Chapter 46: The White Blade
As the night grew darker, the hills beside the highway were illuminated by the blinding incandescent light.
Under the light of the searchlight carried on the vehicle, the monster's hideous face was completely presented in front of the besieging team. The anatomy of the body that had never been seen before was distorted and terrifying to everyone, and the oppressive feeling of the huge body became more and more clear under the clear lighting.
The mechanic used by the members of the Spear Squad shoots a magic bullet with specialized penetrating power, which is particularly effective against monsters protected by heavy armor. This is the most powerful ammunition in the civilian class, making them invincible against all the monsters they have encountered before.
But today, they gnawed a hard bone, and the attack on the target lasted for several hours, and the average person spent nearly a hundred magic bullets. Normally, even a large monster would have fallen under such a fierce attack, but this monster resisted energetically.
With every striking iron, a bullet is fired at the monster. The ammunition was embedded in the monster's body, and a light shimmer erupted. This is the light that transforms the magic power infused into the core stone into a pure energy impact, and the impact of light and heat leaves many scars on the monster's limbs.
However, these "wounds" healed quickly, and the sludge flowing from the mass rushed to the wounds caused by the munitions, and in an instant, the traces left by the munitions were able to disappear. Under the continuous attack, it is these "sludge" that protect the emaciated body in the center and make everyone's efforts go to waste.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the damage to monsters caused by long-range diversion shots is really minimal, and it will only take a moment to repair it. In order to defeat it, you must not only attack its outer sludge-covered "protective layer", but also attack the main body that is tightly protected by sludge.
It's not that no one is trying to snipe at the main body, but it's easier said than done. The thick sludge tightly wrapped around the emaciated body, leaving only the mouths scattered all over the body to swallow the air without vain. It's hard to hit those parts.
And if you want to take advantage of the monster's inattention to launch a melee assault on it, then the few who were loaded into the vehicle by the guard officer just now are the opposite examples. They tried to attack a group of guards from behind while it was facing it, but they were swept away with a swing from the monster that turned.
The brute force of the monster is quite terrifying, and several people are slapped to the side of the road with a casual swing. The spearmen who had been hit in front of Curt's vehicle might have been hit in the same way, but the mercenaries who were not as well armed as him were not as lucky.
Quack, ah, ah, ah,
After knocking away the mercenaries who tried to attack him, the monster roared in the sky, as if demonstrating to the enemies around it. It then slammed its stubby calves towards the fallen mercenaries, waving its arms sharply before lifting them high enough to smash them down.
"Don't look down on people too much, you disgusting monster!"
Not far away, there was a roar, and a magic bullet shot into a gaping mouth on the monster's body, and then burst into a rapidly burning flame.
The sudden attack made the monster hesitate for a moment, and taking advantage of its momentary dullness, several "chains" covered in the brilliance of blue and white electric sparks suddenly rose from the ground, wrapping around the monster's limbs with lightning speed. The seemingly illusory chains have a tenacity that doesn't match their appearance, restricting the monster's progress in an instant. The electric light curled up in the chains flickered, and sparks crawled all over its body.
This is a binding spell used to capture large monsters, and it needs to be performed by multiple people. Turning his head to look over, it turned out that Grostide had arrived with the last wave of reinforcements. Naturally, it was Asquith and his assistants who came with him to unleash this spell.
Quack, alas!
Almost all monsters are paralyzed by the electric sparks wrapped around the chains, making it difficult to resist the chains. But the monster was unaffected by the electricity, and it roared, struggling to break free from its chains. The surging sludge spreads all over its body, causing its body to expand further.
"You'd better hurry up and move the wounded off the battlefield!" Asquith shouted through gritted teeth, bruises on his head, this spell was very difficult, and the monster's struggle made him even more exhausted, "Hurry up! This guy struggles strongly, we can't hold out for long." ”
Asquith was about to crush his teeth in order to maintain the spell, and his assistants who assisted in spell casting also widened their eyes, not daring to slack off in the slightest. Several strong guards hurried to the mercenaries who had fallen to the ground and carefully moved them to the parked vehicles on the side of the road.
Cracking sound!
Enraged monsters broke free from their chains, shattering spells made the sound of glass shattering, and the sorcerers who maintained the spells collapsed to the ground as if they had lost their strength. With a muffled thud, the monster's dull arm slammed into the ground, sinking deep into the ground effortlessly.
