As soon as Meng Lei's voice fell, the responses of Huo Ye and several people immediately came from the earphones.

In this mission to clean up the Swift Menglong's lair, Meng Lei only brought three people.

Although the number is not large, the equipment is relatively complete, at least the firepower can be fully guaranteed.

Except for Meng Lei, who carried the most familiar shotgun, as the last guarantee for the monster to attack closer.

Huo Ye and Simon all three of them carried underwater assault rifles produced by the Guixu.

Three spears and a shotgun, in Simon's words, as long as you don't meet the old Swift Dragon, you can kill as much as you want!

From this point, it can be seen that Simon is also a veteran of out-of-cabin combat.

At the moment, with Meng Lei's reminder.

The few people who participated in the battle were all in high spirits.

One by one, the guns were held tightly in their hands, and at the same time, intentionally or unintentionally, they leaned their bodies against the nearby rock wall.

This small action to avoid potential dangers is also taught by Simon.

In the complex rift environment, the alien sea monster in the dark will usually attack from different angles in all directions.

It can ensure the absolute safety of one side, and it is more conducive to observing the direction of monsters during battle.

At the same time, it will also cancel out some of the thrust caused by shooting.

At this time, when everyone was ready.

Several anomalies on the sonar display, representing the sea monster, seemed to feel the transmission of sound waves, and began to slowly wander towards the location of several people.

Judging from the unhurried speed, it was clear that these swift dragons had not yet realized that their territory had been invaded.

With a hint of curiosity, trying to pinpoint the source of the sound waves.

Meng Lei stared at the picture constructed by the sonar system, and could clearly see that there were three red anomalies, which were steadily floating upwards from the depths of a crack under the surface under his feet.

"Here, there are three in the passage below the slope, everyone get ready!"

"Lao Huo, lighting stick!"

"Simon, set up a gun!"

Meng Lei quickly issued a combat order.

At the same time, he also took a light rod from the armed belt around the waist of the diving suit and pinched it in his hand.

A normal wetsuit does not have the space backpack of the initial wetsuit.

Because of the hyperspace realm, all space-related technologies are forbidden to be brought to the deeper seas beyond the outpost gathering place.

Therefore, this multi-functional armed belt has become the only equipment that can carry a large number of tools when launching into the water.

When Meng Lei's voice fell, there were several answers in the headphones.

Huo Ye took out a lighting stick, lit it up, raised his arm and struggled towards his feet, and threw it at the entrance of the dark and dark seabed rift.

It is very difficult to make any large-scale movements underwater, don't look at Huo Ye's strength, but it is not as good as one-tenth of his strength on land.

At last

Relying on the stability of this special lighting rod itself, it fluttered with the water and shook to the position of the entrance.

In an instant, a bright white light lit up, dispelling the darkness around him.

Everything was suddenly clear, and the area within a radius of one or twenty meters was clear.

Immediately afterward, several high-pitched roars also came from the crevices in the rocks below.

As if they had been stimulated by something, the three mire dragons suddenly sped up.

At the same time, Simon's reminder rang in the headphones:

"Everyone, pay attention, the head and back of the mire swift dragon have a layer of hard carapace, which is difficult for ordinary weapons to penetrate in a short period of time.

When you can fight, try to aim for its abdomen and lower limbs.

These two places are its weak points! ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Meng Lei didn't have much reaction, because he had already learned this information through the gold finger prompt on the sonar display.

I was going to reveal it to everyone before the war, if no one reminded me.

But since Simon took the initiative to take on the task of explaining, it just saved him from being exposed.

At this time, Simon's voice had just fallen.

In the light of the light of the light stick, suddenly several shadows quickly shuttled by.

Through the refraction of the light caused by the current, the shadows appear incomparably huge, reflecting on the bare rock walls of the passage, giving people a great sense of oppression.

Meng Lei held his breath and stared at the dark entrance of the rift.

At one point, there was a sudden change in the flow of water under the light stick.

In the next moment, I saw a huge black shadow, which came out of the crack in an instant.

It was only at this time that Meng Lei finally saw the monster's appearance clearly.

The name Swift Dragon is indeed appropriate for this kind of monster.

It has a similar appearance to that of the Swift Dragon, with a dark blue color throughout, but a more pointed head than the Swift Dragon.

