Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 48 NO.0030: Add some difficulty

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by the sound of cracking the air, the sawtooth limbs waving by the metal spider gleamed with cold light, like the sickle of death that captured the soul, and fell towards Liao Qi who was facing it.

And the latter turned sideways just before the sharp blade was about to split him in half.

He almost avoided the fatal blow by wiping the tip of his nose.

"Crack!"

"laugh--"

The missing limbs of the metal spider easily pulled out a neat trace on the floor as if cutting paper.

Taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's attack, Liao Qi, who broke into the blind spot where the opponent's joints could not reach, fired the "Scorpio" in his hand almost against the opponent's shell.

The high-energy pulse beam instantly burned the opponent's clean metal shell into a mottled scorched black, but when the pulse was focused and wanted to burn through the opponent's armor in one go, it bounced like a jumping spider with bent limbs, instantly Leaped onto the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.

Without being able to continuously burn, the high-energy pulse of the Scorpio only left a discontinuous black mark on the opponent's shell and limbs.

Danger!

On the other side, the moment the metal spider jumped up, Liao Qi's back of the neck felt a chill as if blown by the god of death.

It was the premonition of danger brought to him by the edge enhancement system!

At the moment, even if the other party's limbs couldn't touch him, Liao Qi followed the danger instinct and chose to dodge immediately.

Jumping with his knees bent, the "grasshopper" type strengthened the tendon's jumping ability and let him eject like a cannonball.

He escaped the opponent's fatal sneak attack.

A silver afterimage shot out from the tip of the opponent's fusiform body, hitting the position where Liao Qi was still 0.3 seconds ago.

There, a plaster statue placed was shot in his stead.

The silver afterimage bounced into a metal net before hitting the plaster statue, capturing it. And the remaining kinetic energy carried by it even flew to the center of the hall with the plaster statue, until they hit the quaint textile machine, stirring up dust on the weaving cloth before they stopped completely.

After stopping, the metal mesh immediately began to shrink rapidly like a deflated balloon.

The sharp metal grid shrank into a crumpled metal ball within a few breaths. At the same time, the plaster statue in the net was divided into "building blocks" scattered all over the side of "paradox".

In this regard, "paradox" just looked down indifferently at the gypsum building blocks all over the floor...

Didn't even dare to let out the air.

Instead, let me control the scale of the battlefield!

If possible, Jiang Zhou even wanted to shout out this sentence.

Just a little bit.

It was really just a little bit close to hitting myself!

Jiang Zhou, who was sitting in front of the textile machine, looked calm on the surface at the moment, but deep in his heart was a moment of fear.

Taking a few long breaths calmly, he forced himself not to look down at those building blocks.

Right now, he must maintain a steadfast mastery.

Well, I didn't even bother to respond to the attack that almost affected him earlier.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou turned his gaze to Booker.

At this moment, Booker just jumped up high - several jets with blue tail flames extended from the carapace at the position of his calf, making him dodge with an extremely zigzag trajectory in midair. The other metal webs that the metal spider sprayed towards him.

Then, Booker opened his right hand towards the opponent-at this moment, his right hand transformed into a microwave transmitter focused on energy.

In an instant, as if electrified, countless dazzling electric sparks bloomed on the metal spider's body.

The sound of "crackling" electric shocks continued to explode, and the smell of ozone simulating air ionization permeated the hall.

However, after the arcing vision ended, the metal spider hanging upside down from the crystal ceiling remained unscathed.

Not even a little blackness remained.

Damn, Booker, aren't you a veteran adjuster of Depth 3? Give it a try!

Feeling the gap between such a strong expressive force and such a hip-pull record, Jiang Zhou couldn't help cursing in his heart.

"Zizizi—hiss——"

(I'll kill them all and leave you to torture)

At this moment, the metal spider whose scientific name is "Arachne II Stalker" threatened Jiang Zhou like this.

As for this, Jiang Zhou just manipulated Liao Qi, and shot the opponent's twinkling "eyes" with a Scorpio to divert his attention from himself.

The metal spider jumped up and rushed towards Liao Qi again.

At the same time, Liao Qi's communication channel received a message from Booker.

"We need to make a bigger hole in that guy."

He said so.

At this moment, Booker's right arm popped out of the heat sink and was hissing white steam in the air.

His main weapon, the "Chef" type microwave launcher, is an extremely efficient anti-personnel weapon. It can cover hundreds of meters away and blow the enemy's brain into popcorn through the skull.

But when dealing with this kind of hard-shell autonomous machine, even if it fires at full power, it can only spark a very nice electric spark.

"I can burn the opponent's core circuit, but the opponent's metal shell is equivalent to a Faraday cage, which isolates the destructive power of microwaves."

Booker continued.

Following his words, the monomolecular samurai sword in Liao Qi's hand quickly transformed into something that looked like a pile driver.

And because of the lack of parts, it is only a mini model.

At the same time, the Aegis module on Booker continued to deform. A lot of the non-vital armor even came off, eventually transforming into a giant nail gun on his left hand.

