"...What should I say?" Mo Lianren turned to look at his team members, "I will not give up and continue the investigation, but I really shouldn't force you to order you at this time. After all, you are not real soldiers."
"I am." Bai Hu replied immediately, "I have no choice to retreat."
Mo Lianren choked.
Lu Ning also spoke at this time: "I think I understand what Pang Xu means, but I have to find out what's going on. Similarly, you who are not soldiers don't need to follow him all the time. You can just go back to the camp to guard. OK."
"This is a difficult choice, captain." Spade grinned, "I want to live in peace of mind. Going in will undoubtedly keep me away from this goal. But on the other hand, if I don't know anything, I will be killed by the aftermath. , I feel quite a loss.”
"With all due respect...Captain, I hold the opposite opinion." Dragon Vein suddenly spoke, "It's not that we don't have other clues, and it's not the time to go into the valley. None of the evidence directly names what's inside. It is not what we want. We can temporarily retreat like the previous advance team and hand over the news to Team 1 for analysis. It is not wise to take such a risk now."
"You're right, that's why I gave you the choice, Dragon Vein." Lu Ning smiled, "Pang Xu is right about one thing, moving forward has now become a personal matter, and It’s not a team goal, so you don’t need to feel any mental burden for the choice.”
"In this case, please forgive me for resigning here." Longmai bowed slightly, "I know very well my professional field and limitations. If I continue to move forward, I will take unnecessary risks, and my skills cannot Make sure I get out safely and I won’t move on.”
If one of the dragon veins withdraws, there will be a second one. Then two people from Mo Lianren's team also walked out, and then there was the insect bait.
"I can't help you much, captain." Chongbai took out a box and handed it to Lu Ning, "I can use a gun and make poison...but I can't fight. If I continue to walk over, I can only be a drag. And Pang Xu I'm a little afraid of what I'm talking about. I can't convince others, but spider silk..."
"When you leave, I will be the only medic left here." Spider Silk said softly, "At least one person who can save people must be left behind."
"I, I understand." Chongbai clenched his fists and took a step back, "Everyone, take care!"
As a result, the team lost four people.
People who are going back don't need to worry. Since they can come here safely, they can return safely. Those who stayed behind were ready and continued to move forward.
"pause!"
After an unknown period of quiet marching, the bluebird on guard flank suddenly sounded a warning sound and quickly climbed up a rock.
"Blue Bird, report anything you find immediately!" Lu Ning shouted.
"I saw it! That guy..."
Qingniao quickly took a photo and then sent the picture back. Everyone immediately saw a scene on a cliff - two fire pillars connected in the air to form a gate, and several phantom beasts were walking under the fire pillars.
The two at the door are the most obvious, one is tall and thin, with a burning flame like a mane on its back, extending to the triangular head, with six sickle legs spread out on its body, ferocious and sharp. The other one is petite, standing on a rock, with a pair of flipper-like hands, the left half of its body is burning with black fire, and the right half of its body is burning with white fire.
Although the appearance is very different, their most distinctive features have been retained. Qingniao saw these two phantom beasts immediately.
"Captain, are they the gatekeepers and openers?" Recorder was a little surprised, "It seems to have been affected by the terrain. These are probably not the two we expelled."
"The distance is too far and difficult to estimate." Bai Hu adjusted the detection direction of the helmet, "The surrounding monsters are in our data, C-level biological lava throwers."
"Two B, three C, this is the combat power reflected in the picture." Mo Lianren muttered, "Now that we are here, we are mentally prepared to fight. But dealing with two B-level creatures at the same time is troublesome enough. No matter what, we have to deal with C-level creatures. Those throwing hands are good at absorbing geothermal heat and rocks, and then bombarding them in the state of lava. A direct hit from the equipment we carry will almost kill us."
"It's okay, let's start the installation." Lu Ning waved her hand, and Spades, Bayonet, Kong Gu, Clarinet and others took out some metal brackets from their backpacks and began to erect simple triangular supports on the ground. It only took less than ten seconds for these brackets to be completed. Immediately after, everyone took out a can-sized metal bucket from the side carry bag, installed it on the bracket, and then pressed the button, and a stick protruded from the bucket. The spikes sank into the ground.
