Chapter 7: Leaving the Mine
Although he has read a lot of information on the Internet, Lu Chen has only roughly browsed it for two days, and he doesn't know much about the specific monster information.
This time Renault didn't speak, and the other contractors explained to Lu Chen.
"Rock spiders, similar to spiders, but live on rocks and other minerals, hard minerals can be instantly bitten by their sharp teeth, and the steel armor on our bodies may not be able to resist their bites, and their eight legs allow them to walk on any terrain as if they were flat and fast."
As soon as his words fell, someone next to him intersected: "If it's just like that, it's okay, they're just a little difficult to deal with, but they feed on minerals all year round, their bodies are extremely hard, ordinary gun attacks are useless for them at all, and only some artillery such as bazookas can cause damage to them." ”
"If it's on the ground, relying on tanks and artillery, it's easy to destroy them, but the problem also arises at this moment, rock spiders live underground, they don't go to the ground at all, underground, heavy firepower can't be used at all, in case the mine collapses, we will all die here, this kind of monster is the most annoying." The contractor who spoke shook his head in annoyance.
And after listening to other people's explanations, Lu Chen also knew the reason for Renault's sad face, the rock spiders may not be the most powerful, but underground, they are definitely the most difficult to deal with with with them in heavy armor.
It's just that the rock armor may be useful to others, but Lu Chen is controlled by the earth-based ability, as long as he shoots with all his strength, these rock spiders can be completely captured, and Lu Chen is hesitant now whether to show his strength.
When Lu Chen hesitated, the grumpy little girl Ji Hong suddenly patted her head, looked at Lu Chen, and asked a little angrily, "You won't be coaxing us, will you?" ”
This made Lu Chen quite speechless, although she knew that it was not good in her impression. But stirring up trouble at this time made Lu Chen a little curious, how did she survive.
Renault, who was in deep thought, was also a little unhappy: "Xiaohong, I know he doesn't have a good relationship with you, but don't say such things in the mission." ”
"Where do you think of it, I don't question it because I hate him. Rock spiders can rely on the vibration of the ground to sense the enemy, and the distance is very long, if the scorpion can detect the rock spiders, they will have come out at this moment, where will we leave time to discuss. ”
Ji Hong's words made the others react, and they all looked at Lu Chen with questioning eyes.
In this regard, Lu Chen just shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe my observation distance is even farther away." ”
These words made Ji Hong sneer: "Although I don't know your reconnaissance methods, it's underground." The detection methods will be affected somewhat, and the rock spider relies on vibration, and the distance it perceives is not what you can imagine. ”
Laughing, Lu Chen shook his head and said, "That's really a coincidence, I also rely on vibration to observe the enemy." ”
"Scorpion, are you sure the enemy is as you observed?" After a pause, Renault continued: "It's about our lives, and what we get. I hope you will be cautious. ”
Lu Chen is a newcomer after all, and Renault is a little undecided about Lu Chen's judgment.
When I first came into this world. Some of Renault's words were very helpful to Lu Chen, which made Lu Chen feel a little good, and for Renault's question, Lu Chen nodded with a good attitude: "It's OK." ”
These words made everyone silent for a while, and Renault couldn't make up his mind for a long time.
"We just went back like this, and we didn't even see the monster. There is no way to explain to that merchant, if the judgment is wrong, the compensation survival point is still secondary, the level points have dropped, and it will take us a long time to replenish them. ”
The contractor was still hesitating. The mercenaries don't want to go anymore.
"Captain, let's retreat first, if there are really more than 100 rock spiders, in the underground, we can't escape at all."
The warning of the team members made the mercenary captain hesitate, although the mercenaries are not as meticulous in the execution of orders as the soldiers, but the mercenary team also needs to be credible, if they make a mistake this time, it will be difficult for them to mix in the mercenary world in the future.
After all, running away without seeing the enemy is too embarrassing, and if you go, the end of the regiment will not dare to try it easily.
He wanted to see what the contractor had decided before making a decision.
