0018 Ambush
"Why me?"
Li Ming asked curiously.
"Because everyone has just become hunters, it will be easier to get along if you form a team together."
Chu Ying explained.
"Oh, that means that even if you cheat each other, you're more acceptable to each other, right?"
Li Ming said tentatively.
"That's probably what it means, if you form a team with an experienced hunter, you're a little afraid of dragging the other party down, and you don't have any worries about this at all."
Chu Ying informed.
"Okay, then let's introduce it officially, my name is Li Ming, and my weapon is a shield axe, this is my hunting cat partner Mi Duoduo, who has just become a hunting cat."
"Hello Chu Yingmeow."
"The characteristics of my person... It's just that the thinking is more jumpy, and the style of acting is a little weird, I hope you can understand more. ”
Li Ming informed.
"My name is Chu Ying, the weapon is a heavy crossbow, and my partner Bubu has just become a hunting cat, my characteristics are more cautious, and I usually like to plan fully before launching an action, because I am a rookie hunter, please be more tolerant of the shortcomings."
After completing the exchange, the two went to the counter to register the team.
"After the formalities are completed, if you have the idea of forming a team for a long time, you can give the team a name, so that as the team's hunting evaluation and fame continue to accumulate, the guild may send you some special commissions with generous rewards."
Shireen suggested.
"I'm not good at names."
Chu Ying looked at Li Ming.
"That's called... Ruthless squad. ”
Li Ming raised his head and thought about it and gave an answer.
"Ruthless Squad, what a mighty name, are you sure?"
Shireen confirmed.
"That's it."
"Okay, the registration of the ruthless team has been completed, Huang Sulong's crusade contract has been sealed, this is the latest version of the Sand Plains map, please go to the guild warehouse to collect the supplies, I wish you two a safe return as soon as possible!"
Shireen said, handing over a ticket with both hands.
The guild branch is divided into stairs, and Chu Ying points to the gate of the sandstone cave stronghold and says, "Li Ming, I'll go get the supplies, you go and put on armor, and let's meet at the gate of the stronghold." ”
Armor? What armor ...
After a moment, Li Ming understood the meaning of Chu Ying's words.
"I don't have armor yet, just a helmet at the moment."
Li Ming said, picked up the arc-shaped carapace of the earth sand dragon hanging on his back, and buckled it above his head.
"Well, if there is a siege, I will definitely do my best to cover you."
Although Chu Ying was surprised, she quickly accepted it.
"Well, let's go get the rations together."
After Li Ming finished speaking, he walked towards the guild warehouse.
"Is this Li Ming really reliable?"
Bubu asked in a whisper that wasn't quite convinced.
"The teacher said that a hunter with outstanding talent has a somewhat abnormal dressing style and behavior, and even if he really doesn't perform well, we can try to save his life by working hard."
Chu Ying informed.
"Okay, meow."
Bubu reluctantly agreed.
Six bottles of healing medicine, four boxes carrying food supplies.
A grease-stained barbecue grill, a makeshift tent with patches on tarpaulins, and a box of Class 1 bombs were all there was to the rations.
Among them, the old barbecue grill and tent need to be kept in good condition as much as possible and brought back to the base for return, rather than going to the grocery store to buy a new one.
But both of them said that since it was free, they could make do with it, so they each carried one and prepared to go.
Regarding hunter travel, there are actually sand boats that can be rented in the Sandstone Cave Branch, but even the price of a small sand boat is unaffordable with the reward of a one-star contract.
Therefore, rubbing the past cargo sand boat has become the mainstream travel mode of hunters.
The team was lucky, and they didn't wait much time before they got on board a large cargo sand boat that was about to depart.
For the hunters who maintain the ecology and ensure the safety of the stronghold, the crew is also very willing to help.
When asked the crew about the area where Huang Sulong was often seen, the reply was simple: the deeper you go into the sandplains, the more likely it is to encounter them.
The two discussed for a moment and decided to go a little deeper than the other hunter squads.
This will not only increase the chance of encountering the Yellow Speed Dragons, but also the danger will not be too high.
"Hunters, be careful!"
"Got it! Bon voyage. ”
Facing the reminder from the distant sand boat, Li Ming waved goodbye.
Drinking a cold drink with a slightly greasy taste, the two cats set out on a journey across the satin-like dunes.
The visual search was carried out by Li Ming and Chu Ying, using paw prints and traces of feces to trace them, and Mi Duoduo and Bubu were responsible for completing it.
Along the way, Mi Duoduo quickly locked on the traces of the three yellow speed dragons through the paw prints on the sand, and concluded that the other party was moving nearby.
"How about following this paw print?"
Chu Ying suggested.
"No, the other party will escape, with Huang Sulong's running speed, it will be a little difficult for us to pursue."
