Mechanical Flesh

Before setting off, Qi Yuan was going to bring in the tool man Jia Tao, but he was stopped by Luan. Although Luan didn't explain too much, Qi Yuan keenly sensed something was wrong. access, but perhaps some other danger lurks behind it.

There is only one possibility to reject Jia Tao's joining. He is too weak to face this danger with his strength.

Although Luan's hint was not very obvious, the existence that the Spike Hunting Team could treat so cautiously must be more dangerous than the Worm Beast's Nest itself.

The Spike Hunting Team was willing to help themselves for the first time because of observation and assessment, and the second time must be for other reasons.

Otherwise, with the friendship between him and the wolf fang hunting team, it is absolutely impossible to help him with missions again and again.

Even if Xiao Hei lost the bet.

This mission is more like a tacit transaction.

While obtaining the help of the Spike Hunting Team, one must bear the additional danger brought by the Spike Hunting Team.

Qi Yuan also thought about whether he wanted to get involved, but in the end he chose to join.

Luan rejected Jia Tao, but did not reject himself, which means that his strength may be enough to face this danger, and this is still under the condition that the steel self-healing has not been exposed

With the frankness of steel defense combined with the recovery of steel self-healing, his ability to face danger is definitely better than most third-order.

When Qi Yuan drove the iron wolf and rushed out of the steel chariot with the jeeps of the wolf fang hunting team, the undercurrent hidden under the water surface surged again.

In the jeep, Xiao Hei rarely laughed, and his expression looked a little dignified.

To exchange good books, pay attention to the vx public account. [Book Friends Base Camp]. Pay attention now, you can receive cash red envelopes!

"Sister Luan, although Qi Yuan is very powerful, he is only a first-ranker after all. Would it be dangerous for him to be involved in such a thing?"

"maybe."

Luan leaned back on the co-pilot and closed his eyes tiredly.

"I've already given him hints. With his mind, he should have guessed that this task is not just a simple payment task. Otherwise, he would definitely take the initiative to pay the employment fee first."

Listening to the conversation between the two,

Lizi hesitated to speak, Luan noticed that his expression was a little strange.

"Lizi, you can say what you want to say directly. Your shyness should be overcome."

Li Zi blushed, and said weakly: "I feel that Qi Yuan is stronger than when I saw him last time."

Luan's eyes narrowed.

"you sure?"

Although most of Chestnut's abilities are specialized in shadows, he also has an unknown mysterious domain ability - danger perception.

Although the first level of danger perception does not have any substantial improvement in combat power, it can avoid many dangers in special cases.

Chestnut nodded slightly.

"I had this feeling when I met Qi Yuan last time. He was stronger than when we met for the first time. This time is also the same. He is stronger than the last time we met, although he has not crossed the level. The kind of power that he has, but he feels more and more dangerous to me."

"Is he still getting stronger!" Xiao Hei couldn't help but click his tongue.

"When I set off, I even tested it with the insect detector, he is obviously still a first-order!"

In the last battle to exterminate the nest of insects and beasts, the strength Qi Yuan showed was already strong enough. The strength, speed, and defense of the combat domain were almost impeccable. He completely ignored the attacks of the first-order insects and beasts. Melon cut vegetables.

If this strength can continue to grow, I am afraid that when we meet again next time, even without his own help, he will be able to slash the third level head-on and wipe out a nest of insects and beasts alone.

A gleam flashed in Luan's eyes.

"Qi Yuan is not our enemy. In this layout, we can even regard him as our friend. The stronger he is, the more powerful he will be to us."

"Although the informant has already sent the news that the other party is going to attack us again, they are also very vigilant. They may not actually take action in this operation, and it may be just a test."

"When clearing the nest of worms and beasts, Xiao Hei should pay attention to vigilance. Once he finds the trace of the enemy, immediately lock his position!"

Xiao Hei nodded cautiously.

"Don't worry, as long as the other party dares to appear, they will definitely not be able to escape my perception!"

"Should we remind you Qi Yuan?" Li Zi asked in a low voice.

"No!" Luan shook his head lightly. "The fewer people who know about this matter, the better."

"Today's action is nothing more than a test of each other. The real confrontation must be the settlement of the old city."

"If there is no accident, Qi Yuan should have guessed that the captain is observing and assessing him. He is likely to participate in the task of clearing the old city. Our enemies will definitely not let this opportunity pass. strength, maybe give the other party a surprise."

"Since Qi Yuan is so powerful, will the captain leave him the last spot?" Xiao Hei asked suddenly.

Luan thought for a while, then shook his head slightly.

