Chapter 9: The First Generation of Akrid

The attacking schools of bone fish were like arrows, and because of their flat bodies, they ambushed in the air at an astonishing speed of one and a half meters a second.

"Knock them down!" Hearing the sound of the air breaking behind him, Karn, who distanced himself from Akrid, immediately pulled out his assault rifle and shot at the swarm of bony fish.

Whoosh!

In the face of the attacking school of bone fish, Su Jingtian and Karn retreated and shot wildly, but because the group of bone fish was too fast, it was not three seconds before they pulled the trigger, and the school of bone fish hit their chests.

Father!

Before Su Jingtian could get up from the ground, Akrid had already rushed towards him with his huge body, and before he could roll and dodge again, Akrid had already raised his sharp forelimbs and slashed at him.

"Boss!" Seeing the boss he had just met being killed by Akrid, Karn looked incredulous, but he didn't expect the boss he had only known for a day to die in front of him, and in a fit of rage, he took out a modified lightning bomb from his backpack and threw it at Akrid's head.

Bang!

A huge explosion sounded from Akrid's head, accompanied by a roar from Akrid, and the flames generated after detonation instantly enveloped Akrid's upper body.

Roar!

Just when Karn thought that Akrid would be killed by a lightning bomb, a roar rang out from the smoke, and with Karn's shock, Akrid walked out of the outbreak area intact.

"I'll you!" Watching the unscathed Akrid walk out of the blast area, Karn turned and ran, in his opinion, the guy who couldn't even kill the thunderbolt would not be able to stay any longer, and for the dead boss, Karn could only mourn for him for three seconds in his escape.

"Damn Karn, you almost blew me up!" Just as Karn turned to run away, Su Jingtian's voice came from behind him.

Karn, who heard the voice, was also stunned, but when he looked back, Su Jingtian was standing behind Akrid.

Su Jingtian looked at Akrid's huge body and was now trembling, the attack just now really almost killed him, but at the critical moment, the red-eyed spider used metal spider silk to pull him back from the brink of death.

Just when Su Sedum was rejoicing, he looked up and saw the thunderbolt that Karn threw at Akrid's head, if he wasn't far enough away at the time, he would have been within the blast range, but that's it, the sonic boom from the thunderbolt also lifted him away.

In the face of Su Jingtian's complaint to Karn, Akrid, who was in the middle of the two people, immediately swung his forelimbs and slashed at Su Jingtian again.

Faced with the same attack, Su Jingtian threw an electric explosive grenade at the Akrid joint, and at the moment of throwing the electric explosive grenade, Su Jingtian quickly used the Assault rifle to attack the electric explosive grenade while moving quickly.

Bang!

It seems that Su Jingtian calculated, when the electric explosion grenade approached Akrid's left forelimb, the grenade suddenly detonated in advance, and with the explosion, the upper part of Akrid's left forelimb was blown off.

—800 (Critical Hit)

As the upper part of Akrid's left forelimb is blown off, 800 critical damage appears on his head.

Father!

The extremity being blown off didn't seem to make Akrid feel pain, Akrid just tilted his head to look at the left forelimb that was missing the upper part, and let out a low voice, using the strength of the hindlimb to maintain the balance of his body and use the other forelimb to attack Su Sedum.

Faced with this single attack, Su Jingtian easily dodged and climbed onto Akrid's tail with the hook placed on his wrist.

Su Jingtian, who climbed up to the tail of Akrid with the hook lock, dragged the hook lock with his left hand, and held the gun in his right hand to shoot desperately at the glowing area of the tail of Akrid.

Whoosh!

With a frenzied shot, a pale blue liquid began to flow from the glowing area of Akrid's tail.

—100 (Crit)

—312 (Critical Hit)

—288 (Critical Hit)

Roar!

Due to its huge size, Akrid swayed left and right without dropping the Su Sedum on his tail, and in anger, he let out a roar at the school of bone fish again.

The school of bony fish received the order and made a "cooing" sound towards Su Sedum on Akrid's tail.

In the face of the school of bone fish that attacked again, Su Jingtian was a little helpless, just when he was about to give up killing Akrid, the school of bone fish that attacked him was shot by bullets, Su Jingtian stabilized his body and saw that it was Karn, who was ignored by him, who shot at the school of bone fish.

