Chapter 211 Cang Ling's Sword Discussion (Twenty-Six)

() In the underground cave, the battle turned into a tug-of-war.

The fire ape's swimming skills are really powerful. It moves up and down, as if walking on flat ground, and leaps and bounds without any obvious pattern. It can be said that the changes are rapid and elusive. The entire cave space is its three-dimensional battlefield, but there is not much terrain that players can use.

If Xiao Tan and Bei Ling hadn't both had firearms in their hands, they might have been injured by the fire ape at close range.

"It's not good to go on like this. A lot of bullets have been used up, but they haven't caused much real damage to the monster." Sad Ling said to Xiao Tan beside him: "Maybe our bullets haven't killed it yet. It was consumed first.”

Xiao Tan was now standing at arm's length with her, guarding against the fire ape that might suddenly attack from any direction and angle. Hearing this, he replied: "I have an idea."

"Say." Sad Ling responded.

"I'll drink a bottle of supplement first to get my blood back to full." Xiaotan said, "Then I'll put the gun away and compete with it in close combat."

Sadling turned around and glanced at him: "You don't need to fight to know that it has defeated you, right?"

( "It's okay, I've already seen it." Xiao Tan continued: "This guy's strongest point is speed, and his attack ability is very average. Although it is troublesome to have his whole body on fire, but thinking about it on the other hand... this does not mean that Its defense is very strong, which only means that when you attack it with melee attacks, you may have to bear a certain amount of damage." Xiaotan said, he actually put away the shotgun in his hand and took out his main weapon. Melee weapon——[Damascus Dagger].

"If you give up using guns and focus on close combat... I should be able to keep up with its speed." Xiao Tan continued: "As long as I can touch it, I can use [Bee Sting] to consume its blood."

"If you want to fight like this, I can't cooperate with you." Beiling said: "With my shooting ability, against such a high-speed moving target, the chance of hitting is less than 30%. Not to mention when it is fighting with you. If I shoot under certain circumstances, I have to avoid you but also hit..."

"No, I can deal with it alone." Xiao Tan interrupted: "If I feel that I am in danger of being killed, or if I really can't fight, I will escape back here. Then you can cover me and let me have some chance." Just time to breathe and recover.”

"Well, be careful..." Sad Ling really couldn't think of a better idea than this, so Xiao Tan had to try it. Bei Ling's own fighting expertise is only E-level. When facing this kind of super-agile mini-BOSS, unless there is a teammate with control skills to support her, she can only do the job of providing fixed-point cover. .

"Yeah, I understand." When Xiao Tan replied, he had already used a bottle of survival point supplement. Almost at the same time, the fire ape barked again, suddenly appeared from behind a rock, and attacked again. This raid happened to be close to Xiaotan's side, giving him an opportunity to enter the battle.

Xiaotan did not catch the monkey's fire claws forcefully, but stepped sideways, narrowly avoiding the blow. When he passed by the fire ape, he thrust the dagger in his hand forward and successfully rubbed it against the monster's fur. The bleeding special effect of his title skill [Bee Sting] was also successfully added, and it started to take effect from this second.

In fact... Xiao Tan's words "I should be able to keep up with its speed" are just being modest. After this trial and observation, he was 90% sure that he could keep up with this speed, so he expressed his idea of ​​solving the battle alone.

Xiao Tan deliberately showed weakness when speaking to Sad Ling. In fact... firstly, he wanted to take care of the other person's self-esteem, considering Sadling's strong character; secondly, he also quite liked the feeling of being worried about.

"Ouch -" The fire ape seemed to become very angry after being injured by the skill. He immediately roared, turned around and pounced on Xiao Tan again.

This monster is worthy of being agile. It is extremely short-lived after being attacked, and the second attack arrives instantly. It turned its head, took a step forward, punched out with both fists, and made another dangerous move. Not to mention... Fire Ape's move is vaguely like a martial arts master's, the momentum is quite powerful, and the fiery wind created by those fists is not inferior to the palm wind of a martial arts master.

Faced with this surprise attack, Xiao Tan did not panic. He remained on the defensive, moved back a few steps, and easily defused the attack.

Xiaotan's temperament has never been in a hurry. Unless he is frightened by something that he is afraid of, under normal circumstances, he is a very calm person and has excellent patience. Without the right opportunity, he would rather not take action. And if he takes action, it means that the opponent has exposed his flaws.

Although the fire ape is fierce and evil, after all, it is just a monster with limited intelligence. After it was injured by Xiao Tan, it missed in consecutive attacks and suddenly became impatient. With a beastly spirit, it quickly rushed up and waved its fire claws wildly.

Xiaotan saw it rushing towards him, but instead of retreating, he advanced. He had already seen that when the fire ape raised its claws, a flaw would be exposed in its abdomen, so he bowed his body diagonally, slashed away with his dagger, and fought with the fire ape. When the ape passed by, it not only cut it, but also added a second layer of [bee sting] effect to it.

