Early this morning, Luo Ling went to the Demon Hunting Guild for a walk. He didn't go to the Demon Hunting Guild just to read the mission briefings. Today, unlike in ancient times, receiving and querying missions can be completed using a computer within the range of the network signal, just like buying stocks.
Similarly, even the poorest witcher will still spend this money. After all, everyone wants to take on a good task. The reason why there are those who are quick and those who are slow will not is very simple.
Luo Ling went to apply for a license. The advantage of a license is the accumulation of reputation, because when non-guild members complete tasks, the guild will keep their names anonymous, while guild members not only have specific details of completed tasks, but the guild appraiser will also give them according to the regulations.
An evaluation. In this way, the employer can get a rough idea of a witcher's ability just from the information. Therefore, a successful witcher will find money in the early stage and money in the later stage. The difference between this is
Quite huge. For example, if a rich man wants to go to a neighboring base, the total surface area he passes through is less than 500 meters, which is still a common place for people to walk. He is willing to spend 3,000 palladium to hire a witcher with a 100% mission completion rate to feel at ease.
This is simply equivalent to giving money for free.
Luo Ling thought, it would be more convenient for him to gain some fame, so as not to harass him like he did last night, which caused his wallet to shrink by nearly 50,000 gold. Even if he has money, he is not such a spendthrift.
Fa. As for the missions, Luo Ling didn't accept any of them. This time, the missions were just casual, and protecting Song Yizhou was the most important thing. Anyway, he had read a lot of mission information. When he finally returned, he took a look and saw which one was enough.
I received the assignment directly and handed it over without any delay.
After coming out of the Demon Hunting Guild, he went home and said hello. After checking his weapons, equipment, and luggage one by one, and packing them tightly and neatly, Luo Ling left the Anshun Street base directly. He didn't know when Song Yizhou and the others would set off, and which entrance and exit they would go through.
, But don’t worry, Song Yizhou bought a locator at a high price, and the search radius is 5 kilometers. As long as Luo Ling is not too far from the base, he will know when Song Yizhou goes out.
The sky is still gray, and the smoke drifting out from the cracks in the space is diffused everywhere, like fog in the morning, making the dilapidated neighborhoods look ghostly. Naturally, the monsters wandering there also appear to be more ghostly.
Maybe it was because so many people died that year that low-level monsters like zombies could never be killed. Two years later, most zombies no longer have any clothes on them. At most, they only have cloth strips hanging on them, belts or something like that. Photo
With this level of exposure, the wish of some nymphos to "take a mixed bath as soon as they step out" seems to have come true. However, the zombies are by no means as fair-skinned and tender as the male and female protagonists in the movie, ***
*, the man is high-spirited and the woman is coquettish. Especially after seeing the monster that the survivors call 'pretty fat', I guarantee that I will no longer be in the mood to walk around the streets and look at naked paintings.
The fat scientific name is the Hermit Crab Demon. The name is a bit strange, but it is very vivid. First of all, it is a parasitic organism. It is just a bumpy meat ball the size of a football, and it is covered with tubular tentacles as thick as the small intestine. This state
The hermit crab demons are the weakest and have almost no attack power, but their touch is quite sensitive. The slight vibration in the air allows them to distinguish the outlines and shapes of other creatures and distinguish whether they are enemies or friends, so they rarely
Some witchers have seen hermit crabs in this state.
One of the great abilities of the Hermit Crab Demon is the fusion of demon bodies, and it especially likes to fuse with demonized zombies. But like other monsters, it will not kill its own kind. (It is said that this inference only applies to low-level monsters.) Therefore,
What the Hermit Crab Demon fuses are broken limbs. Usually, it picks up corpses like a scavenger and blends them into its own body. Of course, there is an upper limit to the amount of fusion it can fuse, after all, the control center is only so small.
A qualified Hermit Crab Demon is about three meters tall. There is no waist or chest. It is just a pile, like a big ball, and its upper limbs are human-like. You can see this from the stretched demon muscles on its shoulders and the thickness of its arms.
This guy has extraordinary strength. The ends of its forearms are not hands, but large pincers like crab claws, which are as rough as rocks and as hard as metal. Its legs are anti-joints, and its claws are generally similar to those of a tyrannosaurus, with three in front and three in back.
One, it is divided into two petals, but sometimes it is two petals, sometimes it is multiple petals, as long as it can support its body balance.
If you observe a little more carefully, you will find that this guy's claws are the fusion of human legs and feet, and that claw is often a human foot. In fact, this kind of situation occurs in many places on the body of the hermit crab.
You can see that because the fusion is not complete, it looks like the stump of the limb was forcibly glued together with adhesive, and some new muscle tissue was formed after applying it.
The Hermit Crab Demon has no obvious head. Its heads are all on the bloated body, which are the human heads that it has fused. It doesn’t matter if they are fused, the face still has expressions, the eyes can still move, and the eyes can blink.
, the mouth can still move, and it can also scream. It looks like a collection of living beings in myths and legends who went to hell and suffered some kind of punishment.
