Chapter 571: The Old Man Luo Zhiqing
The most embarrassing thing now is that their 8-person squad may have no problem dealing with all kinds of battles, but when it comes to real research, it won't be enough.
In this situation like now, even Miao Pu has a kind of depression that he doesn't know how to start. And without even a clear set goal, it is not his style to rely on the idea of "the boat to the bridge is naturally straight".
"It's definitely not okay to act rashly, and I don't think it's too much to spend half an hour planning for the next ten or even dozens of hours of action when you have no clue."
Jiang Shangqing said these words after understanding Miao Pu's expression, and these words were unanimously recognized by everyone. Of course, it is not without doubts, Zhou Shuai proposed that those monsters in the tunnel will not let them plan here safely, maybe it will be a few minutes before they chase and kill.
This kind of thing involving violence, everyone's first reaction is to look at Miao Pu, everyone is used to being the moon, and everyone else is surrounded by stars, so he naturally determines what kind of rules and regulations.
"Now we are waiting for work, those monsters are coming, it is just equivalent to sending abilities to feed, it's not a big problem, don't worry." Miao Pu said confidently.
Everyone has seen Miao Pu's strong skills in corpse reuse, so naturally they don't think Miao Pu is bragging.
So Kang Danian, Miao Pu and others began to deliberate and formulate a new plan.
Search and rescue, explore the truth, and eliminate uncontrollable factors. Miao Pu and his entourage's highest action goals are nothing more than these three, and the three of them are not isolated, but entangled, basically when most of the uncontrollable factors are eliminated, the truth is basically clear, and how many people can be found and saved, there is also a general conclusion.
Although Miao Pu didn't say that his main purpose was to rescue Wen Shiyin and Zhang Wang, Kang Danian and the others were not stupid, they cut in line halfway, and they didn't want to fall into repeated entanglements and go deep into the No. B outer ring area controlled by 8733, using it as a breakthrough, if it wasn't for the reason of "seeing people in life and seeing corpses in death", why should it be so?
All roads lead to Rome, and whichever direction you go from is to go through the process of the outer ring area, the outer area, and the core of the ruins. Even in order to break the rhythm of the enemy, the first choice should be No. A, the largest, the most complete, the most important, No. A as the three most, I believe that no matter the enemy or me, they will not be ignored, right?
Skipping A and choosing B, either you have a certain understanding of the situation here, and you are sure that this is the best breakthrough, according to Miao Pu's reaction, it is obviously not, so the rest of the more reliable reasons are search and rescue.
Although the various encounters since this operation made Kang Danian very optimistic about the results of the search and rescue, no one felt the need to remind Miao Pu.
For them, Miao Pu is the basis for carrying out operations in this terrifying underground world, as well as the most important combat power, and has saved lives many times, so in the case that it doesn't matter which of the three highest goals is the main one, and Miao Pu's wishes are in tune with the content of the plan and the program of action.
"If saving people is the primary goal, then this void is a roadblock for us. For the time being, there is no need to spend energy on studying its role and function, and conducting research is not our field of expertise. ”
"No matter what it used to look like, now that it's like this bird, I think I can save even a thorough and comprehensive search. Those who can walk will leave early, and those who can't go will die early. ”
"In that case, what we can do is simpler, find the entrance to the outer perimeter of the underground ruins, and get out of here."
"According to this line of thinking, it is easier for us to confirm the tunnel from the ground down to the outer ring area, although the cavity is large, but it is at such a depth, the tunnel will not be completely destroyed, there are always clues."
"We can also use the current location as a reference target to roughly estimate the location of the entrance to the outer perimeter of the ruins in the B subterranean area. This cavity is large enough, and according to the proportion of the overall coverage area outlined by its connection with the tunnel in the outer ring area, it is at most the junction of the core area of the ruins and the outer area. ”
“……”
Everyone said a word, and the new plan gradually came to mind.
