Chapter Eighty-Five: The Central Avenue of Bauda City

George asked in the team chat, "Duck, how is it now?"

Duck replied, "It sucks, you should really come down and try what it's like to walk through a pile of teeth and tongue." ”

"Teeth and tongue?"

"Yes, a group of alien slimes, have you ever seen the trap that caught the wild boar? The slime version, black, hidden in black oil, can be bitten by accident. ”

"The GPs are not responding, I can't see them. ”

"Of course, they're slimes, the volatility is weak, and you can't see it on it. ”

"Trouble?"

"It's not a hassle, but it's quite annoying. These mouths that grow out of the ground can't move, but they can spew poison gas and force you into an ambush circle. ”

George was slightly surprised: "It sounds like there is a unified command, which is too unusual. ”

"The slimes here are special, Altaïr said that underneath the layer of black oil is a huge slime spread out flat, and these dangerous mouths are rotten sores growing on its body, phew!"

Altaïr's lazy voice came from the team's comms: "These things aren't human, and they won't feel disgusting if you spit on them." Let's save some effort to walk. ”

Riley said indignantly in the team's newsletter, "The exit is just ahead, a big straight, we have to go around like this, how long will it go?"

"Don't worry, beauty, the road in front is a straight road, but don't you see that the teeth on both sides are so dense? That road is deliberately set aside, just in the area where the poisonous gas crosses on both sides, and when you are halfway through, the poisonous gas is everywhere, and you can't retreat if you want to. ”

"Our ghost fire mask is anti-poison, what are you afraid of?"

"Is that thing puncture-proof?"

"What?"

"These little things are going to spit out their teeth and prick people, just tie your hazmat suit into a little hole, hehe. ”

"Summoning an illusion past to attract attack. Wait for them to spray their teeth and vomit before they pass. ”

"Illusions are shadows, and if they don't fluctuate, they won't attack stupidly. ”

"Where's the slime powder?"

"As soon as they hide in the black oil, the powder is blocked by the black oil, who knows how much it can do. ”

Duck clapped: "Don't talk nonsense, you can't be impetuous, and brute force is a dead end." Walk honestly. ”

Since being taught to be a man by the giant antlion, Duck no longer dares to move blindly.

With technical brutality, not only can the task be completed, but also the small life may not be saved!

Experience is more important than technology.

Because of the existence of the alien slime, there are no other aliens in this layer. Dodging the onslaught of poison gas and fangs, the four of them emerged from a door that had been squeezed and deformed.

In front of him was an extremely wide, but sloping downward.

If there were blue skies and white clouds overhead, it would be refreshing to walk on such a street, but now there are dark and hard rock walls overhead. Several black pillars propped up the rock dome, and if you looked closely, there were what pillars were, and it was clearly the alien slime tentacles that I had just seen on it.

Riley exclaimed, "It's so long, it pierced the stratum and grows out?Does the slime have this ability? Self-weight won't crush itself?"

Altaïr said, "I don't know. Maybe these slimes have been modified by Faruger, or maybe they are artificial lifeforms created by Farug out of slimes? Anyway, it's the same old saying: don't touch them, you'll be fine. ”

Duck asked, "Where are we now, how do we get to the library?"

George said, "The location you are in now is the central avenue of Bauda City, and it has been completely folded after it has settled. About 800 meters further on, there is a fault, from where the rope descends into a cave that leads to the depths of the formation, and through the cave you will reach the library. Be careful, this period of xenomorph activity is very frequent. Walk the 800 meters first. Beware of the collapsed houses on both sides, there are faint mana fluctuations in them, and there are a lot of them, but I don't know what they are. It is advisable to be prepared for a range attack. ”

"Understood. ”

There was a slight murmuring sound around them.

Duck suddenly became alert: "The sound of rain?"

Ralbin picked up the magic gun: "Don't be funny, how is it possible underground?" Altaïr, what's it?"