The hermit crab not only has powerful mass weapons, but also a dangerous long-range weapon, the bone-splitting aphid. The bone-splitting aphid is a kind of demonic insect that lives on the body of the fat man. It feeds on the secretions of the hermit crab's body.
This kind of secretion is the waste residue spit out by the hermit crab after absorbing the magic energy. It can be understood as the poop of the hermit crab. However, people can poop all over their bodies. You can imagine how smelly this guy is!
Bone aphids have no choice but to feed on hermit crabs. In comparison, they prefer fresh life forms, such as human flesh. However, eating living people is a bit too extravagant, so in most cases, they will
Treat the human body as an incubation tank, and when they see a living person, they will swarm over it, and then explode themselves with a bang. Its power is like a detonator. Not only can it release poisonous smoke, but it can also shatter its own shell and shoot it out, hurting people.
Cause direct damage. It is these broken sharp bone spurs that attach a large number of bone aphids young eggs. After entering the human body, naturally there is no need to worry about eating and drinking. What a pity for the hearts of parents in the world! Let us sacrifice for the great bone aphids.
, thumbs up for the dedication!
Due to the danger and difficulty of the Hermit Crab Demon, the rewards for tasks related to this monster are very high, but not many demon hunters are interested. Now Luo Ling has encountered such a difficult nut to crack.
The Crab Demon is about 3.5 meters tall and weighs almost 300kg. Judging from the color and development of the demonic muscles on its body, it must have been formed for some time.
Crouching on top of a newsstand on the side of the road, Luo Ling took a modified XM57-'Son of God' sniper rifle and shot at the fat man more than 200 meters away.
The magic explosive bomb accurately hit the fat left shoulder, bang! A small handful of cyan light burst out, and a dent as big as a bowl was blown out of the Hermit Crab Demon's left shoulder. The Hermit Crab Demon could not feel pain, but it knew that it was being attacked.
The heads and eyes on the fat body moved around, looking for enemies.
Bang! Bang! With two consecutive shots, Luo Ling almost didn't aim. This rate of fire was completely the fastest rate of fire for this single-shot sniper rifle. Explosions of magic light flashed on the Hermit Crab Demon's left shoulder, and three times
After the gunshot, the left arm of the Hermit Crab Demon was only connected by skin and flesh.
Continuous shooting allowed the hermit crab demon to determine Luo Ling's position. The heads on its body howled together, like a three-legged beast, and charged towards Luo Ling while standing upright.
Bang! Another single shot, and then two consecutive shots, which also bounced into the flesh. This time, Luo Ling's target was the Hermit Crab Demon's right leg, its anti-joint knee to be precise. His modified gun
The power of the sniper rifle at the back is unparalleled. A magic explosive bomb is enough to blow a hole in the side deck of a main battle tank. No matter how rough and thick the legs of the hermit crab are, they cannot withstand such continuous shooting.
, besides, it weighs more than 600 kilograms.
Click! The leg of the Hermit Crab Demon was broken. Fortunately, its upper arm was long enough, and its left leg and right arm were still very fast. At this time, it was less than 20 meters away from the newsstand where Luo Ling was, and its moving speed was even faster.
Fast, that is definitely faster than the African cheetah.
Boo! The Hermit Crab Demon's shoulder collision directly ravaged the newsstand into a pile of dented and shrunken scrap metal shells. However, Luo Ling had already moved his position at this time. A high-fiber rope was coiled and shrunk when the Hermit Crab Demon struck.
In an instant, Luo Ling was pulled diagonally back toward the part that protruded from the top of a street light pole. Luo Ling, who was in the air, did not forget to throw an incineration grenade. The main substance of this grenade was the element of fire. It exploded with a bang.
There is a sea of fire with a radius of two meters, and the temperature is only higher than the flame of the flamethrower in the past.
The 30 palladium grenade was indeed extremely effective. The raging flames enveloped the whole body of the Hermit Crab Demon. Burns were not counted. The key was to burn to death and explode all the bone-splitting aphids that the Hermit Crab Demon had not had time to shake off.
Luo Ling himself also knew that he was actually a little too cautious. The bone-splitting aphids would not attack him at all. His physique was already abnormally large, not to mention that he was now wearing a modified version of the sniper module armor suit with the best isolation effect.
Even if he doesn't wear it, and he is in human form, unless the monster sees or judges Luo Ling's attacks, he will definitely regard him as one of his own. This is one of the main reasons why Luo Ling can survive on the surface for a long time. Change
As an ordinary person, no matter how much you cover up, you will inevitably leak out a little bit of "humanity". Just this little bit of "humanity" is equivalent to a ball of fire in the wilderness at night, enough to attract a large number of monsters to attack. If that's the case
, No matter how capable Luo Ling is, he will be exhausted already.
A fire can't burn the hermit crab to death, but the high temperature will stimulate it to secrete a large amount of adenoid hormones, making it stronger and more flexible. The hermit crab demon howled, rolled and crawled forward, and then waved its only right hand.
