Chapter 8: Escape and Harvest
Although the contractors this time were not as strong as that time, they were not entangled, and they could use all their strength to deal with Lu Chen, which made Lu Chen not very comfortable.
Fortunately, Lu Chen used the B-level skill Escape Beast to escape, as a B-level skill, its strength is not questioned, especially after Lu Chen's bonus, not only can it travel underground, but its body is also extremely strong, most of the attacks of the contractor above have been resisted by it, and Lu Chen in it has not been hurt at all.
However, in this way, the speed of the Retreat Beast was slow, and the contractor was able to detect the situation underground, and they kept chasing Lu Chen's Escape Beast to escape.
In their minds, there will always be a time when Lu Chen's summoned beasts will come, as long as they keep running like this, Lu Chen will not be able to survive first, but they can attack.
This really makes it more difficult for Lu Chen to do, the reclusive beasts that travel underground have to resist the attacks of the contractors, and the speed of traveling underground is indeed not as fast as the contractors on the ground.
After all, although the speed of the reclusive beast is not fast compared to ordinary people, the contractor is not an ordinary human, they are not vegetarians, and they have such a variety of acceleration skills, which is not so easy to get rid of.
As for going underground, it is even more impossible, the depth at which the Retreat Beast can sneak is also limited, and the further down it goes, the slower the speed, the contractor's perception distance is not short, if they keep guarding it, Lu Chen will fall into passivity.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of it by relying solely on the Retreat Beast, Lu Chen could only make a move, first reinforcing the surrounding soil to hinder the attack of the Contractor on the ground against the Underground Retreat Beast.
Then he kept using the earth thorn to rely on the shock perception to attack the contractor above, and Lu Chen's earth thorn skill was still very strong. When he first attacked, he seriously injured the two of them with a surprise sneak attack, but that's all, and it took a little time for the earth thorns to take shape.
Contractors who are on guard can still get out of the way. Normally, Lu Chen's use of Earth Thorns is a combination of other skills, and it is still a bit difficult to defeat a powerful contractor with Earth Thorns alone.
Fortunately, Lu Chen had other methods, Lu Chen, who was underground, directly summoned the earth giant dog, and Lu Chen summoned the maximum number that could be summoned in one breath, sixteen, and the giant dog formed on the ground and immediately attacked the group of contractors.
Although he couldn't deal with those contractors just by relying on the giant dog, Lu Chen didn't expect that. All he had to do was keep the people above in check.
It was still easy for the thick-skinned giant dog to do such a thing, and the group of contractors could not break the giant dog with the body of dirt for a while.
Although there were also one or two contractors who could rely on their skills to forcibly break through the barrier of the Luchen Giant Dog, they did not dare to do so. Lu Chen is not so easy to deal with, and they also rely on the number of people to dare to chase Lu Chen.
If there are only one or two people, it's really hard to say who will deal with whom.
Those one or two contractors could also chase Lu Chen and entangle him. Don't let him escape. Waiting for the people behind to come up, this can be done, if they do this, it will indeed be difficult for Lu Chen to run away.
But in this way, their lives are not guaranteed, and Lu Chen, who can't escape, will not let them go, and the final result is likely to be that Lu Chen stays to fight, and they sacrifice their lives to entangle Lu Chen.
Something like that. These contractors don't want to do it, they're all a little selfish. This is not something to mock or scold them, but to have no relatives and no reason, who is willing to sacrifice themselves for others, and fight Lu Chen desperately for the sake of the so-called overall situation, they can't do such a thing, after all, this overall situation is not a big thing like a country, human beings, or even a family, it is just a small group of irrelevant people because of interests, and sacrificed their lives for such an overall situation, that is not benevolence, but stupidity.
Therefore, even if they could get out of the giant dogs summoned by Lu Chen, those contractors were unwilling to do it, and like other contractors, they attacked the giant dogs first, preparing to clean them all out, and then pursued them together.
Lu Chen took this opportunity to escape, and he was also a little lucky at this time, glad that those giant dogs were formed by the combination of darkness and earth, and they could fight the enemy on their own without control, otherwise, he would really be in some trouble.
With the involvement of the soil giant dog, Lu Chen soon ran away with the poisonous snake without a trace.
After cleaning up the group of giant dogs, the group of contractors could no longer find any trace of Lu Chen, and at this time, they had no choice but to give up the pursuit of Lu Chen at this time and return to their original location.
When he got there, Chi Lian returned to Gong Yumin's side, although Gong Yu Min hated Chi Lian to death, but now he was seriously injured, and it was all up to Chi Lian to survive in this mission world, so when he saw Chi Lian return to the team, he put on a smiling face.
"Alas, it's just the two of us now, and we have to support the mission in the future."
Gong Yumin looked at the team of only two people, and said with some sadness, this is to play the emotional card and not let Chi Lian have a little belonging.
