Chapter 83: Hope in a Dead Situation
Knowing the weaknesses, the hunters have confidence in their hearts and can deal with them much more calmly.
Deng Yuanlong took the lead and pushed forward. The ax flew up and down, and immediately chopped two soldier ants. Then the shield was placed on the ground, deformed and unfolded a transparent shield, covering almost the entire corridor, withstanding many ants. Soldier Ant's flamethrower.
This large shield turns out to be a defensive treasure!
Taking this opportunity, Xu Hao drew his bow and shot an arrow, specifically aiming at the location of the swallowing ganglion in his chest. He specially replaced it with armor-piercing arrows, and with the attachment of Gang Qi, every arrow could pierce the carapace and reach the vital point. In an instant, several soldier ants fell to the ground, twitched, and lost their fighting power.
The soldier ants finished spraying flames and rushed over one after another, using their physical strength as a shield. Even though Deng Yuanlong was tall and strong, he could not withstand the impact of so many monsters and was forced to retreat continuously.
At this moment, Bai Renxin's fingertips lit up a few rays of light and hit Deng Yuanlong. The two-meter-tall strong man immediately became energetic and strengthened. He roared and withstood his life. Got the shield!
Bai Renxin's ability belongs to the blessing system in the incantation school. He is best at healing, but he can also apply other buffs.
Seeing the stalemate ahead, Dong Huicheng and Han Xiaoying rushed forward. The transparent barrier was a one-way barrier. The two stood behind the shield, slashing at the ants with their swords, and knocked down several more!
In the blink of an eye, most of the more than twenty soldier ants were dead or injured. The remaining few seemed to be afraid and turned around and ran away.
"Chase! Catch them all in one fell swoop!" Dong Huicheng's eyes were already red with blood. With an order, several people chased after the fleeing soldier ants.
Only Bai Renxin, who was behind, hesitated for a moment. She frowned, and then looked back... The masked boy who had been following her before seemed not to be following this time...
" Renxin, follow up!" The call from his companion came from the front. Bai Renxin was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that he couldn't let go of such a good opportunity, so he chased after him with enthusiasm.
A few people followed the soldier ants and turned two corners and came to an open space. This open space was a dead end, thirty or forty meters square, and there was a plant-like thing growing in the middle. It was more than one meter tall, and its branches were segmented like insect tentacles, with a red sarcoma the size of a human head hanging from the top, beating slowly.
The soldier ants who came here seemed to realize that they had nowhere to escape, so they had no choice but to fight back desperately, and were finally killed by the hunters.
After killing all the soldier ants, several people were breathing heavily. Dong Huicheng noticed the sarcoma in the middle of the clearing. Watching it beat, he felt that his temples began to hurt with the beating.
"Something's wrong... bad!"
Relying on his last sense, Dong Huicheng swung his sword and chopped the tumor into pieces with a pop. Purple-red liquid burst out from it, and at the same time, the The tentacles also began to shake violently, and suddenly everyone felt as if their heads were going to explode, and they let out painful roars.
"Renxin, hurry up, release the comfort!" Dong Huicheng shouted loudly, Bai Renxin held her head and trembled, but she still carried out the captain's order, worked hard to circulate her vitality, and released the comforting ability of a group.
As a hazy light fell, everyone's headaches were relieved a lot and their minds became clearer.
"What happened just now?" Xu Hao rubbed his temples: "My head feels dizzy, and all I can see is prey and killing..."
"We have been tricked..." Bai Renxin gritted his teeth and said, "These Ants have mental abilities, which was never mentioned in the information!”
“I feel so sore...” Han Xiaoying gasped: “The killing spree just now, my energy seemed to be depleted very quickly...”
"Let's go quickly!" Dong Huicheng picked up the big sword: "There is a problem here!"
Ignoring picking up the corpses of the soldier ants, several people immediately ran back, but as soon as they reached the exit, a The flames spurted out!
"Get behind me!" Deng Yuanlong shouted, setting up his big shield to cover everyone's retreat. I saw soldier ants emerge from the entrance of the hole one after another. The number was more than before, and the division of labor was orderly. They sprayed flames alternately in batches, leaving no chance for the hunters to fight back!
Seeing this scene, the hunters' hearts froze. This was obviously a trap for fire ants, leading them to a dead end to catch turtles in an urn!
Who would have thought that these seemingly low-level insects could have such high intelligence?
"There are a lot of them, almost fifty or sixty..." Dong Huicheng stood behind Deng Yuanlong and observed: "But it doesn't matter, after they finish spraying, we can fight back. We don't want to annihilate them all, as long as we can kill one Bloody Road, just escape from here!”
“Damn it, this is not a blue mission at all!” Deng Yuanlong scolded: “It’s difficult enough just to have so many level 3 monsters. Laying traps, and spiritual attacks...this must be at least purple difficulty!"
"It's useless to complain now!" Han Xiaoying said angrily: "Listen to the captain and escape alive!"
"Hurry!" Dong Huicheng has been carefully observing these ants, which batch Those who have sprayed flames, and which ones have not yet been sprayed, will all be remembered in my heart.
"The last ones are breathing fire now." Dong Huicheng clenched the sword in his hand: "When they finish spraying, we will attack!"
As the flames gradually extinguished, wait Yuanlong's shield also flashed a few times, just as its energy was exhausted.
"Last chance! Charge!" Dong Huicheng waved his sword and was about to charge when suddenly there was a violent vibration under his feet!
"What's going on?" Several people stood unsteadily. When they looked down, they saw that the concrete floor was cracking!
"Spread out!" Xu Hao, who has the keenest sense, reminded: "Something terrible is about to come out!"
