Cheren County and Nimophis are in a stalemate. Although the two sides have not yet decided the winner, Cheren County has already understood that he has lost a bit. The difference lies in the opponent's ability to use second-level items to deal with his third-level items easily.
"You don't seem to be worried about your subordinates at all." Cheron County took a few steps back and took the initiative to give up his distance advantage.
"Oh? That's not necessary. After all, the mercenary's survival is his own business, and I am not a parent." Nimophis did not pursue him, and slightly raised his chin to look at Cheron County, "If you are not as skilled as others, If you die, at most we will help you get revenge if we have the chance in the future. I wonder if this kind of education is also popular among your nobles?"
"It's amazing to have someone like you among the mercenaries."
"snort."
Nimophis raised his hand and fired a crossbow. Cheron County raised his eyebrows slightly, jumped the crossbow with his sword, and pulled the invisibility cloak to cover his whereabouts.
"It's true that I can't defeat you in a head-to-head duel, but I don't need to."
"You didn't do this from the beginning precisely because of the constraints of noble pride."
Seeing Cheron County disappear, Nimophis immediately knew what he was going to do. He put his thumb and index finger in his mouth and blew a loud whistle. In an instant, Hofinger, Dougray and others immediately gave up on the opponents in front of them, broke away from the fight and rushed back to Nimophis.
"Chief! We can win!" Dougray shouted, "Just two more minutes!"
"It's a pity that I can't give you two minutes, let alone ensure victory this time. Those who ambush us are not ordinary people." Nimophis narrowed his eyes and watched the movement around him, "Now we should temporarily withdraw..."
At this moment, Samiana and Naim caught up, Lu Ning and Chadli opened the door, and everyone present suddenly heard a voice.
[Trap No. 4 is triggered, repeat, Trap No. 4 is triggered. The crisis "Rust" has been triggered, and the normal countdown will not stop during the crisis. Please pay attention to eliminate it as soon as possible! 】
Lu Ning's first reaction was to check the interface of the instrument.
【Trap No. 4: Rust
Boss: Chainsaw, Wheel Cutter, Rivet
Servant: Logging Machine (0/15)]
This thing can indeed jump in line, but who is it...
The surrounding walls began to lose their original cold metallic color, and instead showed mottled rust marks. The mixed colors seemed to coat the whole world with a layer of camouflage, but it was very uncomfortable for the eyes. These rust spots did not cover the wall, but spread out piece by piece. Lu Ning realized something the moment he noticed that the rust spots stopped spreading, and immediately dragged Chadley away from the door that he had just come out of, which was already covered with rust marks. .
The harsh sound of sawing came from behind, and a dark "chimney" appeared behind him at some point. If Lu Ning had reacted any slower, the rusty saw teeth would have cut her and Chadli off.
There are three such "chimneys" throughout the courtyard. They have the same chassis as a flying saucer. The black column of the upper cylinder is about one and a half meters high. Eight mechanical arms pop up around it, which respectively control electric saws, axes, machetes, nail guns, hammers, flamethrowers, rope guns and Serrated disc.
"What the hell is this!" Hofinger's roar came from afar.
"Use your brain! These are obviously obsolete tools!" Dougray shouted loudly.
Samuanna had also arrived next to Lu Ning. At the same time, Cheron County took off the hat of the invisibility cloak not far ahead and shouted sternly: "Stay away from that thing!"
"Cheron County, I think we can..."
"No! The danger of that thing is completely unknown! Chadley! Light the candles!"
"Cheron County! Our strength has been greatly improved. It's a pile of scrap metal..." Naim also ran over, holding the ghost head sword, obviously wanting to test the strength of this machine.
"That's courting death! You never know what Rawls will put in this-"
Before Cheron County finished speaking, black smoke came out from the top of the "chimney", and the entire machine began to shake violently, and then in an instant, it accelerated towards Lu Ning and Chadli, who were closest to him!
"Go aside."
