Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 759 Malice from the Grey Fog Forest

"It seems something is wrong." 33 suddenly pointed to a misty perch tree in front of him, which was as thick as seven or eight people hugging each other. How many meters is it?"

33 took a deep breath, stared at the misty roost, and asked the others, "You... have you noticed?"

"No." Mo Jue shook his head immediately, "Isn't that tree always there? It hasn't moved since the beginning...ah!"

She took a step back, only to find herself bumping into the root of a thick pillar.

Mo Jue's face suddenly changed.

She clearly remembered that the place where she was standing was an open area, and the distance of five steps around her was all open space, not even low shrubs.

"The gap between the trees is getting smaller!" Ivan said in a trembling voice, "It won't be long before the space we are in will be squeezed by the fog perches until there is nothing left."

Asano Akira did not speak, but swung his saber and chopped at the nearest fog roost, but the diameter of the fog roost at this depth not only increased several times, but also the wood strength was not comparable to that of the fog roost at the red line of 500 meters. In comparison, he chopped hundreds of knives in a row before he was able to cut down the Misty Roost tree.

But before the misty roost tree even had time to hit the ground, the wood inside had already been reduced to ashes, leaving only an empty shell surrounded by riddled bark, which fell lightly to the ground , and soon mixed with the soil.

This is a prop root, not the trunk of the mist roost tree. Cutting off the prop root will not completely kill the mist roost tree.

Soon, the cross-section of the stump of the pillar root was opened, and new shoots emerged from it, growing rapidly. In just three or four seconds, it had already grown to half the thickness of the pillar root that was cut down originally. .And the tops of the sprouts have also reached into the crown of the tree, connecting with the main body of the mist perch.

Until this time, the gray mist forest finally tore off the gentle camouflage, and completely exposed the terrifying fangs in front of Ke Lan and the others.

"Asano, don't waste your efforts...these trees can't be finished." Ke Lan called to Asano Akira, who was about to strike again, "All we can do is to leave this place as soon as possible..."

"I'm afraid, if we stay longer in any place, the surrounding fog perches will move closer... This forest doesn't look like it will let us invaders easily." Ivan said seriously.

"Then run, don't stop." Ke Lan chose the opposite direction from when he came, "at twelve o'clock, everyone, follow me, and always make sure that the teammates in front are within his vision , don't fall behind!"

As soon as the words fell, Ke Lan ran forward, followed by others.

Everyone ran out for nearly 500 meters in one breath, and stopped when they ran to a fairly empty place. Ke Lan turned around and counted the number of people—Zero, Akira Asano, 33, Valentina, Mo Jue, and Ivan , no one was left behind, even the blasphemer mecha that turned on the autopilot mode followed closely behind everyone.

Ke Lan, Ze Luo, Asano Akira, and 33 are in pretty good condition, but Valentina, Mo Jue, and Ivan are a bit overwhelmed—they want to catch up with the high-speed runners running at full speed in the complex terrain like the forest. It is extremely difficult to level up people. If Ke Lan and the others hadn't deliberately slowed down, these three people would have been left behind.

"Huhu... It seems that after I go back... I... I have to give myself a strengthening operation... Otherwise, I will really become... Huhu... a drag." Ivan supported his knee , said with a big mouth panting.

Valentina, who had a stronger personality, didn't speak, but from her flushed face and rising and falling chest, it could be seen that her current situation would definitely not be any better than Ivan's.

Mo Jue is the better one among the three. After all, he has the background of paratroopers, and his physical fitness is quite good. He can be regarded as a five-level strengthened person, but compared with the unconventional perverted existence of Ke Lan and the others , the five-level enhancement level is not enough.

"Rest on the spot for 33 seconds." Ke Lan looked at the surrounding foggy trees, and it seemed that there was no sign of approaching the crowd for the time being. "Everyone is ready for military stimulants. When you feel that you can't run, you should inject it quickly... But remember, don’t overdo it... If it’s not possible, we’ll take each of us for a run—[-], you take Mo Jue; I’ll take Valentina; Ivan’s words will be handed over to Asano Akira.”

