CHAPTER XXV

March 25, 10:05 a.m.

Thanks to the presence of Lodge, the Killy group was the first to reach the target location. As seen in the previous photo, the factory area in the southwest of Congzhou City is now a metal garbage dump. The neat rows of factories are filled with all kinds of discarded steel bars, iron frames and metal parts, just like a rain of metal garbage in the sky before, flooding the entire factory area, which looks shocking.

Jacky, Fanning, and Lodge were back to back, facing each other in three directions, carefully surveying their surroundings. They hadn't seen any monsters yet, but the jungle of steel was clearly for some kind of monster suited to this environment, and they might be hiding in it, ready to ambush at any moment. However, it was previously mentioned in the information that some kind of "large" creature appeared in this area. It just doesn't say how large it is. There are too many unknowns to be extra cautious.

Ji Kairui noticed a mountain of metal trash in the direction he was facing. Compared to the surrounding area, this hill stands out from the crowd. The metal waste around the factory is mostly tiled, except for this hill that has piled up to the height of four or five stories. Ji Kairui stared intently at the metal mountain, and suddenly noticed some small pieces of iron sliding downward, and he shouted: "There is something hidden in here!" ”

Fanning and Rocky looked at each other, but before they could react, they heard an earth-shattering roar, and there seemed to be some kind of explosion inside the metal mountain, and the steel and iron pieces flew in all directions like cannonballs, and if any piece was hit, it would kill instantly.

Ji Kairui was prepared. In the past, when encountering this situation, Lu Hua quickly used the defensive wall to resist all the flying projectiles. This time Lu Hua was not around, but Ji Kairui could follow Lu Hua's example. He stretched out his left hand and shouted, "Shield! The metal garbage in front of him quickly gathered to form a huge steel shield, which resisted all the flying steel and iron blocks, and kept it airtight. Fanning said admiringly: "Ji Kairui, there is you!" ”

Ji Kairui looked ahead: "Attention, the monster has appeared." ”

I saw a huge giant ape jumping out of the metal hill, as if Sun Wukong was born. This monster ape is extremely strong, more than three meters tall, with a hideous face and infinite strength. Its fur was dark gray, close to the color of the metal trash around it, making it easy to hide and hide - but it didn't seem to need to hide at all, the three humans in front of it were so small in front of it that it seemed as if a single hand could crush them.

The Great Ape let out another menacing roar, then grabbed a piece of steel bar, jumped next to the shield that Ji Kairi had generated, and swung the steel bar at the trio. Based on this move alone, you can judge that its intelligence level is not low, and it knows how to bypass shield attacks. But Ji Kairui quickly manipulated the shield to turn around, and the steel bars hit the shield again, making a deafening metal impact sound, which showed the great strength of the giant ape.

Of course, Ji Kairui couldn't just defend and not attack, he manipulated the shield with his left hand to resist the attack, and pointed at the countless metal wastes around him with his right hand, shouting: "Arrows! "Dozens of steel bars shot at the giant ape like bows and arrows. But the giant ape's skin is rough and thick, and its movements are flexible, and its strong arms swing left and right, blocking all these steel bows and arrows. Ji Kairui's attack was actually painful to it, but it made it furious, and pounced on the three of them with a loud cry.

Seeing that the arrow attack was ineffective, Ji Kairui quickly adjusted his tactics. These pieces of steel and iron may have the effect of concealment and auxiliary attacks for the giant ape, but the opponent probably did not expect that this metal garbage dump is the best combat environment for Ji Kairui so far, allowing Ji Kairui's ability to be brought into full play. He used a trick that he couldn't have done before, and shouted, "Spawn - Greatsword!" ”

Countless metal objects condensed and combined into a giant sword half a meter wide and three meters long. It is impossible for this giant weapon to be wielded by ordinary people, but Ji Kairui's ability "weapon" can control this giant sword in the air, he controls the big shield with his left hand and the giant sword with his right hand. The giant ape jumped up violently and struck down from the air, and Ji Kairui immediately controlled the giant sword to meet it. The giant ape knew something was wrongβ€”no matter how thick it was, it would have no way out of life if it was struck by this giant sword. Unfortunately, it was too late to realize this, the giant ape could not control the body in the air, was stopped by the giant sword, screamed, fell to the ground, and died.

This scene made Rocky look stupid, and Fanning was even more enthusiastic to watch. She is a little boyish herself, and at this moment, she admires Ji Kairui's mighty and handsome spirit even more, patted Ji Kairui on the shoulder, and said, "It's so cool, Ji Kairui!" ”

Although Ji Kairui killed the giant ape, he knew that this move consumed too much physical energy, almost more than half of his strength. If there is more than one giant ape, the situation is not optimistic. Sure enough, Rocky pointed in two other directions and shouted, "The great ape has reappeared, and there are one or two...... Three! ”

March 25, 10:35 a.m.

