Chapter 352: Underground Whipworms
The squad leader's head rolled to the ground, dripping and spinning.
Such a terrifying scene is creepy.
Countless soldiers raised their guns in unison.
Searching for the invisible enemy in a panic, they feared that their next target would be themselves.
"Retreat, all three meters back, no one is allowed to shoot! The more chaotic you are, the faster you will die!" Little Eric rushed over and shouted: "Turn on all the lights, we will let the enemy have nothing to hide!"
Fortunately.
These soldiers are well trained.
As soon as little Eric drank it, he immediately forcibly calmed down.
If the panic just now does not subside, allowing the soldiers to shoot is very likely to cause irreparable tragedy.
The ground was illuminated by powerful spotlights, and there was not a single shadow that could escape the search. But what is extremely strange is that the enemy who sneaked up on the team leader completely disappeared as if it had completely melted into the air. Little Eric led the elite to search three times, but still did not find a trace. There was nothing left on the ground except the corpses and the dead heads.
"Could it be a ghost?" the griffin couldn't figure out what else could stealthily attack other than ghosts and ghosts.
"Are you an idiot?" Fox was speechless.
"It's not a ghost, so what do you say?It's only been a long time since it killed that team leader, I've been staring, but nothing has escaped into the fork!" The griffin suddenly slapped his forehead in realization: "Fawkes, do you suspect that it has blended into our crowd? Damn, we need to count the number of people and find out the ghost hiding among us!"
"......" Fox Khan. I didn't say anything good or not!
"Griffin, don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, it is easy to cause panic among the soldiers. Philip quickly told the griffin to shut up, for the soldiers would have blown up their fur if they continued to do so.
"Actually, the enemy is hiding at our feet. "Lin Dong doesn't want to waste too much time here. Straight to the point.
"What?" said the griffin and Big Ivan, who jumped in fright.
"I mean underground. Lin Dong motioned to little Eric: "Open the corpse." ”
Little Eric: They actually turned the body over and over again.
I haven't found any suspicions.
Now listen to what Lin Dong said.
Hurriedly stepped forward and turned over the squad leader's body again.
There was nothing suspicious about the ground except for blood and rocks.
"I think it's probably a monster with a large but long tentacle that can reach out in a rock crevice to attack creatures. Lin Dong said as he motioned to the two female soldiers around him who were protecting him: "You guys fire at the ground!"
The two female soldiers immediately raised the submachine guns in their hands and swept towards the ground that Lin Dong was pointing to.
Elsewhere, the bullets were flying rocky, but in what looked like a rock. But the bullet was nailed deep into it, and the sound of hitting it was very dull, not like a rock, but a bit like hitting a tree. At this suspicious point, countless soldiers immediately raised their guns, but little Eric stopped.
He led the two elites and stepped forward with extraordinary boldness.
Get a little closer.
Only then did he raise the gun in his hand and shoot accurately.
The ground suddenly seemed to crumble, and a black whip flicked up like lightning, pumping at high speed towards little Eric's neck.
"Die!" the gun in little Eric's hand opened fire. With the other hand, he drew his sharp saber and swung it towards the 'whip' without retreating.
"Smack!"
The whip was broken.
The remainder, like a snake entering a cave, retreated swiftly back into the caving rock. Disappeared without a trace.
Little Eric snatched the flamethrower from the soldier's hand and sprayed wildly at the palm-sized crack in the rock. But it's a pity. His retaliation was completely ineffective. He took a deep breath and motioned to the soldiers, "Everyone walk around." Do not come close. Mike, you pour a bottle of acid poison into it, Billy and Horford you take cover. Report anything to me immediately. ”
As soon as he assigned the task, he rushed over.
Because, Lin Dong was observing the 'whip' that broke on the ground.
"Mr. Wood, what is this?" little Eric looked at Linton, hoping to get an answer from the mouth of the genius scientist.
"Sorry, I'm not a biologist, but this is the first time I've seen this weird creature. However, I guess this creature is a monster that lives deep underground, with octopus-like tentacles, and usually hides in rock crevices to sneak up on prey that passes by. Lin Dong waved his hand.
This creature.
Lin Dong did see it for the first time.
Unlike the monsters hiding in the rock crevices in the Longkou Mine, the monsters in the dark river under the Longkou Mine do not have such sharp scales and cannot cut the neck of their prey in an instant. The underground monsters here have more earthworm-like tentacles and hands, but are flatter and covered with thin scales. When you zoom in on this scale, you can see that it is covered with extremely sharp serrations. Normally, these scales are combined, and once an attack is launched, they immediately stand upside down and swing at high speed, forming a 'whip blade' that lightly cuts the neck of the prey.
Little Eric would love to get the answer here in Lindon.
But Lin Dong didn't say that he didn't know what kind of creature this was, and even if he did, he couldn't sue him.
"Kidd, put it away, take it back and let Mr. Wood study it slowly!" Professor Jeffrey kept looking at Lin Dong, he thought that putting away this tentacle would become one of the items that attracted Lin Dong, who wouldn't want to, long before everyone gathered around to observe, Lin Dong put away the blood of this creature with a storage ring.
Lin Dong didn't know the name of this creature, but Lin Dong had already mastered the rest of this creature.