Miao Pu did not participate in the formulation of this plan, but after making a statement that he was not afraid of monsters hitting the door, he sat down and continued to adjust his state.
He had only one purpose for adjusting at this time, to purify energy.
Today, even ordinary Awakened people basically understand the importance of purifying energy, and the ability will be more powerful and better used after refining itself.
In comparison, Miao Pu can be said to be a step ahead of many awakened people at the starting point.
Of course, there is no shortage of people with brains and imagination in this era, and there are very few awakened people who can build it calmly like Miao Pu, and later obtain the high-level skills of the system such as the Flood Inheritance.
Yuanshou has his own energy purification method, and it is not ****** different from Miao Pu's meridian, but Miao Pu still chose the meridian ******, and only used Yuanshou's energy purification method as a reference and reference.
I have to say that in the choice of this matter, the machine spirit is strongly opposed, and there is only one reason for his objection: where did you have such strong confidence that the set of assumptions you have come up with will be better than the obviously professional-level method in the Flood Desolation Inheritance?
Instead of going to the real thing, Miao Pu also knew that the Yuanshou Method, who used tissue cells as a processing machine, was indeed more efficient than the meridian ******, and it was also more in line with his current ability system based on the power of the desolation.
But in the end, he still chose the Meridian ******, not only because of the heart of vigilance that had been buried deep from the beginning, but also because he never forgot that his ability system, and the [balance system] that has not awakened so far is his ultimate real core. And the energy purification method that is in line with [Balance] can never be the one that Yuan Shou has.
The efficiency of the meridian ****** in terms of energy purification is a bit unfair to describe, it can only be said to be ordinary, especially when Miao Pu's body's daily thirst for energy can be called gluttonous, it is a bit insufficient.
But Miao Pu has survived, and this mentality of staying up is worthy of affirmation, but the price is also very large. As his strength became stronger and stronger, the operations he participated in and the enemies he dealt with became more and more high-end, and this method of purification had already had a situation where he was obviously pulled back.
People live in the world, and there is never a shortage of entanglements and struggles in love, and they will not be reduced because of whose achievements are higher. It is precisely because of this truth that Miao Pu can self-restraint, and even in the face of the current situation, he can still rely on the meridian ****** to purify his abilities.
About half an hour after they arrived at the edge of the cavern, the monsters came up from behind along the tunnel.
They weren't surprised by this situation at all, and even felt that the monsters were a little delayed in time.
Half an hour is a bit short for a purification ability. However, Miao Pu's ability reserves are quite abundant, so he doesn't have to fall into the embarrassing situation of having no abilities available.
It's still the same as before, Miao Pu can't take him with cannon fodder monsters and plant dogs, so he goes directly into the enemy formation and kills the bastards.
The early stage was relatively smooth, when he killed 4 bastards in a row, the group of monsters was really chaotic, he turned back to the forefront of the confrontation, blocking the cannon fodder monster and plant dogs through the sea to kill, withstanding the inertia of the attack wave, the group of monsters could not advance, could not retreat, so it became more and more chaotic.
However, this situation did not last long, and the chaos of the strange group quickly eased.
Miao Pu was also experienced, so naturally he would not wait for them to fully recover, and he would once again fight into the enemy formation, looking for the newly arrived bastards.
But the actual situation surprised him, he found that the newly arrived monsters that can dominate the monster group are not ordinary hybrid monsters, first of all, their appearance is quite different, if there are more ordinary hybrid monsters than humans, then this monster is more like people than monsters.
The monster's physical characteristics are also present with this monster, but the proportions are different, such as the tentacles on the back of the head, which in this monster looks more like a bunch of pigtails draped in the back of the head, and its body proportions are closer to those of humans.
Of course, there are a lot of differences in details, such as muscle groups, the muscle groups of this monster are definitely different from humans, they look strange but there is no lack of coordinated beauty, which is what makes him care, instinctively tell him, such a texture structure is definitely not as simple as what is more or what is missing.
