Chapter 4: The Labyrinth
The pyramid is cold and dark, and in such a lightless environment, silence is the biggest demon, which will make people unconsciously feel that there seems to be a dangerous man-eating monster hidden in the darkness ahead.
When Shoko first entered the pyramid, the pyramid was still asleep, and now, the whole building seems to have awakened. There was always a terrifying scream that reached Shoko's ears intermittently, and it was the enemy of all intelligent life - the alien! Compared to here, Xiao Ke felt that Dinosaur Island, where the first trial was held, was simply a tourist attraction.
Shawco quietly observed the lost pyramid with his strengthened eyes, carefully distinguishing every sound that came into his ears. At this moment, there was a sudden angry roar in the distance: "Don't touch that, no! With the roar of the "no" that had changed its voice, the silent pyramid in the darkness shook violently, and the silent dark temple seemed to be breathed into life, and various mechanisms began to roar, and the huge stones that made up the ground and walls began to move and reassemble to form a huge labyrinth. Anyone who has seen this movie knows that this is the mechanism triggered by the Predator's weapon left here, the "shoulder cannon", which was moved, and the entire pyramid has come to life, and this is just the beginning, from now on, every ten minutes, the inside of the pyramid will be reorganized, and the trialists trapped in it will no longer need to face not only the two monsters of aliens and predators, but also this dark labyrinth.
Faced with this sudden change, Xiao Ke smiled silently and slowly disappeared into the darkness.
In the depths of the pyramid, Hou Jie was moving cautiously. In the darkness of unknown enemies, the highly tense nerves have become a heavy burden. He was originally acting with the large force of the Iron Band, but due to his cautious personality, he did not choose to join the Iron Band, but carefully distanced himself from the large army, and Edmund and Thor did not say anything about his behavior of taking over the light. But when the inside of the pyramid began to move, he was isolated from each other, and he had to complete the next task alone.
Hou Jie held a German-style G36 submachine gun in his hand and wore a high-precision infrared night vision device on his head. He was glad that he had paid a high price for this high-precision night vision device, and many trialists used a light source like a searchlight to deal with the darkness, and now they were paying for their wrong choices.
Maintaining a high concentration of mental power at all times made Hou Jie's forehead ooze beads of sweat slightly, but he did not relax for a moment, it was his cautious character that allowed him to survive peacefully until now after entering the temple. This time, his caution was also rewarded, above a stone gate in front of him, an alien was hanging quietly against the wall, patiently waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net, if Hou Jie's observation was not careful enough, he would not be able to detect it at all, then he would be mortally attacked the moment he passed through the stone gate.
Hou Jie, who found the alien, did not make any abnormal moves, still maintained the original speed and moved slowly, when approaching the range of the submachine gun, he suddenly raised the muzzle of the gun, and aimed at the alien is a crazy strafing, the alien was caught off guard by this sudden crazy attack, and fell off the wall screaming, but Hou Jie did not stop there, but continued to shoot at the alien on the ground, and stopped until the bullet was exhausted, but he just breathed a sigh of relief, and the alien on the ground bounced violently, Hou Jie rushed to Hou Jie from mid-air with a strange scream, Hou Jie was in danger, picked up the submachine gun with empty bullets and aimed at the alien, and pulled the trigger violently, only to see that the muzzle of the gun lit up, and a ball of energy shining with fiery red light shot out from the muzzle of the gun, shooting straight into the alien's gaping mouth, and then with a bang, the entire head of the alien burst open, and the corpse fell from the air and landed at Hou Jie's feet.
Hou Jie whispered to himself: "Taste the power of my explosive bomb!" ”
Unexpectedly, before the words fell, Hou Jie felt a chill in his heart, two sharp knives pierced from the back, and from the front chest, and then Hou Jie was carried by the knife, and the whole person was lifted up, flung hard, and hit the wall.
Hou Jie collapsed on the ground, blood couldn't stop coming out of his mouth, Hou Jie knew that his lung lobes were pierced, this fatal attack for ordinary people, of course, could not have killed Hou Jie, who had passed three trials, but it also hit him hard, but this attack, Hou Jie's health was knocked out by half.
In front of Hou Jie, a burly Predator broke away from the invisible state with the shining electric light, staring at Hou Jie coldly, and on the armor of his wrists, two sharp scimitars stretched out, and blood was slowly dripping from the tip of the knife to the ground.
Hou Jie gasped heavily, the punctured lobe of his lung had affected his normal breathing. He pretended to be weak and collapsed on the ground, but he rolled violently, out of the Predator's sight, raised the submachine gun in his hand, and a burst bullet was about to shoot out from the muzzle, but at this moment, the Predator struck first, the muzzle of the shoulder cannon flashed, and an energy bullet had taken the lead in hitting Hou Jie's muzzle, and the two energy bullets collided together at Hou Jie's muzzle, and Hou Jie's submachine gun was blown to pieces with a bang, and Hou Jie's hands were also blown up bloody.
Hou Jie quickly threw away the blown up submachine gun, and returned his hand to touch his arms, but a triangular red ray appeared on his face, and he was aimed at the shoulder gun! Hou Jie's heart was cold, and he thought: It's over, am I going to die here?