Its mouth, in particular, is like a sharp thorn and covered with fine fangs.

A thick shell covers most of the surface of the body from the head to the tail, and there is a hard bulge on the back, which looks very hideous and powerful.

The well-developed tail is its symbol, as well as the thick lower limbs.

Indicates its mode of movement, mostly by swimming in the lower part of its body.

This kind of ugly-looking guy, Meng Lei had encountered a lot of them before when Shuai Jun broke through the monster cave.

But at that time, because he was in a submarine, he was still preoccupied with running for his life.

So, the feeling for him is not very intuitive.

It was only now that he had come up close and personal that he truly realized the horror of this monster.

The length of more than three meters, including the tail, is enough to make people shudder.

Compared to the bloated and stubby creeper, the Mire Swift Dragon was undoubtedly more difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, the number of swift dragons in the nest does not seem to be much, and there are only three of them emerging at present.

With the firepower of the four of them, it shouldn't be too tricky.

The key is that with Simon, a senior security officer, in charge, the danger factor does not seem to be great.

Now, the moment the first mire dragon emerges from the rift passage.

Simon, who had been waiting for a long time, did not wait for Meng Lei to speak, and immediately pulled the trigger without hesitation at the first time.

In the dull sound of explosions, a series of bullets wrapped in bubbles came out of the chamber at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

didn't wait for the swift dragon to react,

The extremely dense flat-headed supercavitating bullet, under the violent reaction between nano-scale metal powder and seawater, with an unparalleled momentum, instantly tore the hard skin of its abdomen.

At the same time, Huo Ye and Huo Ke also moved in unison and pulled the trigger one after another.

The three of them stood in three different directions, and carried out a frantic concentrated fire attack at the first mire swift dragon that was the first to enter the field of vision.

In an instant, dozens of bullets were poured out.

Since the mire swift dragon was swimming towards everyone, it directly exposed its chest and abdomen to everyone's guns.

This concentrated fire shot disembowels the swift dragon on the spot.

Before he could dodge, his chest was beaten into a bloody sieve.

Thick and dirty blood flowed out of the wound, and it could not be completely diluted for a while, as if it were solid in Xunmenglong's chest. It bloomed as if it had bloomed a hideous blood-colored flower.

The first swift dragon was killed on the spot, and the flag was victorious, and everyone couldn't help but feel the pressure relaxed.

At this time, the other two swift dragons also rushed out.

Stimulated by the corpses of their companions, the two swift dragons suddenly let out a sharp roar, and immediately rushed towards Simon, who was closest to him, frantically rushing away.

Sharp teeth glow under the illuminated rods.

The huge head as sharp as a bird's beak would definitely pierce Simon on the spot if it really pierced him.

At this time, seeing that Simon was not in a hurry, he was still floating in place and continued to pull the trigger, constantly pouring fire at the two swift dragons.

At the same time, because his back was against the rock wall, the reverse thrust of the shot was neutralized.

The whole person looked as if he was nailed in mid-air.

It seems that there is no intention of dodging.

Meng Lei was not in a hurry.

Simon has a wealth of experience in underwater warfare, and he certainly knows what to react to when.

Since he didn't move, it proved that he had his own plans.

Sure enough, the two swift dragons swayed wildly to break through the water, opened their bloody mouths full of fangs, and were about to rush to the front.

And in the short-distance communication headset, Huo Ye's exclamation also sounded at the same time.

Under the shocked gaze of several people, Simon, who was wearing a red combat diving suit, suddenly raised his foot and kicked the rock wall.

And the moment before, he had put down the assault rifle in his hand and grabbed the underwater thruster strapped to his waist instead.

With the momentum of pedaling, he dodged through the gap between the two swift dragons.

Underwater thruster activated.

Simon quickly got out of danger with great speed and escaped from the left and right attacks of the two sea monsters.

"Beautiful!"

Seeing this, Meng Lei couldn't help but yell excitedly.

In that case, Simon's composure was definitely far beyond ordinary people!

Moreover, his prediction of the angle of the monster's attack, as well as the grasp of the timing of getting out, are simply exquisite.

If there is the slightest mistake, he will probably be cut off by the waist.

