Volume II, Chapter 18: Deliverance and Split (Gambit)
The feeling of life and death drove Chopping Bo to raise his head, and he was facing a figure that only existed in hell and nightmares: a smooth and narrow head, a craggy bone armor, and the slender body of Mori Hei was lying in a vent close to Chopbo, a long whip-like tail folded over the top of the monster's head, hanging between the two top hunters, and there was a long knife-like bone blade at the end of the tail, and one or two strands of stinging cold light flashed on the front from time to time. The stone wall immediately exploded with a scar like a knife and an axe...... It's, Alien!
In the small eyes under the slashing armor, a dangerous light suddenly flashed!
In its field of vision, there are countless blurred patterns that are rapidly switching, and the observation patterns of the visor are constantly changing—for cold-blooded creatures like aliens, the Predator's conventional thermal imaging technology will not only make them as insightful as they would when facing humans, but will put them in an embarrassing position of being unable to see.
"Huh!"
The switch of vision was completed almost instantly, and when the pattern stabilized again, what appeared in front of Chopping Wave was a slightly greenish shimmering vision, and it was equally clear, as well as the blood basin mouth that was constantly dripping viscous saliva and was already approaching the front of its face! Even, through the chaotic fangs and sharp teeth, Chopping could see the internal mouthparts that had begun to surge in the alien's mouth!
The next moment is the clash of life and death!
The terrifying hardness of diamonds, the sheer power of natural hydraulic drive, and the perverted speed of a bullet that is almost equal to the speed at which a bullet is discharged...... This qiē element constitutes the lore method that the alien relies on to become famous - the inner mouthpiece!
It is no exaggeration to say that under the inner mouthparts that erupted from the alien face-to-face, the Predator's proud alloy mask armor technology is not much stronger than paper paste at all!
(Can't let it squirt!) )
(Now is the time!) )
"Roar!"
Two hoarse roars erupted from Chopping Bo and Lu Ren's mouths almost at the same time, and at the same time, there was also the "hiss" sound of the alien that was like a poisonous snake! In the next second, the terrible cold light, the miserable white arms, and the dark limbs danced in the viscous darkness together, and the chaotic colors turned into a montage-like phantom at this moment, instantly stinging the eyes of every onlooker!
"Bang!"
The two demon-like figures parted at the touch of a button, and fell heavily to the ground, and at the same time, there were two miserable white arms! Immediately afterward, emerald green and decaying green blood gushed like a spring, spraying on the surrounding stone walls, and the glowing green light reflected the corroded honeycomb rocks, which had a different kind of strangeness in the deep darkness like a prison......
"Wow!"
A mouthful of hot blood suddenly sprayed directly to the ground from a corner of the tomb, and then, Lu Ren's crumbling figure reappeared, at this time, the stone hat had been taken off by him and held it in his hand, his pale face was directly exposed in front of everyone, and the corners of his mouth were still bright red bloodstains, obviously the previous curse that hit the two strong men at the same time made him also suffer quite a serious injury.
The scene was dead silent, what had just happened was tedious, but when it really happened, it was just a moment of lightning, so except for the three parties involved, almost no one else saw what was going on, only saw Chop and Alien collide, during which Lu Ren's ability flashed away, and when Yi Qiē stood still, Lu Ren appeared, Chop Bo silently got up from the ground, a terrifying crack was revealed on the mask on his forehead, and even the skin and flesh inside were stirred into emerald green flesh puree, But the skull was clearly uninjured; However, the sneak attack alien fell to the ground, and from time to time it twitched once or twice, and thick acidic blood continued to pour out from under its body, eroding on the floor, constantly making a "snort" sound, and also rising patches of steaming white smoke......
"Roar!"