"So, we need to open the can first."

He said so.

...

In their subsequent confrontation, in Jiang Zhou's perception of the native, he could only see a few afterimages ejected in the hall, and heard the continuous clanging sound of weapons interlacing.

Of course, from Liao Qi's perspective, he could still follow the rhythm of the battle very intuitively.

This feeling is amazing, as if two displays are playing a movie at the same time, except that one display is 8K at 120 frames, and the other is 320P at 10 frames.

But no matter what, the less than a minute of fighting made the whole hall a mess as if it had been ravaged by a tornado with countless files wrapped around it.

They left countless high-energy pulse bullet holes and steel nails pierced by nail guns on the ground, ceiling, and walls...

There are traces of their battle damage everywhere.

During this period, Booker and Liao Qi tried their best to leave a deep enough opening on the metal spider's shell.

Booker's reaction and speed are stronger than Liao Qi's, but because he lacks a keen intuition for threats, he has been using the nail gun transformed by Aegis to suppress and shoot at medium and short distances.

But most of the steel nails were blocked by the opponent's impenetrable jointed limbs, and only a few nails were shot at the opponent's body.

In this way, there is no way to expand the results of the battle.

However, in close combat, Liao Qi, who possessed a dangerous intuition almost like a sixth sense, was constantly closing the distance, rushing into dead corners where the opponent's limbs could hardly reach to fight.

The mid-range and long-range net guns and the short-range eight sharp limbs are fatal threats to Liao Qi, but it is safest for him to pull them close to the body.

Because of this, in the eyes of others, there was a very strange scene in this battle - a depth 1 adjuster seemed to be chasing this depth 2 malicious program.

Got it!

Once again, under cover, Liao Qi got closer. This time, Liao Qi finally found an opening.

He inserted the thing that looked like a pile driver into the steel nail that Booker had nailed into the opponent's shell before.

"Om—"

Under the violent tremors of the pile driver, the steel nail buried deep in the armor instantly burst into a steel flower.

And that steel flower directly opened a plate-sized opening on the opponent's armor, revealing the complex internal structure under the carapace.

"enough."

Booker's voice echoed in the communication channel.

Next, he just needs to keep a distance, and wait for Booker to send another full-power microwave to completely destroy its internal circuits.

But at this time, perhaps realizing that he was bound to retreat, the metal spider screamed again.

At least for Booker it's screaming.

"Zizizi—hiss——"

(Even if you can't kill them, you don't want to live)

There is no doubt that it said this to Jiang Zhou.

After finishing speaking, the metal spider inserted its eight sawtooth joints deeply into the ground, making itself fixed in place like a signal base station.

It is recorded in the detailed information about the Arachne II stalker previously transmitted by Booker to Liao Qi that this kind of self-discipline machine usually has two fighting states:

One is the aggressive state, that is, the posture of the previous battle with Liao Qi and Booker. For those without armor-piercing ability, its powerful armor is an extremely difficult bone to crack.

The second is the hunting state, using its own body as the processing center to hide and fix it, and control the predator spider group; that is, the smaller metal spider that Jiang Zhou encountered earlier; to hunt and kill.

So, the other party wants to directly control the predator spider group to kill him?

That's the end...

At the moment of despair, Jiang Zhou's consciousness was stretched.

It was the same feeling as before—under the extremely tense situation, I once again stood on two different perspectives to look at the problem at the same time, thinking about the problem with two threads, and looking for a comprehensive solution three-dimensionally.

There is another way...

…………

Well done!

Seeing that Liao Qi detonated the unfilled armor-piercing projectile he had nailed earlier, Booker couldn't help applauding in his heart.

As long as the other party's tortoise shell is pried open, the rest will be simple.

"Zizizi—hiss——"

It was also at this time that the Arachne II stalker suddenly let out a piercing scream.

Then, it instantly changed its fighting state.

Booker froze for a moment.

It's almost over, what is the other party doing?

Subconsciously turned his head to look at the "paradox" behind him, and this turn directly raised Booker's heart to his throat.

That god-like being stood up from the loom for some reason.

this……

Is the trial over?

Before Booker had time to ask, the other party spoke first.

"This trial is really too simple for you."

he said.

For some reason, the voice sounded dull.

What?

Booker panicked.

"So, allow me to add some difficulty to you at the end."

"Paradox," continued.

And the moment he finished speaking, the door of the hall suddenly shattered, and the windows around the hall were also broken.

Dozens of smaller predator spiders broke into this devastated hall.

"Stop the spiders before they touch the loom."

The last sentence, the voice of "paradox", was directly sent to my mind by the other party who deciphered the communication channel encrypted by Datura.

This was Booker's first reaction.

Immediately, he was very thankful that he hadn't talked nonsense with Liao Qi on the communication channel before...

And obviously, Liao Qi, who was also on the communication channel, also received this order.

And he reacts faster than himself.

Before he could react, Liao Qi on the side had already yelled, holding his weapon as if desperately, and rushed towards the predator spider closest to the spinning machine.
