Alien Relic Hunter

"...I'm sorry..."

He cursed in his heart, but Ke Lan did not take any action. He knew that the more critical the moment, the less he could act rashly.

He must not show any abnormality, otherwise, this "cat and mouse" game may end immediately... This place is still too far from the exit. Even if the power of the thruster is fully increased to the level of overload, he will not have a trace. There's only half a chance of getting out.

There is only one chance, and you must take action when you are confident enough...

…

During these ten long minutes, the tentacles of the fusion body were always at peace with Ke Lan, and Ke Lan completely pretended not to notice these tentacles... But the distance between the two parties never widened, and Ke Lan Lan has always been within the attack range of these tentacles.

Judging by the speed and time of surfacing, the exit of the abyss should be less than a hundred meters above. This last hundred meters is the key to life and death.

These tentacles will never let themselves swim out like this. At the last moment, they will definitely drag themselves into the abyss again - letting the prey suffer great despair when they think they are about to be safe. This is the evil of that monster. taste.

If the Alpha man is not lying, this fusion dormant in the deepest part of the hatchery can probably be regarded as an intelligent creature. It seems that the biology textbook on the Ark needs to be revised and changed on a large scale...

Apart from humans, the second intelligent creature existing on this planet... no matter from which point of view, it is not good news for humans.

This is even more true for Ke Lan.

If the opponent is a beast that relies entirely on biological instinct to drive its actions, Ke Lan's escape rate may be higher, but if it is an intelligent creature with sound thinking ability, the difficulty will be completely different.

Ke Lan did some calculations and found that if he turned the thrusters to the maximum without considering damage to the motor, he should be able to rush out a distance of about 20 meters in two to three seconds - compared with the speed of the fusion body, This was not enough. He had to at least increase his speed by more than three times before he could possibly break out of this cage composed of tentacles.

We have to think of another way...

The closer to the exit, the higher the possibility of the fusion body launching an attack, and Ke Lan is not sure what that thing is thinking... But in other words, the closer to the exit, the greater the chance that he can break out of the abyss...

This is a game where the risk and winning rate are increasing year-on-year, just like a card game called "Black Jack". If you want to win, you must make the points in your hand as close to blackjack as possible, but you cannot More than blackjack - once it exceeds, it will be judged as "Burst" and the bet will be lost directly.

Just as Ke Lan must get as close to the exit as possible without breaking through the bottom line of the fusion's desire to attack, he must seize that fleeting opportunity and put all his bets on it!

"Calm down, you must calm down..." Ke Lan kept saying to himself in his heart. The safety lock of the propeller has been released. He only needs to press the button, and the converter will inject the energy in the crystal into the motor at the maximum rate. Increase the blade speed to the limit.

"It's not yet time..."

Although the surroundings were still pitch black, Ke Lan knew that less than thirty meters directly above him was the exit of the abyss...

However, the distance is not enough...

Moreover, the power of the propeller alone may not be able to increase the speed to that level - for the fusion body, the resistance of the water in the deep sea seems to be completely non-existent, and in just one second, its tentacles will Ke Lan can be caught.

"There are still the last twenty meters."

Ke Lan held his breath. Tentacles so close at hand might strike from the darkness at any time. By then, it would be too late.

"Nineteen meters...eighteen meters..."

"Fifteen meters..."

Ke Lan felt like he was trudging through a minefield. Every meter he floated up was equivalent to taking a step forward. The further he walked, the closer he got to the safe zone, the more densely packed the mines became...

But he couldn't stop, and he couldn't stop...

"Fourteen meters... thirteen meters..."

That's enough, now! !

Ke Lan pressed the button, and after a moment's pause, the paddles began to spin crazily at several times the speed, taking Ke Lan straight towards the exit!

The motor made an overwhelmed buzz. This level of overload would cause irreversible damage, but for now, it was at least enough to allow him to escape from here——

The tentacles of the fusion body also moved, and they chased Ke Lan at a faster speed. The front end of each tentacle split apart, and thousands of tentacles shot out like arrows!

"No! The speed is not enough!" Almost in a breath, Ke Lan realized that he would definitely be caught by the tentacles before rushing out of the abyss. The opponent's speed was too fast, even if all the propellers in his body were at full speed. There was no way he could get rid of it in its intact state.

But Ke Lan has one last trump card!

He pulled the trigger, and the "Vortex I" torpedo in the barrel was immediately launched - but the target of the torpedo was not the fusion tentacles below, but the exit above Ke Lan's head!

The moment the torpedo left the barrel, the metal claws on the hands of the deep-sea diving suit were firmly attached to it. The "Vortex I" torpedo uses a jet-type crystal engine, and it only takes 0.06 to complete the acceleration process. In a second, Ke Lan only felt a pull from the torpedo that was enough to tear his arms off. The next second, he had already rushed out of the abyss!

"Boom!!"

A dull sound of collision came from behind. The tentacles of the fusion body had already broken open the metal net sealing the abyss, and they continued to pursue. The distance between the two sides was gradually getting closer!

"It would be troublesome if we chased him out..."

Ke Lan originally thought that this fusion was "trapped" in the abyss hatchery, but now it seems that the hatchery is just a shelter for it.

Perhaps it was because of the alienated larvae in the egg shells that the fusion body did not leave the nest, but if it was provoked, then everything would be hard to say...

The jet engine consumes a lot of energy, and the crystallized energy built into the torpedo quickly bottomed out. Ke Lan had to launch a second torpedo, but he still couldn't get rid of the tentacles that were chasing after him... …

"This thing is too persistent..." Ke Lan hugged the torpedo with one hand and threw a series of special incendiary bombs backward with the other hand. A second later, a wall of fire several meters wide was behind him. It exploded and blocked those tentacles.

Incendiary bombs are ineffective against the body of the fusion, but they still have a good effect on these derived tentacles. This has been confirmed under the abyss.

The wall of fire bought Ke Lan nearly ten seconds. Following the light beam emitted by the searchlight, Ke Lan had already seen the edge of the submarine plateau.

Not even close!
