[Thank you Brother Xiang for your monthly ticket support!]

Dense dots of light.

When Leah presented the image obtained from the spirit scan to everyone's minds, the point of light representing the number of rat people made all the high-level people feel a little bitter. Judging from the speed and strength of the nezumi just now, they can at least be comparable to human sixth-order warriors, and even more dangerous. However, the people present would rather face a sixth- or seventh-order warrior than face such a local indigenous person in the special environment of the underground canyon.

There is no doubt that these xenos who are familiar with the environment will be enhanced in all aspects.

"Leah, scan for anything around here to be attacked. Zero said.

Leah nodded, her eyes blank.

Moni frowned, "Don't you think about seceding?"

Zero shook his head: "If this is the distance at the back of the canyon, then I would consider getting out of here." Unfortunately, we are in the first half of the canyon, and we should still be a long way from leaving the canyon. The speed of these rat people, I'm afraid only you, me, and Yeliu can hope to get rid of. As for the others, they can't, and if they are entangled and fought by them on the way out, it is better to find a more advantageous place to meet them. ”

"Even if we can't wipe them out, we must beat them to the ground, otherwise we will have a very troublesome road ahead. ”

Moni nodded in agreement. Leah then said, "Found it, five hundred meters ahead." There was a turning point where I scanned a building. Look, a bit like the previous forward base. ”

"That's supposed to be a stronghold that ShadowClan built when they came to the Monster Canyon, let's go. Zero said, "Yeruo, please take Leah with you." She's the slowest, I'll cut it off. Kim and Alice, your abilities are not adapted to this kind of high-speed combat, so stay in the middle of the group. Hevi and Moni, protect the flanks of the team, and remember not to fight. If you can't kill them instantly, you can break their joints. ”

The rest of the Blade Hunters were completely spread out to protect the formation from the nezumi.

Once the direction was set, Zero made a gesture. The team began to move, and as soon as they moved, the points of light on the cliffs on both sides followed suit. In the darkness, the sound of claws rubbing against the ground rang out. Zero yells, "Kim, we need some light!"

At this time, he naturally couldn't be stingy with flares, and Jin immediately fired a shot into the sky. The flares swayed into the air with the tail of the flames, glowing as they approached the dome of the earth. At the edge of the flare's visual range, at a glance, it was all thin and slender nezumi. They ran down from both sides of the mountain wall, making no sound, and then chased after them like a tidal wave.

Zero sudden stop, momentum bursts, and a wave of the hand sends out a fate break. A golden thread appeared in the canyon, and in an instant, the golden thread turned into rolling waves, and crashed into the rat crowd a hundred meters away. However, these nezumi were very alert, and the moment the golden thread appeared, most of them jumped or rolled, and scattered. Let Zero's fate break can only hit about twenty ratmen, which is frighteningly inefficient.

But in the memory of the nezumi, probably no one was able to take the lives of dozens of their compatriots with a single blow, so their footsteps actually stopped. Let the compatriots behind cross, and then come back to their senses, and form a wave to chase after them again.

The team is moving forward at full speed.

Suddenly there was a shrill whistling sound from the mountain walls on either side, and seven or eight gray-haired nezumi fell to the ground and headed towards the sides of the group. The nezumi were visibly stronger, with a hexagonal hexagonal hedron embedded in their foreheads. As they ran at full speed, blue fire lit up in the depths of the hedrons. The light crescenates from weak to strong, and finally brightens like a light bulb.

The speed of the gray squirrel man continued to increase, and the power of energy was faintly born on his body. Every gray squirrel man has reached the strength of the eighth order of human beings!

The elite of these nezumi soon approached the group, starting with the scattered Blade Hunters. These creatures didn't know what fear was, and they worked in groups of two, each of which pounced on a gray squirrel. The Blade Hunter is no worse than the average nezumi and may not be as fast as the grey squirrel in short sprints, but it is more than enough to entangle the opponent.

