Chapter 24: It's as simple as that
The Dead Water Salt Lake is a place that many mercenaries like to come to, it has a large area and many low-level mutants, and the Steel Shell Mutant is just one of them.
On the way, Hong Yi carefully avoided the other mercenaries, and he didn't want anyone to know about the existence of the smoke fart, because it involved his biggest secret.
Finding a remote place to hide the car, Hong Yi began to wander around with a cigarette fart, and soon found many mercenaries attacking the lone steel-shelled mutant along the road.
It's just that in most cases, the mercenaries have nothing to achieve.
They kept firing, but the bullet hit the steel-hulled mutant and was directly bounced off, and the less powerful bullet couldn't even leave a trace, let alone hurt the steel-hulled mutant.
And the creature of the steel-shelled mutant, Hong Yi is also the first time to see it, it is indeed very similar to a giant crab, but the shape is more sleek, and the carapace on the body is also smoother, this carapace is covered all over their bodies, including the limbs, and from a distance, it is simply a small fortress that can move freely.
Hong Yi asked the adjutant to retrieve the information of the steel shell mutant, most of this mutant is only the first level of the white star, and occasionally there is the second level of the white star, they have super defense, and the price on the body is the preferred material for making various armor, interestingly, their shells have several colors, and in the market, the price of different colors is not the same.
Variegated colors are the most common, but also the most common, solid colors, from rock gray, to pearl white, and alloy silver, the price is constantly rising, and the most precious, even the gold-colored carapace.
Steel-hull variants of this color are extremely rare, which is why in wealthy areas, golden steel-hull armor is considered a luxury item and extremely expensive.
However, the golden-yellow steel-shell mutant hasn't appeared for a few years, and even the silver one is rare, just like the steel-shell mutant who was besieged by several mercenaries in front of him at this moment, it is an ordinary variegated variegated variegation.
At this moment, Hong Yi watched from a distance as a five-person mercenary team was dealing with a variegated steel-shelled mutant.
"Quick, attack this guy's limbs, don't let it run around!" One of the mercenaries shouted as he opened fire, but it was clearly ineffective.
The five mercenaries were all using high-powered rifles, but the dense bullets couldn't penetrate the shell of the steel-hulled mutant, and the bullets clanged and bounced off, as if they were holding a toy gun.
One of the mercenaries was in a hurry, took out two grenades and threw them out, and heard two loud bangs, and his hand exploded, producing a huge impact and armor-piercing fragments.
Hong Yi knew that these two grenades were armor-piercing high-explosive grenades, which could be exploded even by small armored vehicles, but after the explosion, the steel-shelled mutant was unharmed.
The mercenary's attack on it had almost no effect, but the steel-shelled mutant could move quickly, taking advantage of the smoke and dust generated by the grenade explosion, it turned out to be a powerful forelimb to attack the mercenary, a mercenary couldn't dodge, was caught by the steel tongs, and was directly strangled into two pieces, and died tragically on the spot, the next moment the steel-shelled mutant rushed to the car of the five mercenaries on the side, and smashed it into a pile of scrap metal with its powerful forelimbs.
In the end, the remaining four mercenaries ran out of ammunition and could only flee in panic for their lives.
Seeing this, Hong Yi knew how strong the steel shell mutant was, relying on strong defense, ordinary mercenaries had nothing to do with it, but compared to strong defense, its attack ability was very average, although the strength was great, but the speed was too slow.
Hong Yi waited for the four mercenaries to leave, and then slowly approached with the smoke fart.
At this moment, the victorious steel-shelled mutant was devouring the corpse of the dead mercenary, ignoring Hong Yi's approach, it was obvious that it had long been accustomed to the approach of those mercenaries with bad intentions, and because it had a shell that could withstand all bullets, it didn't need to be on guard at all.
It wasn't until the smoke fart approached that the steel-shelled mutant raised its head violently, shrunk its body, and made a defensive posture, obviously still very afraid of the smoke fart, a white star second-level mutant.
Hong Yi shoots at the weak spot, and finds a thing that makes people speechless.
The steel-hull variant turned out to have no weaknesses.
This kind of thing is the first time Hong Yi has encountered it, there is no weakness, and the weak point shooting naturally cannot be started, but Hong Yi knows that it is impossible for the other party to have no weakness, and the reason why it cannot be discovered is because its weakness is hidden, or hidden under the carapace.
"Smokefart, attack!"
Hong Yi gave an order, since he couldn't use the weak point to shoot, then he could only come hard, Hong Yi felt that the smoke fart of the second level of the white star was more powerful than the steel shell mutant who only had the first level of the white star.
And that's exactly what happened.
Smoke Fart received the order, hissed and rushed forward, raising his hand to be a powerful claw strike.
The claws that could easily shatter the rock slapped on the carapace of the steel-hulled hunter, and the latter was directly beaten and flew more than three meters away, and its eight legs made traces on the ground, which showed how strong the power of the smoke fart was.
