Lu Ning finally got separated.
After being blown away by the artillery fire, the monsters began to run around. A team of thirty people was easily dispersed. Lu Ning was left with only Xuan Zhitong, who had been following him, Jiang Nuo and another person from the shelter.
The four people ran and fought, and soon got into a forest. It's just that the woods in winter are covered with snow, and the leaves have long fallen off, so there is no protection at all.
"What are we doing here!"
The man who followed him from the shelter couldn't help shouting.
"This place is getting further and further away from the shelter! Where are we going? Are we going the wrong way?"
"That's right, it's only safe here."
Lu Ning listened for a moment, then suddenly fired a shot into the air, and a dent immediately appeared on the snow.
Warcraft "ghost".
"The trees here are short enough, and the ghosts are floating. We can't see them coming from the snow, and we can only judge by the sound of them scraping against the branches. If we go elsewhere, unless it is a wilderness with grass, but then There's a war going on."
With that said, Lu Ning fired two shots into the dented chest area on the ground, broke off a branch and threw it over. When she saw that the branch stopped in mid-air, she confirmed that the ghost was dead.
"The weak point is the chest. It takes one shot to break the protection and one shot to kill. Remember that."
"Then, how do we go back?" The man couldn't help but ask again.
"Kill them all and we can go back."
Just as the man was about to say something, a strange fragrance suddenly floated in the air.
"Eh?"
Lu Ning and the other three who had already moved forward did not notice the scent, or in other words, the scent did not reach them at all.
He stretched out his hand, trying to make some noise, but his world fell into dead silence.
Then, plunged into darkness.
Two or three minutes later, when Lu Ning found a place with dense branches and was about to squat here, she realized that someone was missing.
"Xuan Zhitong, Jiang Nuo, did you see where that person went just now?"
========
Chu Jianting and Liao Yimeng were running wildly on the hill.
Stones the size of millstones were smashed behind them, and the evil claws in the form of beasts were chasing after them, lifting up the stones from time to time to attack. It was seven or eight meters tall, about the same size as an impact elephant, and could jump out in one leap. The distance of more than twenty meters was due to its heavy body, otherwise it would have caught up with the two people long ago.
"What kind of trial is this? Are there any such things?"
Liao Yimeng felt that he was about to die. Although he had long thought that Lu Wenshuo and Yun Mengyao were secretly plotting to mess with someone, how could they leave someone alone in front of the evil claws?
"Brother Lu said this is a monster we can deal with..."
"Can you deal with it? Are you going to deal with it? Your kid is also practicing martial arts and doesn't have this basic sense of discernment? Is this a monster that a flesh and blood body can handle?"
boom!
A stone that was slightly different from the previous one fell to the side and split into pieces in an instant. Red magma spurted out from the stone. In desperation, Liao Yimeng rolled down the mountain and narrowly avoided it.
"Are you okay?"
Chu Jianting hurriedly jumped down to pull the person away.
"It can [inject fire]! Doesn't our code say that monsters with supernatural powers cannot be defeated?"
"Then let's outsmart it. Brother Lu didn't say that we have to kill it head-on. It can't be killed, right?"
"My brain is not working! You! Now! Just think of a way for me!"
"...I think it's better to run quickly, but it's chasing me again."
"Lu Wenshuo! If I don't die, I will go back and make you look good!"
Liao Yimeng, who was shouting here, didn't know that the person he was scolding was not far away.
Lu Wenshuo and Yun Zhiyao followed a pre-explored route and went around the back of the monster.
"Is it really safe to leave them there?"
"Two grown men, if they can't kill a monster with stiff mobility, slow movements and whose abilities are suppressed to the minimum by the weather, they will commit suicide."
Yun Zhiyao's mouth was as poisonous as ever.
"But hunting a monster like this..."
"My surname is Lu. My first hunt that year was to kill the four angels who pretended to be gods. The three people who participated in the hunt with me were all not aware enough to be killed. I was the only one who survived - or do you want to say Do you have more experience in hunting missions than me?"
"Of course you have the final say in the battle." Lu Wenshuo comforted Yun Zhiyao with a smile, "Are you really not going to deal with that bird this time? It is easier to deal with than a mantis, right?"
"Of course it's better to take revenge yourself. If you, the leader, give me something else, I'm afraid you'll die suddenly."
Lu Wenshuo couldn't help but touch his nose.
"Do I look so weak?"
"I think everyone within the first level is weak."
"That makes sense."
=========
Turn back to Lu Ning. When they discovered that the man was missing, everyone realized that there was a monster lurking nearby, but they didn't know if it was Evil Claw.
"Did you hear anything just now?"
"without."
"Didn't hear it."