"Although Qi Yuan is very powerful in frontal combat, what we need most is a sniper. Qi Yuan's role already partially overlaps with the captain's, so his combat domain ability will give him extra points, but it is not enough for the captain to make a move. final decision."

"Besides, Ying and Lu Tai's strength may not be weaker than Qi Yuan's. Although they can't kill large groups of worms head-on, they all have the record of killing third-order worms, and they have killed more than one."

"Qi Yuan suffers because he is only at the first level. If he can advance to the second level, his combat ability is strong enough to kill the third-level insects head-on. Whether he has the ability to snipe is not so important. Liao will definitely take the last position. give him."

Xiao Hei shrugged helplessly.

"I think that the next time we see Qi Yuan, he may already be able to kill the third-order insect beast head-on!"

"If this is the case, it is also good news for us. Although there are no snipers, Qi Yuan's strong frontal strength is enough to increase our fault tolerance."

"I think it's more interesting for Qi Yuan to pretend to be a sniper!" Xiao Hei couldn't help laughing.

"Think about it carefully, if the enemy really treats Qi Yuan as a sniper and beheads him in a surprise attack, but after getting close, they realize that they can't beat him at all, and instead get hacked by Qi Yuan, wouldn't it be very interesting!"

Luan turned and looked up at Xiao Hei through the rearview mirror.

"If that time really comes, we will be very happy, because we don't need to allocate extra manpower to protect the snipers behind, but you shouldn't find it very interesting. Think about it for yourself. After Qi Yuan joined the Wolf Fang Hunting Team, Who among us is most likely to be targeted by the enemy?"

Xiao Hei's smile froze instantly!

yes!

If our sniper is Qi Yuan, then my defense is the weakest, and it is logical that I become the primary target to kill.

Coupled with Shining Dawn's powerful attack power, if I were an enemy, I would choose to behead me!

grass!

Just thinking about it casually, I feel like I will die suddenly at any time!

I don't have Qi Yuan's perverted fighting domain ability!

Once you are approached by an enemy, you will probably be caught in an instant!

Thinking of what he might face in the future, Xiao Hei trembled instantly!

Soon, several people arrived at the task point of exterminating the nest of insects and beasts.

Luan got out of the jeep and looked into the distance with a serious expression.

"Recently, the gathering of insect nests has become more and more frequent!"

Qi Yuan nodded approvingly.

"The number of missions to clear the nest of insect beasts is increasing almost every day! Moreover, there are not many hunters who are willing to accept such missions. The Hunter Guild should consider increasing the rewards for completing the missions."

In the past few days, he is also observing the missions released by the Hunters Guild. Near the edge of the blue area, there will be a new mission to destroy the nest of insect beasts almost every day, which means that there will be new insect beasts gathering every day. nest was discovered.

However, the speed at which the steel chariots cleared the nests of insects and beasts was far behind the speed at which the nests of insects and beasts gathered. The most direct consequence was that the number of nests of insects and beasts in the wilderness was increasing, and their locations were increasing. Slowly spread to the depths of the gray area.

The worms and beasts in the wilderness are compressing the area of ​​human activities, the blue area occupied by worms and beasts is expanding, and the gray area occupied by humans is shrinking.

"It's not because of the Hunter's Guild." Luan shook his head lightly.

"I asked the Hunter Guild. Compared with other gathering places, the Hunter Guild's mission rewards on the steel chariot side are actually not low, and even a little higher than other gathering places. The authority points and mission cash rewards are almost They are all the highest amount, plus the purchase price of the corpses of insect beasts, a task of exterminating the nests of insect beasts can basically make a profit of 120,000 to 150,000."

"This kind of profit is not low. Even if all these tasks are rated as C+ level tasks, except for a little more task authority points, the real benefits will not increase much, but those Tier 3 hunters are generally not willing to do it for these tasks. It's just an adventure."

"Why?" Qi Yuan was a little puzzled.

"Isn't it possible to obtain mechanical armament and genetic medicine with the authority points of the Hunter Guild, and can also help them enter the Black Steel Shelter?"

For those Tier 3 hunters, it should be these three things that are really attractive.

"Because the Black Steel Shelter doesn't want too many wilderness refugees to flood into the shelter!"

There was a look of mockery or disdain in Luan's eyes.

"In the eyes of the managers of the shelter, the wilderness humans outside the shelter, including us, are just parasites that need to rely on them to survive. They simply look down on us, so they are unwilling to let mechanical weapons and genetic medicine flow into the wilderness. They are also unwilling to let us enter the shelter, if they don’t need us to clean up the nearby insects and polluters, they will even completely isolate the shelter from the outside.”