And Chi Lian saw that Gongyumin was still alive, and her heart was very crooked, she and Gongyumin were originally a combination of interests, and they didn't have much affection.
"Damn, why didn't that black-robed man kill this waste, kill him, and I'll be much easier."
For her, the death of Gongyumin is in her best interest, and then she can receive Gongyumin's team and inherit the inheritance of the team, but now that Gongyumin is still alive, these are all in his hands, and Chi Lian can't touch it at all.
Not only that, the Gongyumin of this world is already wasted, and it would be a burden to take him with him, but Chi Lian can't give up yet, no matter what Gong Yumin says, it's because the trouble she caused has become like this, and Chi Lian can't abandon him immediately.
She didn't do that, not because she was righteous, but because there were too many contractors at this time, and it was a teamwork model, and she didn't want to leave a ruthless and ungrateful image on other contractors, which was not conducive to her actions.
After all, it's okay to do some things secretly, as long as they don't get discovered, but if you come openly, you can't.
At this time, all Chi Lian was thinking about was how to kill Gongyumin, so as to get rid of this burden and inherit his inheritance, but that was what she was secretly thinking, and on the surface, she still had to maintain her relationship with Gongyumin.
And Gong Yumin also hated Chi Lian, the culprit who made him like this, but at this time, he also needed to rely on Chi Lian, so he also put on a smiling face at Chi Lian.
The two of them longed for the person who died immediately opposite each other, but they deliberately showed their happy appearance, and others thought that the relationship between the two of them was good, but only they knew what was going on inside.
Lu Chen didn't know about this matter, Lu Chen at this time had completely distanced himself from the group of veterans, and Lu Chen was afraid that those contractors would have any special skills, so he let the Escape Beast run away before stopping.
Now that Lu Chen, who has settled down, is cleaning up the dirt, when Lu Chen summoned the Retreat Beast just now, he let the Retreat Beast swallow a large piece of soil, of course, this is not idle play, Lu Chen is looking for the Bloody Rubik's Cube there.
In addition to Gong Yumin, who was still alive in the explosion just now, the remaining three people were all able to die, and there should be three bloody Rubik's cubes in that piece of soil.
With the existence of the skill of soil control, Lu Chen cleaned up the soil very quickly, and soon found two other bloody Rubik's cubes in the blood-stained soil, and the bloody Rubik's cubes in the hands of Gong Yumin just now had been traded to Lu Chen, and Lu Chen at this time had all these Rubik's cubes in his hands.
There are a lot of good things in this kind of Rubik's cube, and Lu Chen should be happy to see them, but thinking that the plan to wipe out the contractor was destroyed, Lu Chen's heart was full of helplessness.
The appearance of the bloody Rubik's Cube this time ruined a big thing for Lu Chen, but it had happened, and Lu Chen didn't have too much remorse, at this time he was thinking about how to act, and at the same time, Lu Chen was also thinking about the task of the group of contractors.
Although he knew that the group of contractors had joined Professor X's side, Lu Chen did not know their specific mission.
He didn't dare to ask just now, and he couldn't ask, the tasks on Professor X's side were the same, and if Lu Chen asked, it would reveal that he didn't belong to Professor X's side.
Although I don't know exactly, judging from some clues and the consistent arrangement of the space, their task is simpler than Lu Chen's, they should first enter Professor X's camp and gain the trust of the plot characters of Camp X before they can start the next step.
The newcomers are guessing that it doesn't matter if they join a faction, and then follow the faction to complete the mission.
The movements of those veterans are what Lu Chen wants to know, after thinking about it, Lu Chen doesn't think that the task of those contractors will be to prevent Lu Chen from rescuing Magneto, after all, in this way, Lu Chen and them will have no room for relaxation, and they will directly see life and death.
Although the confrontational task of the space arrangement is to make the contractors kill each other, that is only the case in the final stage, and it will be a little more relaxed at the beginning.
Just like in the world of Tales of the Night, at the beginning, the contractor needs to choose a faction, and then help the camp to contribute, take on some small tasks, brush up reputation points, and finally the final battle.
This mission has just begun, and Lu Chen is confident enough to believe that the space will not let the contractor fight to the death with Lu Chen as soon as he comes up, and their task should be to join Professor X's camp and gain Professor X's trust, only to this point.
Thinking about the purpose of the group of contractors, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, however, he also had to be careful, although the space would not arrange cannibalistic tasks at the beginning, but there was no shortage of far-sighted fellows among the contractors.
Lu Chen and that group of contractors must have a battle, Lu Chen can feel it, and that group of people can also detect it, so in order to obliterate Lu Chen's threat, they will do it in advance to sabotage Lu Chen's rescue activities.
Of course, that is for the future, Lu Chen still has something to do at this time, he took out the three bloody Rubik's cubes, or those three options, Lu Chen chose the survival point, and the option of attribute points and potential points was opened. (To be continued......)
