Mechanical Flesh

The last worm beast was blasted by Qi Yuan with a butcher, and the task of clearing it this time also came to an end.

Qi Yuan stood in the middle of the corpses all over the floor, panting slightly. Although the first-order worms could not break through the first-order steel defense, those second-order worms were somewhat dangerous, and could even break through his defense.

Fortunately, the speed of steel is strong enough, as long as the attack on the vital parts is avoided, other injuries are not to be feared at all.

"How about it, is it better?"

Qi Yuan glanced at Xiao Hei, Shining Dawn was indeed very strong, and had snatched many insect and beast heads, but compared to his own slashing speed, it was not worth mentioning at all.

Of the ten second-order insect beasts, except for the two that were killed by the plasma bomb, six of the remaining eight died under his knife, and only two were shot through the heart by Xiao Hei.

As for the remaining dozens of first-order insect beasts, it is a mess, but judging from the integrity of the remaining corpses, more than two-thirds of the corpses have already been dismembered by sabers.

Xiao Hei glanced at him resentfully, as if saying: You are cheating!

It wasn't until Luan and Li Zihe approached that Xiao Hei put Shining Liming back in the holster, and spread his hands resignedly.

"I admit defeat! I owe you a mission."

Qi Yuan, who had successfully prostituted himself for nothing, smiled and said:

"It's better to hit the day than to choose the day. How about paying off the debt today?"

Xiao Hei stared at Qi Yuan with wide eyes, as if looking at a monster, and held back a word for a while.

"Does the worm have any enmity with you?"

The Spike Hunting Team also had the experience of continuous combat, but it was only when they had to.

Continuous high-intensity combat not only destroys the fighter's body, but also destroys a person's will.

"Today's time is too late, I suggest going in a few days." Luan glanced at Qi Yuan, and then said:

"Also, your wound also needs to be treated."

Although Qi Yuan blocked the impact of dozens of worms with one person,

And killed them all, but after all, it was only a first-order steel defense, so it still left wounds all over its body, and it still looked a little hideous.

Qi Yuan moved his body a little bit. Although his body looked scarred, but because he avoided the vital parts, the injury was not serious, and he had already used the frost stored in the energy heart to freeze those bleeding wounds, so Not even much blood was lost.

"Then continue tomorrow?" Qi Yuan glanced at Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei looked at Luan speechlessly, and then said helplessly:

"I won't renege on my debt. You can rest for a few more days. I don't want to see you die suddenly during the mission."

Qi Yuan shrugged his shoulders and could only wait a few more days.

Generally, no one is willing to accept this kind of task, so there is no need to worry about being preempted by others and wasting a chance to sign in.

After the injury recovers, the next check-in will only be easier.

After catching Xiao Hei, he also captured the Wolf Fang Hunting Team. Although the Worm Beast's Nest that he signed up for this time was the most powerful of the Worm Beasts, with the help of Luan and others, it was also the easiest once.

As long as someone helps to contain those third-order worms, ordinary first- and second-order worms will not be able to pose a threat to themselves.

Xiao Hei and Jia Tao silently cut up the corpse of the insect beast, while Qi Yuan took the opportunity to enter the empty underground cave, completed the sign-in, and obtained a talent point again.

There were a large number of war worms, and the harvest was quite rich. In addition to a pile of blood-stained broken limbs, Luan tied the third-order worms captured alive to the roof of the car.

"If you have no objections, these things can be handed over to us to deal with. According to the rules of the wilderness, we will share the spoils of this mission equally."

"I have no objection." Qi Yuan said.

Selling these things into the Black Steel Shelter could bring good profits, but Ling You didn't have much interest, and didn't open up the purchase of insect corpses, nor restricted other people from purchasing them.

Therefore, the two chambers of commerce of the steel chariot are the main merchants who buy the remains of these insects and beasts, and a few will flow into the studios of Master Qu and others.

Although the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Futu Chamber of Commerce have good reputations and will not tamper with acquisitions, it is the nature of merchants to habitually lower prices. Even those senior third-tier hunters will inevitably be lowered when trading.

Only when facing the two hunting teams of Spike Fang and Thunder Scorpion, the two chambers of commerce not only would not lower the price, but also intentionally raised the price. This was a kind of tacit understanding between them.

Qi Yuan glanced at the worm beast who was unconsciously tied to the roof of the car with an iron ring around its neck.

