Chapter 283: Self-Detonating Hound
The combat power of these props themselves is limited, and their functions are often relatively simple, but they are a very good auxiliary means for Zhou Lu. There are a few props that are obviously more functional and more powerful, but because they are not very convenient, they were handed over by Zhou Lu to Herelli and Qin Yue-
Helleri works hard enough, but she is a priest who is not strong in combat, and she does not have a deep understanding of the combat skills she casts, so she basically uses the 'Sword of the Silver Moon' in battle. Although the 'Silver Moon Sword' is convenient, the effect is very average, and at this time, it is not enough. Zhou Lu originally wanted to give her some stronger props to help her fight, but Herelli seemed to be naturally not very good at this, and after the number of props on hand increased, she became even more helpless; On the contrary, Qin Yue got a few main battle props and became familiar with them very quickly, and immediately put them into the actual battle.
In this way, the group went all the way forward and killed the past, the monsters and enemies encountered on the road turned into ashes in the staggered energy and artillery fire, and the number of monsters in the 'Spirit Domain' also began to decrease at an alarming rate, because of the more and more familiar combat cooperation, Qin Yue even made an assertion that the battle would end in half a day.
However, this shunl lì did not last forever. Soon, some new troubles arrived.
After coming to a bus stop and eliminating a few flesh golems, a winged wolf-like creature suddenly appeared among the tall buildings. This creature is also introduced on the communicator, and it is a flying creature of three-level strength; The crowd did not dare to be careless, and began to prepare for the battle. This creature is very powerful, and its defense is not weak. But because the speed is slow. After being hit in the face by Zhou Lu's 'Nebula Typhoon'. Inevitably, he was defeated by everyone. However, just before Zhou Lu was about to give it the final blow, the monster suddenly opened its mouth and roared in a strange voice.
"Oops, do it!"
Qin Yue was shocked, and immediately raised his gun, breaking the monster's throat with one shot. The monster struggled for a moment, and soon fell; However, there were several other beast roars around him, and he didn't wait for Zhou Lu to react. Some other monster appeared around the corner and rushed towards it.
"This is another lord's subordinate 'Leilia', he is the weakest of all the lords, so many of the monsters under his command still retain some basic sanity." Qin Yue said, "Although these monsters are not very powerful, they can summon other companions nearby through guò instinct, and we are in big trouble......"
"What's going on?" The captain of the combatant next to him asked, "Will this monster summon other monsters?" ”
"It's limited to the other monsters under this lord, but it's troublesome enough." Qin Yue immediately said, "Retreat quickly!" ”
Suddenly, I ran into such trouble. The crowd began to retreat. Monsters surged from all directions, and even on the way back, enemies appeared. The strength of these monsters can only be regarded as average. If it's just a single monster, or even a small group of enemies, it's not a problem for this team; However, the number of enemies has increased dramatically, and it is very difficult to deal with.
Halfway through the retreat, a group of black mist wildebeest rushed from the corner of the street; These monsters were menacing, and everyone was forced to fly into the sky with the sword of the silver moon to transfer, but they were sniped by three black mist goshawks. In desperation, everyone had to settle down on the roof of a building.
Several self-detonating hounds jumped from the next building, only to be shot in mid-air. These thermal weapons brought by Qin Yue had the function of automatic aiming in a small area, which was just right for these ordinary people who were not very trained. After shooting a few more bird monsters wrapped in black mist, a group of black mist lizardmen with spears and shields climbed up from the outer wall of the building. These enemies are tricky to deal with, as guns must have a field of sight, but if you lean out to attack these monsters clinging to the walls, you will be exposed to the range of the Cultists armed with bows and arrows below.
After some deliberation, the people on the roof gave up defending the wall; However, the attack of these lizard soldiers did not go much further. Climbing to the edge of the roof, many lizards were hit by a huge force and fell from mid-air before they could figure out what was happening. Zhou Lu has a magnetic control prop from the sci-fi world, which was handed over to Qin Yue in the battle just now, and at this time, Qin Yue was using this prop to control an iron ball and smash some approaching lizardmen around the roof of the building. Even if there are some fish that slip through the net, they are all killed by others as soon as they show their heads.
