Epoch of Twilight

Chapter 52: Quick kill

Views:

Several people lay motionless in a patch of grass that was half a person's height. After a while, Qian Dakui raised his head slightly, took a cautious look, and then quickly looked away.

"Boss Luo, it's just ahead!" He said in a low voice, with a solemn look on his face.

The surrounding grass blades were a bit hard, with sharp and tiny barbs growing on their surfaces. After just climbing more than ten meters, Qian Dakui's exposed skin, including his face, was covered in bloodstains from cuts.

This is the highest location in the surrounding area. Luo Yuan raised his body slightly and glanced more than a hundred meters ahead.

This is a lake with a size of more than ten acres. Because of the abundant water source, the nearby trees are more green and tender compared with other places.

Some plants have even evolved aerial roots covered with fine hairs like banyan trees, which hang down and plunge deeply into the river water.

Several weird and huge mutant beasts on the lake shore were looking down at the river, sometimes raising their ears vigilantly and observing their surroundings.

At this time, a giant yellow-green beast slowly crawled towards this side. Its image could still vaguely see the characteristics of its former lizard. Its heavy body left a deep pit in the soft ground with every step it took.

Including the tail, this mutated lizard is about six meters long, and its surface is covered with layers of yellow-green scales. Each scale is the size of a fist, with circles of fine black patterns that resemble tree rings.

The outer edges of these patterns are slightly lighter in color, and as they go deeper, the colors become darker. The center is completely a small black dot. As the body rises and falls, these patterns seem to come alive, constantly changing and twisting.

But unlike the previous lizards, its head has no scales at all, only dark brown wrinkled skin like old bark, and its facial features show a three-dimensional sense unique to mammals.

As soon as it reached the river bank, it caused a large-scale commotion. Several nearby mutant beasts whimpered and fled in panic.

The mutated lizard raised its head in satisfaction and roared low. Its long tail like a steel cable swayed slightly. It walked to the lake shore, lowered its head, and started drinking water leisurely.

And the body of the black owl, which had only a forest-white skeleton left, was not far from the lake shore. Black feathers were scattered all over the ground, seemingly everywhere. At a glance, there were more than a hundred of them!

Luo Yuan lowered his body again, his heart pounding, and he glanced at the three people: "I'm going to go there, what do you guys mean?"

Qian Dakui and the other two looked at each other, and said with a hint of embarrassment, "We can only take you here, and then we will go hunting elsewhere. It's not that we are unjust, but the strength here is not what we can stay here." !”

This place is indeed too dangerous for them, and Luo Yuan is not surprised by their reaction. After all, they are just casual acquaintances, and even for profit, they are not enough to risk their lives. He said: "Okay, but I still have to Thank you and hope to see you again. ”

Although Qian Dakui believed that Luo Yuan would not fall out over such trivial matters, he was still greatly relieved when he saw that they were actually allowed to leave. He quickly waved his hands and said, "Mr. Luo, it's serious. I'll change one code for another. I hope this time will be over." , don’t take it to heart.

We will leave the seized weapons and ammunition to you, but these can only be used outside. Do not bring them back to the base, otherwise they will be interrogated and confiscated! "

Yang Dawei took off a backpack and threw it on the ground.

Luo Yuan nodded.

"Then let's go first, take care of yourself."

Several people carefully backed away until they were dozens of meters away, then they hunched over, stood up, and quickly left this dangerous area.

After they left, Luo Yuan checked the weapons in his backpack. Five high-explosive rounds, a flashbang, a sniper rifle, twelve armor-piercing rounds, and hundreds of general-purpose bullets.

Because it would be cumbersome to bring too much, I only brought consumable ammunition and a sniper rifle requested by Luo Yuan. Most of the weapons, including mortars, were left behind and were not brought back.

Luo Yuan lay down on the spot and planned to wait for the mutated giant lizard to leave before collecting feathers.

After a while, it finished drinking the water, but it was obviously not in a hurry to leave after eating and drinking. Perhaps the environment here was more comfortable. It slowly climbed to the bottom of a big tree by the lake and lay down. He stood down and looked around. After a few seconds, his transparent eyelids drooped slightly, and he actually started to doze off.

Luo Yuan waited for another half hour, gradually becoming impatient.

"Since you're looking for death, you can't blame me!" If he had nothing else in his hand except the sword, Luo Yuan would still hesitate, but now that he has so many more weapons and ammunition, he doesn't believe that he can't kill a blue-level creature. .

From the reaction caused by the surrounding creatures when it arrived here, and the depressive aura it inadvertently exuded while lying on the ground, Luo Yuan judged that it was a blue mutant beast.

He picked up the sniper rifle, stuffed the armor-piercing bullets one by one, and then locked the mutant lizard's position through the scope.

As soon as the killing intention started, a long-lost voice came from the system: "Hey, trigger the E-level mission, kill the violent dragon lizard, time limit is 30 minutes, accept/cancel!"

"Accepting" made him slightly uneasy. After this battle, it was time for him to level up.

He took a deep breath and moved his eyes to the scope again, aiming at the closed eyes of the mutated lizard. The defense of blue-level creatures is too strong, and even armor-piercing bullets will be difficult to severely damage a blue-level creature. If you want to kill it with a sniper rifle, you can only hit the weakest part of its defense... its eyes.

The effect of sitting quietly during this period was evident. With a few deep breaths, he quickly calmed down. After a few seconds, he pulled the trigger.

