Alien Relic Hunter

Ke Lan immediately chose to retreat backwards, keeping a distance from the beast, and at the same time taking this opportunity to observe the opponent's weaknesses... But what left him speechless was that the beast was covered in the unique Nino alloy. Under the shiny scales, there are no weak spots to attack.

It had no eyes or exposed nostrils, and its big mouth remained closed... Even when it pounced on Ke Lan, it showed no sign of opening to bite.

It's like a perfect iron bucket, making it impossible to start.

Such a monster must have mutated in the next five hundred thousand years... Otherwise, the weapons carried by the dignitaries in the upper city who participated in the hunt would not be able to break through this guy's defense.

"This guy is covered in scales!" Thirty-three on the side shot more than a dozen black flying blades at the monster, but failed to achieve any results.

"I want to try to seduce it. If I give it a chance to attack, it may choose to open its mouth and bite me. At that time, I can take the opportunity to attack the inside of its mouth... This thing will not even cover the inside of its mouth. Scale armor, right?" After Ke Lan finished speaking, he stopped, no longer retreating, and assumed a posture ready to respond to the impact.

The limbs of this crocodile-like monster... no, to be precise, they should be "its sixteen limbs". They are also as short as the crocodile and can only be used for crawling and cannot be used as weapons. So what does this monster want? The only way to cause fatal damage to prey is through biting - the depth of that big mouth accounts for about a quarter of the body's length. Although it has not been opened, Ke Lan can completely imagine The teeth inside are as sharp as saw blades...

The crocodile's attack method is relatively simple, which is to bite the prey with a huge bite force, and then tear the entire piece of meat from the prey, or shake the head to break the prey in the mouth, but no matter which method, in its When biting the prey, he will expose the relatively soft inside of his mouth to the prey - this is the attack opportunity that Ke Lan wants to seize.

"Be careful!" Thirty-three shouted, "I'm always ready to help."

"No problem." Ke Lan stretched out his right arm forward, and a red fluid as thick as plasma quickly seeped out from the pores. First, it accumulated into several blood-colored tentacles as thick as a handful, and then these tentacles were wrapped around each other. Twisted together, a strange limb over one meter long was instantly formed.

This extended arm is the "bait" that Ke Lan uses to induce the monster in front of him to open its mouth. As long as the opponent bites this arm formed by the living armor, the living armor can directly attack inside the monster's mouth... ... Ke Lan even thought about the subsequent attack route: hundreds of spikes will be generated directly from the top of the arm, piercing the monster's upper jaw and reaching the brain...

However, until the extended arm formed by the living armor reached the monster's body, the monster did not open its mouth to bite... Although Ke Lan could not find the monster's eyes, he vaguely seemed to feel that the monster was facing He showed a contemptuous and mocking look...

"This guy has a very high IQ! He has seen through my intentions!" This was Ke Lan's first reaction, but before he could change his move, the monster suddenly turned around in mid-air in an extremely unreasonable manner, using its thick long tail to force The ground hit Ke Lan's chest, and Ke Lan flew away like a ball.

Ke Lan could clearly hear the sound of his ribs being broken. Even with the double protection of the living armor and Zeluo, his chest still sunk, and his internal organs ruptured under the huge pressure... He hadn't even hit the ground yet. Red blood has already overflowed from the seven orifices.

According to this momentum, Ke Lan's flying body was enough to break a towering tree at the waist up to his waist. Fortunately, the living armor finally reacted and generated a large amount of foam-like buffer layer behind Ke Lan. , the edges of these buffer layers are solidified into hard grappling hooks, clinging to the ground tightly, covering Ke Lan's body like inflatable nets.

Ke Lan crashed through four buffer layers in a row, and the soil on the ground was plowed up by the grappling hook to a depth of nearly half a meter before the force could be stopped.

"Ke Lan! Are you okay?!" Thirty-three asked anxiously.