Seeing Lu Ren appear, Celtic howled almost instinctively, and his thick right leg stepped forward, and two sharp wrist blades had already bounced out of his forearm, judging by its meaning, it was to take the opportunity to divide Lu Ren, the biggest threat, into corpses here! Unexpectedly, just before Celtic left, Chopping Bo had already taken the first step in front of it, and Chopping Bo's body staggered a little when he took a step, obviously the previous staggering, although Lu Ren's cursed arm against it mainly played a rescue role in pulling it away, but it was not completely unaffected on its body, but even so, it was still firmly blocked between Celt and Lu Ren, and its burly body was like a burly mountain, blocking Celtic's way......
(Seemingly...... It worked...... It's really dangerous, but I finally let Lao Tzu escape...... )
Lu Ren silently looked at the roaring Celtic and Chopping Waves, but there was a trace of joy spreading in his heart, if he had to take a risk to appear before, at this time, he already had seven points of certainty in his heart about the alliance with iron and blood.
On the other side, Scar finally cut the cobwebs wrapped around his body, but this guy, who also has a high degree of intelligence, instead of taking the opportunity to sneak up on everyone, but after listening to the quarrel between Celtic and Chopper for a while, he glanced at Lu Ren thoughtfully, and then strode up and helped Lan Xiaoqian cut the hunting web on his body. Suddenly he roared even louder.
Lu Ren listened indifferently to the quarrel between the three Predators for a while, and felt that there should be no result in the quarrel for a while, so he leaned against the wall, stumbled to the entrance of the cave not far from the alien shape, and coldly stretched out his palm......
The slender palm of the hand crosses a striking arc in the dark night, and then, clenched tightly!
"Poof!"
With a muffled sound, with Lu Ren's grasp, a wave of surging blood suddenly erupted from the wound of the skull that had been pierced by the xenomorph before, and it looked like it was being struck by a hand in the wound.
At the same time as this alien finally took a breath, Lu Ren's ears also sounded with a continuous main god prompt:
"Kill an alien and get 500 bonus points."
"Kill key story characters, and the subsequent plot changes dramatically. Obtain 2 C-level side story rewards, with 2,000 bonus points. ”
"The plot may change unpredictably, please proceed with caution."
Lu Ren was happy in his heart, in fact, at this time, his own physical condition was also very bad, just in the battle just now, he discovered another hidden flaw of the curse, that is, once the strength of the target is too much higher than his own, then it is almost certain to be hurt by the backlash, and unlike the backlash of the curse itself, this backlash is directly acting on the user's body, so no matter how strong your mind is, it is inevitable that you will be injured. But...... Gain as much as you lose!
Lu Ren was injured this time, and the reward was equally rich!
Not to mention reconciling with the Predator, just killing this alien has already made it a lot of money! You know, the alien who just died in his hands, in the movie, but the alien side is a well-deserved protagonist, both force and intelligence are second to none in all aliens, according to the direction of the original plot, not only Celtic and Chopping Bo died under its steel teeth and claws, even the queen was finally released, but also its first merit was counted, at this time, Lu Ren took this hand, it can be said that he saved the lives of two Predators at the same time, and also greatly delayed the time for the queen to escape, and the magnitude of changing the plot is really not too big! Give Lu Ren a double C-level side plot, I'm afraid it's already a reward after shrinking the chopping wave!
(But...... It seems that there is a guy who has been rescued and still doesn't appreciate it? )
Squinting his eyes at Celtic, who was still angry, Lu Ren sighed helplessly, no wonder, the so-called "salvation" happened in the changed future, but the hatred between the two is really in the present, in this case, where will Celt receive his love? On the contrary, watching the two brothers and quasi-subordinates quarrel with him over a few lowly humans, the anger in his heart will only grow a little more!
"I think we need to talk about ......"
After a successful move and catching the seriously injured alien, Lu Ren swept his gaze to the iron-blooded trio in the quarrel, and he said lightly, "If I can, I want to join forces with you, after all, we have a common enemy......
Then, his words were interrupted by a roar from Celt burning with fiery rage!
"Roar!"