"What is this big guy doing back home?"

"Limb transplant surgery." Luan said lightly.

"After the death of the insect beast, the physical activity will be greatly reduced, and only the body can undergo limb transplantation."

"Like the arm of the bloody hand?" Qi Yuan asked.

"That's right." Luan nodded.

"Limb transplant surgery is very risky, but those guys who have no hope of advancing and don't want to give up their flesh and blood, many of them will use this method to improve their strength."

"Steel Chariot has a guy who can perform surgery, a third-order worm ** suitable for transplantation, and the price is basically more than 100,000."

Thinking that the arm of the bloody hand can block the attack of the annihilation warhead, Qi Yuan vaguely understood the choice of those people.

Compared with the difficult-to-buy genetic agents and mechanical armaments, transplanting the limbs of third-order insect beasts is obviously a shortcut to gain stronger power.

Qi Yuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"I want to change my knife, is there any place I can recommend?"

Although the horse-chopping knife obtained from Luo Kui's corpse licking the bag is also a good knife, it is a bit difficult to face the carapace of the second-order insect beast. Not on his strength.

Luan's eyes suddenly became strange.

"With your melee strength, you are more than enough to be an assaulter. Why do you want to be a part-time sniper?"

Qi Yuan laughed.

"Isn't there too many worms and beasts! I can also hack Tier 2 now, but Tier 3 is still a bit difficult. If I want to deal with Tier 3, I have to use Death Harvest plus armor-piercing bullets."

Listening to Qi Yuan's explanation, Luan didn't say a word for a long time.

In the entire steel chariot, apart from those senior third-tiers, how many people have you seen dare to attack third-tier insect beasts?

You are a Tier 1, why do you think about cutting Tier 2 and killing Tier 3 all day long!

Can't you just play with first-order worms honestly!

Xiao Hei lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking, but from the shape of his mouth that kept opening and closing, it could be vaguely judged that he seemed to be swearing.

After a long time, Luan finally spoke:

"What weapon do you want, an energy weapon, or a physical weapon?"

"What's the difference?"

"Both weapons have their own advantages." Luan thought for a while, then said slowly.

"Ordinary energy weapons have powerful cutting and destructive power. Even if the target has the ability to strengthen defense, it is difficult to resist the attack of energy weapons."

"And energy weapons are lightweight and can do a lot of damage, even if they aren't powerful."

"But the disadvantage of energy weapons is also obvious, that is, the energy consumption is very huge. Like the energy weapons loaded by Jia Tao's mechanical arm, although the space of the mechanical arm is used to store multiple backup energy sources, the continuous fighting time will not exceed Half an hour, if it was the high-intensity battle you just had, the duration would be even shorter."

"As for physical weapons, their destructive power mostly depends on the strength of the user. Some physical weapons can even increase their destructive power by increasing their weight."

"Ability users with insufficient strength rarely choose physical weapons, but for powerful ability users, if they use those special physical weapons, the destructive power will not be weaker than energy weapons."

Qi Yuan frowned slightly. He originally preferred energy weapons, but the endurance of energy weapons was an unavoidable problem.

"With your strength, if you can't get a real mechanical armed energy weapon, I suggest you use a physical weapon." Luan said softly.

"North District, 25 Oak Street, there is a workshop for custom weapons, I think it should be able to meet your needs."

25 Oak Street.

Qi Yuan repeated, and found that the address was somewhat familiar.

"Is this Master Qu's studio?"

"That's right." Luan nodded.

"The weapons made by Master Qu are very popular in steel chariots. Most third-tier hunters want to own a weapon customized by Master Qu, but Master Qu has a bad temper and will not easily accept orders for custom weapons, so he has There aren't many hunters with custom weapons."

"If you want, I can help you to say hello, but whether you can convince him to customize a handy weapon for you, you still have to negotiate with him yourself."

"also."

Qi Yuan nodded, Master Qu's studio is not far from his residence, but the two sides have not dealt with each other yet.

"I'll go tomorrow, and I hope he won't throw me out."

Xiao Hei and Jia Tao had already disposed of the corpses of the insects and packed them into the jeep.

"It's time to go. I'll contact you when you recover from your injury," Xiao Hei said.

Qi Yuan smiled.

"Will it be better next time?"

Xiao Hei's face darkened, if you don't use a knife, I will compete with you!