The hunters are fierce, and as soon as they pounce on the squirrels, they even use their blades to get in and out of their bodies. Nezumi are far inferior to saurosaurs in terms of physical strength, and they do not have a natural bony stomach for protection. Even the Gray Squirrel People are no exception, but they are not comparable to the Lizard Dragons in terms of mobility and explosive power.

Surrounded by blade hunters, the Grey Squirrel Man is undaunted. Let the hunter's blade go in and out, and the blade of the forelimb slashed like a saber, and even slashed the hunter's head. It was only by being entangled by the Blade Hunter that the Gray Squirrel Man went from eight to only two approaching the sides of the group.

Hyvi and Monie shot at the same time.

Although the two of them were also Rank 8, their combat experience was far from comparable to that of these natives who had lived underground for a long time. In the case of the same rank, the amount of combat experience will directly determine the outcome of a battle.

The battle had just begun, and it ended almost instantly. Moni and Havi are both explosive fighting styles, and the death assault takes Moni to the back of the gray squirrel, and the nezumi has a cold waist, which has already made Moni cut in half. On the other side, Hywei fitted into the rat-man's left forelimb joint. She concentrated her strength and broke the nezumi's joints without difficulty, and the impact lifted the nezumi away.

The nezumi was still in mid-air, and Haiwei squatted on the ground, instantly bouncing onto the nezumi's body. She wrenched her hands and feet around the nezumi, and her body spun down in the air, directly breaking the gray squirrel's cervical vertebrae. Although the nezumi died immediately, he was unable to hunt down Haiwei again. The girl clapped her hands and returned to her original position in the group.

After escaping the attack of this elite team of nezumen, Zero's team quickly broke away. During this time, Zero unleashed two more fateful fractures, hindering the trail of the pursuers.

Finally, they saw the ShadowClan stronghold at a turn in the canyon.

Somewhat similar to the previous forward base, but obviously much smaller in size. However, the ShadowClan people are still meticulous in their fortifications. On the way, Leah had found the entrance to the stronghold, which was also a gap in the bunker, but Leah suggested that there was a small amount of life inside. Arriving at the entrance, Yeru put Leah down and took the lead in flashing into her mouth.

After a few moments, the terrible screams of some kind of beast in the entrance rang out. Knowing that Yeliu had already started to clean up the stronghold, he let go of the girl very much, and made a gesture to let the team enter one after another. After the zero charge was broken, when he arrived here, the blade hunters were all consumed. Next, it's up to them.

As soon as they entered the bunker, they shattered the walls near the breach, and the falling rocks sealed the breach, so that if the nezumi wanted to attack, they had to attack from the front. Coming out of the passage of the bunker, the killing in the stronghold is over. Zero saw three or five rat corpses, it seems that this stronghold is patronized by the rat people, and it should be used as a nest by the rat people, but their luck is not bad.

It seems that the nezumi came out of the nest, and instead they took advantage of the magpie's nest and got a big advantage.

The stronghold is located at the corner of a triangular part of the canyon, so the stronghold is built into a square shape. Facing the canyon clearing, the two sides of the guard wall form a triangular structure. As soon as they came out of the passage, they reached the sentry wall through the stone steps behind the wall, the light of the flares was fading, and the tide of rat people had already arrived on the canyon floor.

They stopped not far from the stronghold and did not seem to be in a hurry to attack. From the performance of these rat people, it has been confirmed that they have evolved intelligence, and they can also be regarded as a branch of the alien race. It's just that they live underground for a long time, and they are fierce and savage by nature, just like primitive natives who can't communicate with words. Therefore, it is foreseeable that the only way for both sides to return home is to use force.

"We need firelight, to find everything we can ignite. Zero said.

The others immediately dispersed, each looking for something. Zero stood on the wall and smelled a fishy smell. He frowned, and walked around, noticing that there was a wooden trough on the outside of the sentry wall, which was filled with something black. It was the problem of the fishy smell of these things, and Zero reached out and dipped it a little, and found that these things were very oily, like ointment extracted from some creatures.