At this moment when all thoughts were lost, a vigorous figure fell from the sky like a shining lightning, and along with this figure, there was a cold light that cut through the darkness, this cold light cut through the darkness, and also cut through the arm of the Predator against the shoulder cannon! Green blood gushed out, and the fluorescent green blood even slightly illuminated the dark space. All this happened for a moment, and before the Predator could scream, a powerful whip leg was whipped on his head, and the mask on his head was shaken off by this fierce attack, and the Predator only felt a buzz in his head, and his facial features were twitched together, and he flew out with a miserable howl, hitting the wall.
Hou Jie came back to his senses at this time, and looked at the savior who suddenly appeared in front of him in a daze, and then his eyes froze, and fell on the weapon that had cut off the Predator's arm just now, which was actually a classic wrist knife of the Predator, but it was no longer a heavily armed Predator, but a tall and heroic trialist!
The trialist turned his head with a lazy smile on his face and smiled at Hou Jie, "Manager Hou, we meet again!" ”
Hou Jie looked at his face in surprise, it was Xiao Ke!
At this time, the battered Predator had already struggled to get up, brandishing the wrist knife on his one-armed arm, and roared at Shoko, who lightly blocked his attack with one hand, and punched him in the head with the other hand, and the Predator's head was dizzy and fell to the ground again.
The tenacious Predator still refused to admit defeat, and struggled to stand up again, but Xiao Ke impatiently stabbed back, and the Predator's head flew high and died completely, and the soul light was also sucked into Xiao Ke's soul mark.
Hou Jie had already taken out the recovery food at this time to recover, looking at the Predator who had been easily eliminated, and secretly said in his heart: It's so strong! He stood up against the wall and said to Xiao Ke: "Thank you Brother Xiao for saving your life!" ”
Xiao Ke waved his hand and said: "You also helped me a lot in the temple, and invited me to watch the gladiatorial fight, so I should do you a small favor!" However, if you are so grateful to me that you have to repay me, then give me some soul when you get back. ”
Hou Jie smiled and said, "Definitely, definitely!" Then he changed his voice and asked, "Brother Xiao must have killed a lot of Predators, right?" Like this Predator's wrist knife, the drop rate is extremely low, it is said to be extremely sharp, and the Xiao brothers really deserve to be strong. ”
Xiao Ke was stunned for a moment and said: "I have encountered a lot of aliens and predators along the way, but my hidden skills are not blown, and they have all been bypassed. Only this guy didn't know how to find me, and I had to reluctantly ask for his life and take his knife, wahahaha! As he spoke, he swept the wrist knife on his right wrist, and proudly unfolded the attribute to Hou Jie:
"Equipment: Secret Iron Blood Wrist Knife (One-handed sword weapon, green quality, attack power 11~15, sharpness c+, agility +1, strength +1, durability 1/1, equipment characteristics: This knife is forged from rare metals in the universe through a mysterious process and can never be damaged. Equipment requirements: Agility attribute 10 points or more)"
Hou Jie exclaimed: "No, you only killed one and dropped the equipment, and it's still so superb?" It's just a fine line away from blue gear. Someone has killed the elite Iron Blood in Alien vs. Predator II before, and the equipment dropped seems to be slightly worse than this one, Brother Xiao really deserves to be the strongest of the strong, not to mention his skills, and his luck is so good! ”
Xiao Ke laughed and said, "Of course, hahahaha, it's a pity that his cloak didn't blow out, his cloak is very cool." ”
"Cloak!" Hou Jie was dumbfounded, Hou Jie, who had carefully studied the Predator scene, knew very well in his heart that the Predator in the cloak was a strong man above the captain level among the elite Predators, several levels higher than the Predator Trialist who almost killed him just now, that was a boss-like existence, and he was actually killed in Xiao Ke's understated description? Hou Jie's eyes were a little strange when he looked at Xiao Ke again, and he thought: Maybe he is a real monster!
Xiao Ke was still smiling triumphantly, suddenly smiled, a large-caliber pistol suddenly appeared in his left hand, according to the direction of Hou Jie is a shot, Hou Jie was caught off guard, almost sat down on the ground, fortunately the gunshot, but he was not hurt, and an object fell from his side, Hou Jie looked carefully, and it was a cold sweat, it turned out to be a alien larvae - a dough worm! Its strong acid blood creaked the ground to corrode. The health of this dough worm is very low, and it can kill it with just one shot, but its lethality is not small at all, and even if it is parasitized, it will be as life-threatening as a trialist.
Looking at Hou Jie, who was not lightly frightened, Xiao Ke put away his pistol and said in a low voice: "Aha, Manager Hou, it looks like you are scared enough, you better take a good rest here and relax your nerves, I'm leaving!" ”
Hou Jie exclaimed: "This is leaving?" ”
Xiao Ke said: "yes, you don't expect me to protect you, do you?" I'm good-hearted, but I'm a bad person, and at best a good bad person, and you can't expect me to help you anymore! ”
Hou Jie hurriedly nodded and said in a straight voice: "Where, Brother Xiao said and laughed." Brother Meng saved me twice, I am already grateful, where do I dare not be satisfied, brother go well, be careful all the way. When he raised his head, Xiao Ke had disappeared, Hou Jie was completely stunned by such a strange skill, and after a while, Hou Jie exhaled, took out another piece of food, and sat on the ground to recover.
