Chapter 194: Lost Squad?
Da Da Da ~ "Who!?"
The sound of leather boots trampling in the gray ruins in front of you stirred up the pinnacle team that had been exploring the map!
In this hellish place, the slightest abnormal sound will make people nervous.
Ten men raised their guns and aimed in the direction from which the sound was coming from.
Da Da Da ~ The sound of leather boots came closer, and the old Cerberus jumped in front of the crowd, a large mouthful of flame in his mouth, ready to spew hot flames and break through the fog.
The 10 people are surrounded by summons, and although they may not be able to resist the invisible attacks of the Ethereal Spirit, it will still alert the player if the Ethereal Spirit passes through their bodies.
At this time, the Mane Bear King was put away by the demon fox, because it was too large, and it would always be attacked by the ethereal spirit when it walked upright, and the players were not easy to defend.
The output of the Mane Bear King is half of the physical + cold damage, of which its stunt Blizzard can cause a large ice magic storm, and if it is released here, it can cause a lot of damage to the range of ethereals, but the cooldown time is very long, and the demon fox regards it as the finale skill, once it is besieged by the ethereal spirits, it summons the Maned Bear King to change the tide of battle.
At this time, hearing the unusual movement, the demon fox touched the pattern of the bear king on his left arm, ready to summon at any time.
"Don't shoot! We are human! ”
Out of the gray fog came 12 warriors wearing the uniforms of the Human Alliance, 10 men and 2 women.
The leader still has a lot of stars on his shoulders, and although players don't know much about the military ranks in the game, they can roughly know that this is a relatively high-ranking officer.
The thin dog asked vigilantly, "Where are you troops?" How can it be in the wild? This is not a place where humans can stay for long. ”
"We are the garrison of the Soul Destroying Fortress, we went out to hunt ethereal spirits and collect [Red Spirit Powder], and we were attacked by a group of psychedelic ghosts on the way, and we didn't find ourselves lost until we walked here."
The players glanced at each other, and they all saw each other's inquiring looks.
"Are these real people or ethereal spirits?"
"Out of nowhere, a gang popped up in the wild. It's really weird, you have to be careful. ”
"I think they have shadows, they should be NPCs, right? Will there be any hidden quests? ”
"We don't know them either, but I've seen the map given by the Nangong Divine Envoy, and it seems that there is a stronghold called the Spirit Exterminating Fortress around."
"By the way, what are the [Red Spirit Powder] they are talking about? The thing I just collected? ”
Lao Ao took out his bottle, and there was white powder in it that shimmered with a little blue light.
As if hearing their words, the officer explained: "Oh no. What you are holding in your hands is [Green Spirit Powder], the substance left after the death of the lowest-level Void Spirit, and the [Red Spirit Powder] we are looking for is the high-level Void Spirit Death that will only appear, and it is necessary to make a three-star ghost slaying weapon. ”
"You don't seem to know much about our side of things, are you a new volunteer from the Alliance? Which base? ”
The players saw that the other party was discussing with them very clearly, and everyone looked normal, and the others were still deliberately guarding against the attack of the ethereal, and they had lowered their suspicions.
The thin dog said, "Yes, we are volunteers who just came here, in Soul Town. ”
"Hey, we're almost in Soul Town, it looks like we've been misguided all day. It's getting dark, we've run out of defenses, and we can't spend the night outside, can you take us back to Soul City to rest and recuperate? As remuneration. I'm willing to give you some hedrons. ”
"By the way, my name is Gao Shouben, and I am the captain of this hunting team, a third-order peak cultivator."
The players looked at each other and put down the guns they had been holding.
"Bored and Wei Kunchen, you two get closer and take a look"
"Okay."
The two of them are the meatiest front row in the team, and this dangerous work is naturally entrusted to them.
Gao Shouben smiled: "You have the basic qualities of a soldier in the Eastern Battlefield, and it is always right to be cautious, after all, there are more pollution incidents recently." ”
Hearing this, the demon fox suddenly raised his head and glanced at him, then nodded thoughtfully.
"Finch Food."
The two players stepped forward and rubbed and nodded.
"There is a temperature, the heart is alive, it is a living person."
"I can't feel the cold breath, and I haven't detected other energies, all of them are at the level of a third-order evolutionary, so it should be fine."
The player has a detection robot on his body, which can accurately detect biological energy below the fourth order.
