Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 147 The First Enemy
"That's well said, let the whole **** be smashed to pieces, whoever loves the other's balls!" The old dog said viciously, took off a grenade hanging under the shoulder armor, and held it in his hand.

"I'm not really scared, but the air permeability of this iron skin is really poor, and it's uncomfortable." Zhuolige Tuweng said, through the visor of the helmet, it can be seen that the Mongolian man's forehead is covered with beads of sweat.

"Sorry, time is tight, and I don't have time to install an air-conditioning system, buddy, bear with it." Layton said with some embarrassment, "If it's really not possible, you can open the mask, the radiation value in this tunnel is not high, There’s no toxicity in the air, and the oxygen levels are decent.”

"Say it earlier." Hearing what Layton said, the old dog couldn't wait to pull off his mask, but just after he took a breath of air in the tunnel, his brows frowned...

"A very strong bloody smell, the more you go inside, the more obvious the smell." The old dog said in a low voice.

"It's expected. After all, hundreds of people died inside." Ke Lan said as he pushed forward slowly.

"No... the smell of blood is a bit strange, it doesn't smell like a human." The old dog's huge nose moved a few times, "It's very strange, but I can't tell where it is. All in all, be careful."

The team advanced another 50 meters. At this moment, Ke Lan raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

"The interference here is already very serious. None of the detection equipment on my body can work normally. Change the formation, old dog, Asano, it's up to you."

"Okay." Akira Asano, who hadn't spoken much in the past few days, finally spoke once, and walked to the forefront of the team holding the scabbard.

The old dog moved to Asano Akira's right side, and put his left arm equipped with a shield generator across his body in order to deal with the killer move that might strike at any time in the darkness.

Ke Lan, who was replaced in the center of the formation, held up the searchlight and adjusted the brightness to the maximum, but even so, the light of the searchlight could only reach a distance of less than 30 meters - Leviathan's body tissue seemed to be able to absorb the surrounding environment by itself The energy contained in it, even lights are included, and scholars who study Leviathan call this phenomenon "Leviathan black hole", which means "even light cannot escape from it".

For Ke Lan, this place is somewhat similar to the deep sea where light cannot penetrate, but at least there is no terrifying water pressure like the deep sea here, and there is no deadly poison in the air.

"The smell of blood has been getting stronger." The old dog said in a low voice, his tone was unusually serious.

"It's still 120 meters away from where the previous batch of hunters and unknown creatures encountered—" Ke Lan hadn't finished speaking, when there was a sudden piercing sound in the darkness!
"Enemy attack!" Shouted Akira Asano, but instead of hiding behind the old dog, he took a step forward and drew his long knife out of its sheath——

"噗——" the high-speed flying acid was directly cut by the war blade, half of it was thrown on the rock wall above his head, and half of it fell in the middle of the energy shield that the old dog had just opened.

"Chi..." A few wisps of white smoke suddenly rose from the place where the rock wall was in contact with the acid, and a ball of dazzling fire flashed on the surface of the energy shield, and the acid was immediately burned up. net.

"The vanguard engages the enemy! The energy shield is effective! Akira Asano retreats immediately, and the hound fires flares! Layton, Zoligetu, suppress fire!" According to the plan made before going down the well, Ke Lan issued one order after another in an orderly manner, "Keep advancing! The energy shields of the Hound and Layton are forward alternately. Be careful not to create a gap. Zhuo Ligetu and I are going to make up for it. Something that moves is within 20 meters!"

The flash bomb fired by the hound exploded in front, and the strong light released fully revealed the thing hidden in the darkness... Just as they had guessed before, this is a monster similar to a humanoid, with a body structure Almost exactly the same as human beings, torso, limbs, hands and feet, even...

"Even the distribution of muscles protruding under the skin is no different from that of a human body..." Ivan took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

However, the biggest difference between these creatures and humans is...they don't have heads.

"I sort of understand what that messy 'hair' is on the survivor's graffiti..." The hound spat forcefully, then closed the helmet's visor.

These creatures have no heads, replaced by a group of pale and swollen fleshy tentacles resembling sea anemones.

This group of tentacles grows from their necks, which makes Ke Lan and the others think of the containers parasitized by the eroded seeds again... But obviously, these things in front of them are completely different from the eroded seeds creature.

In the center of the group of tentacles, there was a gap about two centimeters in diameter. Whenever the muscles around the gap twitched a few times, a stream of acid would spurt out of the gap and shoot towards Ke Lan and the others in the distance.

There are six "sea anemone head" monsters, about 80 meters away from Ke Lan and others. According to the calculation of the Power Armor Tactical Assistance System, the initial velocity of the acid they spit out has exceeded eight times the speed of sound, even if it is just a mouthful. Spit is enough to pierce a head without a helmet.

Only a freak like Akira Asano can cut open with a knife during flight...

"These things make me feel uncomfortable when I look at them... especially on the neck, I always feel itchy..." the hound said as he kept shooting at the "sea anemone head". The needle-shaped bullets fired by the electromagnetic machine gun It can easily penetrate light infantry armor, but it cannot tear the skin of these monsters.

"Old dog! Don't shoot for now... Did you notice something?" Ke Lan rushed up with the energy shield on his back and shouted to the hound.

"What's the matter? Does it mean that the acid-spitting organs of these monsters look like chrysanthemums?" The hound stopped shooting, and the arm armor with the barrel embedded inside split apart, and white steam gushed out from the vents. .

"Have you noticed that when the bullet hits these guys, although they can't penetrate their skin, the part of the bullet will turn dark purple red. This process will last for about two to three seconds, and then the purple red will turn It faded quickly, first to a pale pink, and then back to its original paleness."

"What do you mean? I don't understand." The hound shook his head in a daze.

"That should be some kind of defense mechanism of these monsters... They don't have any carapace or cuticle on the outside of their skin. Waiting to block your bullets should be the defense mechanism they rely on. Although I don't know what the principle is, but You can try to shoot the shot in the pink state." Ke Lan quickly expressed his thoughts.

"Are you kidding me? Those guys are moving all the time, it's hard to hit the same part twice in a row, not to mention the window time you mentioned is only a few seconds..."

"At least try, you can't just waste ammo like this... Or, you can also try to shoot at the hole where they spit acid."

[PS: Does anyone have a "bold idea" about sea anemone heads?Although people’s XP is free, I still recommend brothers who have this idea to see a doctor...]
