Inside The Black Mist

Chapter 242: Another purpose (happy holidays)

At the base shooting range.

"Master, be careful!"

Butterfly's scream made Yunze's heart tighten. After using elemental javelins continuously, his star energy was consumed too much, making his physical strength and reaction not as good as before the battle.

So when a giant plague rat broke through the defense line and charged straight towards Yunze, Yunze did not evade it in the first place.

Fortunately, the butterfly bumped into him, Yunze fell away, and the plague rat passed by him.

"Butterfly!" Yunze quickly looked at his guards.

Butterfly rolled on the ground. Apparently, after knocking him away, the girl also dodged away. Yunze breathed a sigh of relief and saw Butterfly set up the Xingyun rifle and fired at the plague rat continuously, leaving the giant rat with skin and flesh torn apart.

A warrior roared and rushed forward, slamming into the giant rat, and thrusting the long sword filled with star energy into the giant rat's body, destroying its cage, and the plague rat began to decompose.

But the team's crisis is not over yet.

In fact, whether it was the followers, the plague rats, or the fungus people, it might be difficult for the Yunlong team to break through, but they could still hold on.

But the fungi in the lower base, except for those sublimators who were parasitized, were not afraid of light. The ordinary fungi, when they were combined together, were not afraid of light exposure.

That’s right, combination!

The fungus people that roam in the lower base huddle together, and the fungus colony squirms, combining these things together.

They even pulled the plague rats and their followers around them in, thus forming a huge shape.

This creature looked like a crocodile, its body was like a pile of meat, trembling when it moved, and seven or eight randomly distributed legs supported its huge body like an insect.

Around its neck, there were a circle of heads of fungus people, followers, and plague rats. These things had their eyes open, looking in different directions. However, this monster with no eyes on its big head seemed to be able to observe the surroundings through the circle of tree-like things on its neck.

This monster was the biggest threat to the Yunlong team. Yanhong had previously released two flaming fires on it. Previously, a single shot of the fiery fire pillar killed a large number of plague rats in the rat nest, but this time, apart from blowing the monster away and blowing off many fungus people from it, there was no further achievement.

Moreover, those fungus people that were blown down, as long as they were not burned into fireballs, would crawl back to the monster on their own, then drill into the wound and become part of the monster again.

So far, the Yunlong team has killed some of the black people, but the monster is still not killed.

Now, several warriors were besieging the monster. They kept moving around the monster, and the air was filled with the starlight that appeared when they passed by, which dragged out a circular trajectory.

While the warriors were dodging the monster's attacks, they were also continuously pouring sword energy and star essence onto the monster.

But this thing, like the fungus man, obviously does not have such a thing as a will cage, so it is basically impossible to kill with one blow.

With something like this, there's almost no way to kill it completely except by burning it whole or chopping it into pieces.

So strictly speaking, this monster was not very powerful, but it was quite troublesome. Especially now that the Yunlong team had to take into account the attacks and harassment from other black people, it was particularly difficult to deal with it.

After Yunze drank a bottle of replenishing liquid, he took out the last bottle and threw it to Yanhong: "Find a way to burn that monster."

Yanhong was not polite either. In fact,

Her star essence was almost depleted, so she unscrewed the bottle cap, drank the replenishing liquid in one gulp, and then quietly waited for her star essence to recover.

At this time, screams were heard in the field. It turned out that the back of the monster was cracked, and several fibrous roots made of fungi stretched out from it. These tree-like things were dozens of meters long and as thick as arms.

One of the swords hit a soldier, who flew out immediately. His armor was cracked and he lay on the ground vomiting blood.

Previously, the monsters’ attack methods were very monotonous. They would either bite with their mouths, slap with their claws, or sweep with their long tails.

Moreover, it moves slowly, and even though it will be injured if it is touched, the soldiers are flexible enough to always find a gap to dodge.

But the newly added roots were much faster and had amazing strength. I'm afraid only a Fortress class could withstand such an attack.

What's even more despairing is that in addition to flapping, these roots will sometimes raise their bodies like snakes, split open at the front, and spurt out a stream of green-yellow acid.

Those things are very corrosive, and when the ground is rained on, it is immediately corroded and filled with pits.

Suddenly, the situation became dire for the War Gods who were besieging the monster.

After Yunze killed the two plague rats, he looked anxiously at Yanhong. The latter had a solemn expression, and the astral light on her body was weak, and it seemed that she had not recovered yet.

At least, the more powerful abilities cannot be released yet.

At this moment, a blue shadow flashed towards the monster. Yunze looked closely and found that it was Kunlan.

As Kunlan approached the monster, several of its roots slapped down, but the boy dodged flexibly, allowing the monster to miss. He dived under the monster's belly, and the two blades danced, cutting wounds on the monster's belly.

