"What's the meaning?"
Xu Lei didn't know how Xu Le got this result.
Others also looked at Xu Le, wondering how he made these judgments.
Xu Le pointed to a tree next to the mother bear's body. About 5-6 meters away, there were very obvious claw marks.
“This should be left by some large animal sharpening its claws.
It looks like a bear claw, but the height is ridiculous. If it is really a bear... its height would be over 20 feet.
In addition, there are no other wild animals in the outer area of this forest, which has a more obvious territorial nature.
This mother bear is very weak, not strong enough to dominate this area.
So I think there’s a bigger guy here, a bear, or something.”
Although Xu Le's words were just speculations, they still gave others a feeling that it was very likely.
A 6-meter bear? This specification is indeed a bit exaggerated.
Levis looked at Xu Le with approval, although he was still unclear about Xu Le's strength and R&D capabilities.
But just for this calmness and analytical ability, it is worth a look.
Xu Lei was also somewhat surprised by his cousin's behavior. After hesitating for a moment, he asked:
"So what do you say now?"
Xu Le stared at the little bear and said expressionlessly:
"First kill the little bear shark, then use aerosol to cover up the smell of blood. Even if its cry cannot attract the male bear, it can attract other predators.
The simplest of these predators are of course wild beasts, but there may also be ancient gods and strange ancient sounds, which are all very troublesome.
It has been barking for a while, get ready."
When Li Qingcheng heard Xu Le wanted to kill the little bear, he opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
She had made the mistake of being overly loving during her first mission, so she would not make the same mistake now.
But she always felt that the Xu Le she knew before would not be so cold.
What has he experienced over the years
"What are you preparing for? Just kill them when they come." The seventh mercenary, the girl with a crew cut, said disdainfully.
Her attitude was a bit arrogant, which made Xu Lei frown slightly.
The quality of mercenaries varies, and it is obvious that the quality of the trio in front of us does not look very good.
Although Xu Le also disliked such arrogant people, he didn't say anything.
Normally, even if a beast is deformed...
Um
Everyone heard a rustling sound, but they couldn't tell what it was, but it felt like someone was rubbing the table with sandpaper.
"What's that sound?"
It was obvious that Xu Le was not the only one who heard the sound.
But the direction of the sound was strange, like surround sound, surrounding the entire team and making it impossible to hear the specific direction.
Xu Le clenched the black stick in his right hand and pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his left hand.
"Hey, I bought these glasses for 4 dollars, I hope they won't fall off and break during the battle.
”
Roar! ~
As soon as this thought came to mind, a roar appeared in front of the team.
There was a violent collision, the sound of trees breaking, and branches rubbing against each other right in front of us.
When everyone thought that some huge beast would pounce on them from the front.
A dark shadow suddenly appeared behind the team!
roar!
Its target was the level 2 mercenary who had unknowingly retreated to the back of the team and killed the mother bear and her cubs.
The huge, sharp claws pierced his body and head in an instant. There was no need to examine this headshot wound. There was no doubt that the man was dead.
Unless this person possesses the elemental ability like Xu Le and Gu Beichen, he may still be saved.
Ghost Bear, Level 3 Monster, Ancient Sound Polluter, Awakening - Phantom
Polluter
Only monsters above level 3 may become polluters. As the name suggests, the ancient sound energy emanating from it has reached the point where it can pollute other people.
Wow, this is a polluter with awakened abilities.
They've only been here for 20 minutes and they've already been attacked by a Polluter. Does that count as a door-opening kill
After killing a mercenary, Ghost Bear's body turned into a ball of gray mist and disappeared in front of everyone.
Because he had been paying attention to the hints from Gu Yinduo's secret language, Xu Le didn't even see the other person's specific appearance clearly.
All I remember is that its claws were extremely long, far longer than a normal bear's should be.
Xu Le looked at the tree trunk 5-6 meters away. Those scratches should be left by the ghost bear sharpening its claws.
"Level 3 Strange Ghost Bear, Polluter, should have awakened mystical abilities and can transform into a ghost-like state."
When they heard Xu Le mention the Level 3 polluter, everyone's faces changed drastically.
Xu Le could also understand.
What is the concept of a Level 3 polluter
It is roughly equivalent to the strength of the Light Spider in the Block 53 mission, or even stronger than that.