"Construct ants, guys, quick, paint it on your body!"

Following Altaïr's example, the three Darks applied a slimy black ointment.

Then they watched as a black wave rushed in.

Countless fist-sized, four-legged metal structures lunged at them like crazy, four short metal limbs striking on the stone pavement with a stormy click.

"Don't panic, walk slowly, don't make big moves, they won't attack us. ”

Riley's voice trembled a little, "How do you know?"

"I'm still familiar with this place. They love the smell and will treat us like one kind, so don't attack them and it's fine. ”

"Pounced!"

Altaïr almost gritted his teeth: "Listen—words—"

The Constructed Ants approached quickly, and Riley saw clearly, it was a bit of a stretch to call these little things "ants", they were black, fist-sized balls on their short, sharp legs as thick as four fingers.

"It doesn't look that good—"

She didn't finish the word "afraid", and the dozen or so small round balls that stopped in front of her suddenly opened their bloody mouths at the same time, and roared in unison: "Die!"

The sharp metal fangs were thin and dense, emitting a terrifying blue sheen in the light of the stone lamp.

Altaïr covered Riley's mouth and pressed her screams back to her throat.

Then, a dozen small balls jumped up, swept past the four, and pounced behind the four.

Countless metal limbs slashed at the stone pavement like crazy, instantly clearing a big hole in the pavement, and then the black tide poured into it. Leave the four alone there.

There was a fierce battle in the cave, as if something was tumbling and twisting violently, and the ground could feel a slight vibration.

Within a few minutes, with a cheerful "dead ha" sound, groups of little black balls crawled out majestically, each holding a piece of minced meat.

As the army of minced meat passed by the four of them, a small black ball looked at the four stupid people who couldn't even walk with disdain, screamed twice, threw the minced meat beside them, and turned back to the pit to look for it.

Riley was devastated by the words: "I ...... Actually...... Despised by a construct......"

Duck reassured, "It's nothing, they're definitely more efficient at hunting than we are—Altaïr, what's going on with these constructs?"

"One of Farug's guards, they only have two creeds, one is to protect Farug himself, and the other is to protect the Construct Matrix. They forage like ants. ”

Ralbin was incredulous: "They're iron guys, but they eat meat?"

"It's better to think of it as a meat guy with iron teeth, iron legs, and iron armor," Altaïr said, crouching down on the side of the minced meat, looking through it, "This is the meat of a giant earthworm, it seems that it has been with us for a long time, and it has saved a lot of effort to be killed by the Constructed Ants—the Constructed Ants come out to hunt, and take the prey back to feed the mother." ”

"Sounds scary. ”

"That mother has no intelligence, just a simple breeding tool. If there is enough prey, it will reproduce, and if there is scarce, it will give birth to less. However, this is the first time I have seen so many construction ants. There's definitely something quirky down there. ”

Duck asked, "The potency of that ointment of yours—"

"No problem, this thing can last for days at a time, but the worry is that it won't wash well. ”

"It's nothing. This ointment was given by the Assasin higher-ups?"

"Well, the preacher in charge of the teaching gave it. ”

"Does that mean they have a connection with Farouge, or rather, a long time ago?"

"Of course, this medicine was given to the preacher by Farrouge, and the recipe has been passed down within us in Assasin for hundreds of years, until now. ”

Duck frowned.

Farrug was not afraid of Assasin, and even acquiesced in and supported their activities, otherwise he would not have given them drugs that would restrain his own defenses.

What's the good of that? Win hearts and minds? Does he think he can play Assasin in the palm of his hand?

No, since this guard is completely unguarded against Assasin, there must be another kind or several deadly guards waiting for them.

This Faruger really can't be underestimated.

So, after Faruger's death, these things will only obey the mother, if they control the mother......

As he was thinking, Altaïr clapped his hands and said, "Okay guys, this level is not a big problem, let's go to the next level, are you ready to rappel?"