Li Ming informed.
"Will run away..."
Chu Ying was very surprised.
"Yes, I've confirmed this with Midodo many times."
"Then what to do, the sand is not suitable for digging traps."
Chu Ying thought about it.
"Wait for the other party to take the bait, it's best to let the other party take the initiative to find the team, creating the illusion that we are the prey... If there is a weak target as bait, the success rate will definitely increase even further. ”
At the same time, Li Ming looked at Mi Duoduo.
"Makes sense meow... What do you see me doing? ”
Miduo was stunned.
"Midodo, do you remember the claw slam on the hunter?"
Li Ming asked.
"Uh... You mean meow! ”
Midodo's eyes widened, revealing a sudden expression.
"There's a plan, but we'll have to find a quagmire just to be on the safe side."
Li Ming said, unfolding the map.
Dusk is approaching, and under the dark purple sky, three yellow speed dragons appear.
With the tarpaulin underneath him, he held the ballista in a lying position to probe the surrounding Chu Ying, quickly locking it on.
"There it is! Three! ... One of them had a claw joint wound and was jumping forward on one leg. ”
After Chu Ying told the information, her eyes moved away from the scope and looked at Li Ming with some concern.
If there is a reason, it is that the plan made by the other party is too unconventional.
And...
Boom~Boom~...
There was a dull clash of earth and rock, and a stone man covered in a clear gray color rose from the sand.
"Very good, Midodo! Come on my back! ”
"Okay meow."
"Hold on."
After Li Ming finished speaking, he jumped from the top of the sand dune, jumped onto the sand ramp, twisted his body very casually a few times, and then slid to the bottom of the circular sand pit.
"Meow! Meow meow! ”
Mi Duoduo's full shout quickly attracted the attention of the yellow dragons at the top of the dune.
Puff ~ Puff ~ Puff! ...
The three yellow dragons moved their claws and came to the top of the annular sand pit to watch.
The man and the cat at the bottom glanced upward, and then took a stance.
"Evil hunter, look at my awesome meow!"
Midodo shouted, jumped into the air, and the cat's paw swung back to accumulate strength, swinging forward with all his might.
"Uhh
At the same time, Li Ming flew upside down, screamed in pain, and slid close to the ground for more than ten meters before he stopped the impact of this claw.
Let's da~let's da~...
Huang Sulong's eyes blinked violently, tilting his head from side to side, staring at the magical scene below.
Being able to be knocked away by the Merw Cat, the weakness of this gray creature is incredible.
"Remember! Don't come out and do evil again! ”
After saying that, Midodo used all four paws together and ran towards the top of the bunker.
The three yellow dragons raised their necks and looked left and right for a moment, not noticing any movement, and with their legs and feet sound, they boldly probed towards the sand pit first.
The one that landed on only one leg jumped sharply on the spot, and finally simply jumped up on one leg, made a big jump, and fell straight to the center of the bunker.
The next moment, Li Ming's palm holding the energy storage sword suddenly clenched, and he raised his hand to stab straight into the sky.
Puff~
The bone-like rough tip of the sword pierced into the abdomen of the lame Huang Sulong, and a little pink flesh under the skin overflowed outward against the sword body.
The sudden pain of the wound made Huang Sulong feel terrified.
But at present, it has the advantage of being superior, and Li Ming is lying down, so he tilts his head to the side, opens his mouth full of small sharp teeth to the limit, and bites towards Li Ming's neck.
Ga~Bang!
A few sparks flashed, and a crisp crumbling sound sounded.
Several tiny sharp teeth with venom were directly crushed by the hardened sludge.
Whoa~Whoa~...
Huang Sulong, who was lame, quickly fell backwards.
Li Ming took advantage of the situation to withdraw the energy storage sword, quickly got up, and stood still with his shield raised.
At this time, the other two Huang Sulong arrived at the bottom of the pit, and surrounded them on the left and the right.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of heavy ballista fire above sounded, and the light point projectile slid and fell.
Puff~Puff~
Two bullets, accurately overlapping and hitting the head of the yellow speed dragon on the left.
Seeing this, Li Ming took the initiative to attack and rushed straight to the one on the right.
In the face of the attacking claws, he did not choose to defend with a shield, but instead swung and slashed with his charged sword.
Ahh
Sparks splashed, and large pieces of silt debris fell off.
Puff~
The blade slashed through his side, blood splattering.
At the same time as the energy storage sword in his right hand was withdrawn, Li Ming stepped forward, swung his shield horizontally, and slashed at Huang Sulong's slender neck with the shield blade.
Puff~
The outer skin of the neck is cut and blood is splattered.
