Chapter 21 Decoy(1/2)
"How many scale snakes?" Scarface asked.
The butcher paused and said:
"I only saw one, and it should have been injured. I saw it was hit by the 'Death Harvest'."
Without waiting for others to take their breath, the butcher continued:
"However, scaled snakes rarely appear alone. Usually, a female and a male gather together. Since there is a scaled snake inside, it is very likely that there is another one hidden deep in the mine."
"In other words, during this trip, we will have to face at least a group of bloodthirsty black-toothed rats, two scaly snakes, and a shadow lizard?"
Scarface's eyes were solemn. He originally thought there was only a shadow lizard and a group of black-toothed rats inside, but he didn't expect dangerous species like scale snakes to appear.
"These are just known dangers." Viper sighed and said: "Faced with these known dangers, we can still take precautions in advance. What I am more worried about are the dangers that have not yet been exposed. When we discover them, perhaps
It's too late."
"Xu Kui has made it clear that he treats us as cannon fodder. Only by joining forces can we have a chance of survival. If you don't mind, you can talk about your abilities and look after each other when we enter the mine."
Several people looked at each other and fell into a brief silence. Extraordinary abilities are the most important trump card of every wilderness hunter, so lone wilderness hunters generally do not deliberately inquire about other people's abilities, because this is a kind of provocation, and they will also not
Revealing one's abilities to others is the Achilles' heel of telling others about oneself.
"My ability is to strengthen defense. You should all have heard of it." Qi Yuan was the first to break the silence and patted the weapon on his waist.
"The Flying Eagle-Type 2 revolver has no problem with black-toothed rats, but it is very difficult to deal with scale snakes!"
Viper glanced at Qi Yuan and said hesitantly: "My ability is speed enhancement, and my weapon is a dagger."
"Both of you have enhanced abilities in the combat domain, and your abilities are much stronger than mine."
Scarface stretched out his right hand with some envy, and a small yellow snake slithered between his fingers.
"Mud Override!"
The viper's eyes lit up. The little yellow snake swimming in Scarface's hand was not a living thing at all, but a flexible piece of soil.
"This ability is very good in the mine, at least it is not weaker than the first-level ability in the combat domain." Butcher commented.
"I have two first-level abilities, namely first-level aiming and first-level dynamic vision. The weapon is this "Butcher" produced by Steel Gate.
The Butcher patted the gun on his waist and said, "My nickname 'The Butcher' comes from this gun."
Hearing this, Qi Yuan's eyes moved slightly: "This 'Butcher' is also a mechanical weapon?"
Compared with ordinary firearms, the power of mechanical weapons has completely exceeded the production technology of the old era, and its destructive power is even more powerful. In the battle between humans and insects and polluters, mechanical weapons play a very important role.
role.
"That's right." The Butcher didn't hide anything and said: "Although my 'Butcher' is not as good as the 'Skull Crusher' in Situ's hand, it is more powerful than ordinary firearms. It can at least defeat the scaled snake. If the scaled snake
Attack us, as long as you can block the scale snake for three seconds, I will be sure to repel it!"
"I'll try my best." Qi Yuan smiled bitterly, "With the scale snake's huge size, the effect of strengthening the defense is probably very limited."
"Only you can block the attack of the Scaled Snake." Viper said seriously, "If we are attacked by the Scaled Snake, we may be killed instantly."
The light in the mine is dim, and the terrain is very complex. You may encounter a surprise attack from the scale snake at any time. With the huge size of the scale snake, launching a sneak attack is completely overwhelming in terms of strength and quality.
The four continued to communicate for a while, and Luo Kui suddenly shouted loudly: "The time is up, get ready to go, all wilderness hunters at the front!"
Forced by gunpoint, a group of wilderness hunters slowly stood up and walked towards the direction of the mine.
Xu Kui pointed at a soldier and said: "You stay and be careful to guard against enemy sneak attacks!"
"Yes!" the soldier responded loudly.
"You stay too."
Xu Kui pointed at another soldier and said.
"You guard this heavy machine gun. Whoever dares to leave the mine before I leave, shoot me and kill him on the spot!"
"yes!"
The Revenant Hunter was silent. After several people planned to go in, the Revenant Hunter who sneaked away had to give up the idea of escape. Under this terrain, the firepower of the heavy machine gun was enough to completely block the exit of the mine. Anyone who dared to come forward would die.
Black Scorpion finally climbed out of the truck. It waved its pliers and walked behind Xu Kui. The You who stayed with Black Scorpion actually mixed with Xu Kui's direct descendants and walked behind Black Scorpion.
The four of them walked in the center of the crowd, neither too far forward nor too far behind. The weakest wilderness hunters were forced to the front and stepped into the mine with despair on their faces.
Behind the Revenant Hunter is Lu Han holding two guns, and behind him are more than a dozen of Xu Kui's fully armed direct lineage warriors. Behind these warriors are Xu Kui and Luo Kui, and the strange woman named You is walking with Black Scorpion.
The back of the line.
Before entering the mine, everyone held weapons in their hands. Except for a few cold weapons, most of them held firearms.
Xu Kui unexpectedly did not carry any weapons, while Luo Kui, in addition to the two sabers on his back, put a sniper rifle called the "Death Harvest" by the butcher on his shoulders and brought them down together.
Qi Yuan also held the flying eagle in his hand. Although his marksmanship was not accurate, he could still shoot close to him. Even the scaly snake that made other wilderness hunters change their tempers, as long as he got close, he was sure to kill it with one shot.
