Chapter 384: Keep going
Although there was no news of Garugo, there was no response after several calls.
But the Dragon Eagle Squad still has to move on.
After passing through the entrance of the fifth floor, there is an empty field in front of it, and in the middle there is an upward stepped stone platform, which is supposed to be used for sacrifices.
Since the team's propulsion ability has been reduced a lot, the "Divine Thunder" has slowly caught up.
The beasts here are similar to the fourth layer, except that there are a lot more beasts with exoskeleton armor.
Although this thing does not have a strong breakthrough power in front of the teams defending the formation, the lethality of ordinary weapons against them is also limited, and it cannot cause much damage.
The beasts surrounding the altar slowly approached this way, and it seemed that they didn't want the mechs to get close.
"We try to avoid the altar, there is a secret passage under the altar above, and there is a lair of wild beasts inside." The vice-captain reminded as he instructed the firefighters to repel the beasts that tried to touch them.
"I'm afraid this guy's size is hard to get used to." Barrett glanced back at the "Divine Thunder", and since Hanyu hadn't woken up yet, the thing was still moving forward automatically.
As more and more beasts gathered, the whole team gradually evolved from advancing to defending.
But "Divine Thunder" did not give them the idea of time, it still maintained an even speed to move forward.
Soon it was within the range of the beast's attack.
Of course, these creatures, who could only attack with their claws and fangs, were unable to tear through the heavy armor, and were instead trampled under the feet of four wide cruciform mechanical feet.
At first, the Dragon Eagle Squad was still rejoicing that the pressure had been relieved.
But soon they found out about the danger, and soon the beast began to attack the joints of the mechanical legs.
Suddenly, the armor of a beast got stuck in the joint, grinding out sparks and making a loud click.
The problem was that the first mechanical leg on the right side was unable to move forward, which soon caused the "Divine Thunder" to change its direction.
Barrett was the first to realize the seriousness of the problem, and once the "divine thunder" threatened the beast's lair, he was afraid that something would happen............
He scurried behind the shell of the "Divine Thunder" and tried to open the hatch.
But at this time, the piece of armor that was stuck in the joint finally collapsed and flew out.
The mech almost fell to the ground with a screech, but was quickly corrected by the automatic balance control.
Barrett was shaken, and he almost fell under the mech, only one hand still clutched at the handle.
"Day!" Even if his physical strength is high, he loses his balance.
It was such a delay that the "divine thunder" rushed to the altar.
The beasts around them howled, and at once they surrounded them.
Everyone's hearts were pinched, the team had lost its main force, but at this time, there was such a thing.
Several members of the Dragon Eagle Squad immediately rushed forward, wanting to share the pressure on the mecha.
But soon they realized that this was a drop in the bucket, and the mad beast stopped them at once.
In just one photo, three team members were injured, and one team member even had one arm torn off.
"Stop the bleeding!!" The vice-captain let out a loud shout, and his knife in both hands slashed down, slashing the beast that was trying to pick up the cheap beast in two.
It's just that soon the light on his long knife is getting weaker and weaker, and it looks like his physical strength is about to be unable to keep up.
Pressing on the root of his teeth, he swung a knife with all his might, trying to break through to the vicinity of the "Divine Thunder".
Barrett finally turned on the back shell of the mecha again at this time, and he must stop "Shenlei" from continuing to advance towards the lair, otherwise he will soon be in big trouble.
Struggling to pull the manual lever, the hatch spewed out a wave of air, and finally opened slowly.
He looked inside, but Barrett saw a hand running straight down his throat.
“??” Ace couldn't do this kind of reaction speed, and Barrett instinctively clenched his hand into a fist.
I saw Hanyu's eyes wide open, and he fell straight towards him.
Without bothering to close the hatch, Barrett elbowed Hanyu against the bulkhead and lifted the lever with one hand.
"Divine Thunder" finally began to turn and cut outward.
But more and more beasts came around, and even the hatches that were not closed were trying to sneak in.
Barrett kicked the dead guy out of the way, and he asked a little strangely, "Why is there hostility?" What happened? ”
Yes, Kama must have invaded their bodies and been cleared and transformed, but now something seems to have gone wrong?
"It's not hostility." Kama's voice was a little sour, and she seemed to know why Hanyu did it.
