Chapter 628: Danger
When Chen Xiaolian woke up again, the scenery outside the window had changed.
The car was still driving, but there were no roads. It is surrounded by a lush savannah dotted with towering trees.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
Chen Xiaolian sat up straight and looked at the blue sea beside him.
"It's been two hours. Lan Hai said while driving: "Because I was worried that there would be pursuers, I didn't stop the car to let you recuperate." It's better to wait until you get to the town and get some rest. β
"Hmm. Chen Xiaolian nodded: "How far is it?"
Lan Hai thought for a while: "After passing this grassland, we will walk through a desert and return to our town." It's probably more than an hour. β
"Good. β
"We've gone through two copies before and they're safe. The next desert...... We met some ants on the way, but fortunately, they were not fast enough to catch up with the car. Lan Hai looked at Chen Xiaolian.
Chen Xiaolian looked at Lan Hai and nodded slightly, but did not speak.
"If you're still tired, you can rest for a while. We should all be safe before we get back to town. By the way......" Lan Hai looked at Chen Xiaolian: "Thank you for saving us." β
"You're welcome. Just remember, when you get back to your town, help me ask who I'm looking for. Chen Xiaolian closed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the seat.
When he woke up just now, he had already tried it, and sure enough, the attributes of his whole body had dropped to the level of ordinary people.
It seems that the price of burning all attributes of the Goddess of Dawn skill is the same even at the end of the world.
What's more......
The power of the Heavenly Sword in the body is now completely gone!
Chen Xiaolian's original comprehensive strength will not exceed the A+ level at most.
But this is only the comprehensive strength!
When calculating, it includes summoning a four-eyed cute cat, Bai Qi, a sword in the stone, and a series of other miscellaneous equipment.
Speaking of Chen Xiaolian's current strength alone, the highest basic attribute is just an A-level physique.
If you just rely on the burning basic attribute and release the Sun Yao Refinement, the attack strength is definitely not enough to knock down an S-level powerhouse like Vulture!
Only by burning together with the power of the Heavenly Sword could Chen Xiaolian unleash such a powerful attack. But the price isβ
He was washed clean and turned into a complete normal person!
Fortunately, when he was in Tokyo before, Chen Xiaolian had been injected with a strong breeding potion. The effect of the potion is that it can automatically restore the user's basic attributes until it returns to its original state.
But here's the problem, it takes time!
The last time Chen Xiaolian used the Sun Yao Cleansing Practice, it was when he faced Chen in the battle of Zero City. After the fact, it took about ten days for the basic attributes to return to their original level.
And this time, Chen Xiaolian can only stay at the end of the world for 140 hours.
It's been almost four or five hours since he entered the end of the world. There are just over five days left, which is far from enough to return to normal.
What's more, Chen Xiaolian lost the power of the Heavenly Sword!
"Alright, it's time for the desert. β
Lan Hai's voice interrupted Chen Xiaolian's contemplation.
Opening his eyes, Chen Xiaolian saw that in the distance ahead, an obvious dividing line appeared.
The original savanna suddenly disappeared, and without any transition, it became a vast desert.
"Everybody pick up your guns and be careful. Lan Hai glanced back at the three people in the back seat, with a serious expression, and then turned back to Chen Xiaolian and explained: "That group of ants sometimes hides underground and suddenly bursts out. Although the speed can't keep up with the car, it can still be a bit troublesome at times. β
The other two nodded, checking the guns in their hands, but Grace pouted: "What are you afraid of? Isn't there still him? He's so powerful, what are a few ants?"
"Chen Xiaolian just had a fight with that monster and needs to rest. What's more......" Lan Hai said lightly: "Why do we only rely on him alone?"
Chen Xiaolian sighed and turned his head to look at the blue ocean: "Give it to me too...... A gun. β
Lan Hai glanced at Chen Xiaolian, with a look of surprise in his eyes, but he didn't ask anything, just nodded, and handed Chen Xiaolian the automatic rifle he placed next to his seat: "Can you use it?"
"Yes. Chen Xiaolian took the gun, carefully checked the magazine and chamber, turned his head to look out the window, and stopped talking.
The car quickly drove into the desert, and the friction of the tires immediately increased, and the speed of the car stagnated. And the expressions of several people in the back seat immediately became nervous.
