Mechanical Flesh

"Why hasn't the snake ghost come out?" Sun Ye's tone became anxious.

"Wait a little longer!" Nie Xiu glanced at the time, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't show it.

The more dangerous the time, the more you need to be calm, otherwise you will only die faster!

Only Jia Tao, who was standing beside him with his head bowed, constantly had thoughts in his mind that even he couldn't believe.

Did the ghost snake really die inside?

Died in the hands of Qi Yuan's first rank?

How did he do that?

The Ghost Snake's defense is comparable to a second-order, and it has a second-order strengthening speed. Even if it encounters a surprise attack, it will not capsize easily. How could it be so easy to die in the hands of a first-order.

He didn't even shoot!

After another five minutes, the ghost snake still hadn't come out, and Sun Ye couldn't wait any longer.

He tried to call Ghost Snake a few times, but got no response, and became more and more restless.

"Something may have happened to the ghost snake, we have to think of a way!"

Nie Xiu frowned. It's not that he didn't think that the snake ghost might have an accident. After all, the ice python is a second-order insect beast, and the frost breath is also terrifying, but with the snake ghost's mutation ability and second-order speed, even if something happens, it won't hurt. As for so fast, there must be time to issue a warning.

But now, the snake ghost seemed to have disappeared suddenly. He didn't come back, gave no warning, and didn't reply to the letter. His strange disappearance was like a stone pressing down on everyone's hearts.

None of the three noticed that the chill under their feet seemed to have weakened, as if the frozen ground was thawing.

With the disappearance of the chill, the surrounding black thorns seemed to be not as hard as before, and they swayed gently with the breeze.

The open space near the twisted wood has shrunk in a circle, and the black thorns seem to be encroaching on this area that was not dared to cross.

Nie Xiu raised his head and glanced at the tall twisted wood, a flash of struggle flashed in his eyes, and finally said in a deep voice, "Get out of here first!"

Sun Ye was taken aback for a moment, and then said unwillingly: "But, the snake ghost is still inside!"

It is difficult to establish trust and friendship between Revenant Hunters, but once the trust is established, they will cherish this friendship very much, because it is one of their few spiritual sustenance and support behind them.

This is the case with Nie Xiu, Sun Ye and Snake Ghost. They have known each other for more than ten years. No matter how cruel they are to other outsiders, at least they can get along with each other tacitly, and they are even willing to make some sacrifices for each other.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the snake ghost to go in and investigate the situation alone. Now that the situation of the snake ghost is unknown, he wants to leave, which makes Sun Ye a little unacceptable.

"Ten minutes have passed, and the snake ghost hasn't even responded to your call. Do you think he might still be alive?"

Nie Xiu's voice was a little low.

"The snake ghost is also my brother, and I want to save him too, but since the danger inside makes the snake ghost unable to even warn the snake ghost, we will only die when we go in,"

"Let's leave first. Although we can't be 100% sure that the worms inside are ice pythons, there is an 80% possibility. This is enough. This news is enough to bring us rich rewards. Let's go to the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce and let us They sent people over to avenge the snake ghost!"

Sun Ye was silent. He took a deep look at the black twisted wood, gritted his teeth, and growled at Jia Tao: "Come and open the way, return the same way!"

Hearing this, Jia Tao's body trembled slightly, his eyes flashed a flash of struggle, the mechanical arm condensed a scarlet energy blade, but instead of chopping the surrounding thorns, he swung his mechanical arm and beat hard on the black twisted tree trunk After a few times, he raised his head and stared at the two of them with a pair of eyes full of hatred and bloodshot eyes, as if they might explode at any time.

Nie Xiu was not surprised by Jia Tao's reaction, he just stared at him coldly.

"Are you sure you want to turn against us here? Without my ability,

You simply cannot leave this swamp. "

Sun Ye raised the revolver in his hand and pointed the muzzle between Jia Tao's eyebrows.

"Go and open the way, or I'll blow your head off!"

"You thought you could leave alive!" A crazy smile appeared on Jia Tao's face.

"In order to deal with you, I implanted a plasma bomb in the mechanical arm! As long as my heart stops beating, it will detonate in a second, and none of you can escape!"

"Come on, shoot! Shoot here!"

Jia Tao took a step forward and put his eyebrows against Sun Ye's gun.

There is no fear in the eyes, only madness!

Plasma Bomb!

The faces of Nie Xiu and Sun Ye changed suddenly. They had seen the terrifying power of plasma bombs before. The blue arc that destroyed everything was completely a noun for death and destruction. Below the third-level defense, there is no possibility of detonation from the plasma bomb. survived.

