Chapter 53: The First Ambush
The Purification people are suspicious, because they had sent ten people down, but now they are nowhere to be found.
If so, for what purpose?
They regretted it and didn't want to cooperate with Zhou Ziheng?
This should not be necessary.
Because there is something unspeakable in this shelter?
But this is the old era of a thousand years ago, and what is there to do with the current Purification Sect in the shelter that has something to do with the current Purification Sect? Even if the people of the Purification Sect are playing ghosts, will they treat the four hall masters and dozens of sect members as outcasts?
It seems that the suspicion of the Purification Sect can be put down first.
Could it be that this shelter is not in use, but that people from the old era live here and think of them as invaders?
Immediately, Wang Xiaotian felt amused by his brain. If this shelter had ever been opened, it would certainly not have been a handful of people who had come in.
And after a thousand years, if the number of people is small, it will definitely not be able to reproduce and become extinct, and if the number of people is large, the ethnic group will become larger and larger, I dare not say thousands, but it will never be less. In this way, it is impossible for the living area above to leave no traces of use.
Wang Xiaotian was thinking wildly, and when he walked to the hole that Shen Shuming had cut, he smelled that the air was full of scorching odor. Then I saw four or five unlucky ghosts lying on the ground, some with a charred chest and some with a scorched abdomen.
He immediately understood that these wounds, caused by the blue light, did not bleed, but burned clothes and flesh.
Shen Shuming saw that Wang Xiaotian was looking at the injured person, and said in a low voice: "The wound doesn't look big, but the internal organs inside are almost cooked, and the person is dying." ”
Wang Xiaotian suddenly felt a chill. This weapon is too shady.
Cao Lian covered her nose with an unhappy face, "It's too stinky." ”
Wu Ling'er gently hugged Cao Lianyou in her arms, using her own Force barrier to isolate her from the stench. Cao Lianyou's brows relaxed.
Wang Xiaotian drilled into the cave and saw Zhou Ziheng, Yalan and others standing in front of the tracked robots that had turned into pieces and talked in a low voice.
He hurriedly greeted Wu Ling'er and walked over quickly. Tell him directly that if you have to stay, it's best not to stay too far away from Zhou Ziheng. His strong combat effectiveness is a guarantee of security.
Wang Xiaotian passed, and he heard Zhou Ziheng say in a low voice: "Are you sure they are being manipulated?"
Yalan was squatting on the ground, looking at the internal structure of the crawler robot, and when he heard this, he raised his head and nodded affirmatively: "Very sure, because this kind of robot is not equipped with an intelligent processing module, but a command receiving module." No, this is it. ”
She stretched out her slender index finger and pointed at something on the butt of the crawler robot, which was raised upwards in the shape of a tail.
Zhou Ziheng looked at the little tail and said, "In other words, there are living people manipulating them in this shelter?"
Yalan thought for a moment and said, "Half a possibility." The other half may be that the shelter, the control system is intelligent, and it is it that is manipulating these robots. ”
"That ......" Wang Xiaotian suddenly spoke, causing everyone to turn their heads to look at him.
Wang Xiaotian said: "Isn't it a different place to study this? This place goes straight and straight, and there is not even a place to dodge." If there is another wave of this kind of thing, won't we become a living target?"
Zhou Ziheng nodded, "You're right. Master of Obscurity, you arrange for someone to send the wounded out. Let's move on. There is an old saying that is called wanting to cover up. The more they attack us, the more it means that we are going, where they think it is important. ”
The group traveled lightly. Then I walked forward for more than ten minutes and came to a machining area.
It is very wide, thousands of meters wide on the left and right, hundreds of meters away when you look ahead, and more than five meters high up and down. On the floor, there are neatly placed machine tools of different sizes and functions, and there are many pipes, cables and guide rails and a crane on the roof of the room.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked, and at the same time let out an exclamation of "wow". Before their exclamations had dissipated, they saw countless dark shadows rushing towards them.
The battle is on the verge of breaking out.
This time, it was not a tracked robot that attacked them, but a different kind of robot. This kind of robot has a big round head, two red eyes on it, no body, and seven or eight long alloy claws directly connected to the big head, which looks like an octopus monster at the bottom of the sea.
Octopuses can run, jump, and walk, coming from all directions, even on the roof of the room.
Wang Xiaotian stretched out his hand, and Cao Lianyou took his hand and followed him closely. Wu Ling'er slipped two daggers from his sleeves and protected them behind them.
Shen Shuming drew his sword and protected it on their left side, and Zhou Ziheng held the sword in his hand and protected it on their right side. On their periphery were the people of the Purification Cult.
Shelter, somewhere.
There is a video wall of tens of square meters. The four corners of the screen are surveillance images from all over the shelter, and the middle occupies 60% of the area, showing Zhou Ziheng and their ambush.
A slender, white hand, manipulating the controller, magnifies and magnifies the octopus monster in the center of the crowd. Until the entire display area remains, only the faces of Wang Xiaotian and Cao Lianyou.
"Oh, two little children, protected in the middle, look very important. A crisp and pleasant voice said to himself, "Since you are so important, I will take you as the main goal." Hee-hee. ”
Then, two squares frame the faces of the two people, crop them directly, and rise to the top of the entire screen. On the face map of the two of them, there is a striking emblem - a red skull with a huge red X flashing on it.
Immediately afterward, the hand quickly entered the command, raising the security level of the entire base to the highest level.
Then, the crisp and pleasant voice said, "Hehe, two children, I hope you have a good time." ”
Wang Xiaotian suddenly shuddered. He knew that this was not his own delusion, but an invisible malice aimed at him, and the eyes of those octopus monsters seemed to be staring at him and Cao Lianyou.