The instinct of biological beings towards danger is far stronger than that of humans. Luo Yuan just pulled the trigger. The violent dragon lizard sensed something, suddenly opened its eyes, and raised its head alertly.

"boom!"

Following the dull sound of the sniper rifle, a small blood flower quickly bloomed from the back of the violent dragon lizard.

"Ouch!"

It was like a long whistle, long and long, and filled with bloodthirsty anger.

It suddenly stood up, its blue eyes quickly turned blood red, it let out an oppressive roar, its long tail covered with barbs kept swinging, and it quickly locked on Luo Yuan's direction.

It ran on all fours, like a heavily armored tank, rumbling and rushing straight towards this side without dodge at all. The nearby trees fell to the ground like wheat straw under the impact of its terrifying power, and they were densely packed. The jungle was suddenly knocked out of a passage several meters wide.

Luo Yuan threw away the sniper rifle and stood up. He had no hope for his marksmanship, so naturally he had no regrets.

"It seems that we need to use the old method to solve it in the end." He said to himself as he looked at the furious dragon lizard getting closer and closer.

"But this thing is not bad. If used well, it can save a lot of effort!" He took out two grenades, opened the rings at the same time, and then threw them out with all his strength.

After doing all this, he kicked his feet hard on the ground and rushed towards the violent dragon lizard.

Luo Yuan's sense of space and body control were both excellent. The two grenades passed through graceful arcs and accurately landed in front of the violent dragon lizard.

His speed continued, but his eyes narrowed slightly. The next moment, a dazzling white light and a flame rose at the same time.

Flashbangs and high-explosive bombs exploded.

"Ouch!"

The body of the violent dragon lizard that was traveling at high speed was staggered by the high-explosive bomb, and its eyes were blinded by the strong light. The body could no longer balance, and it fell heavily to the ground. Its mass was several tons, and the huge mass brought What's more, it's terrifying inertia, its body couldn't stop at all, and trees along the way were knocked down by it.

At this time, Luo Yuan had quickly approached its location!

Mastery-level swordsmanship brings not only the skills of swordsmanship, but also includes many body power skills.

Such as a high-intensity burst in a short period of time!

At this time, the veins all over his body were protruding, and his body seemed to be an inch taller out of thin air. His face was flushed. The speed of his feet suddenly accelerated, and his legs were intertwined like the wind. The momentum he brought was like a level 7 typhoon, rolling up countless sand and debris. The leaves formed a long wave belt behind him.

The bloodshot eyes locked tightly on the throat of the violent dragon lizard, and cold murderous intent spread from him, and even the surrounding air seemed to begin to solidify.

In just two breaths, he quickly approached the violent dragon lizard, drew his sword out of its sheath, and an emerald green light arc cut through the air!

Knife passed!

Broken throat!

After Luo Yuan put away the knife, he did not stop and kept speeding. He did not stop until he ran dozens of meters away.

Sitting on the ground, the veins all over his body disappeared quickly. He was panting and sweating profusely.

The battle of more than ten seconds exhausted his eleven points of physical strength. At this time, even a white-level mutant beast could easily kill him.

He held his knees and stared closely at the violent dragon lizard that was on the verge of despair.

It struggled to stand up, and a large amount of blood spurted out from its throat like a high-pressure nozzle. It made a hoarse and leaky roar. As the large amount of blood passed by, its struggle became weaker and weaker.

Finally, its feet gave way and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.

Ten seconds later, a series of system prompts sounded:

"E-level mission: Kill the violent dragon lizard, completed. Mission completion time: one minute and fifteen seconds; mission rating: excellent"

"Reward 1600 basic experience points!"

"Excellent evaluation, experience value +1600!"

"You have been upgraded. The reward is one attribute point and five skill points. Now your level is level six!"

"Your energy and injuries will be restored to a certain extent!"

"Finally upgraded." Luo Yuan felt that his weak body was recovering rapidly, and he was overjoyed. His previous experience had reached 4100/4800, and with these 3200 experience points, the upgrade was far enough.

However, when he thought about the 9,600 experience points required for the next upgrade, his excitement weakened slightly. I am afraid it will be increasingly difficult to upgrade in the future.

And with the urinary nature of the system, once you adapt to high-difficulty tasks, lower-level tasks will never be assigned again.

Just like after he killed a guard class last time, no matter how many missions the ordinary green beetle killed, it would not appear, and the danger of future missions would only become higher and higher.

He calmed down and opened the properties panel

Luo Yuan was a little hesitant when allocating attribute points. He didn't know whether it was better to allocate physical strength or agility. His weakness of endurance is very obvious. If the fight lasts for more than a minute, he will be unable to sustain it, and if he breaks out with all his strength, the time will be even shorter. Once there are too many enemies or the battle lasts too long, he will be in danger.

If you add agility, the problem of endurance may be even greater, but if you add physique, the improvement in ability brought by upgrading becomes minimal. At most, you can last a little longer in battle.

This is a dilemma! But Luo Yuan, who always believed that the battle would only take a few seconds, finally decided to increase his agility. As for physical fitness, we can only think of ways to do it later, perhaps through high-intensity exercise to slowly improve it.

As a scorching warmth subsided from his body, Luo Yuan once again felt that the world was slowing down and his thoughts were delusional. It has reached 13 points of agility, which means that all his nerve reflexes are 3.375 times faster than others, including the optic nerve.

If you can still watch TV or movies now. He will tragically find that he can only see pictures that flash by quickly, rather than the complete video.
