Volume 1 Bronze Mask Chapter 9 Mutant Beast
"Tick-"
The first drops of morning dew streaked through the criss-crossed texture of oak leaves and fell into the open spout of the marching jug hanging below.
The crisp sound spread in all directions, like a morning bell, waking up the sleeping forest and the sleeping people.
A golden bolt of lightning silently scurried up to the treetops, biting down on the marching jug, its sharp fangs making a clear row of teeth on the steel jug, and the dew collected in the jug squeezed and spilled out onto the barbed pink tongue.
The characteristics of this mutant creature are basically the same as Zhao Fang's description.
The prey took the bait.
The cool and sweet taste is transmitted from the taste buds on the tip of the tongue to the central nervous system, making the mutated tiger leopard can't help but let out a happy moan.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, its body tensed and prostrate down, the hairs on its back stood up like steel needles, its amber pupils suddenly contracted and turned into a blood-red mass, and its thick tail swayed uneasily.
"......"
With a piercing sound of piercing air, a long arrow pierced through the narrow gap between the heavy branches and shot at the back of the tiger-striped leopard's neck at a tricky angle.
The archer is very experienced, and the location of the ambush is the blind spot of his vision.
Seeing that the sharp arrow was about to hit the vital point, the tiger leopard was unpredictable, and its body suddenly bounced up, accurately avoiding the arrow path. The long arrow whistled away in a strong wind, stomping on the hair on the back of its neck.
The tiger leopard was completely enraged, and with a low roar, it swooped in the direction of the arrow, which seemed to be faster than the arrow just now.
The scarlet pupils had locked on the bow-wielding boy hiding beside the tree, and his sharp teeth glowed with a bloodthirsty cold light!
The boy seemed to be frightened and stupid, and he was so stiff that he stood there and did not dodge. It's just that his heroic eyes are full of mockery and disdain.
"Poof—"
The tiger leopard felt a stinging pain coming from its abdomen, and it bowed its head in disbelief, and a long knife with black fire pierced through its body at some point, and red blood gushed out of the wound like a spring. Its vitality was also eaten away by the eerie black flames. The intertwined tones of bright red and pitch black make it particularly bewitching and beautiful.
The color of life turned out to be so crystal pure. It was the last time it looked into the world. The farewell came unexpectedly, and it was too late to give birth to a trace of reluctance and nostalgia.
A lifeless corpse rolled to the ground, splashing a cloud of fallen leaves and dirt.
"One, two, three...... Twenty-nine! ”
Chen Yu counted silently in his heart.
In the next second, the quiet jungle came to life, and the leaves shook one after another.
Countless vines poked out of the dense canopy, snaking down like a huge swarm of snakes, and the sharp branches cracked between the bloody holes, inserting into the corpse of the mutant beast, making a tooth-aching sucking sound. Beneath the ground, wrinkled roots creaked out of the ground, joining in the bloody feast.
In the wastelands, plants are not necessarily at the bottom of the food chain, and some have mutated their ability to hunt. And because of the number of populations, once marked as the enemy of the forest...... You need to pray as soon as possible for a good baby in your next life!
After the "banquet" was over, Chen Yu took out the long knife still inserted in the body of the tiger-striped leopard, and habitually rubbed it on the soft hair on its abdomen, even if there was not a trace of blood on the knife.
He lightly buckled the blade of the knife, and the black fire suddenly lit up, and then wrapped in the long knife and magically disappeared out of thin air!
The only regret is that after the mutation, the flesh of the tiger leopard is sour and astringent, and there is a slight neurotoxin in the blood, which cannot be used as a ration.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
Several bullets came unexpectedly, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and then a cloud of dust and smoke rose on the soft soil covered with fallen leaves, drilling several deep and clear bullet holes.
However, in the sniper scope, there is no blurred scene of flesh and blood as imagined by the gunman. Because the figure hit by the bullet slowly dissipated like smoke.
What was hit was just a phantom.
In an instant, under the pressure of a strong sense of crisis, Chen Yu's pupils were filled with purple, and the [Pupil of True Vision] operated on its own, and he could see clearly a few invisible black lines wrapped around his chest, which was the trajectory of fate.
It is precisely because of his special perception of deadly danger that he has been able to escape several life-and-death crises. This time was no exception.
The galloping essentia instantly covered his calves, his body became as light as a feather, and he exerted force on his toes, taking several steps back, and avoiding the deadly trajectory in time.
"M76 sniper rifle ......"
In the shadows, Chen Yu hung upside down from the treetops, silently chanting in his heart. At the same time, his arms were stretched back and forth, his left arm stretched straight forward, and his right arm stretched the tough bowstring to the limit, and the bow was stretched like a full moon, and the arrow was pointed directly at the gunman's position.
A sturdy young man with a height of 1.9 meters came out of the shadows and sneered:
"Miles, don't you keep saying that you don't miss a shot? Now, in the performance of the accuracy of shooting air? ”
"Oh, I see, you must have been squeezed dry by that woman last night, that's why you can't hold the gun steadily!"
"Shut up, Joe! I didn't have any problems with my body and technique. Miles' annoyed voice rang out in the communication channel, "This kid is weird, I'm sure, this kid is probably a year-old keeper above the first stage!" ”
"The Keeper?" Joe raised an eyebrow and repeated. If it's an awakened person in the Guardian Sequence, the nerve reaction speed and physical fitness are exaggerated enough to avoid bullets, which is reasonable. He already believed this statement in his heart.
"Wait...... Where have people gone, and I've locked them up......"
"Sting, stinging, stinging—"
Miles' exclamation was abruptly interrupted by the screeching sound of electricity.
Joe instantly changed color, a dark cloud enveloped his brows, and he hurriedly called out in the call channel, "Miles, Miles......"
“……”
No one responded.
"Damn, everyone on alert, search in the direction of 12 o'clock."
The fellow Hu team is not mediocre, they are all veterans of the front-line troops of the Federation, they are athletic, and have rich combat experience.
As soon as Joe's order was issued, everyone in the team formed a fan-like net and quietly outflanked him.
A moment later, the voice came from the communication channel again:
"Young Master, find Miles, he ...... He had no vital signs. ”
Qiao was stunned, and then his chest was filled with skyrocketing anger, and his expression became hideous and distorted, "Damn, Miles is dead, how can I explain to my aunt." Slaughtered that pariah...... for me."
"No, catch him alive, I'm going to make him worse than dead!"