Of course, the ghost bear is definitely not as strong as the five puppet offspring in the building.
But at that time, the strength of the puppet offspring was enough to face two complete teams of Night's Watch alone.
Xu Le didn't think that the current team was stronger than a team of Night's Watchmen.
"here we go again."
The sound of a rapid charge came again, and Xu Lei knew that as the captain he had to stay calm.
Especially since Li Qingcheng is still here.
No matter what, he had to save Li Qingcheng.
"Brother, what should I do?"
Xu Ting had already drawn the sword from behind her, and several other warriors followed suit.
But most of them held a shotgun in one hand and a knife in the other.
Although firearms have enormous power, they are limited by bullets.
There is no way to change bullets in the dangerous and fast-paced combat game, so a knife is a must.
"Everyone, move closer in a circle and look for rocks or other obstructions nearby.
There is no way to counter this 360-degree unpredictable attack."
"yes."
The group prepared for battle while looking for cover, but before they had walked far, the sound of the ghost bear was getting closer and closer.
roar!
"left."
The bear roared, and Levis was the first to make a judgment. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and a row of twisted seals actually floated in the air, blocking the ghost bear's attack.
Afterwards, these twisting words actually began to spread to the ghost bear's body, binding it.
"Ritual - Binding Spell."
This scene made Xu Le think of the distorted text prompts in his ancient sound multi-perspective.
Are there any connections between the texts in Ancient Sound’s Multi-Vision and the texts in Rune Warlock’s
He raised his gun and shot while thinking.
Xu Lei and the others also reacted, but they didn't expect Levis to be so strong that he could control monsters alone.
"Quick! Shoot."
Bang bang bang!
The ghost bear appeared briefly and was controlled by Levis again, giving other mercenaries a chance to shoot.
The bullets sprayed on the ghost bear like fireworks, and the ghost bear retreated while letting out real screams.
Every bullet would flash a blood mist on it.
Watching this scene, Xu Le looked at several law enforcers.
"Can a shotgun cause such significant damage to a Level 3 polluter? Their guns and bullets...are they a little outrageous?"
Xu Le raised the revolver in his hand and felt something was wrong.
After the ghost bear screamed a few times, it disappeared in front of everyone again.
Xu Le looked at the large bloodstains on the ground and suddenly felt that if these people's weapons had this power, the Level 3 polluter would not be so difficult to deal with.
"Zion's weapon, there's something."
"Xu Le, follow me."
Repulse does not mean kill. Xu Lei was still very clear-headed. He knew very well that it was Levis who blocked the ghost bear just now.
Otherwise, with the ghost bear's attack speed, another person would definitely die.
So they still have to find a larger shelter.
When fighting monsters, the first thing you must do is not to leave your back.
"good."
Xu Le followed the team silently. His physical condition had recovered a little in the past few days, but he was still very thin.
In addition, Qian Muyue has not been exercising quickly recently, so there is still a clear gap in physical strength between him and the warriors.
Originally, he could directly transform into an element and glide at low altitude.
But before he could react, Li Qingcheng grabbed his hand.
"Walk!"
"Forehead?"
Li Qingcheng didn't say anything, he just grabbed Xu Le and ran silently, but Xu Le's running level... those who understand will understand.
When he was at Lighthouse University, he couldn’t even outrun Wang Man!
Therefore, Li Qingcheng's speed was slowed down. Xu Le felt that if he continued like this, he would definitely be caught up by the ghost bear, so he said:
"We will definitely be caught up if we continue like this."
"I definitely won't do that this time."
"..." Xu Le was a little helpless. He had many ways to escape. You, woman, are really crazy!
Rustle! ~
The sound behind them gradually approached, and the ghost bear suddenly jumped out from one side and rushed towards the team.
Bang!
Someone fired a few shots, but the ghost bear, who had been injured last time, immediately misted up and avoided this round of shooting.
Everyone could feel it approaching, but no one knew where it was.
Suddenly, the ghost bear appeared at the corner of the team. There were three targets in front of it, Xu Le, Li Qingcheng, and the fifth mercenary who had been observing the team's situation.
As an old mercenary, Lao Wu was fully capable of pulling out his gun and shooting.
But he didn't know whether he didn't do so because he felt that his gun was not powerful enough or because he just wanted Xu Le and Li Qingcheng to die.