Surrounded by black thorns, there is absolutely no room for dodging. If a plasma bomb is really detonated, the result will definitely be the end of both.

Looking at Jia Tao's crazy eyes, Nie Xiu grabbed Sun Ye's right hand and moved its muzzle away.

At this moment, Nie Xiu finally knew that, just as he had guessed before, the collaboration between Jia Tao and himself was not an accident, but a long-planned arrangement. It has become an extremely dangerous existence.

Although the plasma bomb is difficult to obtain, from Jia Tao's crazy eyes, he can be sure that Jia Tao should not deceive himself.

It is very possible that a plasma bomb that can kill him is really planted in his arm!

"Jia Tao, don't be impulsive, we can leave here together!"

"If there is any misunderstanding between us, you can tell it. I believe we can solve the misunderstanding. Why are we so tense!"

"Misunderstanding!" Jia Tao stared at him fiercely.

"Three months ago, you invited my sister to hunt insect beasts, but only the three of you came back alive. Come and tell me what kind of misunderstanding it is!"

Nie Xiu's heart sank. These three brothers have been doing a good job of camouflage these years. They teamed up with other people on missions, and basically they were able to come back alive.

But once in a while, they would also do things like murdering their companions and stealing the mission rewards, because their targets were carefully selected and did not have much background, so these things never broke out. Because there is no evidence, let it go. I didn't expect to meet a sufferer here.

"We have sent out several missions in recent months, and most of them were able to return safely. Only one accident caused a hunter named Yue Yuhui to be buried in the mouth of insects and beasts. We don't know if she is your sister, but It was just an accident!"

"That's not an accident!" Jia Tao roared angrily.

"Although I didn't find her body, I found the mechanical arm she left behind. There was a recording device in her mechanical arm, which recorded her death process. She was not killed by worms, she was killed by you After being violated, the corpse was thrown to kill!"

Nie Xiu's complexion finally became ugly. He never thought that the occasional indulgence would fall into the hands of a little girl, and someone recorded the whole process with a recording device.

Seeing Jia Tao's eyes getting more and more dangerous, Nie Xiu's face suddenly changed. He pointed behind Jia Tao and shouted:

"Be careful, the black thorn behind you is alive, it is approaching you!"

Jia Tao's complexion changed, and he was about to say something when he suddenly saw the black thorns behind Nie Xiu and Sun Ye come alive, winding towards them.

The three of them noticed the strangeness behind them at the same time, and they all avoided the entanglement of black thorns, trying to stay away from the approaching black thorns, but the range of avoidance was getting smaller and smaller, and the speed of the black thorns was spreading faster and faster. Lose all hiding space.

Several people dare not be entangled by black thorns at all. With the hardness of these black thorns, once they are entangled, there is no possibility of escape.

There are many plants in the wilderness that will actively hunt. As long as you are vigilant, you can basically escape, but on this small island, it has been surrounded by black thorns, and it is almost impossible to rush out!

Jia Tao tried to swing the energy blade to cut off the approaching black thorns. The thorns that came back to life unexpectedly lost their previous hardness, but became much tougher. There was no force at all when he slashed, and the difficulty of cutting increased linearly. .

Even if one is cut off, it will quickly take root, and more black thorns are still coming.

"What's going on, how did these black thorns survive!"

Sun Ye also noticed that the black thorns had become more difficult to deal with, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes. The snake ghost had just lost contact, and Jia Tao's threat had not yet been lifted. middle.

Nie Xiu suddenly found that the chill penetrating underground was weakening, and the soil, which was difficult to control due to the frost, became controllable.

"Into the tree hole!"

Nie Xiu let out a low growl, his hands suddenly touched the ground, the soil under his feet began to rise slowly, and the body carrying himself and Sun Ye slowly climbed up.

Jia Tao, who was thrown down, looked up, and didn't take the opportunity to attack the two of them, but waved the energy blade in his hand and snorted coldly.

"Dare to drop me, I will detonate the plasma bomb now, everyone will die together!"

Nie Xiu paused for a moment, and then manipulated the soil to lift Jia Tao up together, but at a slower speed than the two.

After rising two meters, Nie Xiu glanced down. The black thorns had already surrounded the black twisted wood, and they were constantly climbing up around the twisted wood.

"They seem to be able to track the breath of flesh and blood!"

