Chapter 511: The Lost City
The woods were quiet, not even a little wind.
The turtledove and the little worm stood side by side, the pistol in the little worm's hand was purely an ornament, the bullets in it had long been used up on the swamp side, and now it only played a role in giving the little worm courage, and the turtle dove had suffered a little bit of injury in the fight just now.
The right arm was cut out of a wound of more than ten centimeters, but fortunately the wound was not deep.
But in the face of this kind of situation that makes people confused, Turtledove always can't help but feel weak in his heart, not that he is timid or whatever, Turtledove's courage must not be mentioned, the key is that he is inexperienced in dealing with similar situations, after all, Turtledove has only been in contact with these strange things in the past year.
In the past, when he was in Mouse City, Turtledove had never encountered any experimental subjects of this or that kind, and it was considered an "adventure" to be able to encounter the "A1" type called a humanoid monster, not to mention some terrifying experimental subjects such as Goliath and Atlas.
Although the strength has been greatly improved compared to before, the mentality of the turtledove is far less rapid than that of its own strength, relatively speaking, the mentality of the turtledove is still slightly immature.
The condition of the little worm is not the same, she has lived under the protection of Galahad before, and even less experience in dealing with these things than the turtledove, but the little worm is more intelligent, and her brain is very good.
So when encountering this situation, the worm quickly came up with an idea:
"Run!"
After speaking, the little worm grabbed the turtledove's arm, and fled in one direction without looking back, - she didn't care where it was, so she ran away.
……
The two of them ran without saying a word, quite a feeling of panic, in fact, the little worm really didn't know which direction he and the turtle dove were going to run away, but who cares, the little worm didn't really plan to run down like this, she wanted to try to understand what was chasing her and the turtle dove behind her in the process of this "big stride retreat".
Although the turtledove didn't understand the insect's intentions, she knew that the worm must have a reason for doing this, which is called trust.
The insect turned back as she ran, and she noticed that there was indeed an "invisible ghost" behind her, although it was invisible, but the other party was actually there, at least it made a "snapping" sound when it stepped on the branches, and the wind brought out when it swept over the leaves could blow the leaves.
The turtledove also noticed this, and she said to herself that since it was a substantial thing, as long as it was not a demon, she was not afraid to do anything with it.
"Don't be impulsive," the little worm saw the turtledove's eagerness to try, "It's not clear what that thing is, if you delay it for a while, maybe you can observe the other party's weaknesses and do it later." ”
This trick "procrastination" is really useful, according to the observation of the worm, she has been able to determine that the thing chasing herself and the turtledove behind, its size should not be too large, otherwise it will not be able to move quickly in the dense forest, and the opponent's skills are very agile, and the action is silent.
No wonder the people of Vulture Castle didn't fire a single shot until they died, they were attacked by such an "invisible hunter", and they could be quietly wiped out without prior warning.
The reason why the little worm was able to detect the moment the other party launched a surprise attack was due to her outstanding talent on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also due to the fact that she was always tense and nervous, and with the experience of those people in the vulture castle, it was impossible for the little worm to let herself relax a little.
Thanks to the little worm's vigilance, it would not have been as simple as adding a wound to the turtledove's arm, and one of them would probably have fallen in the first wave of the other's must-kill sneak attack, which was really just a little bit worse.
……
"Huh!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of sharp claw swings, and this time the little insect was behind her, and did not notice the sneak attack from the side, and in a hurry, she had no time to remind the turtledove again, so she had to aim the pistol in her hand at the right front and smash it out.
Hearing only the sound of "pop", the pistol that the worm threw with all his strength was blocked by something I don't know, but it gave the turtledove time to react, and he dragged the worm who was out of balance due to too much force, and turned to the other side to continue to flee for his life.
There is more than one "invisible hunter" who dares to love, they are obviously dispatched in groups, and one of them will carry out a sneak attack first, and there will be no next thing if they succeed, if they encounter a situation where they do not succeed, the sneak attack will consciously drive the prey to the ambush location of their companions, in order to succeed in the second blow.
I almost suffered a big loss, but the little worm and the turtledove have a deeper understanding of this "invisible hunter", and they have gradually figured out that this "invisible hunter" is clearly a creature with special hidden skills, and they are not ghosts and ghosts.
Now that they know this, the turtledoves are still afraid of what they are.
Back in the underground research institute, Turtledove and Bug had encountered a subspecies of the "B5" type of test subject, which is a test subject that can change its color like a chameleon, and they can blend in perfectly into their surroundings, even if you look closely, you can easily be deceived by their disguise.
Could it be that there is also a group of "B5" type test subjects with a subspecies of insidious enhancement?
Although it is not clear what these "invisible hunters" are for the time being, the turtledove and the insect have roughly grasped some information related to them, and although this information is scattered and not very accurate, it has already made the two of them have a bottom in their hearts.
At the very least, he was calmer than when he didn't know anything at first, and at the same time, he was sure that he would successfully escape from the pursuit of these "invisible hunters".
……
"W-This is?"
Running away, the worm suddenly found himself and the turtledove escaping into a strange place.
Not far ahead, there is a very open space, and everywhere you can see buildings that have been abandoned for an unknown amount of time, most of them have collapsed and become ruins, and a small part of them are barely maintaining their former appearance.
The houses and streets are faintly recognizable, except for the forest and its borders, which have long been blurred, and the ruins of the broken houses are full of weeds, as are the streets.
This is a city, a lost city deep in the jungle, a lost city.
