Chapter 583 585 New Martial Level
In the end, Rong Xianxian called He Wen, Jiang Jie, Pan Yang, Huo Ye, Chen Lishu and others together, emphasizing that in the future, if the strength of the two sides in a fight is unequal, it will be regarded as a fight. Anyone who deliberately provokes trouble and causes disputes between team members will be dealt with seriously.
Some time ago, the team had been using the new weapons that had been exchanged for combat. The new weapons were very useful, but they were too expensive. Moreover, they did not help in improving the combat effectiveness of the team members. Instead, they were easy to form dependence. The use of hot weapons in the early stage was mainly to make everyone familiar with the use of new weapons in case of emergency.
After the team members became proficient in the use of weapons, they began to use cold weapons in combat.
In fact, the weapons developed by the New Martial Arts Academy in the Capital Security Zone are divided into clear levels based on lethality and protective capabilities. For example, the energy shield that Rong Xianxian had previously used that can emit blue rays is a level five protective weapon that can withstand attacks from level five monsters. These have been verified in practice.
The electromagnetic Gauss sniper rifle they purchased is a level 4 defense-breaking weapon that can destroy the defense of level 4 monsters. The flying backpack is defined as a first-generation individual flying tool with a short flight time and slow flight speed. The flying skateboard is defined as a second-generation individual flying tool with a longer flight time and greatly increased flight speed.
Of course, this level division is only a reference in most cases. After all, even if they are all level four monsters, different species have very different combat effectiveness, agility and defense capabilities.
In addition to the new weapons launched by the new martial arts academy, Rong Xianxian also had previously exchanged for shoulder-fired rocket launchers, howitzers and other hot weapons in the Binyang Security Zone and Xiangshan Town. According to their lethality, they can cause damage to level three monsters.
After a period of exploration, Rong Xianxian discovered that rocket launchers, howitzers and various special bombs are actually much more cost-effective than many new weapons. The special spike bullets and depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets used in Gauss weapons that can break through the defense of level 4 monsters are expensive. Although they can cause damage to level 4 monsters, many level 4 monsters are huge in size. Unless you hit the monster's heart or head, it is often not a fatal blow. They are only suitable for use when escaping. If used for hunting to obtain materials, you can't earn back the money for the bullets at all.
On the contrary, the use of flying backpacks and flying skateboards in conjunction with howitzers and various special bombs can make hunting monsters more efficient and less costly.
In addition to hot weapons, the New Martial Arts Academy also launched a heavy sniper crossbow, which uses special arrows developed with new materials. It is also rated as a level four defense-penetrating weapon, with a larger defense-penetrating area and greater lethality. However, it is large in size and not very accurate, and requires a relatively high level of control from the user. The advantage is that the cost of consumables is relatively cheap.
Although the New Martial Arts Academy currently only rates new weapons, judging from future developments, all official hot weapons, cold weapons, and protective armor will probably be rated. The quality of weapons that have been rated will be more guaranteed and their prices should be higher.
In fact, as far as cold weapons are concerned, every sword, spear, sword and halberd refined by Ming Tianlei is a fine product, with good sharpness and durability. However, only high-grade materials can be used to refine fine weapons, and high-grade materials are time-consuming and labor-intensive to process. Ming Tianlei's energy is limited after all. The members of the Tianhe Mercenary Group and the Lieyan Mercenary Group together exceed a thousand people, and the expenditure on weapons in the future will probably be inevitable.
Fortunately, under the instruction of Rong Xianxian, Ming Tianlei brought out a group of apprentices. Even if they lack talent, they can process materials according to the fixed process and refine some ordinary weapons according to the rules. These weapons can be used to deal with monsters below level two, and are very popular among small and medium-sized civilian mercenary groups that make a living by hunting low-level monsters.
Rong Xianxian agreed to take Pan Yang to hunt monsters. After dinner, she took Pan Yang away from the camp.
In the afternoon, their team encountered a level 3 elite armored monster that was about to be upgraded. This armored monster was as big as an iron tower and had the innate skill of spraying flames. Although it was repelled during the day, the monster's nest should be not far from the battle area. Rong Xianxian drove a flying carpet to take Pan Yang for a circle within a hundred miles and soon found the armored monster's nest.
Rong Xianxian had encountered an armored monster when she had just left Chongzhou and headed north at the beginning of the apocalypse. At that time, her strength was low, and a second-level mature armored monster made her flee in panic. Now that she encountered a third-level monster, there was no need for her to take action.
Before the two of them reached the nest, they were discovered by the armored monster. The monster's heavy body stomped on the ground, making a "dong, dong" sound.
The armored monster let out a roar that resounded through the night sky in the direction the two people were coming from. A moment after the roar, the already quiet night seemed even quieter.
Taking advantage of the dim night, Pan Yang jumped off the flying carpet, drew out two swords from his back, activated the flying skateboard and flew towards the armored monster's head.
The sharp long knife made a clanging sound as it hit the armored monster, and the collision of metals produced clusters of crackling sparks. Ordinary armored monsters were covered with steel-like scales, so although their defense value was high, their agility was relatively weak. However, this was only a third-level elite armored monster. In addition to being able to spit flames, the elite armored monster had a thick and flexible tail compared to ordinary armored monsters. The tail was longer than its body, and when it was swung towards Pan Yang, there was a sound of wind breaking through the air. The flexible tail made up for the lack of agility, and the iron tail brushed past Pan Yang's face several times.
Rong Xianxian sat on the flying carpet and watched the battle, watching Pan Yang and the armored monster fighting each other.
Pan Yang rode on his flying skateboard as if he had wings, wandering around the armored monster, looking for an opportunity to poke the monster's eyes, which was the only place on the armored monster's body with weak defenses.
At first, the armored monster swung its flexible tail to stop Pan Yang from approaching, just like it was driving away flies and mosquitoes. After being slashed in the eyes by Pan Yang several times, it finally got angry, locked onto the place where Pan Yang was standing and spewed flames. The scales on its body turned red, and at first glance, it looked like flowing flames.
The flames sprayed by the armored monster ignited the surrounding grass, illuminating the surroundings. Pan Yang climbed rapidly on his flying skateboard and flew past the flames narrowly. The situation behind him was dangerous. The enraged armored monster became more agile. Pan Yang was accidentally swept by the armored monster's iron tail, and a piece of the protective armor he was wearing collapsed instantly.
The man and the monster attacked faster and faster. At this time, Pan Yang was running low on spiritual energy and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
