Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 884
In fact, it can't be said that there was no damage at all... Several severely deformed black scales were stuck to the front end of the hammer head.These scales should have been torn off by the huge force of the impact, but the weakness of this monster's body was not exposed because of this - under the surface scales, there is a second layer that is thinner, But also denser scales.

This structure is similar to the ancient layered armor.

The next moment the monster was smashed into the ground, it jumped up wrapped in the flying mud, and pounced on Ke Lan again. Just when Ke Lan was about to swing the armor-piercing mallet again, the monster who had already closed the distance did it again. The powerful tail swept across Ke Lan's neck!

Ke Lan just resisted the opponent's tail flick with his chest, and even the spine was broken and dislocated several sections. Compared with the torso, the neck is thinner and more fragile. If it is hit, the whole head may be separated from the body , fly far away...

At that time, even if he has a super recovery ability, Ke Lan dare not guarantee whether he can survive the separation of his body and head...

Ke Lan could only give up the attack and choose to retreat.

The living armor oozes from his back and condenses into a tentacle as thick as one grasp. The end of the tentacle is a three-pronged barb. The moment it is thrown out, it hooks to the ground firmly, holding Ke Lan's body Pull back.

The monster's tail brushed against Ke Lan's cheek and swung it over, missing a direct hit, but the strong wind it brought cut Ke Lan's cheek to pieces, even revealing his white bones and teeth.

Compared to losing his head, this flesh injury is nothing, anyway, it will recover in a few seconds anyway.Ke Lan thought to himself.

He took out the gravity gun several times to attack, but after thinking about it, the effect of the gravity gun is just to multiply the gravity applied in a certain area, and it can't even press the inner wall of the garbage channel made of lead alloy. Collapsing, let alone the steel and iron monster in front of him.

In the physical sense - "reinforced iron bones".

33 on the side can only watch anxiously - Ke Lan has obviously fallen into a disadvantage, and he really wants to help Ke Lan, but he is completely unable to intervene, and can only wait for Ke Lan to create an attack opportunity for himself.

But the problem is that Ke Lan can only retreat in embarrassment now, not to mention attacking, and even dodging has gradually become difficult.

This monster kept flicking its tail and sweeping across a large area. Ke Lan didn't even dare to use a weapon to head-to-head with the opponent's tail—as long as he came into contact with that tail, the huge force attached to it would directly hold Ke Lan who was holding the weapon. Lan took the flying out, unless Ke Lan softened the living armor at the moment of contact, but in this way, it would be difficult for the soft weapon to burst out with enough force, even smashing off a few scales like just now arrive.

It's not that Ke Lan never thought of transforming his weapon into a chain weapon like a meteor hammer, but now the monster is chasing him closely, and the distance between the two is very tense. The degree to which the tail hits, there is no room for the meteor hammer to swing and store power.

The previous idea of ​​trying to minimize the movement has also been thrown away at this time. During the fight between Ke Lan and the monster, large areas of the forest were razed, and when the towering giant tree was hit by the tail, The thick and thin tree trunks hugged by several people were easily torn apart and broken like paper, and the rumbling sound was accompanied by the tremors of the ground one after another.

Fortunately, the monster in front of him seemed to be the overlord of this area. Even if such a big commotion was caused, no other creatures nearby were attracted to it, allowing Ke Lan to focus all his attention on a single opponent.

"It won't work like this!" Ke Lan began to become anxious.

With Zelo's support, the battle will become very easy.The power of space can even be used to forge Nino alloy. It is not a problem to squeeze this monster into a round shape... But the problem is that Ze Luo's ability cannot be used in the upper city... The only way is to make this monster Where to lead to the garbage channel...

But, will this guy really be led away from the jungle hunting ground by himself?
There seems to be an invisible and intangible restriction on the edge of the jungle hunting ground. Not only the trees in the hunting ground will not cross the boundary line half an inch, but even the animals in the hunting ground will not run outside the hunting ground.