He was overjoyed, and then they brought some dead branches. I don't know what kind of plant these dead branches are taken from the ground, they are hard to the touch, and I don't know if they can burn. Zero picked up a section, dipped it directly in the ointment in the wooden trough, and fired a rifle at the dead branch. The spark flickered, and the dead branches immediately burst into flames. Obviously, the ointment in the trough is combustible.

This wooden trough and ointment must be another means of defense used by the ShadowClans, and the wooden trough is separated from the sentry wall by a distance of about ten centimeters, and is fixed with a triangular bracket. As soon as the bracket is cut, the trough will fall down along with the ointment, which will make it difficult to climb the sentry wall, and then a fire can form a wall of fire to block the attack.

Simple, but brutal.

"Head, we've found something else. ”

Haiwei and Yeliu brought something over, and in Haiwei's hands, there were three wooden crossbows with simple workmanship. There is no special processing technology, zero tried, the range of this wooden crossbow is also very average, and it is quite rare to be able to shoot an arrow for about a hundred meters. As for Yeliu, she was holding two wooden boxes. The two long wooden boxes were stacked with short arrows, but what made people laugh was that they were also made of wood.

To put it simply, these are primitive weapons. Maybe it's okay to shoot animals, but it's just a joke to use it to beat rats.

Yeliu looked at Zero and said indifferently: "The arrow is hollow, and there is something in it." ”

Zero looked at the girl in surprise, and Yeliu had already picked up one of them. With a slight force between the arrow and the rod, Yaru handed the arrow to Zero, and as she said, the arrow was hollow, and it was also filled with the same kind of ointment from the wooden trough. In this way, the arrow itself has negligible lethality, but it can use the ointment's low ignition point to deal fire damage.

There are more than 200 arrows like this, not many, but not many.

"It's good, with these things, we're going to have a lot easier. Zero said.

Kim smiled wryly and said, "Now I miss the big guy like Brown." ”

Zero knew he was talking about Brown's six-barreled cannon, and indeed, this battle would have been easier if there had been that kind of mass killing. He patted Kim on the shoulder and said, "Staying will cause them some trouble." ”

"If time permits, I can even make a belt of quicksand for them. ”

Zero nodded, looked down, and said, "Let's make some light first." ”

So they anointed the dead branches, and then used the burning branches as torches, and set the dead branches on fire and threw them to the ground outside the stronghold. The twigs are strange, and although they are dry and flammable, they do not burn quickly, and they are enough to serve as lighting for the battlefield. In the light of the fire, it was very strange that the rat people on that side could be faintly seen just wandering around, but not attacking immediately.

"It always feels like they're waiting for someone to call the shots. Zero clasped his hands to his chest.

"Is it the Rat King?" said Kim half-jokingly, but in exchange for zero serious colors, he said with a dry smile, "I guessed right?"

"It's not surprising, they've evolved intelligence and there's definitely a leader. ”

At the end of the zero voice, a huge aura suddenly rose at the dark end of the canyon, and that aura was very violent, like a giant tornado connecting heaven and earth. Zero was surprised, judging from the strength of the breath, it turned out to be a ninth-order.

A ninth-order nezumi?

He took a wooden crossbow from Hevi's hand, loaded the arrow, and set it on the fire to light it. Zero immediately fired an arrow at the source of the breath, and instead of flying straight away, the arrow flew across a parabola. As it was about to fall, the flames of the shell ignited the ointment inside, and the arrow exploded. The ointment was ignited by the flames and scattered, falling to the ground to form several flames. By the light of the fire, everyone saw a moment of confusion among the nezumen, and then the chaos subsided. And behind these brown rat men are dozens of gray squirrel people. Among the gray squirrels, there is one that stands out.

It had fiery red fur that was as bright as a flame. The fiery red-haired rat was not as large as the gray squirrel, but it was erect and had two hedrons on its chest. The red ratman was the leader of the nezumi xenomorphs, and it was furious at the rockets fired from the zero, and let out a short, high-pitched cry as it pointed at the stronghold.