"Cough... cough cough... it's okay... spit!" Ke Lan spat out a mouthful of blood with internal organs fragments, and got up from the ground with some difficulty.

An ordinary ninth-level enhanced person would never be able to bear this kind of injury... In other words, they would have died suddenly on the spot the moment they were hit by the monster's tail. Ke Lan's survival was all due to the protection of his living armor and his extremely abnormal self-healing ability.

The damaged organs were recovering rapidly, and the broken and dislocated bones were returning to their original positions under the push of the living armor. In less than two seconds, Ke Lan's mangled body returned to normal, without even the split flesh. Leaves scars. The only difference from before was probably the damaged clothes and the blood stains on his body and face that had not been wiped off in time.

"I underestimated the enemy... and also underestimated the opponent's strength..." Ke Lan said. This time, he did not dare to relax at all, and directly covered his whole body with living armor, and even condensed a three-meter-long hunting spear in his hand.

"Is this guy's power really that terrifying?" Thirty-three immediately flew out after seeing Ke Lan fighting with this monster, but the monster just rolled in mid-air, adjusted its posture, and neutralized it. The recoil force landed firmly on the ground.

Since I met Ke Lan on the 33rd, this was the first time I saw Ke Lan deflated and looking so embarrassed.

"It's scary." Ke Lan nodded, "I'm glad that he chose me as the target. If it were you, you would probably be dead by now."

This sentence is not an exaggeration at all, if calculated according to the level of human enhancement...

Well, it seems that it really can’t be calculated.

Human enhancement is currently capped at level 10. Starting from level 8, the strength increase at each level is about 50% to 120%. This value is also closely related to the enhancer's body shape, degree of body transformation and other factors. It is not There is a fixed value like in a video game.

Assuming that Ke Lan himself is used as the reference for the ninth-level enhanced person, the power erupted from the tail flick just now is at least that of Ke Lan using his physical strength to whip out a whip leg without the assistance of living armor and space power. More than eight times.

Assuming that the enhancement levels above level ten are based on a doubled increase ratio, then this monster has the strength of a twelve-level enhanced person at least.

This is a value that is hard to imagine... It is true that there are many creatures on Alpha Planet that are far more powerful than level 9 enhanced humans, but these creatures all have one thing in common, that is, they are extremely large in size, like the one in front of you. Very few creatures possess such powerful power.

The main reason why there are limitations in living organisms is because of the strength relationship between muscles and bones... If the physical strength is too strong, it will most likely destroy the user's own body before it is used - like For some powered armors or exoskeletons with relatively strong power systems, if the user's body is relatively weak, muscle strains or even fractures may occur if the user makes a few violent movements... even if they do not need to control the limbs. Large-scale mechas or other vehicles participating in sports also have the problem of G-force load.

Ke Lan now strongly suspects that not only the scales on this crocodile-like monster are made of Nino alloy, but perhaps even its bones are made of high-purity Nino alloy... As for the soft tissue between the muscles and bones, then The strength is certainly higher than any material currently created by humans.

If this monster was obtained by the researchers who study bionics and materials science in the institute, it would definitely be a treasure... Unfortunately, the only thing Ke Lan can think about now is how to kill it.

This monster cannot bite, and its claws are difficult to attack, but its body itself is the most powerful weapon - just like a python, which is also a reptile. The python does not have fatal toxins, nor is it powerful enough to bite large prey to death. It has long tusks and no claws, but its thorny body can easily strangle prey of similar size to itself, relying on its own strong muscle strength.

"Never engage in close combat with this guy." Ke Lan warned Thirty-Three, "This guy's power is almost equal to a level 12 enhanced person."

"Level 12? Isn't the highest level of enhanced human being only level 10?" Thirty-three was stunned for a moment, unable to react to Ke Lan's statement.

"It's equivalent to four times the maximum strength of a level 10 enhanced person, just the moment it knocked me away." Ke Lan said.