Seeing that the captain was a little hesitant, the deputy head behind him stepped up his persuasion; "Captain, those contractors are strong, even if they encounter rock spiders, they can escape if they can't beat them, but we don't have their speed, and if we stay, we will die."
These words made the mercenary captain tremble in his heart, indeed, Renault and the others had the intention of going, and they also knew that the danger was not great, and they could withdraw at any time, but they could launch it, which did not mean that these mercenaries could be safe and sound.
And thinking of what the contractors have been doing, the mercenary captain doesn't think that these ruthless contractors will protect them to the death, and even let them fight the rock spiders in the back and escape first.
This may not be impossible, but there is a half chance that it will happen, as long as what the black-robed contractor said is true, and continue to move forward, the chance of all mercenaries being killed is more than fifty percent.
After calculating this, the mercenary captain did not hesitate, and immediately stepped forward and hugged his fists: "I'm sorry, there is a rock spider in front, this is not something we can deal with, go out and let the others in." ”
Money, no matter how important the reputation of mercenaries is, it is still not as precious as life, although the mercenary industry is dangerous, but they will not carry out mortal tasks, when they come in, the task publisher has already said that they can only be regarded as assistance, and it depends on those contractors.
Moreover, this time can also be counted as a reconnaissance mission, and the enemy cannot be destroyed, as long as the enemy's situation can be detected, it can be regarded as a completed mission.
The only doubt now is whether the information detected by Lu Chen is accurate, but if they want to confirm it, they will use the names of the entire group to investigate, and they dare not do it.
The mercenaries wanted to retreat, but Renault also wanted to stay: "In case the scorpion detection is wrong, your losses will be great, don't think about it again." ”
"Forget it, we're too weak to stay here to help, so let's go and wait for you outside. If you want to explore, we will give you all the gains from this mission, and we will not take a penny. With that, the mercenary captain withdrew with his men.
Seeing that all the more than 100 mercenaries left, the remaining contractors looked at each other a little.
At last. Ji Hong glared at Lu Chen fiercely, and said angrily: "It's all your good deeds." ”
This made Lu Chen very speechless, he didn't expect the prestige of the rock spider to be so great, he hadn't seen the enemy yet, and when he heard the name, they all ran away.
Seeing that Lu Chen was a little incredible, the contractor next to him explained.
"Rock spiders aren't very strong, if you can lure them to the ground, use tanks and planes. It's easy to destroy them all, but they also know their weaknesses and won't easily leave the underground, which is their home turf, and the advantage is too great, fighting them underground is like fighting a shark in the water, and you can't use high-powered weapons. ”
"Of course. Even so, it's simple to deal with them. There are a lot of powerful weapons in this world that can destroy all the rock spiders underground, but then the underground mines can't be excavated, and I don't think the person in charge of this mining area will do that. This time it was Renault who opened his mouth.
By the time the other contractors explained to Lu Chen, Renault had already recovered from the situation just now.
glanced at Lu Chen. Renault seemed to let go, and continued: "It's good to detect the enemy in advance, go back and take the news to the person in charge of the mining area, we can't deal with it, there are many strong people among the contractors." He's going to keep looking for people to come over and deal with the spiders down there, and we can come down with the people he has found, so we'll get two harvests, which isn't bad. ”
Just saying this, Renault paused: "But we still have to go to investigate, it's not that we don't believe you, but this matter is related to our credibility, we can't rush things, of course, if you don't want to go, you can also go, if the probe is as you said, this harvest will be all for you, but if it is different from what you said, you won't get anything." ”
In this regard, Lu Chen nodded and agreed: "Okay, you guys go down." ”
Lu Chen had no intention of going down at all, and Lu Chen was very sure of his judgment.
Seeing the five of them cautiously moving towards the bottom, Lu Chen did not hesitate and returned directly, although in this way, the relationship with those five people was a little stiff, but Lu Chen didn't care, he just entered this team to see how the mission of this world was.
