Chapter 324 Chapter 324
As soon as he arrived here, Han Qi felt something was wrong. The air, which was already a little uncomfortable, became sticky, and it seemed that every breath became difficult. He looked around, but could hardly see anything under the dark sky, so he had to close his eyes and sense everything around him.
"Captain, where is this place?" Huang Tianzhen asked puzzledly.
Before Qingtong could explain, Hanqi said hurriedly: "Not good, get out of here!"
"What's wrong?" Su Sanan asked with confusion in his voice.
Qu Zhong did not dare to hesitate and immediately said, "Let's go!"
But it was too late.
Crazy music sounded, sharp and mournful like the wailing of a demon. The unmusical notes drilled into the ears, like a needle penetrating into the brain, piercing and stirring constantly.
Huang Tianzhen and others couldn't bear it anymore. They covered their ears with all their strength, but the crazy music could still enter their minds through their fingers.
"Ah——" Han Qi was the first to scream out in pain.
Bang!
There was a sound of metal hitting something, and the mournful music stopped. Everyone came back to their senses and tightened their weapons.
However, it was still pitch black all around and I couldn't see anything clearly.
"Qu Zhongyi, illuminate the sky." Qingtong said.
Qu Zhongyi snapped his fingers, and countless small points of light floated around him, illuminating the surrounding environment.
Huang Tianzhen and the others found themselves in a square. There should have been a fountain in the center of the square, and a sculpture in the middle of the fountain. But now the fountain had dried up, and the sculpture was broken into two halves from the waist. A skinny human figure that looked like a woman stood strangely at the broken part of the statue, carrying a violin on her shoulder, looking down at them.
The music just now came from this violin.
It should be... a violin. It has a similar structure to a violin, but the entire thing is made of bones. The headstock is a palm bone clenched into a fist. This structure really makes people doubt whether it can make the correct sound.
No, that shrill tone just now cannot be called correct pronunciation at all.
"whee."
The woman had strangely long hair that covered her face in a mess, like Zhenzi in a movie. She hunched over, and her bony fingers tightly grasped the bow, as if she was going to continue the performance.
"Stop it!" Qingtong ordered, swinging the long sword in his hand and attacking.
There was no time to think about anything else. Everyone immediately followed Qingtong's orders, surrounded the strange creature, and each used their own strength to attack the strange creature.
The one who attacked the fastest was Huang Tianzhen. His ability to protect creatures allowed the flying knife to pierce the strange, dry arm as quickly as possible.
Then there was a ding sound, and the flying knife was bounced away by the strange arm.
Huang Tianzhen was startled. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. His flying knife was unable to harm the strange body. This meant that...
"Captain, it's A-level!!" Huang Tianzhen said in panic, "It's too early for us, let's retreat!"
As soon as they heard that it was an A-level monster, Yu Huan and his men's fighting spirit immediately withered. Huang Tianzhen and his men had a lot of experience fighting against B-level monsters, but they had never fought against A-level monsters. Qu Zhongyi's team was even more so. They had dealt with B-level monsters before, but they were led by other stronger teams to deal with them. They had no experience dealing with B-level monsters independently. To be honest, it was a bit difficult for them to challenge a higher level monster now.
"Calm down, don't be nervous." Qingtong's voice was very calm, without a trace of panic, "Listen to me carefully."
This was the last lesson he gave them as the captain of Qingtong.
"We've been discovered. With limited space to maneuver, we can't escape. This is the reality." Qingtong's long sword turned into a pair of swords, tightly grasping them in his hands. "The first thing we have to do when fighting is to determine the type of opponent."
His head tilted strangely, his black hair slightly spread out, revealing the face underneath.
"Hee." It was still laughing.
The next second, it disappeared from its original place and appeared directly in front of Qingtong, swinging its bow and smashing down.
The bow is also made of bones, and the back of the bow is sharpened. Once the direction is changed, it turns from a bow into a long and thin machete.
Qingtong hurriedly used his two swords to block. The strange force caused some pressure on Qingtong, and he took two steps back. "Then, summarize the opponent's attack mode and crack them one by one."
Qieyi was still staring at Qingtong. In its perception, the existence in front of it posed the greatest threat to it and needed to be dealt with first.
Therefore, for the next attack, it also chose Qingtong as its target.
"Finally, look for the enemy's weaknesses and analyze tactics based on the abilities of the existing team members."
The enemy's attack was mixed with sharp sound waves, but Qingtong didn't even frown and continued to face the enemy. However, it was obvious that he was having a hard time dealing with it, and he was retreating with every attack.
"Tell me the answer, how to deal with this monster in front of us?" Qingtong asked loudly.
Huang Tianzhen and his men came back to their senses from the quick attack and defense battle between the strange monster and Qingtong. Su Sanan said quickly, "It's a non-psychic strange monster that can attack the opponent directly with weapons. It doesn't have skills like elementalization or virtualization. It's a normal type."
"Very good, and then?"
The sound of metal ice blades and bones colliding became the background music of the conversation.
"Sonic attacks are suspected to be able to injure the ears and brain. Without the addition of sonic waves, it would just be an ordinary fighting style battle. But the opponent's speed and strength are both above ours!" Huang Tianzhen said, "The chances of winning a head-on battle are less than 10%!"
