The terrifying dragon's roar tore the earth, and the flames spread out for thousands of meters, but were quickly shrunk back, just like the first [Yanlong roar] that was taken away by Wu, but this time, this attack But he successfully eliminated a powerful unit...
Looking at the ground that was empty of dragons and left with only a huge hollow, Wu Ke fell into deep thought. Wasn't he just trying to persuade dragons to do good? Is kindness so difficult for dragons in this world to accept?
Do you still need to explode on the spot and self-destruct to show him?
"Alas~"
Wu Ke sighed quietly, feeling a little pity for the strong-willed dragon.
"If Rick and the others can eat it, the meat from their body would probably weigh four to five hundred kilograms..."
He whispered to himself, and made up his mind that if he encountered this type of beast again next time, he would give it a decisive blow to avoid wasting the meat resources that could be obtained.
Reluctantly, he searched around the huge hollow, and after thoroughly confirming that there was indeed nothing that looked like pieces of meat left underneath, Wu Ke flew back angrily.
In order to prevent the aftermath of the battle from affecting Rick and others, he seduced the dragon to a place at least a hundred kilometers away from the extinct human settlement. Even if he could fly back at full speed now, it would still take a long time. A few minutes...
. . . .
"Everyone has rested, let's set off!"
Everyone stood up and did not dare to go outside, so they started walking in the dark tidal tunnel. Their shoes stepped on the muddy tidal flat. Even though everyone had slowed down their pace as much as possible, some mud still clung to the soles of their shoes. , I don’t want to let the shoes leave me, that kind of ‘clack-clack’ sound.
The rocks above the head, due to the cold and damp environment of the tunnel, are condensing water drops and dripping down. The ticking sound is like rain, which is in harmony with the relatively heavy breathing and pattering of everyone in the silent environment. The clattering footsteps were mixed together.
The silent and dark tunnel environment should have given people the fear of claustrophobia, but now for Rick and others, the tunnel where they are the only one making any noise, the darkness inside is protecting them like a protective color. .
If there hadn't been a group of ogres who ran into the beach cave right behind them, looking for their traces and smells...
When the heavy footsteps that could not be concealed appeared behind him, Rick's expression changed in the darkness. His rich experience allowed him to quickly judge the approximate number of creatures behind and their individuality from the sounds coming from far behind. weight...
And as long as he connected a little bit with the tragic events that happened in that village, it was not difficult for Rick to guess who was following him.
"There are ogres behind. Damn it, the corpse pit in the settlement should be a bait. The ogres and other demon species with sensitive sense of smell that wander outside will be attracted by those smells, and the dragon is sitting on the trap, waiting. A hunter whose prey falls into a snare..."
Everything was connected. No wonder that not long after they appeared in the village, the dragon spirit appeared right behind them.
"Go quickly."
Rick whispered to the crowd.
Yiwang expertly used one hand to take out a crystal lamp from his pocket.
"Didn't you say you can't light the lamp?"
Ya Lei was puzzled.
"At this moment and that moment, we have obviously been tracked, and the environment here and the mud on the ground will pose less of an obstacle to us humans than the ogres chasing after us. If there is lighting, We humans can go faster..."
Hearing this, Ya Lei immediately understood the current situation. The ogres behind them should be tracking them by scent, so the presence or absence of light has little effect on the ogres, but having enough lighting can speed them up. The speed of forward movement.
"There should still be a certain distance between us and the ogres, plus the geographical advantage of the tidal flats here. Yvonne, you and Ryan will lead the team from the front. Ya Lei, Norma, you will come to the rear with me and put away the powder that interferes with the smell. , all left behind.”
Everyone quickly adjusted their teams, and bottles of powder made from dried human feces were sprinkled in various hidden places in the tidal tunnel.
This trick is called the smell of prey everywhere. In a place where the air is not very smooth, those ogres should be disturbed by their own sense of smell in the places where they have spread feces powder. Stop and search for hiding prey...
This method is very dirty, but I have to say that it is very effective in dealing with ogres.
However, if you are dealing with other monsters, such as the giant monster that asked Ivan to make a sacrifice, the scent powder is of little use, because it does not rely entirely on smell, but also sees traces.
The lights swayed in the dark tunnel, and the roaring sounds of ogres came from behind from time to time. The light of the other end of the passage could already be seen in front.
"We're here, it's the exit. We just need to run out and use the bombs we carry with us to blow up the tunnel behind and collapse it. Then we will..."
Ya Lei made a somewhat excited voice. After rushing out of the cave entrance, he suddenly stopped. All the people who rushed out with him and Yi Wang looked at the wriggling meat ball in the open space not far away with some despair. hills.
But on and around that thing, there were hundreds of demon species, including trolls, ogres, and even more powerful monsters.
[Mobile Demon Nest] is the name of the meat ball hill. It is a living animal base that can continuously produce and hatch various demon species.
The panting people collapsed on the ground. There were tigers in front of them and wolves behind them. Although the tigers in front of them had not noticed them yet, if they dared to light the bomb, the huge noise would definitely attract their attention. .
But if you don't do this, a large number of ogres in the tunnel will catch up, and they will also die.
"For the current plan, we can only divide half of the people to stay and sacrifice, while the others use the vines next to the cave to climb up. As for whether they can survive, it depends on luck."
In a desperate situation, Rick makes his own judgment.
However, before he could ask who left it, this question might embarrass everyone.
Yvonne and a group of elderly expedition members who were physically or mentally disabled stood up without saying a word.
"Let us stay."
Ivan said.
"Yiwan and Ryan replace me and Yare."
Before Ivan could say anything else, Rick explained.
"Yale and I are the ones who throw the powder, and we still have a strong human smell..."
