Because the mercenaries killed too quickly, the second group of monsters arrived without the help of the humanoid herd.

The second group of monsters, all from the depths of the tunnel, are four-legged reptilian creatures that are one and a half meters long and no more than 50 centimeters tall, carrying huge gray carapaces and hard, sharp armor on their tails. At the tip of the head grows a large set of large, multi-branched horns, which are protected by an emerald green ellipsoid in the center of the head, and a mouth full of sharp fangs is below the head.

For the time being, Lei Weiming called these monsters "horned shells". He gave the order, and all the soldiers opened fire on the horned husks. The metal barrage woven by the small-caliber rifle* does not penetrate the carapace and horns of the horned beast, only splashing a multitude of sparks on it.

However, when the bullet passes through the incomplete protection of the giant horn and falls on the emerald green ellipsoid of the horned beast's head, it can directly shatter the emerald green body, thus killing the horned shell.

Horned beasts move at speeds of up to 110 kilometers per hour, and large groups of horned shells move together like a moving carpet of gray cloth and green lights! The metal barrage collided with the herd of horned shells, and in the process, countless horned beasts were shattered and killed, and the dead horns were ruthlessly trampled by their companions, or flew directly to a height of more than two meters by the giant horns of their companions behind.

Obviously, these horned shells are higher than humanoids, and both are also plague species with large populations, but horned shells have faster speed, harder defenses, and stronger strength. Moving close to the ground makes it harder for them to break their mobility, and unless they are critical, they will continue to move at full speed until they impale an enemy with their giant horns!

After five seconds of high-intensity fire suppression, the mercenaries still couldn't stop the charge of the horned beast, and the two mercenaries jumped onto the machine gun position of the armored combat vehicle in one leap, and controlled the anti-aircraft machine gun to shoot out a meter-long tongue of fire and a furious chain!

The Hell Lions II team has abundant combat resources, and the army of dozens of horned beasts is simply not able to withstand the destructive power of the 14.5 mm caliber bullets that the anti-aircraft machine guns have paid for in exchange. The second group of monsters was also swept away by the mercenaries.

The battle took only 40 seconds from start to finish. The plague population that appeared in two batches at the same time, with combined lethality enough to shred apart the fourth-level mercenary group, was completely suppressed by the team led by Lei Weiming.

In the infrared visual field of the deputy captain, the mountain of corpses piled up by the horned shell beasts was originally "red light", and the red light continued to dim in the next 30 seconds until it was finally extinguished, which symbolized that the life activities of their bodies had reached the end.

The vice-captain told Lei Weiming about the situation. Since the large group of horned shells are completely dead, and no one pretends to be dead, the next step is to remove the corpses of these horned shells so that the convoy can pass through this part of the tunnel smoothly.

Through this battle, Lei Weiming basically determined that special plague species such as "shark lizard" and "fishing head deer" were formed by individual mutations, otherwise the attacks launched by plague populations would be more diversified, and in a small space, even if they had two anti-aircraft machine guns, they would inevitably produce casualties.

However, this does not mean that no other special plague species will evolve in this lair.

Twenty mercenaries walked from the rear to the front and began to carry the horned beasts through the pile of horned shell corpses. A horned beast is at least 20 kilograms, and the larger one is more than 30 kilograms. Lei Weiming wondered what this group of plague species had grown up eating. Since this tunnel has been opened by the plague species and connected to the mountain, then there should be one or several large-scale nutrient sources in the depths of the mountain to provide nutrients for this group of plague species, and let them reproduce and inhabit.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why hundreds of plague species would move in tunnels and mountains, instead of leaving here and going to the mountains and wilderness.

You must know that this horned shell beast is not * unable to cause harm, and if it rushes into the wilderness, I don't know how many homeless people and low-level security zones will be wiped out.

Lei Weiming gradually felt that this mission was a bit of B-level difficulty, and if there were a large number of similar plague species in the follow-up, and then a few special plague species were entrained in the attack, the danger might even rise to A-level! On the same level of danger is profit, and if they can solve the mystery of this plague nest, they will be paid hundreds of thousands, at least.

After 10 minutes, the convoy was able to move on. The convoy advanced another 1,000 meters, and after these 1,000 meters, the convoy was surrounded by a mixed army of more than 200 horned beasts and humanoids!

The battle was on the verge of breaking out, the line of fire was opened, the anti-aircraft machine guns roared like a storm, and a 50-meter tunnel was filled with bloody carnage. Plague species began to break through the fire net and bully the mercenaries to kill and injure the mercenaries with giant horns or bladed arms. When the first drop of human blood splattered onto the floor of the tunnel, it was as if the ring had been broken, and the one-sided battle turned into a life-for-life battle in which both sides were giving up their lives!

Suddenly, a large figure appeared from the end of the tunnel. The monster was more than 3 meters tall, and it was completely a zoomed-in standing type of a horned shell. Two rhinoceros legs support the body to stand on the ground, and four hands with sharp claws at the tip grow on the forelimbs. The front of the body of the "Giant Horn King" is also covered with a hard cuticle, and it is "rickety" with its body, and its emerald green ellipsoid grows on the top of its head more than 3 meters high, and it cannot be attacked at all by shooting head-on.

Lei Weiming put down the rifle that had missed the bullet, and on his indifferent face, his black eyes released a bloody murderous aura.

Some of his subordinates died, and even killing all these plague seeds was not enough!

Saying that it was too late, Lei Weiming opened his legs as strong as the wind, and rushed towards the slow-moving Giant Horn King, his right hand lightning swept over the tactical belt, and he drew a silver long whip! The Silver Whip is fully stretched and three meters long, making it the most conductive composite metal weapon made of silver-based material.

Lei Weiming's brain gives a command to the body, and the body organs of the electric eel release 800 volts of high-voltage current, which is directed into the low-resistance power guide suit, and then conducts it to the top of the silver whip!

With a loud bang, the silver whip struck the Giant Horn King's chest, and the Giant Horn King's body twitched suddenly, his muscles spasmed, and his whole body stiffened.

The corners of Lei Weiming's mouth were hooked, revealing a solemn smile. He swung the silver whip continuously, and the silver whip volleyed wildly, hitting the giant horned king 2 whips in 1 second, each whip applying an electric current starting at 800 volts.

Lei Weiming inflicted 5 seconds of electric shock torture on the Giant Horn King, and 5 seconds later, as the last whip carrying 1200 volts of electricity fell, the Giant Horn King collapsed with a disgusting burning smell all over his body.

"Brute, die." Lei Weiming said fiercely.

In the next second, the situation suddenly changed! The Giant Horn King was six-legged to the ground, and he actually launched a fierce charge! Its momentum is comparable to that of a train, breaking through the distance of three meters in an instant, like a mountain that symbolizes death crashing into thunder.
