Chapter 37: Prelude to Blood and Water

The sound of the rain was mixed with the sharp sound of breaking the sky, and on both sides of the dilapidated highway where the convoy was driving, the sea of 'grass' bent by the rain appeared in the sound of breaking the air, and thick ballistic tracks were clearly visible, as if countless cannonballs were whizzing past the sea of grass.

In fact, the one-meter-high sea of grass as far as the eye can see is not strictly speaking, but the wheat seedlings that destroyed the wheat that was widely cultivated in the northern region before the past, and the wheat at this time has grown wildly into a sea of grass, and it is difficult to say whether it can produce wheat again.

"Sword beast! Careful"

Suddenly someone among the hunters shouted a loud warning, and as the man's warning fell, a terrifying scene occurred.

"Puff~Puff~"

Two rapid penetrating sounds were remembered, and a hunter on the first truck suddenly opened a large hole in his chest, and immediately blood flew everywhere, and the man fell headlong into the car before he understood what was going on; Almost at the same time, a black shadow that was difficult to catch with the naked eye shone on the roof of the third car, and his head burst open like a rotten watermelon, and blood spurted from his neck like a fountain.

The sudden change caused the heavy hunters to panic, but in the panic they did almost the same thing, and lay on the roof of the car.

"What the hell?" Before Li Gang could finish speaking, Gao Lei rushed up and pressed Li Gang down on the roof of the car, and at the same time he himself was clinging to the roof of the car.

Li Gang pushed Gao Lei's hand away and said, "I really don't have that interest!" ”

"Are you still in the mood for a joke?" Gao Lei said solemnly, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

Looking at Gao Lei's serious expression and listening to the increasingly dense and loud sound of breaking the air in his ears, Li Gang asked, "What the hell is this?" ”

Gao Lei, who was attached to the roof of the car, tilted his head and explained to Li Gang: "Sword beasts are common mutant beasts in the wilderness and grass sea, generally act in groups, ranging from dozens to hundreds of them in each group, they are not large, and their heads are named after the sword thorns in the shape of narrow and short swords, and they are good at piercing attacks, and their speed can be supersonic when moving." Anyway, they have no other way to attack than this. A single sword beast is not terrible, and even the most ordinary mid-level evolutionaries can deal with it if they are prepared, and they are afraid that they are in groups, and their extremely high movement speed makes their sneak attacks unguardable, and it is even more difficult to defend against them in this weather.

"Everyone get up and fight, destroy the sword beast at speed, it's useless to hide on the roof of the car!" Gao Lei shouted immediately after explaining to Li Gang, and at the same time, the body like a little giant jumped up.

Gao Lei, a hunter who often walks in the wilderness, knows a lot about sword beasts, which are common mutant beasts in the wilderness, sword beasts can not only move on the ground, but they can also 'fly'!

Bumper bumper

Several sword beasts shot out of the sea of grass on the ground, stabbing trucks and jeep bodies, their hard head spikes and high speed allowing them to easily pierce through the iron bodies.

A sword beast stabbed through the driver's door of the truck and exited through the roof, letting out a scream from inside the car while blood stained the glass red.

The same thing played out in each truck, although the direction of the puncture was different, but the damage caused to the people in the car was undoubted, and only a few people in the car were lucky enough to avoid the piercing of the sword beast in the first round of attacks. Some people wanted to jump out of the car and run away out of fear, but as soon as they jumped out of the car, they were pierced by the sword beast shot out of the grass and died.

The piercing of the sword beasts that attacked the cab of the truck was very effective, and they all came out of this side and there, and even their figures could not be seen clearly, only the large holes and splattered blood that appeared on the body of the car in the sound of impact.

Attacking the cargo box behind the truck, trying to pierce the compartment, attacking the people hiding on the roof of the car, and attacking the jeep sword beast did not go so smoothly.

The sword beast that attacked the truck's cargo box stabbed its head into the compartment and stopped, unable to advance a single inch. The attack on the jeep was even worse, in the loud bang of the 'bumper', the jeep was swayed by the collision, but the sword spur of the attacking sword beast only hit a shallow pit on the body of the car and was bounced to the ground.

