Chapter 319: Pretending

Gu Yun's previous plan was to test the waters with 10 meteorites before continuing.

Although many of these 10 meteorites were lost, a lot of good things were also produced, especially a monster. In addition, a lot of time was wasted in experimenting with iron beetles and the like.

The sun was setting now and it was getting dark.

Although they are now at the gate of Changhe Base, the night of the apocalypse is still dangerous. So Gu Yun planned to withdraw after firing the last two meteorites, and would talk about the rest tomorrow.

No one else objected.

To survive in the apocalypse, caution is necessary. Anyway, the meteorite is in my hands, and it won't have much impact if it opens one day earlier or later.

Wang Tao brought the No. 9 Crystal Energy Star Meteorite.

It is of epic quality and requires 10 cores. This one is opened using an epic crystal core.

After a while, the meteorite cracked open, and another crystal core appeared.

Wang Tao was a little surprised when he saw this orange crystal core.

"Fourth level promotion crystal core!"

"What, promotion to crystal core?"

After everyone heard it, they immediately ran over. After seeing that there was indeed a promotion crystal core inside, he was immediately overjoyed.

The promotion crystal core is still an orange one with 100% successful fusion!

This is a prerequisite for becoming an awakened person!

Gu Yun suddenly grinned, because this meteorite No. 9 belonged to the city hall!

Wang Tao also had a share of this crystal core, but only a very small share. Gu Yun will definitely not give it to him. Gu Yun will compensate Wang Tao accordingly according to the value of the crystal core.

Of course Wang Tao said there was no problem. Although he also wanted the crystal core, he was only a small shareholder of the meteorite and had no say.

Then comes the last meteorite No. 10.

The epic cores are used to open No. 9, while the ordinary cores are prepared for No. 10.

Wang Tao put these 10 crystal nuclei into the grooves on the meteorite one after another.

The crystal core emits a faint white light. The energy in the crystal core is sucked away by the meteorite and slowly becomes dim.

Click——

A gap opened in the meteorite, and the gap became larger and larger, and the entire meteorite was split into two parts in an instant.

Whoosh——

An elongated black shadow emerged from the meteorite.

"So lucky? Another monster!"

While Wang Tao retreated, he spoke in surprise.

"..."

Others were speechless when they heard this.

Is it good luck to encounter a monster? It seems that you can say the same thing...but the premise is that you can defeat the monster. If you can't win, it will be a disaster.

After seeing the black shadow that came out begin to expand, Shang Heng looked at the several awakened people.

There was no need for him to ask questions this time. Zhou Long immediately said:

"You guys are holding on, let us solve it this time!"

In the previous battle with the two-tailed scorpion, he felt that he was so embarrassed. He wants to get his face back in this battle!

For a person of his status, face is very important. Because only the strong will be respected!

If he wants people to respect him and join their Loyalty Gang, then he has to show his strength.

But it is impossible for him to show how strong he is in front of everyone. He can only show his due strength at certain times and let the audience spontaneously promote it.

If the survivors have a choice, they will definitely be willing to join the stronger force.

If the embarrassing side of Zhou Long's previous battle was publicized, it would be inappropriate for him personally and the Zhongyi Gang. So he has to save his image.

Huang Wu and Qi De also had the same idea.

They need to be shown their strongest side, or at least their strongest side.

The three of them made eye contact, as if they were saying: Stop hiding, and put in more effort this time.

As for Wang Tao, they now feel that Wang Tao may not be hiding anything.

After all, judging from his performance during this period, Wang Tao can't wait to tell everyone what he knows for free.

They had to admit that Wang Tao was really generous! Wang Tao is obviously not a sinister person like them.

And what Huang Wu said before is right. How strong you were before awakening was a matter of time. After awakening, it will be the same as when the apocalypse comes. Everyone is on the same starting line again, and everyone is equally strong!

So they felt that Wang Tao should have tried his best.

Wang Tao naturally did not express any opinion, he agreed to the battle no matter what method it was. Because whether the awakened ones fight in groups or the army covers them with firepower, he has one purpose - to steal heads.

It’s a long story, but it only takes a moment. The monster that ran out had already expanded to the size of a truck, but it was much longer than the truck, almost like a small train.

"What is this? A centipede?"

someone exclaimed.

This is a multi-legged arthropod monster similar to a centipede, with a yellow-black color overall.

