Chapter 3: The Demon Hunting Mantis
Li Mu looked at the deep cave and glanced back at Shen Luoyan, who was a little cowering.
"Miss Shen, you are really ready to stay at the entrance of the cave with me."
"Of course! Just a few monsters, how can they scare the old lady. ”
Shen Luoyan's eyes rolled slightly, glanced at Li Mu, and stood a little back. She had the Type 58 military shotgun in her hand. This shotgun has a caliber of 18.4mm and a tubular magazine that can hold seven shotguns. The assembled Type 58 anti-personnel shotgun uses tungsten alloy projectiles, which have strong penetration.
Li Mu glanced at her.
"Don't pull the trigger and beat me all over the butt when the time comes."
Pig teammate: He has too much to see in the Sword of Dawn. Most novices, when they see a monster, the first thing they do is usually scream and shoot indiscriminately. The probability of hitting a teammate is much higher than that of an enemy.
Ignoring Miss Shen, who was a little angry, he picked up a roll of carbon fiber saw wire, tightened it horizontally at the entrance of the hole, and pulled four of them, sealing the entire hole. These saw wires are made of four strands of carbon fiber wire, with sharp serrations, which can withstand dozens of tons of tensile force, and are very strong.
Pulling out a stun bomb, he pulled off the latch and threw it straight into the hole.
As soon as he retracted his back, he found that Miss Shen was curiously probing her brain into the hole, and he was so frightened that he directly held her in his arms and covered his eyes with his hands.
"You don't want your eyes!"
scolded, he really can't take such a teammate.
"Bang!"
The loud noise was still very dull even through the narrow passage. Even when he closed his eyes, Li Mu's eyelids still felt a burning sensation.
"Hey, Li Mu, are you okay?"
Shen Luoyan, who was shrinking in Li Mu's arms, said quietly, her face a little red. She only knew how to whip people with a stick, but she didn't know that the power of the shock bomb was so strong.
"Don't be so presumptuous."
Li Mu let go of her.
Beneath the dark opening, there was a sharp chirping. "Babble." It was as if there were countless huge insects crawling.
"Li Mu, will we get hurt?"
"As long as you don't hit me, you generally won't get hurt."
Li Mu took out a piece of metal from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and blew it. The sound of the metal piece blowing is very high-pitched, which makes the chirping sound below even sharper.
With a buzzing flap of its wings, a monster flew out of the ground, with an inverted triangular brown head covered in a metallic chitin exoskeleton. Underneath the two pairs of tentacles are a pair of large compound eyes, reflecting light from the outside world. At the bottom are sharp mouthparts, with a huge bite force enough to bite through the steel pipe.
[Demon Hunter Mantis, Mutant Creature/Living Creature/Elite Creature, Total Level 15 (Level 15 Mutant Creature)]
Li Mu knew what these monsters were. They are the underground demon mantis, or at least as the locals call them, and they have become so integrated into the culture of the Highlanders that almost every parent uses them to scare their children who refuse to go to bed early. However, this is not nonsense in Gaogang Village, this group of praying mantis is here, I don't know how many residents of Gaogang Village have eaten.
There was a sharp grinding sound accompanied by the shrill screams of the monster, and sparks flew in all directions. The monster was dismembered into four pieces by a sharp saw line. A stump twitched, Li Mu shot the head of the demon hunting mantis on the ground, these praying mantis have extremely strong vitality, if they don't completely destroy their brains and central nervous system, they can still jump up and bite.
The smell of the same kind of blood stimulates the remaining demon hunting mantis in the cave, this social animal, very sensitive to the smell of blood of its own kind, will fall into madness when it smells its companion injured. This trait allows them to run rampant in the highlands and wastelands, and few monsters dare to provoke them.
This characteristic became the reason for their total annihilation, and one after another demon hunting mantis roared out of the cave, dismembered by the rope saw at the entrance of the cave.
Li Mu picked up the shotgun and smashed the monsters on the ground one by one, Shen Luoyan was stunned by the bloody scene in front of her, and she only reacted after hearing Li Mu's gunshot. Grab the shotgun and blast the stump on the ground.
"You just hit the limbs, leave the head to me."
【Demon Hunter Mantis Killed by You】
[EXP +85]
A barrage of system notifications almost filled the bottom right corner of his retina. Because it's not a frontal kill, the experience points are low, but it's still very rich.
In the early days, I don't know how many players were buried here, until someone discovered this monster-killing technique, which made it an endless stream of money points. The Demon Hunting Mantis' scythe feet can be sold for a lot of money, but now Li Mu doesn't have a backpack to hold them.
Tear down the saw rope stained with green viscous blood, and the mountain of monster remains collapses. A total of 12 Demon Hunter Mantis died here, contributing 1020 XP to him. He is not ready to upgrade, the militia profession is almost synonymous with cannon fodder, and the skills are also very weak, no matter how novice the player, he will not invest experience in this profession.
Li Mu took out a bag of glass beads from his pocket and poured them into the hole, these beads would emit a faint fluorescence in dark conditions.
Putting the photoelectric aiming system, which is similar to a monocle, on his right eye, Li Mu stepped on the viscous blood and walked into the hole. This is the high-end goods brought by Shen Luoyan. The glass beads that had been poured into the cave emitted this fluorescence, and under the magnification of the electro-optical targeting system, the entire cave was as bright as day.
"Li Mu, you have to be careful!" Miss Shen looked at Li Mu worriedly, walked into the cave step by step, and was engulfed in darkness.
Li Mu waved his hand behind him and put his hand on the handguard of the gun.
The cave was very quiet, only the sound of Li Mu's own footsteps.