Although this cannot be confirmed for the time being, apart from the two people's previous simple investigation of the upper city, except for some bugs that resemble mutated cockroaches, no living things have been found in the eastern half of the upper city.

Those "cockroaches" probably didn't come out of the jungle hunting grounds, but originally lived in the corners of the upper city. In the hive capital, the humans disappeared, and they became the only creatures active among the ruins of the buildings.

There must be more creatures in the jungle hunting ground than the crocodile-like monster in front of you, but no matter what kind of creature it is, they would rather risk being eaten by stronger creatures than leave this perilous hunting ground and go to a place where the competition is relatively low. The smaller, but much larger outside world...that speaks volumes.

"33!" Ke Lan suddenly shouted.

"I'm here!" 33, who had watched the battle for a while, quickly responded, "What do you want me to do?"

"We," Ke Lan hadn't finished speaking, when he was interrupted by his own embarrassing roll, the right hand that was too late to withdraw was hit by the monster's tail, the whole palm was cut off by the root, and the blood suddenly seemed to be smashed It sprayed out like a faucet.

"Your hand!" 33 bit his back molars hard. Although he knew that with Ke Lan's recovery ability, a brand new hand would grow from the broken ground in a few minutes, but he also saw It can be seen that Ke Lan's dodge space has become much smaller than before, and the choices left for him have become more and more embarrassing.

"It's okay, it will grow out later!" But in fact, Ke Lan couldn't wait for those few minutes at all, so he could only use the living armor to condense a bright red "prosthetic hand" on the severed wrist, and forcefully held it With a support on the ground, relying on the explosive strength of the wrist and elbow, he pushed his body to one side.

After narrowly avoiding an attack, Ke Lan had time to finish what he had just said: "Let's retreat to the edge of the forest! I guess, this guy can't leave this place!"

"Then what if it can?" 33 asked while retreating.

"Then we can only deal with it with the help of the building debris in the upper city... To be honest, I would like to see this situation... As long as I can guide it into the garbage passage, I can use Zelo's power to deal with it .”

After paying the price of an arm and a leg, Ke Lan finally succeeded in leading the monster to the edge of the jungle hunting ground - it is strange to say that when Ke Lan retreated outside the boundary line, the monster stopped immediately Chased... Although it is close at hand, there seems to be a space barrier between it and Ke Lan, completely separating the two.

"It really doesn't chase anymore!" 33 gasped—the speed of movement between Ke Lan and the monster is extremely fast, 33 must move at full speed to ensure that he can withdraw from the jungle area before them, otherwise, Ke Lan will withdraw first If he did, the monster would turn around and attack him.

He didn't have the confidence to survive the monster's stormy attack like Ke Lan did.

"Ha, it can be regarded as retreating into the safe zone." Ke Lan looked at the boundary line three steps away in front of him, feeling like looking at the light curtain of the main city safe zone in an online game. He let out a long breath.

He has experienced many bitter battles before, but this is the first time that he has lost his hands and feet, and was disembowelled and shattered his internal organs.

But anyway, it also let Ke Lan know the limit of his recovery ability - as long as his head is not smashed, he can recover on his own no matter how serious the injury is.

That is to say, 33 and their teammates will not be surprised by this. Anyone who is not familiar with Ke Lan will definitely suspect that Ke Lan is a monster. A crocodile with eight pairs of feet is also a monster of a "monster".

Strictly speaking, this statement is actually true.

"I am a monster, but I am also a human being." Ke Lan said silently in his heart.

The monster-here refers to the eight-legged crocodile, not Ke Lan-did not leave, but looked at Ke Lan across the boundary of the hunting ground.

Despite the current location, Ke Lan has not found where its eyes grow... Or, this guy does not have a "visual organ" in the conventional sense at all.