Ark's military stimulants have been improved many times, and the side effects can be delayed until twelve hours later. However, if the overdose is injected, although the drug effect will become stronger, the duration and the time for the onset of side effects will be quickly shortened to about one hour. , ranging from loss of strength, to coma in severe cases.

"Understood." 33 nodded - although his reinforcement level is not as high as that of Mo Jue, but when he runs, he can borrow strength from the black flying blades that cling to his feet, just like the immortal cultivator in Xianxia novels Similarly, "flying with the sword", compared with physical strength, mental strength is more depleted.

"Ten seconds left." Ke Lan reminded loudly.

Ivan and Valentina quickly replenished their water and stuffed the straw of the water bag back into their bag, while Mo Jue poured out a few white pills from a small medicine box and put them in his mouth.

"Two-six sustained-release tablets?" Ivan saw the type of drug Mo Jue was using at a glance, and shook his head helplessly, "This kind of stimulant was stopped by the Ark military in [-]. From which black market did you buy expired futures?"

"I'm not you guys... Ever since my father disappeared, all the ties in the army have been broken, and there is no way to buy those military supplies." Mo Jue said quickly.

"You said it earlier, it's not like I won't give it to you." 33 took out two injections from his backpack and threw them to Mo Jue, "Are we like that kind of stingy people?"

Mo Jue took the injection, looked at 33 and Ivan complicatedly, nodded, and said, "Thank you."

"There's no need to be polite. Now everyone is really a grasshopper tied to a rope. If you need anything, just say it. Don't worry about it." 33 waved his hand indifferently.

"It's time for a break, ready to go—"

The word "fa" of "departure" was still in his throat, but Ke Lan suddenly squatted down and put his palms on the ground.

"What's the matter?" A look of vigilance flashed in 33's eyes, and he also followed Ke Lan's example and squatted down, touching the ground with his palms.

"The ground is shaking, and there are massive things moving towards the position we are standing in, in all directions." Akira Asano said - he doesn't need to touch the ground, the perception of those tentacles is far stronger than that of the human body. sensitive.

"Asano, can you 'hear' the movement outside the fog?" Ke Lan asked anxiously.

"No, just like 33's Flying Blade, once the tentacles of my thoughts penetrate into the mist, they will disintegrate on their own." Akira Asano shook his head, "The range of my perception is limited to the area where the mist is removed Inside."

"Where's Zelo?"

"Me too. Although these fogs are not spatially specific, they can block perception." The girl said expressionlessly.

"Damn it! Even the perception of Ze Luo and Akira Asano can be shielded, so how did these things lock our position?" 33 released a large number of black flying blades around his body, forming a barrel-shaped dynamic defense formation .

"They are one with this forest...the fog-roosts around us, the fog-vines, the ground under our feet, the fog around us...their eyes, noses and ears...everything we do, every moment They are under their surveillance all the time..." Mo Jue muttered, "My father has said this many times before."

"Who does 'they' refer to?" Ivan asked, "Are those native creatures living in the foggy forest?"

"I don't know. Father never said it clearly. If I asked him, he would not tell me." Mo Jue shook his head.

"If it's those native creatures, we'll be in big trouble." 33 gritted his teeth and said, "Even heavy cruisers can be severely damaged, and frigates can be sunk...Compared with battleships, our flesh is not a few meters thick The armor plate is so strong..."

The speed of those things approaching was very fast. After a while, even if they didn't need to feel it intentionally, they could feel that the ground vibrated visibly... It's just that only the vibration was transmitted along the ground, and the sound was completely suppressed. engulfed in fog.

They seemed to be deaf, and in the silence, the vibrations began to become stronger and stronger.

"It stands to reason that sound can also be transmitted through solid objects, but I can't hear anything." 33 said with his ear on the ground, "This is unscientific."

"In this kind of place, it is very funny to use the science of human civilization to seek explanations." Ivan sighed, and took off the electromagnetic rifle hanging behind him-as a military doctor in the team, his combat effectiveness is The weakest in this team, but even so, there was no sign of flinching in his eyes.

