Nine idlers

Hearing Xu Changqing's warning, the five-person team immediately became cautious, and formed a well-trained defensive formation. They took out various weapons from their bodies and looked around cautiously. Soon, the five people's eyes were fixed on A crack in the ceiling not far away.

Although Xu Changqing on the side felt something was wrong, but this feeling was only caused by the fact that he fell into a desperate mood just now, so he judged that he had just been tricked invisibly, and the person who made the trick was in this warehouse.But the problem is that he didn't find the location of the mover. Even under his spiritual inspection, he didn't find any abnormalities around him. On the contrary, it was the actions of the five-member team that made him aware of it, so he found the top Anomalies at the breach.

Looking in the direction of the line of sight of the group of five, Xu Changqing quickly found the target, which was a vine as thick as the root of an old tree.I saw that this vine extended from the gap, and then split into countless branches, covering the gap like a creeper, forming a pattern of a human face, and the gap happened to be the forehead of the human face. , looks like a vertical eye, and a coquettish big red flower blooming on the vine is the vertical eye pupil.

Even if he found the target, Xu Changqing still couldn't find anything abnormal about the target from other methods such as divine thoughts, as if this vine was just an ordinary vine.If it wasn't for the red flowers on the vine trembling slightly when Xu Changqing's divine sense probed the past, and the despair that had affected Xu Changqing before happened to come from the bottom of his heart, I'm afraid he would have doubted himself if he hadn't found evidence for a long time Judgment is wrong.

After discovering the target, Xu Changqing's mind was not completely focused on this weird target, but more on the five-member team at the side, because the performance of the five-member team surprised him, or more correctly In other words, the technological equipment on the five-member team is surprising.

Xu Changqing was considered an enlightened man in China back then and learned a lot of western knowledge from missionaries. According to the standards at that time, he was definitely the top scientific and technological scholar.It's just that he finally took another path and left the secular world for decades, and these decades.Technology has become a part of the power of humanity in the secular world, and its development speed is far beyond Xu Changqing's imagination, even though he thinks the level of technology in the world today is very high because of the various things he encountered before.It is so high that it is almost on par with those ancient avenues, but in some small details, he still underestimates the capabilities of today's technology.

Just now, he thought that the eyes on the weird mask were just to help the user gain the ability to see in the dark.But looking at it now, he realized that he had far underestimated the usefulness of the pair of red glasses on the mask.Obviously, seeing things clearly in the dark is only one of the abilities of the lens, and it seems to have other abilities, such as finding that kind of monster that even the detection of divine sense cannot find.

"How do we solve this thing now?" Wang Weiguo asked, pointing at the vine with the weapon in his hand.

"It's the first time I've seen this thing, and I don't know its details. Judging from the known situation, this thing has some resistance to my magic power. In addition, it can also use some methods to arouse the hidden negative emotions in people's hearts. Such as despair, disgust, etc., and magnify this negative emotion to affect people's behavior." Xu Changqing explained the situation truthfully.Proposed: "My suggestion is that you take action, and I will support it, so as to observe the weakness of this thing."

Hearing Xu Changqing's proposal, the group of five nodded and agreed without thinking too much.Seeing this, Xu Changqing moved to the other side silently, so as not to affect the actions of the five people. At the same time, he focused most of his attention on the vine and the group of five, and gathered mana around him. Always ready to take action to deal with possible accidents.He didn't make a move not because the vine was really powerful, but because the performance of the vine made him unable to be sure whether there were other unknowable powerful monsters around.It would be bad for him to act rashly.

After Xu Changqing vacated the field, the five-person team immediately started to act. They changed their formation skillfully, and they no longer curled up in a ball like before.Instead, they each moved to the maximum distance that could meet each other, allowing the entire formation to expand to the point where it could cover the vine face at the top.Afterwards, each of them took out a small bottle, and quickly withdrew the bullet from the gun in their hand, then evenly spread the oil-like liquid in the small bottle on the bullet, and reloaded the bullet.

After getting ready.After a few people nodded, Tie Chengjun raised the gun in his hand, aimed at the eye-catching big red flower on the vine, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Because of the muffler, the gunshots were not very loud, but the flickering flames of the gunpowder were more obvious. More than a dozen bullets rushed out of the muzzle one after another, flying towards the target.Although the bullets were fired very fast, the vines seemed to be moving faster. The strands of hair vines closest to the vertical face of the vine man on the top wall instantly moved to the front of the red flower, and at the same time coiled into a shield, covering those The bullet was blocked.