Most of the trucks contained various mutated hides purchased at the gathering point, and experienced caravans would stick the hides inside the crates to fix them, which not only kept the hides flat but also protected other goods, and many of these hides were high-level mutant hides. Therefore, although the sword beast pierced the iron sheet of the truck's truck, it could not pierce the animal skin inside, so it was blocked.

As for the off-road vehicle, the wagon was obviously specially processed, and it was likely that it was made of iron with a curing agent, and whether it was or not, the car that could block the fierce attack of the sword beast was definitely not ordinary. The glass of the off-road vehicle is also extremely strong, and the sword beast comparable to a cannonball was all jumped open when it hit it, and the glass did not even crack!

In the face of the attack, the convoy has long been stopped, no matter how fast these cars run, they can't outrun the supersonic sword beast, and once the cab is attacked, it will cause a series of accidents, which is even more dangerous.

The sword beast that failed to hit the off-road vehicle landed made Li Gang, who climbed to the edge of the carriage, their true face of Lushan.

The sword beast is shaped like a lizard, counting the total length of the tail is about 80 centimeters, the vertical and narrow sword-shaped spines on the head account for nearly half of the length of the body, the skin is dark green, the limbs are short and thick, and the claws are sharp. There are three narrow elytra on each side of the body, corresponding to each other. It has a retractable dorsal fin on its back, and a flattened fan-shaped caudal fin on its short tail. The round torso is full of explosive power.

I saw that the body of the sword beast that fell to the ground jumped up as soon as it bounced, and the short limbs at the moment of landing were like four powerful engines, and the high frequency staggered even made a 'buzzing' vibration sound, and the sharp claws gave it this excellent grip, but the ultra-high frequency made the soil under the sword beast's feet spray like a flame, and the sword beast shot out like a cannonball, and at the same time, its six elytra also vibrated at high speed, allowing the sword beast to break through the speed of sound in just one second, shooting a clearly visible trajectory in the rain curtain and grass. The sharp sound of swishing and breaking through the air.

Gao Lei, who got up, immediately became the target of everyone, and several sword beasts flew straight towards Gao Lei from the grass.

High-level evolutionaries are not vegetarians after all, and with a wave of the sledgehammer in Gao Lei's hand, the hammer shadow suddenly covered the roof of the car.

"Bell"

Several sword beasts were hit by the sledgehammer and flew out upside down but did not die, and Gao Lei's dancing sledgehammer was also stagnant, the impact force of these guys was not small. In the brief moment when Gao Lei's sledgehammer was stagnant, several more sword beasts shot in. Gao Lei was about to fight back again, the rain around the truck suddenly rose white steam, and then the falling rain solidified in the air to form an ice cover, a crackling sound, the ice cover was stabbed by the sword beast to shatter, but it also slowed down their speed, Gao Lei's sledgehammer smashed them one after another.

Ren Youwei is an ice-type evolutionary, and the ice cover is exactly what he did.

"Good!" Li Gang applauded.

Gao Lei glared at Li Gang, who was lying there without the slightest intention of making a move, and said angrily: "When do you kid want to see it, get up and fight the sword beast for me!" ”

Li Gang turned over, propped his head with one hand and said leisurely: "I don't have a weapon, don't you want me to play the stunt of entering the white blade empty-handed?" ”

Although Li Gang's reasons sound very sufficient, Gao Lei always feels that something is not right, and he feels like he has been fooled.

"Crunch ~~~"

The sound of biting popsicles attracted everyone's attention, and when they looked at the source of the sound, it was Tofu Hua who grabbed a piece of ice from the broken ice cover and put it to his mouth. Looking at its frowning expression, it's quite **.

"I found that your pets are really easy to keep and eat everything." Gao Lei sweated.

"Well, well, I also found out, why don't it pick, the teeth are very good!" Thinking of the rattling diamond ring chewed by the tofu flower, Li Gang felt distressed for a while. Sometimes picky eating isn't necessarily a bad thing.

While Li Gang was speaking, a sword beast shot towards the unsuspecting tofu flower, Li Gang realized that it was too late, and hurriedly shouted: "Tofu flower quickly dodge!" ”

"Ah~~"

Although Tofu Hua can understand some simple words, it has not yet reached the realm of not learning on its own. Li Gang's shout, it only reacted to the three words 'tofu flower', and as for the 'quick flash' in the back, it didn't understand at all, it was a new word for it.

