Chapter 24: The Grey World (4)

The ruins of a lost city-state remain in the wasteland hills of the crimson earth, which is said to have been a thriving metropolis for mankind before the Age of Divine Punishment. But today, there is still a shadow of the past glory.

Just like the relics of the ancient kingdom of Loulan on the Silk Road, if there were no scientists who stood up and publicized it with great fanfare, who would believe that those things that seem to be children who started piling up sand and dirt on a whim and gave up halfway, barely and "buildings", could be cities where hundreds of thousands of people lived together? At best, they would only feel that they were failures of modern art.

It's even more miserable in comparison. And the current owners are no longer humans, but have been occupied by monsters and become their habitat.

The colony of the twilight coyote is the one who is now dominant. They are beastly monsters endemic to the continent, and their name comes mostly from their near-twilight fur. Their appearance is similar to that of real-world hyenas, but they are even more ugly.

If you ask, how ugly is the twilight coyote? is that the player encounters it by chance, and even if it is extremely unnecessary, he will waste time rushing to beat it to the point where he can't see the prototype.

Of course, in reality, the average person would never do that. Because, the level of the twilight coyote is generally around twelve or three, and it is considered a monster at the top of the food chain in this area. On this basis, they usually move in groups, ranging from five to ten in groups.

To be able to fight them, a five-man squad is the minimum standard.

These are for the average player, though. Sinapus is not an ordinary player, so he regards sweeping away the twilight coyotes as the second victory, and relies on his sufficient intelligence to reach this site one step ahead of Li Mengxi.

Even if it was a pack of ten twilight coyotes, he had the confidence to pick them up like a storm. Then he would wait for Li Mengxi to arrive as a victor, laugh at him to his heart's content, and breathe a sigh of relief for the events of that day.

The plan was supposed to be like this, but the plan never catches up with the changes.

At this time, Sinapus was hiding behind an earthen wall on the edge of the ruins downwind, carefully observing the situation inside the ruins.

The village chief a few days ago must have said "no big deal" and "a pack of twilight coyotes".

But what about the actual situation in front of you?

The number of twilight coyotes in the ruins is in the hundreds. It's also called "a group," but isn't there a more accurate way to describe it?

So it's definitely not a "no big deal"!

What the hell is going on with that village chief! Such a nasty NPC has never been seen before!

Sinapus couldn't help but roar angrily in his heart.

When he first saw this situation, he understood that this task was probably not something that one person could handle. Even if the terrain of the ruins actually divides the coyote pack into small groups that can be broken down individually, the intensity of the battle would require at least a squadron of ten men to complete.

The most reasonable solution at the moment is to immediately abandon the solo strategy and find a town that is a transportation hub to recruit teammates.

However, he did not leave. To be precise, he didn't see Li Mengxi leaving helplessly, he was very unwilling to leave like this, because he always felt like he had lost. This boring reason is exactly why he keeps waiting here.

At this moment, a very familiar red figure appeared in the field of vision. Because he had been looking forward to it, Sinaps locked on to the object at a glance. That's right, that's Li Mengxi.

Under his gaze, Li Mengxi walked to a slightly higher low slope and stopped, as if he was observing the situation on this side of the ruins from a distance.

And so, Sinapus laughed. In his heart, like a curse, he repeatedly chanted "go back", "go back", "go back". Because this is the scene he has been waiting for for a long time.

However, Li Mengxi did not satisfy him this time, but made him tremble.

I saw Li Mengxi pull out a pair of double swords from his two waists and combine them into a crimson double-headed spear in front of him. Then, without even the slightest confusion or hesitation, he rushed straight over.

Taking this scene into view, Sinaps couldn't help but reveal a thought that made him unbelievable.

Could this guy be ......

And the reality is exactly this "should or not".

Li Mengxi's horizontal spear went straight into a small group of coyotes on the side.

"Bang!", and the one blocking the front was thrown more than three meters high by a shot. Immediately, the gun came out like a dragon, and the light chips splashed between the wanderings, and there was no enemy at all.

Caught off guard, five or six coyotes were all killed by Li Mengxi with only one blow. With such a high output, it is no wonder that he dared to rush into the wolves alone.

In this way, as long as you take advantage of the geographical advantage and intersperse guerrilla attacks between the ruins, without considering the mental and physical exertion, you can indeed theoretically sweep away these more than 100 twilight coyotes by yourself.

