now, and he has the talent of being a nightwalker, which has a huge advantage in itself.
In addition, the weakness of this alienated beast is very obvious.
Because the armored poison-tailed rat's fur has a greatly increased defense, its weight will also increase accordingly, which results in the armored poison-tailed rat's speed being slower. Zhang Ping's movement speed will become faster at night due to his reduced weight.
Below, the armored poison-tailed rat is difficult to avoid.
However, the appearance of this armored poison-tailed rat is a bit strange, and since Nightcrawler has an assassination ring, it is theoretically impossible for the armored poison-tailed rat to notice him.
He looked around, and considering that his physical strength was not light, he did not continue to stay, but decisively turned around and left.
A few minutes later, a woman wearing a light green military uniform appeared next to the armored poison-tailed rat's body. She squatted down to check the cause of the armored poison-tailed rat's death.
"Sister Sisi, do you think your old friend is a human or an alienated beast?" She lifted the armored poison-tailed rat with her hand and asked.
At some point, a woman in white was standing behind her. The woman was wearing an ice mask, and her hair was exuding a faint white mist.
"I don't know, but I hope he is human." The woman said lightly.
Although the organization has determined that alienated beasts have sneaked into the city, it has only grasped the identities of a few alienated beasts. Every time the organization members enter the city, it is quite dangerous.
If Zhang Ping's abnormal or even eccentric behavior had not attracted the attention of the organization, she would not have contacted Zhang Ping rashly.
"But... if my life talisman is shattered tomorrow, you will directly detonate the black chamber." The woman thought for a while, and then added.
After all, she insisted on contacting Zhang Ping, and she must take responsibility for any accidents.
The woman in military uniform was silent for a moment, then said: "In my opinion, Zhang Ping must be an alienated beast, so just kill him."
"No, at least I can be sure that Zhang Ping's murderous intention that night was real." The woman in white denied.
The woman in military uniform stood up and looked at the body of the armored poison-tailed rat, and sighed: "I hope you are right, Sister Sisi. At least he didn't eat this smelly rat in one bite. Maybe it is really a human being."
"Okay, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go." said the woman in white.
Then the two men gathered up the body of the armored poison-tailed rat and quickly disappeared into the night.
…
The next day, Zhang Ping got up early.
Today, he decided to try the 'mixing and forging technique' again in the morning.
In the past two days, he would still take the contract gems on time in the morning. Although the exercise method had been changed to kneading noodles, the physical exertion was actually higher than usual. It was precisely because he could feel his progress that he gave up his usual exercise.
, focus on making noodles.
After eating the contract gem, he picked up the prepared materials and put them into the fire, while Liu Tiefeng was smoking and guiding.
Probably because he was mentally prepared, the high temperature did not push him back this time. He gritted his teeth and persisted in the movements of his hands, crushing various materials and kneading them evenly.
Suddenly, he felt a burning pain in his stomach and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Who would have thought that with this inhalation, the flames in the furnace would be sucked out of the furnace by him, and inhaled into his nose like water. The warm flames entered his stomach along his throat, and he suddenly felt his whole body
They were all very energetic, and the rubbing movements became smoother.
Any new talents?
Zhang Ping thought to himself, but because the forging was not over yet, he did not dare to lose his mind, but focused more on the movements of his hands.
Liu Tiefeng watched on the side without saying a word. After all, every awakened person in Pearl City has different abilities, and he has already become accustomed to all kinds of strange abilities.
But after a while, he felt something was wrong and said, "The temperature of the stove is too low. Please add more firewood."
Zhang Ping also realized that he had absorbed too much heat and quickly used his free hand to add firewood.
When the flames became strong again, he continued the action at hand.