Obviously, if the previous help made Chopper a dove inclined to humans, and Scar was a neutral, then this Celtic is an out-and-out hawk!
Seeing Celtic's reaction, Lu Ren couldn't help frowning, "Speaking of people, I know you will ......"
Lu Ren clearly remembered that even the flower crab in Predator II had the ability to imitate human language and speak, and he didn't believe that the three guys in front of him could only roar like beasts.
He was answered by an even more angry rant from Celtic. Obviously, this guy is not willing or disdainful to converse in human language at all. After a second of silence, Scar's voice rang out, "You see, that's what we've been arguing about...... I think it will take a little bit of time to get results......"
This is the first time Lu Ren has heard this iron-blooded protagonist speak, but I have to say that its voice, just like its appearance, is full of domineering, dull, hoarse, even if it speaks well, it is full of ferocious beast-like evil, and after the megaphone on the Tongguò mask is emanated, every word and every sentence of it is smeared with a sonorous metal color, but now, in its domineering voice, there is a faint trace of bitter helplessness.
It is clear that the Celtic stubbornness exceeded their expectations.
However, the more stubbornly Celtic wanted to be the enemy of humans, the more stable Lu Ren's heart became. He was not naïve enough to think that with only one help, he would get the full support of the three Predators, if that was the case, he would not dare to join forces with the Predators, after all, according to the urine nature of the main god, how much he gained would be lost, and if the three Predators really joined his team, then it would be tantamount to implying: the road ahead will be difficult, so difficult that you can't imagine...... At that time, Lu Ren was almost certain that there would definitely be more than one queen in front of him, but it was likely that there would be as many as seventy, eighty or ninety, and maybe the reward would only be the price of one head!
That's why I really can't cry if I want to!
(It seems that the division of the Predators is already the general trend...... )
Lu Ren thought secretly in his heart.
To make such a judgment, it doesn't actually take much advanced wisdom, as I have said before, Lu Ren understands the plot, but he doesn't know every plot character, and vice versa, he doesn't need to understand the character of every Predator, because in the plot setting, the Predator clan is a race that values glory more than a qiē, and the "one qiē" here also includes friendship, and to shoot at the benefactor who just saved him, this kind of thing, no matter which race's values, They are undoubtedly the least honorable.
It's a pity that Celtic's hatred for Lu Ren and others is irresolvable, and at this time, parting ways naturally becomes the best choice. Just like the martyr who would rather watch his family being killed than reveal the slightest bit of information during the Anti-Japanese War, you can't say that he is right or wrong, but this is a true belief.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that this three-person team was put together improvised.
Sure enough, after a short quarrel, Scar once again acted as a microphone, it turned its head to look at Lu Ren, and there was a touch of sadness in its eyes under the mask,
"He wants your shoulder cannon, and then we'll go our separate ways......"
Hearing this request, Lu Ren just groaned slightly, and then gestured to Alyssa, who was carrying a shoulder cannon,
"Give it to you."
The shoulder cannon is such a big killing weapon, it can't be used to arm his own forces right away, to be honest, Lu Ren is still quite unwilling in his heart, but considering that the shoulder cannon still has a chance to start, and the opportunity to join the Iron and Blood Alliance is unique, so in the end he still nodded.
Alyssa was silent, but a pair of beautiful eyes looked in the direction of Weiland, she didn't know that the person in charge of this team had become Lu Ren, she just looked at Weiland, hoping that he would come to make a decision for the most precious harvest obtained from this expedition.
"Hmm."
Wei Land and Lu Ren glanced at each other, nodded, and repeated, "Give it." ”
Then, with a cacophony of rubbing, the brass-colored shoulder cannon was pushed in front of Celtic......
[Huh, you suddenly ran from 170 to 30 on the list? Okay, the 4,000-word gift package is presented, everyone help me work harder, and rush forward a little more, not far away, one person pulls a few friends over to read books, collect, and vote...... We'll win]
