Returning from the abyss

Chapter 542
"...how should I say it?" Mo Lianren turned to look at his team members, "I will not give up and continue the investigation, but I really shouldn't force you to order at this time, after all, you are not real soldiers."

"I am." The white fox replied immediately, "I have no choice to retreat."

Mercy choked.

And Lu Ning also spoke at this time: "I think I understand what Pang Xu meant, but I have to find out. Similarly, you who are not soldiers don't need to follow all the time. It's okay to go back to the camp and guard it." Row."

"This is a difficult choice, captain." Spade grinned, "I want to live in peace, and going in is undoubtedly far away from this goal. But on the other hand, if I don't know anything, I will be killed by the aftermath , I feel pretty bad, too."

"Forgive me...Captain, I hold the opposite opinion." Longmai said suddenly, "It's not that we don't have other clues, and it's not that we have to enter the valley. None of the evidence directly names what is in it, is it? It is not what we want, we can temporarily retreat like the previous advance team, and pass the news to the No. 1 team for analysis. It is not wise to take such a risk now."

"You're right, that's why I gave you the right to choose, Longmai." Lu Ning smiled, "Pang Xu is right about one thing, the matter of moving forward has now become a personal matter, and It's not a team goal, so you don't need to have any psychological burden for choosing."

"In this case, please forgive me for my resignation." Longmai bowed slightly, "I am very clear about my professional field and limitations. I will take unnecessary risks if I continue to move forward, and my skills are not enough. Make sure you get out safely, I'm not going any further."

If one of the dragon veins quits, there will be a second one, and then two people will walk out of Mo Lianren's team, and then there will be insect bait.

"I can't help you, captain." Worm Bait took out a box and handed it to Lu Ning, "I can use a gun, and I can make poison...but I can't fight, and I can only become a drag if I keep walking. And Pang Xu I'm a little afraid of what I said. I can't convince others, but Spider Silk..."

"I'm the only medical soldier left after you leave here." Spider Silk said softly, "At least one rescuer must be left behind."

"I, I see." Insect Bait clenched his fist and took a step back, "Everyone take care!"

As a result, the team lost four people.

People who go back don't need to worry, since they can come over safely, they can return safely.Those who stayed were ready and continued to walk forward.

"pause!"

I don't know how long after the quiet march, the blue bird on the flanks suddenly issued a warning sound, and quickly climbed up a rock.

"Qingniao, report what you find immediately!" Lu Ning shouted.

"I saw it! That guy..."

Blue Bird quickly took pictures, and then sent the pictures back, and everyone immediately saw a scene on the cliff - two pillars of fire connected in the air to form a gate, and several phantom beasts were walking under the pillars of fire.

The two at the door are the most obvious, one tall and thin, with a burning flame like a mane behind it, extending to the triangular head, with six sickle legs spread out on the body, ferocious and sharp.The other one is petite, standing on a rock, with a pair of flipper-like hands, the left half of its body is burning with black fire, and the right half of its body is burning with white fire.

Although there is a big difference in appearance, their most distinctive features have been preserved, and the blue bird saw these two phantom beasts immediately.

"Captain, are they the gatekeeper and the gate opener?" Clarinet was a little surprised, "It seems to be affected a lot by terrain factors. These are probably not the two we expelled."

"The distance is too far to estimate." The white fox adjusted the detection direction of the helmet, "The monsters around are in our data, C-level biological lava thrower."

"Two Bs, three Cs, this is the combat power reflected in the picture." Mo Lianren pondered, "Since we are here, we are ready to fight. But dealing with two B-level creatures at the same time is troublesome enough." Well, no matter what, we have to deal with C-level creatures. Those throwers are good at absorbing geothermal heat and rocks, and then bombard them in a lava state, and the equipment on our bodies will almost die if we take a frontal blow."

"It's okay, let's start the installation." Lu Ning waved her hand, and Spades, Bayonet, Konggu, Recorder and others took out some metal brackets from their backpacks and began to erect simple triangular supports on the ground.It took less than ten seconds for these brackets to be completed, and then everyone took out a metal bucket the size of a can from the carrying items on the side, put it on the bracket, and then pressed the button, and a stick protruded from the bucket. The spikes sank into the ground.