Syllable!

The ice cubes in Tofuhua's hands shattered into ice slag, but there was no blood flying. Looking at it, he saw a sword beast being grabbed by a confused tofu flower in his hand, to be precise, the sword beast's head sword thorn was pinched by the tofu flower's small hand, and the sword beast's body was struggling desperately in the air.

Tofu Hua grabbed the sword beast's sword thorn and shook it curiously like a mallet, and after the sword beast let out a sharp 'squeak' sound, its body twisted violently, and the extremely fast twisting speed was like a high-frequency vibration, and made a 'buzzing' vibration sound. Once the sword beast stabs something and gets stuck, it will use this high-frequency vibration generated by twisting its body to break away, and now it has been caught by Tofu Hua, so it wants to break away in this way.

The vibration of the sword beast made Tofu Hua's little hands tremble as well, which made it uncomfortable.

"Bumper Bumper Bumper"

The poor sword beast was violently thrown back and forth on the roof of the car by the tofu flower as a mallet, and it was a lot more honest.

"Ah~~"

Raising the sword beast, Tofu Hua stared at the sword beast's small eyes hidden behind the sword thorn with a curious baby-like expression, and then grabbed the skull above its eyes with a small hand and smiled happily.

Click!

The hard skull of the sword beast was crushed, revealing the red and white brains inside, and it was already dead before it had time to scream. Tofu Hua's small mouth approached the brain and sucked it up, and the little brain was eaten by it in two bites, and at the end it stretched out its tongue and licked it in the skull.

The people in the car who watched this scene were sick to their stomachs.

"Meat ~ Meat ~"

It screamed twice excitedly.

In the eyes of tofu flowers, delicious things are called meat. Next, it didn't stupidly stand to catch the rain and drink, and didn't gnaw on the ice, but scurried around in the car, and all the sword beasts that shot it were reduced to its food. Gao Lei and the others were idle, counting the corpses of the sword beasts on the roof of the car.

Li Gang picked up the corpse of a sword beast and observed, its sword thorns were not sharp on both sides but densely covered with tiny serrations, and the tip was very sharp. He took out the stainless steel dagger he bought and stabbed at the sword, and after a crisp sound of 'Zheng', a gap opened in the blade of the stainless steel dagger, but the sword spur of the sword beast was not damaged at all.

Gao Lei saw Li Gang's actions and said: "No need to try, the sword thorn of this thing is very strong, and it can be made into a weapon after a little processing when taken down, and its strength can catch up with a weapon with a general curing agent." ”

Li Gang was overjoyed, "The weapon has been found!" ”

Li Gang and their side have a greedy Lori so that the sword beast has no return, but the other people on the roof of the car are not so relaxed.

At first, lying on the roof of the car was able to avoid the piercing of the sword beast, but after a little time, the sword beast changed its strategy after realizing that it could not penetrate the car.

In the roar, one by one the sword beasts shot into the sky, and swooped down on the people on the roof of the car after making a sharp turn through their dorsal fins and tails in the air from tens of meters to hundreds of meters, and the elytra on both sides of their bodies also vibrate, making the sword beasts that had adjusted their direction accelerate sharply, like swords falling from the sky and stabbing straight at the hunters on the roof of the car.

After several of the hunters on the roof of the car were nailed to human meat specimens, the hunters also realized that they could not hide and began to fight back.

Suddenly, various attacks were staged on the roof of the car, and Gao Lei's team also took action to help the other hunters deal with the sword beasts. Now is not the time to hide and tuck, it is the time to win and lose. If the other hunters are hanging, then Gao Lei and they can't run.

"Ice Blast"

Ren Youwei shouted, and the rain instantly condensed into sharp ice picks, and then shot overwhelmingly towards the swooping sword beast.

