The Yunluo Border of the First Phase of the Star Gate Chapter 17 The Scorpion Swarm

On the sand-yellow knotted tail ring, the sharp spikes of the length of his palm rapidly increased in his field of vision, and Luthor subconsciously leaned back, flipped off the back of the sand slope, and fell into the sand pit. Ignoring a mouthful of dry sand, he yelled at Xiaoxiao, "Hurry up, there's a scorpion in the sand!" ”

As his words fell, Xiao Xiao didn't have time to put away the uneaten compressed dry food, and hurriedly picked up the recurve bow and jumped.

Poof

The sand and gravel in the sand dunes where the scorpion tail was hidden, and the earth-gray scorpions the size of a basketball emerged from the sand dunes, hanging long scorpion tail needles and moving rapidly towards the small ones.

Cao Yunhua carried Li Changan around the sand dunes and came behind Luther, and Xiao Xiao couldn't help but burst into foul mouth when he saw the sand scorpion surging in the sand dunes.

"I'll go, what the hell is this, what a scorpion is so big!"

Luthor stared at the little scorpion that rushed towards him, ignored Lieutenant Cao, unloaded his rifle from his back, thought about it and put it back.

This was not the first time he had seen a strange species, the Ghostback Tarantula he saw in the Doomsday Game was much larger than the sand scorpion in front of him, and the Ghostback Tarantula was more athletic than the scorpion in front of him.

The basketball-sized scorpion is not slow, and there are many feet rushing under it, and the delicate quicksand does not hinder it at all. On the other hand, because of a momentary panic, the entire surface of his feet sank into the sand, and his movement speed was greatly reduced.

Luthor gripped the heart of the sword with his backhand, looked at the nearest scorpion, and stabbed it hard.

laugh at

The yellow armor couldn't withstand the sharp moire blade, and pierced the scorpion, the blade sank into the sand and stone, the scorpion tail kept swaying, and the sound of gold and stone sounded when the spike touched the blade.

Only Luthor in the team has a long-handled weapon, Xiao Xiao and Cao Yunhua are both equipped with umbrella knives, although the umbrella knife of nearly thirty-five centimeters can inflict a fatal blow on the sand scorpion, but the short attack distance is just within the attack range of the tail needle, the purple and cyan tail needle flashes in the scorching sun, and the three of them do not dare to take risks.

Luthor motioned for the two to run first, with himself on guard behind him.

Lieutenant Cao lifted Chang'an to his shoulder, took a step and ran into the distance, pulled out a carbon steel arrow, and put it on the bowstring to aim at the approaching sand scorpion, Luthor saw her movements, shook his head

"There is no need to waste arrows, scorpions are not social animals, there are often only a few in a nest, repel the first few, and the latter will automatically give up."

Xiao Xiao shook his head when he heard this, secretly regretting why he didn't bring a long knife in the first place, but his body didn't move, which made Luthor shake his head for a while.

After all, his prestige as a captain is not high, and everyone may listen to him when he jokes, but in the depths of danger, several people expressed their opinions and did not obey his orders. The tacit understanding needs to be improved.

Maybe it takes a while to get the ban done.

Determined not to persuade the little girl anymore, Luthor fended off the approaching sand scorpion while observing his surroundings.

The sand dunes where they were resting just now have been filled with sand scorpions, and there are no less than dozens of them, and in the sandbags that have surged around, the sand is churning, and the earthy yellow scorpion body has come out to join the army that has defeated Luther.

The sand scorpion moves at the same speed as Luther walking, and if the three of them had just landed, they might have already thrown the scorpion away.

But at this moment, the three of them have experienced a long journey, they have not entered for a long time, there is still one wounded in the team, the speed of progress is slow, and the distance between them and the scorpion group is gradually narrowing.

Lieutenant Cao walked briskly in front of the two of them, carrying Li Changan on his back, wheezing, this short distance consumed too much of his physical strength, and there seemed to be a flame burning at the root of his lungs, and the gas he spit out was like steam.

The sea of sand in front of you seems to be endless

Not far away, the sand dunes began to churn, and tail pins rose from the sunken sand

Cao Yunhua's eyes were full of anxiety and shouted

"Luther Luther, there's a scorpion ahead too!"

Captain Lu raised his knife and cut off the scorpion tail needle and foot segment that sneaked up on the little calf, and then heard an exclamation from Lieutenant Cao.

Unconsciously a few steps faster, he trotted to the vicinity of Cao Yunhua and looked around.

The sand scorpions gushing out of the yellow sand sea form an earthy yellow torrent, raising the cyan scorpion tail needles, like a needle forest in the sun.