Since tundra condensate can be used in a grenade style and is exactly the opposite of a volcano, Lu Ning made some simple injection devices. They cannot be regulated and guided like complete machines. The only thing they can do is to inject all the condensation into the ground.
The effect was obvious. White mist began to appear in the sky. It was caused by the drastic temperature difference. The water in the ground gradually precipitated due to freezing, and was turned into steam by the surrounding heat. Soon, everything around was covered by the blazing heat. It was covered by water vapor, but as condensation continued to pour in, cold gradually began to take hold of this area.
Environmentally modified weapons can of course be forcibly reversed in any environment. If Lu Ning really builds a tundra injector here, the place will be frozen in a month at most. Now, the effect is also significant. The cold on the ground has begun to extend towards the cliff. A crisp sound of water droplets fell on Lu Ning's helmet. The cold, water vapor, and volcanic ash have formed the conditions for rainfall, forming a formation at low altitude. Rain clouds.
"If there is no heat on the ground to absorb, their proud attack method will not be effective. We are not afraid of simple rock attacks." Lu Ning raised his head and observed the situation on the cliff through the detector. The minds of the phantom beasts could not understand what was happening here. They only felt that the surrounding environment was no longer warm and comfortable, and their line of sight was also blocked.
This is not enough to make them alert and guard the fire door. The two B-class "bosses" are behind them. They have not encountered any danger in the valley for a long time. Even the lava giant outside is no match.
The first throwing hand didn't notice the crisis until someone touched his back. The speed of the white fox was extremely fast, as if her assassination skills had been refined over thousands of times, she instantly jumped onto the back of the fantasy beast. A white dagger like a dagger sank directly from the top of her head, and then she landed on the ground while holding her neck in a half circle. The head of the phantom beast was also cut open silently.
"One." She counted silently and rushed to the next place shown by the detection.
"Assassination - you have no skills or weapons."
A minute ago, Bai Hu said this.
"Silently approach, kill with one blow, and then use the same method to kill the next one. I'm not looking down on you, but none of you have this ability, not even the captain."
This is a fact. The army also teaches silent marching and concealed assassination. If the opponent is a human, many people here can actually do it, especially regular soldiers. But if your opponent switches to this kind of fantasy beast, you can only weigh it.
"Are you going alone?" Mo Lianren asked.
"It's just killing the outside throwers, there's no danger." White Fox knocked on his waist, "We only have one ranger dagger, and it must be this to ensure a quiet one-hit kill. Others will inevitably cause some noise. "
"The B-level phantom beasts are likely to monitor the living conditions of their men, so you have to be careful." Lu Ning said, "On the one hand, the sentry is the first line of warning, but it may also be a bait."
"Then it's even more important to kill them."
So the white fox quietly climbed up the cliff. Short-distance climbing is actually less difficult in places with rugged terrain. The white fox can go around it very quickly and kill the thrower even faster.
"All three have been dealt with, and no Class B has been alarmed so far."
A voice came from the communicator, and Bai Hu had completed the first step of his mission.
Mo Lianren nodded: "Okay, you leave the cliff, and we will lure the two down from below and fight..."
"But there's more than just throwing hands on it." White Fox interrupted Mo Lianren, "There are two lizards lying behind!"
In an instant, everyone heard the roar of the beast on the cliff. The strong wind swept by the blade stirred up the white mist, showing a clearly visible trajectory. The B-class fantasy beast "Gatekeeper" instantly launched an attack, and Lu Ning's side It's not even clear what's going on up there.
"shooting."
The grenade was thrown up the cliff in an arc, and the powerful cold exploded above it. The blade also cut through the cold, but in the end it was stuck on a large area of ice and began to lose its flexibility. At the same time, the white fox spoke again in the communication: "Two lizards, the size of a crocodile, have the ability to sense, and should be at level C."
"They are the hatchings of primitive eggs." Yang Hao said, "They have a very strong ability to adapt to the environment and increase the environment. Even if the environment changes, they can quickly mutate into suitable organs. Their genetic composition is extremely unstable. .Be careful!”