"Restraining the monsters covered in sludge with electric chains, are there holes in the brains of these 'talents' or what?" Lizzie's lazy voice reached Curt's head again, "It's enough to use relatively small ordinary chains, why use such a complex high-level spell." ”
"So you're still watching. ”
Lizzie hadn't spoken since she left the ruins, and Curt thought she was busy with her own business. It was only now that she suddenly interjected that he noticed that Lizzie had seen the situation through his own eyes. If so, he would have saved himself the trouble of explaining.
"I was watching, but I didn't speak. She responded briefly to Curt's doubts, and at the same time was very unhappy to comment on the monster, and her tone was full of contempt, "This thing is what you called 'monster' at that time? ”
Once her bashing begins, it's not easy to stop.
One after another, disgusted words spat out of her mouth: "What a shoddy design, this style is even more disgusting than those fake bugs of the time, it is simply the embodiment of the designer's own bad taste." I can't really think of the aesthetics of the people who made them. ”
"Who knows, but depending on the tone of your voice, this monster is something that was made. Curt noticed Lizzie's comments and asked her curiously, "Can you see what it is? I've never seen a monster like this before." ”
After a brief silence, Lizzie made her point: "This monster was indeed made. Strictly speaking, it's not a monster, and it's not even a living thing. In principle, they are similar to those spiders, and they are all driving weapons similar to 'puppets' or 'corpse soldiers'. ”
"The material that makes up the body appears to be a mixture of sewn corpse pieces and some sludge of unknown composition with stones. She continued, "The sludge is likely to have been specially treated and is the basic material that sustains its body. And the rag doll in the middle should have a core buried in it. ”
There is no doubt that the "rag doll" she is talking about should be a humanoid entity covered with patchwork marks, and it should be the monster's greatest weakness when it is guarded. However, it is a relatively difficult problem to deal effective damage to the humanoid part of the adobe monster's defense.
Lizzie continued to observe the scene while observing the monster, and after seeing the monster shaking its upper half, she suddenly said to Curt, "Let that guy diagonally behind you be careful." It's a good shooting spot, but if you crouch there and don't move, you'll be knocked away by monsters. ”
The heavy guns they used were almost the size of light guns, with a straight rear butt that held tightly against the shooter's body. The scope protrudes outwards from the center of the gun and is fixed in a position that facilitates the user's aiming. The large body of the gun is highly powerful, but it also restricts their movement.
After receiving several rounds of ammunition, the monster turned around with a roar of rage. Then it took a sharp step forward and raised its arms in the direction of Curt. Attacking at this distance, the monster will only hit Curt, so the guards are still focusing on shooting.
There was a muffled thud, and the magic bullet broke away from the chamber and hit the monster's body accurately. High-powered ammunition breaks through the outer defenses, causing the monster to let out a low whine. But in an instant, it took a few steps again, and swept its raised arms towards the team members who were squatting not far away.
Curt hurriedly shouted at the guards, "Get out of here!"
Only then did they notice that the monster's target was themselves, and they hurriedly threw down their weapons and fled from the spot. After a puff of smoke, the monster left a deep pit in the ground. Fortunately, the guards reacted in time, and no one was harmed, but the materials that fell in a hurry had been smashed to pieces.
Seeing the monster pass over Curt and choose to attack the guard farther away, Lizzie confirmed that Curt's previous words were true, and she muttered, "Sure enough, it can't see you...... Maybe there's something wrong with the design. But it's okay, you should be able to dress up and catch the flaw at this time. ”
"That's right. ”
Curt nodded slightly, and immediately raised his long knife and quickly charged forward, diving into the monster's defenseless inner circle. Although he felt a little sorry for the guards who were targeted by the monster, the monster's "attack" on them did give him a good opportunity to attack.
He took a deep breath and the power of his body was immediately attached to the monster, and then the moment he approached, he exhaled the air in his lungs, twisted the center of gravity of his body and swung the unsheathed recurve knife, and slashed at the weakly defended leg of the monster that he had never realized he had saved.
The sharp blade slashed into the monster's sludge- and stone-covered limbs, sending up a cloud of flying debris.