Xiao pinched the arrow feathers, the sweat on the palm of his hand wet the feather blade, the pink tongue licked the chapped lips lightly, without a trace of wetness, swallowed a mouthful of air, and trembled

"Luther, what to do?"

Luther's heart was beating faster at the moment, and his expression became unnatural, he glanced at Xiaoxiao, and missed the arrow rain at night in the town, the six-wheel compound bow in Xiaoxiao's hand was strong enough, but without the amazing archery skills, in the face of such a scorpion swarm, what could the three of them do?

Asked with his brain spinning

"What are scorpions afraid of?"

Xiao Xiao was stunned when he heard the words, what are the scorpions afraid of? Scorpions are afraid of snakes, natural enemies, and pesticides! I don't have any of these three!

"Scorpions are afraid of water!"

Lieutenant Cao's voice came from the side!

"Scorpions are afraid of water?"

"Everyone thinks that scorpions grow near water, so they are not afraid of water, but in fact, scorpions can drown underwater!"

Luther glanced at the slowly gathering scorpion swarm, heard Cao Yunhua's words, and smiled bitterly

"Even if you know it's afraid of water, it's useless! Right now...! ”

Yes, in order to find water resources and find the exit of the sand sea, the three of them have been walking for a day, and at this moment they are besieged by sand scorpions, where is there water to create a flood!

Lieutenant Cao had no choice but to pout, ready to put Li Changan down and do a big job, and he couldn't afford this group of scorpions if he didn't have a good life.

Luthor put away his sword and picked up his rifle, at this time he could no longer care about saving bullets against the enemy in the future, and he could not escape the siege of the scorpion swarm, and he could not even see the face of the enemy.

Xiaoxiao, as a former urban woman, where has she ever seen such a scene, she can be considered a good performance to be calm on the surface, and when she saw the two people next to her planning to fight to the end with the scorpions, she felt a pang in her heart, put away her bow, picked up her rifle, and cheered herself up, of course, the arm of the gun was shaking.

Da-da-da-da

Bullets rained

Poof

Snort

The warhead burrowed through the sand scorpion armor into the sand, making a muffled grinding sound.

Luthor had no more than four magazines on his back, 30 rounds of ammunition each, and the three of them, plus Li Changan, who had fainted, were only 400 rounds of ammunition.

Four hundred rounds of ammunition, even if one hundred rounds are hit, it is not enough to see in the face of the scorpion swarm that is pouring in.

burst

burst

The firing pin hit the center of the bullet, and the cartridge case ejected in the moment of reloading, and the copper shell made an arc in the air and fell on the sand dune.

In less than a moment, everyone had already shot several magazines, but the insect tide in front of them was gathering more and more.

Lieutenant Cao saw the yellow, orange and orange bullet casings all over the ground with a painful face, and the bullets hit the scorpion, he had never thought of such a waste before! Now there is only one magazine left in his hand, and even if he misses, the three of them will not be able to escape.

Seeing that the bullets were about to run out, Luthor drew his sword heart and began to slash the sand scorpion.

Xiaoxiao's eyes dimmed, and he took out the communicator and shook it vigorously, looking forward to the sudden rescue!

"Luther, Cao Yunhua, you said we wouldn't confess here, right?"

"Wouldn't it hurt to be pricked by a scorpion?"

Luthor remembered how he felt when he was knocked off the tower by the spider queen, and if he had been poked by such a long tail pin! The corners of his mouth twitched at the thought

"Nonsense, how do you grow this brain melon, such a long needle, poof, just stick into it! Can it not hurt! ”

The girl clenched her teeth when she heard this, and said in a trembling voice, "I don't want to be pierced!" ”

Looking at Cao Yunhua, his bright eyes were already foggy

"Lao Cao, can you leave a bullet to kill me in the end, I don't want to be poked to death by a scorpion!"

Lieutenant Cao smiled bitterly in his heart, big brother and sister, this is not a game, you can't quit when you die, but if you die, it's really over, and you're dead in another world!

The corners of his mouth said, "Why don't you let the captain help you!" ”

Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "Because of the two of you, you hate it the most, and he hates it second, so I don't feel bad when you beat me to death!" ”

Seeing Cao Yunhua choked slightly, Lu Thor laughed dryly, the movements in his hands did not decrease a bit, the knife rose and fell, and the moire was covered with purple-black bloodstains!

Lieutenant Cao was almost out of breath at the words of the little one, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand trembled, and if there were two more whiskers on his mouth, he would definitely be able to see the shaking non-stop.

said angrily, "I still have a magazine, all for you, one shot can't kill, and thirty more shots!" ”

"Cut, what man!"