The fourth-order ones can only be detected vaguely, and there is a possibility of being discovered, as for the fifth-order. The Clown King once tested Zhao Hongwu, and the invisible nanobots were melted into the air before they could touch his hair
I didn't understand it before, but I thought it was designed by game mechanics.
I found out later. It was the passive defense of a fifth-order realmer, and he himself had always been in his realm.
After checking it several times, players seem to have confirmed the identities of the 12 lost soldiers.
The thin dog smiled: "Okay, then come back to Soul City with us, this road is indeed too dangerous for you."
"Thank you, the Human Alliance is with you!"
At this time, the fine dog asked with interest, "What can you do with the [Red Spirit Powder] you just said?" ”
"Three-star ghost slaying weapons, which can restrain all ethereal spirits, in the eastern battlefield, every soldier has his own ghost slaying weapon, which is very important!"
"Whispering Demon Slashing Weapon."
10 players return to Soul City with 12 lost soldiers, chatting about ghost-slaying weapons on the way.
After Gao Shouben's teaching, the pinnacle team learned a lot of techniques on how to fight the ethereal spirits.
Among them, the ghost slaying weapon is a general term, using a special process to add the spirit powder naturally generated by the death of the ethereal spirit to the process of weapon making, and the final weapon will be accompanied by a high amount of ethereal spirit damage.
The higher the level of the spirit powder, the stronger the damage increase ability.
The lowest-level [Green Spirit Pink] can only add about 20% damage, the more advanced [Yellow Spirit Pink] can increase damage by 50%, and the higher-level [Red Spirit Pink] can increase damage by 100%.
[Red Spirit Pink] only has a chance of appearing when the Void Spirit above the third order dies, and their team is out to find the Third Order Void Spirit to hunt.
The players also took note of this information.
"There seems to be a blacksmith shop in Soul Town, and the craftsman NPCs in it should be able to make ghost slaying weapons for us, but it is estimated that we have to provide high-level spirit powder by ourselves, after all, I think that Soul Town City is mainly defending the city, and there are very few soldiers who go out to hunt."
Lin Tang spoke his reasoning.
Lao Bai: "Alas, I went out for a few laps today, and all I met were small minions, all of them were [Qingling Powder], I wasted too much time, I guess I won't be able to get [Red Spirit Powder] today, go back and ask the Nangong Divine Envoy to see where I can brush it out, and go to brush it early in the morning!" ”
The demon fox said thoughtfully: "There is a high probability that you can get some [Red Spirit Powder] today. ”
Lao Bai pouted: "Forget it, the planners and NPCs have always said that the Eastern Battlefield is very dangerous at night, let's not take risks, the clone warehouse of the base has not been set up yet." ”
They also carried the construction drawings of nanorobots and infrastructure given by Cheng Xianfeng, and as long as there are corresponding materials, they can automatically build a base.
But they didn't expect the Eastern Battlefield to be so backward!
There is simply not enough steel and plastic to be found in the city, because this side is fighting against the ethereal spirit, ordinary guns are completely useless, even the city wall is only a symbolic stone low wall, the ethereal spirit has no substance, it can penetrate at any time, no matter how high it is, it is useless.
And the inhabitants of the city spend most of their day praying, and that's what they do.
The rest of the time it would be nice to grow some food crops, and there was little time to take advantage of modern industry.
They don't use steel at all, and naturally they don't have much storage.
Players asked Nangong God for it, and the city warehouse naturally didn't have much storage for them.
The pinnacle team can only find a way to get the materials and build the starting base.
On the way back to the city.
The thin dog even pulled Gao Shouben to talk about skills together, and secretly learned 2 very useful [general skills] from him.
[Weapon Enchantment]: You can attach different energy attributes to a weapon according to your own energy attributes, so that the person using this weapon can additionally attach attribute attacks when attacking.
The players are flowing with no attribute crystal energy, and after learning, they can attach any attribute attack to the weapon, which is very useful.
[Plateau Blood]: After opening, you can greatly increase your speed, and you are immune to most negative states, whether it is attacking or escaping, it is a very useful skill, but the cooldown time is a bit long, and it only lasts 1 minute when you open it once, but it has to cool down for 1 hour, which belongs to the skill of pressing the bottom of the box.
After getting the two skills, the thin dog was even happier.
The Lost Squad also laughed happily, as if they were honored to have the friendship of the Summit Squad.
After all, in their opinion. The strength of the people in the pinnacle squad is unfathomable.