After driving for more than ten minutes, dozens of black dots appeared on the horizon in front of me.
"Hold it firm, try to save bullets, don't fire if you don't have a certain distance. Lan Hai said in a deep voice while driving.
The three people in the back seat all whispered yes, and they didn't look too flustered.
After all, I'd seen the giant ants before, and they were nothing compared to the Karamon and vultures I'd seen in Manhattan dungeons.
Hearing the roar of the car's engine, the giant ants immediately spotted the prey here, and they all took six long legs and crawled towards the car.
Lan Hai rolled down the four windows, except for Grace and himself, who were sitting in the middle of the back row, the rest of Chen Xiaolian, Yang Lin, and Daniel all raised their guns and pointed them out of the window.
When the car approached, Chen Xiaolian saw the appearance of these giant ants clearly.
Each one was more than a human long, and it was more visible than under a magnifying glass, and the tentacles on the top of the head trembled slightly as they crawled, and the compound eyes flashed with a strange multicolored light.
These giant ants are not crawling too fast, about the same as the speed of an average person running at full speed. Although the car was spotted and was being chased and intercepted from the front, at such a speed, it did not pose much of a threat to the car.
"Knock out the ones in front of you. Lan Hai adjusted the steering wheel slightly, and drove straight in the direction of the weakest encirclement in front of him.
Chen Xiaolian nodded, picked up his gun and aimed at a giant ant, firing a series of five bursts.
Although the physical fitness has been reduced back to the level of ordinary people, the original shooting skills are still there. None of them missed, and the bullets hit the giant ant's head one after another, easily piercing the shell.
The giant ant was knocked backwards by the impact of the bullet, and some yellow, yellow, green, and green bodily fluids flowed out of the bullet hole, and the slender limbs swung twice, rolling on the ground.
Very weak.
Chen Xiaolian immediately made a judgment.
He was holding a normal M4 automatic rifle in his hand, but he was still able to deal damage to this giant ant.
At the same time, Yang Lin and Daniel also opened fire at the same time.
Although the archery skills of the two are not bad, after all, they are only at the level of ordinary people. The car was driving in the desert, and the giant ants were crawling incessantly. In the dynamic firing conditions, some bullets hit the giant ants, but many more missed.
Even if the bullet hits, it may not be able to hit the head of the giant ant like Chen Xiaolian. Although the ant's abdomen is softer, it can still maintain a certain mobility after eating two or three bullets.
"You have a ceasefire. Chen Xiaolian said behind him without looking back, and at the same time, the automatic rifle in his hand opened fire quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it hit the heads of the two giant ants.
The two giant ants also struggled for a moment, and rolled over and fell to the ground, but they were not completely dead, and their six long legs were still swinging wildly in the air.
Under the driving of Lan Hai, the SUV rushed towards the front, but Lan Hai's brows were also wrinkled.
In the sand ahead, more giant ants appeared.
"Divide one person and sit in the passenger seat. Don't shoot unless you have to. β
Chen Xiaolian looked at the giant ants in front of him who kept coming out of the sand, his face sank, he reached out to open the skylight, and sat on the roof of the car with both hands, leaving only two legs in the car, aiming at the ants in front of him and shooting them one by one.
"Yes. Yang Lin didn't drag the mud and water, the cat got into the passenger seat, and the three of them each held a gun, aiming at the ants outside the car, but they didn't shoot easily.
Only Chen Xiaolian on the roof of the car, every time he shoots, he will knock over a giant ant.
In addition to tire prints, a series of giant ant corpses were also left on the path where the car traveled.
But here's the problem......
There are too many!
"Magazine!"
"Magazine!"
"Magazine!"
Chen Xiaolian had already emptied three magazines, but the giant ants in front of him were still appearing in dense clusters, rushing towards the direction of the car.
Not only Chen Xiaolian, but Yang Lin and the three also began to fire sporadically. From time to time, giant ants came out of the sand not far in front of the car, Chen Xiaolian couldn't take care of so much by himself, and when they got close to a certain distance, Yang Lin and the three of them could only pull the trigger as a last resort.
The ammunition was depleted much faster than expected.