Xiaoxiao laughed to tears at his words, but for a while she no longer wanted to quit after death.

This made Lieutenant Cao's heart hanging in the depths a little lighter. Switching to the last magazine, he was reluctant to shoot again after firing two shots, closed the safety and put his back behind him, drew his umbrella knife, and began to hunt the scorpion in close quarters.

The three of them emptied to the last magazine, and they all collected their guns, and the sand scorpion was in short contact, the arrow in the little hand only shot the scorpion in the first ten meters of the body, Luthor tried to resist in the periphery of the two, Rao is all his strength, and finally the sand scorpion approached, the tail needle was raised and poked at Lieutenant Cao's calf, Cao Yunhua's eyes were fast, and he raised his foot at the moment of the tail needle, and the bottom of the boot with the composite steel plate was in contact with the tail needle, making a piercing sound.

Downward force, stepping on the middle tail segment, a knife into the body of the sand scorpion.

burst

The tip of the knife pierced into the scorpion's back, and a stream of purple-black blood splattered, and the fishy smell came to the nostrils.

Lieutenant Cao held his breath and began to deal with the next one.

Luthor heard the cacophony of the tail needle making contact with the steel plate, and just turned around to see Cao Yunhua poking the scorpion body, and a bright light flashed in his head, but he didn't catch it.

It just so happened that the little arrow shot in the air, pulled out the umbrella knife, and the communication device on his body sounded

"Cao Yunhua protect me!"

Lieutenant Cao, who was tired of coping, couldn't separate himself at the moment, and Luthor heard the sound of the communicator, so he retracted his position, closed the distance, and defended himself beside Xiaoxiao.

Turn on the communicator

Zizizizi

"There is ......"

"Look... Coordinate! ”

A faint voice came out, and he was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "It's Lao Fan!" Is it Lao Fan? ”

"Old Fan, old Fan, where are you?"

The other end of the communicator was turned off, and there was only a sizzling noise.

"Look at the coordinates!"

Xiao Xiao hurriedly put away the communicator and opened the map, the electronic map was empty, only the coordinates buried when a few people landed. The excitement that had just surged was suddenly gone, and Luthor was relieved to see that the girl's eyes quickly dimmed, and secretly said that since Lao Fan can connect to communication, the coordinates must have been buried, and he was relieved

"Don't worry, wait a minute! Maybe the signal will be slow! ”

Zizi

Zizi

【Ding】

[The current region is connected successfully]

A faint green triangle suddenly appeared on the electronic map, about 27 kilometers to the west of the crowd.

"There is water, there is salvation!"

Lieutenant Cao saw that the distance from the three of them was twenty-seven kilometers, and secretly complained, the water was there, but it was far away from the three of them, if there were no scorpion swarms, and there was no wounded person in Chang'an, everyone could reach it on foot for four hours, but at present....

Xiaoxiao was so startled by the sudden water source coordinates that she jumped up excitedly, but when she thought about the difficult situation, she suddenly hung her head again.

Captain Lu looked up in the direction of the water source, and could only see the endless sea of sand and scorpions all over the ground, and suddenly remembered that the steel plate on Lieutenant Cao's boots just now could resist the tail pin, and he had an idea.

He took out the steel plate in the sandwich of the body armor, inserted it into the side of the boot, and tore off the sticky strip from the body armor, tied the entire calf, and entered the scorpion swarm.

The sand scorpion at his feet raised its tail needle and poked Luther in the calf.

bite

bite

The gold and stone exchanged blows without realizing the aftermath.

"Tie it like this! Stick the steel plate of the body armor sandwich to the leg! ”

Du Xiaoxiao and Cao Yunhua saw Luthor enter the scorpion group, the tail needle could not hurt him in the slightest, his eyes lit up at the same time, and he learned from Luthor to wrap his calf with a steel plate.

After the three of them finished tidying up, Xiao Xiao became excited

"Captain, we..."

"Although there is a steel plate wrap, you still have to be careful of the tail pin, I have another way!"

Lieutenant Cao secretly praised Luthor at this moment, thinking that the other party actually had a way, and he could lead himself out of danger in such a desperate situation, and he should be impressed in the future.

"What's the solution?"

Luthor took Li Chang'an from behind Lieutenant Cao and tied him tightly with his armed belt.

Give a thumbs up to the little one

The corners of his mouth are raised

"The scorpion climbs slowly, and now we don't have to worry about the tail needle!"

"So, everyone!"

"Run!"

Say, take the lead in rushing into the scorpion swarm!
