Chapter 246: The Mystery Rises
Dozens of hideous xenohunters were entrenched on the nearby rocks, staring at Ada and Rachel who were on guard below, and only then did Rachel notice that she and Ada had fallen into the encirclement of the xenohunters at some point...
"What the hell is going on..."Looking at the alien hunters who surrounded him and Ada in disbelief, Rachel could hardly imagine why the hunters who had not been around were overthrown in the blink of an eye, but this is the case, and the large number of alien hunters in front of him is the best evidence.
And this time, even Rachel's own foreboding of the coming crisis didn't work, and these alien hunters appeared in front of them so suddenly, it was simply unguardable...
The alien hunters, who had appeared strangely as if they had been lurking for a long time, were ready to attack, and their powerful hind limbs began to accumulate, and a large amount of viscous saliva spread between the metal teeth like silver, dripping to the ground and immediately producing a trace of white smoke, and the sizzling sound was extraordinarily harsh in the quiet environment.
"......" silently placed the torch in his hand between the rock walls beside him and fixed it, Ada firmly grasped the spear left by Solri and guarded against the alien hunters who appeared around him, even if he knew that he had no chance of winning, he did not intend to give up just like that.
Rachel, on the other hand, took off her longbow in silence, but the distance between Rachel and the alien hunter didn't have much effect on the bow and arrow, and she didn't even have enough time to shoot, so now the longbow in her hand could only give Rachel a boost of courage...
Suddenly!
As if receiving some order, the alien hunters who were originally on standby left their positions one after another, and rushed towards Rachel and Ada at their fastest speed!
The spectacular scene of the alien hunters swarming from all directions made Ada tighten the spear in his hand again, but unfortunately now he was not facing the one or two alien hunters he encountered before, but dozens of alien hunters launched an all-round attack!
Ada's resistance was doomed to be futile, and the alien hunter who pounced on the two of them like a locust crossing the border completely covered them in the blink of an eye...
---------------------------- Dividing Line-----------------------------
Zhuxingzhen and Sori, who had brought out the physical fitness of the Ultra clan, were hurrying to the location of the gathering place, but halfway through, Zhuxingzhen suddenly found that the induced frequency fluctuations between the planets seemed to have started a new round of activity, causing Zhuxingzhen to once again be unable to clearly understand the gathering place and the situation of Rachel and Ada.
This situation made Zhuxing really feel that Rachel and the two were very likely to be attacked by the alien hunters, but now they and Sori were not far from the gathering place, and if they rushed back to Rachel's location, it would be too late, and it might even lead to a situation where both sides could not be recovered in time, so Zhuxing really could only choose to let Sori rush back to support Rachel, while he continued to rush to the gathering place.
After Sori learned of Rachel's situation and began to rush back, Zhu Xingzhen also marched again, rushing to the Tut gathering place that was raided by alien predators, but when Zhu Xingzhen arrived at the gathering place, he found that there were three alien hunters at the entrance of the cave in the gathering place, wandering in all directions and guarding, as if to prevent outsiders from entering the cave and reaching the gathering place.
And the appearance of the stars really caught their attention for the first time, among them, the alien hunter closest to the stars immediately rushed to the stars, and at the same time, the hideous tubular mouth full of sharp teeth in the mouth also shot towards the stars like a sharp arrow, the screaming sound driven by the ejection of the tubular mouth showed its power, if it was hit, it would definitely be a strong piercing!
It's a pity that the enemy this xenohunter is facing now is not the creatures it has killed in the past, but the stars.
Although the tubular mouth, which is a major attack weapon for alien hunters, has an extremely fast speed, the stars really react more quickly!
Just as the tubular mouth full of danger was about to hit, Zhu Xingzhen suddenly turned his head to dodge the killing blow, and then stepped forward in front of the alien hunter before he could react, and pressed the head of the alien hunter with his left hand and hit it directly to the lower jaw of the knee lift, this sudden counterattack and good strength immediately caught the alien hunter off guard, and the tubular mouth that had not yet been recovered was directly bitten off by its own metal teeth under the double attack of Zhu Xingzhen, Thick green blood immediately spilled out of its mouth.
Zhu Xingzhen, who had seen the strong corrosiveness of the blood of the alien hunter just now, and had been prepared for emergency preparedness long before the attack, quickly withdrew his knee to attack, and then grabbed the arm of the alien hunter with his right hand and threw it out reflexively, and the other two alien hunters rushed in the middle, and the two alien hunters were both knocked to the ground.
And Zhu Xingzhen also took advantage of this gap to summon the Otesello glasses from the Palazzi bracelet, and then skillfully folded them into a shooting mode, aiming at the three-headed alien hunter who quickly got up after falling to the ground and fired three rays of turquoise light in pursuit.
The three-headed alien hunter who was hit by the turquoise light was immediately covered in light, and was immediately purified into light particles and dissipated in place.
After quickly cleaning up the three alien hunters who were responsible for guarding the entrance of the cave, Zhuxing really walked into the dim cave non-stop, the dark environment could not obscure his vision at all, and when he walked to the location of the stone gate, he found a surprising scene.
