The power of the fatal blow before the death of the water ghost was still amazing. The unusually strong speargun made a small hole in the belly of the steel-clad mecha made of fine steel, but the arrow did not penetrate too deep. Because of the huge force, the entire speargun was fixed on the steel jacket. If I had known this, I could have just pulled it out. But Sister R was not wrong. Be careful and sail the boat for ten thousand years.
After taking off the steel garment on his abdomen, the bleeding spots on Ma Tao's abdomen can be clearly seen.
Just like Ma Tao said, the soft gold armor inside was also damaged, and the originally tightly connected gold wires had collapsed, which showed that the power of the water ghost spear gun was astonishingly penetrating.
After untying the soft gold armor, a blood hole as thick as a little finger was exposed on Ma Tao's lower abdomen, with blood constantly pouring out.
Sister R quickly used the disinfection tools she had sorted out to clean up the area around the wound. The pain made Ma Tao grimace for a while.
The pain of disinfection is different from the pain of a wound. After the initial severe pain, the skin tissue of the wound on the human body will become numb, so that the pain cannot be felt. This is a type of human nervous tissue. With the self-paralysis function, as long as the wound is stimulated without touching or moving, there is usually no pain. However, when disinfectant is applied to the wound, it awakens the cells and tissues around the wound, and the pain is really heartbreaking. lung.
"Fortunately, it was just some skin injuries and no damage to the internal organs."
Gao Han took a look and saw that there was only a small amount of blood oozing from Ma Tao's abdomen without exposing the tissues and organs inside, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
If this attack really hurts Ma Tao's internal organs, even if Ma Tao temporarily loses the ability to move despite the ginseng potion, they must be repaired here until Ma Tao successfully recovers before they can continue. We have just come down. If we encounter any monsters, there will be no time to take care of the sick after the fight. That will be the most troublesome.
Since it was a skin injury, there was no need for expensive items like ginseng potion. Ordinary ginseng pills could solve the problem, so Gao Han put the ginseng potion back into his backpack and took out a ginseng pill. , tear it open and apply it to Ma Tao before taking it.
"Isn't there Codonopsis?"
Xiao Jinzi remembered that Ma Tao bought some Codonopsis pilosula medicine there, and wondered why Gao Han didn't give it to Ma Tao.
"This little injury is of no use. There is still a long way to go. Good medicine should be used at the critical moment."
Gao Hanzai carefully applied his hands on the wound on Ma Tao's lower abdomen. To be honest, this scene looked really pretty from a distance, but yes, Ma Tao who was in it could only feel the pain at the wound. , as for the others, I’m not in that mood at all.
"I'm not worried about it, can't the Codonopsis pilosula drug help me recover faster?"
Xiao Jinzi scratched his head and muttered.
"No, the injury is not harmful. It will probably heal in a while. It's just a pity that the golden armor was damaged."
After using the ginseng pills, Sister R simply wrapped the bandage twice around Ma Tao's waist to stop the bleeding. After everything was done, Ma Tao felt much less pain and glanced at the soft gold armor that was taken off aside. It's a pity.
"Okay, you're not satisfied with this thing saving your life."
Gao Han rolled his eyes at him, then stood up, picked up the damaged soft gold armor from the ground and put it into his backpack.
"If this thing is broken, it's in your arms. Why did you pick it up?"
Ma Tao said in confusion.
"Keep it, just in case it comes in handy later."
Gao Han replied.
In fact, many of the materials used to make soft gold armor are rare metals and are expensive. However, some things are like this. Once they are damaged, they lose their original value and even become worthless. Just like a plastic seat, once it is damaged, it There is no way to restore the damage. Even if it can be repaired, the price of repair will definitely exceed the cost of manufacturing such a plastic chair. The gain outweighs the loss.
"Oh, throw it away now. I told you when I bought it that there is no way to repair this thing."
Xiao Jinzi also said.
Gao Han hesitated for a moment. She was also present at the time and heard these words, but Gao Han still chose to carry the damaged soft gold armor in his backpack, which didn't take up much space.
"Thanks……"
Looking at Ma Tao who was half lying down, Su Lanyu opened her pink lips and said.
"Thank you. I am the captain. Of course I have to lead the way."
Ma Tao smiled at her, knowing that because he blocked an arrow for her, this woman felt very sorry.
"Now that you are injured, let's rest here for a while."
Gao Han suggested.
"I said, can any of you go kill that water ghost before resting? Stop letting him scream."
