Struggle in the Steam Age

After hearing the shrill scream, Lawrence immediately gave up picking up the rifle that was closer to the building and retreated quickly. At the same time, the bullet nests were set out immediately to load the exorcism bullets one by one.

Just when he loaded the bullets, the wall on the third floor of the building exploded directly, and then a humanoid monster as tall as a person jumped out of the hole like a Charged over where Lawrence was.

"Boom, boom, boom—" Although he couldn't see the monster clearly because of the short distance, Lawrence still aimed at the monster's head and pulled the trigger. With his marksmanship, all 10 bullets hit the monster's head. But the strange thing is that even after being hit by a full 10 rounds of exorcism bullets, the monster still walked towards Lawrence firmly step by step.

"This is?" After the monster approached, Lawrence realized that the monster looked like a mouse that had enlarged and stood upright. The only difference from ordinary monsters is that the monster in front of it seems to be a mass of living transparent gel, which looks like a piece of red agate carved out of it.

"This is definitely not a low-level creature like a slime or an ooze monster." Lawrence thought while fighting back, because although those monsters looked like a pool of gel, they were all wriggling forward and would never make a move. Now this bouncing motion.

After the monster approached, Lawrence discovered some incongruities: the monster's transparent body was wrapped with fist-sized black solids, just like the contents of the amber.

At the same time, he also observed that these solids were very incongruous in the monster's body, and they didn't look like the original organisms in the monster's body. And they seriously affected the monster's actions.

"Boom, boom." As the monster approached further, Lawrence pulled the trigger with both hands at the same time, and the last two bullets in the pistol flew towards the monster's head. After the two bullets hit the monster's head, they easily flew into the monster's body, but because of the toughness of the monster's internal tissues, these bullets could not move forward until they flew to the middle of the monster's head.

The moment the two bullets stopped, the two exorcism bullets embedded in the monster's head shone white light. These white lights made the transparent red gel in the monster's body solidify quickly, and finally turned into two fist-sized black solids.

Although this monster looks like a gel monster, it doesn't mean it has no weaknesses like the gel monster. Lawrence saw that as the gel wriggled in the monster's body, the bullet holes that had been punched out slowly shrank and then disappeared. At the same time, the black solid formed by the two balls of exorcism bullets was transferred to other parts of the body by it.

Obviously, although the enchanted bullet cannot completely kill the monster, it can cause wounds that are difficult to heal in a short time. So it can only maintain combat effectiveness by transferring injured parts to unimportant places.

Of course, this was not a good thing for Lawrence, especially after he stopped shooting, the monster's forward speed suddenly accelerated a lot, from the normal walking speed of humans just now to almost running.

Fortunately, it was unknown whether it was the result of the attack just now or the limitation of the monster itself. It only reached the highest speed in a straight line. Once it needs to turn, the speed of this monster will drop greatly.

After discovering this, Lawrence reloaded the empty pistol while running in a zigzag. Fortunately, his pistol revolver is a new type of pistol with the revolver swinging to the left and can be directly ejected through the pull rod. If Lawrence, the old-fashioned pistol that was ejected and reloaded one by one, could be given up now.

In the process of chasing and escaping, the monster also shot balls the size of ping pong balls filled with blood-red liquid from its head. However, since the monster's head would sparkle before each launch, Lawrence easily avoided these attacks.

When those blood-red balls that missed hit the ground, they corroded fist-sized pits one after another on the ground, which looked like the effect of [Acid Arrow]. At the beginning, Lawrence was a little slow to dodge, and as a result, several splashes of liquid directly corroded fingertip-sized black marks on his boots and coat.

Naturally, Lawrence wouldn't just take the beating and not fight back. He also tried to fight back with the spells he mastered. After trying the magics he had mastered one by one, he found that neither [acid splash] nor [strike undead] had any effect, that is to say, even if the thing chasing behind looked like some kind of undead creature, in fact Not really.

The good news is that the [Magic Missile] spell has a great effect, probably because of the invulnerability talent of the Bai Ze bloodline. And when the magic missile attacked, Lawrence noticed that the monster behind was not like its gel monster, whose body parts could move freely. Instead, it looked like some kind of creature with bones. limit.

"What on earth is this?" Lawrence felt at a loss, because he had never heard of the existence of such a monster. However, this did not affect his work. Soon the two guns were reloaded, and Lawrence turned around and started shooting again. Only this time, instead of aiming at the monster's head, he aimed at the joints of the monster's limbs and pulled the trigger.

This time the effect was obvious. The black solid condensed on the joints obviously hindered the monster's movement, making it stagger in its pursuit. When all the bullets in the cylinder were fired, Lawrence found that the monster couldn't even keep itself stable.

However, he also found that the black solid formed by those bullets before was a circle smaller than when it was formed just now, which also showed that the monster could slowly wear away the disadvantages brought to him by these things.

Seeing this scene, Lawrence threw the empty pistol aside, took out a crowbar from the interspatial pocket with his right hand and swung it towards the monster's knee, and at the same time grabbed a tube of holy salt from his waist belt with his left hand and sprinkled it on the monster. the same location.

The holy salt touched the monster's right knee first, and the moment these things touched, a large body near the knee turned into a black solid. Then Lawrence slightly avoided the monster's swing towards his head, the arm that became like a forearm of a mantis swung his right hand vigorously and hit the monster's knee.

"Crack." With this crisp sound, Lawrence felt as if he had hit a piece of wood. After a slightly embarrassing roll to avoid the monster, he twisted his body and swung his left arm, he saw the monster's right leg broke directly from the knee, and then staggered and fell to the ground.

Although he didn't know why the monster was so rigid in the attack that he easily broke his knee, Lawrence didn't miss this good opportunity. He took out the reagent bottles containing holy salt and exorcism powder from his waist and picked them apart with his thumb, and then sprinkled them on the monster that fell on the ground.

As more and more potions were sprinkled, the hardened places on the monster's body also continued to increase, and then Lawrence stepped forward to knock open those solidified places with the crowbar in his hand. In the process, the monster has no way to fight back except to lie there and release those corrosive red balls.

Every structure on the monster's body will quickly harden, turn black and lose its vitality after being separated from the main body. After Lawrence cleaned up the monster's limbs, a golden object slowly appeared on the monster's chest.

The following time was a boring tug-of-war. The whole space could only hear the "bang bang" sound produced by Lawrence wielding a crowbar and hitting the monster's body, and occasionally the monster's failed counterattack caused the blood-red ball to fall to the ground. The barking sound produced by corroding the stone floor.

Finally, the battle is over. With the last blow of the stick, the upper half of the remaining monster that became like a black stone shattered, and the phantom of Bai Ze in Lawrence's mind also absorbed the soul floating out of the monster's body. It's just that what he didn't expect was that there were so few souls, not even as many as the souls of the dire rat just now.

"It seems that if you want to know the answer, you have to go up and have a look." Lawrence looked at the big hole in the building that was just blasted out by the monster.