Since tundra condensate has a grenade-like usage, and it is the opposite of a volcano, Lu Ning made some simple injection devices.They cannot be regulated and guided like complete machines, and the only thing they can do is inject all the condensate into the ground.

The effect is obvious. White mist began to appear in the sky, which was caused by the drastic temperature difference. The water in the ground gradually precipitated due to freezing, and was turned into steam by the surrounding heat to float up. It was covered by water vapor, but as the condensate continued to pour in, the cold gradually began to control this area.

Environmental modification level weapons, of course, can be forcibly reversed in any environment. If Lu Ning really builds a tundra injector here, it will be frozen here for at most a month.Now, the effect is also remarkable. The freezing of the ground has begun to extend towards the direction of the cliff, and a crisp sound of water droplets fell on Lu Ning's helmet. The cold, water vapor, and volcanic ash have formed the conditions for rainfall. rain cloud.

"If the ground has no heat to absorb, their proud attack methods will not be effective. We are not afraid of pure rock attacks." Lu Ning raised her head and observed the situation on the cliff through the detector.The Eudemons couldn't comprehend what happened here, they just felt that the surrounding environment was no longer warm and comfortable, and their sight was blocked.

This is not enough to make them vigilant, guarding the fire gate, with two B-level "bosses" behind them. They haven't encountered any danger in the valley for a long time, even the lava giant outside is no match.

The first thrower didn't notice the danger until someone touched his back.The speed of the white fox was extremely fast, as if her honed assassination skills made her jump onto the back of the phantom beast in an instant, a white dagger like a short sword plunged directly from the top of the head, and the whole person hugged the neck and turned half a circle to the ground. The head of the Eudemons was also cut open silently.

"One." She counted silently, and rushed to the next place shown by the detector.

"Assassination—you have no skills and weapons."

1 minute ago, the white fox said so.

"Closely approach, kill with one blow, and then use the same method to solve the next one. I don't look down on you, but no one has this kind of ability, not even the captain."

This is a fact. The army has also taught quiet marching and covert assassination. If the opponent is a human, many people here can barely do it, and the regular soldiers are no problem.But if the opponent is replaced by this kind of phantom beast, he can only weigh it.

"Are you going alone?" Mo Lian asked.

"It's just killing the throwers on the outside, there's no danger." Baihu tapped his waist, "We only have one ranger dagger, it must be this to ensure a quiet one-hit kill, others will inevitably make some noise. "

"B-level Eudemons are likely to monitor the living conditions of their subordinates, so you have to be careful." Lu Ning said, "On the one hand, the guard post is the first cordon, and it may also be a bait."

"Then kill them all the more."

So the white fox quietly touched the cliff. The short-distance climbing is actually less difficult for places with rough terrain. The white fox circles up quickly and kills the thrower faster.

"All three have been resolved, and the B-level has not been alarmed so far."

A voice came from the communicator, and the white fox had completed the first task.

Mo Lianren nodded: "Okay, you leave the cliff, we will lure the two down from below to fight..."

"But it's not just the thrower." The white fox interrupted Mo Lianren, "There are two lizards lying behind!"

In an instant, everyone heard the roar of the beast on the cliff. The strong wind swept by the blade rolled the white mist, showing a clearly visible trajectory. It's not even clear what's going on up there.

"shooting."

The grenade was thrown up the cliff with an arc trajectory, and the powerful frost exploded above, and the blade cut through the cold, but after all, it was hung with a large area of ​​ice, and it began to become inflexible.At the same time, the white fox in the communication spoke again: "Two lizards, the size of a crocodile, have sentience, and their grade should also be C grade."

"They are the hatchlings of primitive eggs." Yanghao said, "They have quite strong environmental adaptation and environmental amplification capabilities. Even if the environment changes, they can quickly mutate into suitable organs. Their genetic composition is extremely unstable. .Be careful!"

A sheet of flame bombs fell from the cliff like a torrential rain, and the "door opener" with black and white flames picked up from the rock, and the fire in both hands extended into the appearance of two cannons.

