Volume 1 Departure Chapter 28 The Marauder
After Ling An narrowly dodged the blow, he fixed his eyes.
"067, don't panic."
Ling An squinted slightly.
This guy in front of him, he'd seen it in an alien monster identification class.
Slightly taller than a human, covered in a dark red carapace, with a slender head and a pair of compound eyes, it stood on its feet like a human.
What Ling An and Xiang Qingsong cared about the most was its scythe-like forelimbs.
This alien creature has a chilling name: the Marauders.
When a guerrilla unit is on a mission, in addition to the most common encounter with the Crimson Demons, there is also the possibility of encountering some wandering alien creatures.
Marauders are one of the most dangerous of all.
Not only does its carapace have more defense than the Crimson Goblin, but it also gives the Marauder a degree of optical stealth.
The ends of the forelimbs, glowing with cold light, seem to be the sharpest blades, with the power to cut through the standard armor.
Ling An recalled what the instructor had said about the raiders.
He is fast, has a lot of patience, and has intelligence that far surpasses that of the Crimson Demons and rivals that of humans......
Although Ling An's own early warning of danger allowed them to react and avoid the moment the raiders launched a sneak attack from invisibility, the form at the moment was not very good.
Ye Zixu and the others were originally opening the way ahead, and those cannon fodder-type scarlet demons couldn't stop these training soldiers who were equivalent to D-class warriors in the virtual space.
But now, when the raiders attacked, the scarlet demons began to use tactics as if they had been commanded.
When a Crimson Devil pounces on him, another Crimson Devil will attack from another direction.
And these scarlet demons are still consciously separating everyone little by little, grinding them to death with their numerical superiority.
And Ye Zixu was also very anxious at this time.
Although all the scarlet demons here were attracted to them, Ling An and Xiang Qingsong's side were facing a raider!
"Get out of here!" Ladybug 233 slashes off the claws of a Crimson Demon, but when he tries to decapitate it, the Scarlet Devil quickly retreats.
At the same time, a chill came from behind him.
"Bang!"
Ye Zixu shot the head of the scarlet demon behind Ladybug 233.
"Thank you!"
Without other words, Ladybug 233 concentrated on the annoying reptiles in front of him.
The wounded Scarlet Demon would still wait in the rear for his injuries to heal under the cover of his companions, which made the training soldiers even more anxious.
Although it was impossible to kill the trainers with more than a dozen cannon fodder-type scarlet demons, it was still possible to drag them and make them unable to rescue Ling An, who was the target of the mission.
At this moment, Ling An and Xiang Qingsong maintained a high degree of vigilance, facing the raider, slowly distancing themselves from it.
"Don't turn around and run away in front of the raiders, exposing your back, that's killing yourself." So said the instructor of the Swan Camp of the Alien Monster Discrimination course.
One miss, and the Marauder doesn't show any mood swings.
The two forelimbs were raised high, and the sharp sickle flashed with cold light, pointing directly at Ling An and Xiang Qingsong.
I don't know if the virtual system wants to simulate the most realistic situation, this raider body is upright, as if a proud person is holding a double knife, and the pair of compound eyes are not looking directly at Ling An and the two at all.
"067, how many bullets do you have left for your revolver?" Ling An asked in a low voice.
"There was only one shot......," Xiang Qingsong said in a deep voice.
"You give me the knife, and you can take all my hot weapons and take cover from a distance." Ling An said.
Xiang Qingsong was stunned for a moment, Ling An was going to entangle with this looter at close range?
The hind limbs of the Marauders bounce extremely well and are extremely fast.
Normally, it is entangled with fighters who are good at melee combat, and a sniper from a distance can be killed with a single shot.
But at this time, there is no one here to pester this guy......
At least that's what Xiang Qingsong thinks.
Just looking at Ling An's determined eyes, and considering that he probably couldn't survive three moves, Xiang Qingsong still gave his knife to Ling An.
With the two knives in his hands, Ling An's eyes showed a touch of excitement.
In a year, under the guidance of various instructors, I have conducted a lot of training.
Ling An has never forgotten the scene when Ladybug 236 Qin Han pushed himself away and was killed by the Scarlet Demon.
He was essentially unwilling to owe anyone, but unfortunately, he was unable to compensate Qin Han.
Case......
Only by killing the alien race can Ling An feel better.
Now in this virtual space, he has the power of a D-class warrior, and it is not difficult to kill ordinary scarlet demons.
But he's never fought with any alien creature other than the Crimson Demons.
After the failed sneak attack, the raiders didn't seem to care about Ling An's preparations.
It stood there, not interfering with Ling An and Xiang Qingsong exchanging equipment at all.
It wasn't until Ling An was ready that the raider gently shook his scythe-like forelimbs.
In an instant, the Marauders were gone!
Ling Anxin was alarmed, and he only saw the movement of the raider's hind limbs jumping.
There was a sound of breaking the air overhead, Ling An didn't think about it, and his body retreated violently.
Whoa—
Ling An narrowly avoided the blow, but two blood marks appeared on the front of his shoulders.
The shoulder hurts hotly, and the virtual space simulates the pain very realistically.