"Rock Blessing"

The ground was stirred by the Yuan Force of the thick earth, and the sand and stone quickly formed a solid armor on the surface of his body, and the rock armor formed with the power of a high-level evolutionary made him not afraid of the piercing attack of the sword beasts, as long as his Yuan Force was inexhaustible, no matter how many of these sword beasts were, they were useless. Seeing that the sword beast couldn't hurt himself, Houtu fortunately jumped out of the car and boldly confronted the sword beast head-on. It's just that the thick soil that hunts sword beasts to his heart's content soon finds that his yuan power consumption is very fast, although these sword beasts can't break through their rock armor in a short time, they will still cause damage to the rock armor, and the constant repair causes a large amount of yuan power to be consumed, plus he also attacks with other skills, the yuan power consumption is naturally fast. This forced him to rein in.

The sword beast's head sword thorn is hard, and its body is strong in impact resistance, but the defense of other parts of the body is average, as long as it hits the right place, it is easy for a mid-level evolutionary to kill a sword beast, provided that you can hit it.

The other hunters also attacked, with those who could attack with ranged use ranged and those who couldn't attack blessed with various stats or defenses.

"Flaming Arrow!"

An arrow of flame flew out, and steam filled its path.

"Rock Gun Volley"

The soil is condensed into rock cones and ejected into sheets.

"Air Blade!"

The invisible blade of air cut through the rain curtain and slashed a sword beast at its waist.

"Spring!"

More than a meter of grass on the ground seemed to come alive and wrapped around the sword beasts shuttling through.

"Thunder and lightning field!"

The lightning flickered, and the people around him were put to the ground

"Damn, a little common sense, okay? Water conducts electricity, which side of the hell are you? ”

"Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes" Thunderbolt Evolutionary went to the side to draw circles and reflect.

Flesh Evolvers do not have ranged attack power, so they guard the roof of the car, and rely on them to intercept any sword beast that rushes to the roof of the car.

The evolutionaries here are all intermediate and above, once they calm down and fight together, the threat of these one-trick fresh sword beasts that rely on sneak attacks and speed to win is greatly reduced, and they have no other means of attack except piercing, as long as they are prepared, these middle-level evolutionaries will be easily shot.

The worst thing is that there is also a murderous Lori Tofu Flower, which is not satisfied with waiting for 'meat' on the roof of the car, but fortunately jumps out of the car to catch it by itself. The speed of the sword beast is fast, and it is far from the phantom tofu flower, and Lori is basically a catch, and she doesn't have to run at all. Once caught, the sword beast will face the tragic fate of being knocked out of its skull and eaten by its brain.

Tofu Flower runs and jumps extremely fast in the grass, plus there is heavy rain cover, but no one pays attention to it, even if it is occasionally seen, it will only be regarded as a rapidly moving sword beast, and now life and death are at stake, who is in the mood to carefully pursue an unknown shadow? Maybe someone discovered the tofu flower, but maybe they didn't have time, maybe they were too lazy to care, and no one promoted it.

As for so many attacks, will they accidentally injure the tofu flowers? There's no need to worry about that. Not to mention that it can't hit it at all, even if it does, it can't break through its perverted defenses that even high-level evolutionaries can't move.

After more than twenty minutes of the battle with the sword beast, the sword beast left half of its companion corpses and disappeared into the grass. Looking at the corpses of dozens of sword beasts on the ground, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but only one Lori was still unsatisfied. It wanted to chase the sword beast, but was dragged back by Li Gang. Tofu Flower has been catching sword beasts in loli form all along, maybe it thinks there is no need to transform these goods, and it is true.

The grass near the convoy was no longer in shape, the rain had not stopped, and the blood and water were mixed and flowed in all directions, staining the ground red, both sword beasts and humans.

In this battle killed 5 hunters, 3 drivers, and this loss was considered lucky. The death of a friend or comrade-in-arms weighs on the atmosphere, and no one is surprised, since being a hunter is to be prepared to die at any time, and the living can only pray silently for their dead companions while rejoicing.

Hastily cleaning up the corpses of the sword beasts and burying the dead, the convoy hurried away from the hellish battlefield, the heavy rain could stop the smell of blood from spreading, but the blood scattered in the rain could attract other mutant beasts.

Some of the truck's cabs were damaged, but fortunately the engines were fine, so it was no problem to start.