The battle intensified, and the wounded began to appear in the squad. A self-destructing hound jumped up out of nowhere and exploded through the crowd; Two members of the execution team were injured and had to temporarily withdraw from the battle. Zhou Lu was helping Herelli treat two team members when suddenly there was chaos behind her; Hurriedly turned his head, only to see several more self-detonating hounds rushing to the roof of the building, rushing towards everyone like lightning.
In the crisis, Zhou Lu summoned two chains and stopped a few fish that had slipped through the net on the edge of the roof, buying time for others to react. A few lasers flashed, and the self-detonating hounds were shot on the spot, turning into black mist and disappearing.
After the crisis was resolved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief; The attackers were all from the 'Leiria' lord's men, and because of their low-level intelligence, these puppet monsters rushed over in a swarm after hearing the cry for help from the flying wolf just now, causing a lot of trouble for everyone. However, at the cost of this, their strength is a little weaker than that of ordinary monsters. After the initial onslaught, the situation gradually stabilized. However, the attacks of these self-detonating hounds did not stop.
Qin Yue had just raised his gun, and with a few shots, he repelled a black mist giant eagle that swept down from mid-air, and another self-detonating hound rushed up to the side of the building. Looking at these guys, Qin Yue couldn't help but frown with a little headache; After reluctantly dealing with it, he complained: "Why can't these guys be killed?" It's as nasty as flies. ”
Hearing Qin Yue's words, the others also began to echo them. Compared to other monsters, this self-destructing hound is much more dangerous; Not only is the explosion extremely powerful, but it is also very fast, and if you are not careful, you will be close to them. But in the midst of such a voice, Hereili, who had just healed several injured people, came to Qin Yue's side and said solemnly:
"These hounds...... I don't think they're ordinary monsters. ”
"Not an ordinary monster?"
"The traces of magic on these monsters don't look like ordinary monsters."
Hearing her words, Qin Yue was also a little curious. "What does that look like? Be aware that these self-destructing hounds are likely from some other world colonized by cultists, and may not operate in the magical way of your world. ”
"I'm pretty sure they should come from our world as well." Hallow was convinced, "In addition to elemental creatures, many types of magical beasts have summons to assist in combat. Maybe these guys aren't monsters at all, they're just summons summoned by monsters. ”
"You mean...... Is someone hiding behind their backs to summon these hounds to attack? ”
"Hmm." Herelli nodded, "From the moment we entered the city, there were these hounds attacking us; But the frequency of their appearance has not changed - five at a time, both as we advance and as we draw a large number of enemies into attack. ”
"Is there such a thing......
Herelli's performance in combat has always been not very good, when there are few people, she is clumsy and often goes wrong by herself, and when there are many people, she is completely reduced to the background, even with the equipment that Zhou Lu gave him, her appearance in this battle is also ordinary. Aside from treatment, there is rarely anything that can be done. But this time, her words surprised everyone.
Because of the inability to intervene in the fight, Herelli noticed some details that had not been noticed by the others. Whether it's the scattered monsters you encounter when you first start fighting steadily, or the sudden arrival of a large number of enemy troops after stabbing a hornet's nest later; The frequency of these self-detonating hounds has not changed from beginning to end. Because of this discovery, Herelli deduced that these monsters were most likely summoned beasts summoned by a French unit. Hearing this, the others looked at this weak little priest with admiration, but Zhou Lu happily hugged Herery's neck: "Herery, you are amazing!" ”
Herelli blushed a little, but she was obviously not averse to such a compliment. "Actually, I'm not sure...... And I'm not sure if the enemy is a human or a monster. ”
On the other side, Qin Yue organized the next move. "In that case, let's send a few people to attack these spellcasting units."
"What to do?"
"Let's go over there." Qin Yue pointed to a square in front of him, "We can set up positions there to block the path of the enemy's large forces." Then I'll take someone to the rear and see if I can get rid of that spellcasting unit. ”
Nominally Zhou Lu's subordinate, but since the start of the war, Qin Yue has immediately become the de facto leader of this team. Zhou Lu knows his own catties, although there is no problem in fighting now, while gradually becoming familiar with the power of magical girls, his own strength is even above Qin Yue; But for the organization of the battle, Zhou Lu still tacitly handed it over to the more experienced Qin Yue. Before this, he had not opposed Qin Yue's plan. But at this time, Zhou Lu still raised a different opinion-
"Let me go." (To be continued......)
