Chapter Eighty-Four: The Feathered Serpent
Everyone instantly spread out in a spherical shape, and the large-caliber Gauss rifle shone with an arc of electricity, spraying needle-shaped bullets wildly.
'Quetzalcoatl' was caught off guard by the blow, his body was densely covered with pierced bullet marks, his cold vertical pupils were full of anger, and he let out a strange roar when he looked up to the sky.
Wang Peng's eyes lit up, and he quietly threw out three smart tracking bombs, and at the moment when the 'Quetzalcoatl' pounced, Wang Peng turned off the power armor thruster and swallowed the three smart bombs with a big mouth.
The high-temperature plasma quietly burst open, devouring flesh and blood, dissolving a large cavity in its abdomen.
With a wail, it slammed into the water and sank, and the gorgeous feathers were scattered miserably on the water, and everyone held their breath and remained vigilant.
Soon there was a ripple on the surface of the water, and with a large stream of blood fainting, the body of the 'Quetzalcoatl' floated up.
"This is dead?" Wang Peng was a little incredulous for a while, and within two minutes of the battle, this god in Mayan mythology and legend turned into a dead body floating on the water.
Wang Peng controlled the armor to fall above the water, pointed to the long corpse and asked, "Is this thing going to be pulled back?" ”
"Commander, be careful!" The moment he heard the caution, the black power armor leaped into the air in an attempt to dodge the attack.
Another feathered serpent silently sprang out of the water, devouring the hard armor in one gulp, and disappeared into the water with a flick of its long tail.
This was as if it was a signal, dozens of feathered snakes rushed out of the bottom of the water, the strange organs in the jaws made a sizzling sound, and the mist all over the body transmitted the slightest arc, crackling loudly.
"Defensive formation!" A soldier shouted and stood at the front, one by one the black armor stood side by side, and at the same time activated the electromagnetic energy shield, leaning against the stone wall, the hemispherical energy shield firmly blocked the feathered serpent that pounced.
At this time, the soldier who served as the temporary commander looked at the energy shield that was quickly consumed by the charged water mist, and calmly gave an order, "Listen to my order, the plasma bomb is fired three times!" ”
“3!”
“2!”
“1!”
The shield disappeared in an instant, and dense plasma bombs flew into the group of feathered serpents, "Shield! ”
The large clumps of plasma burst in an instant, and the bright blue light illuminated the entire underground space.
Although Wang Peng didn't know what happened to the investigation team, he also knew that there was more than one feathered snake, and the moment he was swallowed, he pressed the button of the electromagnetic rifle and tried to break out of his abdomen.
But the entire armor was wrapped in strong muscles, and the Gauss rifle couldn't turn the muzzle, and a pair of sharp blades popped out from the back of the armored hand with a 'bang', and Wang Peng tried to make a cutting action.
But the flesh and blood that is useless in the face of the Gauss rifle are as tough as a knife cutting through cowhide when facing the blade of the alloy blade.
Feathered Serpent folded its wings and swam frantically forward, advancing so fast that Wang Peng could hear the sound of rapid lapping of the water.
Wang Peng sighed, reluctantly put away the alloy blade, and waited patiently.
Soon, there was a 'whooshing' sound of water outside, apparently the feathered serpent had arrived at its destination, and the armor that was swallowed into its belly touched the wound from time to time as it walked, and after frequent roars, the feathered serpent finally couldn't stand it anymore, and felt a trace of disgust at the 'food' in its body, and spit out the black armor with a disgusted snort.
The black armor lay motionless on the ground, the feathered snake swam forward and twitched with its tail, opening its sharp teeth to try to tear it, Wang Peng grabbed its upper and lower jaws and forcibly separated, and the high-energy laser biu shot out, cutting half of its head along the fragile jawbone.
After letting go of his hand and confirming that the feathered snake was dead, Wang Peng looked around.
This is a natural underground cave, next to an underwater passage with a diameter of more than five meters, Wang Peng squatted down to pick up the skeleton remains scattered on the ground, and the results obtained after scanning made Wang Peng a little surprised, the restored appearance of these remains could not be found in the database.
"Looks like there's a lot of secrets hidden under the water." After talking to himself, Wang Peng released the 'scout' to explore the way.
After confirming the temporary security, he began to contact the investigation team, "I'm Wang Peng, how are you there?" ”
"Glad to hear from you, Commander, the investigation team is safe and sound." At this point, the soldier who led the team quickly explained what had happened next, highlighting the ability of the Feathered Serpent to generate high-energy electrical charges.
'High-energy charge? Wang Peng subconsciously glanced at the killed Feathered Serpent, "I know, I'll be careful." ”
A lair without shelter is obviously not a good place to hide, but the Scouts soon had good news.
Glancing at the amount of ammunition, Wang Peng followed the path transmitted back by the 'scout' and slowly disappeared into the dim lair of the Feathered Serpent.
At this time, the investigation team, which was on alert above the water, breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news of the commander's safety, and began to find a way to go to the rendezvous.
"Although the quantum positioning signal shows that the commander is not far from us in a straight line." The temporary commander frowned, "But the underground waterways are complex and changeable, and I don't know if there are any more dangerous existences, what do the three mean?" ”
The three researchers talked in a low voice, and the results were obtained, one stayed to collect the specimen of the feathered snake, and the other two followed the investigation team to move forward.
"Then release the 'scouts', check the ammunition and get ready to go!"
——————————————————
Just as the investigation team was chasing Wang Peng along the winding waterway, Wang Peng looked at the 'scouts' who were spinning in place, and his face was embarrassed, and he cursed in a low voice, "Here you go again." ”
According to the scanned range, Wang Peng tried to locate the location of the jammer, but he dug three or four deep pits above his head and feet without finding anything.
I had no choice but to stop, change the 'scout' to alert mode, and wait for the members of the investigation team to follow.
The dim environment soon made Wang Peng feel a little bored, and looked up at the spherical detector that served as a sentinel dutifully, and the scientific researcher that Wang Peng left to study the corpse of the feathered serpent asked him, "This underground space is dim and lightless, it stands to reason that the creatures in it, including the feathered serpent, should be mainly observed by infrared vision, and the power armor has no thermal energy response at all, why do these feathered quells attack us?" ”
"Ion thrusters." The scientific researchers lightly threw out five words.
Wang Peng smiled awkwardly, and continued to ask, "What about the 'Scout' probe?" The Scouts don't have ion thrusters, do they? ”
"Snakes are very sensitive to moving targets." The researcher said with interest, "The Feathered Serpent should have similar functions, but the Feathered Serpent also has very wonderful abilities. ”
"That high-energy charge?" Wang Peng subconsciously answered when he heard this.
"Not only that, Commander, do you remember the mist around the first Quetzalcoatl?" The scientist's fanatical voice sounded, "Those strange water mist, is it very similar to weightlessness?" ”
Wang Peng thought about it seriously, not to mention, it's really quite similar!
