Mechanical Flesh

Although the danger of the dark swamp is gone, new dangers have also arrived.

Although the energy shield had been activated during the life-threatening run just now, because the speed was too fast, even the energy shield could not completely isolate the sound of the engine, which inevitably attracted the attention of the surrounding insects and beasts.

"All vehicles slow down and drive at a safe speed. Combat Squad No. 1, get ready to intercept the insects."

The voice of the convoy commander came from the podium.

Passing through the spiritual fortress, Qi Yuan has already discovered dozens of worms, which are rapidly approaching the convoy.

The only good thing is that among the group of worms that surrounded them, there were no worms of the seventh level of panic. Most of these worms were of the fourth level, and the most powerful one was only of the fifth level.

Seeing that the worms were swarming up and might attack the convoy at any time, a truck suddenly slowed down and landed directly at the back of the convoy.

A fully armed combat team jumped out of the truck, set up their weapons, and blocked the chasing insects.

Seeing this scene, Qi Yuan was a little surprised.

Can a combat team with only seven people, and all of them are Tier 4, be able to block the impact of so many insects and beasts behind?

Only within the scope of mind detection. A total of 21 Tier 4 elite insect beasts appeared, including a Tier 5 beast.

Coupled with the areas that cannot be detected by the area detection, the paper strength of these insects and beasts has completely crushed the combat squad in the rear.

But soon, Qi Yuan knew why this combat team dared to block the attack of insects and beasts several times his own.

I saw a heavy truck that stopped, started to deform on the spot, and turned into a huge robot.

Transformers?

Qi Yuan watched in surprise as a huge lightsaber condensed in the robot's hand, and rushed head-on into the chasing hordes of beasts and beasts.

This giant robot with a height of nearly ten meters, relying on its huge size, directly overturned several insect beasts rushing forward,

"This transforming robot seems to be a technology captured from the Mechanic King's Court. With a fourth-level mechanic, it is enough to exert the power of the fifth-level peak." Fu Qingqing said.

Why haven't I seen it?

Qi Yuan rubbed his chin,

Although this giant robot has not stepped into the fifth level, but with its huge size, its attack power is no less than that of the fifth level peak powerhouse. Together with seven fully armed combat teams, it is indeed possible to block the pursuit of insects and beasts behind. .

But even if they blocked the pursuit of the worms, they would not even think about surviving.

Without the protection of the energy shield, this kind of high-intensity combat fluctuations will definitely spread far in the wilderness, more insects and beasts will be attracted, and the combat team in the rear will be attacked continuously killed by insects.

The convoy continued to move forward without any sign of stopping to support the combat team. In the wilderness, this kind of rearing behind was already tantamount to sacrifice.

After driving slowly for ten minutes, the convoy completely got rid of the pursuit of the worm beast.

A violent explosion came from far behind. Qi Yuan looked back, only to see a huge mushroom cloud rising into the sky, and the violent flames swept away, as if to set the sky on fire.

The robot that reloaded the truck blew itself up!

Looking at the sky in the distance, with flames burning with uncertain light and shade, Qi Yuan's expression was a little heavy.

The self-detonation of the giant robot meant that the entire army of the rear combat team was wiped out.

In the face of real danger, human life is always so fragile, even for the fourth-order powerhouse.

The convoy continued to move forward, but the atmosphere had become a lot more dignified. After the black swamp and the worms' pursuit, the convoy had already lost three heavy trucks.

There are still more than ten lives, although most of them are genetic soldiers, but for the team, these losses are also a bit heavy.

More importantly, the convoy still has not left the red zone, and there are still unknown dangers ahead.

Opening the car window, Qi Yuan tried to relieve the depression in his heart by breathing in fresh air.

Suddenly, Qi Yuan's nose twitched a few times.

"Did you smell a strange breath?" Qi Yuan asked.

Fu Qingqing's nose twitched.

"It's a bit like the bloody smell, but it's a little different from the bloody smell we smelled before."

"Is there a problem?" Fu Qingqing asked.

Qi Yuan had a serious expression on his face.

"Although the smell of blood is very common in the wilderness, the smell of the blood of each worm is different. I remember hundreds of bloody smells of worms, but none of them can match this smell of blood. superior."

"Also, didn't you feel that this bloody smell has been following the convoy?"