Lu Chen may recruit subordinates in this world, but he didn't think about entering the team, even if he entered some powerful teams, Renault and them were not qualified, so Lu Chen didn't need to curry favor with them at all.
When they came, because they needed to move forward cautiously and guard against the attack of monsters, Lu Chen's team was moving very slowly, but when they went back, they didn't have so many worries.
A giant dog was summoned, and Lu Chen rode it and ran out quickly.
Just a moment later, Lu Chen saw the retreating mercenaries halfway through.
Feeling that there was movement behind them, they were still a little wary, and they were relieved to see that it was Lu Chen riding the giant dog forward, but looking at the giant dog that Lu Chen was riding, they were all a little shocked.
"Scorpion, meet again, is this the superpower of your contractor, such a monster is already about to catch up with the rock spider." Glancing enviously at the giant dog that Lu Chen was riding, the mercenary captain approached Lu Chen's side.
Looking at the speed at which they were advancing, Lu Chen frowned: "If I were you, then push out this mine quickly, the others have already gone to investigate the situation of the rock spiders, if nothing else, those spiders will be attracted soon." ”
When he saw the mercenaries, Lu Chen didn't leave immediately, but stopped and reminded them a few words.
This startled the mercenary captain, who immediately turned to the others and said, "Full speed ahead, get out of here." ”
Seeing them running in front, Lu Chen did not shake them off, but rode a giant dog to follow the mercenary captain and follow him forward.
Lu Chen had said before that he didn't need his teammates, because his teammates were a little troublesome to deal with, but he needed his subordinates.
Teammates and Lu Chen have an equal relationship, they can question Lu Chen's decision, and Lu Chen can't hurt the interests of others.
But his subordinates don't have so many worries, people who can become high-level contractors are a little arrogant, unless they are cultivated from the beginning like a poisonous snake, otherwise, Lu Chen feels that he can't find a contractor as his subordinates, at least not the current Lu Chen.
The contractor can't do it, so Lu Chen set his sights on the mercenaries in this world.
If it was possible, Lu Chen didn't mind taking a few of his subordinates and fighting them.
It is a waste of time to have to go out on her own for everything, at this time Lu Chen misses the poisonous snake a little, if she is here, going out to collect information, buying something, and contacting the tasker, she doesn't need Lu Chen to come forward, and the poisonous snake can help Lu Chen handle it properly.
Now that the poisonous snake didn't know if it could come up, Lu Chen hit the idea on these mercenaries.
Subduing his subordinates, Lu Chen felt that as long as he gave both grace and power, supplemented by benefits, it would be fine.
Now Lu Chen hopes that the contractor below can lead the rock spider up, and then Lu Chen will block it and save this group of mercenaries, which can completely show strength and kindness.
Even Lu Chen had the idea of taking the initiative to disturb the rock spider, but Lu Chen also knew that the contractor below was already very close, and it was too late to go now.
However, Lu Chen still didn't give up, as he said, the contractor went in to investigate, and they would definitely lure all the spiders out, Lu Chen could only hope that they would speed up and not be rubbing.
During the run, Lu Chen also kept paying attention to the following, but after three or five minutes, the mercenaries had already gone up a high distance, and there was movement below.
Renault and the others also worried about the mercenaries, and waited until they were far away before they started to investigate, which made Lu Chen quite helpless.
Two minutes after sensing the movement with vibration, even without sensing the vibration, Lu Chen could detect that the contractor was desperately approaching.
Not only Lu Chen could detect it, but the mercenaries who were moving at full speed could also detect it, which made them run a little faster.
Soon, the contractor caught up with Lu Chen, and at this time, Lu Chen could already hear the sound of "boom" coming from behind, which was the sound of monsters walking.
When they came to the contractors and mercenaries, Renault and the others slowed down and kept moving forward at the same speed as Lu Chen.
"You're right, there's a rock spider's nest down there." It was Ji Hong who spoke, she looked a little embarrassed at this time, and before she could touch the underground lair, the rock spider found them and attacked them. (To be continued.) )