This monster is lying twenty meters away from Ke Lan at the moment. It has sixteen feet on the ground at the same time, its elbows are slightly bent, and its abdomen is close to the ground. It is keeping up with Ke Lan in a posture that can launch a pounce at any time. Confrontation.

Its IQ is not low, but at this time, it seems to be wondering why the "prey" that should have died actually climbed up from the ground like a normal person.

As the overlord of this area, creatures that are more than ten times or even dozens of times larger than it are no match for it, but the "human" in front of it makes it feel a hint of threat.

"Good guy, so scary?" Thirty-three made some calculations in his mind, "Even a mecha of this size doesn't have this kind of power, right?"

"Except for those disposable toys that are equipped with a lot of thrusters." Ke Lan said, "Unless it is a pure Nino alloy frame, no body frame can withstand such an intense impact."

"What you mean is that not only the shell of this thing is made of Nino alloy, but also the bones?" Thirty-three took a breath of cold air and subconsciously took two steps back.

He knew very well that he might not be able to intervene in the battle between Ke Lan and this monster.

"Not only the scales and bones, the muscles and internal organs also have terrifying strength." Ke Lan said, "When I fight with it later, I will try to get rid of the scales on it. Then you can just use black Attacking the exposed flesh with the flying blade... may have some effect."

"Understood!" Thirty-three nodded and retracted the extra black flying blades, leaving only a thirty-centimeter-long armor-piercing cone with prismatic reinforcements added to its eight sides suspended directly in front of the palm of his hand. , ready to attack at any time.

He knew that even if those black flying blades, which were about the same size as razor blades, could pierce into the monster's body, they would not cause any effective damage. Instead of scraping with hundreds of black flying blades, it would be better to concentrate all the power on this broken blade. On the armor cone, try to see if you can stab this monster to the core.

The short and tense confrontation ended without warning. Ke Lan only saw the muscles on the monster's arm contract slightly, and the monster disappeared from the place, turning into a black shadow and heading straight towards him - this In addition to the speed of the thing, it even left an afterimage in the dust raised behind it!

This kind of explosive acceleration would be difficult to achieve even with a disposable vehicle packed with rocket thrusters...

Ke Lan immediately swung the hunting spear in his hand - although it was said that he swung it out, in fact, his arm did not move at all. Instead, the spear body was lengthened by the change of the living armor, and it stabbed the black shadow that was approaching instantly!

Just when the hunting spear was about to come into contact with the black shadow, the sharp spearhead suddenly expanded and turned into an irregular polygonal hammer body, which hit the black shadow heavily!

Armor-piercing weapons are generally divided into two extremes - one is a short, hard, and sharp armor-piercing cone, which relies on its own hardness to forcefully penetrate the enemy's armor and damage the flesh behind the armor. However, this kind of armor-breaking cone has very high requirements for materials. If the enemy's armor hardness is much higher than that of the armor-breaking cone, it will not have any armor-breaking effect.

Another armor-breaking weapon chooses a completely different idea: blunt weapon. Blunt weapons completely abandon sharp edges and spikes, and rely purely on weight and strength to complete the strike. Even if the enemy is wearing heavy armor, the power contained in the blunt weapon can be transmitted through the armor itself, shattering the internal organs of the armor piercer. .

When facing a monster whose whole body was covered in Nino alloy scales, Ke Lan chose the second armor-breaking method.

"Bang!"

The loud sound of the hammer head colliding with the monster's body was heard. Ke Lan and Thirty-Three felt a buzzing in their ears. At the same time, an extremely terrifying repulsive force was also transmitted along the handle of the hammer to Ke Lan's hand. Ke Lan's palm suddenly became numb... If it weren't for the handle of the mallet being connected to the living armor, he might have let go at this time.

The tiger's mouths of Ke Lan's hands were all torn apart, and the blood flowed out and was quickly absorbed by the mallet handle condensed from the living armor... Although this hammer failed to cause any damage to the monster, it at least successfully blocked the opponent's offensive. The monster that flew over was smashed into the ground.