At this time, he rolled back to the side, revealing the gap in the team.
Xu Le and Li Qingcheng were instantly exposed to the ghost bear's sight.
The ghost bear pounced towards the two men.
roar!
Looking at the ghost bear charging towards him, Li Qingcheng's fingers holding Xu Le were already covered in sweat.
She gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with her right hand and her body sank slightly.
Xu Le knew this posture, it was a warrior's arrow thrust.
But he didn't understand. With your body, you were going to lunge at a level 3 polluter? Wouldn't that be suicide
Electric energy flowed, and the brief paralysis made Li Qingcheng stunned for a moment, and then he was pulled aside by Xu Le.
The bear's claws almost brushed past Li Qingcheng.
When the first claw failed, he tried again, but this time support arrived.
bite!
There was a crisp sound of metal clashing, and Xu Ting used her sword to push away the ghost bear's claws. Xu Ting looked at Xu Le and Li Qingcheng:
"Orange? What are you doing? Back off."
Li Qingcheng did not retreat, she just frowned and raised her sword.
"It is the warrior's duty to protect the sorcerer when exploring in the wild. It is the same at all times."
Hearing her say this, Xu Le felt helpless.
But just as Li Qingcheng finished speaking, the ghost bear's body suddenly turned into mist again. When it reappeared, its huge shadow had already obscured Xu Le.
Xu Ting and Li Qingcheng's eyes narrowed at the same time. At this distance, they couldn't avoid it!
Li Qingcheng suddenly shook off Xu Le's fingers and pushed Xu Le aside.
"Stand back."
Xu Le:
Because of the indiscriminate attacks after the golden thunder element is transformed, his battle is not suitable for interference from others.
"Okay, go ahead if you can."
Before Xu Le could finish his words, the ghost bear's claw attack had already arrived. Li Qingcheng and Xu Ting joined forces, using their swords and sabers to barely block the ghost bear's attack.
The two women groaned and were directly suppressed by the ghost bear's claws, falling to their knees on the ground.
"Sister!"
Xu Lei was worried about his sister, so he fired two shots in a row, threw away the shotgun, jumped up suddenly, and shot at the ghost bear, trying to force it back.
But the ghost bear just dodged and grabbed Xu Lei, sweeping him away.
Xu Le knew that he could no longer hold back at this time. Although they were not familiar with each other, they were still people the original owner knew, and they might even be relatives.
He didn't really want to watch these people die in front of him.
He walked forward, holding the black stick.
"Xu Le, what are you doing?" Li Qingcheng saw Xu Le walking forward and wanted to stop him.
But Xu Le didn't give much explanation.
"Please give way."
The black stick turned into a double-barreled black gun in his hand and walked towards the ghost bear not far away.
The ghost bear seemed to have not expected that Xu Le, a seemingly weak guy, would dare to face it like this.
He suddenly stretched out his claws and grabbed Xu Le.
The power of lightning element made Xu Le accelerate instantly and avoid the attack.
At the same time, puppet scorpion No. 9 suddenly appeared, and its tail stinger instantly pierced the ghost bear's ankle and began to inject venom.
roar!
The ghost bear screamed and knelt on the ground. Xu Le directly pointed the muzzle of the gun at the ghost bear's head.
At the same time, the ghost bear's claws swept towards Xu Le.
The blue light flashed for a moment, but Xu Le was not hurt.
When Xu Le was attacked, the black gun was activated at the same time, and two energy bullets directly exploded the ghost bear's head.
Bang!
Blood and other filth splattered everywhere.
When everyone else thought that the ghost bear would die, Xu Le actually retreated again.
At the same time, the headless ghost bear made another sweep, but unfortunately its ankle was pierced and its speed was no longer fast.
And after losing his head, it seems that he can no longer use the Phantom's abilities.
The ghost bear wailed, then stood up, its flesh bulging.
A ghost head suddenly burst out from the heart and bit Xu Le who had smashed his own head.
But this time Xu Lei had already taken action, using both hands to hold the sword to block the attack.
winter!
Xu Lei's knuckles cracked and he retreated backwards.
However, Levis's scorpion also found an opportunity to pounce, cut off the flesh connected to the ghost head with one pincer, and then pierced the ghost bear's heart with its tail stinger.
Xu Ting and Li Qingcheng, two level 2 warriors, also jumped high, and brought down their swords, chopping off the ghost bear's arms.