He slashed his arm toward the street lamp pole, and wow! The thick bottom pillar of the street lamp suddenly bent 130 degrees.
Luo Ling did not enjoy thrilling shocks. He did not launch an attack for a long time, just waiting for this opportunity. At this time, Luo Ling had already calmly put away his sniper rifle, held the broad sword in his hand, jumped into the air, and filled the sword with magic energy.
With a sharp slash, poof! The right arm of the Hermit Crab Demon was cut off at the base. Then he did a somersault, twisted his body, turned in the air, and cut off the Hermit Crab Demon's only left arm with one strike.
Legs. Now, the hermit crab demon has become a gourd. If he wants to run away, he can only rely on rolling.
The hermit crab demon said, get out of here, a good man won't suffer the immediate consequences! Knowing that he was outmatched, the hermit crab demon really rolled away. It turned into a burning fireball and rolled down the road.
Luo Ling didn't stop him, he just stayed behind. Not long after, there was a bang, and the meat ball stopped. It was a defensive wall made of concrete blocks that were meters high, meters wide, and several meters long.
, was originally a bunker used by humans to resist monsters. Similar simple fortifications can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. Although the Hermit Crab Demon is heavy enough, it cannot shake such physical objects.
The Hermit Crab Demon couldn't roll anymore, and most of the fire on his body was extinguished. Luo Ling's sword came right after him. The sword technique of 'cutting grapefruit' was as sharp and intensive as a violent storm, without a moment's pause. Finally, the Hermit Crab Demon
The true body is revealed.
The grown-up Hermit Crab Demon is smaller in size. It is just a meat ball the size of an adult's palm. It is black and purple in color and pulses like a heart. This guy can float and move forward in places with sufficient magic energy, even on the surface of the earth.
It can float forward like water, with the help of the magic energy emitted by the cracks in space. But how can Luo Ling let his prey run away?
The air filtration system on the helmet's visor could provide Luo Ling with clean, high-quality air, but in his mind, Luo Ling still felt that it stunk. He couldn't figure out how something like this, which comes from smelly meat, could be so damn bad.
Looking for delicacies that are hard to find underground! Could it be the great principle of preserved eggs or stinky tofu? I think back then, he, Luo Ling, was also a character who was hungry for demon meat and thirsty for polluted water, but he offered a high price to buy hermit crab demon meat.
Compared with my dear friend, there is obviously still a gap!
"Hey! I'll give you a fresh living creature this time. Let's eat it as a monkey's brain!" Thinking maliciously, Luo Ling stuffed the hermit crab demon into the magic storage hibernation box, which is a regular container for witchers.
One type, the concentration of magic energy can be adjusted according to needs, and is used to contain living monsters.
There is a demand for hermit crab monsters in more than one mission, and not one can satisfy it. After a period of accumulation, the number of hermit crab monsters near the Anshun Street base is still quite considerable, so there is no need to go to the monster pile to find this.
Although this kind of monster is difficult to deal with, with thick skin and thick armor, and fast movement speed, it is a bit stupid and slow. At the same time, its cruelty is not high. It is not the kind of enemy that kills his wife and seizes his son as soon as he sees a person.
, the unyielding master. Demon hunters generally don’t spend a lot of effort to fight against them. They will hide and go around when they can. Demon hunting also has a cost-effectiveness problem. For a person like Luo Ling, one incendiary grenade can
A few violent magic bullets can take down a big guy, which is unique.
Make use of the environment, lay some natural traps, and then lure the hermit crab demon to attack. Luo Ling's tactics are very particular about rhythm. Don't attack too hard at the beginning. If the attack is too heavy, the hermit crab demon will escape when it sees that the momentum is not right. Don't be too gentle either.
, if it is too light, it will not have the effect of weakening its combat power. It will only delay the battle that was originally resolved in 2 or 3 minutes. The longer it is delayed, the more dangerous it will be. After all, there are not only hermit crabs in the ruins of this city.
If the movement is too loud and the time goes by, other monsters will swarm in, which will cause trouble. Moreover, the combat area cannot be too large, so as to avoid alerting too many monsters.
Luo Ling's tactic was very effective. He cut off one of his arms first, which was enough to provoke the Hermit Crab Demon to attack, but also caused considerable damage to it. Then he cut off one of its symmetrical legs. In this case, the Hermit Crab Demon relied on its other foot to increase its strength.
An upper arm can also ensure a good speed of movement. If it uses itself as bait, the Hermit Crab Demon will see that the enemy is within easy reach, and will often charge and fight. At this time, it can take the opportunity to cut off its arm, and then it is basically done.
Of course, this is all based on precise and effective strikes, which require a series of smooth movements, making the hermit monster become a caged bird in the inertial reaction that lacks effective thinking.
After catching sixteen Hermit Crab Demons, his series of actions caused a lot of confusion around the base. There were obvious signs of an increase in the number of monsters. Luo Ling felt that his warm-up activities were almost done, so he stopped.
