Chapter 64 Iron-Headed Centipede
Listening to Gongsun Daoming's description, Man Jiang stepped forward and carefully observed the pattern on the relief. After a moment of silence, he turned around and looked at the equipment of everyone around him. The only weapon close to him was dagger. Using daggers to deal with such powerful monsters seemed too thin. If he continued to move, the daggers would probably break first. For this reason, he couldn't help but regret it. It would have been great if he had brought a few more thick steel swords.
"This relief was from many years ago. Maybe those ghouls would have died long ago." Man Jiang whispered, as if he was talking to the people next to him, and it seemed like he was comforting himself.
"Hmph, boy Man Jiang, don't estimate things too optimistic." Gongsun Daoming took a small piece of soil from the stone wall and observed it carefully, while saying with a serious expression: "The ghoul is a creature with strong reproduction ability and can even eat the corpses of his companions to feed. When there is no food, he can even use the underground yin energy to enter a hibernation-like state. Once there is movement, he will wake up immediately."
Liu Feng interrupted at this time: "Now we can only take one step at a time. The underground space is large, maybe we can avoid it if we are lucky. Moreover, this space is unlikely to be the ultimate place of the energy well. It should be just the area on the surface and the outer area. Let's search first, and it's best to get some equipment before the people of the Bauhinia come in to improve their combat effectiveness."
"It's unlikely. The distance here is not particularly far from Sunset City. According to the ground height of Sunset City, we are now at least one thousand meters below the ground. Further down there are frequent crust activities, and there are even terrifying environments such as magma." Team doctor Grade has had some research on geology and raised his own questions.
Gongsun Daoming frowned and thought about it carefully, but agreed with Liu Feng's opinion. "What Liu Feng said makes sense. The air in this underground space is smooth. Apart from the gloomy light, it is not essentially different from the outside world. It should not look like there are important treasures, but we should be careful."
Everyone spoke while moving forward vigilantly.
After walking for a while, the oxygen in the air gradually became less and less. The breathing sounds between the people were slightly audible, and the light became relatively dimmed. The temperature was slowly decreasing, but it was far from reaching the limit that humans could bear.
There has been no danger on the road, and no valuable thing has been discovered. People's hearts have gradually relaxed and their speed has also moved forward much faster. In order to expand the search range, the eighteen people gradually dispersed, just keeping the distance that can be seen by their eyes. They are searching while moving forward.
Ah ~uh ~
Two screams came from the front, and the two soldiers suddenly rushed to the ground, and black multi-legged creatures more than one meter long crawled on their bodies and started to bite them hard.
The creatures had sharp teeth, long legs, like iron thorns, drilled into the gaps in the soft armor of the two soldiers, pierced deeply into their bodies, and injected streams of toxins into them.
In just two or three seconds, the two soldiers did not even fire, and the toxins that invaded their hearts had already killed them!
A loud sound came from afar, getting closer and closer, gradually turning into a dense rustling sound. A group of black shadows rushed towards the bodies of the two soldiers, and the majority of the remaining ones rushed towards the large number of places.
"It's an iron-headed centipede!" Someone shouted, his voice full of fear.
Iron-headed centipede! Others were also shocked.
The iron-headed centipede is not a new species. Even in the old era, it was an ancient species. This creature has tiny cone tubes in its dense footsteps. The cone tube has black venom with a highly toxic body, and its whole body is as hard as iron. What's strange is that in this new era where even the human genetic structure is already unstable, the genes of the iron-headed centipede are still stable, with no signs of mutation, and are evolving in an orderly manner, which shows the special nature of this clan.
This centipede has a strong radiation resistance, which is much more tenacious than some large mutant creatures that live on the surface all year round. It often appears in dark and humid places such as swamps, wet caves, etc. I didn't expect that there would be so many here.
This kind of creature is not unavailable to deal with it. If it is single-only, even an ordinary soldier can shoot a centipede with a rifle and hit the vital part of the centipede. However, if in a special and narrow space, even a high-level combat team is attacked by a large number of iron-headed centipedes at close range, once it is hit by a centipede poison, it will immediately die.
So many iron-headed centipedes appeared here, and suddenly launched a sneak attack, killing two elite soldiers at once, and then rushed towards everyone at a very fast speed, which immediately made most people turn aside.
"Let's fire! Hit me hard!" Man Jiang shouted angrily, and he was about to shoot the rifle, and the others loaded bullets.
"Don't fire!" Gongsun Daoming jumped up and knocked Man Jiang's head with his hand. "You can't kill a few of them when you fire now. You will scare away these stupid centipedes!"
Man Jiang tilted his head: "Can we wait here to die?"
The group of iron-headed centipedes crawled extremely fast. In an instant, they were less than fifty meters away from the front. Many soldiers began to get nervous, but they did not dare to violate the commander's orders, and their expressions changed several times.
"There is a special white substance in the heads of these iron-headed centipedes. They can increase the evolution point after taking it out. It can be said that these guys are all evolution points one by one. They usually live in dangerous places such as swamps and caves, and there are not many. This time, they encounter so many at once, so they can't let go of anything. When they get close, they will open fire!" Gongsun Daoming quickly said in brief words.
Man Jiang looked surprised: "Don't the evolution points all accumulate by fighting?"
"The leader said it well. Among the special genetic agents that can increase evolution points, the brain tissue of the iron-headed centipede is indeed a very important component. Unfortunately, our hospital does not have a comprehensive understanding of this technology. The agent developed can only be directly generated, but cannot exist in the body in the form of evolution points. It is restricted in its application. I didn't expect it to be taken directly." Doctor Glade looked excited, and looked at the iron-headed centipede in the distance, looking at the distance no longer nervous, but full of excitement.
After 7 seconds...
"Open fire!"
"Open fire!"
Manjiang and Gongsun Daoming issued orders almost at the same time.
All kinds of gunfire sounded almost at the same time. Bullets poured out like raindrops, hitting the torso of the iron-headed centipedes, and sparks appeared on their heads.
