Chapter 291 Killing
……
Meanwhile, another line of action.
"The front is Observation Post No. 6." Zhulong walked and carefully looked around, "I don't think heavy rain and mudslides can kill those experienced special service operators... You should understand what I mean, right?" br>
"Isn't it just a weird thing?" said a hunter who was assigned to the group of candle dragons. "It's just our job."
"Speaking of which, Zhulong, among these people, your perception ability should be the strongest, right?" Ye Jiu said, "Can you feel the strange smell in which direction is the strongest?"
Zhulong shook his head: "It's everywhere, even where we are, it's filled with a strong aura of strange things... I'm not sure whether these auras come from real strange things, or from Chimera No. 17 Interference means.”
"Oh, interference method? Is it afraid of us?" Ye Jiu hung the wolf fang behind his back, holding the Tang Hengdao named "Zhanshuang" in his hand, and dragged the tip of the knife to the ground - all those who were beheaded Everything the frost comes into contact with, whether it is mud or rain, quickly freezes into ice, forming a road of ice under Ye Jiu's feet.
Thanks to him, several other hunters in the same group were spared the embarrassment of trudging in the mud. They all followed Ye Jiu and walked on this ice road.
"Speaking of which, how many weapons are these missing special service operators equipped with?" a hunter at the end of the team asked.
"They are not armed," Zhulong replied.
"No weapons? Are you kidding me?" The hunter just arrived in Tianfu City yesterday and obviously didn't know much about the situation. "The Sheriff needs to bring a baton and a stun gun to catch a thief. Tell me what these special agents do. The officer didn’t bring any weapons?”
"Even tactical nuclear bombs can't kill Chimera No. 17. What weapons do you plan to let them bring? Big Ivan?" Another hunter who arrived a few days earlier complained, "In this bad weather, Every gram of weight must be carefully calculated. If you carry one less gun and one less magazine, you might be able to carry a whole set of more monitoring instruments... Do you think they don’t want to carry weapons?”
"Then if you encounter something strange, wouldn't it mean that you don't even have the ability to fight back?"
"When Chimera No. 17 first appeared, all the monsters in this area were killed by it. Coupled with the nuclear strike, theoretically speaking, except for Chimera No. 17, this area is There are no other strange things." Zhulong explained patiently, "The biggest threats they face are actually heavy rain, radiation and mudslides... But no one expected that a group of people would appear out of thin air in this area. Strange things.”
"By the way, are the frequencies of those weird objects that were detected later confirmed to be independent weird objects?" Ye Jiu asked, "Where did these weird objects come from? Did Chimera No. 17 just look at them?" Wandering in your own neighborhood? You promised that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers?”
"Yang Qi believes that these new monsters are probably the 'guards' created by Chimera No. 17 -" Zhulong suddenly stopped mid-sentence, "Watch your steps!"
The mud near the ice channel suddenly exploded, and several figures covered in mud jumped out of the mud and pounced on the hunters standing on the ice channel.
"F*ck!" The hunter at the end of the team cursed subconsciously, but his arm that had already formed muscle memory had already picked up a special shotgun and locked it directly on the figure closest to him. The trigger was pulled!
“Bang!!”
The deafening sound of gunshots instantly drowned out the noisy rain, and a large puff of fire erupted from the muzzle of the shotgun. Before the figure leaping out of the mud could pounce on him, he was pushed by the huge kinetic energy. Flying backwards quickly.
Ye Jiu's movements were not slow either. The Zhanshuang in his hand quickly slashed out several air blades - wherever the air blades passed, the mud froze. Those attackers who had just jumped up and whose bodies had not yet completely escaped from the mud were directly frozen. He stopped, and then fell heavily on the ice.
"That's all." Ye Jiu rushed out with the knife, raised the knife with his hand, and instantly chopped off the heads of the two attackers who fell.
The people present were all senior hunters with rich practical experience. Except for the hunter who just cursed, no one else was too surprised by the attack. Everyone took action one after another, either using abilities or modern weapons, and in the blink of an eye they repelled all the attackers dormant in the mud.