At the moment when the vine made a defensive move, Xu Changqing had a smile on his face, because he already knew how the vine avoided his divine sense, and at the same time figured out what kind of monster the vine was, and the threat he felt in his heart also It has been lowered by more than half, and it is no longer as tense and wary as before, but it is a little more relaxed to watch the show.

At this time, other people also started to pull the trigger, and moved their positions at the same time, releasing the bullets from the gun on the vine from all directions.

Facing attacks from all directions, the branches of the vines formed various shields, protecting the red flower layer by layer, and branched out into countless tiny branches, shooting back at the five people like sharp arrows.

Although the blood power of the five-person team is very strong, their physical strength is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary elite fighters, and it is far from reaching the strength of Xu Changqing's inhuman physical body.When dealing with the dense attacks above their heads, they dodged very awkwardly. At first, they were able to fight back, but later on, they couldn't even fight back, so they could only dodge with all their strength. kill attack.But even so, the space for them to avoid is under the intentional control of the vines, and it shrinks a little bit. It won't be long before they can no longer dodge the attack, and they can only resist it. No matter how they look at it, their situation is not good.

It stands to reason that Xu Changqing should make a move at this time, but Xu Changqing can see from the actions of these five people that they are not as nervous and flustered as imagined, but rather confident, as if confident that the final victory belongs to them.Reminiscent of the liquid they smeared on the warhead, Xu Changqing felt that things should change.

Just when the five of them gathered together again, and the vine face was completely untied, and it looked as if it was about to launch the final attack, a sense of defeat suddenly emerged from the wounds caused by the bullets on the vine, and followed I saw a layer of withered yellow rapidly expanding from the wound, devouring the vitality contained in the original vines, and the part of the vine covered with withered yellow withered as if it had been baked dry.

The withered yellow expansion was extremely fast, but it covered all the small branches in a moment and began to infect the main trunk.The vines had already sensed the danger, so they didn't bother to attack the group of five anymore, and turned their efforts to stop the withered yellow from spreading to the main trunk, and strands of vitality began to emerge on the main trunk of the vines, forming layers of gorgeous patterns. The branch moves past.However, what that withered yellow color represented was very powerful. Although the power of vitality played a certain role in preventing it, it could not be dispelled, it could only be temporarily blocked.

At this time, the five-member team did not stop to watch the show, and continued to shoot the bullets in the gun that had been wiped with liquid on the vines, aggravating his injuries.

Perhaps this vine has a lot of wisdom and can judge that the situation is not good for it. It immediately cut off all its withered branches like a gecko, protected the main trunk and the big red flower with all its vitality, and quickly retracted. Once inside the crack, the short but fierce battle stopped as a burst of dust and debris fell from the crack.

The five-member team didn't shoot, but they didn't let down their vigilance either. After quietly guarding for a while, they walked under the crack carefully, looked into the crack for a while, and then put away their weapons under the command of Wang Weiguo's gestures.

"Mr. Xu, why didn't you stop that monster just now?" Wang Weiguo walked up to Xu Changqing and asked with some dissatisfaction.

Facing the questioning, Xu Changqing chuckled and asked back: "Isn't your mission to retrieve the weapons left here? When did you come here to kill demons?"

Wang Weiguo hesitated for a moment, and said: "I'm just worried that this monster escaped, which may cause unnecessary trouble for our next actions."

"Don't worry, that thing just now is called the vine. It's not harmful in itself, but it emits a kind of odorless and tasteless pollen when it blooms. This kind of pollen can be used to make a kind of elixir specially to help ascetics temper their hearts .This monster has some intelligence and knows how to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. Once injured, it will run away far away, and it will remember the breath of the person it hurts, so it will not appear in its surrounding area."

Hearing this, Ding Hongmei was a little worried and said, "This monster is very dangerous. If it escapes from here, it will harm the people around the Qinling Mountains..."

"Don't worry, this monster has a peaceful temperament and is not aggressive. Even if it fights back, it will not harm its life. It will only make the attacker unconscious for a period of time, so that it can escape calmly."

"Not aggressive! Then what happened just now?" Everyone was stunned when they heard Xu Changqing's words.

Xu Changqing smiled and said, "It seems that you were the ones who attacked first, but it was just fighting back."

The group of five felt dumbfounded for a while, and even had the urge to yell at Xu Changqing. If it wasn't for Xu Changqing, they would have attacked that monster. (~^~)
