Chapter 156 Salt Man

Yang Yi opened his eyes and observed the strange phenomenon on the island from both near and far perspectives.

The salt on the ground seemed to come alive, like a fluid, forming a half-human body in front of the armor.

It was almost exactly the same as the strange creatures Yang Yi had seen in hallucinations or dreams.

And the thorn that pierced the long-legged sardine was probably also part of this thing!

Without much hesitation or hesitation, the armor immediately took action and attacked with a shovel, smashing the salt man into salt grains with a strong slap.

But this attack did not have much effect. The broken salt man reshaped, and one hand became a spike, which directly pierced into the chest cavity opened by the armor, hitting the long-legged sardine in the glass jar.

In just one second, the long-legged sardine withered, and the water in its body was sucked dry like its companions, turning it into a salted fish.

The armor struck again and broke the salt man again.

After that, the salt man disappeared, as if he had turned into ordinary salt, scattered on the ground, leaving only the skeleton-like salt crystals on the ground, which would break when touched.

This skeleton is not a human skeleton, but an internal skeleton like a stickman, which is slightly harder and provides support for the body of the salt man.

If there are more skeletons, coupled with wind erosion, it is basically the same as the bushes in the middle of the island.

So there are a lot of salt men on this island?

Yang Yi couldn't help but make such a guess, and he was a little scared in his heart.

If he didn't have this set of armor and went directly to the island, he would probably be attacked by the salt man. If he was injured by his sneak attack, he would be fatally injured instantly!

Because the salt man only reacts to living things, neither the armor nor the dead human-headed octopus could lure them out.

It was not until the long-legged sardine appeared on the island that it was attacked by these lurking salt men!

"Yang Yi, bring these salts back quickly to have a look, especially those that have just turned into human form!"

Su Na said.

She also observed the scene just now and was full of interest in this different life form.

"But why is it human-shaped?

Since it can freely change its body structure with salt, there is no need to shape a head, and its head has no facial features..."

Suna was a little excited.

The salt man disappeared after killing two long-legged sardines, as if he had never existed.

It was not hostile to the armor, even though the armor smashed its body twice.

Yang Yi controlled the armor and collected some salt on the ground, but the amount was not much, so that even if the salt man appeared, there would not be enough salt for him to form a body.

The salt was packed in a glass jar and packed separately according to Suna's requirements.

After finishing, the armor began to return home, boarded the raft, and paddled towards the Nightmare Star dozens of meters away.

Soon, the armor climbed onto the deck.

Yang Yi stood in front with a large crystal shield in his hand and a roaring flintlock in his other hand.

Suna also came over and kept alert with a large crystal shield in his hand according to Yang Yi's arrangement.

There was no danger.

The chest armor opened normally, revealing the wooden barrel and glass jar inside.

"Wait."

Yang Yi stopped Su Na who wanted to come forward, took off the blindfold, and walked towards the two containers.

With three eyes, he could easily capture the movement of even a grain of salt!

But until Yang Yi took the container away with his hands, the salt and soil still did not react, but the information popped up from the activity log.

[Name: Sea Salt]

[Introduction: Sea salt that can be obtained by evaporating seawater. The taste and color of sea salt in different seas may be slightly different, and it contains impurities and emits an unpleasant salty smell. ]

-----------

[Name: Corrupted Whale]

[Introduction: It does not refer to whales, but a giant creature living in fertile seas. They are of different shapes and sizes, difficult to kill, and will continue to grow.

Its core can be put into the monster capsule machine, generally known as the fruit of abundance, also known as the constantly regenerating flesh and blood. 】

-----------

The information about the salt is nothing, but as soon as the information about the rotten whale came out, Yang Yi's eyes lit up!

"The flesh and blood that are constantly regenerating are actually hidden in the fertile sea!"

But he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Because the source of the information was a substance that he regarded as soil.

But in fact, this is the tissue of the rotten whale, but because of high dehydration, it has become a mud-like existence.

So this island is not an island at all. It was originally a giant creature, but it withered and died for some reason!

After confirming that there was no danger, Yang Yi handed the container to Suna, who ran directly into the laboratory.

But the question remained.

If this salt is just ordinary sea salt, then what was the salt man before?

Suna is studying it, but Yang Yi does not intend to wait, and is ready to control the armor to continue exploring the island.

Unlike before, this time he wants to check what is on this island that can make the salt form a salt man.

This armor will not be attacked by salt, so the risk of exploration is very small.

But before that, there is one thing that must be determined, that is, how large the range of control of this armor is.

If it's only a few hundred meters, then we have to change our plan.

We have to test it.

He controlled the armor and prepared to climb off the boat, but unexpectedly found that the shovel in the armor's hand was rusted!

It seemed to have been unused for several years without maintenance and became rusty.

This was probably caused by the salt man, because the shovel hit the salt man.

Yang Yi took a photo and sent it to Su Na, telling her the news.

This means that metal weapons may be affected by the salt man, accelerating corrosion, losing sharpness or even breaking.

Fortunately, the armor itself is fine. After all, it is a top-grade armor, and the material is very different from ordinary iron shovels.

After sending the message, Yang Yi continued to control the armor to paddle and head towards the island.

After standing on the shore, he ordered the armor to stand still, and then controlled the Nightmare Star to retreat.

In this way, he can roughly estimate the range that the armor can control based on the distance between the Nightmare Star and the island.

After retreating for almost a thousand meters, the view on the armor side suddenly went black, and Yang Yi lost control.

"Only a thousand meters..."

Yang Yi frowned.

This distance is too short for an island with a diameter of five kilometers, and it is only enough to explore the periphery.

He thought for a while, drove the boat back, and controlled the armor to climb onto the boat.

"If I wear more, will there be a better control effect..." Yang Yi guessed.

He decided to give it a try, took off the right arm of the armor, and put on all the arm armor and shoulder armor.

Anyway, without a hand, it is difficult for the right arm to function.

The spike pierced into the right arm, and Yang Yi's body trembled.

The sharp pain that came instantly made his forehead covered with cold sweat.

Fortunately, it was only a moment. If it continued, the pain would be no less than self-immolation.

"The person who designed this armor is really twisted..."

After wearing the armor on the entire right arm, Yang Yi was more adept at controlling the armor.

Not only vision, Yang Yi could even feel the touch through the armor, which was very magical, as if the armor had become his skin.

After that, the distance was tested again. This time the controllable range reached 3,000 meters, and finally the armor could be controlled to explore the center of the island.

Yang Yi handed the broken iron (fake) to the armor because it was lighter, and it could be used with one arm at strength 8, and it was not afraid of salt erosion.

After that, he handed the safety of the ship to Suna, and sat in a corner of the witch laboratory, and began to devote himself to controlling the armor to explore the salt island.