Nie Xiu's face became more and more ugly. There were unknown dangers hidden in the tree hole, and there were black thorns entangled outside. There was also a plasma bomb that could be detonated at any time, and the hope of escape became more and more serious. slim.

The soil under their feet continued to rise, Nie Xiu and Sun Ye exchanged a look, and soon approached the top of the twisting log.

Seeing that he could touch the edge of the tree hole at the top of the twisted wood, Jia Tao's feet suddenly softened, and the dirt stairs that spread up collapsed.

Losing the point of leverage, Jia Tao fell on his back, crashing into the clusters of black thorns, and was submerged by the entangled branches of the thorns.

Nie Xiu glanced down vigilantly, seeing that Jia Tao still hadn't detonated the plasma bomb, he cursed secretly.

"Tricked by him, this idiot doesn't have a plasma bomb at all!"

"Get ready to enter the tree hole, beware of being attacked by the ice python!"

Nie Xiu let out a low snort, and directly overcame the soil and sent himself and Sun Ye to the entrance at the top of the tree cave.

Just when the two of them arrived at the entrance of the tree hole, Sun Ye suddenly saw a black muzzle of a gun pressing against his eyebrows, and there was a familiar face behind the muzzle.

Sun Ye was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously called out the other party's name.

"Qi Yuan!"

Qi Yuan smiled slightly.

"Correct answer, I will reward you with a bullet!"

"No!"

Under Sun Ye's horrified roar, Qi Yuan decisively pulled the trigger of the butcher, and an armor-piercing projectile with an annihilation warhead blasted out.

boom!

Sun Ye's head shattered like a watermelon, exploding into a rain of scarlet blood that stained the wriggling black thorns below.

"Sun Ye!"

Nie Xiu's eyes turned red in an instant, and he tried to reach out to catch Sun Ye's fallen body, but it was in vain.

boom!

Under Nie Xiu's rage, the soil under his body suddenly rolled up and spread upward along his body, wrapping Nie Xiu layer by layer like a soil armor, turning into a large terracotta warrior.

"Qi Yuan!"

The clay-cast terracotta warriors roared, and their huge body over four meters tall suddenly stood up, looking down at Qi Yuan who was clinging to the inside of the tree hole.

"I'm going to tear you apart with my own hands!"

Nie Xiu roared angrily and stretched out his right hand to grab Qi Yuan.

Huge palms covered his head like an umbrella, and before he touched Qi Yuan, he heard a dull sound coming from the tree hole!

boom!

The mud-condensed palm shattered, and a gray bullet went all the way up the mud arm, piercing a deep bullet hole, and finally pierced through the shoulder.

One shot made meritorious deeds, but Qi Yuan did not escape the crisis. The clay giant's arm healed quickly and he grabbed it again.

"Oops, the annihilation warhead's main ability breaks the target's defenses and effectively kills the enemy. For such a huge mud giant, it can only cause limited damage and cannot kill the target at all."

Qi Yuan glanced across the body of the clay giant, trying to find the hidden location of Nie Xiu's body.

The clay giant took the opportunity to grab Qi Yuan's right hand and lifted him out of the tree hole.

In front of the huge clay giant, Qi Yuan, who was less than half his height, looked extremely thin.

"I said, I will tear you apart!"

The clay giant roared, stretched out the other hand to hold Qi Yuan's left hand, and pulled hard with both arms, trying to dismember him.

Click!

Under the force, the thick mud arm cracked obvious gaps, but Qi Yuan, who should have been torn apart, was not damaged at all.

"you--"

Seeing Qi Yuan's confident expression, a look of shock appeared on the face of the clay giant

The huge body of the clay body brought nearly second-level strength. Although the strength of the hastily condensed mud body was not enough, it was enough to tear apart a hunter with first-level strength and defense. I didn't expect Qi Yuan to be helpless.

"You don't seem to have enough strength!" Qi Yuan smiled.

"You can't escape my palm!"

Nie Xiu let out a low growl, and the clay giant no longer tore Qi Yuan apart, but put his hands together and pressed him in the palm of his hand. The soil rolled and blended into a coffin, trying to completely squeeze and seal Qi Yuan, suffocating to death.

Seeing that Qi Yuan was about to be completely sealed in the mud, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the mud giant.

"I found you!" The corner of Qi Yuan's mouth suddenly bent into a dangerous arc.

"not good!"

Nie Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad premonition. He was about to control the clay giant to form a coffin and completely seal Qi Yuan, when he suddenly found that the soil in his hands lost control and could no longer be sealed.