After walking for 1 hour, they were almost in sight of Soul Town.
Gao Shouben's eyes flashed a wisp of cyan mist, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked.
"Let's go, let's go into town!"
The other 11 members of the team were also excited.
"Uh, wait a minute, to thank you for the knowledge and skills you have taught. Before I enter the city, I have a small gift for you. ”
The demon fox stopped and said seriously.
Gao Shouben waved his hand: "No, no, I can't get out without you, we're too tired and need to go into the city to rest, let's go in quickly." ”
The 12 of them were desperate to enter the city.
The demon fox smiled and said, "I think it's better to give you the gift outside the city, I'm afraid when I get to the city. Soiled the ground. ”
"Huh? What do you mean? Gao Shouben turned his head.
He was greeted by a thin dog's insect knife.
"Instant Slash!"
With a flip of his wrist, three green blades burst out in an instant, slashing straight at Gao Shouben's body.
Puff puff!
Three extremely deep blood marks appeared on his chest, directly knocking out nearly half of his blood volume!
The three knives that erupted cut off three of his ribs, exposing the organs inside.
A cyan ghost baby looked at her in surprise.
It opened its mouth, but a voice came out of Takamorimoto's mouth, and he said in disbelief:
"You guys. . . How was it discovered? ”
The thin dog touched the cyan blood on the insect knife and sighed:
"Tsk, it's really a monster possessed by an ethereal spirit!"
"Until I made a move, I thought you were human"
"I have to say, you guys are so realistic! If it weren't for the demon fox's insight into a detail, I would have been deceived by you."
Gao Shouben turned his gaze to the demon fox, and in the short one-hour exchange that had just passed, he had memorized the information of several players.
By this time, the Pinnacle Squad and their summons had surrounded 12 Ethereal Spirits disguised as humans.
The demon fox said unhurriedly: "You seem to be some kind of special ethereal spirit, which can steal the memories of these soldiers, and even maintain the human way of acting, and the energy is not flawed, it is really difficult for ordinary people to find out." ”
"Even if we check it closely, we can't see the clues, but"
He burst out laughing.
"But! Aliens are still aliens after all, you disguise everything, but subconsciously still reveal your true thoughts, and the logic of behavior makes you ignore an important point."
The wound on Gao Shouben's stomach was rapidly squirming and healing, and his health was also rising, and he said with a gloomy face, "What did you ignore? ”
Demon Fox: "You never suspected that we were ethereal spirits!" ”
The 12 'lost soldiers' looked dazed and didn't seem to understand.
The blue in Gao Shouben's stomach became thicker and thicker, the green tendons on his body were exposed, and the face of the ghost baby in his stomach was superimposed on his original face undisguisedly, and the two faces were hideous and terrifying.
"You're not an ethereal spirit, so why should you doubt it!"
The demon fox was just about to speak, and Lin Tang, who had been holding back for a long time, jumped out.
"Fox big! Let me come, please! Suffocate me! ”
The demon fox spread his hands: "You are free, in fact, it doesn't matter if you talk to them or not, just kill the [Red Spirit Powder] directly." ”
"Nope! It's very so-called! The material can be brushed at any time, but pretending to be forced. But only this time! I'm recording all open, and it's impossible not to finish it! ”
Teammates: "6! ”
Bored: "It is worthy of being the leader of our group, this consciousness is really high!" ”
Wei Kunchen: "There is an inner taste!" ”
Lin Tang turned his head and said, "Position!" What is the position, you are the ethereal spirit, I am the human being, this is our respective position, you ethereal spirit is hidden in the dark and cannot be detected, we human beings can easily find it in the light. ”
"From the first moment you saw us, you never suspected that we were ethereal spirits, 12 people, not a single one of them suspected! Because you can easily recognize it. We are human! ”
"And real humans are suspicious of everything in the wild!"
"You're wrong because you know too much information! It's exposed! ”
Gao Shouben's mind wandered around for a while before he realized what it meant.
He said with a grim face: "What if it's just that it's easier for us to trust others? How can you be so sure that we are ethereals? ”
Lin Tang pointed to his wound that had healed and said, "Isn't this already telling you the answer?" ”
The ghost baby was furious, and the other 11 'people' were no longer hiding, each revealing its original appearance, and its strength increased rapidly, all reaching the level of the peak of the third order!
"Kill!" (End of chapter)