Fu Qingqing also realized that something was wrong. Although she did not have such a powerful auxiliary ability as a data center, the powerful memory of a fifth-level ability user also allowed her to remember the blood breath of many insects and beasts. She had never smelled such a The smell of blood.

This means one thing, this kind of worm is not common in the wilderness.

Then, why did this unusual smell of blood appear in the convoy, and followed the convoy all the way.

The smell of blood in the wilderness originally represented injury and weakness, and it was easy to attract insects and beasts to attack. If this kind of blood was a trap for the enemy, the result would only be more terrifying.

It is not unheard of to use some kind of special worm blood as bait to lure panic-level worms to attack.

"Is there an enemy inside the convoy?" Fu Qingqing said.

"It's possible." Qi Yuan said.

Seeing that Fu Qingqing was about to notify the convoy commander, Qi Yuan shook his head and stopped her.

"The team has just experienced two accidents, and now is the time when people's hearts are unstable. If you rashly point out that there are spies in the team, but you can't lock the target, it may cause the team to fall into chaos."

"Then what should we do?" Fu Qingqing asked.

"Let me find the source of the blood breath." Qi Yuan said, slowly closing his eyes.

A flash of surprise flashed in Fu Qingqing's eyes. Up to now, he didn't know what Qi Yuan's Tier 4 core ability was.

It's just that when Qi Yuan gave the warning just now, she vaguely guessed that it might be the mysterious domain or the perception domain.

Qi Yuan showed a powerful combat domain ability at the third level. She originally thought that Qi Yuan's fourth-level core ability would be the combat domain, but now it seems that it seems to be the perception domain.

Although a little surprised, Fu Qingqing was not too surprised. Although the frontal combat ability in the perception domain is not strong, it fits well with Qi Yuan's identity as a researcher.

The only embarrassing thing was Qi Yuan's alienated energy weapon.

After stepping into the fourth level, the formation of the core ability basically confirms the strengthening direction of the ability user. If the flashy ability cannot form a synergy, it will inevitably affect the strengthening of combat power.

Therefore, Qi Yuan's future strengthening direction should be based on the perception domain. Although the perception domain is not weaker than the fighting domain, it does not match the use of alienated energy weapons.

If a combat domain capable person can exert 100% of the power of an alienated energy weapon, then an elemental capable person can only exert 80% of its power, a perception field can only exert 60% of its power, and a mysterious ability can only exert 60% of its power. Under fifty.

The ones most suitable for people with perception domain abilities are of course those mechanical weapons with long-range attack power.

Fu Qingqing never thought that Qi Yuan would have two core abilities at the fourth level.

Through the spiritual fortress, Qi Yuan carefully searched for the source of the bloody smell.

The energy shield can block the escape of breath, but since he can smell the bloody smell, it means that there is something wrong with his car.

The spiritual fortress clearly reflected every hidden corner of the vehicle into Qi Yuan's consciousness, but he did not find any corpses or blood stains.

Since there are no corpses and blood stains, where does the smell of blood come from?

After thinking for a while, Qi Yuan's camera suddenly locked onto the ground where the vehicle was driving.

Before crossing the swamp, the road in the wilderness has been relatively dry, without a few puddles.

But since leaving the swamp, there have been more puddles on the road.

These puddles are not deep, only a shallow layer of sewage.

When the tires run over puddles, there will always be a layer of muddy muddy water on the tires, so the tires of the team have not been dry, and they are covered with a layer of wet and greasy black soil.

Every time a vehicle rolled over these puddles, the vague smell of blood would become more intense.

Someone deliberately moved their hands and feet on the road, and blood seeped into these puddles, which made the convoy tainted with this special bloody aura!

Qi Yuan found the source of the bloody smell.

As for the purpose of the other party doing this, even with their toes, they can think that it must be to attract insects and beasts in the wilderness, and they are some very dangerous insects and beasts.

After discovering something was wrong, Qi Yuan immediately opened the team channel and told his findings.

The convoy channel was silent for a few seconds, and the commander's serious voice finally responded.

"I see, I will send someone to deal with it immediately."

Soon, Qi Yuan saw that the passenger window of a truck in front was rolled down, and a bald man jumped out of the car and stood straight on the roof.