Ma Tao kept listening to the cry of the dying water ghost in the river, which made him feel troubled, especially because the wound had begun to feel itchy due to the effect of the ginseng pills, which made him even more worried. Ma Tao was distraught at that voice.
"I go"
Xiao Jinzi picked up the flame cannon he had just put down and was about to send the water ghost to the west. But as soon as he stood up, there was a sudden sound of water flowing on the originally calm sewage river.
"Holy shit, isn't it? Are you still coming?"
Xiao Jinzi was startled, raised his flame cannon and aimed towards the river, but could see nothing except the undulating water ripples and the water ghost floating on the water.
"Did you see what that was just now?"
Gao Han also came to Xiao Jinzi with a neutron cannon, and observed the smelly sewage with him, but also found nothing unusual.
"No, I just heard the sound."
Xiao Jinzi really didn't see anything, so he told the truth.
The sound of the water just now was very loud, and the five people heard it very clearly. It was like the sound of splashing produced by some huge thing swimming in the water. At this moment, it suddenly disappeared again. The only possibility is that the thing was hidden in the water. Here.
"Then why doesn't the water ghost scream?"
Su Lanyu stood beside Ma Tao holding the sword, carefully staring around and at every corner in the darkness.
"It's not just the water ghost who makes no sound."
Ma Tao observed that the big rats in the sewer that were roaming around unscrupulously and squeaking seemed to be afraid of something. They shrank and curled up, blinking with two round black eyes. Without blinking, it's like being cast on the body-fixing hair.
When things go wrong, there must be monsters. If animals have a series of unusual reactions, it must mean that something important is about to happen. This is especially true for creatures with particularly strong senses like rats. When dealing with danger, their sixth instinct is The senses are far more than human.
It was too quiet, the surroundings fell into a deathly tranquility, the anger was suppressed to the extreme, everything was abnormal, and the five people did not dare to express their anger.
Ma Tao, Su Lanyu and Sister R are close to the stone wall here and cannot see the situation in the water. However, it is not convenient to ask questions at this time. These animals with no IQ know how to pretend to be dead. Why wait for others? If you want to be the first person, you don't even know what the other person is.
"It's so quiet around here, tell me, is that water ghost dead?"
Gao Han, who was near the sewage river, looked at the water ghost floating on the water and asked Xiao Jinzi in a low voice.
"What's the meaning?"
Xiao Jinzi turned his head to look at the water ghost, and suddenly understood what Gao Han meant, and then showed a very cunning smile and said: "What you mean is..."
Then, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and Xiao Jinzi was about to raise the flame cannon in his hand.
"I'm here, your weapons have echoes"
Gao Han reached out and pressed down Xiao Jinzi's gun-raising hand to stop him.
Picking up the neutron cannon in his hand, Gao Han aimed at the water ghost that kept floating on the water. However, Gao Han did not aim at the head of the water ghost but at the feet of the water ghost.
'Whoosh~'
As soon as the blue beam of light flies out from the muzzle of the neutron cannon, due to the unstable buoyancy in the water and the slow movement of the water flow, deviations are inevitable. The neutron beam is like the sharpest scalpel directed directly into the water. The ghost's foot was cut off from the thigh.
"Wow..."
As expected, the water ghost was not completely dead yet. Such an attack caused it to let out a strange scream uncontrollably. In an instant, the whole sewer was filled with the shrill howling of the water ghost, but it only lasted for less than 10 seconds. Two seconds later, there was a loud "plop" sound, and huge waves appeared on the calm sewage river. Suddenly, a huge beast emerged from the water, with a mouth big enough to swallow a cow. The garbage was swallowed into the belly together, and with the loud noise falling into the water, the splash of smelly water raised a water column of seven or eight meters high, and the huge beast sank into the water again and disappeared. What was left was the floating waves spreading into the distance in circles. From the beginning to the end, the water ghost had no room for resistance and was swallowed directly.
The five people on the shore and the river saw clearly that it was a huge creature, its whole body was red, and its two fist-sized black gem-like eyes were filled with wild greed and cruelty. Judging from the part of the monster above the water, it looks very much like a crocodile, but how can a crocodile be so big? The front of the car alone is as big as a small truck. The total length must not exceed ten meters. It is definitely a crocodile. These rare big guys are just original and purely wild.
"Isn't this the monster they were talking about?"
Xiao Jinzi said.
"Congratulations, you answered 100% correctly..."