Just when the gravel and soil particles scattered on the ground began to bounce up, the vibration disappeared all of a sudden.

In the surrounding fog, dots of crimson light lit up—you must know that the dense fog at this depth cannot be pierced even by military searchlights with hundreds of thousands of lumens, but these light spots can pass through the thick fog to let the Ke Lan and the others saw that all of a sudden they felt the hairs on their backs stand on end.

"It can't really be those monsters that can sink battleships... These red light spots are their eyes." Ivan took the electromagnetic rifle, but he didn't know which direction to aim-these scarlet light spots There are all directions, and they are obviously surrounded by each other.

"I always feel that the arrangement of these light spots is very familiar, but I can't tell where it is familiar for a while." Valentina whispered, leaning against the Blasphemer Mecha, arched her body, and held A heavy large-caliber machine gun.

Although there are a lot of light spots, each individual individual can be vaguely distinguished—if these light spots are really the eyes of those monsters, then these monsters seem to be very similar to spiders... Every individual has The eight scarlet light spots are arranged very regularly: three light spots at the top and bottom each form a triangular branch, and the two light spots in the middle are in the middle, just like...

Ke Lan was taken aback. Isn't this arrangement the front monitor of the walker mecha?But the question is... the light from the walker mecha monitor...can penetrate the dense fog?
Before Ke Land could think about it, these spots of light suddenly started to move, and the shock came from the ground again.

"Here we come!" 33 snorted, and the flying blade drum surrounding him quickly expanded.

When these "monsters" came out of the thick fog and showed their true appearance in front of everyone, everyone except Ke Lan showed a look of astonishment on their faces-Ke Lan did not guess wrong, these "monsters" ", it is really the mass-produced bipedal tactical mech produced by Ark - "Pacer".

It's just that a large number of fog vines are wrapped around the bodies of these walkers, and gray mist is constantly gushing out from the fog vines, "plating" a layer of armor made of fog on the surface of the mecha.

The joints of these mechs have been corroded to the point of disintegration, and they seem to disintegrate at any time, but their walking movements are as smooth as living creatures, without the sense of stagnation that is unique to machinery.

"Walker mechs...what's going on? Who is driving them?" 33 said with a sullen face, "The number printed on these mechas...is the armored unit that lost contact in the gray fog forest."

"It's impossible for the pilots of these walkers to be alive. Pay attention to those cockpits." Ivan said, "There are a lot of fog vines extending directly into the cockpit, the gray fog on the body surface and the gray fog inside the body A cycle is vaguely formed... Even if the pilots sitting in the cockpit are still 'alive', they are no longer human beings."

"Are we...are we going to try to communicate with each other?" Mo Jue asked hesitantly.

But what responded to her was the muzzle raised suddenly by the walker walking in the front.

The ammunition supply structure of the machine gun has been turned into a large rusty red iron block because it has not been used for a long time, but with the connection of the energy channel, the thick oxides on the cannon body are torn and peeled off one after another, and the rusty triple gun The barrel turned slowly, and the sound of the shell being loaded was heard in everyone's ears.

"Everyone, get ready to fight! Valentina, return to your battle position! Ze Luo is responsible for the defense first, and will attack when the defense pressure is not high!" Ke Lan ordered immediately.

As soon as the words fell, the machine gun of the walker mech roared, and the muzzle sprayed out several meters of flames, but the shells that escaped were "frozen" in mid-air before flying far. , and then exploded one after another.

The explosive bomb loaded by this walker, but the fragments and shock waves produced by the explosive bomb exploded were also compressed into fist-sized spaces by Ze Luo, turning into clusters of extremely bright liquid metal streams, all the way to the cannon. At the mouth... Soon, even the explosive bombs still in the barrel were detonated ahead of time, and the entire machine gun exploded directly.

The walker mech dropped its cannon without hesitation, and drew out the short combat knife at its waist.

But before it raised the knife, a tall black shadow had already bumped into it—Ke Lan asked Valentina to return to the battle position, which meant to let her return to the cockpit of the blasphemer: if these mechas If it's just ordinary "walkers", a Blasphemer is enough to destroy them all.