Although Lei Ao can fly, in order to conserve his strength, he and the other two members of the group, Shu Fei and Mu Xiujie, took a military helicopter to the Lushan Forest Park in the south.

After the helicopter landed near the forest park, Mu Xiujie motioned for the pilot to wait on the periphery, and the three of them entered the forest through the west gate of the park.

Lushan Forest Park is quiet, and it seems to be no different from usual. But they knew that there had been casualties and "a large number of unknown creatures" here. The monsters apparently used the forest as a cover, hiding in it, waiting for them to enter the battle.

At this moment, the three of them had not fully entered the forest. Facing the dense broad-leaved forest in front of her, Shu Fei suddenly had a sense of fear of the unknown, and she vaguely felt that there were very terrifying creatures hidden in this forest, and she was a little timid.

"We ...... Do you have to go in? Shu Fei hesitated, "I mean, we know there's monsters inside. ”

Lei Ao said, "What do you think we're here for? ”

"I know, but ...... I don't know why, but when I saw this forest, I suddenly felt very scary. The monsters inside, we may not be able to deal with. ”

Mu Xiujie said to Shu Fei: "It is precisely because of this that we must enter this 'wooden array'. The purpose of the Big Three's formation is to let us break into the formation. If we don't accept it, I'm afraid the monsters in here won't be able to stay in these areas. If they enter urban areas, the consequences are even more severe. ”

Shu Fei understands this, but she just has an indescribable sense of fear. Mu Xiujie said to her gently: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”

Shu Fei's heart was hot, and she suddenly felt less afraid, and she nodded. The three of them walked along the stone path towards the woods.

Walking into a large field of towering trees, Lei Ao realized a problem, he stopped and said, "Maybe I shouldn't have come to this 'wooden array'. The terrain here is not good for my abilities. He pointed to the branches and leaves above him and said, "These trees are blocking my ascension, and even if I fly into the air, my view will be blocked." ”

Shu Fei took out a fruit knife with a scabbard from his trouser pocket, pulled out the scabbard, held the handle tightly, looked around, and said, "It's too late to say this, I feel that the monster is around, get ready for battle." ”

Lei Ao asked, "Didn't you use a pistol before?" How did you change it to a short knife? ”

"I don't want people in the military to know that we have firearms," Shufei said. ”

Mu Xiujie looked around vigilantly: "You said that monsters are around?" Why didn't I see it? ”

"As soon as I walked into the woods, I felt chills in my back, like I was being stared at by a lot of eyes," Shufei said. I guess the creatures in this forest are not very large, but they are too numerous to be underestimated, so we need to be extra careful. ”

Lei Ao said: "Aren't they just using these branches and leaves as a shield, why don't I use the wind blade to cut down all the trees around here, and they will naturally have nothing to hide!" ”

"These trees are all national second-class protected trees ......"

"How can you care about these now!"

Shu Fei looked at Mu Xiujie and asked for his opinion. Mu Xiujie couldn't pay attention for a while, but at this moment, a flying shadow flashed in front of him, and several creatures flashed out from above the trees, and Mu Xiujie shouted, "The monster has appeared!" ”

The three of them quickly looked up, Lei Ao had the sharpest eyes, and saw one of the monsters crouching on the branches, which looked like a lemur, but its face was much more hateful than that of a lemur, and it pouted and showed sharp teeth. Lei Ao saw it, and it also saw Lei Ao, let out a "Woo Ao" cry, and jumped on the branches of several trees at an alarming speed, and was not in a hurry to attack. Lei Ao was so dazzled that he couldn't discern its location at all, so naturally he couldn't attack, and he shouted, "Attention, the monster is a mutated lemur!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Shu Fei had already activated his superpowers: "Target lock - mutant lemur!" The dagger in his hand flew out with a whizz, weaving through the trees. Although the mutant lemur is flexible, once it is locked by Shu Fei's "tracking", it is impossible to escape. The first lemur was accurately stabbed with a short knife, let out a terrible scream, and fell from the branch. However, the tracking attack did not stop, and it was directed at several other mutant lemurs. The dagger stabbed its target at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, and the mutated lemurs fell one after another with screams. Almost before he could attack, he was killed by Shu Fei in seconds.

However, the 'tracking dagger' can't solve all lemurs at the same time. One of them jumped down from the nearest tree, jumped onto Mu Xiujie's shoulder impartially, opened his mouth and bit Mu Xiujie's neck.

