Chapter 244 236 Mining
Under the strong light, it can be seen that the distribution density of the fish-scale armored monsters in the mining area is much lower than that during the day. The sound of the explosion shook the mining area. In an instant, the fish-scale armored monsters gathered in the direction of the flares. "Whoosh" a small hill quickly rose in the direction where the flares fell. The light from the flares was blocked little by little until the world was completely plunged into darkness again.
The rustling sound of the monsters' shells colliding as they moved was like spring silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves. Under the cover of the dark night,
Rong Xianxian used the brief moment of light to quickly find the area she had explored during the day and pointed with her finger, "Alie, clear that area first."
"Okay." Cui Lie threw another gasoline bomb in the direction of the original flare. He wanted to see if this monster would pounce on the gasoline bomb.
There was a loud "bang" sound of an explosion, and a burst of fire splashed out and rolled. The bright red flames licked the nearby monsters like a fire snake. It seemed that even the air near the incendiary bomb was burning, and a vacuum zone appeared.
However, the scene below made Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie terrified. Those fish-scale armored monsters seemed to have no idea what fear was. They rushed towards the burning flames like the sea. The flame in the center of the incendiary bomb soared to the height of four or five stories. The fish-scale armored monsters rushed forward one after another as if committing suicide. The gasoline incendiary bomb, which was said to be inextinguishable, burned for less than five minutes before being extinguished by countless fish-scale armored monsters. It was purely crushed by their bodies.
It is true that ants can kill elephants. Social monsters are so scary.
Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie looked at each other and said, "Sister Rong, let me throw a few more flares to other places to see if all the monsters have gathered here."
"Okay." Rong Xianxian carried Cui Lie to the next area, "bang" it was densely packed here, "bang" it was still densely packed here, "bang bang bang" Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie dropped more than a dozen flares in a row, and there were densely packed monsters everywhere, covering the mountains and plains, and stretching as far as the eye could see.
Rong Xianxian sighed helplessly and flew back to her original position!
"Sister Rong, look, the density of monsters in this area has obviously decreased." Cui Lie said, pointing to the original area.
Although it was already late at night, they dropped more than a dozen flares nearby, so the situation here could be vaguely seen.
"It has decreased, but those monsters may come back at any time. Their marching speed is too fast." Rong Xianxian said unhappily.
"If we throw a few more petrol bombs to disperse the monsters' forces, we still have a chance to clear the area you just mentioned." Cui Lie said to Rong Xianxian.
"How to clear it?" Rong Xianxian asked him.
"Throw the explosives first, tie them together and throw them, and then use the fuel-air bomb." Cui Lie's eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement.
The flames burning in all directions illuminated the sky. After some attempts, Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie had a deeper understanding of the monsters' habits and attack methods.
Cui Lie's understanding of thermal weapons is naturally not comparable to Rong Xianxian's. The violent explosion caused by a large amount of explosives was deafening. Soon, a space without monsters was cleared at the location designated by Rong Xianxian before. Cui Lie fired two fuel-air bombs to both sides. After Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie landed in that area, Rong Xianxian quickly mined ore, while Cui Lie carried a single-shoulder rocket launcher and fired rockets around from time to time.
They landed too hastily and the temperature of the ore surface was very high. The ore dug out by Rong Xianxian needed to be touched by hand before it could be transferred to the foggy space. Rong Xianxian, who had been scalded several times, had a flash of inspiration and used a large bucket of water in the foggy space to fetch a bucket of water from a small river in the foggy space and poured it on the area she was going to mine, thinking of cooling down the ore. Unexpectedly, after pouring this bucket of water, the ore that was originally difficult to mine actually became much softer, and Rong Xianxian's mining speed increased greatly.
"Sister Rong, Vajra Talisman." Cui Lie shouted.
Rong Xianxian turned around and saw that there were several monsters hanging on Cui Lie. "Snap, snap, snap, snap" the thousand threads accurately pierced through the hard head of the fish-scale armored monster and stuck the prepared Vajra Talisman on Cui Lie.
"If you can't hold on any longer, retreat. Don't hold on." Rong Xianxian waved her hand and a tank appeared in front of them.
The incendiary bombs and flares that had previously attracted fire from the surroundings had not yet been completely extinguished, and the army of fish-scale armored monsters had already pressed densely in the direction where they were.
"Sister Rong, these monsters no longer seem to pay attention to the incendiary bombs and flares." Cui Lie clearly felt that the number of monsters gathering around him had increased exponentially, and the attacks he faced had increased a lot.
Mining the ore seemed to be a death sentence for them, and all the fish-scale monsters came in waves.
"Don't hold on. Go into the cab first. I'll be there soon. Quick." The Vajra Talisman on Rong Xianxian's body kept making cracking sounds. The fish-scale armored monster had broken through Cui Lie's defense circle and attacked. She had already been attacked by the monster, and the situation on Cui Lie's side must be even more serious.
Cui Lie's body was now covered with monsters in fish-scale armor. The Vajra Talisman that Rong Xianxian had just pasted on him had all exploded. He felt as if a heavy burden of a thousand pounds was pressing on him. The monsters were about to drown him. He struggled to find the tank door, opened it, and dragged his heavy body in.
Seeing that Cui Lie had already entered the tank, Rong Xianxian no longer wanted to fight. She bent down and entered the tank through the escape door under the vehicle. Before entering the tank, she gently threw out the smoke ball in her hand.
The smoke ball was obtained from the hands of an enemy in the previous life when she had just set out on the journey north. Rong Xianxian added a strong poison that she extracted from the body of a high-level monster. This poison can cause bleeding in living organisms and death. She only tested it once and then sealed it up. It is extremely toxic and there is no cure.
The smoke from the smoke ball carried poison and enveloped the area near the tank.
Cui Lie and Rong Xianxian were squeezed in the tank's cab. The fish-scale armored monsters that had hung on Cui Lie had been killed by Cui Lie. When Rong Xianxian collected these monsters into the foggy space, she unexpectedly discovered that she had also collected some monsters when she collected ores before.
These monster shells are fire-resistant, high-temperature-resistant, and have strong defensive capabilities, making them absolutely the best material for making armor and protective clothing.
Based on the monster habits she observed, the monster group would calm down as long as their ore was not touched.
Rong Xianxian checked Cui Lie and found that his protective suit was broken. Even the leather armor inside showed signs of corrosion from the venom sprayed by the monster. He had multiple bites on his body. Rong Xianxian applied the prepared medicine to Cui Lie, and the two hid inside the tank and quietly recovered their strength.