"Holy, Brother Simon, you're so handsome! What a cheat! ”

Huo Ye also shouted excitedly in the headphones, and at that moment just now, he was scared a lot.

However, even if Simon was temporarily out of danger, the situation still did not improve much.

The two mire dragons couldn't regain their momentum, and directly hit the hard rock, and immediately hit the meat and eight vegetarians.

At the same time, it also completely stimulates their instinctive ferocity.

Adjust your posture as fast as you can.

The two monsters no longer attacked in teams, but fought separately, charging towards Hawke and Simon again.

Simon still had the underwater thruster in his hand, and immediately swam away, circling back and forth in the surroundings, constantly circling with one of the swift dragons.

And Hawke can't be as flexible as Simon.

He himself wears an ordinary wetsuit and has limited underwater movements.

In addition, the mire swift dragon swims quite fast, far exceeding the average gray algae crawler.

In about a few breaths, the swift dragon rushed to Hawke's eyes.

Hawke fired desperately, trying to dislodge the creeper with fire, crushing it from the attack.

However, although he played with the electromagnetic cannon very well, his shooting skills were obviously not on the same level.

The extremely agile figure of the swift dragon made it impossible for him to lock on to the target at all, and most of the bullets missed.

When the two are about to come into contact at the moment!

In the end, Hawke could barely avoid his body and dodge the fatal blow.

But inevitably, he was affected by the huge body of the mire swift dragon, and he was knocked out of the water on the spot, and began to spin uncontrollably.

It wasn't until his body hit a rock wall on the side that he finally stopped.

It was as if my whole body was falling apart, and I was in a lot of pain everywhere.

"Captain, you gather fire to get rid of that guy as soon as possible, I can't contain it for too long alone!"

At this time, Simon's voice came from the headphones.

He was alone, still wrestling with another swift dragon.

The cramped and cramped structure of the cave greatly limited his range of movement, and even with the thrusters in hand, there was not enough space to use them.

"Good!"

Meng Lei replied loudly, and immediately called Huo Ye:

"Lao Huo, come here and do this first!"

As he spoke, he swam towards Hawke with a shotgun in hand.

At this time, the huge and fierce swift dragon failed to strike, and immediately turned its head in the distance and slaughtered again.

Meng Lei was clinging to the cold rock wall, staring at the swift dragon with his eyes, calmly analyzing the opponent's offensive line.

Then when the terrifying body rushed into the range of the shotgun, he immediately pulled the trigger fiercely!

There was a muffled sound of "bang".

Meng Lei imitated Simon in the same way, and kicked the rock wall, narrowly avoiding the killing of the Swift Menglong.

However, when he left the rock wall, his body had nowhere to focus.

The fierce surging water immediately swept him uncontrollably and began to wander around, similar to the situation of Hawke just now.

Suddenly, the sky swirled, and everything in front of me instantly became a lake.

At this moment, he didn't know what part of the Xunmenglong had been hit by the shot he had just shot.

My mind was so dizzy that I couldn't even control my arm to grasp the thrusters.

However, the sound in the headphones is indicative.

His shot, it seems to have worked well.

"That monster is injured, old Huo...... No, what's wrong with old Barbara Hamm?! ”

Huo Ye's words were obviously said to Hawke.

"My surname is Barham!"

Amid the continuous firing of the assault rifle, Hawke's somewhat helpless voice came.

"Oh yes, right, Balham, Balham...... Brother Laoba, hurry up and hit it, this monster has been blasted out of a big hole in its stomach, take advantage of its illness to kill it! ”

As the two spoke, chaotic gunshots rang out one after another.

With the terrible scream of the Swift Dragon, there was chaos all around.

When Meng Lei finally came back to his senses, he finally stabilized his body and looked around dizzily.

only to find that he had been swept to the edge of the battlefield by the water brought up by the swift dragon when he was shuttling quickly.

"I'll go! That's a bit too much, isn't it?! ”

Silently scolding, Meng Lei immediately took out the thruster tied to his waist and rejoined the battle.

Finally, under the joint efforts of the three of them.

The belly was fired at close range by a shotgun, and the crippled mire swift dragon was directly injured, and he hated the scene on the way to escape the battlefield.

However, during this period, Huo Ye and Hawke were also injured to varying degrees.