Although the border of the jungle hunting ground can block its steps, it cannot block its perception. It just crouched on the edge of the hunting ground, as if waiting for Ke Lan to set foot in it again.

Naturally, Ke Lan is not in a hurry to "give away the head". This is the same as fighting the boss in the game. Blindly repeating the challenge is the least efficient way to pass the level.Only after each attempt, summing up experience, improving techniques and equipment, and adjusting the state is the most scientific strategy plan.

Ke Lan first waited for his broken limbs to grow back, and then walked back and forth a few times against the edge of the jungle hunting ground, carefully observing the monster from different angles——

No, it should be called now, "No. 14 Epsilon-level mutant", if it is more accurate, it is "No. 14 Epsilon-level mutant with 500,000 years of evolution".

Just when he fought against this monster, some memory fragments were unlocked in the depths of Ke Lan's mind, but the battle just now was too intense, and his brain had no time to process other information besides fighting , and put this matter on hold for the time being.

The monsters that the hive puts into the hunting grounds are all "mutant species" artificially produced and bred based on the biological genes of the earth. According to the strength of the mutant species, they will be given different levels.The levels are taken from the order of the Greek letters, the "α Alpha" of Sequence 24 is the smallest, and the "Ω Omega" of Sequence [-] is the largest. (Alpha here has nothing to do with Alpha Star or Alpha Civilization.)
Of course, according to the information mentioned in the memory fragments, it’s not just that the “Omega class” is only a theoretical level, in fact, all levels after “θTheta” are all “empty titles”. The strongest mutant creature produced is also limited to the "Theta Class" of Sequence Eight.

The giant saber-toothed tiger encountered by "No. 32" was only a "Gamma-class" of Sequence Three, while the "crocodile" that Ke Lan encountered was an "Epsilon-class" of Sequence Five, No. 14 registered "upsilon-level mutants".

It's just that this data is already 500,000 years ago. At that time, the appearance of this crocodile was no different from the normal crocodiles on the earth except that it was big. It only had four legs, and there were no layers of Nino alloy scales on its body. It's just that the stratum corneum of the skin has the ability to enrich metal elements... There are a lot of creatures with similar abilities in the wasteland of Star Alpha.

Nino alloys are definitely not the same as ordinary metal elements... The smelting conditions of Nino alloys are extremely harsh, not only does it require an ultra-high pressure environment, but it also needs to have a periodic table of elements that can only be obtained on a certain mysterious planet. new elements outside.

This new element only exists on the planet where the escaped engineering ship once moored, and it does not exist on the earth or on the Alpha planet... It is precisely for this reason that the Alpha civilization with such a high level of technology can only Re-engraving energy crystals, but unable to re-engrave Nino Alloy.

If it was just an ordinary "Epsilon-level mutant", Ke Lan could easily complete a single kill with only Ke Lan's strength... But in 500,000 years, this "Epsilon-level mutant" has obviously happened huge change.

If it is rated again, Ke Lan thinks it can at least reach the "Kappa level" of Sequence Ten, or even higher.

Judging from the information provided in the memory fragments, even the strongest mutants produced by the hive civilization, No. [-], No. [-] and No. [-] of the "Theta Class", are definitely not as powerful as the crocodile in front of them.

Although the "Sita class" No. 51, No. 200 and No. [-] only mentioned one name, there are successful hunting records - No. [-] was successfully hunted by [-] hunters, and the number of No. [-] rose to [-] , As for the number three, it is a little less face-to-face. It was killed by the Bottom Nest people in the "qualifiers", but the Bot Nest people also paid nearly [-] people for this.

Vaguely, a very bold idea popped up in Ke Lan's mind...

What level of mutants are these? Could it be... the originator of the native creatures on Planet Alpha? !

Many native creatures of Planet Alpha can find some similar shadows on these mutants!It is also because of this that many indigenous creatures of Planet Alpha make the people on the Ark feel that they have many similarities with some creatures on Earth.