Lu Ning kicked Chadley to the side, who was hurriedly lighting candles, and then stretched out his hand to release the table that had been put away to block the attack of the logging machinery. Of course, the poor table didn't have much effect. It was instantly cut into pieces by the pile of metal weapons. However, Lu Ning also took advantage of the time when the weapons cut open the table to avoid the head-on collision.
"It seems you are in some trouble?" Nimophis's slightly raised voice came from the other side. They also happened to encounter a logging machine and were also involved in a hard fight.
"You're not much better." Cheron County replied calmly, dodging a nail that shot at him, "Maybe we won't need to take action."
"I have a good idea to deal with these three iron guys, do you want to hear it?" Nimophis suggested.
"If you want to use a portable waist bag to store these things, I suggest you first consider whether the limbs will be missing." Lu Ning said angrily, "It's hard to say whether the volume of this thing exceeds one cubic meter."
"Lu! Lu!"
Maoyou yelled and ran back from the other side. Behind him was a third logging machine. Miraculously, this guy was not injured. He just rolled around in the snow to avoid the nails that were fired from time to time. Ping Na Walking out from the back of the house, Mao You's face froze when she saw her. She had suffered several injuries. Now was the time when she was most resentful.
But Naim was the most excited at the moment. While Cheron County was dealing with the logging machinery, he turned around and rushed towards Mao You.
"Let me meet this guy—eh?"
As soon as he started running, the logging machine immediately stretched out its mechanical arm holding the rope gun and hit him with a chain with two iron balls tied to it.
Naim crouched down to avoid the chain, and his sprint stopped. The target of the logging machinery shifted back to Mao You again, and he continued to pursue him while wielding the weapons.
"This action logic..."
Lu Ning had already arrived next to Ping Na. There were people handling the three logging machines at this time, and she was able to carefully observe the actions of each machine. After all, mechanical things have no intelligence, and if these are really tools, the behavioral logic will not be very complicated.
For example, it would give priority to Cheron County to attack after Lu Ning got out of the way. Another example was that while blocking Naim, its target was always locked on Mao You.
"It's not distance, it's not strength. They have their own criteria...etc."
Lu Ning looked at Nimophis' team.
The main target of the robot was Hofinger, but Nimophis, the most threatening one, was not targeted specifically. Hofinger should not hold items of a higher level than Nemophis, so the level and quantity of the items are also not the criteria for judgment.
Then the standard is...
Lu Ning began to count her heartbeat silently, waiting for it to gradually return to calm.
Prioritize attacks on people who are engaging in strenuous activities.
Maoyou kept running fast after seeing the logging machinery. Hofinger was the one who fought the most fiercely among the mercenary members, while Cheron County kept relying on the invisibility cloak to change positions during the battle with Nimophis. The same Vigorous physical activity.
"We have to calm down." Lu Ning said to Ping Na, "The first attack sequence of the robot is those who have gone through strenuous exercise or are exercising strenuously. Although it is not clear what the basis for the judgment is, this is the only commonality. .”
"Yes, but we also..."
"Everyone has experienced battle, but to different degrees. Aunt Pingna, now you just need to calm down. Mao You is not someone you can rely on in a battle. I think you should have understood this a long time ago." Lu Ning said, "Now is the crisis."
"I understand." Ping Na nodded slowly, but it was not clear whether she really understood.
The rusty saw blades left scars on the floor and walls. With the attack of logging machinery, rust marks continued to appear on the surrounding walls. The trap's attack was more targeted than a normal crisis. It was specifically placed in these places where there were people. Fortunately, the three bosses were not thrown here.
"Using a portable belt bag to contain it directly is indeed a way, but..." Lu Ning glanced at Nimophis. The person who made this suggestion had not actually done it yet. He obviously had the same concerns as himself.
At this time, she felt that her heartbeat and physical condition were almost back to normal, and she took out the monster box.
She has already used three quotas, but there is no need to be stingy in order to deal with the current crisis.
"Lu! Help!"
Naim was unable to get close due to various interferences over there. Mao You finally got a bullet in his leg and rolled around with his face covered in snow until he reached Lu Ning's vicinity.