It has two dancing yellow tentacles on its head and a set of sharp black jaw teeth. All that's left is the carapace and the slender, sharp, iron-thorn-like legs. Anyone who steps under its feet will be stabbed to pieces in an instant!

grumble--

After the monster grew bigger, it let out an unpleasant roar and then rushed towards everyone.

Rumble——

When it rushed over, it really left two long traces like a train. Large amounts of dust were kicked up by the iron thorns, and the ground shook a little.

Wang Tao was the closest to the monster. When he saw the monster rushing toward him, Wang Tao not only didn't panic, but actually gave it a name.

"The name Iron Thorn Centipede seems quite appropriate!"

[HP: 100000/100000]

[Mana: 60000/60000]

[Level: Level 4 Lord]

[Impurities in the body: 50%]

[Awakening: Strong]

[Strong: All basic attributes are improved in all aspects]

This iron centipede has only 100,000 HP and 60,000 mana, which is relatively low among all the fourth-level lords.

Its awakening is the same as that of the Lord Night Demon, both of which increase physical fitness. It is obviously a melee player.

However, it has too many sharp legs, and it is extremely dangerous if it is entangled.

Rumble--

Just when the iron centipede was about to come in front of Wang Tao, its speed suddenly slowed down.

At some point, some black quicksand appeared under its feet. The faster its feet shook, the deeper it sank.

As the quicksand became more and more, and the range became larger and larger, the speed of the iron centipede became slower and slower. Until all its feet were trapped in the quicksand and stopped completely.

At this time, the iron centipede was still a few meters away from Wang Tao.

Wang Tao could even see a drop of transparent venom falling from its black palate.

Wang Tao took out his pistol and aimed it at the head of the iron thorn centipede.

Bang!

[-4378]

An air bullet hit the head of the iron thorn centipede, causing more than 4,000 damage.

The blue consumption of the air bullet ability is fixed, and there is no way to choose the output size, so when facing enemies with the same defense, its damage is relatively fixed.

Wang Tao shot the double-tailed scorpion before, and each shot only had more than 3,000 HP. Now each shot has more than 4,000 HP, and the damage has increased by 30%. This shows that the iron thorn centipede's defense is much lower than that of the double-tailed scorpion. But it is normal. After all, the double-tailed scorpion has 150,000 HP, while it only has 100,000 HP. There is still a gap in strength between the two.

The air bullet has a cooling time of ten seconds. Wang Tao did not attack again after firing a shot.

Whoosh——

Qi De rushed out from the side with a bone-sliced ​​broadsword.

He rushed into the quicksand and was about to fall into it, but the quicksand under his feet suddenly hardened, and he walked on the quicksand as if it were flat ground!

In the blink of an eye, Qi De rushed to the front of the iron thorn centipede and stabbed its head with a knife.

Bang!

[-8238]

With a muffled sound, the iron thorn centipede lost more than 8,000 blood.

Although the monster was trapped in the quicksand, its body was still able to move. Its flat head turned around, and its sharp palate teeth bit Qi De's waist like a guillotine!

If it was bitten, it would be cut in half!

Qi De squatted slightly, exerted force with his legs, and suddenly jumped more than ten meters high, avoiding the palate teeth of the iron thorn centipede. Then he held the handle of the knife with both hands, with the blade facing down, and fell from the sky.

Puff!

[-12353]

The knife directly stabbed into the head of the iron thorn centipede!

Yellow-green mucus splashed, and 12,000 damage floated out.

Ji——

The iron centipede let out a painful roar, and it shook its head violently, directly throwing Qi De away. Qi De used this force to easily fall outside the quicksand.

On the other side of the iron centipede, Huang Wu appeared silently. He used his shining big knife to cut the iron centipede.

【-3373】

【-1282】

【-1227】

【-1265】

Huang Wu's knife only had 3,000 damage, but his three-second poison attack caused a total of more than 3,000 damage to the iron centipede, which was equivalent to 7,000 damage with one knife!

Huang Wu retreated immediately after the knife.

When the iron centipede attacked him, he had retreated to another part of the iron centipede's body and cut it again.

【-3283】

【-1232】

【-1262】

【-1276】

The iron-thorn centipede screamed in pain.

Although its hundreds of legs could not walk out of the quicksand, it was not immobile. It waved its legs wildly, and there was a flash of swords and sabers.

But Huang Wu's speed increased a lot at once. Facing so many attacks, he was not hit, but took the opportunity to cut the iron-thorn centipede twice.

Bang!

【-4633】

With a loud bang, the iron-thorn centipede lost more than 4,000 HP.