On either side of the first stone gate lay the corpses of two xenohunters, and the stone gate that served as a line of defense showed signs of corrosion, making it easy for the stars to deduce the cause of all this.
The method of the alien hunter to break this stone gate is very simple, directly using his own highly corrosive blood as the source, brutally corroding the life-saving stone door, and in order to hurry, he deliberately used two alien hunters to bleed to improve the efficiency of corrosion, and finally the price of breaking the stone gate is the death of the two alien hunters - that is, the two corpses in front of Zhu Xingzhen's eyes now...
In order to break the stone gate in the gathering place, the alien hunters can actually choose to sacrifice their own kind to achieve their goals, but the stars really don't think that these hunting aliens will have this kind of self-sacrificing consciousness, there must be a pair of invisible hands behind the scenes that are pushing all these things to happen, that is to say, these alien hunters are controlled by some kind of creatures!
Why is it necessary to occupy the gathering place with such great difficulty? In order to achieve the goal, he can even sacrifice the lives of the alien hunters, just to improve the efficiency of the corroded stone gate, and can also accurately command the alien hunters to arrive at the hidden gathering place, and even breaking the stone gate defense line seems to have been premeditated...
This strange operation around the mastermind behind the scenes, full of all kinds of mysteries, but unfortunately the current stars really don't have time to analyze and dismantle the mysteries one by one for the time being, because the main purpose of his trip is to rescue the Tut people in the gathering place, especially after seeing the extreme methods of the alien hunters to break through the defense line of the stone gate...
Walking quickly through the remaining four stone gate defense lines, the corpses of the alien hunters who fell next to the four stone gates that Zhu Xingzhen saw continued to increase as the thickness of the stone gate's defense increased, until there were as many as seven alien hunters who fell by the last stone gate!
There was no time to wonder, Zhu Xingzhen had already arrived at the core of the gathering place after passing through the last stone gate defense line, and the first thing that caught his eye was that the number of hundreds of alien hunters was constantly wreaking havoc in the mountain buildings, most of the young and strong Tut youths were fighting with those fierce hunters, and those old and weak women and children who were protected were mostly captured by the alien hunters, fortunately the alien hunters did not seem to have any intention of killing them, So by the time the stars really came back, there were no real casualties among the Tuts.
Only those Tut strong men who are still struggling to resist were torn out by the alien hunters, although there are also alien hunters who were killed by the Tuts who fell to the ground at will, but the alien hunters have always followed the order to capture them alive, and did not kill those strong men, but just kept wandering around them to consume their physical strength, I believe that if the stars did not appear, this situation would not have lasted long...
Just as the stars appeared, a young Tut warrior was knocked down by a sturdy alien hunter, and although the scimitar in the young Tut man's hand stabbed the alien hunter, the scimitar itself had been corroded by the corrosive blood, causing him to lose the ability to attack at this moment.
The alien hunter who forcibly stopped the young Tut warrior opened his bloody mouth, and then secreted a large amount of viscous saliva and sprinkled on his body under the young warrior's terrified gaze, and the saliva began to spread immediately after being stained on the young warrior's body, gradually forming a tough and sticky substance as the saliva increased, gradually enveloping the subdued young warrior into a viscous cocoon-like substance formed by saliva.
This ability is the innate ability of the alien hunters, through which they completely block the actions of the creatures selected to become the parasites of the face-hugging insects, so that the parasitism of the face-hugging insects can proceed logically, and this slime also has hypnotic and slightly paralyzing properties, which can make the selected host creatures as little as possible to struggle, so that the eggs of the face-hugging insects are laid into the host, and a new alien hunter is born.
Not only the young warrior, but also the old and weak women and children before the arrival of the stars, as well as the defeated Tut warriors, were all wrapped in slime into a cocoon and placed aside, which not only could demoralize the Tut rebellion, but also facilitate their later work.
The young warrior felt his body covered in the damn slime, and as the slime spread, the young warrior only felt more and more lethargic, but the reluctance in his heart was supporting his will at the moment, but unfortunately this situation did not last long...
Just as the slime cocoon-like substance on the young warrior's body was about to take shape, a turquoise light suddenly appeared in the young warrior's line of sight, and it was also a turquoise light that appeared in his line of sight behind the alien hunter's body in front of him!
Before he could be puzzled, the dark body of the alien hunter in front of him who was pierced by the light was quickly covered by the light, and finally turned into light particles that were purified and dissipated into nothingness...
.....
After hearing that Rachel and Ada were likely to be attacked by alien hunters, Sori asked Zhu Xingzhen for the task of rescuing the gathering place, and then rushed back to support Rachel and Ada himself, but when he returned to the place where he was separated from Rachel along the same road, all he saw was the empty field, and the blood-stained Ada was lying on the ground, life and death unknown...

(Today's first shift, I originally planned to break out three watches every day for the seven days of the National Day, but unfortunately I unknowingly went to the post bar all night last night, and my mental state was not good, so I can only have two shifts at most today... )