"How to meet the enemy?"
"The captain and I will be the vanguard, Huang Tianzhen and Su Sanan will assist, and Hanqi and Yu Huan will look for opportunities at the end." Qu Zhongyi glanced at the weirdos. Many A-level weirdos could understand human language, so he didn't dare to say it too clearly. He just said according to the code used in daily training, "Formation A, Plan 9408. The winning rate is not high, and the main method is to delay."
Qingtong kicked away the strange creature that attacked him and took a deep breath: "Very good, I passed."
It just means passing.
"Let's do this, then."
With clear orders and the tacit understanding they had developed from training together at the training base, they immediately formed their battle formations and prepared to fight again.
Qingtong and Qu Zhongyi stood in the front. Qingtong's weapon turned into a long sword. When Hanqi passed by them and retreated to the back, he wiped Qingtong and Qu Zhongyi's weapons with his hand.
A layer of poison immediately covered the gleaming cold weapon.
"Hee." The weird guy laughed out loud, his long hair slightly parted to reveal his scarlet eyes, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes as he looked at the few people.
As if mocking their arrogance.
Overestimating one's capabilities? Perhaps.
In terms of fighting power alone, none of them could match the A-rank monster in front of them. The same was true for Qingtong.
Because this Qingtong is just a puppet created by Bai Yixin, and his data is exactly the same as the real Qingtong. His strength is at most just approaching A-level, and has not yet reached this level.
The harsh music sounded again.
"Concentrate and focus on the enemy in front of you! Forget everything else!" Qingtong's loud shout overwhelmed the shrill voice and reached everyone's ears.
If you can't plug your ears, then concentrate enough to forget everything.
When the brain is working in an emergency state, it can filter out all unimportant things, whether it is sound or pain. This state can be called "selflessness". Of course, it is more difficult for humans to enter this state, but everything is difficult at the beginning. If you can master this ability, it will be easier to deal with similar strange things in the future.
To be honest, Qingtong was the only one who could really do this. The others were more or less affected, their movements became slower and their reactions were sluggish.
The strange creature in front was very smart. During the attack, it found that Qingtong seemed to be the leader of the group, and seemed to care more about this group of disappointing younger brothers. So its attack range was dispersed. Instead of focusing on Qingtong, it began to shift its target to other people.
The first one is Qu Zhongyi, who is closest to us.
The music paused for half a second, then moved strangely and rapidly towards Qu Zhongyi, with the sharp bone blade slashing across. Fortunately, Qingtong stepped in front of him in time, and Qu Zhongyi saved his life.
The price was that Qingtong's arm was cut with a long wound, and blood slowly flowed out.
"Captain!" Seeing Qingtong injured, Qu Zhongyi panicked. He endured the dizziness and chased forward with his spear in hand.
Weird immediately dodged his attack. The poison on the blade was a bit of a problem. Although it wouldn't kill anyone who came into contact with it, it would slow down its movements, and the more poison accumulated, the more likely it would be affected.
After dodging, he counterattacked with the bone blade, cutting Qu Zhongyi's neck horizontally, but the next second, the cut Qu Zhongyi disappeared into thin air.
"Hmm?" Weird made a rare sound that wasn't a sneering sound.
Then, a long spear pierced his back fiercely, only scratching the skin.
Qiyi turned his head slowly and saw Qu Zhongyi who had appeared behind him out of nowhere.
"It's...interesting." He laughed weirdly.
Qu Zhongyi looked at the strange creature in astonishment. He understood what he said. So this strange creature came from their world and arrived in a different world along with the overlapping of space?
Taking advantage of the half second of relaxation that Guaiyi had, Su Sanan's water arrows combined with Yu Huan's poison, with the assistance of Han Qi, pierced Guaiyi's body from all blind spots.
Water is very soft, not as sharp as metal and bone, and naturally cannot break the strange defense, but its nature as a liquid is that it can cover every part of the strange body.
Just when Qieyi was wondering why his body was wet, a few tiny cold lights flashed along with lightning and fell on Qieyi.
Everyone immediately distanced themselves from it, watching from afar the strange creature trembling with fear after being struck by lightning.
Strange thing - lightning rod.
Huang Tianzhen waved his hand, and the lightning rod that had already landed on Guaiyi returned to his palm.
He spent a lot of effort to exchange this thing from the department, but unfortunately there are only three of them. It is said that they were traded from the Lighting Organization. They have a limited number of uses and will be discarded after use.
If he wasn't facing some intractable weirdness, he wouldn't want to use this thing. Every time he used it, he was burning money.
Seeing that Guaiyi was trembling and emitting some black smoke, it looked like it had lost half its life. Huang Tianzhen smiled complacently. This A-level monster was weaker than he had imagined. They were not without a chance of winning.
Maybe we can even take this opportunity to apply to become an A-rank team.
Seeing that the strange creature hadn't moved yet, Huang Tianzhen was thinking about whether to give it a few more slashes. Just as he was about to get closer, Han Qi's voice came to his mind: "Retreat, this guy is basically not injured, it's pretending!"