Almost at the same time, a big hole was opened in the ground, and a Only the big pincers broke out of the ground! Several people quickly dispersed, but Deng Yuanlong couldn't dodge and was hit in the back by the big pincer. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell out. The nearest Xu Hao came to help him up: "Is everything okay..."
"Fortunately...well, a few ribs should be broken..." Deng Yuanlong gritted his teeth.
At this time, the ground cracked completely, and a huge insect came out.
The body structure of this insect is similar to that of a soldier ant, but it is several times larger, and its limbs are thicker, its carapace is thicker, and its body has more and longer thorns. If soldier ants are bulls, then this giant insect that bursts out of the ground is a giant elephant!
Different from the black and red shell of ordinary soldier ants, this giant insect has a dark purple body dotted with golden stripes. It looks like an evil beauty!
"A new species of bug...it's something that's not in the information!" Dong Huicheng's eyes were about to split. Seeing that Deng Yuanlong was injured, his teammates were disrupted by this giant bug. On the other side, there were more than fifty The soldier ants also took the opportunity to rush forward, and everyone was forced into a corner and in danger.
Are we going to be completely wiped out, and the team I worked so hard to build and the teammates I finally recruited will have to be accounted for here? !
Dong Huicheng gritted his steel teeth and roared: "Everyone, run, I'll hold it back!" He rushed forward waving his sword!
The giant insect also noticed him, and waved its big claws to greet him. With a clang sound, the sword edge entwined with Gang Qi struck the giant insect's big claws, tearing away the hard carapace. They all left a mark!
Dong Huicheng didn't give up yet. He roared and slashed out with his sword again. His energy was a little higher than before. The sword light swept across and chopped off several soldier ants!
"Captain... so powerful!" Dong Huicheng's crazy attack held back the giant ants and gave the other team members some breathing time. Several people struggled to get injured, broke through the siege of the soldier ants, gathered together, and looked towards The captain's eyes were filled with shock!
"This is...when did the Boss's Gang Qi become so sharp?" Seeing Dong Huicheng slashing at the giant insect with one sword after another, and his momentum continued to increase, Deng Yuanlong endured the pain and frowned: "That's not right. , I have never seen anyone in the Peiyuan Realm with such terrifying sword energy!”
"This can no longer be regarded as the Peiyuan realm!" Bai Renxin, who has the highest level among the people, widened his eyes: "He is making a breakthrough to the Ningxin realm!"
"Breakthrough?" Han Xiaoying said in surprise: "The boss is in Peiyuan realm. The Yuan realm has been brewing for so many years, and it’s finally breaking through? Isn’t that a good thing? Can it be broken in the face of battle?”
“Of course it’s not a good thing!” Bai Renxin gritted his teeth and said, “A breakthrough in the Ningxin realm is prone to accidents. , We need to be fully prepared and adjust to the best condition. His current state is obviously not right, the gang energy is growing uncontrollably, I am afraid that he will not even be able to pass his own test..."
Everyone saw that it was true. , although the captain had great momentum and sharp attacks, his moves were unorganized and he almost went crazy. Although he told them to run away, the violent sword energy did not open a passage for everyone, but forced them back to the depths of the cave.
Captain is going to go crazy!
When everyone was worried, Dong Huicheng's sword flashed and completely cut off one of the giant insect's claws, and his energy also exploded to an unprecedented level. The sword light soaring to the sky covered almost half of the field, and wherever it passed, Ordinary soldier ants fell down like mowing grass!
However, just when he was about to pursue the victory and kill the enemy in one fell swoop, his throat suddenly felt sweet and a mouthful of old blood spurted out!
The Gang Qi on his body also flickered a few times and dimmed.
Taking advantage of this moment, the giant insect opened its mouth and spit out a huge fireball, which hit Dong Huicheng and exploded!
The last bit of the gang energy was completely dispersed. Dong Huicheng flew backwards in the black smoke. Han Xiaoying rushed forward and hugged the captain. She found that his whole body was severely burned, and the sword in his hand could not withstand the high temperature. The powerful slash broke in the explosion just now.
At this point, there were still more than 30 soldier ants and a giant insect with a broken claw at the scene. The five-person team was blocked in a blind corner with no possibility of escape.
"It's completely over now..." Xu Hao's hand holding the bow was shaking a little: "What should we do?"
"What else can we do?" Deng Yuanlong reluctantly picked up the axe, Gritting his teeth, he said: "It's still a death after all. Why don't we fight and get some stinky ants to support us!"
"I don't want to die yet..." Han Xiaoying held the two knives, her eyes began to turn red: "I entered yesterday. Before the wilderness, I told my mother that I wanted to make a lot of money and buy her a birthday gift next month! "The girl who was full of hope just now lost her backbone as the captain fell.
"Calm down, everyone!"
Although Bai Renxin is young, she is at the highest level. When the captain fell, she took the initiative to take the lead.
"This cave is not big, only a few dozen meters horizontally and vertically!" She used healing techniques to stabilize Dong Huicheng's injuries while looking at the entrance of the cave behind the swarm: "As long as we find a way to break through, there is still hope of survival. "
"No...there's no hope..." Xu Hao said dejectedly: "I've heard something coming at the door again..."
"What?" Several people were stunned and looked towards the door. Suddenly they saw several soldier ants flying away, and a black shadow rushed out. It jumped into the air at an extremely fast speed and flew towards the giant insect like a cannonball!
Bang!
With a crisp sound, the giant insect weighing several tons was knocked sideways by this small black shadow. With a bang, several soldier ants were crushed to death, and cracks appeared on the carapace that was hit!
Aren’t they insects?
A few people were stunned. When they took a closer look, the black shadow bounced away, flipped over and landed on the ground. It turned out to be a young man wearing a mask!