All that remains is the broken 'whip'.
Lin Dong didn't care at all.
A soldier stepped forward, clamped the whip-like tentacles with a clip, and carefully placed them in a metal box in his backpack. When it touched the metal box, the tentacle hand still seemed to come to life, and writhed for a while.
"It's moving, Professor Jeffrey?" the soldier named Kidd grimaced. I don't know if I should close it or continue to hold it like this.
"It's just the peristalsis of nerve endings, which many lower creatures have. For example, the tail of a gecko will continue to move even if it is broken. Attract the attention of your enemies. I think this tentacle should have the same effect. Professor Jeffrey made a bold judgment, then looked at Lin Dong, who gave him a thumbs up.
Lin Dong ostensibly agreed with Professor Jeffrey's statement.
In fact, he felt that the wriggling of the tentacle had nothing in common with the writhing of the gecko's tail.
Why didn't you move on the ground just now? You have to put it in a metal box before you move? Lin Dong estimated that this kind of monster has a strong habit of liking to get close to metal, and once it gets close to metal, the nerves of its limbs will react immediately.
At the same time, this can also explain the reason why the crippled tentacles were still able to escape after being hit by countless bullets just now.
If little Eric's blow just now hadn't just hit the biggest gap.
It doesn't always work to cut it off.
"Let's call it the Underground Whipworm for now! This is supposed to be a lower creature. Similar to an octopus or earthworm, it lives in rock crevices and likes to hide in the shadows to attack its prey. It is estimated that it has more than one tentacle hand, and there are various scaly armor pieces on the tentacle hand, which are very sharp and can easily cut the neck of a human. Due to the lack of information, the underground whipworm was temporarily classified as a 'C-class creature'. Professor Jeffrey motioned to the soldier in charge of the information to record what he said, and the rest of the information needed to be further improved.
"This is what Mr. Wood found, and Mr. Wood should be named!" Big Ivan snorted.
"Yes. Do you need to rush to get it into your possession? It's just a name!" the griffin was also unhappy, for without the Celestial Lord, you would have to kill many soldiers to find it!
"Mr. Wood. I'm sorry, but as soon as I get into the groove, it's easy to forget about things. Professor Jeffrey used the excuse of his own dedication.
"It's fine. I'm not interested in naming it, besides. This is your place, and it is up to you to keep a record. Don't talk about naming. It's the next kind of harvest, and if you don't want to, I won't take even the slightest bit of it from it. Lin Dong used such words to dispel the other party's vigilance, anyway, you can hold as many storage rings as you want, first seal the other party's mouth with words, and it is not too late for them to ask for themselves to make a move.
"I'm ashamed!" little Eric quickly apologized: "Mr. Wood, you are a real scientist!"
"Keep walking!" Lin Dong smiled.
Fox found that Lin Dong was also at home in such a strange place.
She quietly.
Close to Lin Dong's side.
This clever fox girl has a strong sixth sense, and she believes that in this underground world with many monsters, there is no safer place than his side.
"Are you here to protect me?" Lin Dong didn't expose her, and gave her an excuse in turn.
"Mr. Wood, you're the most important, aren't you?" What a character Fox is, as soon as he heard this, he immediately squeezed a female soldier away and walked intimately next to Lin Dong's body, and people who didn't know looked like they would almost suspect that this was a couple. The female soldier who was squeezed out of the way tried several times to regain her position, after all, her mission was to 'protect' the target, but no matter how hard she tried, she was easily defused by Fox.
"......" Lin Dong smiled, although this fox girl was also very troublesome, but she finally got rid of a temporary bodyguard.
Enter the aisle on the left.
Josiah had already led his genetic soldiers away.
The screams that came out earlier, all the soldiers who entered saw the answer.
It was a well-shaped trap formed by several ground spikes, and a genetic soldier stepped on the mechanism, and he didn't even have a chance to react, so he let the javelin pierce the nails and die. Because of the piercing of the heart, lungs, throat, and forehead, the genetic soldier died instantly, and the strengthened body turned into a gradually cooling corpse without any effect.
"This mechanism is something we've never triggered before!" said little Eric's eyes.
"Some traps, which change over time, move continuously in a predetermined area, so that intruders are prevented from recording information about the trap and preventing intruders from dodging and destroying traps. Lin Dong observed the well-shaped trap: "This should be that trap." ”
"I see, Mr. Wood, can you deduce how it works?" and little Eric found that Mr. Wood was capable of anything.
"No, it would be a very complex and huge project, no less than cracking the telegraph code. Lin Dong shook his head.
Joke.
How is it possible to tell you such a secret?
Don't think that you can buy me off by showing such a small thing, just by your God's eye?
Bypassing the trap, Lin Dong and the soldiers continued to move forward, walked for more than ten minutes, and bypassed a fork again, this time the fork was no longer abnormal, and it was very safe to pass guò, but just when everyone thought it was safe, they were suddenly at the back of the line.
There was a terrible cry for help......
"Help!"
Then anyone with a keen ear could clearly hear the sound of the heavy object being dragged, and this dragging sound faded away very quickly, and when little Eric rushed to the end of the line, he found a trail of drag far away into the darkness of the tunnel.
On the ground, only the missing soldier's gun remained. (To be continued......)
