Chapter 239: Black Venom (1/3)
Although Lawson encountered the monster, from the beginning to the end, he did not have a direct confrontation with the monster in terms of physical strength, and knew nothing about her strength and melee attack methods.
But judging from the details of the battle reflected in the short encounter, in terms of speed and defense capabilities, this monster is unusually powerful, and it should be at the same level as Veronica.
Veronica isn't used to using a musket yet, and if she despises her target and fights with her opponents hand-to-hand, she might suffer a big loss!
Thinking of this possibility, Rosen felt a little anxious.
'I have to get there as soon as possible!' ’
He activates his magic, draws energy from the energy pool, smoothly injects it into the air behind his body, and then explodes.
In an instant, he felt a huge thrust coming from his back, as if a powerful air hand grabbed his body and directly sent him flying.
"Whew~~~"
Lawson flew to a height of more than 20 meters, and at this altitude, he did not have to worry about hitting any buildings because of the high speed, and he could approach the target in a straight line.
"Knock~~Knock~~"
Two more gunshots rang out, pointing Rosen in a new direction.
Rosen immediately adjusted his direction, and at the same time accelerated the energy output, and the whole person flew towards the gunshot, reaching a speed of more than seventy meters in one second, faster than the fastest monster Rosen had ever encountered.
Actually, Lawson could be faster, but in this way, the speed at which the energy pool outputs energy will increase exponentially, and it will soon reach a point where Lawson can't afford it.
About eight seconds later, Rosen was in the sky above the gunshot.
This is the market in the docklands, there is a dry fountain in the middle of the market, and Veronica is standing in the middle of the fountain, and in the market square around her, there are 4 monsters dressed as ordinary people jumping around to dodge her bullets.
Rosen could see clearly that Veronica's clothes on the left waist were obviously damaged, and blood was constantly flowing down from the torn, and when she moved, her body was obviously not as flexible as usual. Clearly, she suffered a loss in the previous encounter.
He quickly landed next to Veronica and shouted, "Winnie, back to back!" ”
Veronica was also relieved to see Lawson arrive, and immediately stood back to back with Lawson, and at the same time raised the Destroyer musket, fired two shots at the two monsters that rushed forward, forcing each other back, and said loudly: "Watch out for these monsters, their nails are sharper than blades!" ”
"Understood." Lawson also fired two shots in a row at the monster.
As before, both shots missed, and these stiff monsters seemed to have a lot of experience in dodging firearms.
He immediately adjusted his tactics: "If one person misses, two people will hit together!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and stood side by side with Veronica: "Leave your back to me to deal with, concentrate on aiming!" ”
"Understood!" Veronica had seen Rosen's skills many times and was convinced by his words.
She lifted the Destroyer and pointed it at a monster and said, "Left one, the one in the red plaid suit!" ”
As the conversation sounded, she pulled the trigger.
"Knock~~" A gunshot rang out, and the monster in red plaid clothes immediately jumped to the side, and when he was in mid-air, when he had nowhere to borrow strength, Rosen followed closely and shot.
"Bang!"
The armor-piercing bullet whistled out, hitting the red checkered in the chest with precision, burrowing through its front chest and then out of its back, and the warhead began to churn inside its body, causing a terrifying cavity effect. From the front, the monster's body was only a finger-thick hole, but behind it, there was a huge blood hole with a diameter of more than 10 centimeters, and a large number of flesh fragments erupted from the hole.
The terrifying thing is that after suffering such a huge injury, the body of the red checkered monster was only slightly stunned, and after landing, it didn't even look at the wound on its chest, and still rushed forward quickly.
Rosen clearly saw that after a large amount of black viscous blood spurted out of the blood hole in the monster's chest, almost instantly, the wound was stuck with coagulated blood.
With such an injury, ordinary people died on the spot. Even a high-level monster can't bear it, and it's definitely a serious injury, but this monster doesn't itch or hurt, as if it was bitten by a mosquito.
Both Rosen and Veronica watched with horror.
"Again, head!" Lawson shouted.
"Understood!"
Veronica shot at the red checkered monster again, and at this moment, three other monsters rushed towards the two of them from three different directions, and the nearest monster was already less than half a meter away from Lawson.
