Chapter Twenty-Three: Into the Cave
87_87057 Viper called Gangyan and asked him to sign a contract with Bai Qi to rent equipment from each other.
Gangyan was still worried that when he was fighting with the queen for a while, he might let himself go up, and when he heard the poisonous snake say this, he was immediately overjoyed.
Bai Qi pulled Gangyan to a place away from the team before he began to lend equipment to each other, Bai Qi was never willing to take off his equipment next to the Viper Squad.
When the two were formulating the lease contract, there was a little dispute, Bai Qi insisted on setting the time for borrowing equipment to three days, while Gangyan thought that there was no need to limit the time of death at all, and after hunting the queen, just change it back.
Bai Qi immediately shook his head and said, "There is no time limit, what if you take back your equipment in battle?" ”
Gangyan explained to Bai Qi: "This will never happen, it's not that I said to take back the equipment, and the equipment worn on you will disappear immediately." After I submit an application to the system to take back the equipment, the system will notify you and give you a deadline, within this period, we will exchange the equipment back, even if you complete this lease, even if you do not return the equipment within the time limit, the system will not forcibly take back the equipment on you, but will only confiscate the deposit of the rental equipment, and impose a fine on you that exceeds the value of the rental equipment. ”
But no matter how Gangyan explained, Bai Qi just shook his head, indicating that he couldn't trust him.
On the one hand, Gangyan was anxious to get rid of the positioning of MT, and on the other hand, he felt that even if he rented it for three days, it would not be a big deal, and even if this mission was completed, it would take more than three days to return to the base, so he agreed to this condition.
Next, when the two were making an agreement, under Bai Qi's strong request, they naturally used their equipment as a loan deposit, and Gangyan, who was in a hurry to complete the contract, did not insist too much, and agreed to this request that he obviously suffered.
After signing the contract under the supervision of the system, the two took off their equipment and exchanged with each other.
The green level of the iron-blooded armor on Gangyan's body, officially called the "Iron-blooded Guardian Armor", looks not much different from the light green iron-blooded armor, but it has a little more heaviness, but it feels completely different when worn on the body, it is at least twice as heavy as the light green iron-blooded armor, and the defense is more than twice as high as the light-green armor.
In addition to a suit of battle armor, Bai Qi also exchanged the green shield "Queen Mask" in his hand for the light blue shield "Iron Blood Barrier" in the opponent's hand, and exchanged the green war spear for the light blue war spear called "Iron Blood Glory" in the opponent's hand.
When exchanging battle armors, Gangyan was relatively calm, but when he handed over the shield and weapon in his hand to Bai Qi, his face suddenly showed reluctance.
Gangyan's iron-blooded heavy armor was purchased for him by the Huya team with team funds for this mission, but this shield and war spear are not, or not all funded by the team.
Originally, the Fire Qilin only planned to equip Gangyan with a green-level shield and weapons, but Gangyan proposed that the team would contribute half of the funds and half of his own funds to equip him with a light blue shield and a war spear.
After considering it, the Fire Kirin agreed to Steelstone's request, but he specified that Steelrock must purchase iron-blooded shields and weapons in order to better complete the mission.
Although he was not very satisfied with the attributes of this shield and war spear, Steel Rock still cherished them, after all, these two weapons were the first light blue equipment he had.
Taking over the "Iron Blood Barrier" from Gangyan's hand, Bai Qi was very satisfied with this shield, which was larger than the queen's mask and half heavier.
It's a pity that the other party doesn't have a light blue flying spear, thinking of this, Bai Qi smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that he was a little too greedy to think so.
This iron-blooded guardian armor not only greatly increases its defense, but also doubles the attribute bonus compared to the iron-blooded armor, and each component can add two attributes.
They are: Helmet, Constitution +1, Dexterity +1, Breastplate, Constitution +2, Leggings, Strength +2, Boots, Strength +1, Agility +1, Arm Guards, Strength +2, Gauntlet, Agility +2.
The attribute of "Iron Blood Barrier" is, defense 184~217; Stats are bonus, Constitution +2, Strength +2.
"Iron Glory" has an attack power of 115~132, an attribute bonus, a strength +2, and an agility +2.
These iron-blooded series of equipment have a common special attribute, that is, "resistance to strong acids", the difference is that the green level of iron-blooded heavy armor can only resist F-level strong acids, while the light blue equipment can resist E-level strong acids.
With the equipment in hand, Bai Qi returned to the team in good spirits.
Viper gathered all the members together, explained the terrain in the cave, and gave each person a rough assignment of combat missions.
After saying that, he stopped talking nonsense, turned around and waved his hand and led everyone towards the low mountain in the middle of the scorched earth.
This time, everyone walked out of the dense forest, without any cover-up.
The poisonous snake had just entered the depths of the cave and had used the "Complex Topographic Mapper" to reconnoiter the cave, where there were no alien shapes except for the queen.