"It depends on your luck." Lu Ning glanced at Mao You, took a deep breath, raised his hand and shot an arrow. The logging machine raised its ax to block the arrow, and then twisted the nozzle of the flamethrower. Arrived in this direction.
"Everyone dodge."
Lu Ning ran towards the house at the end of the courtyard. Mao You rolled in the snow, and the pillar of fire passed over his head, burning a black mark on the rusted metal wall. Lu Ning's running was still not enough to attract the judgment of the logging machinery. Mao You yelled and threw himself into the door. The rusty door fell, blocking the two nails.
His sense of survival and luck were both astonishingly good. After the gate separated the two sides, the logging machinery immediately stopped where it was, and then slowly turned in the direction that Lu Ning was running. All this was naturally seen by Lu Ning. She did not stop, but continued to run away. The machine finally locked Lu Ning between Lu Ning and Che Lun County. Black smoke spurted out, and she chased after her with her weapon. Come up.
================
Compared with the effort of people like Lu Ning, it was much easier for those who triggered the trap.
In the corridor of the Summer Garden, Rosa threw aside a piece of scrap metal stuck on the warhammer. At her feet was a pile of smashed pieces. The chimney-like main body of the logging machine had become The strange geometry and flying saucer-shaped base completely turned into a pie. Not only this, but behind Rosa there is a logging machine with the same miserable shape.
She rubbed her belly, then took out a sandwich packed in a dining box from her coat pocket, took a bite, and asked the person in front of her: "Were you the one who triggered the trap?"
Opposite her, Helena smiled and nodded.
Kanzaki Takaya and Huo Zhaonan each held a shield and a heavy ax and carefully dealt with the last logging machinery. Mayuri still stood by and watched. Rosa looked at the strange cooperation of these people and took a second to make a decision. Don't think about what's wrong with this group of people.
"You don't look like a person stupid enough to trigger a trap, so you did it on purpose?"
"Exactly." Helena nodded, "I found a way to trigger it, so I wanted to try it. I didn't expect that the trap crisis was also of a global nature. There are too few of us here, and the leader monster did not appear here at all."
"Have you already embarked on the path of hunting the leader?"
"If you want to earn enough stars, you have to do this, right? The number of four-star missions is too small and you can only get them by chance. Even if one, two, and three-star missions are usually counted, the average number of stars that can be obtained between a crisis It's only between seven and eight stars. If you don't attack the leader, you have to survive at least four crises to accumulate thirty stars. Besides, it's impossible for us to buy props without spending money." Helena shrugged, "Of course, like It seems that a strong person like you can save a lot of money on purchasing props."
Not everyone can use a hammer to defeat two logging machines. Helena has dealt with one herself, so she naturally understands how troublesome this thing is. When Rosa appeared at the other end of the corridor, she held a hammer to face the two logging machines. When the logging machinery came out of the courtyard, she thought another person was about to splatter blood on the spot.
"There's no need for compliments. You have a lot of free time, and you even let your men train." Rosa bit her sandwich while looking for a topic, "But this sudden crisis may lead to some deaths."
"That can only be said to be their misfortune." Helena smiled.
Rosa narrowed her eyes. Her course of action was simple but that did not mean her thinking was simple. Helena really did not feel any guilt at all for the death of others. Although this could be regarded as an escape mentality for ordinary people, she could see that this was not the case. Not "escape".
She just didn't have a sense of responsibility for anything she did, not even the two "juniors" behind her who were thrown to deal with the logging machinery. Rosa could see that these two people had superb fighting skills. The problem was that the tools commonly used to deal with humans were not effective against machines, so they delayed for so long.
"Please make one point clear, that is, each of us wants to leave from here." Perhaps because Rosa had been silent for too long, Helena spoke again, "But there is a limit on the number, and it is impossible for all of us to escape. Do it. We will use our own methods to reduce resistance, because we don’t think we can survive the more and more demanding crises behind us. Even if I hate this word, it fits here very well-the weak will be eliminated.”
"Yes." Rosa sighed, "The weak will be eliminated."
