Chapter 177: Fire x Giants(1/2)
The doctor looked at the soldiers who were entangled in a large number of branches and fell to the ground, struggling in pain. He gritted his teeth, took out a military shovel from his backpack, rushed forward, and swung it down towards the branches covered with flowers.
puff!
But because he was not strong enough, he did not cut off completely with the shovel, but only cut off one or two branches. When he wanted to swing the shovel again, a large number of branches wrapped around his body, as in the previous scene, together with the military shovel in his hand.
Zheng~
Suddenly, white sword lights flashed by, and when the doctor came to his senses, Captain Olsen had already carried him away from the sea of flowers.
"Ah uh..."
But the soldier who was responsible for protecting the doctor was still entangled in a large number of branches, and there was a slight "click" sound all over his body. The soldier's eyes widened, and soon there was no sound.
"Damn it!"
Captain Olsen looked at the suddenly rioting sea of flowers with a gloomy expression.
"Pyro!"
Captain Olsen shouted, and immediately ten burly soldiers carrying military flamethrowers rushed forward and pressed the switch towards the rioting sea of flowers ahead.
boom!
The gun muzzle spurted out a stream of flames instantly, and the sea of flowers immediately burst into flames. The countless flower branches tried to break through the flames in such fierce flames, but they only struggled for a moment before turning into ashes and dissipating in the flames.
.
"Fortunately, we have just entered here, otherwise..."
Captain Olson was afraid that if they waited for them to completely enter this sea of flowers, the army of thousands of people might be immediately dispersed. By then, even using flamethrowers would only hasten the destruction of his own people.
At this time, Yilumi and others were in the flower sea area.
"Send a small Falcon drone to the rear to confirm the situation."
Ilumi looked at Pride, who tapped his chin and flicked his finger on the screen.
Click!
A gap opened above the supply backpack of one of the thirty Avengers soldiers, and it slowly opened.
Buzz~
A small Falcon drone slowly took off and circled above everyone's heads. It turned into an afterimage and disappeared instantly.
"These guys, what on earth do they have in that super big backpack?"
Byande's team was once again surprised by this force. They actually had this thing in their backpacks? How much stuff was packed in it?
"The army used flamethrowers, and the branches of the sea of flowers were indeed attacking them. But they used flamethrowers, so there is no problem so far."
In less than five seconds, the situation of the rear investigation team was displayed on Pride's screen. Pride reported to Ilumi based on the situation on the screen, and also told other members present.
"Why didn't you attack us?"
Biyande pinched his chin, looking thoughtful.
"The reason is unknown. Should we continue to move forward? Now that we know that these branches can move, if we continue to move forward, I am afraid what will happen to us."
Cervantes frowned and looked at Biande. According to his cautious character, he should retreat and join the investigation team behind him at this time, and analyze whether he could move forward through a different route based on the situation.
"Then go back."
Yilumi spoke. Now that he knows there is danger in this sea of flowers, he can no longer move forward. He will only encounter greater dangers in the future.
"What? Just ignore them."
Grid looked displeased. He didn't want to worry about the Cajun Empire investigation team. Anyway, they were just using the Cajun Empire's channels to go to the Dark Continent.
Now that Envi has figured out the transaction procedures between the Kajin Empire and [Gatekeeper], and they have successfully arrived in the Dark Continent, the Kajin Empire is useless.
"The investigation team and the army are still useful."
Kim Bradley glanced at Glid with a serious expression. There are many talents in the investigation team, and they may be useful in subsequent explorations, and an army of thousands of people can also be powerful when encountering a crisis.
function.
It doesn't mean that they have to put aside their relationship with the Cajun Empire's investigation team when they come to the Dark Continent. A better option is to use each other.
Anyway, they have enough supplies and plenty of time, so they are not afraid of wasting time by taking detours.
"Since they didn't attack us, there must be a reason. Maybe it has something to do with the number of people. We only have fifty people, but they are an investigation team of a thousand people. Maybe they are attacked just because they have too many people."