The cave was not created naturally, but was excavated by the inhabitants of the Deccan Plateau in the old days in the sense of the threat of nuclear war. It's just that they didn't expect that the outside world would change so much under the action of nuclear radiation. became the first victim of the Demon Hunter Mantis's mouth.
Li Mu has seen the strategies of several famous teams to play this dungeon, and knows the general structure of this underground shelter, entering from this entrance, you have to pass through the residential area, toilets and warehouses in turn, and the last is a tunnel that leads directly to Gaogang Village. Gaogang Village was originally an indigenous town, and it was expanded on the original site when Zhuxia immigrated.
Li Mu pushed open an iron door full of claw marks and bullet holes, and he had the impression that the corpse should be there.
The bedroom was supposed to belong to a child, and there was apparently a big fight in it. A children's bed was erected to serve as a cover. The walls are riddled with bullet holes, and there are the remains of two Demon Hunter Mantis at the entrance.
He stepped inside, the battle had taken place a long time ago, an exoskeleton as tough as steel now brittle as plastic. Rummaging through the child's bed, he found the bones he was looking for.
The bones were cut in two at the waist, a masterpiece of the razor-sharp sickle-footed mantis. The ribs were all shattered, which was supposed to be an act of anger on the praying mantis after killing their enemies. It's no surprise that the Demon Hunter Mantis is a highly social mutated creature.
This is a spear and sword ranger senior, and what he wants is the proof of his inauguration. With both hands and ten, he silently apologized to the bones, and he rummaged through them.
Soon, he found his certificate of employment and hid it in the slats of the children's bed.
This is a diary, Li Mu flipped through it, and probably knew the before and after of the incident. Levi was a well-known ranger on the Deccan Plateau fifteen years ago and settled in Gaogang Village. In Gaogang Village, there are often incidents of sudden disappearances of residents. At that time, Levi's wife had just given birth to a daughter for Levi, named Li Min.
Li Wei, who loves his daughter, is afraid that his daughter will also disappear innocently, so he begins to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of residents. Astute, he relied on the clues of the spider and found the demon hunting mantis that had been secretly preying on the villagers. It's just that he underestimated the number of demon hunting mantis and was surrounded by the mantis in his lair.
A little embarrassed, he clutched this diary tightly, Li Wei's daughter Li Min may still be alive, in a sense, he can be called Li Wei's disciple, he has the obligation to take care of this girl.
[You have met all the conditions for the entry of the Sword Ranger, do you pay 100 XP to upgrade and take office?] 】
"Yes!" Li Mu clicked with his mind.
A force gushed out of the heart and flowed to the limbs, and for a moment, the whole body was warm, as if soaked in warm water. His strength and physique have been increased by 0.1 points, and his coordination and perception have been increased by 0.2 points.
Throwing all the experience into it, it instantly pushed the class of Gun and Sword Ranger to level 3.
[Level 3 Gun & Sword Ranger (450/500)]
[Career Specialty - Wilderness Tracking: No Trace of Spiders Can Escape Your Eyes]
Li Mu suddenly felt that his body was much stronger, the muscle fascia on his body was thicker, and his gestures were full of strength. The colors of the field of vision are also much clearer, the steps are lighter, and the walking is more coordinated.
A level 3 Spear and Sword Ranger can have a skill, and Li Mu chose Li Wei's boning swordsmanship. Another skill, precision shooting, doesn't mean much to him, and only novice players who are new to the game and have no knowledge of firearms will choose it.
And Levi's boning sword technique can be said to be all the unique skills of this inauguration certificate. Before joining the Sword Ranger, Levi worked as a hunter for a while. This is the swordsmanship he learned when slaughtering his prey, focusing on receiving the sword, listening to the strength, and moving the position. Listen to the sword when you receive it, judge the opponent's sword path, and move to grab the power point and attack position.
It's a subtle set of swordsmanship.
Each level up of the Gun and Sword Ranger will get a skill point, so the skill can be increased. Li Mu didn't use it immediately, skill points are very precious, only some advanced skills or partial skills that are extremely difficult to upgrade are worth using skill points to upgrade, and commonly used skills can be upgraded by using more than one use.
For a while, countless information and knowledge came into his mind, and Li Mu's head was dizzy, and it took a while to recover. He picked up Levi's other relic, a long sword that loomed in the cold.
This sword is a classic of the Yangjiang Eighteen Sons Samurai series, which has been marketed for sixteen years and has produced almost more than one million handles. Almost every wealthy swordsman will own one. Levi's handle is the fifth batch of products, and a dense layer of tungsten carbide dust adheres to the blade, almost shaving iron like mud.
Tie the scabbard strap on the ground to your body, and the hilt is facing the waist, making it easy to draw the sword.
The entire sanctuary had been trampled by the Demon Hunter Mantises, and the passages were strewn with marks from their claws. Levi tiptoed forward to the door of the warehouse.
A sound of wings flapping came from inside the warehouse.
Li Mu hurriedly stuck to the wall, held his breath, and observed the situation inside with the afterglow coffin in the corner of his eye.
He gasped.
A demon hunting mantis is flying out of a cave in the warehouse wall. It had a corpse in its mouth, placed it on the ground, and burrowed back into the burrow.
A level 15 elite monster is enough to kill more than ten adults in an instant. If he had come over with a big grin just now, I am afraid that before he could react, he would have become a trophy under the feet of the demon hunting mantis sickle.
The floor of the warehouse was already full of corpses that it had worked so hard to carry, more than thirty of them. Those corpses were those of Gaogang village residents and marauders. The corpse was riddled with bullet holes, and it was not killed by the Demon Hunter Mantis. This Demon Hunting Mantis was probably just carrying the corpse, so it wasn't attracted by the smell of blood of its kind.