Lu Ning calmed down and paid careful attention to his surroundings. In the silence, only a few sounds came from the battlefield, and it seemed that the attack on the giant snake's evil claws had begun.
"I don't remember that there is such a monster that quietly takes people away on the list of monsters Lin Qi showed."
Creatures like Warcraft either kill a person on the spot, or become parasitic and wait for internal growth. Stealing a person quietly like this is not on their action list at all.
"Could it be that he was eaten?" Jiang Nuo asked.
"No...then why haven't we been attacked yet? If it can take someone away quietly like this, it wouldn't be difficult to attack us directly, right?"
"Maybe it can only attack secretly? Maybe its body is very weak? Or it simply can't show up when people are paying attention?"
Lu Ning also wanted to be so optimistic.
"Even if you think about it on the bright side, it's just a possibility that [the monster's attacks are slow to launch]. It probably isn't prepared to come out suddenly at the risk of getting hurt."
This is actually even worse, because it shows that this monster at least has a very high combat IQ and has reached the level of humans, instead of relying on instinct to fight like other monsters, including some evil claws.
"Listen, what we need to pay attention to now is its ability and its location. We didn't notice it, but maybe this is the key - keep your eyes on your companions!"
Lu Ning took a step back, but stepped on something sticky under her feet. She lowered her head and found that her retreating foot had stepped on a pool of green mucus, and there was a black mark behind it, as if something had exploded.
When she was about to stretch out her hand to point it out, she found that her hand was covered with blood. When she looked again, she saw that the clothes on the back of her waist had been torn open about an inch long, and the wound inside had been gushed out. The blood and clothes were frozen together, and there was no pain at all.
"Lu Ning! Me, my legs -"
Jiang Nuo's body slumped to the left, and she was half-kneeling on the ground. A piece of flesh was torn off her left calf. The wound was of course frozen, but the injury here was not felt at all.
"Xuan Zitong! When were the bombs deployed? Or were they landmines?"
Lu Ning hurriedly turned to ask Xuan Zhitong, but the response was a confused look on Xuan Zhitong's face.
"Just now, I need cloth."
She also held a small trigger-type mine in her hand, but it was obviously not activated yet.
"It's your bomb! On your waist!"
Jiang Nuo shouted, and Lu Ning realized that there was one bomb missing from the belt he used to carry grenade bombs.
It was a fire bomb with concentrated power at close range. It was placed as close as possible to the hand. Even if one stood three meters away, it would not hurt him. This advantage made this bomb sufficient for emergencies, but Lu Ning didn't know when to use it. Lost.
At this moment, a strange fragrance penetrated her nostrils.
"Here it comes! It's the enemy——"
"Where is the enemy?"
Jiang Nuo immediately drew his gun and entered a state of alert, but found nothing.
"Lu Ning! Where is the enemy? Did you see it?"
"I got it……"
Jiang Nuo and Xuan Zhitong suddenly discovered that Lu Ning was sitting in the snow. An ice pick made of blood had been formed on her left arm. It had been completely cut off from the elbow down, and the front of her clothes and the elbow There was also a slit flush near the stomach, but fortunately there was no damage to the flesh.
"Don't let your guard down!"
Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Lu Ning hurriedly yelled.
"It can make us lose our memory! It has already appeared and attacked! It's just that we have forgotten the process of its attack! But we fought back! We have injured it! As you said, its defense power is not counted powerful!"
Lu Ning waved her right hand and threw out the two relatively fresh green branches she was holding tightly.
"If anything unusual happens, start attacking immediately! If you hear a sound, see an illusion, or——"
I smelled a strange fragrance.
"You noticed my ability after two attacks. You really reacted quickly enough."
A voice full of sweetness appeared above Lu Ning's head. She quickly raised her head, but found that she saw nothing.
"Do you realize that? Unfortunately, you will forget, and so will they. You won't remember anything that happened when you smelled the scent-"
A vine suddenly emerged from the dead tree behind Lu Ning, and then stabbed towards her vest with lightning speed!
"—even death!"
Click.
With a crisp sound, Lu Ning had turned around. The blood ice on his left elbow blocked the vines at the critical moment, and the ice was shattered by this blow.
"Tsk, almost."
The vines quickly retracted into the trees. Even the Molotov cocktail thrown by Lu Ning did not catch up with its speed and only ignited the dry trunks in the cold winter.
Then, the scent dissipated.
Lu Ning looked at the flames in front of her, and with a slight sway, she noticed the broken blood ice under her feet.
"How long has it been...?"
"Lu Ning! You were targeted and attacked by it! It will definitely appear again!" Jiang Nuo also saw it and attacked Lu Ning three times. This is definitely not a coincidence.
“Set fire—burn this forest down!”
Very quickly, Lu Ning understood the message that she, who had not yet lost her memory, wanted to convey.