"These guys... seem to be the missing special service operators?" A hunter glanced at the head that was chopped off by Ye Jiu and was still wearing a helmet, and frowned.
"They are infected." Zhulong took a deep breath, "It seems that the individual monsters detected previously are probably these infected special service operators."
However, the two "infected people" who were decapitated by Ye Jiu did not die. The headless body struggled to rise up, and a large group of tentacle-like things emerged from the neck of the corpse, crazily. Squirming.
"Tsk, it looks so disgusting."
Ye Jiu said with some disgust, stepped on the shoulder of the headless body, and then inserted Zhanshuang straight through the incision on the neck!
Those tentacles were frozen into ice sculptures in an instant. Ye Jiu flicked his wrist and shook the blade slightly, and the ice sculptures turned into pieces and scattered on the ice.
"Isn't this too weak? Does Chimera No. 17 expect to use these things to stop us? If you want to talk about me, Zhulong, we should... Zhulong?"
Ye Jiu pulled out Zhanshuang and raised his head, only to find that there was no one around.
The candle dragon disappeared, and so did the monster hunters who were in the same group as him.
"What's going on?" Ye Jiu's heart suddenly tightened, and he changed from holding the knife with one hand to holding the knife with both hands.
He suddenly realized that at some point, the rainstorm stopped.
A semicircular crescent moon appeared in the dark night sky. The bright white moonlight projected down and imprinted on Ye Jiu's armor, exuding a chilling chill.
"Moon? How can Yongye see the moon?" Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, "No, even if you can see the moon, it should be a blood moon... But this moon is white, and it is also a quarter moon... That's not right. No, no!”
Ye Jiuyi lowered his head and suddenly realized that what he was stepping on was no longer ice, but frozen soil as hard as iron.
Black blood was dripping from the Zhanshuang blade, and at his feet lay an indescribable corpse.
It can be vaguely distinguished that this is a human corpse, but the body surface of the corpse is covered with black manes that do not appear on humans at all, a pair of sharp claws and a dense row of "eyes" on the back. "Also reminding Ye Jiu...this corpse is not human at all.
At least, not normal humans.
"What is this...is it the infected person I just killed?"
Ye Jiu suddenly trembled. He turned around and froze in place. Less than a hundred meters behind him, an army was quietly arrayed.
The cavalry were dressed in black clothes and armor, with black horses and saddles, and even the pheasant feathers on their helmets were dyed black.
This army numbered at least a thousand people, but it was as quiet as a ghost... Not only the people, but also the horses did not make the slightest sound.
There were no flags in the military formation, and there were no flags on the cavalry's backs. However, Ye Jiu could still recognize the true identity of this army based on the style of their armor and weapons.
The "Xuanjia Xiaoqi" in the prosperous Tang Dynasty!
"Oh my God!" Ye Jiu couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
The "killing" set he wore was derived from the Black Armored Cavalry. Of course, he knew the combat effectiveness of this army very well.
In the age of cold weapons, they were mankind's top fighting force.
A thousand black armored knights were enough to defeat any country in the Hexi Corridor or any tribe on the northern barbarian grassland... During that period, no second army could stop their iron hoof... not even the high wall made of huge rocks. , may not be able to stop it.
The most famous achievement of Xuanjia Xiaoqi in later generations was that with a force of 2,000 men, he defeated the Langya rebels who were more than ten times their own strength, beheaded several generals of the Langya rebels, and brought about the fall of Chang'an City. It was delayed for several months.
But nearly a hundred years have passed since the establishment of the Xuanjia Xiaoqi of that period... According to the descriptions in ancient books of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Xuanjia Xiaoqi of this period, both in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness, were already far inferior to those of the Xuanjia Xiaoqi when they were first founded. Xiaoqi.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
However, there are very few records in the literature about the Black Armored Knights when they were first founded.
The Xuanjia Xiaoqi was born out of the "Xuanjia Army" led by Emperor Zhenguan himself - the Xuanjia Army followed Emperor Zhenguan to conquer the world and achieved many great achievements. However, the Xuanjia Xiaoqi that was born later, their combat records during the period of Emperor Zhenguan But it's almost zero.