Gao Han's charming eyes were full of solemnity. Not only her, but everyone present had a good-looking face.
No wonder those guys outside would rather suffer outside than come in. The fact that there is a water ghost inside is secondary. The important point is this, but this monster is not humanly capable of contending. In the current environment, if people are in the water, they can wait by themselves. If a person is on the shore, no matter how hard he fights, the monster will definitely not come ashore, and even if it does, it will never leave the water too far. Such mutated creatures have lived for a long time and have almost become sperms. Their IQ should not be underestimated. The monster is already very familiar with the environment here. It must know where to go. It can be said that it occupies a favorable location and the monster will not easily come ashore. Ma Tao Wu People can't go into the water and start a fight with this monster. That will only kill them faster. We still don't know the true strength of this monster. If we really get it ashore, it's hard to say whether we can fight it.
"Now I somewhat understand what that bastard meant."
Ma Tao's brows were tightly knitted together. His serious words of waiting to see them die in there were not just words of anger. It was obvious that this guy had known about the situation in the sewers for a long time.
Thinking of this, Ma Tao couldn't help but wonder if Qian Santai also knew what was going on here, but if he knew, why didn't he tell him and others? But no matter what, he had already come down now, and he had no intention of turning back when he opened his bow. Whatever monsters and monsters are in the way will be completely destroyed.
After resting on the spot for more than ten minutes, Ma Tao's wound was almost healed. The ginseng pills were very effective in treating such minor injuries, and the effect was basically immediate. During the period of Ma Tao's recovery, he did not say much. A word, all in a quiet state of mind with eyes closed.
From the moment they saw that terrifying creature, everyone knew that sooner or later there would be a tough battle to be fought. The most important thing was to recharge their batteries and preserve their physical strength. Even Xiao Jinzi knew how to calm down.
"That's almost it. Let's keep walking."
Ma Tao checked the wound on his abdomen again. The newly grown flesh had basically healed and the wound had closed. It would probably take a while for it to completely return to its original state.
"Have you recovered?"
Gao Han opened his eyes and said.
"It should be fine"
Ma Tao stretched out his fingers and poked again. He didn't feel any pain. He felt that he should have recovered to eighty or nine points, so he took off the bandage, put on a new soft gold armor, and then put on the steel suit mecha.
Fortunately, Ma Tao bought a few more pieces of gold armor, otherwise he would have nothing to wear now.
Continuing to walk along the bank of the sewer embankment, everyone kept their steps as low as possible this time, and moved as close to the wall as possible, away from the side near the sewage river, mainly to guard against water in the water. The monster made a sneak attack.
After walking for almost ten minutes, the road ahead ended and we couldn't pass in the direction we were facing, so we had to turn right, that is, move towards the south.
Gao Han's eyes were so good, but his night eyes were as if they were disabled in such a dark environment. It was simply a bug. They were so far away, and before they even turned to the right, Gao Han discovered the one over there. Two water ghosts squatted on the embankment.
The two water ghosts did not notice the appearance of Ma Tao and the others. They squatted there to catch mice and didn't feel the light shining on them at all. This made Ma Tao realize that in the world of water ghosts, there might be There is no concept of light at all, just like color blindness in the human world. Everything is gray, white and black, with no difference in color at all. This also explains why water ghosts have no reaction to the lights shining around them, because They are invisible.
The enemy's shortcomings were its advantages in winning. They concentrated firepower from a long distance. Two neutron cannons and a flame cannon directly killed one, and the other was also disabled.
Suddenly attacked, the remaining water ghost screamed in terror, and the terrifying cries of children rang out again. In the panic, the water ghost did not figure out where it was that attacked it, and actually took off its spear gun and targeted it. He hit the water and launched an attack.
The result was naturally beaten into pieces by Ma Tao's second round of attacks.
You don’t get much money to kill a water ghost. The average price for a water ghost is around 60 to 70 G. Moreover, this thing is soaked in the smelly ditch of the sewer all year round. It smells all over the body. It has blue skin and is covered with fish scales. It looks like It gives me goosebumps and is really unbearable.
The same goes for the two we killed this time. One was still intact, but the other had several holes blasted into it. The dozens of Gs of the water ghost, Ma Tao, really don’t like it now, and with the addition of this monster, I really couldn't get rid of the stinky smell, so I simply didn't bother to get rid of the G on the water ghost.
"What's this?"