A sheet of fire bombs fell from the cliff like a torrential rain. The "opener" with black and white flames picked it up from the rock, and the fire in his hands extended into the shape of two machine cannons.
"Modern enough..." Spade muttered.
"There must have been battles in the valley when the advance team came. They retained the memories of the battles at that time." Spider Silk reminded, "Be careful, everyone, the methods we are using now may be -"
Boom, boom.
Two rounds of solid fire were sprayed out from the hand cannon of the person who opened the door. The state was exactly the same as the grenade that had just been launched. The recorder instantly raised his gun and blew up the two rounds of flames in the air. The violent explosion and storm even made everyone stunned. Don’t hide behind a rock. What's even more frightening is that the degree of freezing of the ground around the location of the flame air blast has been greatly weakened.
"Not only the surface, but also the core can be imitated?" Yang Hao's voice was filled with mixed emotions of joy and fear, "Being able to simulate the environment and transform the characteristics of the weapon in such a short time is worthy of being a B-level, no, such an evolutionary ability …”
"Now is not the time to praise the enemy!" Kong Gu shouted loudly, "Blue Bird! Heavy sniper mode!"
"Adjustment completed."
Before he finished speaking, a trajectory visible to the naked eye appeared in the fog. The naked eye could not even capture the speed of the bullet. When the ring-shaped sonic boom cloud spread in the air, the roaring sound of the bullet reached the detector.
The person who opened the door leaned back, and a large amount of flames spurted out from its head. It fell down, and the heavy armored sniper bullet simply penetrated its head. The blue bird opened the magazine with her backhand, and a puff of green smoke dispersed. She immediately The second round was filled in.
"Not dead, everyone, be careful!"
She didn't need to remind her too much. Everyone knew that a heavy sniper shot would break even a tank with thin armor into pieces. However, the person who opened the door only had flames spurting out from his head and nothing happened to him.
But that's out of the question now, because the gatekeeper has already jumped off the cliff with a sharp blade.
This one does not have the ability to change speed without loss, it is just fast, and it quickly becomes a bright line of fire. Mo Lianren gave a soft drink, and all the members of her team unfolded their weapons. The demolition hand raised two large shields in front of him, and pressed hard. The shield pierced directly into the ground, and the shield in the gatekeeper's hand. The blades collided violently!
Lu Ning even heard the sound of metal cracking. The two large shields were already crumbling after a single impact, but they were blocked after all.
Mo Lianren waved the epee unfolded in his hand, and at the same time, the remaining three team members also set up their weapons, a moon sword, a halberd and a lance.
Naturally, these people had much more experience in close combat with the phantom beasts, and they immediately rushed towards the six sickle legs, which were the most threatening part of the gatekeeper.
"Drink!" The Demoman also gave up his shield, took off his war hammer and hit the Gatekeeper's head with two hammers. The Gatekeeper, who was a little dazed just now, obviously hadn't reacted yet, and was knocked over by the two hammers. His body was cut into limbs by heavy weapons without any defense.
Burning blood spurted out from the severed limbs. This time, two scythes were cut off by the sudden attack. Unfortunately, the other two missed the joints, causing the gatekeeper to roll over and get up.
The people on Lu Ning's side opened fire immediately. Even without the special ammunition provided by Wen Beiluo, she had prepared enough armor-piercing bullets and explosive bombs. These bullets, whose names remained the same but whose power increased day by day with the advancement of technology, were still lethal even against Class B fantasy beasts. But the gatekeeper also reacted quickly. As soon as his mind was clear, he swung his sword into an airtight defense and blocked most of the bullets.
"Everyone, please pay attention to your surroundings!"
The bayonet loudly warned, and everyone suddenly discovered that there were weak floating flames in various places cut by the blade's feet. The gatekeeper quickly retreated a distance and left the area besieged by Mo Lianren and others. Two sickles were It collided in the air and created a slightly larger fireball.
"Dodge." Lu Ning said in a deep voice.
The gatekeeper opened his bloody mouth and spit out a mouthful of flames at the fireball in front of him. At the same time, the flames floating in the air seemed to be resonating and suddenly expanded into large fireballs, spraying out like lasers in different directions. The same flame!
