Chapter 44: The Quest Begins
"That's it. That bullet is almost useless, so try it if you want to. Xu Jianqiang pointed to a metal target outside the window and said, "Just hit there, it's not lethal anyway, it's a very chicken thing, and I don't know who invented it." ”
Yuan Li didn't think much of what he said in his heart, if the name of this special bullet was not taken blindly, then this bullet was definitely an artifact to deal with big reptiles!
Yuan Li took out his energy pistol, installed a special battery and muzzle, and shot the gun at the target outside the window, and a blue ball of light instantly emitted from the muzzle.
However, before the ball of light could reach the target, it suddenly opened up and turned into a circular shield with a diameter of about half a meter.
Yuan Li took out the revolver he had just taken out with some confusion and shot at the shield, and after a muffled sound, the bullet was stuck in the shield. After about half a minute, the shield disappeared and the bullet fell to the ground.
The energy shield made of this shield bullet is absolutely sufficient in terms of defensive capabilities, and it is not easy to be able to jam the revolver and shoot at close range.
But visually, this shield can only be blocked five meters in front of the firing point, and the diameter of the shield is only half a meter, which is only the size of an ordinary round shield.
No wonder Xu Jianqiang would say that this bullet is a kind of chicken ribs, and ordinary people would not dare to connect close to the big reptile, let alone use these two pistols to fight the big reptile at close range.
"The effect of this bullet is quite special, most weapons can't be penetrated, and the damage it can withstand in a short period of time is very high, we have people try it, and after the shield is unfolded, it can't be moved by hand, so it can only wait for it to disappear by itself."
Yuan Li nodded, "It's really a bit ...... chicken."
"Right! I'll just say it! I don't know which boring scientist invented it, it's useless at all! Xu Jianqiang couldn't help but scold.
"But that's for you." Yuan Li said with a smile, "I think this thing is very useful, maybe it will become the key to this operation." ”
Xu Jianqiang glanced at Yuan Li, "Then you can use it, don't say that I didn't remind you when the time comes, don't come to me when you die." ”
Yuan Li put away the bullet with a smile, "Everyone is almost ready, let's go to that little lair and have a look." ”
Erin glanced at Yuan Li, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Yuan Li, are you really going to deal with those big reptiles?" ”
Yuan Li shrugged his shoulders, "Just take a look, and there won't be a piece of meat, it's good to try the depth of these big reptiles." ”
"Okay, okay, then let it be." Erin shook her head and said, "I thought you were fooling him." ”
Yuan Li couldn't help laughing, "I really am, but if we want to move smoothly underground, it's best to try the strength of these native species, this nest, if you can clear it, you can't force it, anyway, we got the pass smoothly." ”
"If you say that, I don't have any problem at all." Erin said with a smile.
"Let's go." Boiling shouldered his backpack and weapons and silently stood behind Yuan Li.
The group continued to move along the passage, and soon arrived at the mining area, and the original stone of the energy crystal ore would also have a faint light, and there was no need to install lighting equipment in the mining area, and the light of the crystal ore was as bright as day.
The absentees were arranged to mine the raw ore in various mine tunnels, and then there were special mine trucks to transport the raw ore to the refining place to refine it into spars, and the whole assembly line was built cleanly, simply and in an orderly manner.
Soon, a group of four people walked to the edge of the mining area, and Yuan Li also saw the energy shield covered at the edge more intuitively, and the emitter of the shield could be seen every fifty meters, and the output power was definitely not small.
But in order to block the invasion of large crawlers, these expenses are necessary.
"The little nest that was dug up a few days ago is right ahead." Xu Jianqiang pointed to a bulging shield in front of him.
Yuan Li nodded and followed, but Erin almost tripped over a small stone because of nervousness.
Yuan Li took it easily, "Don't be nervous, if you can't run." ”
Erin nodded, "Aren't you nervous at all?" ”
Yuan Li shrugged his shoulders, "I may not be able to beat it, but I am still confident that I can run away." And...... I'm more curious about another thing. ”
"What?"
Yuan Li suddenly laughed, "You said this thing...... Can you eat it? ”
Erin was momentarily confused, "You say...... Eat??? ”
Yuan Li glanced at her and ignored her no more.
Boiling stepped forward and patted Erin, "Just get used to it." ”
Xu Jianqiang walked to the front alone and turned off the nearest shield launcher.
Soon, the bulging shield was gone, and there was another layer of shield underneath the shield, the double shield here was obviously designed to facilitate the annihilation of the lair in the future, and obviously they didn't want to see this small lair continue to grow.
"Alright, let's go inside." Xu Jianqiang took the lead and walked in, and Yuan Li and the three of them also nodded and followed.
After all four people entered, Xu Jianqiang operated the shield transmitter in the mezzanine again, and soon the hole behind them was filled with shields, while the shields in front of them slowly disappeared.
When the shield spread, the road ahead instantly became dark, and only the faint blue light emitted by the shield behind him illuminated the road ahead.
"Be careful from here." Xu Jianqiang reminded, "The little nest we dug is not far ahead. ”
With that, he turned on the lighting on his absenteeism uniform, and the road ahead became bright again.
Yuan Li and the others also turned on their respective lighting equipment, and continued to walk forward with Xu Jianqiang.
The tunnel was clearly not dug by humans, and there was still some undried biological slime on the walls, undoubtedly left behind by the big reptiles.
Yuan Li stretched out his hand and dipped some of the slime on the wall and looked at it, the mucus was very slippery to the touch, but after drying, it had extremely strong viscosity and hardness, and it could be completely turned into a tunnel wall to support the hollowed-out part to prevent the tunnel from collapsing, and it was reasonable that the attack with this kind of protective liquid bullet would be difficult to play a role.
Yuan Li took out a lighter and a small arc igniter and tried it, this slime has a good blocking effect on flames and electric currents, and it is difficult to cause powerful damage to this big reptile with the methods in human cognition.
It's more troublesome than he imagined, Yuan Li secretly thought in his heart.
The group walked along the dark passage for about five hundred meters, and the width of the passage suddenly increased, as if the big reptile had deliberately increased the space of the passage.
"Be careful." Xu Jianqiang suddenly lowered his body and whispered, "We have arrived." ”
Several people followed Xu Jianqiang and continued to move forward, and when they turned a corner in front of them, Yuan Li was suddenly shocked by the picture in front of him......
At this moment, there is a female reptile laying eggs in the nest!