But apart from causing the monsters to drop some anti-world fungi, those wounds have no real killing power on the monsters.

Yunze was also puzzled, and didn't understand why Kunlan would do such a useless thing. Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly retracted his blade, took out two ice bombs from his waist bag, activated them and threw them into the monster's wound.

The grenade entered Kunlan's stomach, and he ran away. A dull explosion suddenly sounded inside the monster, but it looked fine, and continued to hunt down the War Gods around it.

The good times didn't last long. After seven or eight seconds, the monster's movements gradually became sluggish.

At this time, a root was slapped towards one of the warriors. The warrior was about to be unable to dodge and quickly took a defensive posture. But when the root came in front of him, it stopped. It turned out that the surface of the root had been frozen without knowing when.

Looking at the monster again, its entire body was frozen from head to toe. It was Kun Lan's two ice thunders that exploded inside its body that did the trick!

"Yanhong!" Yunze called out hurriedly.

Yanhong nodded and raised her hands. The star energy turned from silver to red and stretched out into the air.

In the air, a ball of red light lit up. The orange light gradually grew larger, and boom, flames suddenly rose from the periphery of the light. When Yanhong pressed down with both hands, a blazing orange fireball fell like a meteor and hit the monster!

There was a flash of fire in the shooting range, followed by a violent explosion. The flames not only engulfed the monster, but also spread out, engulfing the surrounding black people.

After a while, the fire subsided and the monster disappeared. There were charred marks on the ground, and the surface was black and oily. It was unknown how many black people were killed by Yanhong's fireball.

But releasing this

After the fireball, Yanhong sat down on the ground, sweat dripping down like rain. Her whole body was trembling, and her hands and feet were cold. This was the situation where her star essence was consumed too much and exceeded the limit.

However, after Yanhong's explosion, there were not many black civilians left in the shooting range, and Yunze finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this time, Butterfly shouted: "Master, here they come again, the black people are here again!"

"What?"

Yunze looked at the gap in the wall on the other side of the shooting range, and sure enough, a dense crowd of figures poured out from there, making him feel powerless.

At this moment, a sword light suddenly burst out from the wall not far away, followed by a loud bang, and the armored wall collapsed, scattering into large and small fragments on the ground.

Yunze looked and saw a figure coming in. The man had a sword in his hand, and the blade was burning with a line of crimson. It was Tianyang.

Tianyang glanced at the gap on the other side of the shooting range, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then shouted: "Go!"

Yunze also shouted: "Hurry up, everyone, hurry up!"

The Yunlong team evacuated urgently and got out of the shooting range through the gap opened by Tianyang. Everyone felt like they were reborn.

"Master Yunze, are you all right?"

Footsteps were heard, and Liu Chen came running over with a sword in hand. His body was covered in blood, and there was a wound on his face. It looked like he had killed his way over.

Yun Ze shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go, let's go back to the camp and rest. As for Yun Yao, we'll settle the score with him later!"

No one objected to his decision, including Tianyang.

After returning to the camp, several seriously injured team members were sent directly to the first aid cabin, while those with less serious injuries were treated by themselves.

In this operation, Yun Yao did not catch anyone and almost died in the shooting range. Almost everyone was exhausted and even Kun Lan did not have the strength to speak.

Tianyang was better than them, so the boy volunteered to take on the responsibility of defense and ran outside the camp to stand guard.

On the way to the camp, Tianyang chose a secluded corner to sit down, summoning black fog to cover his aura. In this way, if you don't observe him intentionally, it is difficult to find him.

The boy silently took out a bottle of refill solution and drank it, ate something, and then refilled the bullets for Deathstroke.

Recalling what happened today, Tianyang frowned. He always felt that Yun Yao’s plan today was clever, but the flaws were also very obvious.

Even if he didn't stay outside the shooting range, he could still open a gap in there. Even without him doing anything, it wouldn't be particularly difficult for Yanhong or other sublimators to open a gap in there.

Tianyang believed that there was no reason why someone who could set such a trap would not think of this. But why did the other party leave such an obvious flaw, as if deliberately leaving them a way out

Are they going to do so much, even sacrificing two team members, just to deplete the combat effectiveness of the Yunlong team

Therefore, if it wasn't the negligence of the schemer, then there is only one possibility, that the other party has other purposes!

In the main tent of the camp, just as Butterfly bandaged Yunze's wound, Liu Chen came in. The deputy captain also had scars all over his body and looked very embarrassed.

He walked into the main tent and took the initiative to say: "Master Yunze, I made a mistake today and brought everyone into danger. Please punish me!"

Yun Ze sighed and smiled bitterly: "It's not your fault. Even I didn't expect Yun Yao to set such a trap. If you want to talk about carelessness, I am not the same..."