With Karn's help, Su Jingtian finally managed to penetrate the most vulnerable part of Akrid's tail by emptying three bullet clips.

—978 (Crit)

As Akrid's tail was pierced by a bullet, a thick blue viscous liquid flowed out of it, and as the liquid continued to flow out, Akrid, who had been frantically struggling, gradually lost his ability to move, until finally, Akrid's body was erected in the Gobi like a stone sculpture.

[If you successfully kill an original Akrid, you will receive a special reward from the system, please choose one of the following three reward options.] 】

【Reward (1) XP: 5,000 points】

【Reward (2) Free Attribute: 1 point】

【Reward (3) Specialty Firearm: Plasma Cutting Gun】

"I'll it! This reward is too strong, isn't it? Looking at the kill reward, Su Jingtian didn't expect the kill reward to be so rich.

In the face of three rewards, Su Jingtian did not hesitate to choose the plasma cutting gun, and in the face of the plasma cutting gun, hesitating for a second is a great insult to it.

"Oh, Shet! The big guy is finally dead. Looking at Akrid, motionless, Karn snapped his fingers in delight.

"Boss, it scared the hell out of me, I thought you were dead just now, thank God you're still alive." Seeing Su Jingtian get down from the dead Akrid, Karn hurriedly greeted him.

"Damn Karn, your thunderblast almost blew me up too, be careful the next time you throw a grenade."

Su Jingtian, who put away the reward, saw Karn with a smile on his face as soon as he looked at Akrid, he was also speechless, and wanted to say a few words to him, but he remembered that the other party had just helped him resist the school of bone fish, and in the end, he could only ask him to pay attention to the next time he threw a grenade.

"By the way, Boss, what is this thing?" Karn knocked on the stiff Akrid with a questioning expression, he had never heard of such a thing under the Gobi Desert in all his years of being in the mercenary camp.

Facing Karn's curiosity, Su Jingtian looked at Akrid's body carefully and said lightly, "Do you remember the Ambrera Academy?" This thing is the experimental product of their research, according to the way they fought just now, this should be the product of a generation, but according to the records, wasn't the first generation of Akrid collectively destroyed under the supervision of the Cult of the Mechanicus? ”

"Boss, what kind of identity did you have before, you know so much!" Listening to Su Jingtian's story, Karn was also curious about the boss's past.

"My identity is not simple, everything I know is dead, do you want to know?"

Forehead!

Hearing this, Karn pursed his lips and did not answer.

"Pack your things and keep going!" After inspecting ammunition and other items, Susedum beckoned Karn to continue his journey toward the Nile.

"Huh! Boss, why are you still moving forward! Can't we take a detour? Ahead is the territory of the Ambrera Research Institute, what if you encounter Akrid? Seeing the boss continue to move in the direction of the Nile, he came up with the idea of a detour to Su Jingtian.

"It's impossible to make a detour, the water in our backpack was spilled in the battle with Akrid just now, and we can only go to the Nile to replenish water, and the detour represents an increase in accidents."

"And as long as we don't get close to the heart of the Nile, we're not in much danger."

Although Su Jingtian said that it was not very dangerous, but the attack of Akrid on the Gobi Desert made the next journey full of uncertainty, he looked at the remaining experience points and free attribute points, in order to be conservative, Su Jingtian decided to use the mechanical template to assimilate a flying unit.

Su Jingtian searched for flying creatures as he advanced, but in the scorching Gobi Desert, not to mention flying creatures, even the hard-working sand ants had to choose to come out at night to forage for food.

At first, Su Jingtian also wanted to assimilate the bone fish, but the bone fish and Akrid belong to a parasitic relationship, and Akrid is an experimental product of the Ambrera Research Institute, Su Jingtian does not want to involve an Ambrera Research Institute after involving the Black Banner Organization and the Black Gold Empire.

In addition, when the player invaded the headquarters of the Ambrera Research Institute in the previous life, it was learned from a secret document that the Mechanical Order seemed to be interested in the biological research of the Ambrera Research Institute.

"Boss, look, what's the white stuff in the sky?" Just as Su Jingtian was thinking, an exclamation from Karn was heard in his ears.

