The eighth level, the alien lair.
It is almost completely contrary to the previous scene that combines black technology with a sense of machinery. This mountain cavity that exists on top of flowing magma has been completely eroded from the inside out by alien creatures.
There are no simple rock walls here anymore. Everywhere you can see is covered by pieces of flesh similar to those in "Song of Saya", or flesh and blood tissue like the Zerg carpet in "StarCraft". Everything you look at is wriggling muscle tissue.
Probably the temperature of the magma is very suitable for the incubation and growth of alien creatures, and those weird carpets are currently in a very active state.
In fact, for many players who have seen the eighth level for the first time, from the level scene shooting to the BGM melody to the monster design here, it all conveys an atmosphere like a "B-level horror movie".
After all, no matter how tough Konami is, it can't hide that the prototype design of the Kestrel Organization was based on the popular "Alien".
However, with the passage of time and the increase in the number of games played, Luke and his group of old ASS players have become too familiar with everything in the eighth level. In addition, the 8-bit computer screens at that time did have their own advantages in image display. The upper limit, no matter how much the muscle textures on the tramplable platforms in those scenes squirm, players whose threshold has been raised will choose to ignore it.
At the same time, all they can think about is how I can jump over this ditch, it’s my turn to take this S-gun, good brother, lend me a life, you fucking loser, don’t lend me your life casually, and so on.
However, when the 8-bit computer screen of the alien lair was displayed in front of Luke and others in its true appearance, Luke still could not Withstanding this most direct visual impact, the stomach began to contract abnormally.
...Or it may be that it was precisely because the corpses of many monsters had been "played with" and had a certain degree of resistance that Luke did not spray out at this time.
Comrade Luke's performance at this time can be said to be very unbearable, but will others be better than him?
the answer is negative.
Including the three-eyed warriors, one by one, they were all forced back by the high temperature inside, which was even more excessive than an oven. However, after just standing outside the door and looking in for a while, almost all of them appeared to varying degrees. Instinct physiological disgust, but some people show it, and some people choose to support it.
Being a hero for a long time does not mean that you have seen everything, and the meat blanket will drop SAN masters and vomiting pioneers in any scene, not to mention that it is also mixed with sulfur and some acidic substances. The strange smell, the rolling lava, and the harsh environment that made your throat feel like it was going to be burned with every breath touched everyone's sensitive nerves at any time.
The triple impact of sight, smell, and touch is simply fatal.
What's going on in this monster lair! ?
This question has popped up in the minds of almost all the braves. At least in the existing archives of the Seven Star City Brave Guild, they have not seen any records similar to the flesh and blood carpet scene in front of them.
This is no longer a scenario that low-level heroes can handle simply by relying on numbers.
Everyone's eyes were unanimously focused on Sanmu, hoping that this backbone could give better advice.
However, the alien lair obviously does not want to give humans a chance.
The alien leader, who is located in the deepest part of the lair, has already issued orders to all the sub-individuals who are at the end of the alien mind.
From the depths of the dark lair, large groups of flying creatures began to appear, swarming towards the open door of the hangar.
Before anyone else could see clearly what it was, the third eye had already flashed and shot a flying creature that bore the brunt of the attack.
But this behavior did not make its peers feel any fear, and its forward speed did not slow down at all.
When the magma below rolled again and increased the illumination range, everyone saw their true appearance.
They are composed of a kind of "ghost-headed beast" that has an almost adult body, a curly body like a shrimp, but a ferocious and weird head, and completely lacks any organs that a normal flying unit should have, and is slightly lower on the ecological chain. The first gear is about half a person tall, and its body is covered with spiked tentacles that explode outwards. At first glance, it looks like a weird white sea urchin, but it is also made of strange "poisonous insects" with the ability to fly.
These two low-level aliens are at the lowest end of the ecological chain, but this also means that they both have the typical Zerg unit characteristics of "fast production and high yield".
To use a more insect-like description, what Luke and his gang faced was a sea of flying insects.
And compared to those human soldiers who are just brainwashed, this kind of thing that completely deviates from human biological understanding is very difficult in every sense.
There was no malice, just the purest killing intent of a beast hunting its prey.
They have no will of their own, they are simply executing the orders passed down by the superior leadership unit, nothing more.
But at this moment, Sanmu issued the wisest order.
"Guiwa! Block the door! Hurry!!!"
Sanyan, whose third eye had already begun to flash, shouted loudly.
The named Guiwa just woke up from a dream. He rushed out with a carving knife in his hand, then turned over with one hand, and began to use Guiwa bricks at the only door that was broken by them, leading to the subsequent scene. raised the wall.