If they go up together, it will reduce the chance of survival of those who escape...
As for Norma, who was also throwing dung powder behind just now, she was already one of the old people who stood up.
Rick chose the two most experienced people to replace himself and Ya Lei.
Ya Lei nodded. Although he was afraid of what would happen next, he did not flinch in the face of death.
This is what he himself requested. If he encounters something that requires sacrifice next time, then it will be his turn first.
"you do this delibrately?"
Yiwang seemed to understand something.
"The pressure that I can bear has almost reached its limit."
Rick said.
In fact, he was not sure whether he and others would face a desperate situation, but when they might face a desperate situation, he created a situation where he had to make a sacrifice choice, and he had to give priority to sacrificing himself.
"I know this is irrational, but please forgive me..."
After a pause, Rick laughed.
"When I say the words "Sacrificing others", I will feel extremely depressed, but now I have to be among those who have to sacrifice. You know, Yiwang, I can actually feel a sense of relief now. I will leave it to you after we gather together. , give me and Croni a word...I'm sorry!"
Those who left were already climbing up the vines, while those who stayed began to walk down, making no attempt to hide their figures from behind.
The ogre with blue skin could see his prey at a glance after coming out of the tunnel, running away in the distance.
The leading ogre stared at Rick, who was staying at the front. He knelt down and jumped directly from the entrance of the tunnel, which was about thirty or forty meters away from the ground below, doing something that was absolutely impossible for humans in this world.
With a bang, it crossed at least fifty or sixty meters and stopped in front of Rick. It didn't roar because it wanted to eat the food it found all to itself.
"Is the game of life named Rick over?"
Rick smiled a little bitterly, but also seemed to be a little relieved.
Instead of making some pointless resistance, he was ready to wait for his own death.
And the fate of death has indeed arrived, but it does not belong to him.
A blue beam of light shot from the sky, and the head of the ogre leader was like a soft cake being penetrated by a cylindrical stick, directly breaking a hole the size of a human fist, which was more than three people tall. The strong body fell to his knees and fell directly in front of Rick, almost crushing him.
At this time, the other ogres who were chasing the fleeing humans stopped. Seeing the death of their leader, they all turned their heads towards the direction of the attack in the sky and roared their own angry voices. Then, those roaring voices suddenly stopped. And stop...
Dozens of beam attacks, like piercing through the head of their leader, pierced the heads of these roaring ogres at the same time, and the sound of falling to the ground was almost heard at the same time.
【This is? 】
Rick felt surprised, but thought it was Wu Ke who had gotten rid of the dragon and was now looking for him.
However, when he raised his head, Rick looked directly into a pair of somewhat indifferent eyes.
That was not a life-saving straw grasped by humans, but a rather petite figure of a young girl. In her hand, she held a spear (firearm) that was extremely inconsistent with her petite body, and the machines on her head and everywhere on her body The object completely proves her identity... Ex-Machina!
"Why are there Mechanics here?"
Before such an idea could appear in Rick's mind, the roar of the ogre attracted his attention, and the mobile demon nest in the distance noticed the situation here.
The young girl-like Ex-Machina was also attracted by the hostile moving demon nest over there. Calculation flashed in her eyes, and in her mind she was thinking about the little girl's mechanical voice.
[Enemies: Two hundred and nineteen.
Strength: Two hundred and ten low-level demon species, eight medium-level demon species, and one special demon species troop-producing unit.
Our winning rate calculation: 100%
Total annihilation probability, startup script N is: 100%
Script N is activated, code is opened, auxiliary weapons are condensed...】
The two interfaces hanging down by the feet are like data cables. They are devices for the Ex-Machina to absorb the external elf power and convert it into its own energy. They emit a light blue light, and the elf power around the petite Ex-Machina is condensed. Single auxiliary weapon.
Rick only saw the opponent in the sky. He easily raised the long-handled firearm that was disproportionate to his petite body with one hand. It only took a few seconds to gather energy before a thick energy beam was launched. go out.
However, the beam of light neither attacked the running demon species nor attacked the cumbersome moving demon nest over there. Instead, it shot towards the high altitude between the two. Just when the beam reached After reaching a high point, it actually stopped.
Immediately afterwards, countless tiny energy rays split beautifully like falling meteors. No demon species was excluded from the attack of these beautiful rays of light. However, after the rays of light disappeared silently, What was left there was a mess.
The corpses of more than two hundred demon species that had been pierced through fatal parts of their bodies were left there, including a moving demon nest that looked like a hill of meat. It had turned into minced meat, but was charred and fell to the ground. above the original place.
Obviously, in front of high-level races, these demon species that can only be used as cannon fodder in wars are just a group of remnants that can be destroyed easily. Perhaps upper-level demon species can fight against individuals of high-level species, but here, it is obvious that there is no such thing. The kind of existence of a superior demon species.
Everything ended very quickly. Just when the young Ex-Machina girl turned her head, as if she was scanning the surroundings to see if there were any enemies that had slipped through the net, and she was worried that her companions who had climbed up the rocks above the cave to hide would be discovered, Rick issued his own the sound of.
Facing a demon species, the escaped companion may survive, but if it is a machine-type species, the chance of survival will be infinitely close to zero. He must do something about this...
So, Rick raised his hands and prostrated himself directly on the ground: "Ah, distinguished Lord Ex-Machina, I am a weak human being here to thank you for your help. I am willing to offer my sincere gratitude here." Thank you, please accept it..."
Rick's performance was extremely exaggerated in order to attract the attention of the terrifying machine-type individual above, and he succeeded in doing so. However, things seemed to be different from what he imagined.
"Then, please turn me into a real woman."
Falling in front of him, the young girl-like Ex-Machina grabbed him with one hand and said some very decisive words to him.