"She just wants to hug you as a sign of closeness." There was a hint of schadenfreude in Karma's voice, as if this kind of thing was something to be heard.
It's just that Hanyu still tried to reach out and grab Barrett, but her strength was really different from someone's.
"Showing closeness?? What the heck! As soon as he pressed the attack button, Barrett forcibly activated the electric shock.
Originally, it was impossible to use electric shocks at such a close distance, so the autonomous attack did not have any effect.
But if he didn't fight back, he was afraid that even the Dragon Eagle team would die here, so he directly used this kind of gameplay that was likely to lose eight hundred.
I saw the "divine thunder" standing still, with the stun gun on his shoulder and raised it upright.
Two robotic arms shoot steel nails not far away, creating a circular area on the ground.
Zila!
Electricity began to beat on the stun gun, and bright white lightning flashed continuously.
The deputy team jumped out of the range of steel nails again and again and withdrew towards their own teammates.
Of course, he knew how damaging the blow was.
"Erect an earthen wall!!" Seeing that the electric shock was about to fall, he commanded.
The only person in the team who has the ability to release the earth system immediately urged the ability, and a wall of earth about two meters thick rose from the ground, enveloping several people inside.
Barrett scrambled to cope, and finally closed the hatch the moment the electric shock was fired.
Even so, his left hand was swept by the free current, and in an instant his fingers were blackened.
Violent currents converged overhead, and then flowed back and forth like an electric umbrella on the steel nails nailed to the ground below, bringing out countless thunderballs and electric sparks.
The entire area seemed to be plowed by an electric current, and there was the snapping sound of electric sparks flying everywhere.
The two huge thunderbolts lasted for a full minute before they ended, and it has to be said that this blow used up almost one-third of the energy of the "divine thunder".
Of course, the effect is remarkable, and everything in the space of more than ten meters outside the range of the steel nails is blackened by electricity, whether it is the ground or the beast.
The stone floor was unexpectedly disintegrated, and in many places it became powdery.
The smell of scorching filled the air, and there was a dead silence throughout the altar.
In the mecha, Barrett looked at Hanyu in front of him in confusion, she obviously hadn't regained consciousness yet, but she was making a move.
Like a pet cat, she was holding Barrett's electrocuted fingers and licking them with her tongue.
"What's the situation??" His jaw almost fell to the ground, Barrett asked.
With Karma here, this level of energy can't hurt him at all, it just dyes him with some color.
As long as the epidermis fades, no trace remains.
It was precisely because of this that Hanyu, who had been struggling constantly, suddenly became docile, holding his fingers there............ Selling moe??
"Biological instincts, there is no way, I said they will be modified to a certain extent." Kama's gloating tone became more and more obvious, leaving Barrett speechless for a while.
"What are the sequelae, you can tell them together!" With a reprimand, Barrett looked around with his monitor.
Although the main monitor is almost finished, there are still two secondary monitors that can be used.
It's a good thing that there are no more beasts that can stand up in a considerable area around them, at least for the time being, there are no beasts that can hinder the retreat of the mech.
Set the direction, and Barrett prepares to leave the mech.
Just as he was about to open the hatch, he found that Hanyu had woken up.
She looked at the elbow that was still on her heart, and then looked at Barrett with a flushed face.
"You......... What are you doing?? Then she saw Barrett's hand in her hand, and his finger was on her mouth.
"I............ What the hell did I do? Hanyu, who was in a state of bewilderment, had a little bit of contrast, which made Barrett laugh too.
"You control the mecha to evacuate towards the sixth layer first, and I'll go and see the situation of the Dragon Eagle Squad." Patting her on the shoulder to signal her to settle down, Barrett commanded.
Flipping over and jumping off the mech, Barrett rushed towards the mound.
So far, there had been no reaction from the mound, and although he knew that the possibility of such an attack was very high, he still had to do it.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that the Dragon Eagle Squad will retreat with all their bodies, and it will be a matter of minutes for them to be wiped out.
A punch pierced the scorched mound of electricity, and Barrett threw his arms apart.
Sure enough, despite the thick earthen walls, they were not completely isolated from the electric shock.
Several of the people inside had their hair standing on end and their mouths foaming at the mouth.
Slapping their cheeks with his palm, it took them a while to come to their senses.