And on the carapace of the steel-hulled hunter, there are also claw marks of smoke fart.
When Hong Yi saw this, he knew that the steel-shell mutant was not the opponent of Yanfart, but Yanfart's all-out blow could only leave a claw mark on the steel-shell mutant, which already showed that the steel-shell mutant was not simple.
Next, the smoke fart continued to attack, and its level advantage of the second level of the white star was fully revealed, and it was also completely dominant in strength and speed, but Hong Yi also saw that although the smoke fart had an absolute advantage, it was impossible to win in a short period of time because the defense ability of the steel shell mutant was too strong.
Not only that, but the claws of the smoke fart cut claw marks on the shell of the steel shell mutant, which is not a good thing, and even if the steel shell mutant is hunted at that time, its value will be greatly reduced by too many shell scratches.
During the whole process, Hong Yi watched from the sidelines, constantly shooting and scanning the steel shell mutant with his weak point, and at this moment, the steel shell mutant suddenly pounced on it and wanted to attack the smoke fart, Hong Yi suddenly discovered the opponent's weakness.
"When the opponent attacks, the body will be raised, and there is an area in its abdomen that will have a weakness when attacking!" Hong Yi was extremely excited when he saw the flashing points of light in his field of vision.
This was an unexpected discovery, but the weakness of the Steel-Shell Mutant was only revealed in the moments before it attacked, which meant that if you wanted to attack its weakness, you had to be quick and seize that momentary opportunity.
Hong Yi's heart moved, and he raised his hand to call the cigarette fart back, and then Hong Yi rushed over with a rifle.
Apparently he was planning to do it himself with the steel-hulled hunter.
This steel-hulled hunter was obviously also enraged, and when he saw Hong Yi rushing over, he also crawled over waving two huge pliers, and when there were still two or three meters away, it stretched out its pliers and clamped over.
If it is an ordinary person's reflex nerve, it will definitely be strangled before it has time to react, but Hong Yi is already a first-level evolutionary of the white star, and his real strength has reached the second level of the white star, plus the dodge skill, so this lightning-fast blow Hong Yi easily dodged, just after the blow, the steel shell mutant immediately attacked violently, the double pincers kept waving, Hong Yi dodged left and right, although it seemed dangerous, but it actually avoided all the attacks of the steel shell mutant.
The next moment, the steel-shelled mutant continued to attack, and just raised his body to prepare for a fierce attack, Hong Yi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his gun to shoot.
Three gunshots were heard, and Hong Yi fired a triple shot, all hitting the same location, which was the only weak point of the steel-hulled mutant.
I saw a purple blood flower burst out in the center of the abdomen of the steel-shell mutant, and at the same time, a scream that was enough to puncture the eardrum sounded, the steel-shelled mutant was already unstable, staggering, maybe knowing that it was going to be finished, it began to try to escape, but just climbed out more than ten meters away, it convulsed, collapsed to the ground, and did not move.
"Kill a Steel-Shell Mutant and gain 2 XP."
It worked?
Hong Yi himself was also stunned, and secretly said that this is too simple, you must know that this steel-shelled mutant easily defeated a five-person mercenary team, and killed one person, and he was able to remain undefeated against the smoke fart of the second level of the White Star before, such a difficult guy actually died in his own hands, and only used three bullets, it is really a bit incredible.
This steel-shelled mutant was the size of half a car, and Hong Yi lifted his head hard, but he could only barely lift a little, and the weight alone was afraid that it had reached a ton.
This thing can't be unraveled, so it can only be pulled back in its entirety, that is, even if there is a car, the average car can only pull back at most one at a time.
However, after checking it, Hong Yi gave up on this one, because the shell of this steel-shelled mutant was full of scratches and was badly damaged, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to meet the mission requirements.
Now that he knows how to hunt the steel shell mutant, Hong Yi must get a complete shell.
So Hong Yi continued to search, and after a while, he found another one, with the experience of the last time, this time Hong Yi shot it smoothly, and the shell of this steel shell mutant can be said to be intact.
The task was completed, Hong Yi didn't want to waste time, and drove over to drag the body of the steel-hull mutant to the back of the pickup truck. This is also to blame Hong Yi, he took this task in a casual mentality, and he didn't think about it that much at all, after all, now for Hong Yi, it is important to obtain a lot of experience points.
Hong Yi let the smoke fart follow him from a distance, and then drove away.
And not long after Hong Yi left, another mercenary team came to this area.
This mercenary squad was obviously a bit more powerful, with two vehicles, and a trailer pulled behind one of the trucks, apparently carrying large prey.
There were ten of them, and when they arrived, they first dug a trap around a low-lying terrain, just enough to fall into the kind of steel-hull mutants, covered them with soft cloths and sprinkled with camouflage, and then searched for the steel-hull mutants.