The ion ray exploded a poisonous insect that was trying to get into the gap in the wall, and Gui Wa seized the opportunity to completely block the last gap.
Listening to the constant banging sounds from the other end of the wall, the human side breathed a small sigh of relief.
For the first time in their lives, they felt that the ferocious devil's face on the brick looked so cute.
"How long can it last?"
Sanmu asked.
"...I still have 65 pieces of ghost tiles in stock, but I'm not sure how many times a single ghost tile can block their attacks."
At this time, when he was answering Sanmu Guiwa, he already felt a little regretful. He regretted that he had not grabbed more monsters on the way before. The stock of ghost tiles that could be transformed into a carving knife made him a little uneasy.
Sanmu frowned.
The strength of those weird creatures is indeed not high, but the tricky thing about them is that they can fly and there are so many of them.
This means that once they break through the defense line of their own heroes, the ordinary people will inevitably suffer a fatal blow.
Of course, judging from the terrain alone, they are currently at an advantage. As long as the area under their feet has not been closed for the time being, and the entrance and exit to the next area is only the one in front of them that has been blocked by ghost tiles and bricks, then they will It can force monsters to be squeezed into only one passage, reducing the number of intruders and allowing them to concentrate their efforts on dealing with them.
But in this case they will need to face serious problems.
If they keep retreating on defense and waiting for outside help, how long can they last? And will the core leaders accumulate monsters that they cannot handle?
But if Sanmu is allowed to behead someone by himself, then it involves the issue of the venue environment.
In dark terms, although Sanmu has a high level of Lv34, its own resistance is zero. It cannot resist the scorching damage caused by the environment for a long time, let alone be attacked by a large number of flying monsters.
Even if Sanmu is good at wiping bullets, there is a quantity limit, and the most terrifying thing about the sea of insects is its quantity.
As for terrain damage, most of the time it doesn't depend on the level.
Even if you are a real Soul Douluo, you will still die if you fall into a ditch, and you still have to borrow your life from your doubles partner, or forcefully borrow your life to cause an offline real doubles match.
Judging from the atmosphere conveyed by the nest and the number of monsters, 99% of the time this place is the final core of the entire monster nest. In other words, once this place is solved, the rescue operation should be over.
Sanmu himself is more inclined to be radical. He is not afraid of death, but is afraid of dying without value.
If he failed halfway due to high temperature intolerance, he would not only lose his life but also risk the safety of others. This was the main reason why he was undecided to directly carry out a solo beheading operation.
"While Gui Wa can still block it, let's share our thoughts."
The third eye that summoned all the heroes maintained a calm expression, but for some reason, his third eye was tilting towards Luke uncontrollably.
He always felt that this kid might be able to do something.
"Hey! Can your shooting mechanical eyeball work? Just like the laser trap before."
The hot black girl noticed the one-flamed eye held by Luke and asked quickly.
"...It probably won't work. The flying speed is too slow. I used to take advantage of the fact that there were no flying units on the opposite side, so I was able to take advantage of it. But now it probably won't work. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Luke shook his head slightly as he spoke and put the Du Yanyan into the black hot girl's hand.
But then, as if by magic, he took out an apprentice's staff from behind his buttocks, causing many people present to look stunned with different expressions.
He didn't intend to hide the fact that he still had a certain amount of reserve ability... although Sanmu and the others had already noticed it.
"This monster prop comes with aura skills that can resist high temperatures. Boss, please try to see if you can use it."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and Sanmu solemnly took the scepter and began to examine it.
But his eyes lit up at first, and then quickly dimmed.
"No, this flame-resisting aura is limited to the abilities of priests. Is there anyone with relevant abilities?"
He scanned the crowd with three eyes.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads. There was no cleric present, and the jumping knight who was most like a paladin had an ability called "Jumping King" instead of a paladin.
But the three-eyed answer made Luke stunned for a moment, and then he realized it. It seemed that the situation without professional restrictions only happened to him. In the eyes of others, the skills attached to this scepter still have the description "Paladin only" .
"Can you use it?"
Sanmu asked, noticing Luke's expression.
After a brief silence Luke nodded.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all came together to check the properties of resisting flame aura.
But then Sanmu did not ask Luke if he was willing to take risks together, but immediately began to think about the carrying capacity of his red condor.
It can barely fly with two people, but the problem is that if the flying speed is not fast, it will only become a target for the enemy.
It's okay to take risks, but there's no need to risk death directly.
However, after a brief silence, Luke spoke first.
"Boss, can you transform the Leaper's car into a vehicle for two people... no, three people to ride at the same time, while still retaining the appearance of high speed and strong off-road performance?"
