Chapter 96 It seems to be directed at her
"Here we come! Get ready for battle!"
Lilith immediately adjusted her posture, holding her weapon tightly to her chest, and looked vigilantly into the thick fog, even though she didn't hear any strange noises.
But the next second, heavy footsteps and an indescribable sense of oppression came, and her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
“Swish!”
The whistling sound of the wind passed by her ears, and Lilith's eyes flashed before a white shadow suddenly rushed out.
“Ouch!”
The sound was not human, but rather like the whimpering and roaring of a wild beast. Lilith looked closely and saw clearly the enemy in front of her.
Just one glance, and she could no longer control her nausea. Her pupils contracted sharply, and her hand holding the weapon trembled slightly.
What words can be used to describe it? It was a monster, absolutely a monster, like a human body made of different animal corpses.
Snake-like scales sprouted from the original torso, while the limbs were covered with rough animal skins. Furthermore, a childish face was placed on the head.
This is definitely not a naturally occurring creature. It looks like some kind of failed experiment. Was it something created by the Federation?
Lilith suppressed the turmoil in her heart and waited for the captain's instructions. However, Lanqi behind her looked unacceptable and screamed angrily.
"Bernie!"
"No, I remember he was dead. I killed him with my own hands! How could it be?"
The monster named "Bernie" had a circle of olive leaf marks on his chest, which was mostly covered with fur.
Badge? He was from the Far March Army? But how did it become like this?
The contaminated area not only pollutes the mind, but also forcibly transforms the body?
Lilith felt a chill in her heart and stood still. In just a few seconds, Bernie had locked onto the person who made the shout and ran towards him like a wild animal with his hands on the ground.
The members of the first team are all A-level or S-level sentinels. They are stronger than ordinary people. The battles in the contaminated area have significantly improved their abilities.
It is no exaggeration to say that they are the most powerful weapon of the empire.
So if this out-of-control monster in front of him is really a former member of the first team, then his attack power is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
And now, Bernie is rushing towards Lilith's back.
“No way…”
If there was a system panel, Lilith would like to see if her luck value is all negative. It was her first mission and she encountered such a difficult opponent.
“Get out of the way!”
The sentry's speed was too fast, but her companion just stood there like a fool, motionless.
Lilith barely dodged the first attack and pulled the wooden man behind her.
While dodging, Robbins finally approached with the others.
Everyone was linked together by a safety chain, and their faces all had solemn expressions.
"Captain, it's Bernie, he..."
"I know, I saw it clearly. You lost your composure just now because you saw him, right? You should have warned us first!"
Robin paused.
"He's no longer a member of our team. You shouldn't just stand there like an idiot in front of the enemy."
"But……"
"Wake up, Bernie is dead. The contaminated area turned him into a monster. Do you want to become like that?"
Lanqi was silent, like a silent resistance.
"But, this has never happened before. We've clearly killed Bernie. Even if his spirit isn't dead, he shouldn't be alive."
"The contaminated area has changed again! Damn it! There's been an increase in pollution lately, and it's impossible to clean it up. Those corrupt officials in the empire only know how to put pressure on Your Highness! If they had the guts, they could come and see for themselves!"
Look at this purgatory-like scene. After seeing it with your own eyes, can you still feel at ease letting the sentries go to their deaths one by one!
But the enemy didn't know their tangled mood, and the irrational monster tried to attack again.
Birds, brown bears, whale sharks...all kinds of spirits that Lilith had never seen before appeared at this moment, and attacked the enemy together with their masters.
Lilith had seen Si Jue training and had also experienced the battles at the exchange meeting. In comparison, what she had experienced was simply playing house.
The real battle was far more bloody and violent than she had imagined, and it made her heart clench with anxiety.
"ah!"
Lanqi was in a trance for only a moment, and his spirit body was bitten hard by the monster.
"Be careful! If you get distracted again, I don't mind taking care of you right now!"
Robbins said this indifferently, but his eyes were somewhat dark. Bernie was his teammate. He and his teammates killed Bernie when he lost control, but they never thought that he would become like this.
The out-of-control monster could not feel pain, and the attacks of so many spirits and cold weapons could not make it retreat even a step.
On the contrary, once their spiritual bodies are injured, the damage will be reflected on their bodies.
It was a really unfair fight, but no one cared at the moment.
Those at the edge of the safety chain were all veterans with strong combat capabilities. Lilith was in the middle, vaguely protected. Lanqi recalled his spirit body and stood upright at her feet.
The battle was fierce, but not dangerous, although the enemy was once a companion, which made it painful for Robbins and others to attack.
But no one hesitated.
The monster's death is only a matter of time, but what happens after that?
Lilith had a vague premonition. Her heart was beating fast, and her spirit seemed to be eager to emerge.
She sensed a very subtle call.
Speaking of which, was Bernie really attacking Lanqi just now? She and Lanqi were so close, if the other party wanted to kill her, it was very likely.
There was no way to stop thinking. Lilith had to eliminate all possible dangerous factors around her.
Bernie came for her. Once this thought came to Lilith, she couldn't ignore it. She came to the contaminated area and encountered strange things.
As if it was destined, she would be dragged into the vortex of danger no matter what.
She looked at the scene in front of her, her mind moved slightly. She was temporarily unable to increase the strength of these sentinels because her spiritual power was not enough. But what if she could purify them?
The sentinel of death cannot speak, she can use her spirit to remove the pollution.
Elderberry is closely related to the soul. Doesn’t Bernie in front of him look like a walking corpse without a soul?
She always had to give it a try. If her guess was true, then maybe she could really find another way for the guide.
The battle gradually subsided, and the first team fell silent. No one felt good about killing their comrades again.
The girl wearing a helmet slowly walked over to the rotting monster's corpse and squatted down.
"Captain, let me try to purify it."