The rock-armored lizards were all killed by one shot. No matter how strong the scale snake's defense was, it would not be stronger than the rock-armored lizards.
The moment he stepped into the mine, the strong smell of blood hit his face. The entire entrance to the mine was covered with a layer of greasy blood, and there were also minced meat on the ground, making the team's atmosphere even more solemn.
The entrance to the mine is not small and can accommodate two people walking side by side. However, because it has been abandoned for a long time, the miner's lamp inside has been damaged, and there is no light source in the mine.
Just after crossing the blood on the ground, beams of lights came from behind. Xu Kui and others walking behind the team each held a tactical flashlight, dispersing the darkness in the mine.
With the light of the flashlight, you can clearly see the blood spattered on the ground, spreading all the way to the depths of the mine.
Perhaps the previous shot frightened the insect beasts in the mine, or perhaps the Black Scorpion's unbridled aura of second-level insect beasts was too powerful. The clearance team advanced several hundred meters along the main mine.
, when we reached the maze-like intersection, we were not attacked by insect beasts, not even the black-toothed rat.
However, no one dared to relax. The scene of insects and beasts snatching food at the entrance of the cave still remained in everyone's memory.
Everyone knows that this kind of calm will not last long. The more powerful the territorial awareness of the insect beast, the stronger. The black-toothed rat may be afraid of the power of the black scorpion and be forced to give in, but the scale snake and the shadow lizard will not, and this
Since this trip is to clear out the mines, we will definitely have a head-on battle with them.
The team was not advancing very fast, and Xu Kui and others did not rush them, but were cautious all the way.
At a corner, a black figure came into view and was locked by the beam.
The wilderness hunter walking at the front trembled all over, and the rifle he held tightly in his hand almost misfired. It wasn't until he walked in that he discovered that it was a black-toothed rat lying on the ground. His heart had stopped beating and he was no longer alive.
A black-toothed rat with a strong body and no injuries died silently in the mine, adding a bit of weirdness to the dark mine.
"Don't stop, keep going."
Lu Han scolded, and the clearance team continued to move forward.
When the viper passed by the body of the black-toothed rat, it kicked the body casually, glanced at the teeth of the black-toothed rat, and whispered: "This black-toothed rat was poisoned to death. The black-toothed rat that was fed just now
The corpse was injected with poison, which should be the scorpion venom of the black scorpion!"
Everyone was awestruck. What could poison the black-toothed rat was obviously the flesh and blood they had just fed. The insect beasts of the new era are naturally resistant to toxins. This is especially true for insect beasts like the black-toothed rat, which have a wide range of diets. Ordinary toxins are harmful to them.
It would have no effect, but feeding the poison hidden in the flesh and blood caused the black-toothed rat to die violently in just a few minutes. The intensity of this poison was frightening.
If it is really the scorpion venom of the black scorpion, it means that as long as they are contaminated with a little scorpion venom, they will end up like this black-toothed rat that died suddenly.
The poison of the black scorpion is a bit too powerful, Qi Yuan thought silently!
The first-level steel defense should be a little reluctant to resist the scorpion tail piercing of the second-level black scorpion. If Xu Kui is killed, will the black scorpion he enslaved die suddenly?
Soon, the team found more black-toothed rat corpses deep in the mine, scattered one by one throughout the mine. They were obviously the black-toothed rats that had just been grabbing food at the entrance of the cave.
rustle!
Suddenly there was a strange sound of rubble rubbing together in the mine, and the butcher's face changed and he shouted: "Be careful, a black-toothed rat is approaching!"
Before he finished speaking, the feet of the wilderness hunter who was walking in the front suddenly collapsed, and a hole with a diameter of half a meter appeared out of thin air. The wilderness hunter lost his balance and instantly fell into the cave.
Squeak!
The bloodthirsty scream of the black-toothed rat came from the cave!
"Help! The black-toothed rat has bitten my right foot! Please help me!"
The wilderness hunter who was trapped in the cave cried out for help in panic. He clung to the edge of the cave with both hands to avoid being dragged into the cave by the black-toothed rat.
The surrounding wilderness hunters reacted quickly, but no one took action to catch the sinking hunter. At the same time, they turned their guns to the darkness below the mine and fired.
Bang bang! Bang bang!
The dull sound of gunfire echoed in the mine, but it did not stop the black-toothed rat from dragging madly.
The wilderness hunter whose right foot was bitten could only hold on for less than three seconds. The edge of the cave where his fingers were clasped suddenly collapsed, and the whole person was soon dragged into the hole and disappeared.
The wilderness hunters around the cave seemed a little shocked when they looked at the dark cave. A large living person was forcibly dragged away by the black-toothed rat in front of so many people!
"Keep going!" Lu Han urged coldly.
Qi Yuan's heart was awe-inspiring. The death of a wilderness hunter was not even a splash here. If he was in danger, it might be the same. No one would take the risk to help others, not the wilderness hunters. Xu Kui and others were even more
Won't.
Now that the black-toothed rat has overcome its fear of the black scorpion and has taken the initiative to attack, there will definitely be more attacks from the black-toothed rat in the future.
Moreover, there are scale snakes and shadow lizards. Once these wilderness hunters at the front are all killed, I will definitely be forced to be at the front.
You have to find a way to break away from the team, otherwise once you encounter a shadow lizard, you may really become the opponent's food!