However, this is the plan that Sinaps considered, and Li Mengxi has no such meaning at all. I don't know what evil he fell into, but he turned into the avenue. And unless there is a guy in the way, he doesn't go out of his way to kill the coyote, but just runs towards what looks like the wreckage of the temple in the center of the ruins, which is also the highest point of the ruins.

The coyotes in the surrounding area, who had already noticed the intruders, converged one after another on the avenue from all directions.

No matter how you look at Li Mengxi's actions, it's just to attract blame, if you are surrounded by a lot in the end, it's not a joke!

At best, Sinaps wanted to see Li Mengxi's embarrassed side to express the depression of a few days ago. And the scene of him being besieged to death by wolves is not his area of interest.

"You idiot!"

So, Sinapus rushed out of hiding with a shout and ran towards Li Mengxi, intending to stop him in time.

As soon as he appeared, several of the coyotes passing nearby immediately pounced on him.

Seeing this, Sinapus quickly drew his golden long sword from behind his waist and slashed it left and right. It's also a one-hit slash monster.

In this way, although the purpose is different, in fact, Sinapus's actions are no different from Li Mengxi's.

He originally intended to stop Li Mengxi's act of attracting a large number of monsters. But by the time the two people come together, the situation has evolved into an unstoppable result.

"Hey, what the hell are you thinking! I'm unlucky with me!" Sinapus' speed is not as good as Li Mengxi's, so at this time, he can only stay behind him and argue about his dissatisfaction!

And Li Mengxi ignored him, just blindly ran forward.

In the end, the two of them reached the highest point of the hill where the ruins were located, and it seemed that this was the final destination.

Li Mengxi entered the ruined temple first, and swept away the coyotes entrenched inside.

When Sinapus entered, all he saw was a few dissipating shards of light. He'd love to catch his breath.

"I see, that's right. ”

After a cursory look at the environment around him, Sinaps felt that he understood Li Mengxi's plan.

The temple is circular in shape, and the upper part is mutilated, but the walls left are tall enough to be intact. In other words, the only way to get in and out of here is the front entrance.

As the saying goes, the narrow road is narrow, and one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open. Li Mengxi deliberately attracted all the coyotes, and then took advantage of the geographical advantage here to change the situation of fighting with more than a hundred coyotes at the same time to fighting with more than a hundred coyotes one after another.

Although this plan cut off its own retreat, it was easier and more efficient in combat than interspersed guerrilla tactics. But this is also based on the premise of ignoring mental and physical exertion.

If these two non-negligible elements are taken into account, the consequences are difficult to predict. However, if there are two people, it should still be able to cope with it.

Thinking like this, Sinapus spoke: "You please first, I'll replace you later." ”

Hearing this, Li Mengxi glanced at Sinapus. He didn't respond to anything, and he didn't have time to respond. Because, at dusk, the coyotes have already rushed over.

Seeing this, Li Mengxi immediately rushed to the entrance, and then smoothly connected a move to "swing horizontally", directly hitting the three who took the lead.

"Bang!"

The three coyotes that took the lead in front were blasted out of the temple and shattered into splinters in the air.

When the other coyotes saw this, they braked sharply with their four paws, and most of them would stop outside the temple, and two of them were very unfortunate enough to slip in front of Li Mengxi.

Of course, he was not polite, and immediately used a martial art called "Star Thorn", the effect of which was to attack all enemies in the first row directly in front of him at the same time.

The spear in his hand stabbed twice in quick succession, stabbing at the two twilight coyotes respectively. Due to the extremely short interval between the two shots, it appeared as if two guns were stabbing at the same time.

And after two shots, the two coyotes also shattered into shreds.

"Charge", "Sideways", and "Star Thorn", Li Mengxi used the three martial arts in one go, and there was no break time between the skills at all, as if he was using a combo skill.

Especially the last "star thorn". It seems to be an improvisational decision, but it stands to reason that because the brain needs time to think, the action will pause accordingly, eventually leading to a broken connection between the first two skills.

But Sinaps did not see this at all. This shows that either Li Mengxi had expected that his actions were not improvised, or that his reflexes were extraordinary, or that he had combat experience that was enough to form such a habit.

Either case, it was enough for Sinapus to praise in his heart at this time: Amazing!

At this time, because their companions were killed, the twilight coyotes were also vigilant. They slowly retreated some distance in unison, regrouping their posture, and then the five wolves launched a second round of attacks.

The five heads who took the lead in rushing towards Li Mengxi listed the formation of the first two and the last three. It seemed that there was a plan, which alerted Sinapus.

