Chapter 69: Casualties
Unlike the other archers, Ye Feng did not devote himself to the battle against the other mutants, and was still looking for the whereabouts of the last mutant.
There were several times when the mutants almost rushed to Ye Feng's side, but he was still unmoved, just used Ling Feng's footwork to avoid the opponent's attack, transported his eyesight to the extreme, and determined to find the enemy who posed the greatest threat.
Ye Feng's efforts paid off, and he soon saw that by a big tree a hundred meters away, there was a figure covered in camouflage that was gathering strength, which should be the target he was looking for!
Ye Feng guessed correctly, this was the mutant who launched two rounds of bone spur attacks, and was preparing for the third round of attacks at this time.
Accurately shooting dozens of bone spurs to a distance of 100 meters at a time was also a huge burden for this mutant, especially after two rounds of attacks, he was already struggling.
So this time, the mutant took longer than usual to charge up, and the range of movement was a little larger. He thought that it should not be a big problem to be harassed by his companions so far from his target, but he did not expect that this small negligence would be fatal.
The mutant's face turned red, and the bruises on his neck were exposed, and he had obviously done his best. Two lumps gradually bulged on his shoulders, and the front of the lumps was full of finger-thick holes, from which dozens of bone spurs were ejected.
As the mutants took longer to charge, the tips of the bone spurs were gradually exposed, ready for launch.
The attack power of the bone spur is amazing, and this round of fire can definitely cause huge casualties to the task force.
The mutant took one last look at the target's location, and was about to shoot the bone spurs in one go, when he heard a soft "whoosh" sound, and two sharp arrows were fired in front of him almost simultaneously.
It was difficult for the mutant who had completed the charge to even move a single step, let alone dodge the sharp arrows that Ye Feng shot with all his might.
With a soft "poof", two sharp arrows glittering with true qi hit the bulge on the mutant's shoulder at the same time.
A huge amount of pressure had accumulated inside the bulge, and after being shot through, it immediately exploded like a compressed air canister, and the bone spurs inside flew everywhere, several of which were deeply embedded in the mutant's body, causing great damage to it.
The mutant's vitality was tenacious enough, and even then he didn't fall to the ground immediately, but used his last bit of strength to shoot out all the remaining three bone spurs.
However, Ye Feng could plan to give the mutant any chance, and immediately cast a special move to chase the sun, and four sharp arrows shot out in a row. The first three sharp arrows shot down the three oncoming bone spurs one by one, and the last sharp arrow accurately pierced the mutant's forehead, completely cutting off the guy's life.
Finally getting rid of this biggest threat, Ye Feng couldn't help but cheer in his heart: "Great!"
However, the battle is not over yet, Ye Feng can't relax, he loudly tells others that the threat of bone spurs has been lifted, and at the same time throws himself into the battle against other mutants.
Without mutants who can shoot bone spurs, the other mutants are much less of a threat. A few minutes later, the last mutant tried to escape, but was chased by Ye Feng and slashed to the ground, and the battle ended.
In this battle, the third team eliminated a total of eleven mutants, and the results can be said to be very good. Ye Feng also took the opportunity to collect four genetic samples, which can be regarded as a fruitful harvest.
However, neither Ye Feng nor the others were happy, because the task force had casualties.
The team member who was shot to death by a bone spur was named Shang Le, a lieutenant in his thirties. He wasn't a lot to talk about, but he was brave and honest, and the rest of the task force liked him.
However, Shang Le was unlucky, and he was shot through the heart by a bone spur before he could dodge, which also made people feel sorry for him.
Song Lei stood beside Shang Le's body, her face full of self-blame. Although casualties in the battle were inevitable, the female major, who was the captain, felt that she could not escape the blame.
Ye Feng had just known Shang Le for a long time, but his mood was also very heavy. He couldn't stand such a dull atmosphere, and after greeting Li Jia, he went to the mutant who could shoot bone spurs to retrieve the arrows.
Mutants will return to their original state after death, and when Ye Feng finds this guy's body, he looks no different from ordinary people. There was also a sharp arrow stuck in his forehead, and he lay on the ground without looking at it.
Ye Feng pulled out his sharp arrow and collected the genetic samples of this guy, so that he collected a total of eight genetic samples of mutants, which was of great help to the development of new technologies for the Flame of Civilization.
Ye Feng had just collected the new genetic sample, and the voice of the civilization fire sounded in his head: "Interesting, really interesting!"
Ye Feng hurriedly asked, "What new discoveries have you made?"
"The genes of this mutant are interesting. Civilization Tinder told Ye Feng: "Although the means of changing genes are still very primitive, they provide a new way of thinking. Would the host be interested in being able to shoot a large number of lethal bone spurs at any time, just like this mutant?"
Speaking from the heart, this suggestion of the flame of civilization is quite attractive. However, thinking of the terrifying appearance of the mutant, Ye Feng quickly shook his head and said, "Thank you, I don't want to turn myself into a monster!"
Civilization Tinder said: "With the genetic technology I mastered, of course I won't turn you into a monster. However, this requires strong strength as support, and the host is still too far away at the moment. ”
Since he won't turn into a monster, Ye Feng also put his mind at ease, and said indifferently: "The strength can be slowly strengthened, let's talk about it when I have the corresponding strength." ”
Civilization Tinder said earnestly: "So the host has to collect more genetic samples, and at the same time, you have to cultivate hard!"
"Got it, when have I ever been lazy. Ye Feng said that he had been working hard, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he tore off the badge from the mutant's pants.
Ye Feng looked at the badge carefully, and found that it was actually engraved with the two small characters "Fighting Soul" on it, and there was a person's name underneath, which was obviously the name of this mutant.
"Interesting...... Ye Feng nodded lightly, he didn't stay here for a long time, but quickly returned to his comrades and handed this badge to Song Lei.
Song Lei's face changed as soon as she saw this badge, and she hurriedly asked Ye Feng in a low voice, "Where did you find it?"
"It's on the guy who shoots bone spurs. Ye Feng lowered his voice and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that mutant should have been a person from the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Pavilion before. ”
Song Lei frowned and said, "It's really possible, if that's the case......"
Ye Feng said for Song Lei: "Think about it again, there are also mutations in Task Force 1, and they all cooperate with the Deep Space Gene Company, don't you believe me now?"
Song Lei's brows furrowed even tighter, and after a long while, she whispered, "When the mission here is over, you come to the martial arts hall to find me!"