Headshot, massive blood loss, ruptured heart.
With the accumulation of various injuries, the Ghost Bear, a level 3 polluter monster, finally fell down.
However, its strength still left a deep impression on the group.
Levis walked to Xu Le and gave him a thumbs up:
"Good fight."
"Same here." Xu Le also smiled.
Compared to Levis's admiration for Xu Le's ability, the expressions of Xu Lei and others, including Li Qingcheng, who knew Xu Le, were much more complicated.
The strength that Xu Le just displayed was not only powerful, but also calm and composed, which ordinary law enforcers could not achieve.
When the ghost bear appeared for the fourth time, Xu Ting and Li Qingcheng were obviously stunned.
Only Xu Le was truly able to remain calm, as if everything was under control.
Moreover, when he was dodging just now, his speed obviously increased a lot, and he also had the ability to avoid damage. Is this a warlock
"Ale, you have changed a lot in these few years," said Xu Lei.
Ah Le? It seems that only Lao Zhou calls him that. I feel a little nostalgic.
“People change all the time.”
Xu Le did not explain his abilities in front of these people. Before they were familiar enough with him, he maintained the mystery of the sorcerer so that people would remain in awe.
Not only Xu Lei and his men, but also the two mercenaries.
"Everyone take a break."
After killing the ghost bear, Xu Le walked to the ghost bear and asked:
"As soon as we entered the development area, we encountered a Level 3 polluter, and one person died. What are you going to do next?"
"Go back and report. The mission is abandoned. The danger level of this forest is a bit beyond our expectations."
Hearing Xu Lei say this, Xu Le quickly asked:
"What about the reward for the mission?"
"The failure of the mission in this case has nothing to do with you, so you can collect half of the mission reward when you return now."
Xu Le's eyes lit up, great!
Just hang out for a few hours and kill a bear and you can get half the money
Is there such a good thing
He continued calmly:
"How are the spoils of war and other things distributed?"
Xu Lei glanced at Xu Le. This kind of question of asking for spoils of war is usually asked by mercenaries. Is Xu Le short of money
"Are you short of money?"
"This is none of your business, right? I'm just asking how the spoils should be divided."
The atmosphere between the two was a bit strange. The others just watched silently without saying anything. Xu Lei sighed:
"The spoils of war will be divided equally. Now that one person has died, we, the law enforcers, will give up our share of the spoils of war as compensation."
Xu Le nodded at this distribution method, which was quite humane, but split equally? Haha…
After hearing what Xu Lei said, the remaining two level 3 warrior mercenaries had no objections.
However, Xu Le raised an objection:
"You two have been paddling since just now. When the ghost bear appeared for the third time, the one called Lao Wu should have had a chance to shoot, right? Why didn't you shoot?"
To be honest, Xu Le has completely lost his sense of security with these two mercenaries.
Leaving your back to someone like this? It's a joke.
"Everyone makes mistakes in judgement. My brother is dead."
"Your brother's death has nothing to do with this battle."
Xu Lei also didn't expect that Xu Le would actually confront the mercenaries over the spoils of war.
This situation is relatively rare.
He felt that at this time, the stability of the team was still very important, so he began to persuade:
"Everyone, please stop talking. We have already given up the spoils. I don't want you two to fight over this matter."
Xu Le could understand Xu Lei's approach and wanted to be a peacemaker, but understanding and acceptance are two different things.
In the situation just now, if he didn’t have the ability to protect himself.
One of him and Li Qingcheng must die.
Mercenary habits? Xu Le suddenly laughed:
"I guess you didn't make a mistake in judgment just now. You want me to die?"
Mercenary Lao Wu's eyes narrowed slightly. In fact, Xu Le... guessed right.
Low-difficulty reduction of personnel is actually something that many mercenaries will do.
This will reduce the distribution of spoils to personnel.
Otherwise, how could their team be left with only the fifth, sixth and seventh brothers, because the eldest to fourth brothers were all dead.
Now that the mission has ended prematurely, the two warlocks appear to be together again.
Lao Wu was thinking, now that he had offended the warlock, was he going to completely turn against him because of the spoils
When Lao Wu and Xu Le were confronting each other, Xu Ting on the side suddenly said:
"Brother, the way back before... is gone."
"What?"