Before he could verify it, he found that the octopus monsters that were originally on the periphery and were stopped by the Purification Sect people all jumped high one after another, like moths to a flame, completely ignoring the attacks of others and rushing towards them, countless metal long claws, grabbing at him and Cao Lianyou!
Zhou Ziheng also noticed the change in the octopus monster, and shouted: "Be careful!", using a "half-moon slash", the sword light was like a peacock opening the screen, and in a huge semicircle in front of him, it was suddenly like a firework blooming, it was the octopus monster, the long claws that were cut off, the round head that was split, and the electric sparks that burst out.
Shen Shuming's sword is like the wind, chopping, chopping, chopping, picking, the offensive is fierce, wide open and closed, full of iron and blood and courage on the battlefield.
Wu Ling'er holds a dagger in both hands, like a butterfly wearing flowers, a dragonfly dotting water, shuttling back and forth in the octopus monster, with a graceful posture and a calm step, every time it can be avoided, the attack of the octopus monster, the two daggers are like flying butterflies, stabbing, cutting, piercing, wiping, easily unloading the defense of the octopus monster, and then a knife is inserted into its head, bursting out a spark.
Although Zhou Ziheng's combat effectiveness was off the charts and he killed a lot of octopus monsters, the octopus monsters surrounding them did not decrease, but became more and more, gradually surrounding them into an impenetrable group.
The people of the Purification Sect all found out that something was strange, because the octopus monster actually ignored them and went straight to Zhou Ziheng and the others. They exchanged glances with each other, slowly distanced themselves from Zhou Ziheng and others, and quickly evacuated under the cover of the machine tool.
All of this has actually fallen into Zhou Ziheng's eyes. But he didn't say anything to stop it. Because of this result, it is also what Zhou Ziheng hopes.
Although they have reached a cooperation agreement with the Purification Sect, it does not mean that they have much trust in the Purification Sect. On the contrary, they have been beware, beware of the Purification cultists.
They were even more worried that in the middle of a fierce battle with these octopus monsters, or any other enemy, the Purification Sect would stab them in the back.
Therefore, the withdrawal of the people of the Purification Sect made them more reassured.
After a while, it was estimated that the people of the Purification Sect had walked away, and Zhou Ziheng flew up a few feet and kicked a few octopus monsters far away, and said, "You pay attention to controlling the number of monsters. Little day, it's time for you to move. ”
Wang Xiaotian responded, patted Cao Lianyou's little hand gently, and said to her, "I'm going to practice swords, just like every morning." You're here watching and cheering me on. ”
Cao Lianyou's face was hopeful, "I want to practice too." ”
Wang Xiaotian patiently persuaded: "Your body has not fully recovered yet. You can't get tired anymore, or you'll faint again. I promise you, when you get better, I will definitely accompany you to practice swords. ”
Although Cao Lianyou was a little disappointed, she nodded very obediently and let go of the hand holding Wang Xiaotian.
Wang Xiaotian smiled at her, and his handsome smile made Cao Lianyou's heart warm. Then, Wang Xiaotian turned around, walked to Wu Ling'er's right back, and pulled out his sword.
Wu Ling'er let go of an octopus monster. Wang Xiaotian immediately swung his sword to meet him.
Just now, he had been observing these octopus monsters. The fighting style of these octopus monsters is very peculiar, they can be supported by one tentacle, seven tentacles can attack in all directions, they can also attack from jumping up in the air, and they can also slide over and attack from the ground. If you're not careful, you'll get entangled in its long, tough tentacles.
Just now, Wang Xiaotian saw that an unlucky ghost of the Purification Sect was entangled in tentacles and strangled.
However, the combat effectiveness of these octopus monsters is not high, and they are probably three-level high-level, which is the most suitable for sword training.
Wang Xiaotian's sword was like the wind, instantly cutting off the eight tentacles of the octopus monster, and before it could react, he took two steps forward and pierced its round head with a sword.
He drew his sword, and his round head immediately exploded with a cloud of electric sparks, and the octopus monster never moved again.
It's too weak. Wang Xiaotian secretly wondered. This level of little monster is simply the experience value of the event. He swarmed his sword at the other octopus.
Three minutes later, Zhou Ziheng increased the difficulty of Wang Xiaotian's sword practice, and asked him to deal with the sixteen tentacles of the two octopus monsters at the same time.
Wang Xiaotian splendidly danced with flowers to protect his whole body. Anyway, the stabbing sword sharpens iron like clay, and these tentacles will break as long as they collide, not risking their own safety.
However, this lazy method was quickly stopped.
Zhou Ziheng snorted coldly and said, "Fight the sword, what you have in your hand is a sword, not a stick." The sword is not used to hit hard, but to be as fast as lightning and go straight to the point. ”
Wang Xiaotian had no choice but to give up conservative tactics. The sword came out like lightning, and instantly slashed out seven or eight swords, cutting off all the tentacles that were close to him, and then with his flexible pace, he stabbed out a sword like lightning and killed the octopus monster that was close to him.
In this way, the remaining other octopus monster is not a cause for concern.
Zhou Ziheng pointed out: "The speed is fast, but there are more, redundant movements, and the strength is too strong." You can do things with seven points of strength, so why use ten points?"
"You have to learn how to use the right amount of power, which is called lifting weights. To put it simply, it is to treat all the power as the last little bit of power, and never tolerate the slightest waste. ”
"Think about it, you are dying of thirst, there is a cup in front of you with life-saving water, you get the cup, you drink the water and you can live, if you can't get it, or you knock over the cup, you can only wait for death. Putting yourself in this environment, you will have more insight into the use of power. ”
