B World.

"Woo~~~" The sound of a propeller sounded in the air of the cave world.

The sound was so strange to this creature. A small group of giant pigs are digging through the woods, looking for food. Hearing this voice, one of them, which was more than 4 meters tall at the head and shoulders and looked like the leader's giant pig, hurriedly raised his head and searched.

A small figure flies under the clouds, looking like a bird, but with a metallic sheen reflected on it. The leader of the giant pig squinted his little eyes for a moment, made sure that this thing did not pose a threat to him, and after a few snorts, he left it alone and continued to look for food. The "iron bird" circled around the giant flock and continued to fly forward. If an earthling sees this thing, they will definitely recognize it at a glance, this is a large drone.

At the mouth of a cave more than 60 kilometers away, a field camouflage shed is now being erected, and on the top of the next mountain, a folding signal transceiver tower disguised as a tree has been erected. Under the camouflage shed, Su Ze, dressed in camouflage, was sitting in front of the drone's operating device and fiddling.

"Well, it's a bunch of giant pigs...... "He observed the images transmitted by the drone as he did the work of marking them on the electronic map.

Using drones to scout maps is not something that comes to mind now. The main reason is that the market for this kind of commodity is relatively small, and almost all of the spots are small UAVs, with small load, slow speed and short range, which cannot meet the requirements of Su Ze. Large drones like the one used now are not in stock at all. Su Ze ordered the goods more than two months ago, but only got them a week ago, plus the technicians sent by the manufacturer to learn operation and maintenance, until today I used it for the first time.

The drone is a product of an aircraft company in Beijing, with a wingspan of nearly 5 meters and a length of nearly 3 meters. The maximum ceiling is more than 500 meters, the cruising speed is 150 km/h, the range is 600 kilometers, and as long as there is a 40-meter-long smooth road, it can take off and land smoothly. A camera is installed in the front of the nose and in the lower part of the fuselage, which can not only take aerial photos, but also transmit images back in real time.

Since there is no satellite navigation in this world, it is quite cumbersome to use such large drones. If you rely on radio remote control alone, it is easy to lose communication and lose contact with the aircraft. To this end, when Su Ze placed an order, he asked the manufacturer to install a high-power radio signal transceiver device, an advanced flight control system, and an additional folding signal tower.

Therefore, the price of this UAV system is as high as 220,000 yuan, which is more than double that of normal similar products.

But now it looks like it's really worth the money. It's much faster to find your way with this thing than with two legs. Now that Su Ze has drawn a map, it is much more convenient and efficient than before. The results of just over an hour now, if they were to be replaced before, even if it took a week, it would not be possible.

What's more, there are too many tough creatures in this world. What kind of bipedal flying dragon, petrified lizard, if you run into one, it will be enough for Su Xue to drink a pot, how can it be safe now.

Of course, relying on this kind of aerial reconnaissance, it is needless to say that it is safe, but it can only detect part of the intelligence, such as terrain and biome distribution, etc., some obvious targets. As for detailed targets such as what type of resources, how many mineral deposits, and the status of water sources, it is up to people to explore. There is no way, even the most advanced aerial reconnaissance cannot be done about these detailed projects.

..............................................................................

Soon, the drone sent back a new picture. "Well, another bunch of giant pigs...... 7,8,9...... Oh, a large colony of 12 heads!"

The name [Giant Pig], of course, was named by Su Ze. It is an animal that resembles the African warthog on Earth, but it is dozens of times larger. With an average shoulder height of about 3 meters and an average length of more than 6 meters, an adult looks like a noseless African elephant and is estimated to weigh at least 5 tons.

In Northeast China, there is such a saying: "one pig, two tigers and three bears", that is, wild boars are more powerful than tigers, although this statement has exaggerated elements, but the combat effectiveness of adult male wild boars is indeed considerable. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, no carnivore would have bothered them.

No wild boars have been found in the Cave World, at least not yet, but they do have an enhanced version of their relative, the Giant Pig. Their six crescent-shaped fangs protruding from their jaws protrude from their mouths nearly a meter long, each the thickness of a sea bowl, and shrink sharply from the bottom to the top into a spear tip shape, like six giant spears.

Their heads appear large, taking up about a quarter of their entire body. Correspondingly, their mouths are quite large, and it is estimated that swallowing a calf in one bite is not a problem.

And the jaw muscles are also very developed, Su Xue saw with his own eyes that they can bite off an isosceles thick tree trunk with just one bite. The defense of the giant pig is also quite high, and underneath the sparse body hair, is keratinized skin. And on them, there are also countless steamed bun-shaped keratinized protrusions, ranging from the size of a wine glass to the size of a bowl, which look like rivets on armored vehicles.

He also found that this animal is a typical omnivore, they almost do not refuse to come, and eat everything. Just now, a few wolf-like creatures were driven away by this group of giant pigs, and the wolves left behind the carcass of a one-horned deer, which was eaten by the giant pigs in two bites. This animal is more exaggerated than locusts, not only does not a single grass grow, but even the ground will be arched into pits, which is really worthy of the name "three feet high".

This kind of thing that doesn't look like a good thing, Su Ze didn't dare to provoke it. He continued to operate the drone and flew forward.

..............................................................................

"Hey, this is ......" Suddenly, Su Ze saw a shocking picture on the monitor.

This is the picture that the drone has just sent back, and I saw that in a stone forest next to the grassland, a group of strange creatures with a number of about 30 suddenly appeared.

The average height of this group of creatures is more than 2.5 meters, and at first glance, it looks like a black bear head is attached to the neck of a big man, which is probably similar to the legendary black bear spirit.

These creatures are clearly sapient beings, all of them are dressed in clothes, and they also carry various items in their hands, and some of them wear various ornaments on their bodies.

The creatures appeared to be a band of warriors, each wearing armor, ranging from rough leather armor to more elaborate sheet metal armor. These warriors all carry a variety of weapons in their hands, mostly broadswords, spears, tomahawks, sledgehammers, and the like, but each is more than twice as large as that used by humans.

This was the first time he had seen the indigenous creatures here, and Su Xue couldn't help but be surprised. He looked at the animals carefully, and couldn't help but say to himself, "Is this kind of thing a bear man or a bear goblin?"

He has read a lot of online YY novels, whether it is Western Fantasy or Eastern Fantasy, this kind of bear-headed human body is not unusual, and there are even YY books where the protagonist crosses into a bear man.

PS: How can the "indigenous" work become "indigenous" when it is typed. How unreasonable!