Not only was his body sore, but Hawke had been bitten again just now, which directly caused half of his leg to be unconscious.

Fortunately, the wetsuit is made of excellent material, and there is no cutting corners, so there is no need to worry about the risk of water leakage or pressure imbalance for the time being.

The two adult mire dragons were finally killed, and Simon stopped going around in circles with the last monster.

The four of them opened fire in unison, and in an instant, there was a rain of bullets.

The last swift dragon also seemed to realize that the situation was over, and after a few shots, it let out a hiss, then turned around and began to flee frantically.

"This guy is going to run! Let's get rid of it as soon as possible, or it will call in a helping hand from somewhere else later! ”

Simon reminded loudly.

Several people grabbed the underwater thrusters and chased them all the way, shuttling back and forth in the deep and dark cavern.

chased a distance of nearly 100 meters.

At last

Finally, the swift dragon was blocked in a dead end, and a concentrated fire turned it into a hornet's nest.

The crisis is over, but the task is not yet complete.

The big monster has been killed, but the lair has not yet been found.

And according to Simon, the number of guardians in the Swift Dragon's lair is generally about five, but only three have appeared so far.

Or a few monsters guarding the perimeter of the lair.

Or, there may be a mature Swift Dragon Guardian nearby.

The carapace on the surface of that monster's body is even harder, covering almost the whole body, and it is difficult for small-caliber weapons to break through the defense!

Therefore, Meng Lei didn't care about picking up the corpse at the moment.

Decisively ordered a few people to immediately launch a search in the vicinity to find the location of the Swift Dragon's lair as soon as possible.

Five minutes later, Huo Ye's side was the first to make a discovery.

When everyone was guided by the flares and the beacons left along the way, they came to the place where Huo Ye was.

It was found to be a large, empty cavern, and the sight inside was a tingling sight.

The entire surface rock layer of the cave is covered with a thick layer of deep-sea algae plants, and a large number of unknown dry bones and flesh remains are scattered in a messy manner.

As far as the eye can see, the entire cave is full of minced meat and remains, extremely bloody and terrifying.

That picture definitely compares to the creeper's lair in the abandoned outpost.

"Oh my god! How many creatures did these monsters hunt? Isn't it wasted if you can't eat so much meat and throw it here? ”

Huo Ye took a deep breath and expressed his doubts.

Meng Lei was in no mood to talk nonsense with him here, and asked Simon through the earphones:

"The mission requirement is to destroy the Swift Dragon's lair, how can it be destroyed? We can't burn it again!? ”

Simon threw a light stick and lit up the cavern.

Then, as he swam around, rummaging through the bones of the corpses, he said:

"The ultimate goal of the destruction mission is to kill the guardians of the lair, and in addition, to destroy the Swift Dragon Eggs here.

The key to this is the Swift Dragon Egg!

Sometimes, when the situation is urgent, if you don't have time to take the eggs away and sell them, you just destroy them on the spot.

If you have the chance, pack the eggs and bring them back to the boat.

Anyway, as long as you don't stay here and let them continue to breed. ”

Hearing this, Meng Lei nodded.

Then he beckoned Huo Ye and Huo Ke to work together to rummage in the cave.

A moment later, several people found a total of six Swift Dragon Eggs in this underwater cave.

Simon's voice was a little agitated.

"Six eggs! Let's say we can sell it for 3,000 marks! There are so many eggs in a small nest, and this time it's really profitable! ”

Meng Lei was also overjoyed.

The original bounty for the task of cleaning up the lair was 5,500 marks!

When I turned around and sold the eggs, I got another three thousand marks.

This time I went to sea and took on a total of two tasks, and the average income of each task was about 8,000 marks.

This speed of making money is absolutely beyond the reach of most people!

However, Meng Lei was not carried away by the huge gain.

He vaguely felt that the crisis had not really been resolved.

Ever since Simon discovered that there was something wrong with the number of Nest Keepers, his nerves had been tense and he didn't dare to take it lightly.

If it weren't for the fact that the task had not been completed at that time, he would have taken people away directly.

At the moment, now that the mission goal has been achieved.

Meng Lei didn't plan to stay here any longer, and he said anything about returning to the ship beforehand, so he decisively shouted:

"Okay, Huo Ye and Simon, the three of us, each holding two eggs.