While Pride was speaking, he still looked down at the picture on the screen. The army had withdrawn from the sea of flowers.
But for some reason, even when it rains, the sea of flowers is still burning due to the flamethrower, which may cause serious forest fires.
"I think we either need to speed up and leave this forest, or go back now. The fire will expand very quickly, and by then it will be too late."
Pride looked serious. He raised the tablet in his hand for everyone to watch. Everyone in the hunter investigation team had good eyesight and could clearly see the sea of fire on the screen, and they looked hesitant.
"let's go."
Ilumi didn't wait for Biyang De to answer, and turned around and walked towards the back.
"Bi Yangde..."
Cervantes looked at Biande with a questioning tone. Biyande did not respond and stepped forward to keep up with Ilumi and others. Looking at Biyande's actions, Cervantes understood.
What he meant was that fourteen people followed closely behind.
None of us are novice hunters, so there are some things we don’t need to say.
"The fire area is getting bigger and bigger."
Three minutes later, Yilumi and others only walked for three minutes before they saw the forest fire burning in front of them. The flames even climbed along the thick trunks to the top.
Even if it's raining lightly now, it still can't stop the spread of the fire.
"It's weird, why are all the flowers burned?"
A hunter in the team noticed a strange phenomenon and couldn't help but wonder.
After being reminded by him, others immediately noticed this strange phenomenon. Whether it was on the tree trunks or on the ground, it was the strange flowers that were burning instead of the trees.
hiss!
Suddenly, there was a neighing sound from a distance, and a dinosaur-like monster that reached the height of an adult emerged from the sea of flowers and ran towards Ilumi and the others.
To say it looks like a dinosaur means that its body shape and characteristics are like a dinosaur, but the back of its head has a structure that looks like petals, and it also shows various colors, just like the petals in a sea of flowers.
It is very fast, faster than ordinary hunters, and can rush in front of Illumi and others in an instant.
Puff puff……
But before it could get closer, the five Avengers soldiers pulled the triggers at the same time, and a large amount of blood suddenly burst out from the "dinosaur". It fell to the ground with a loud "bang", closed its eyes and stopped moving, dying.
"What kind of creature is this?"
Biologist Natalie was the first to step forward and wanted to observe it.
Hoarse~!
But unexpectedly, this creature was not completely dead. When Natalie got close to it, a mouthful of green liquid suddenly spurted out from its mouth, splattering on Natalie's combat uniform.
Hiss, hiss...
White smoke immediately emitted from Natalie's combat uniform, mixed with an unpleasant odor.
"This liquid is corrosive!"
Natalie reacted quickly, immediately took off her coat and threw it on the ground. She took out a pistol and shot the creature on the ground continuously in the head until the magazine was empty.
Hiss~
Woohoo~
Jiwu~jiwu~
The scope of the fire is getting bigger and bigger, the originally humid air quickly becomes dry, more and more small creatures appear in this forest, and strange chirping sounds are endless.
"This kind of thing is not important now. Get out of here quickly."
Someone reminded them, and when everyone came back to their senses, they immediately quickened their pace. But the next moment, everyone stopped.
Boom...boom...boom...
No matter whether it was in front or behind, on the left or on the right, there was a deafening sound of footsteps everywhere, as if there were thousands of troops running.
Wow…
It was not the sound of rain, but a large number of raindrops on the leaves above the head due to the vibration of the ground. They dripped densely on everyone's forehead, along the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, and the lips, all the way down to the chin, and finally dripped to the ground.
"Hey, hey, is there some big monster coming out?"
Grid looked excited and had a sinister smile on his face.
He learned from Ilumi's mouth and the written records of V5's exploration of the Dark Continent that the Dark Continent was extremely dangerous, but until this shock occurred, they were all safe, and he had long been impatient.
Now finally something happened that met his expectations.
"Pride, have you seen it?"
Ilumi looked at Pride with a solemn expression. At this time, the young lady also had a serious expression and handed the tablet to Ilumi for him to watch.
To be continued...