When Lan Hai and his party left the town, it was impossible to bring too much ammunition with them. After the attrition of these battles, there is not much left. And the weapon he found in the police station before was not successfully brought back to the convenience store.
"Count, how many are left?" Chen Xiaolian threw an empty magazine into the skylight.
"Three. β
"Four. β
"I'm only the last two! We can't get out if we continue to fight like this!Why don't you go down and fight them?" Grace cried out excitedly, "You can even fight that monster, go and kill them!"
Chen Xiaolian silently pulled the trigger and knocked over a giant ant on the road that had rushed ten meters in front of the car, ignoring this tiresome woman.
However, he also had some worries in his heart.
The ants in front of us were still emerging from the sand, and it seemed like an endless end. If this continues, when the bullets run out, I am afraid that I will be dragged to death on this desert.
"Let's take a detour. I'm afraid I can't rush through it like this. Chen Xiaolian shouted under the skylight.
"No, I can't. Lan Hai also shouted at the top of his voice: "There is not much oil! This group of ants occupies too much area, if we make a detour, we will not be able to drive to the town! And we are now surrounded, we can't turn around!"
Chen Xiaolian glanced back at it quickly, and the dense ant colony behind him did not look less than in front of him.
"Damn, how did you rush through before!"
Chen Xiaolian let out a low roar.
Lan Hai's eyebrows tightened: "We only met a dozen of them before, and there are not that many at all!"
"! don't fire, leave me the ammo!"
Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath, adjusted the M4 in his hand to a single-shot mode, and pulled the trigger more carefully, each bullet hit the center of the two tentacles of the giant ant, and the bullet was not missing.
But in the desert ahead, the giant ants still kept burrowing out and swarming in the direction of the car.
Chen Xiaolian held his breath and concentrated on shooting, and on the other hand, he also secretly confirmed his physical condition.
Useless. It has only been a few hours since he used the Sun Yao Refinement, and Chen Xiaolian at this moment is still no different from ordinary people. What's more, at this time, he didn't have any weapons in his hand, and jumping out of the car to fight this group of giant ants in close combat was almost looking for death.
Chen Xiaolian kept scolding his mother in his heart.
Damn, if the storage equipment is still on you and can still be used, this group of ants is just a dish!
Judging from the combat effectiveness currently displayed by this group of giant ants, the original difficulty of this dungeon is only the lowest kind, and it is purely for new players and awakened people to level up. In addition to the quantity, the combat effectiveness of the monolith is not at all to be feared.
When he helped Daoshan Huohai grab the Xingchen Sand Mining Area before, Chen Xiaolian made a lot of money. Not to mention the Thunderstorm Chariot and the Tide Fighter, even if you release a few Sentinel Mechas, you can kill this group of giant ants cleanly!
But here's the problem - these things can't be taken out!
Although all three people in the car stopped firing, and Chen Xiaolian also switched to single-shot mode, the magazine at hand was still not enough to consume.
According to Chen Xiaolian's estimate, the car can drive one more kilometer at most, and the ammunition will be exhausted!
At that time, I am afraid that the five people in the car will have to be torn apart and devoured by this group of giant ants.
"You...... Get out of the car and fight!" Grace couldn't help but scream as she saw more giant ants emerging from the sand in front of her, "You said you were going to protect us!"
"Don't talk nonsense with me!Get out of the car, you get out by yourself!"
Chen Xiaolian finally became angry.
From the beginning to the present, this woman has been screaming for bad things, and she can't help at all, and she only knows how to complain.
If she wasn't from the blue sea, if Chen Xiaolian hadn't been bent on returning to the town and asking about Qiaoqiao's whereabouts, he would have kicked her out of the car a long time ago.
"Xiao Lian, it's not a way to go on like this, do you have any ideas?" Lan Hai asked through gritted teeth.
"I ...... too No. If you run out of bullets, let's wait for death together!"
It was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so Chen Xiaolian could only smile bitterly.
Moreover, since Lan Hai asked so, it meant that he also realized that after the battle with the vultures, Chen Xiaolian no longer had the magical ability he had before.
"Wait!"
Chen Xiaolian's eyes suddenly froze.
Behind a sand dune not far in front of the left, a shiny metal plate is glinting!
Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath and yelled into the skylight:
"Blue Ocean!