"No comparison, it's boring!"

The five people drove away together, leaving broken corpses all over the ground. It won't take long for the strong smell of blood to attract more worms, and these corpses will also become food for the rest of the worms.

Thousands of meters away from the insect's lair, in the rocky jungle, a shadow suddenly came alive and turned into a figure hidden in the shadow. He was observing the insect through the scope of the sniper rifle. The direction in which the nest is located.

Through the scope, one could clearly see a green crosshair vaguely appearing in his pupils.

He was lying on a rock, motionless, like a dark stone, until a jeep passed by in the distance, he suddenly turned into a shadow, disappeared from the rocky jungle, and when he reappeared, he was already sitting in the back of the jeep seat.

The driver was a man with an eagle face, and the co-pilot sat a middle-aged man with an old face but very sharp eyes.

"Ying, you have been observing for so long, how is the situation?" the middle-aged man with sharp eyes asked in a deep voice.

Eagle closed his eyes, as if he was still remembering that unimaginable battle. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and restored the scene he saw.

After the middle-aged man finished listening, he couldn't help frowning.

"You mean, the main ability of this abyss is not sniping, but fighting domain?"

"That's right!" Eagle said hoarsely.

"We were all deceived by the Death Harvest behind his back. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, no one would have believed that his close combat strength would be so powerful!"

With the help of the scope and the ability of ultra-long-range vision, the eagle watched the entire battle process. The scene of Abyss killing dozens of worms by himself brought him a powerful shock. He still can't believe it. A Tier 1 can kill dozens of worms so easily without relying on mechanical weapons, and there are even a few Tier 2 worms among them.

There are very few people in the entire steel chariot with this strength, except for the fangs and scorpions, there are only a few experienced third-tier hunters who barely have this strength.

The middle-aged man turned his head slightly with a serious expression.

"The abyss is only the first level. We have confirmed this when he set off. Are you sure you saw him?"

Ying breathed out a foul breath, and said slowly: "It must be him!"

While speaking, the jeep drove several people to the battlefield near the nest of insects and beasts. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, the three of them fell silent at the same time.

The middle-aged man carefully inspected the corpses of several insect beasts, and said to himself:

"A sniper who is stronger in close combat than sniping..."

"How can this kind of person be a sniper, he should be an assaulter!"

"Are you sure he's also one of the candidates for the last team member of the Wolf Fang?"

"I'm sure." Eagle sneered.

"If it wasn't for observing the abyss, how could people from the Wolf Fang Hunting Team accept this kind of task!"

"This man is more threatening than Lu Tai, he must be killed!"

"Although Abyss's sniper ability is not as good as Lu Tai's, his close combat ability can add a lot of points. Judging from the staffing of the Spike Hunting Team, this kind of sniper does not need the support of teammates, and can even serve as an assaulter. Even more suited to their needs than a pure sniper."

The middle-aged man was silent for a while, and said slowly: "If the melee strength of this abyss is really as powerful as you said, killing him will not be an easy task."

"Unless you are sure to kill him with one blow, it's best not to alarm him. The Bloody Hand Gang is a living example."

"What should we do now?" There was a hint of hatred in Eagle's eyes.

"We have spent so much to get to where we are today. There must be no surprises in this last step."

"The recruitment task of the Wolf Fang Hunting Team will not exceed one month at most, and will be released to the public, and the test task will also be carried out at the same time. If these competitors cannot be resolved—"

Eagle didn't go on. Whether it's Lu Tai or this abyss, since they can be selected by the Spike Hunting Team as the observation target of the sniper, it means that their strength meets the selection criteria of the Spike Hunting Team.

Even he was not too sure that he could completely overwhelm the two of them in the trials of the old city and become a member of the Wolf Fang hunting team.

"These two unexpected factors must be eliminated!" The middle-aged man's eyes flashed fiercely.

"The question now is not how to kill them, but how to kill them without arousing the suspicion of the Spike Hunting Team."

"The members of the Spike Hunting Team are not fools. If they shot at such a critical moment and the two of them had accidents at the same time, they would definitely suspect you. With Yi Liao's character, as long as you have the slightest suspicion, he would rather have the sniper position vacant than will let you join."

"Don't act rashly in this matter, I will find a way to solve it, this time we will definitely let you become a member of the Spike Hunting Team."
