Alien Relic Hunter

"That's right. Just crush it to pieces. Whoever is a coward is the one with eggs!" The old dog said viciously, taking off a grenade hanging under the shoulder armor and holding it in his hand.

"I'm not that scared. It's just that the air permeability of this iron sheet is really poor, and it makes me feel uncomfortable." Zhuoligetu said in a loud voice. You can see through the helmet's mask that the Mongolian man's forehead is already covered with beads of sweat.

"Sorry, time is tight and I don't have time to install an air-conditioning system. Brother, just bear with it." Layton said a little embarrassedly, "If it doesn't work, just open the mask. The radiation value in this tunnel is not high. There is no toxicity in the air and the oxygen content is not bad.”

"I told you earlier." Hearing what Layton said, the old dog couldn't wait to pull open his mask, but as soon as he took a breath of the air in the tunnel, his brows wrinkled...

"There is a very strong smell of blood. The further you go inside, the more obvious the smell becomes." The old dog whispered.

"It was expected. After all, hundreds of people died inside." Ke Lan said while slowly advancing.

"No... the smell of blood is a bit strange. It doesn't resemble the smell of humans." The old dog's huge nose twitched a few times, "It's strange, but I can't tell what's wrong. In short, be more careful."

The team moved forward for almost fifty meters, when Ke Lan raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop.

"The interference here is already very serious. None of the detection equipment on my body can operate normally. Change the formation. Lao Gou, Asano, it's up to you."

"Okay." Akira Asano, who had been silent for the past few days, finally spoke for once, holding the scabbard and walking to the front of the team.

The old dog moved to Asano Akira's right side and placed his left arm equipped with a shield generator across his body in order to deal with the killing moves that might strike at any time in the darkness.

Ke Lan, who was replaced in the center of the formation, held the searchlight high and adjusted the brightness to the maximum. But even so, the light of the searchlight could only reach a place less than thirty meters away - Leviathan's body tissue seemed to be able to absorb the surroundings on its own. The energy in the environment, even light, is included. Scholars who study Leviathan call this phenomenon "Leviathan black hole", which means "not even light can escape from it."

For Ke Lan, this place is somewhat similar to the deep sea where light cannot penetrate, but at least there is no terrifying water pressure like the deep sea, and there is no deadly poison in the air.

"The smell of blood keeps getting stronger." The old dog whispered, his tone unusually serious.

"There are still one hundred and twenty meters away from the place where the previous groups of hunters and unknown creatures encountered -" Before Ke Lan could finish his words, a shrill sound of breaking through the sky suddenly came from the darkness!

"Enemy attack!" Asano Akira shouted, but he did not hide behind the old dog. Instead, he took a step forward and unsheathed his sword——

"Hey--" The high-speed flying acid was cut directly by the war blade, half of it was thrown to the rock wall above the head, and the other half landed in the middle of the energy shield that Lao Gou had just opened.

"Tsk..." A few wisps of white smoke suddenly rose from the place where the rock wall came into contact with the acid, and a brilliant fire flashed on the surface of the energy shield, and the acid liquid was burned clean. net.

"The vanguard engages the enemy! The energy shield is effective! Asano Akira retreats immediately, and the hound fires flares! Layton, Zhuoligetu, fire suppression!" According to the plan made before going down the well, Ke Lan methodically issued one instruction after another. "Keep pushing forward! The energy shields of Hound and Leighton are pushed forward alternately, and be careful not to create any gaps. Zhuoligetu and I are ready to fill in. Ivan and Akira Asano pay attention to the rear of the formation, as well as the top of the head and the feet, and don't let any Moving things come within twenty meters!"

The flash bomb fired by the hound exploded in front, and the strong light released revealed the thing hidden in the darkness... Just as they had guessed before, this was a monster with an approximate humanoid body structure. Almost exactly like a human being, the torso, limbs, hands and feet, even...

"Even the muscle distribution under the skin is the same as that of the human body..." Ivan took a deep breath and whispered.

However, the biggest difference between these creatures and humans is that... they have no heads.

"I finally understand what the messy 'hair' on the survivor's graffiti is..." The hound spat hard, and then closed the helmet's visor.

These creatures have no heads. Instead, they have a mass of pale and swollen fleshy tentacles that resemble sea anemones.

This mass of tentacles grew out of their necks, which made Ke Lan and the others think of the containers parasitized by the Seeds of Corrosion again... But it was obvious that these things in front of them were completely different from the Seeds of Corrosion. creature.

In the center of the tentacles, there was a crack about two centimeters in diameter. Every time the muscles around the crack twitched a few times, a bunch of acid would spurt out from the crack and shoot towards Ke Lan and the others in the distance.

There are six "sea anemone head" monsters, about 80 meters away from Ke Lan and others. According to the calculations of the power armor tactical auxiliary system, the initial velocity of the acid they spit has exceeded eight times the speed of sound. Even if it is only A mouthful of spit is enough to pierce a head without a helmet.

Only a freak like Asano Akira can use a knife to cut open during flight...

"Looking at these things makes me feel uncomfortable all over...especially around my neck. I always feel itchy..." the hound said while shooting at the "sea anemone head" continuously. The needle-shaped bullets fired by the electromagnetic machine gun It can easily penetrate light infantry armor, but it cannot tear the skin of these monsters.

"Old dog! Stop shooting for now...Have you noticed something?" Ke Lan rushed up with the energy shield and shouted to the hound.

"What's the matter? Do you mean that the organs that spit acid from these monsters look like chrysanthemums?" The hound stopped shooting, and the arm armor with the gun barrel embedded inside split apart, and white steam continued to gush out from the heat dissipation vent. .

"Have you noticed that when bullets hit these guys, although they cannot penetrate their skin, the impact area will turn dark purple-red. This process will last for about two to three seconds, and then the purple-red color will turn red. It fades quickly, first turning to light pink, and finally returning to its original pale appearance."

"What does this mean? I don't understand." The hound shook his head in confusion.

"That should be some kind of defense mechanism of these monsters... There is no carapace or cuticle outside their skin. They should rely on this defense mechanism to block your bullets. Although I don't know what the principle is, but You can try to shoot the shot area that is in a pink state." Ke Lan quickly expressed his thoughts.

"Are you kidding? Those guys are always moving. It's difficult to hit the same spot twice in a row, not to mention that the window time you mentioned is only a few seconds..."

"You have to at least try. You can't keep wasting ammunition like this... Or you can try shooting at the opening where they spit acid."

[P.S. Does anyone have some "bold ideas" about sea anemone heads? Although people's XP is free, I still recommend that brothers who have this idea go to see a doctor...]