Hawke, you have a leg injury and can't move, so you don't need to take it, bring a gun and follow the team to break down.

Let's get started and get back now! ”

After explaining, everyone acted according to Meng Lei's instructions, and then set off quickly.

The eggs of the Mire Swift Dragon are huge, one can be worth two and a half footballs!

Meng Lei's arm span is about one meter seventy-five, which can hold two Xunmeng dragon eggs in his arms, and he still feels a little crowded.

In this way, only by double. The power brought by the swing of the legs naturally slows down the swimming speed.

The distance from the surface to the lair is about 300 meters long, which normally takes less than five minutes, but it takes nearly ten minutes to get back.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

If it weren't for the diving suits that everyone is wearing now, they all use liquid oxygen tanks, which greatly prolongs the diving time.

This is a battle and an egg-hunting, and it will definitely not last until now.

The crowd followed the beacons left behind on the road and returned from the cracks that crisscrossed the seabed.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way.

However, just when Meng Lei and the others had already seen the sea locust hovering overhead, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the headphones, there was a sudden solemn roar from Hawke:

"Quick, accelerate, there's something down there!

The size was huge, and I only saw a shadow, as if it was a mature Swift Dragon! ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked!

The one who should have come finally came, in this Swift Dragon Lair, there is really a big guy hidden!

"Xu Hui! Xu Hui! Are you there! ”

Meng Lei immediately swung desperately double. legs, and at the same time loudly called out to Xu Hui who stayed on the boat in the headphones.

As long as the base station is not shielded, all crew members can hear the short-haul communication headset within the signal transmission range.

At this time, I heard Xu Hui answer:

"Commander, I'm here! What are the commands? ”

Meng Lei said urgently: "You go to the artillery control room immediately, aim at this crack where we came out, and hit me hard when you see a monster to cover our evacuation!" ”

I have to say that Meng Lei's brain is also turning relatively fast.

At this moment of crisis, I thought of this way to get out.

Xu Hui also knew what was going on through the headphones, and immediately responded:

"Yes! I'll be there right away! ”

As he spoke, Xu Hui quickly ran to the artillery control room, and then grabbed the laser turret at the bottom of the submarine.

At this time, follow the fart. Hawke, who was broken off at the back of the thigh, suddenly shouted:

"It's too late! The hell is catching up! ”

Hearing this, Meng Lei couldn't help but glance back while desperately swimming forward.

It was seen in the afterglow of the lighting sticks.

A huge black shadow flashed through the depths of the rift below.

Suddenly, the sea water swelled violently, and the shaking waves distorted the vision.

Immediately after, an extra-large swift dragon, which was more than a lap larger than the few swift dragons they had killed just now, drilled out of the crack in the bottom of the sea like lightning.

Because the light was too dim, Meng Lei couldn't see its appearance clearly.

It's just that I vaguely feel that the color of its body surface is much deeper, and it seems to be covered with a hard nail stomach, with sharp edges and corners.

With its huge and terrifying size, at first glance, it looks like a Transformer.

Remembering what Hans had said before, Meng Lei couldn't help but gasp:

"Holy! Those alien natives actually use this thing as a pet and a companion?! There is also a sprint race?!

This special mother is really a little bit unthinkable! ”

silently spit out, and a strong sense of horror spread all over the body.

Meng Lei immediately burst out of all his potential, turned his legs into propellers, and swam desperately in the direction of the Sea Locust airlock.

As the saying goes, people don't talk much!

The same goes for these alien sea monsters!

The mature mire swift dragon that emerged from the rift did not roar at every turn like the other young people in the group.

Ever since the fight appeared, it has remained absolutely silent.

However, the movements were extremely fast, full of heavy killing opportunities, and the target was clearly aimed at Meng Lei and the others.

Hawke, who stayed behind the break, desperately pulled the trigger, but couldn't stop the opponent's charge at all.

Gritting his teeth, Hawke decisively pulled a grenade from his waist and aimed the catapult device at the rift abyss beneath his feet.

As soon as he let go, he dragged the underwater thruster without looking back, and floated upwards like a desperate person.

After a short delay, only a shocking explosion was heard.

A huge wave of energy suddenly erupted in the darkness, and then swept in all directions.

