Chapter Fifty-Three: Attack in the Wild
Military Humvees drive on rough country roads. The sun had completely set down in the mountains, and instead of the fiery sunset, there was a sparkling starry sky.
The atmosphere in the car was very heavy, and the guard Xiao Wang drove silently on the opposite side of the soundproof glass, but his eyes kept glancing at Hu Kunming in the rearview mirror. Uncle Hu lit a cigarette and snorted fiercely, the red spark looked extremely strange in the dim carriage.
"Xiao Mu," Uncle Hu couldn't bear the silence, and first spoke, "What will become if it is really completely eroded by demonic energy." β
I knew that he was worried about the wounded soldiers, and he didn't answer directly, but secretly comforted:
"Uncle Hu, don't worry, the demonic qi doesn't invade the human body so quickly."
Uncle Hu still couldn't let go of his heart, shook his head, and said a little impatiently:
"Don't comfort me yet, just tell me what kind of monster that person will become if he is really corrupted by demonic energy."
I sighed and replied heavily:
"If it is really eroded by the demon qi, it is equivalent to losing the soul, being directly controlled by the monster, knowing that it will become a lifeless corpse."
The silence in the carriage returned, Hu Kunming took a puff of his cigarette, and the red light instantly moved back by half.
There were fewer and fewer passing cars on the road, and when you turned onto an overgrown path, only this military Humvee remained. The wheels crushed against knee-high weeds with a creepy rustle.
"This is the path opened by our military, and from here, it goes straight down to our military base in the provincial capital."
Hu Kunming explained.
I nodded, but my gaze was ghostly at the endless darkness outside the carriage. There seemed to be something unusual in the darkness.
"Xiao Mu, what's wrong?"
Hu Kunming saw me staring out the window in a daze, and asked a little vigilantly.
"It's fine."
I came to my senses and shook my head. But in the deep colors outside the carriage, there was a feeling that made me uneasy.
The car continued to drive, and gradually, the street lamps on the road gradually faded in the sound of the wheels crushing against the dust, and in the whole night, it seemed that only the two headlights in front of the Humvee were left, and in the ink, a small light was opened.
"Chief, something seems to be approaching us on the radar!"
Xiao Wang turned on the walkie-talkie to communicate with the rear compartment, and reported a little alertly.
Hu Kunming's expression did not change, but he wrinkled his brows slightly, and then said calmly:
"Don't panic, ask the headquarters if it's the car sent over there to pick it up."
Xiao Wang nodded, holding the steering wheel with his left hand, but his right hand flicked a few times on the radio:
"Red One Call Headquarters, Red One Call Headquarters."
There was a rustling sound over the intercom, and the other side answered indistinctly:
"Please speak if you receive it."
"I saw an unknown object approaching my car on my radar here, was it sent from headquarters?"
Xiao Wang stared at the radar screen and reported.
On the golden-green radar screen, there is a flashing red dot, which is slowly approaching the center of the radar.
"Red One, there is no mission sent by our side!"
"Roger."
Xiao Wang looked back at Hu Kunming with some confusion and asked:
"Chief, what should I do?"
Hu Kunming made a reassuring gesture and grabbed the walkie-talkie equipped in the rear compartment:
"Headquarters headquarters, I'm Red Eagle, can you see what it is?"
Listening to the conversation between Hu Kunming and the other end, this first should be a secret post on the periphery of the military base.
"Red Eagle, this is the first one in the field, we can't see clearly."
"Chief! That thing accelerated! β
Before Hu Kunming could answer, Xiao Wang in the front compartment shouted loudly. Looking at the radar again, the bright red dots were rapidly approaching us.
"Headquarters, can you see where we are? Send a company of guards! β
Hu Kunming didn't hesitate and shouted at the walkie-talkie. With that, he stood up and pulled out a Type 95 assault rifle from the trunk.
"Xiao Wang, speed up!" He commanded in a deep voice, then turned his head to me and said, "Shi'an, protect yourself. β
I nodded, and a glowing spell appeared in my hand.
The guard pressed the accelerator, the rear wheel swept through the dirt, and the whole car rushed out like a bow and arrow.
Although Hu Kunming's face was calm as usual, his lips were pursed and trembling slightly, and through the dim light in front of the car, the beads of sweat on his sideburns were particularly eye-catching.
"Chief, that thing is still approaching!"
Xiao Wang trembled in front of him and reported that even those who had been on the battlefield would inevitably remain calm when they encountered such a strange situation.
"Steady the vehicle!"
Hu Kunming ordered in a deep voice. The gun in his hand couldn't help but be raised to his chest.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! β
After more than ten seconds, in the deep black, a strange figure suddenly appeared, and what was even more terrifying was that the monster was carrying a huge car in his hands.
"Xiao Wang! Hasten! β
Hu Kunming shouted, and at the same time pulled the trigger in his hand without hesitation. The piercing barrel of the spear flickered out in the darkness with a dazzling firelight. The bullet struck the figure, but it only made a sound of gold and iron intersecting.