Mu Xiujie has already secretly activated the superpower "metal". The lemur was like biting steel, and screamed in pain. Mu Xiujie reached behind his neck with his left hand and grabbed it, then slammed the lemur's head against his own headβ€”his whole body was metalized. The lemur's head hit the "iron head" hard and immediately passed out.

From the appearance of seven or eight lemurs to the time they were solved, it took about less than half a minute. Lei Ao laughed: "Just now we were like a great enemy, and these guys are so bad. It's not my turn to make a move, you can solve them in a move or two! ”

Shu Fei didn't dare to be careless. The dagger flew back into her hand, and she held the hilt of the knife and said, "Don't underestimate the enemy, you know that my abilities are not omnipotent. It's okay to solve these small monsters, and if you encounter a thick-skinned one, you'll have no way. ”

Lei Ao said disapprehantly: "I don't believe that there is still a dinosaur running in this forest. Besides, your 'tracking' at critical moments can work with my Wind Blade. ”

As he spoke, something fell lightly on Lei Ao's shoulder. He subconsciously turned his head to look, and was so frightened that the whole person jumped up, and it turned out to be a palm-sized, colorful poisonous spider. Lei Ao screamed, and quickly slapped the spider off his shoulder. Shu Fei secretly screamed that it was not good, and looked up with Mu Xiujie and saw a terrifying scene.

Overhead, tens of thousands of poisonous spiders, large and small, floated down like flying flotsam, and the air seemed to cover a huge web composed of poisonous spiders. What's even more bizarre is that they didn't fall vertically, but "flew" down. More precisely, gliding down. They use their extended legs to guide glides and can even change direction in the air. The ultimate goal is to envelop the three of them.

With such a large number of venomous spiders, anyone will feel terrified. If it was Lu Hua who encountered this situation, I am afraid that he would have almost fainted with fright. Shu Fei is also afraid of spiders, seeing that thousands of spiders are about to fall on her, she can't think of a way to deal with it except screaming. Her abilities were almost useless at this point, and no matter what kind of tracking attack she launched, it was impossible to destroy so many poisonous spiders at the same time.

Not only Shu Fei, but even Lei Ao panicked. It was the unfavorable situation he had anticipated. Covered by spiders and trees, he couldn't escape into the air. All he could think of now was to unleash the "air current" and blow the spiders away with a strong wind.

Lei Ao shouted, his hands raised sharply, and an upward jet of wind blew the spiders that were about to fall on them into the air, but this move could only play the role of delaying time, and could not kill the poisonous spiders. Lei Ao was so anxious that he began to send several wind blades into the air, but with little effect, the spiders changed their flight direction to avoid the wind blades, and only a few were slashed by the wind blades.

Just when all three of them were focusing their attention above, something terrifying happened on the ground again. Tens of thousands of poisonous centipedes emerged from the leaves and grass on the ground. When Shu Fei and Mu Xiujie found out, there were already countless poisonous centipedes that had burrowed into their trouser legs and climbed onto their legs. Mu Xiujie hurriedly activated double his superpowers and metalized Shu Fei's body. But his current ability level can only metalize two people at most, and he can't take care of Lei Ao. Mu Xiujie shouted: "Lei Ao, fly quickly!" There are centipedes on the ground! ”

In fact, he didn't need to remind him, Lei Ao already felt something strange on his legs. He flew half a meter into the air, and then used his superpowers to create a small area of turbulence around his body. The poisonous spiders that fell from the sky and the poisonous centipedes on the ground were blown away by the turbulence and could not get close to him, and they were temporarily in a safe state.

The poisons couldn't get close to Lei Ao, so they all concentrated on Mu Xiujie and Shu Fei. This scene is really terrifying. In just a few seconds, the top of Shu Fei and Mu Xiujie's heads, shoulders, and bodies were densely covered with layers of poisonous spiders; The part below their waist is crawling with countless poisonous centipedes. And the poisons are still pouring at them from both the upper and lower directions. Shu Fei and Mu Xiujie closed their eyes tightly and covered their ears and nose and mouth, otherwise the poison would penetrate into their bodies from the Seven Orifices.

At this moment, the fear in Shu Fei and Mu Xiujie's hearts, Lei Ao couldn't fathom it. But he, who has always been very arrogant, can't help but tremble all over his body at this moment, because he can't see the two of them anymore. A dense mass of poison covered them completely. Fortunately, under the protection of Mu Xiujie's ability, both of them had been metallized, and the poison could not hurt them for the time being. But this situation cannot last, and there will always be a moment when their physical strength is exhausted. As soon as the superpower state is removed, the three of them will be bitten by thousands of poisons at the same time and poisoned to death.
