These signs also mean that there are potential unknown dangers in the underground ruins.

And, most likely, there is more than one.

"Your weapon is loaded, Stafford, and you're on alert at all times." Luke reminded in a very whisper, but he only drew his pistol.

The pistol is flexible to use, small in size, and easier to discard, making it more suitable for dealing with critical situations that may be encountered.

Stafford took the originally diagonal HK416 in his hand and made an OK gesture.

Wieland didn't speak, and that was no objection.

The three Luke moved on.

After walking in the dimly lit passage for a few more minutes, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly sounded not far away.

"It should be our people." Stafford reminded him quickly and quietly.

He is the head of security, and he handles the equipment and weapons in the team himself, so he knows which weapons are firing when he hears the gunshots.

Luke didn't say anything, just gave him two tactical sign language to make him more vigilant.

Quietly, Luke touched his chest, and a small mirror poked out of the passageway.

Outside, there is a large passage about seven or eight meters high and six or seven meters wide, with rows of statues on both sides of the passage.

More than a dozen members of the expedition were raising their guns and firing at the statue diagonally above, while one of the team members on the side wall had his head down.

The team's body didn't fall, and a strange metal spear pierced through his chest, pinning him firmly to the stone wall.

Luke squinted, not looking at the team members, but instead pointed the small mirror at a dark corner of the large passageway.

But he immediately looked in the mirror to another place, only to see an old statue.

The corners of his mouth curled, and Luke quickly lowered the Wieland on his back and gestured to Stafford behind him.

Stafford looked at his gesture and his nerves tensed.

He stepped forward and patted Wieland on the shoulder, slowly pushing back his boss away from the entrance of the passage, and then watched Luke slip out of the passage and stealth into the statue on the side.

The next moment, the corners of Stafford's eyes twitched.

As he could see from his angle, a thick metal spear in the hand of the statue that Luke had hidden began to move, slowly pulled into the darkness.

Woo!

In the dull sound of breaking wind, the metal spear, which was originally an ornament, turned into a black shadow, instantly swept through the space of more than ten meters, and shot into the dark corner above the large passage.

At the same time, the gun in Luke's hand also fired.

Bang Bang Bang!

The bullet was fired in a very different corner from the one where the decorative spear had been fired, on the other side of the passage.

In a few sparks splashing, tiny blue lightning flashed, and a burly figure loomed next to a statue above the passage.

This burly figure is humanoid as a whole, but its height reaches about two and a half meters, which is not like a human.

The expedition members in the passage found this burly figure, and before they could move the muzzle of their guns, they heard a strange and terrible roar, and they couldn't help but pause.

Only the two Wielanders, who had been following Luke's movements, noticed that the place where the strange roar came out was the corner where Luke threw his spear.

So, in addition to that burly figure, there is an enemy hiding in another corner in the passage?

The two of them felt chills in their hearts.

It wasn't Luke, they didn't even notice where the two enemies were.

In other words, if the two of them go in on their own, they will be in the same dilemma as the expedition team below, unable to detect the enemy.

Luke suddenly spoke: "Stafford, call your men to retreat." ”

Stafford hurriedly spoke: "Everyone retreat, this is our new teammate." ”

A group of panicked team members suddenly heard the voice of Stafford, the supervisor, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly followed their words.

In the flash of blue light, the burly figure did not stop the movement of the team members, but looked sideways at the direction where Luke was.

Luke's figure slowly stepped out of the darkness, his hands triangular and raised the gun in front of his eyes, aiming it at it.

The expedition members were able to identify Luke at a glance, and his equipment wore the logo of the Wieland Company, and the style was the same as that of the expedition.

But they just swept their eyes over Luke, but they didn't dare to stop at all.

The attack they had just received had left them scrambling and almost collapsing.

Stafford's voice over there continued to command: "Don't panic, stabilize the formation and retreat." ”

The security personnel in these team members are also well-trained, and even if they were panicked just now, they still maintained some basic defensive formations, so they were not easily killed.

Now, with Stafford in command, everyone had a backbone in their hearts, and they quickly retreated into the passage where Luke came out.

"Take them and evacuate slowly, I'll come to you when I solve this guy. Watch out for dark corners and overhead, there is more than one kind of monster here. Luke didn't reply.

Stafford hesitated and looked at Willand.

After all, Wieland is a long-standing boss, and after just a little thought, he nodded slightly and approved the proposal.

With the ability and character that Luke shows, he is not the kind of young man who has no brains and impulses.

The situation of saving this group of team members is also vivid in the instant just now, and he chooses to believe Luke.

He still remembers that Aoki, an extremely steady and cautious old fox, described Luke as "the best professional at dealing with violence".

Over there, the dozen or so surviving expedition members, led by Stafford, cautiously retreated the way they came.

In the passage, Luke and the burly figure stood silently.

At this moment, the distance was closer, and with the glowing rod thrown by the expedition members before, he could see the general appearance of this burly figure.

I saw that it was wearing a strange helmet with a round forehead.

The eyes of the helmet resemble gray lenses, and the cheeks have neatly symmetrical three rows of depressions, which look a bit like a cat's face.

There are also two rows of cannulas on the sides of the helmet, presumably to provide breathing gas, and dozens of hair-like strands on either side of the flank.

Of course, Luke knew it wasn't hair, and that wasn't right.

It has busts on its upper body, arm armor on its forearms, and leg armor on its lower legs, all of which shimmer with a dull metallic sheen.

And the details in this armor have a clear technological style, indicating that it is not pure protective ancient armor.

With Luke's eyesight and Stark's technological abilities, he was able to guess that there were a few locations that were supposed to be ports for other external equipment.

So, this guy is not a beast, it is an unknown creature with technology and civilization.

After a moment of staring with Luke, the cat-faced mask suddenly jumped from above.

Luke didn't shoot at it.

The opponent's action was not to pounce on him, but to simply jump off the ground.