Li Mengxi locked on to the two coyotes that were hitting the striker with his eyes, grabbed the moment they pounced, took a step forward, and used the "star thorn" to assassinate them without any suspense.

At the same time that the two coyotes turned into light chips, the other three coyotes followed by them to act together.

The middle one rushed towards Li Mengxi, but the remaining two were one to the left and the other to the right, their purpose was not to attack Li Mengxi but to wait for an opportunity to go around his back. As a result, Li Mengxi fell into a situation where he was attacked on his back.

Thinking about it this way, the two coyotes who were the first to be killed were just victims of the actions of the three coyotes behind him in order to disturb Li Mengxi's line of sight. And for the sake of safety, among the three in the rear, the coyote in the center also sacrificed himself to contain Li Mengxi.

I really don't know whether to accuse these coyotes of being cunning and cruel, or praise them for their sacrificial spirit.

It's just that beasts are beasts after all, and their tactics don't take into account the Sinapus inside the temple. And the latter is ready to clean up the rear for Li Mengxi, but it doesn't seem to be needed.

At this moment, Li Mengxi suddenly split the spear in his hand into two long swords, and at the same time displayed the martial art "Bafang Slash". This is a skill that is used to sweep away enemies around you.

After a flash of sword light, the three coyotes turned into light chips at the same time. Then, Li Mengxi took advantage of the situation to combine the two swords into a spear.

"Quack, quack......" The entire coyote pack let out a strange roar, as if they were enraged by a tactical failure. Immediately, he didn't care about any tactics, and rushed to kill Li Mengxi one after another.

In this way, don't look at them as wolves, in fact, they are similar to sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

To Sinapus, the wolves rushing to the entrance of the temple were like a flood, and Li Mengxi was the dam that stood still. No matter how turbulent the water hits the dam, it can only roll back, and the splash is just the light debris floating in the air.

But Li Mengxi can't be said to be at ease. The coyotes rushed at them in a frenzy, but it was more difficult to deal with than their planned actions. Even if you describe it as a "sheep", wolves are still wolves, fierce creatures with fangs and claws ready to tear their enemies to pieces.

Although Li Mengxi can kill the twilight coyote with one blow, the other party is not standing still and waiting for him to stab. Therefore, facing the siege of more than 100 coyotes cannot be solved by simply stabbing more than 100 shots.

Before seizing the opportunity to make a move, Li Mengxi must defend cautiously, not to mention defensive moves such as parry and deflection, and flashing and moving are also commonplace. It is also necessary to see and listen to all directions, if you are caught by another coyote at the moment of attacking one coyote, it will be more than worth the loss.

Physical strength and energy are also rapidly consumed in this series of uninterrupted offense and defense, and even Li Mengxi gradually developed a sense of fatigue.

Seeing this, Sinapus felt that it was time to change hands, so he drew his sword and leaned over.

"Come on with me, you go and take a break!"

He shouted and walked briskly closer. Unexpectedly, Li Mengxi not only did not speak, but stabbed him with the back gun head while repelling the coyote.

"Wow!" Although he instantly judged that he could not have really been stabbed, Sinapus couldn't help but be startled, and jumped backwards with a scream.

"Hey, what do you mean!" he asked, a little angrily, aloud.

"I don't need you!" While speaking, Li Mengxi deliberately sold a flaw, and then swept over with a "sideways" sweep and killed three coyotes in one go. This made his words, expressions, and expressions full of contempt in the eyes of Sinapus.

Damn! Look down on me!

Sinapus couldn't help but grit his teeth in his heart. But even if he is unwilling, what can he do? You can't stab Li Mengxi from behind to get angry, right? However, it is impossible to make him swallow this breath.

After thinking about it for a moment, Sinaps came up with a great idea. Immediately, he turned and walked towards the wall facing the exit, and raised his sword aloft.

"Boom!" An explosion sounded, making both the twilight coyotes and Li Mengxi temporarily stop fighting.

Li Mengxi turned his head and couldn't help but grit his teeth silently.

Sinapus didn't know what special skills he used, but he actually made a large hole in the wall of the temple. At this time, he also looked back at Li Mengxi, and showed a very provocative smile when the two of them collided.

After seeing this expression, Li Mengxi roughly knew what Sinaps was thinking. He was ready to open up a second battlefield to compete with himself.

Immediately, Li Mengxi refocused his gaze on the front and held the handle of the gun tighter.

Bored!

After silently saying a word in his heart, he shot out again.