The interior of the cave is extremely complicated, but the poisonous snake leads the way, so you won't get lost.
As everyone went deeper, the cave gradually became pitch black, and the Viper team, Abel, and Earl's men all took out glow sticks and discarded them along the way as lighting.
The preparations made by Bai Qi and the others before entering the mission space were not inadequate, and they also considered that they might fight in some dimly lit places, so they each prepared a tactical flashlight, but they didn't expect this cheap glow stick to be more practical.
The crowd trudged through the complex terrain of the cave for nearly ten minutes, and came to a cave that gradually widened.
The viper waved everyone to stop, turned around and said: "The queen's spawning room is at the bottom of this cave, and it is now headed by three MTs, with melee attackers as the second echelon and ranged attackers as the third echelon, advancing in layers. After entering the spawning chamber, the three MTs form a defensive line in front of the queen, the melee attacker uses a firearm to remove the eggs, and the ranged attacker attacks the queen as soon as possible, trying to inflict as much damage as possible on the queen before she breaks free of her genital organs. ”
"After the queen breaks free of her genital organs, she is blocked by the MT, and the melee attackers fight separately after clearing the eggs, looking for an opportunity to attack the queen, but remember, you can't get in the way of the MT, and the ranged attackers just attack."
Everyone nodded their heads to show that they understood, and the formation was quickly adjusted, Bai Qi and Abel and Earl took the lead, several melee attackers followed seven or eight meters behind the three people, and the remaining ranged attackers followed more than ten meters behind the melee attackers, and everyone walked towards the depths of the cave.
As everyone went deeper, on the cave wall, there was more and more organic matter formed by alien body fluids, and what everyone stepped on was not a rock, but a soft and tough organic matter, which felt like stepping on the body of some creature, and the spine of the mad person was cold.
The organic matter on the cave is more and more and thicker, but the cave is getting wider and wider.
As he walked, Bai Qi vaguely felt that the front seemed to suddenly become open, but because the lighting range of the glow stick was very limited, he couldn't determine how big the space in front was.
At this moment, the viper suddenly whispered, "Doctor, dance light technique." ”
Hearing this, the Doctor stretched out his staff a little forward, and spat out two short syllables that seemed simple and seemed extremely profound, and four faint points of light the size of his thumb shot out from the gem at the tip of the staff, shooting towards the air in front of him.
Dancing Light is a zero-level spell, and since it has no attack power, few people are willing to spend valuable resources to learn it, but I didn't expect the doctor to even learn such an unpopular spell.
The four points of light spread out, flying out more than ten meters upwards towards the front oblique, and suddenly it was bright and generous, faintly illuminating a huge cave of thousands of square meters.
The cave resembled an elongated droplet, and the place where everyone was located was the narrow upper end of the droplet, and a thick layer of brownish-black disgusting organic matter was spread on the floor and walls of the cave.
In the cave at the bottom of the cave nearly 100 meters away from everyone, there was a huge hideous alien hanging in the thick organic matter, which was alarmed by the light of the dancing light technique, let out a roar, and began to struggle violently.
The viper shouted eagerly, "Charge, try to inflict as much damage as possible on it before it breaks free of its genitals, and the melee attacker changes his gun and prepares the eggs." ”
Everyone also knew that if they wanted to complete the task, they could only advance and retreat at this time, and they all did not hesitate to charge towards the alien queen.
As the distance approached, Bai Qi found that there were hundreds of alien eggs densely erected around the queen, and I don't know whether they were called by the queen or attracted by the human breath, these eggs actually cracked at the same time.
The guns rang out suddenly, and almost all the space soldiers would learn the skill of "basic gun mastery" to save their lives when necessary, so these melee professionals were quite skilled in marksmanship, although everyone used submachine guns to fire, almost every bullet could shoot through a worm egg.
This time Bai Qi did not immediately increase his speed to the maximum, but slowly increased his running speed, when he was forty meters away from the alien, Bai Qi's speed finally reached the highest, he suddenly shouted angrily, stomped the ground with his left foot, and the whole person changed from a rapid charge to a static, and the flying spear in his hand shot out like lightning.
At this time, the alien had not yet broken free from the shackles of the huge and bulky reproductive organs, Bai Qi's flying spear slashed through the forty-meter space like lightning, and stabbed into the alien's chest, and the flying spear that could have penetrated the ordinary alien only penetrated lightly was only inserted into the alien's chest for more than a foot, such an injury was very slight for the huge alien mother.
Seeing the effect of this spear, Bai Qi gave up his plan to continue using the flying spear to attack.
Bai Qi rushed to a position more than ten meters away from the alien queen and stopped.
Although the marksmanship of a few melee attackers was good, there were hundreds of insect eggs here, and as soon as Bai Qi stopped, four or five alien larvae flew towards him.
Bai Qi swung his spear and whipped these ugly guys flying
