The underground space suspected of being an earth beast's lair was more than ten times larger than the cave they came down from.
The visual inspection shows that the depth is at least about 700 meters. The height is not yet clear, but it must be higher than the tunnel because the top is not visible inside.
And this underground space is filled with countless earth beasts.
At the same time, they also saw a brand new earth beast, its body covered with black horny spines, as if it was a black-armored earth beast wearing a layer of black armor.
At this moment, having rushed to the nest, the earth beast suddenly stopped attacking.
The commando team also became at a loss and didn't know what to do!
Those earth beasts covered with spikes and wrapped in black armor looked unattractive. They were looking at them with pairs of green eyes.
"They seem to be intelligent!" Gao Shan said in a low voice unconsciously, and the strange and depressing atmosphere condensed the air.
"Head, do you want to shoot?" Someone couldn't stand the depression and asked softly.
"Wait." Shangguan Ergou pressed his hand cautiously and took two steps forward to test something.
"Hiss~~" An earth beast standing on a raised stalagmite opened its mouth and roared. The previously quiet earth beast immediately became restless, rubbing its claws on the ground uneasily.
The body swayed slightly, the limbs were bent, and the body was slightly backward, ready to attack.
"Get ready!" Shangguan Ergou raised his hand.
Gao Shan discovered something different at this moment.
There are dark ancient murals carved on the walls of this underground space. The distance and the light problem make it difficult to see some of them clearly.
"Look over there." Gao Shan pointed to the most conspicuous mural.
Shangguan Ergou also saw the paintings that looked like children's graffiti, and nodded with flashing eyes, "First clean up the earth beasts here."
"How to clean it?" Gao Shan looked at him unexpectedly.
There are at least several thousand earth beasts in this space, as well as those black-armored earth beasts that are not easy to mess with.
Although I don't understand what they are waiting for, it is obvious that my side is at a disadvantage.
"You'll know later." Shangguan Ergou smiled. After moving his fingers back and forth several times, the two soldiers squatted down and opened a box.
The rpg was carried on the shoulder, and a white ammunition was loaded on it. Everyone retreated slowly at Shangguan Ergou's signal.
"Roar!" A decisive roar sounded, and the previously quiet underground space immediately became agitated. Countless earth beasts flew forward, as if they wanted to tear apart everything in front of them.
"Let's go." Shangguan Ergou said, turning around and running away. Gao Shan also ran back. The soldier carrying the RPG on his shoulder pulled the trigger and threw himself backwards.
Bang, swish...
A white fireball appeared in the underground space, and then the entire sight became dazzlingly bright, and countless miserable wails entered the ears.
After the fire, which was like a snowball exploding, disappeared, the entire air was filled with a pungent and faint smell of burning and corrosion, mixed with the rotten smell of meat.
"The improved white phosphorus bomb has finally come in handy." Shangguan Ergou came back and handed him a filter mask.
The new version of the white phosphorus bomb has improved toxicity, but it is still slightly toxic. In addition, this is not an open and ventilated area, so it is better to be careful.
"Although this thing is not very poisonous, it's better to be careful." Shangguan Ergou said, taking a few steps forward and standing at the entrance of the corridor, waiting.
The underground space has turned into a miserable purgatory.
All the earth beasts were covered with corrosive and burning holes, and a large number of earth beasts were struggling to get up.
Moving the limbs with force aggravates the damage caused by the white phosphorus. The claws that exert force are dissolved and severed from the hind limbs, and they can no longer move.
The piled corpses were taller than people, stacked there like a pyramid.
Gao Shan looked at this scene in shock. Although human beings are very weak individually, with the help of thermal weapons, they are worthy of being the most dangerous species.
"Wait a minute." Just when Shangguan Ergou was about to go in, Gao Shan suddenly pulled him and said with a change of expression: "Where are those black-armored earth beasts?"
The underground space was filled with corpses, and the wails of the earth beasts made a sad music, but among these corpses, only the corpses of a dozen black-armored earth beasts could be seen.
"Will he be pressed down?" Shangguan Ergou asked uncertainly.
"Wait and see!" Gao Shan shook his head, always feeling a little uneasy.
When he said this, Shangguan Ergou felt uneasy, so he turned to a soldier and said: "Blast it away."
The rpg was placed on the shoulders again, this time using high-explosive bombs. Everyone took a few steps back, as if the underground space collapsed due to the explosion.
call out……
The missiles flew, and the pile of corpses in front of them were thrown around by the impact of the explosion, and dust and smoke poured back into the corridor.
"Ahem!" He waved his hand to drive away the dust and smoke in front of him. Gao Shan suddenly noticed that there was a shadow in the dust and smoke that was getting thicker and faster.
"Careful!" He turned over and fell to the ground. A shadow suddenly passed over his head, and a scream followed.
"Ah~ my legs..."
"Fire, fire..."
"Li Meng, ah..."
He raised his head and looked back, and saw a soldier with his legs broken at the waist, lying on the ground. Large pools of blood and intestines were flowing all over the floor. It looked like he was hopeless.
Next to him was a round head with two big bull's eyes filled with unwillingness and relief.
As early as the moment they came down, they were ready to die!
A black-armored earth beast rushed into the team unscrupulously, and with a swipe of its claws, three people were dismembered. The tall body was like a fragile paper man, broken into pieces with a light touch.
"Get out of the way!" Shangguan Ergou shouted loudly, and kicked his right leg back from the ground. His figure rushed out like an arrow, and a white light suddenly appeared when he raised his hand.
Swish, ding!
The angry knife set off beautiful sparks on the black-armored earth beast, and the blade scratched the spikes on its back, sinking into the spikes inch by inch.
Keng, the spikes were cut off, and the power on the blade was exhausted. Shangguan also retreated back with the help of the counter-shock force on the blade.
roar……
Roaring sounded, and before the black-armored earth beasts in front were dealt with, groups of black-armored earth beasts rushed into the corridor from behind.
All the surviving black-armored earth beasts hid under the pile of corpses. Those ordinary earth beasts used their bodies to form a barrier to isolate the phosphorus fire, ensuring the safety of the superiors.
They indeed have their own group hierarchy!
"Be careful~~" The four sets of life-saving needles turned into deadly weapons, doing their best to protect the soldiers around them.
One, two, five, ten to more, more...
There were at least fifty black-armored earth beasts that rushed into the corridor, and each of them was dozens of times stronger than ordinary earth beasts.
The black armor on the surface can protect them, and the spikes on them allow them to cause terrible damage when moving.
It has claws that are as sharp as daggers, a bite force stronger than that of the crocodile, a keen sense of combat, and a terrifying fighting instinct.
These make them more difficult to deal with than ordinary earth beasts.