Ling An's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't care about the pain, but the speed of the raiders.
He had already retreated as fast as he could, but he was still scratched by the forelimbs of the raider's scythe.
Moving his shoulders, which did not affect his movements, Ling An took a pose again.
The raiders seemed a little surprised this time.
But then, it opened its arms in an eerie position, and then exerted its hind limbs again.
Brush la-la-la-la-
Scythe Slash Storm!
Xiang Qingsong on the side looked at this scene in horror.
Isn't this the combat skill that the instructor gave them? How could this alien raider too?
Ling An was also taken aback when he saw this rapidly rotating slashing storm.
However, his mental qualities were not very comparable, and he leaned down at the moment, placing a slashing blade on top of his head, and the other straight at the revolving lower half of the raider's rapidly rotating body.
Dealing with Slash Storm, either interrupt with absolute power or defense, or open the distance, or attack the user's lower plate.
And except for the last one, Ling An couldn't do it at this time.
However, he underestimated the raider.
When he saw Ling An directly attacking his lower limbs, the raider instantly shifted his center of gravity, and his rapidly rotating body tilted towards a position a little below.
Blablablalala-
A piercing grinding sound came from where the slashing blade and the marauder's forelimbs touched.
Fortunately, as the main melee attack weapon, even if it is a standard weapon, the slashing blade has a property that is far tougher than that of an armed warframe.
And feeling the power of the raider's slashing storm, Ling An was also in his heart.
Sure enough, the Marauder's strength surpassed that of a D-class warrior, and I am afraid that it would have to be at least C-rank to be able to go toe-to-toe with its slashing storm.
The tiger's mouth cracked slightly, and Ling An desperately broke away before being completely wrenched into the slashing storm.
However, because of this meal, it also created an opportunity for Xiang Qingsong.
Rumble!
A powerful revolver blaster that collides directly with the Marauder's Slashing Storm.
Under normal circumstances, such bullets would have been difficult to hit a marauder.
But because of Ling An's melee entanglement, the raiders couldn't dodge directly, which is why the best way to deal with the raiders was to close them from afar.
The blasting bullet forced the raider to stop, its forelimbs struggling to resist the powerful thermal weapon, but without a single scar.
Such a strong defense......
Looking at this scene, Ling An's eyes narrowed.
The best way to kill a Marauder is to start with its weak points.
The Marauder has a weakness, and that is in the crevices of its carapace.
Licking the blood from the crack of the tiger's mouth, Ling An felt a sense of competitiveness welling up in his heart.
He still doesn't believe it, he can't beat a simulation system?
This time, it was Ling An who took the initiative to attack, and the two knives were sharp and powerful, one knife and one sword, all of which slashed at the weak point of the raider's carapace defense.
If they were to cut off somewhere else, the raiders would have been able to resist with their carapace in exchange for a chance to strike a fatal blow to themselves.
Under the battle of one person and one alien race, the speed of both sides was very fast, and the raiders consciously kept changing their positions with Ling An, making it impossible for Xiang Qingsong in the distance to use thermal weapons to support.
If it weren't for the distance, Xiang Qingsong would have had time to react, and the raiders might have used their speed to finish Xiang Qingsong first.
But Ling An was actually able to entangle the raiders to death, which surprised Xiang Qingsong and was also pleasantly surprised.
Look at yourself, it seems that you can't help this side at the moment......
His gaze swept over a scarlet demon who was close to him, and Xiang Qingsong's eyes rolled.
The scarlet demon had just retreated under the cover of its companions, the horns on its head had been shaved off, and only half of the palm was left on one of its claws, and while the dark green blood was dripping down, some of the flesh buds were repairing and emerging from the wound at a speed visible to the naked eye, recovering its injuries.
The trainer who cut off its horns was a little anxious, there were two scarlet demons in front of him, and he finally crippled one of them, but because of the cover of the other one, he couldn't deal a fatal blow to the scarlet ghost, and could only watch it recover in the rear.
And himself, his physical strength has gradually begun to run out.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was an explosion, and the trainer was shocked to see the scarlet ghost's head burst open.
Not far away, Xiang Qingsong pretended to blow the muzzle of the gun easily.
If you can't break through the raiders' defenses, can't you break through the defenses of this cannon fodder-type scarlet demon?
Dare to turn your back to yourself, the scarlet demon simulated by the system is at this level?
At this moment, Xiang Qingsong heard an even more violent collision sound from the direction of Ling An and the raiders.
He hurriedly turned around.
If it was because of their own negligence that Ling An was killed by the unscrupulous raiders, their mission today would not be easy to complete.
But this time, Xiang Qingsong was shocked to see that the raider was actually suppressed!
And Ling An's move to suppress it was the slashing storm.
If you think about it, maybe this skill was inspired by this raider.
Previously, taking advantage of the fact that the raider was shot in the head by Xiang Qingsong, the scarlet demon attracted attention, and Ling An seized the opportunity to force the raider's two forelimbs away.
Then his body spun rapidly, and the two slashing blades were like the scythes of the raiders, and the whirling force continued to leave slashes on the raiders' carapace.
Human beings are good at learning and comparing combat skills?
He would too!