"Countless wilderness hunters are eager for what they have in their hands, but they are unwilling to take it out. They only occasionally give a little to let people outside fight for it."

"There are too many people fighting, and too few handouts from the shelters."

"There are dozens of Tier 3 hunters in the Steel Chariot. They have been waiting here for several years, or even decades, to enter the Black Steel Shelter. They have accumulated enough wealth and authority points, but they have never Wait until the opportunity to step into the shelter."

"If you were them, would you still go all out for this illusory opportunity?"

Qi Yuan remained silent. As the mighty power returned to itself, the level gap between human beings has become larger and larger. The threshold of the shelter is enough to keep most wilderness hunters out.

Just like what Luan said, in the eyes of the managers of the shelter, there are no wilderness hunters at all, they are just wilderness refugees.

"Whether it is an ability user or a mechanic, outside the shelter, the third level is the limit level that can be reached. Only by stepping into the shelter can it be possible to step into the fourth level!" Luan said softly.

"So, they blocked not only the qualifications to step into the shelter, but also the future of humans in the wilderness!"

"Black Steel Shelter, how many places will be given to enter the shelter every year?" Qi Yuan asked.

Luan stretched out a finger and shook it.

"One! There are more than 10,000 steel chariots, and every year they compete for a spot in the Black Steel Shelter!"

"Isn't it cruel?"

"What's even more cruel is that we don't have any choice at all. There are only two people who have the courage to refuse the invitation of the Black Steel Shelter over the years. One is the leader of Lingyou, and the other is Master Qu."

Luan turned around and looked at Qi Yuan, and said:

"Although what I said is a bit alarmist, you don't have to worry too much. You are more likely to step into the shelter than anyone else. If Master Qu is willing to recommend you to the biological and mechanical laboratory of the Black Steel Shelter, you are likely to directly recruited into shelters."

Qi Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head.

"If it were really that simple, Master Qu's laboratory would have been overcrowded long ago."

"Let's not talk about that." Luan also smiled.

"Just because of your enthusiasm for exterminating the nests of insects and beasts, I am reluctant to let you enter the shelter. If other hunters can do like you, the boundary line of the gray area can be pushed northward by at least five kilometers every year."

"Lizi, work has started! Detect the number of insects and beasts!"

After hearing that she was called, Li Zi, who had been silent all this time, quickly regained her spirits.

"give it to me!"

The chestnut quickly turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Xiao Hei glanced at Qi Yuan, and silently took out Shining Dawn, without any thought of challenging.

It was already crushed last time, and this time it probably won't be much better.

Soon Lizi emerged from Xiaohei's shadow.

This time, his expression looked a little relaxed.

"Two third-tier worms, seven second-tier worms, and thirty-one first-tier worms! They are much weaker than the last worms that were wiped out."

"It seems that there is no need to waste plasma bombs." Luan shrugged.

She and Lizi can easily deal with the two third-tier worms, but Qi Yuan is not enough to kill the remaining second-tier and first-tier worms by himself.

"Finish the killing early, and call it a day!"

Qi Yuan chuckled, and took the Death Harvest from behind.

"Be careful!" Luan reminded.

Li Zi and Xiao Hei nodded solemnly, everything is possible in the wilderness, and any negligence may cost their lives.

What's more, there is a spy behind the scenes of the Spike Hunting Team in the dark.

Xiao Hei took out a few black high-explosive bombs from the back seat of the jeep and handed them to Li Zi.

"Although there is no need to waste plasma bombs, you can still prepare a few high-explosive bombs first!"

Holding the high-explosive bomb, Xiao Hei glanced at Luan, then turned into a shadow and dissipated.

"Come without shadow, go without trace, Lizi's ability is very useful!" Qi Yuan praised.

"Your Combat Domain ability is enough and strong enough. We all envy you, so don't envy Lizi!" Xiao Hei couldn't help but complain.

"People always have dreams!" Qi Yuan said with a light smile.

Before the words fell, the flames of the explosion of the high-explosive bomb shot up into the sky instantly, and the whole ground seemed to vibrate.

boom! boom! boom!

The crimson flames erupted from the ground like a volcano. Although it was not as terrifying as the thunder of the plasma bomb, the power of the three consecutive explosions was equally shocking.

Thousands of meters away underground, a figure in a camouflage uniform emerged from the ground, a man with a vulture face. He had dark green eyes, like a poisonous snake ready to go.

Through the binoculars, the man saw the flames soaring into the sky, the swarms of insects and beasts swarming out, and Qi Yuan and others going upstream. The green light in his eyes slowly flowed.

"The hunt has begun!"

The corner of the man's mouth raised slightly, and then he dived into the ground again and started to act.