Just when everyone was about to move on, Xiao Jinzi walked by and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed something moving in the wound on the body of a dead water ghost. This discovery immediately startled him. At first he thought It was because he had made a mistake. Xiao Jinzi rubbed his eyes and took a closer look. The wound on the corpse of the water ghost was indeed moving. He immediately pointed to that place and said with a surprised look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Gao Han, who was walking in front, immediately stopped and looked back. Xiao Jinzi stared at the body of the water ghost with wide eyes and a horrified look on his face, unable to speak with his fingers.
"Can you stop making such a fuss about what you're looking at?"
Ma Tao walked behind Gao Han, and Xiao Jinzi's exclamation shocked him. His tense nerves were suddenly awakened, and what followed was an involuntary sigh of relief.
"No... take a look, what is this..."
Xiao Jinzi said with an innocent look.
"Let's go quickly. Isn't that the body of the water ghost? Is it still alive..."
After saying that, Ma Tao also looked shocked, because he also saw a small pile of things slowly crawling out of the body of the water ghost, and the thing turned out to be alive.
How to describe it? There are not many of these things, but they are very obvious. It is like a jellyfish, a translucent mucus-like thing. The reason why it is said to be alive is because this thing can be free on the body of a water ghost. It moves as if...it's looking for another host, but it's a pity that this thing can't get down to the ground.
Almost everyone subconsciously stepped back. It was necessary to keep a certain safe distance from the thing without knowing what it was. This was the law of survival.
"What is this thing...?"
Ma Tao looked at the pool of transparent mucus and kept
He seemed to be very restless as he walked around the body of the water ghost. He simply couldn't understand how this thing without a brain could think.
"If I guess correctly, this should be a parasitic creature."
With a solemn expression, Gao Han raised his hand and used his watch to scan the strange creature that appeared on the body of the water ghost. An introduction appeared on the watch.
Slippery cells, an extremely powerful biological weapon, are a breakthrough invention in the field of biotechnology. Under normal circumstances, slippery cells are harmless, but once the cells are activated, the millions of nanometers contained in their cells The bugs will be released, they will eat anything and multiply quickly. It only takes a few seconds to eat a tank and destroy a city if not stopped.
Seeing the introduction of this thing, Gao Han was inevitably completely shocked. It was unbelievable that such a powerful weapon was right in front of them at this moment.
"But... how to activate the nanobugs in the slippery cells...?"
Xiao Jinzi also used his watch to scan the 'slippery cells' entrenched on the body of the water ghost. He was also very excited when he saw Clark's awesome introduction, but soon he thought of a question, which was not mentioned in the introduction. How to activate this thing, let alone how to catch it, is a big problem.
"What I want to know most is how to take this thing away."
Ma Tao felt a headache as he looked at the 'slippery cells' that kept trying to leave the body of the water ghost.
'Bounce~'
When everyone was worried, a glass jar was placed directly on top of the 'slippery cell'. Then the mouth of the jar was swept, and the transparent, jellyfish-like 'slippery cell' appeared. Sealed in a glass jar.
My sister tightened the lid and handed the bottle containing the 'slippery cells' to Ma Tao.
"This thing is not dangerous unless it is activated."
Sister R said.
"I……"
Several people were dumbfounded as they watched the 'slippery cells' that kept popping out from left to right in the glass jar.
It's unbelievable that such an awesome thing was so simply... sealed...
Looking at the 'slippery cells' in his hand, Ma Tao still can't believe that this is real.
"Didn't you have this thing when you killed the water ghost last time?"
Gao Han also took a closer look at the 'slippery cells' in the glass jar and said.
"The one last time was directly beheaded. Why don't you pay attention to the body?"
Ma Tao suddenly regretted that he would have stayed by the dead body of the water ghost for a while while on the cross-sea bridge. Maybe he could catch a 'slippery cell' and come out, but he thought that only this water ghost would come out of the body. Having found this thing, I guess not every water ghost needs it in his body.
Speaking of water ghosts, Xiao Jinzi thought of a question. Seeing Ma Tao concentrating on studying 'slippery cells', he hesitated and finally chose to say, "Brother Tao, there is another thing I don't know if you have thought about it."
"What's up?"
Ma Tao didn't even turn his head. The 'slippery cells' in the glass jar in his hand seemed to know his situation. They no longer struggled violently, but quietly prostrated themselves on the lowest end of the glass jar, motionless. .
"I think the water ghost here is different from the one we killed last time."
Xiao Jinzi finally expressed the doubt in his heart. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
