"boom!"

A dull sound sounded, Lin Yue put down the fire ax, and the wooden box soaked by acid rain also opened.

But the golden light shining inside is still extremely dazzling!

【You got a gold treasure chest!】

The system's voice sounded again, but Lin Yue didn't have the time to listen.

"The reward for being first in the group is too great, and the gold treasure box is nothing."

The acid rain lake did not corrode this gold treasure chest, not even at all.

He held the fire ax and looked at another box.

"What will be the reward for being number one in the world rankings?"

Lin Yue knew that the worst thing would be no worse than a gold treasure chest.

It may even be a higher level treasure chest!

After splitting the box, Lin Yue quickly saw the result he wanted.

【You got the platinum treasure chest!】

Oh haha, sure enough, it’s a platinum treasure chest!

Indeed, if the prize is still a gold treasure box, then no one will have any idea about ranking first in the world. Wouldn’t it be nice to directly compete for the first place in a group?

When I just killed the giant creature, that monster called a beast of burden, I also received a platinum treasure chest.

In this way, there are two platinum treasure chests and one gold treasure chest!

In addition, there are also airdrop rewards just prompted by the system!

This wave...this wave is so exciting.

This is probably the second and third platinum treasure chest in the world!

But Lin Yue also knew it very well.

The next world rankings, including group rankings, will definitely be more competitive. With this grand prize ahead of you, no one will be tempted!

After all, for other survivors, the explosion rate of treasure chests is still very low. If you can get a treasure chest directly through the airdrop of the system, and it is of such a high level, who wouldn't be jealous?

Lin Yue walked past the acid rain lake that was no longer on fire. He did not take away the two parachutes that had been soaked in acid rain, but left them lying there until they were dry.

In the distance, the corpse of the giant creature is still smoking, but it is basically in a charred state. Although the original bull's head has not been swallowed by the flames, it doesn't look good anymore, and it has been burning from that side.

There was a smell that made him feel sick.

And this smell did make him feel dizzy and extremely uncomfortable.

Looking down at the flowers on the ground, Lin Yue knelt down and smelled them, and found that there seemed to be a very similar smell.

This feeling gradually disappeared after he put on the gas mask again.

The problem seems to arise here.

Lin Yue looked at the layer of earthy gray fur falling in the acid rain lake, and then at their kind scattered on the ground.

The seeds of the poisonous herb...

"Could it be that giant creatures play such a role?" An idea flashed in his mind.

Lin Yue used his gloves to pick off the flower that had been eaten by the Carrying Ox Snake Dragon, and the system immediately identified its name.

【Crazy Poisonous Herb】

Sure enough?

This flower called "Poisonous Herb" seems to be the center of the whole mystery.

From the previous observations and various information on the giant creature, the Pack-Ox Snake Dragon, it can be seen that it should be a mutated creature that only moves within a certain range.

Moreover, it is ferocious in nature, and in order to replenish a large amount of energy, it preys on a large number of mutated creatures as food.

After eating so much, this mutated creature might nibble on this "crazy poisonous herb" to make itself more comfortable due to "indigestion" or other reasons, so it would wander around looking for crazy people.

Poison grass.

After eating this "Poisonous Herb", a special kind of toxin, or something else, should accumulate in his body. This kind of thing will spread around as he breathes, making people who have no idea about it.

Humans with limited immunity suffer from the symptoms of "high fever".

Along with the high fever, there are symptoms of physical exhaustion and general weakness, which are probably the effects of the toxins of this qi.

However, this toxin will be quickly eliminated with the normal metabolism of humans, allowing the high fever to subside quickly and within one day.

However, it seems that this is only true in healthy people. People with extremely weak constitutions or chronic diseases will not be able to bear it. This is why some people who searched for fever before died.

Lin Yue now suspected that this kind of flower should have grown near Xia Feihong and his group's refuge village at that time, so when he was lying in the sarcophagus by the woods, he smelled the scent of the pack ox snake dragon that ran over there.

The poisonous gas finally led to the high fever. During the day, the pack ox snake dragon came again, and the thirty or so people in the refuge village also smelled the smell. The subsequent collective high fever was also caused by the same reason.

And this time the Pack Ox Snake Dragon came to his refuge because he was attracted by the poisonous grass that bloomed all over the wasteland.

From the name, it can be seen that the poisonous grass is definitely not a good plant. Lin Yue also saw its reproduction method in that giant creature.

When the Cow Snake eats these flowers, its body will also be stained with their seeds, and these seeds will cover and accumulate on its body over and over again, and even help it grow a hard shell on its body.

As it moves around, these seeds fall to the ground and become new plants.

After encountering acid rain, some of the shell peeled off and drifted around with the floods, and finally gathered in some relatively low-lying places, such as around his shelter, where roots sprouted and flowers grew again...

The Poisonous Herb used its own advantages to successfully spread its offspring, and the Pack Ox Snake Dragon was the spreader of this plant.

When Lin Yue thought about this, he suddenly thought of something else.

The giant creature seems to have appeared after the earthquake of the last disaster. Indeed, I have never seen a plant like Poisonous Herb before.

But this plant can use giant creatures and acid rain floods to spread seeds...

Is it too much of a coincidence? Isn’t the operation of Wild Poison Yingcao too smooth?

At this moment, among the many questions in Lin Yue's mind, there seemed to be something connected.

And these questions all point to a possibility.

"Could it be that this disaster has a... a cyclical pattern?"

It seems that is the correct answer?

Snowstorms infiltrated the wasteland soil, earthquakes caused giant creatures and poisonous grass to reappear, and acid rain floods allowed poisonous grass to spread everywhere and provide enough water and nutrients.

Lin Yue suddenly felt that he could even guess the specific content of one of the next disasters!

"If it is true, it is indeed a more terrifying and serious disaster than before."

Lin Yue once again took out a barrel of gasoline and handed it to Xiaobai.

The carcass of this beast of burden cannot be left behind.

No matter how much there is, let it burn it all. The weather is hot and if such a huge amount of meat rots, there may be a plague or the like, not to mention the residual poisonous gas in its own body.

Xiaobai took the order and flew high into the sky, pouring a large amount of gasoline on the body of the beast that was still on fire.

Tiny flames instantly rose into the sky and swallowed up the entire body of the beast of burden!

At this moment, Lin Yue looked up at the sky.

A parachute floated down from high in the sky.
Chapter completed!