On the roof of the car, Li Gang, who had been playing soy sauce from beginning to end, commanded Tofu Hua to dispose of the corpse of the sword beast that he picked up, and the so-called treatment was to take off the sword thorn on the head of the sword beast, which was a good thing, and the weapon was counting on it.

It is worth mentioning that from beginning to end, both off-road vehicles never opened the door.

"Hiccup~~"

The tofu flower working with his bare hands hiccuped, and Li Gang touched its head and said, "Hold on?" ”

"Meat ~ Burp ~ "

Looking at Tofu Hua with a pair of big watery eyes, with a cute Lolita voice, and the slender tender hands unambiguously pulling off the heads of sword beasts, the scene is really weird.

"It's not okay to sell cute, work for me quickly, don't give meat if you don't clean up!" Li Gang patted Lori's little buttocks, a typical perverted Lori nymphomaniac.

Therefore, Li Gang was despised by Gao Lei: "Don't shoot in so many places, you are really a pervert!" I'll keep an eye on you! ”

"The butt feels good, I'll shoot it, are you envious, jealous and hateful? I don't just shoot, I also touch, what can you do! "It's very upset that Gao Lei despises Li Gang, this is obviously just a non-human, and Lori's appearance is just a disguised form, how can there be a pervert? So he deliberately went against him, and really grabbed his hand on the tofu flower butt and showed it to Gao Lei.

"Poof~~"

Tofu Hua showed a very cool expression, Li Gang felt a warm and sticky feeling in his hands, and then a foul smell came to his nose, making Gao Lei and the others also pinch their noses.

Li Gang looked at the poop in his hand, and suddenly burst into tears, "Your sister, Lori's ass can't be touched!" ”

Since then, poor Li Gang's children's shoes have left a psychological shadow on a certain part of Lori

Fortunately, the rain is heavy.,Put your hand in the rain and rush hard.,After washing it over and over again, there is no smell.,Enjoy the same treatment as a certain uncivilized Lori.。

Gao Lei and the others had already laughed, especially Gao Lei, who patted his thigh and said: "Retribution, retribution!" Hahaha, no, I'm going to die laughing."

Li Gang glared at Gao Lei angrily, "You'll just die laughing." ”

It didn't stop until four o'clock in the afternoon, and the convoy walked a little longer, and it stopped to rest at seven o'clock in the evening. There was no dry firewood to be found after the rain, but there were flame-type evolutionaries, and the two evolutionaries easily dried the moisture of the firewood and still lit four bonfires around the convoy. The probability of attracting mutant beasts by the light of fire in this open wilderness is extremely low, and the key is to prevent the sneak attack of a large number of small animals lurking in the wilderness, such as sword beasts encountered during the day. There are very few large-scale high-level mutant beasts in this kind of place, but small animals are everywhere, and if they are not guarded, they will be bitten off their throats when they sleep, and some strange insects will get into their noses, ears and mouths, wouldn't they die very unjustly?

The night was very peaceful, Li Gang didn't go to the trouble of the mutant beast this time, and the knife horn beast last night was enough to eat.

The well-fed tofu flower fell asleep with a kick on his legs, and its owner, Li Gang, still had to keep vigil in the second half of the night. In boredom, he also braided a crooked pigtail for the sleeping Tofu Hua, which caused the Tofu Hua to touch the top of his uncomfortable head over and over again the next day.

Li Gang smiled but did not speak.

Everything went smoothly for the next two days, the attack by the sword beast had faded, and it was already very close to the city of the Mingquan Defense Circle, and it was less than a day's journey away, so the hunters resumed talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Is it really that easy? There are at least two groups of people who are not so easy.

On the roof of the first and second cars were a procession of thick earth hunters, their ease more like an excitement, the joy of a purpose to be accomplished. However, they are not happy that they are about to arrive at their destination and complete their mission.

The atmosphere in the caravan boss's off-road vehicle was extremely depressing, and the somewhat obese middle-aged boss nervously looked out of the car window, as if he was looking for something, and he seemed to be afraid of something. The guards who belonged to the caravan quietly reached into their arms, as if grasping the object in their arms would make them feel more at ease.

Calm is just a sign of a storm, and the only ones who are really relaxed may be Li Gang, who has no discipline, and his foodie pet tofu flower, who is also undisciplined