The bald man stepped on the roof of the car and jumped onto the truck in front, then jumped all the way forward until he stood on the first truck.

With a wave of the man's right hand, a huge water dragon condensed out of thin air.

The water dragon circled the first truck and quickly spun it around, cleaning every corner of the truck, even the dirt sticking to the tires.

The water dragon went all the way backwards, cleaning up every car before it turned into a puddle of sewage and landed in the wilderness.

After cleaning all the vehicles, the man did not return to his car, but stood on the roof of the first truck like a flag.

As far as the man could see, all the puddles on the road ahead dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the muddy water stained with blood penetrated deep into the soil, leaving only dry pits.

After the man made a move, the peculiar smell of blood that accompanied him all the way finally disappeared.

If this ability was placed in the old days, it would really be a car washing skill!

Qi Yuan admired in his heart.

However, Qi Yuan also knows that the ability of this elemental ability user is of course not just as simple as washing the car. Since he can control the blood puddles on the ground, he can also control the blood in the enemy's body.

After solving the trap of the blood breath, Qi Yuan did not relax, and used blood puddles on the road to stain the truck with the blood breath, which was obviously a human method.

Although the other party's methods have been broken, it does not mean that he is safe. The enemy has not shown up until now, and the convoy has been in a passive defense.

The reason why the enemy did this was just to use the hands of insects and beasts to deal with the convoy. Once the other party found out that this method was not feasible, they would probably take action themselves.

When the opponent makes a move in person, that is when the team is most dangerous.

Fighting in the red zone is, in a sense, a way of killing each other.

After successively experiencing the dark swamp, the pursuit of insects and beasts, and now the discovery of blood traps, successive encounters made the atmosphere of the team even more tense.

At the edge of the safety line, a palm-sized mouse emerged from the ground, its two eyes glowing faintly, watching the convoy moving forward.

In a dark crypt, a man slowly opened his eyes.

"I didn't expect to be discovered!" The man said to himself.

If there are people from the Black Steel Shelter here, they will find that this man is Le Changkun who disappeared from the Ministry of Order.

Before Le Huaizhou decided to deal with Qi Yuan himself, Le Changkun quietly left the Black Steel Shelter.

No one expected that Le Changkun would hide in the red area.

A man wrapped in animal skins and with a black scorpion tattooed on half of his face came out from the depths of the cave.

The black scorpion tattoo shows the identity of the man - the black scorpion of the bandit.

"What should we do now?"

"Without the temptation of the smell of blood, the black soul would not take the initiative to attack the convoy. Do I need to control a few worms to attract the black soul to the convoy?"

Le Changkun shook his head.

"Black Soul is a panic-level worm. It is different from the worms you usually deal with. Panic-level worms have high intelligence. A few elite worms are not enough for them to attack the convoy."

"Don't take the initiative to provoke it, otherwise, it is likely to lock us as the target of attack."

Black Scorpion fell silent. As an exile who was expelled from the Black Steel Shelter, he hated everything in the Black Steel Shelter. That's why he was secretly bought by Le Changkun to recruit those exiles who were expelled from the Black Steel Shelter. Bandit gang.

The desolate gang led by Black Scorpion has attacked the convoys and hunting teams sheltered by Heigang many times, and has also been encircled and suppressed several times.

In order to avoid the siege of the Black Steel Shelter, they had to often enter the red area to hide.

If it wasn't for the fact that this convoy was too large, with the strength of these bandits under his command, they would not be the convoy's opponent at all, and he didn't want to provoke such a terrifying existence as the Black Soul.

But if he watched such a convoy pass by in front of him, but couldn't sit down, he would feel unwilling.

This convoy going to the front line must have a lot of supplies. As long as a vehicle full of supplies can be intercepted, it will be enough to arm all the bandits under him.

"Since the first plan has failed, let's implement the second plan." Le Changkun said.

"I have received news that Qi Yuan is in the convoy, and I will kill him at all costs."

Hei Scorpion nodded. His gang of desolate bandits was able to survive under the siege of the Black Steel Shelter, mainly relying on Le Changkun's secret support.

Now, although Le Changkun was forced to escape from the Black Steel Shelter, he had a thicker thigh behind him - the Mechanical Royal Court.

As long as he can complete this vote, he can take these wild bandits under his command and turn around to defect to the mechanical king's court!