The powerful power generated by the grenade explosion finally caused a brief pause in the footsteps of the mature swift dragon chasing and killing.

The huge body froze, obviously affected a lot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone quickly distanced themselves.

At the same time, Xu Hui, who was waiting for the laser battery, finally adjusted the appropriate shooting angle.

Seeing that Meng Lei and the others had fled beyond the coverage of the shipborne battery, Xu Hui did not hesitate and immediately pressed the launch button on the periscope.

"Huh!"

A brilliant three-pronged laser shot out.

Although it was only a flash in the pan, it left a hole in the body of the mature mire swift dragon with obvious burn marks.

The flesh disappeared in an instant, and the wound was roasted by the heat.

No blood spilled out, only a hole in the black carapace.

The caliber is not large, but it is shocking.

As soon as the blow was successful, Xu Hui immediately let out a cheer, and then his subordinates continued to shoot without stopping.

At this time, the terrifying deep-sea monster finally felt the crisis.

also aware that in this case,

It is obviously impossible to tear apart the few aliens who poached its offspring.

Eventually, the terrifying deep-sea monster let out a terrible scream.

The thick and powerful tail swept across the seabed, stirring up large swaths of sediment and rising like a cloud of smoke and dust, turning and disappearing into the cracks in the seabed covered by sediment and sediment.

In the cabin of the Sea Locust, Meng Lei and several people sat on the ground panting.

His face was pale for the rest of his life.

In the last stretch, everyone burst to their full potential.

While draining his physical energy, his body was completely soaked with sweat, and he was embarrassed.

Still, everyone has a smile in their eyes.

Although this mission was dangerous, the result was very happy.

The only person on the field who couldn't laugh was Hawk, who was bitten by the swift dragon and lame.

Since coming out of the water to the shore, the sudden increase in pressure suddenly caused him to suffer a leg injury, and he could no longer stand up, and collapsed directly to the ground.

Meng Lei took a breath and gently placed the Xunmeng Dragon Egg in his arms on the ground.

He patted Hawke on the shoulder, turned his head and shouted into the cabin:

"Gina! Gina! Come to work, come out and work! ”

After a short time, Gina, who was tall and graceful, twisted her graceful figure and climbed up from the shaft passage without hurrying.

Straight slender double. With light dance steps, like a dancer ready to appear at any time, he came to several people lightly.

"Dear little captain, what can I do?"

A soft voice sounded.

Meng Lei pointed to the pale, sweaty Hawke:

"Hawk was bitten on the leg by the Swift Dragon, show him if it's serious!"

While speaking, the diving suit on Hawke's body had been ripped off by Simon and Huo Ye.

At this time, everyone discovered that Hawke's left leg pants had been stained with a large area of blood.

When he lifted his trouser leg, he saw that Hawk's left calf was slightly deformed, bulging out a large piece, and it was bleeding from the skin to the outside.

It seems that the injury is not light.

Meng Lei didn't expect that Hawke's injury was so serious.

I didn't see him say anything just now, so I thought it was nothing serious.

Who knows, it has been so serious.

however

Gina swept her eyes, but showed a disapproving expression, and said lightly:

"It's just a broken bone, a small operation can solve it, it's not a big deal."

"The bones are broken...... Isn't that a big deal......? ”

Regarding Gina's attitude, Meng Lei felt a little unhappy and was about to have a seizure.

At this time, Simon also breathed a sigh of relief, patted Hawke's shoulder, and said with a smile:

"It's okay, it's a small problem, as long as the leg is not broken, it's not a big deal, your luck is good enough!"

Hearing this, Meng Lei's reprimands came to his lips, and he forcibly held them back again.

There was a touch of shock and confusion on his face, and his head was buzzing.

Does this alien have this attitude towards injuries and illnesses?

Is it because they have big hearts, or is the level of medical care here beyond their own understanding?

Under the bewildered gazes of Meng Lei and Huo Ye, Simon carried Hawke on his back and walked towards the medical cabin with Gina.

On the way, he also left a sentence to Meng Lei.

"Captain, the Swift Dragon Egg can't stay in the air for a long time, throw these things into the ballast tank and stay in the water to stay alive, don't forget!"

With that, the three of them disappeared into the shaft passage.

Leaving Huo Ye and Meng Lei looking at each other......