Fortunately, the current on the steel nail that has not completely dissipated is still beating from time to time, and for beasts that don't have much intelligence, this white thing is still very threatening.
"Are you alright??" After checking the status of several people, Barrett found that the situation was not too good, and I was afraid that they were about to run out.
Seeing that several of them had regained a little mobility, Barrett broke off and covered their retreat towards the entrance to the sixth floor.
"I'm afraid you can't go any further, so when you reach the next layer, call for reinforcements to retreat!" He commanded.
Although these people still have the will to fight, this thing is not a magic weapon for victory.
Therefore, it is a waste of sacrifice to fight with it, and it is better to retreat.
"It's okay! We can withstand it! Having said that, anyone could see their pale faces and stumbling steps.
Eventually, there was no more beating current on the nails.
Several beasts stepped forward to test it, and when they found that there was no threat, they angrily bit at the steel nails.
The other beasts also chased after them as if they had been ordered.
Barrett urged the Dragonhawk team to speed up, but he stopped.
If you don't stop them here, I'm afraid it's going to be bad......
At this moment, a black mist appeared in the air, forming a cyclone that rolled towards Barrett.
Naturally, the beasts that rushed over were not spared, and they crashed headlong into the mist!
A violent wail came from the mist, and then came to an abrupt end.
This abrupt sense of horror made everyone in the Dragon Eagle team palpitate.
They know what this fog is, the black plague!
The vice-captain gritted his teeth and tried to turn back.
Who knew that there was a cry in the fog: "Don't come here!" Remove!! ”
He was startled by the voice, which was Barrett's.
Then a dull thunderbolt sounded in my ears: "This is an order!" Retreat now! ”
Although he is not subordinate to Barrett, any command at this time can evoke the instinct of survival in his heart.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he turned and retreated, leaving the area of the black mist.
Standing in the black fog, Barrett wasn't so scared.
With Karma here, this kind of thing that Karma doesn't like at all can't do him any harm at all.
Sure enough, just as he imagined, although the black mist kept trying to invade his body, it couldn't pose a threat at all.
Even he found that not only Kama could smooth out the black mist at will, but even the gadgets were not afraid of this thing at all.
The strange thing is that it can also swallow the black mist that is close to it, and it seems to like to eat it very much.
Sure enough, after a stalemate, the Black Plague couldn't help Barrett at all, and it itself suffered great damage.
Not only was the energy consumed a lot by Kama, but the number of individuals was also swallowed up a lot by the gadgets.
On the other hand, the gadgets have proliferated to a considerable extent, and their size has more than tripled.
Good guys, this thing turned out to be a tonic for the little guys.
It's no wonder that Karma says it's nothing more than a means of transport, and that this thing is purely a provision of the existence of a number of individuals compared to a tool for transformation.
The Black Plague was so frightened that it tried to retreat, only to find that it couldn't come as it had come.
Karma interfered with the link between it and the individual, and to put it bluntly, took over control of it.
The gadgets are constantly devouring its individual, making it weaker and weaker.
There was a scream, and the black one was begging for mercy.
Although it could only make a simple wail, Barrett could feel its pitiful pleading.
The feeling was more inclined to the emotion of the creature itself, and Barrett felt the grief of the gadget before.
Sighing, Barrett said, "It's surrendered, let it go." ”
Karma then stopped cramming, which was almost like death.
But the gadget was like an underfed puppy, constantly jumping on Barrett's arm, showing his displeasure.
With a gentle tat on the gadget, Barrett motioned for it to return to its place.
The gadget slid back to Barrett's place.
However, it was also satisfied, at least it had grown several times in size.
The black mist was only a fist-sized mass, swirling back and forth around Barrett, but he couldn't move away.
"Let this guy go, and he'll soon be able to reproduce again." Kama wouldn't be affected by this kind of sorrow, if it weren't for the fact that eating this guy directly would make the instability increase, I'm afraid I would have killed it a long time ago.
That's why she let the little guy eat it, and the big deal was that she squeezed the red thing like toothpaste, transforming this runaway individual into a normal one.
That's what the core does.
Barrett, of course, knows how to reproduce, and that is to eat other creatures or objects.
"Is there a way to lock it up?" He scratched his head, still not giving the order to fix it.