Veronica found out what was going on behind her, and she was slightly distracted, and the hand that fired the gun shook uncontrollably and missed.
"Boom~~~"
Almost at the same time, Lawson used an energy explosion, instantly bursting out with 50 kilograms of equivalent energy, and bounced the three monsters close to his body out at once.
"Come again!" He yelled.
Veronica nodded, gathering her mind, ignoring the surrounding situation and concentrating on the red-plaid monster in front of her.
"Knock~~"
The monster jumped and dodged again, and when it was in mid-air, Lawson shot decisively.
"Bang~~"
Missed a shot.
As a target, the head is too small, and the monster is moving at high speed, and the difficulty of headshots is much higher than that of hitting the chest. Another reason is that Rosen's marksmanship can only be regarded as average, and the reason why he can maintain a high hit rate is because he has more hands on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is mainly due to the ultra-fast reaction speed brought by the undead physique.
But the problem is that when his opponent has monster-level speed, his hit rate flaws are exposed.
'When I get back, I'll have to get a laser sight.' The thought flashed through Rosen's mind, and then he shouted, "One more time!" ”
"Good!"
"Knock~"
"Bang~"
The second attempt was successful, and Rosen's armor-piercing warhead pierced through the red checkered monster's jaw and out of the back of its head, nearly blowing its head out.
Rosen clearly saw that the faint green light in the monster's eyes quickly extinguished, and its body also lost control in an instant and flew out backwards.
"Puff~~"
The monster fell to the ground, its body motionless, and it lost its breath of life.
Almost at the same time, Rosen felt a familiar feeling of vertigo in his head, a hint of gaining a large number of free talent points.
Rosen was overjoyed: "The first is useful!" Go on! ”
Now that we've found a way to deal with it, the rest of the matter is simple.
Lawson and Veronica work together to blow up a monster's head every two armor-piercing rounds. After about half a minute, Lawson consumed 8 armor-piercing shells and 150 kilograms of TNT equivalent energy to eliminate all 4 monsters.
From the point of view of energy consumption, this price is quite large, if the monsters come more, 10 or 20, then they may have to turn around and run for their lives.
Of course, it's not without gains, after killing these four weird monsters, Lawson gained 2 free talent points at once, which is an order of magnitude higher than killing ordinary monsters before. His current accumulation of free talent points has reached 8 again, and as long as he has 7 more points, after accumulating 15 points, he will be able to open the second key to the promotion of the Great Mage: the Magic Contract!
At that time, his strength will definitely have a qualitative increase.
But now he's still in danger, and it's not the time to think about that.
Lawson whispered, "Veronica, have you ever seen this kind of monster before?" ”
"Never." Veronica shook her head, she stared at the monsters on the ground, and whispered, "They seem to have been transformed from ordinary people, and they don't seem to have much autonomy except for attacking, and they look like puppets made by necromancers." ”
"That's a lot stronger than a necromancer's necromantic golem."
Rosen walked towards a monster corpse, and when he walked 2 meters away, he smelled a very pungent smell, he took a closer look at the corpse on the ground, and found that the corpse had begun to decompose, while rotting, there was white smoke coming out, and in just a dozen seconds, the corpse decomposed into a pile of black thick liquid.
Rosen shuddered when he saw it, and immediately said, "Let's go, let's get out of here quickly." ”
Veronica nodded and quickly followed Rosen.
After taking two steps, Rosen suddenly heard Veronica snort, he was shocked, and immediately turned his head, and saw Veronica tightly covering the wound on her left waist, looking very painful.
"How are you?" Rosen was taken aback.
"I don't know, the wound on my waist hurts, it's dull, it's painful and cold!" Veronica's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she soon couldn't stand up, her body swayed, and she was about to fall.
Lawson rushed up to hold her, then looked over to Veronica's left waist, and through the tear in her clothes, he could see the skin around the wound.
At this look, he couldn't help but gasp.
The skin near Veronica's waist wound turned blue-black, which was almost exactly the same color as the monster's skin, and what was even more terrifying was that the blue-black color was spreading to the surroundings little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.