Su Jingtian looked up and followed Karn's finger to find that a flock of white birds flew quickly past them in the distance, and it should be the Nile River in the direction of flight.

Looking at the flock of cranes flying overhead, Su Jingtian's spirit was shocked, just now he was still thinking about how to get a flying creature, but the next second this flying creature appeared, looking at Karn who was still looking up at the flock of cranes, Su Jingtian had to admit that he might also be taken care of by the goddess of luck.

The crane bird is a third-level flying creature, and its own level is exactly matched.

Seeing that crane birds were migrating from the other side of the Gobi Desert to the Nile River one after another, Su Jingtian now only needed to find a way to get them to fall into the metal cobwebs woven by the red-eyed spiders.

"Karn, how many cans of fish do you have in your backpack?" Su Jingtian turned to Karn and asked Karn how many cans of fish he had.

"Yes, there are quite a few, you see all here."

Karn opened his backpack, and Su Jingtian saw that there was no shortage of fish cans that Karn had put up.

Pouring the fish jar from his backpack to the ground, Su Jingtian knitted a 10×10 metal cobweb at the red-eyed spider, and beckoned Karn to open all the fish jars together.

…………

"Boss, are you doing this?"

Hiding in the corner, Karn watched the fish scattered in the metal cobwebs in front of him once again being dragged away by a gerbil, and he questioned Su Jingtian's method of hunting the crane.

"You have to be calm, haven't you yet passed by a flock of cranes?" Su Jingtian didn't have any doubts about his own hunting method at all, after all, hunting often uses the most primitive way.

Quack!

With Su Jingtian's difficult waiting, he finally waited for the opportunity to close the net.

With the sound of "quack" and the sound of flapping wings, two British crane birds from the flock of British cranes gradually broke away from the flying unit and flew towards the fish and meat cans on the ground.

Faced with the fish meat close at hand on the ground, the two crane birds did not land in a hurry, but flew around twice before landing slowly.

As the two cranes fell into the trap, Su Jingtian immediately asked the red-eyed spider waiting on one side to close the net immediately.

Airplanes!

The sudden popping webs on the ground made the two birds restless, and they "croaked" and flared their wings desperately to get out of the cobwebs, and with their size, they seemed to have a chance to get out of trouble.

At this moment, the quick-eyed Su Jingtian rushed out of the hidden corner, grabbed the wings of a crane bird as it was about to fly, and then, with the help of Karn, who arrived later, Su Jingtian killed them one by one with a knife.

【Successfully kill Crane Bird × 2 and gain 100 XP】

Taking advantage of the freshness, Su Jingtian directly assimilated it mechanically.

[Mechanical Template] + [Level 2 Crane Bird×2] + [1 Emperor Refuge Value] + [1 Free Attribute] + [POW Locator] = ? (Success rate – 68%)

[Mechanical assimilation of the target will consume 1800 experience points, do you want to continue assimilation?] 】

In this mechanical assimilation, Su Jingtian added 1 Emperor Asylum and Prisoner Locator.

When I added 1 point of Dreador Shelter to the Iron Lizard, I gained the ability to teleport in subspace, and I don't know what special ability I will gain by adding 1 Emperor Shelter this time.

The reason why the POW locator was added at the end was also because Su Jingtian took a fancy to its positioning ability.

With the confirmation, the right arm of the machine once again jumped out of a large number of metal lines to quickly wrap the two crane birds on the ground and the prisoner of war locator, and gradually, a metal circle about half a meter high appeared in front of the two of them.

[Mechanical Assimilation Countdown: 10 minutes!] 】

Watching the Boss use psionic power again, Karn didn't blink at the metallic round object that appeared in front of him again.

Taking advantage of the countdown to assimilation, Su Jingtian opened the panel to check the attributes of the plasma cutting gun in the backpack.

[Firearm: Plasma Cutting Gun]

"This thing is the best of novice firearms." Looking at the plasma cutting gun in his hand, Su Jingtian looked very satisfied.

The Plasma Cutter not only has a 34% crit chance and a 22% crit bonus, but also comes with three firearm skills.

Just as Su Jingtian was about to try the power of the plasma cutting gun, the system's prompt sound sounded in his ears.