But what frightened Miao Pu the most was that he saw the carapace on this monster...... The crotch, chest, shoulders, forearms, and shins, although the protection is not tight, that is, the level of a bronze saint seiya, the connotation that can be represented is enough to attract his attention.
Before the appearance of this monster, the monsters of this system can be summed up as a combination of humans and a certain plant, cannon fodder monsters and hybrid monsters, all of which are this kind of path, and the similarity of the appearance of the two, and even the similarity of the internal structure are relatively high.
As for plant dogs, they are simply named according to their behavior and position in the herd, not that they really look like dogs, or like a mix of plants and canines. In fact, they are pure plant monsters, and in simple understanding, they are like man-eating flowers.
But the appearance of this monster made Miao Pu see a new element, exoskeleton creatures, such as common insects.
Although complex does not necessarily mean powerful, he regards the source of this system as his life ability, and it is needless to say what the increase in the category of plant elements means.
Another thing that surprised him was that the monster was carrying a long knife.
Strictly speaking, this knife is a wooden strip that is wide at the front and narrow at the back, with a beveled angle cut at the top. But the point is not in the simplicity of the knife, but in the fact that it is a real weapon.
Weapons are combat tools, and being able to use them means no less intelligence, and that's what he cares about. Even if I already had a hunch and knew that there was likely to be such a deposit, I couldn't help but be surprised when I really saw it.
The monster has the outline of a human face, but has no mouth and nose, and has a distinct angular bulge in the middle of the face, which looks like a baroque with a mask (one of the four kings of Street Fighter).
Like the other monsters in the series, this guy has a pair of jackal eyes, glowing green like a beating ghost.
Rather than scrutinizing a living monster that is always causing trouble, Miao Pu is more accustomed to understanding it through dissection.
Therefore, after seeing this mask monster, Miao Pu rushed over after just a slight pause, holding a big knife in his left hand and stabbing in a straight line, and his right hand began to give birth to a horse chopping knife, which is also his strength, and he must not be awkward to die if he returns others, a Daguan knife, a horse chopping knife.
The mask monster is not slow to react, and the wooden knife skirt is cowardly and resistant
"Damn!"
Seeing this bright green light, Miao Pu, who rarely complained, couldn't help but burst out foul.
It turned out to be a mad ability, and in the face of this kind of Cheng Dù's ability energy, he didn't dare to play the tactic of exchanging injuries for injuries at all. Although his rattan armor sandwich is a virtual energy, and there is also a virtual part of the body as armor, but if you make an analogy, the sum of the two is an excellent quality body armor, ordinary pistol bullets can withstand it, and AK This kind of big gun bullet is enough to choke.
This energy slash of the mask monster, you don't need to try it, just by looking at it, you know that it definitely has the power to break the armor. No matter how brave and fearless Miao Pu is, he is not willing to take this knife first.
Seeing the energy slashing at him, Miao Pu's front was reflected in its light and turned a miserable green.
Miao Pu's calm right hand slashed out with a sword, and the silver light flashed and closed.
Kiss!
The sound was not loud, but the main body of the masked monster's energy slash was offset by a single sword.
It looked light, but it was not easy to crack, not only was the momentum blocked, but the Daguan knife was also unable to be closed, and the head of the crystallized energy was also cut off. Moreover, the afterglow of the energy slash roared sharply from both sides of Miao Pu's body, and its edge was obviously about three inches away from Miao Pu, and the invisible edge still easily cut through the outer layer of the rattan armor, and slashed across the virtual energy of the interlayer, lighting up like a flint rubbing against a stone slab.
The power of the energy slash was two points greater than Miao Pu imagined, which made his expression more solemn, and at the same time, he also saw the flaws of the mask monster, the wooden knife that was originally flowing with green light, was now dimmed.