Not far away, Zhou Long was half-crouching, his left hand pressed on the ground, and there was a piece of black quicksand under his hand. In his right hand, he held a strange-shaped big gun, and the muzzle was still smoking!

In a short moment, the iron-thorn centipede had only 50,000 HP left!

Sure enough, when several awakened people attacked with all their strength, they could suppress this third-level lord with only 100,000 HP!

At this moment, a two-story-high black shadow suddenly appeared. He rushed directly into the black quicksand and punched the iron centipede's head.

[-3222]

Gu Yun couldn't hold back and directly used the iron beetle weapon to join the battle!

The iron centipede felt pain and immediately shook its huge palate teeth and bit Gu Yun.

Its ferocious big teeth could only bite Gu Yun's legs in front of him wearing the iron beetle.

Bang!

[-1024]

The iron centipede bit hard, and a white mark appeared on the iron beetle's leg, and lost a thousand blood.

This attack was obviously not a problem for the iron beetle with 50,000 blood. The iron centipede's teeth should be poisonous, but the poison is ineffective against the iron beetle because its fangs can't penetrate at all!

After Gu Yun found that the iron beetle could completely block the iron centipede's attack, he raised his spiked hands and punched the iron centipede!

【-2322】

【-2177】

【……】

Bang, bang, bang——

The iron-thorned centipede was so struck that it was dizzy, its body was dancing, and it was clawing at random.

Gu Yun relied on his high defense and did not dodge at all. He withstood the attack of the iron-spined centipede and exchanged injuries with it!

Gu Yun even pulled the iron-spined centipede out of the black quicksand like an earthworm, and then smashed it into the quicksand, stamping a few feet at the same time.

It has to be said that the close-quarters fight between Gu Yun and the Iron-Spiked Centipede was a feast of violence, and the adrenaline of those around them was soaring!

"It's great! It's so great!"

"Massage, complete massacre!"

"We humans can also kill monsters like this!"

"..."

The onlookers were exchanging words excitedly, as if they were the ones fighting the iron-thorned centipede.

However, some soldiers are a little confused. If everyone is like this in the future, will their firearms have to be retired...

Qi De and others stopped attacking and watched the battle between Gu Yun and Iron Thorn Centipede in a daze.

Is this the actual combat ability of the Iron Beetle... This is so rough and so exciting!

Several people's breathing was a little rapid.

If it weren't for lack of strength, who would be willing to hide around like a mouse? They also want to fight monsters happily like this!

…

Compared to the excitement and complicated moods of others, Wang Tao was very calm.

Gu Yun's or Iron Beetle's combat power was completely beyond his expectation.

This is because Gu Yun is weak and the iron beetle has not reached the upper limit of its own strength, otherwise it will be more violent!

If Zide and the three of them had armed the iron beetle, they wouldn't need helpers. They could basically beat the iron-spiked centipede alone!

Wang Tao took a look at his air bullet power and saw that it could be used again. However, Wang Tao didn't mind his own business after watching Gu Yun and Iron Thorn Centipede having a great time fighting each other.

When there was still a trace of blood left in the Iron Thorn Centipede, Wang Tao raised his pistol.

boom!

【-3234】

【0/100000】

With a gunshot, the Iron Thorn Centipede's health bar cleared.

Gu Yun punched the Iron Thorn Centipede again and found that the Iron Thorn Centipede's body suddenly lost strength.

"Huh? Dead?"

Gu Yun hammered again and found that the iron-thorned centipede was really motionless, so he let go of its body.

Boom——

The iron-thorned centipede landed softly in the quicksand.

Zhou Long, who was not far away, retracted his hand. The ground began to harden, and the black quicksand he had created slowly disappeared.

The three awakened people came to the body of the Iron Thorn Centipede. Looking at the monster that had been hammered to a state of disgrace, the three of them had a bit of pain in their faces.

"Fuck! I wanted to save some of my image, but you two ended up pretending!"

Zhou Long complained crazily in his heart.

The first half of this battle can be said to be perfect.

With the cooperation of several of their awakened people, they directly suppressed the iron-thorned centipede and beat it!

If nothing goes wrong, they will kill the iron-thorned centipede in a calm and unhurried manner, winning everyone's cheers.

But as expected, something unexpected happened——

They didn't expect that Gu Yun would join the battle wearing an iron beetle, and he would blast the iron centipede with an absolutely crushing attitude.

When they saw this scene, they were all very excited subconsciously, let alone others.

They can already imagine that after today, Gu Yun's reputation will be spread in Changhe Base for a long time.