Then the normal nezumi began to advance, and they were divided into rows, each with a gap, and they fell apart so as not to give Zero a head-on blow. The rat tide surged, and Zero looked towards Jin. The latter has been engrossed in mobilizing the earth element of the space, which is located beneath the ground, and the earth element is incomparably strong. Soon, the ground shook, and sharp stone cones burst out of the ground, knocking some of the nezumi who couldn't dodge into the air.

The unfortunate men who had pinned the cone were disemboweled by the sharp tip of the cone, and did not die immediately, but the blood flowed from the wound, and in the blink of an eye, the cone turned red.

A forest of stone cones popped up out of thin air, and they didn't kill many nezumi without killing them, but effectively disrupted the rhythm of their attack. Haiwei, Zero, and Monie had seized the opportunity and beckoned the nezumi down with rockets. These rockets are not very powerful on their own, and the real lethality comes from the ointment in the hollow arrows. When the arrow hits the nezumi, the nearby ground explodes, and the ointment inside will splash with flames.

The ointment had a very low ignition point, almost burning on fire, and after a few moments, the ground under the stronghold was full of fire. The rats that were glued to Xiang by the ointment were scorched even if they were not burned to death.

For a while, most of the strikers of these ratmen were stopped under the stronghold. Only a few of them jumped past the rain of arrows from Zero and others and pounced on the sentry wall of the stronghold. At this point, Alice would greet each other with her ice chips, the nezumi body was not as strong as the lizard dragon's defenses, and the whistling and swirling ice chips were enough to leave a deep hole in them. Alice waved her hand and threw dozens of ice chips, which would kill the rain that slipped through the net.

Seeing this, the Red Rat Man screamed angrily. It drove the rest of the nezumi to attack, along with the elite gray squirrels. Seeing this, Zero dropped his crossbow and picked up his rifle instead. Turn to sniper mode, and zero puts the red ratman in the crosshair. Almost as soon as he pressed the trigger, the leader of the red rats in the sight also looked at Zero. Then it slammed into the ground like lightning, and the sniper bullet only ploughed through its back, tearing off a large patch of red hair and a cloud of blood mist!

The Red Rat Leader was a little panicked by this attack, apparently it had never encountered a weapon like a sniper rifle. However, it has evolved intelligence, but it has rather cunningly blended into the attacking team, and launched a charge towards the stronghold with the nezumi army.

Ye Liu's cold snort sounded next to Zero, and the girl's figure flickered, and she had already gone straight down the wall and attacked the Chinese army!

Ignoring the ordinary rat people, Yeliu passed through the large number of brown rats like a ghost, and then rushed into the position of the white rat people. From a distance, between the flicking of several pitch-black silk threads, there was a white rat man's head or a part of the body flying high. But Yeliu didn't stay for the rat people for long, and her goal was to go to the leader of the rat people.

Locking on the leader of the nezumi, Yeliu caught it with her small hand, and countless black silk threads merged into a bunch, forming a black thin sword in her hand. This thin sword, which was gathered by countless threads of energy, flickered in the air like black lightning. When it swept through the air, it even left behind one or two electric snakes as thin as a gossamer. It's just that although the electric snake is small, a gray squirrel man accidentally bumped into it and let the electric snake submerge into the body. After running less than three or two steps, a huge wound suddenly appeared on the gray squirrel's body, but it was torn open by the inconspicuous electric snake!

The leader of the nezumi saw Yaryu rushing towards him, and it screamed, its hair standing on end. The two hedras on his chest shone with dazzling light, driving his power to the extreme, and the red rat man went to Yeliu to meet him. The two are staggered, there is red light and black electricity constantly exploding, and the sound of collision between energies is endless. Yeliu and the leader of the nezumi were both fast and fast, and instantly turned into countless afterimages intertwined, turning into dazzling shadows.