"It's modern enough..." Spade muttered.

"The advance team must have fought in the valley when they came to the valley, and they retained the memory of the battle at that time." Spider Silk reminded, "Be careful, everyone, the methods we are using now may also—"

Boom, boom.

Two solid fires spewed out from the hand cannon of the person who opened the door, and the state was exactly the same as the grenade fired up just now. Clarinet instantly raised the gun and blasted the two flames in the air. The violent explosion and storm even made everyone panic. Do not hide behind rocks.What's even more frightening is that the freezing degree of the ground around the location of the flame airburst has been greatly weakened.

"Not only the surface, but even the inner core can be imitated?" The voice of the brush was full of mixed emotions of joy and fear, "Being able to simulate the characteristics of an environment modification weapon in such a short period of time is indeed a B-level, no, such an evolutionary ability ..."

"Now is not the time to praise the enemy!" Kong Gu shouted loudly, "Blue Bird! Heavy sniper mode!"

"The adjustment is complete."

Before the words fell, a ballistic trajectory visible to the naked eye appeared in the fog. The speed of the bullet was not even captured by the naked eye. The sound of the bullet's roar was transmitted to the detector when the ring-shaped sonic boom cloud spread in the air.

The person who opened the door leaned back, a large amount of flames spewed from its head, it fell down, and the anti-heavy armored sniper bullet simply penetrated its head, the blue bird opened the magazine with its backhand, a puff of green smoke dispersed, and she immediately put The second shot went in.

"Not dead, everyone be careful!"

She didn't need to remind too much, everyone knew that even a thinly armored tank would be torn apart with a heavy sniper shot, but the person who opened the door only had flames from his head, and nothing happened to his body.

But that's out of the question now, because the gatekeeper has swung his blade straight down the cliff.

This one doesn't have the ability to shift without loss, it's just fast, and it's almost a bright line of fire.Mo Lian gave a soft shout, and all the members of her team unfolded their weapons. The blaster raised two large shields in front of him, and pushed down hard. The shield pierced the ground directly, and the gatekeeper's hand The sharp blades collided violently!
Lu Ning even heard the sound of metal cracking. The two large shields were already crumbling in a single impact, but they blocked it after all.

Mo Lianren swung the epee that was unfolded in his hand, and at the same time, the remaining three team members also raised their weapons, a crescent moon knife, a long halberd and a lance.

Naturally, these people had a lot of experience in close combat with phantom beasts, so they all rushed to the six scythe legs, which were the most threatening part of the gatekeeper.

"Drink!" The Demoman also gave up his shield, took off his warhammer and faced the gatekeeper's head with two hammers, and the gatekeeper, who was a little dazed just now, obviously hadn't reacted yet, and was knocked over by the two hammers body, and just happened to be chopped off by heavy weapons on the limbs unsuspectingly.

Burning blood sprayed out from the severed limb, and this time the surprise attack cut off two sickles, but unfortunately the other two missed the joints, causing the gatekeeper to roll over and get up.

The people on Lu Ning's side opened fire immediately.Even without the special ammunition provided by Wen Beiluo, she had prepared enough armor-piercing bullets and blasting bullets. These bullets with the same name but increasing power with the improvement of technology are still lethal even against B-level phantom beasts.But the gatekeeper also reacted quickly, and as soon as his mind cleared up, he swung his knife foot into an airtight defense, blocking most of the bullets.

"Everyone pay attention to your surroundings!"

The bayonet gave a loud warning, and everyone suddenly noticed that there were weak floating flames in the surrounding places that had been cut by the knife feet. The gatekeeper quickly retreated a certain distance, leaving the area besieged by Mo Lianren and others. A collision in the air wiped out a slightly larger fireball.

"Dodge." Lu Ning said in a deep voice.

The gatekeeper opened his bloody mouth, and spewed out a mouthful of flames towards the fireball in front of him. At the same time, the flames floating in the air seemed to be resonated, and suddenly expanded into large fireballs, shooting out like laser beams in different directions. Same flame!