No matter what method he used or what power he relied on, it was a fact that the iron-thorn centipede of the fourth-level lord was exploded by him, a third-level superpower.

At this time, the three of them already knew that their attempt to restore their image would definitely fall short of expectations.

So they prepare to grab the upper hand at the end of the battle.

Now that Gu Yun had stolen the limelight, they had no choice but to take the lead and stop their losses. After all, killing the fourth-level lord will give you the secret key to awakening, and it will also replenish awakening energy.

But the problem is, they can't see the health bar, and they don't know how long the iron-spined centipede can survive.

Seeing how the Iron-thorned Centipede was still jumping around after being blasted by Gu Yun, they thought that the Iron-thorned Centipede still had tenacious vitality.

As a result, Wang Tao fired a shot casually, and the iron-spined centipede died instantly...

What kind of bad luck is this!

If they remembered correctly, Wang Tao didn't move even a step during the entire battle. And he only fired two shots. One shot starts, one shot ends.

Grass!

The more the three of them thought about it, the more uncomfortable they became.

Both of them didn't show off, so they worked for a long time in vain!

Wang Tao naturally didn't know what the three of them were thinking, and he didn't care whether they were showing off or not. He just wanted to wrap up the spoils.

And Wang Tao was not lucky. He had been staring at the Iron Thorn Centipede's health bar for a long time.

If the army is covered by large-scale firepower, it will not be easy for Wang Tao to grab this head. He was lucky last time.

But this time it was different - neither Zhou Long nor the three of them took action. Although Gu Yun kept taking action, his strength was there after all. He only looked at the violence, but in fact the damage was not high. So Wang Tao has plenty of time to prepare for the kill!

When he saw the iron-thorn centipede's blood reaching the kill line, Wang Tao easily took off its head with one shot.

Everything went smoothly and was under Wang Tao's control.

…

"This is the fourth-level weapon, this is the iron beetle!"

Gu Yun disarmed the iron beetle and could not hide the excitement on his face.

He, a level 3 mutant, actually beat up a level 4 lord! Although it was not a one-on-one duel, he did not get the head, but he did beat up a level 4 lord!

Cool! So cool!

Wang Tao was very close to the iron centipede. He took a few steps forward and put the spoils package into the space backpack.

Then he looked through the spoils of the iron centipede again.

This iron centipede was obviously poorer than the two-tailed scorpion, and not many things were exploded.

Not counting the spoils package, it dropped a powerful crystal core and its pair of palatal teeth.

At this time, everyone had come over, and Gu Yun said:

"What do you want?"

This meteorite belongs to the Fourth Legion. The City Hall and Wang Tao took out the opened crystal core, and everyone else participated in the battle... So this iron centipede has a share.

"I want its teeth."

Wang Tao spoke directly.

There are many materials on the iron centipede, and there are hundreds of legs alone. These are all good materials that can be made into weapons. But none of them worked for Wang Tao, he only wanted something with a name.

"I want his main body!"

Zhou Long, Qi De and Huang Wu spoke at the same time.

Gu Yun frowned immediately.

When dividing the spoils, it would be troublesome if multiple people were interested in the same thing.

But before Gu Yun could speak, Shang Heng smiled and said:

"Sorry, the main body of this monster belongs to our Fourth Legion."

Although the Fourth Legion did not fight, they provided the No. 10 meteorite and a large number of crystal cores. They had priority and no one could snatch them.

Wang Tao was puzzled:

"Why do you all want this monster body?"

This thing is not worth much, right? It seems that it can only make cockroach cream worth a few hundred yuan?

Gu Yun didn't react just now, and now seeing Shang Heng also wanting the monster body, he finally reacted and opened his mouth and said:

"You... do you want to feed the iron beetle?"

Everyone nodded.

"..."

Wang Tao was speechless for a while. He was not sure if he could open another iron beetle. Are these people so confident?

The main body of the monster eventually fell into the hands of the Fourth Legion.

Qi De got the powerful crystal core, Zhou Long and Huang Wu got the iron-like legs, the City Hall got the shell with decent defense, and Wang Tao successfully got a pair of big teeth.

After the spoils of the iron-thorn centipede were distributed, the sun had already set and everyone started to go home.

Gu Yun, Zhou Long and others invited Wang Tao to dinner. Obviously, they wanted to win over Wang Tao. Although Wang Tao did not show any combat power, he knew a lot.

Wang Tao naturally declined, after all, he had not yet sorted out the spoils of today.