"What kind of demon is this?!"
Hu Kunming was also a little flustered, he had already finished shooting a magazine, but the figure did not slow down at all.
"If you're not mistaken, this should be the youkai that attacked you!"
I replied in a deep voice. I thought that the object that could be scanned by the radar should not be a youkai, but I didn't expect this monster to carry a car made of steel. But if it hadn't been for the radar scanning, we might have been in danger today.
"Break the curse!"
At the stall where Hu Kunming was shooting, I threw a demon-breaking spell that had been prepared long ago at the figure of the monster. The spell lit up in the air, and it slammed into the approaching youkai.
"Roarβ"
The golden light spell exploded on the monster's body, but it created a huge web of aura like a spider's web in the night sky, enveloping the monster all over. The monster roared in pain, but under the light of the spell fluorescence, it showed its prototype.
Disgusting and nauseous, this is my first impression of this youkai. Even the ghoul who didn't even let the corpse go doesn't make me retch. But the one in front of him, there seemed to be no words in the world to describe its swarthy body full of barbs and tentacles.
I didn't expect this spell to hurt it anything. The monster only took two steps back, shook his body, and the demonic aura around him was so strong that the car in his hand threw it at the front cover of our Humvee.
Xiao Wang slammed the reverse disk, and the whole body drifted, but there was a tendency to spin in place.
I shouted in my heart that if these multi-ton cars were to be smashed on our cars, even if they were modified with military armor, they would not be able to gain any good.
His hands drew a cross in front of his chest, his palms turned round, and a defensive spell suddenly appeared. With a low cry in his throat, he threw the spell in the direction of the car with his palm.
"Spirit Shield Spell!"
The six-pointed star-like spell swirled and fluttered out, instantly expanding in mid-air, protecting the Hummer behind him.
"Xiao Wang! Calm down! β
Hu Kunming came back to his senses and saw that I had temporarily blocked the monster's attack, and ordered loudly.
After all, the guards are elite soldiers in the army, and their psychological quality is beyond that of ordinary soldiers, so they quickly calmed down, and their arms were forced, and they finally stabilized the body of the car that was drifting.
The car that was thrown by the monster smashed on the spirit shield spell, causing a ripple on the surface of the spell, and the entire body made of fine iron was shattered in an instant as if it had suffered a tragic car accident.
Regardless of the fact that the car was driving at high speed, I pulled the car door and cast a light body spell on my body, and the whole person rushed out of the car, and before I could stand firmly, the Xuanyuan Holy Dao Sword more than one meter long was instantly formed in my hand. In the face of monsters who don't know the details, I don't dare to have any reservations.
"Ten An!"
Hu Kunming in the car shouted.
My free palm made a reassuring gesture behind me, but my eyes were firmly locked on the monster in front of me.
The monster felt extremely sensitive, and when it saw the Holy Dao Sword in my hand take shape, it was not like other brainless monsters, but it just clashed with my demon-slaying weapon with a hard head, but retreated a few steps slightly, keeping a certain safe distance from me.
"Demons!"
Since you don't move, then I'll move!
Seeing that the monster was a little jealous of the Holy Dao Sword in my hand, I naturally wouldn't leave it a chance, and my toes were a little empty, and my body was bullying the monster.
The monster no longer retreated, and the barbs covering its entire body suddenly stood up, and countless jet-black points of light surged out from the tips of the barbs that shimmered with cold light.
"Damn it!"
I thought that this point of light was not much different from the demonic energy of ordinary monsters, but I didn't expect that as soon as my arm was contaminated by the black spot, there was a pain in the bone marrow from the place of contact, and the muscles spasmed violently, and the long sword in the palm of my hand almost didn't grasp it steadily. I quickly withdrew the long sword that was originally heading straight at the monster's forehead, and slashed away all the black points of light that poured into my body.
"What kind of monster is this?"
The attack that was supposed to hit was blocked by this monster, and my heart felt weak for a while. The strange skills of this monster are something I have never heard of before, and even in the book of hundred demons handed down by Master, I have never seen the appearance of this monster.
The monster saw that I was forced to retreat by its barbs, but it was no longer afraid of the Holy Dao Sword, but the tentacles that were originally the length of the forearm skyrocketed to more than five meters long, and dozens of tentacles mixed with a fishy smell suddenly approached.
In desperation, I only had time to pull out a few spells from my back waist, and before I could trigger them in the air, I was shot down by the tentacles that were about to be pitch black. This monster seems to know all about the attacks of warlocks.
"Ten An! Move! β
Just as I was worrying about how to escape from this monster, Hu Kunming's deep roar came from behind me.
I subconsciously bent down, hundreds of bullets whistling with strong winds above my head. Lying on the ground, looking back, there were dozens of gunmen wearing olive green camouflage uniforms, and the guns in their hands kept emitting dark blue flames, and for a moment they didn't dare to approach the monster.
When the monster saw these soldiers with guns, there was a little horror in his eyes, and the barbs all retracted to his side, roared unwillingly, and turned around and ran towards the endless darkness.