The Xuanjia Army was born in troubled times, while the Xuanjia Cavalry was born in the peaceful and prosperous times - no one knows why Emperor Zhenguan spent several times the resources of the Xuanjia Army to build such an elite force... In the prosperous Tang Dynasty of that period, such an army completely It's just a decoration. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there were all the vassal countries that bowed their heads. Even the barbarians in the north had to clamp their tails between their legs under the pressure of Emperor Zhenguan, the "Khan of Heaven"... The existence of the Xuanjia Xiaoqi not only shocked all parties. , has no practical significance at all.
Some people think that the Black Armor Knight is an important weapon of the country built by Emperor Zhenguan in order to promote martial virtue, while others think that it is just a symbol of Emperor Zhenguan's militarism... Later generations have been arguing about this, and there has never been a conclusion.
But one thing is undoubted - no one knows what kind of battles this black armor knight fought during the period of Emperor Zhenguan.
But no one disputes that they didn't fight.
In many documents, the weapons, equipment and personnel replenishment of this unit have been recorded - normal training, no matter how intense it is, the loss of equipment cannot be so huge. Only in wars, and extremely brutal wars, can there be such a bizarre situation that thousands of sets of armor and tens of thousands of reserve soldiers are replenished every year, but the total number of Black Armor Knights has never exceeded five thousand.
In other dynasties, or even in the era when other emperors ruled in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it might be attributed to the corruption of the government and the public, and the corruption of officials... But during the period of Emperor Zhenguan, this was absolutely impossible to happen.
What's more, this is the military expenditure of Xuanjia Xiaoqi.
Ye Jiu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Although no one told him the answer, he vaguely understood something in his heart.
The black armored knight in front of me is probably the black armored knight from the time of Emperor Zhenguan.
At that time, the Tang Empire had no force that could be called an enemy... So, who would be the opponent of this army?
Ye Jiu couldn't help lowering his head and looked at the corpse at his feet.
The enemy of Xuanjia Xiaoqi... is a strange thing?
A sharp howl tore apart the silent atmosphere. Ye Jiu suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw that strange things all over the mountains and plains were coming in this direction - these strange things still maintained most of the characteristics of human beings, but those same obvious mutated organs and charging speeds that were far faster than war horses all told Ye Nine: They are not human at all.
A uniform sound of metal friction came from behind. Ye Jiu looked back again and saw that the black armored knights on horseback had lowered their originally upright spears, and pointed their sharp spear points at Wei. The direction from which the creatures are rushing.
Each of the Black Armor Knights wore a ghost mask exactly like Ye Jiu's, so that Ye Jiu couldn't see their expressions at all.
"Kill." A low roar sounded from the Black Armor Knight.
"Kill!" All the Black Armor Knights roared together, and an invisible wave of air emitted from the military formation and spread to all sides.
Ye Jiu noticed that the spear tips of these black-armored knights were wrapped with a purple-black hidden flame that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
"These spears...are they all trick weapons and equipment?" Ye Jiu was really dumbfounded now, "Are these thousands of black armored knights all qualified for trick weapons and equipment?"
This incident was even more shocking to Ye Jiu than the fact that the real enemy of Xuanjia Xiaoqi was a monster.
"How is this possible?!"
Ye Jiu was in a state of confusion, but the Black Armor Knights who had already lined up had already launched a charge towards the tens of thousands of monsters!
The horse's hooves were raised high and then fell heavily. The hard frozen tundra shook violently. The cavalry in black clothes and armor were like a high-speed moving iron stream, swallowing up the distance of a hundred meters in an instant.
Just when Ye Jiu thought that all this was just an illusion brought to him by "Slaying", a black armor knight who was galloping past him suddenly reached out and lifted him up from the ground.
"Eh? Hey hey hey hey?!"
The black-armored knight swung violently, and Ye Jiu flew backwards. Then, he landed on an unmanned war horse.
"This is... my mount?" Ye Jiukankan grabbed the reins and barely stabilized his body on the horse.