After the mask monster released the energy slash, he immediately shook the knife, and Miao Pu, who offset the energy slash, happened to see this scene, and saw that with the shock and shaking of the wooden knife in the masked monster's hand, a large amount of energy was released on the inner wall of the tunnel, forming dozens of green thin lightning bolts, which were connected to the wooden knife, so the originally dim wooden knife immediately glowed again.
And the flaw that Miao Pu peeked at was not only the need to recharge after the energy slash was released, but also the details that one charge was not enough to restore the energy on the wooden knife to its strongest state.
He immediately launched a new wave of attacks, and the action that he had prepared to collect the Daguan knife before he was now charged before he threw it became a charging action.
The next moment, as the tip of the spear changed shape, Miao Pu rushed at full speed towards the masked monster.
Miao Pu was so light that he cracked the energy slash, and immediately counterattacked, as well as launched a new breakthrough, the mask monster was a little unexpected. But the guy wasn't flustered or sluggish, and as he swept backwards, he continued to swing his knife while waving his other hand, spreading his ability in the form of a dust mist.
As the dust and mist spread, a choking grass smell quickly appeared in the tunnel, and those monsters contaminated with the dust and mist were like being injected with stimulants, all of them went crazy, and their own ability level increased greatly, and one by one they seemed to be ignited, dressed in flame-like green light, rushing towards Miao Pu.
The Masked Monster can not only control and drive cannon fodder monsters and plant dogs, but also stimulate their combat power and make them more powerful.
Miao Pu wasn't very afraid at first, he didn't dare to say anything like "no matter how strong an ant is, it's an ant", but a monster of the level of cannon fodder monster and plant dog, even if the combat power is increased by 50%, can only have enough impact on him in the case of fierce battle, and in this situation like the one in front of him, as long as he is willing to pay a little more for the cost of ability consumption, he still can't stop it.
But soon this idea was ruthlessly shattered by reality.
It is true that the cannon fodder monster and the plant dog can't pose much of a threat to him even if they are boosted by the mask monster, but these guys don't hesitate to blow themselves up, but it is enough to delay his advance.
The energy of the flame shape represents more than 60% of the energy activation, and from the perspective of power, if the energy power of the monster is ordinary explosives, then the flame form has a greater power than the C4 explosive.
Even if Miao Pu can generate spike boots in an emergency, his grip ability is first-class. But the waves of explosion shockwaves still had a considerable impact on his charge, at least, there is no need to think about the trick of catapulting forward, and just relying on two legs to turn upside down, how fast can it be?
Seeing that the masked monster knocked off the spear and completed the second knife swing, and the third knife swing had already begun, the distance between Miao Pu and him was not much closer.
At this moment, the void behind the masked monster distorted, and in the next moment, a delicate cross sword slashed a translucent light curtain as magnificent as an aurora, directly splitting the masked monster vertically into two pieces......
The combination of space shifting, cross sword, and purple light sword curtain can be described as distinctive and familiar to Miao Pu.
Sure enough, as the body of the masked monster fell, Luo Zhiqing appeared in front of him.
The two nodded in tacit understanding, and then slaughtered the monsters around them.
Luo Zhiqing's combat methods are not rich, that is, a cross sword in his hand, which can attack powerfully, but it is still above Miao Pu in an ordinary state. Steady dìng long, each sword brings a purple sword curtain, this sword curtain is actually a kind of energy slash, although the amount and quality of energy can not be compared with the mask monster's energy slash, but it is better in the skill, the sword curtain seems to be light and thin, almost transparent, but it is extremely sharp, enough to cut steel and break iron. In addition, her combat skills are far from being comparable to Miao Pu's wild way, and when she slaughters monsters, her efficiency is even more fierce than that of Miao Pu.
In fact, with the death of the masked monster, the group of monsters has fallen into chaos again, and if they are cut down by the two of them again, they will immediately collapse.
The two of them covered up for a while, and the group of monsters left their fellow creatures in front of them into confusion and retreated into the depths of the tunnel like a tide. , the distance between Miao Pu and him has not been shortened much.