At this time, the energy storage sword in his hand had already swung back to the back of his side, and Li Ming aimed at the tip of the sword with the shield charging slot, and pressed down to embed.
Poof!
Four streams of steam erupt outward.
Li Ming quickly changed his grip on the hilt of the sword with both hands and slashed it forward.
Bang!
The giant axe that expanded the shield blade directly hit the head of the Yellow Speed Dragon.
Under the huge impact, Huang Sulong's body rotated twice in mid-air and fell backwards.
Li Ming didn't give the other party a chance to breathe, rolled forward, got up and ran two steps back, aimed at the head and picked up the giant axe again.
Click~Bang!
A crisp bone cracking sound sounded, Huang Sulong's neck bent down, and his head was smashed directly into the sand.
Three white fog balls flew out, Li Ming didn't bother to check them, turned around and dismantled the chimeric shield axe at the same time.
The moment he held the hilt of the energy storage sword with one hand and tried to pull it out vigorously, he didn't care whether there was a Huang Sulong behind him or not, and turned around to slash with a sword.
The scene was much better than he had expected.
The other Huang Sulong did not besiege the attack, but jumped sideways from side to side, avoiding the ballista bullets from above.
The lame one lost his fighting spirit and tried to escape from the bunker by jumping on one leg.
Taking a short breath to calm his breath, Li Ming leaned into the side of the jumping Huang Sulong.
Chu Ying immediately stopped shooting, folded the iron assault crossbow on her back, and slid down the sand slope.
At the current distance, she can no longer guarantee that it will not affect Li Ming.
The best way to do this is to get close to the target and shoot from a standing position at close range.
Huang Sulong, who was jumping around, made Li Ming, who wanted to use the sword several times, hold back his thoughts.
Because the swing of the energy storage sword is relatively cumbersome, with one blow in the air, the opponent has the possibility of taking the opportunity to escape.
Left, right, left, right, right, left...
"Can't you dance a little regularly!"
Li Ming, who failed to find the pattern, shouted.
Huang Sulong's claws paused for a moment and continued to jump sideways from side to side.
"I'll block this side!"
Chu Ying, who arrived with a sliding shovel, lifted the ballista and pointed the muzzle of the gun to the left.
"I'm coming here!"
Li Ming said, leaning sideways and beginning to lean forward.
Huang Sulong saw that both sides were blocked, and he stopped bouncing, his legs bent down to accumulate strength, and he was ready to break through with a big jump.
Chu Ying saw the other party's movements, raised the ballista sideways, and aimed in mid-air.
Boom! Boom!
Poof! Poof!
Huang Sulong, who was shot, fell backwards from mid-air.
Just as he was about to get up, the energy storage sword that emitted heat slashed at him.
While! While! While! ... Boom!
After Li Ming's smashing, the blade of the sword became soft due to the high heat inside, and the slash immediately turned into a stick beating.
Three fog balls flew out, and Li Ming changed the target again.
At this time, the lame Huang Sulong, who had tried to jump out of the sand pit several times but had failed, noticed two unkind eyes and was staring at him.
Oh! Oh! Oh! ...
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the lame Huang Sulong used his last move to threaten with a roar.
"Let me come."
Seeing Li Ming raise his hand to block, the muzzle of the cannon that Chu Ying had already aimed at immediately drooped.
The energy storage sword was inserted into the energy storage tank, and the sword body, which had been in high heat, quickly cooled.
All the energy obtained from the shock is injected into the energy bottle inside the shield.
Zizi ~ Zizi ~...
Several electric strikes rang out inside the shield.
"Genus! Sex! Untie! Put! Chop! ”
After Li Ming finished speaking word by word, he used all his strength to swing the giant axe out.
At the same time as the lame yellow speed dragon was hit and flew away, a cloud of golden lightning was transmitted through the blade of the axe, condensing in the abdomen.
Puff~
The golden lightning that exploded directly opened a large hole in Huang Sulong's abdomen.
Li Ming also wanted to pick up the axe again, but found that the other party had flown too far and had fallen to the edge of the bunker, so he gathered his strength to disassemble the shield axe.
"I'm so tired..."
The high concentration brought about by the battle receded, and a strong sense of exhaustion hit.
Li Ming speculated that this might have something to do with the heavy silt armor.
"Take a break, and we'll take care of the materials."
After Chu Ying finished speaking, she pulled out the hunter's knife.
"It's okay, I'm going to do it again... What is that ritual called Midodo? ”
"The transcendent ritual of love!"
Midodo reminded.
"Yes."
After Li Ming finished speaking, he picked up the fog ball on the spot.
[Jumping on one leg], [Marching with injuries], [Calling - Yellow Speed Dragon King].
"What a broken skill is this..."
Li Ming turned around a little speechlessly, but quickly sensed that something was wrong.