In these two rounds of confrontation, Xiao Tan used only 14% of his physical energy by using the two skills. Fortunately, the loss in survival value was minimal. It was just that when he was close to the fire ape, he would lose energy every two seconds. Lose 1% of blood, and as long as you move away from it by about one meter, the damage will no longer exist.

Although the Fire Ape didn't take much damage, the bleeding effect was already stacked twice. As an agile BOSS, its HP was not high to begin with. It was hit by bullets several times during the previous fight and lost some HP. Now it was also bleed for two minutes, and it seemed to be in a losing situation.

What Xiao Tan had to do was to remain patient and lure the Fire Ape to continue to attack without being hit by fatal attacks, so that the monster would bleed faster.

But at this time, the Fire Ape suddenly gave up Xiao Tan, turned around abruptly, and rushed towards Bei Ling.

The monster also saw that Xiao Tan's speed was not bad, and it would be futile to chase him. He was afraid that if he was exhausted, the other party would be fine, so he decided to fight to the death, even if one of them died.

Bei Ling saw that the Fire Ape was rushing towards her with all her strength, and she was ready to fight for her life. Naturally, she would not sit there and wait for death. She turned around and flashed into the angle between two huge rocks, and quickly retreated to the wall, so that the Fire Ape had only one direction to attack her.

When the monster rushed from the only angle, the bullets in the MP5 in Bei Ling's hand immediately poured out. Taking advantage of the terrain, almost 60% to 70% of the bullets hit the target.

When the round of bullets in Bei Ling's gun was used up, there were more than a dozen bullet holes on the fire ape's body, and the wounds were bleeding, but this did not stop its actions. Since it was desperate, it would not stop because of such an attack.

The fire ape let out a final scream, and its ruby-like face lit up red. It turned around, and the long tail behind it whistled out like a fire whip. The ruby ​​on the tip of its tail was like a hematite shell, attacking Bei Ling's chest.

The position where Bei Ling stood could indeed limit the angle of the opponent's attack, but it also made her lose the space for detours. She didn't expect that this monster would withstand the submachine gun's sweeping and fight to the death. If she had known this, she should have replaced the sniper. Although this was at a short to medium distance, if the sniper bullet hit, even if the monster didn't die, it would be missing some limbs.

Seeing that the tail was about to hit her, Bei Ling could only bite the bullet and block it. She silently prayed in her heart that her survival value could withstand the heavy blow of the shell.

With a shout, a hot wind brushed Bei Ling's cheek.

The fire ape's attack was actually off... Bei Ling stared at her big watery eyes, looking at the unbelievable scene in front of her in surprise.

But a little cold light came out from the monkey's throat.

At this time, if you look from behind the fire ape, you can see a figure dressed as an assassin, standing close to the burning body. A stable and precise hand, under the scorching flames, still stabbed a dagger into the monster's cervical vertebrae with force, and penetrated it with all its strength.

With a plop, the fire ape fell forward, and Bei Ling saw Xiao Tan behind the monster.

It turned out that when the monster swung its tail to attack, Xiao Tan had already killed it an inch behind it. He didn't care about the damage caused by staying close to the fire ape's body. At this moment, he was just like a cold-blooded butcher. Perhaps his medical knowledge flashed, or perhaps some kind of innate killing talent awakened at this moment. Xiao Tan's eyes, at that moment, accurately and quickly captured the only and most fatal attack point on the fire ape.

The cervical vertebra was pierced, causing the long tail of the fire ape to deviate. With inertia, it just tilted away before hitting the sad spirit.

"Wow... Wow... It's so hot..." As soon as the monster fell, Xiao Tan returned to his usual dazed look. His movements seemed to be burned by eating baked sweet potatoes. He tossed the dagger in his hand between his two hands. Because the dagger conducts heat, he couldn't hold it at this moment.

Beiling walked forward, looked down at the monster's body, then raised his head and pointed the muzzle of his MP5 at Xiaotan (because Beiling connected the flashlight to the gun), shining it on his face and said, "I didn't realize that you were still quite reliable at the critical moment."

"No, no... It's luck, good luck..." Xiaotan was polite, but his face couldn't hide the truth at all. He smiled so brightly and touched the back of his head with one hand, just shy of saying "I don't have any" shyly.

As the two people were talking, the body of the fire ape on the ground quickly burned to ashes, and only the red crystal at the end of its tail was still lying on the ground.

"This is one of the two stone slabs." Xiaotan said, and bent down to pick up the crystal.

Because the monsters in Horror Paradise will not drop any equipment, even Xiaotan knows that this thing is probably a mission item.

When it was first touched, the crystal was still quite hot, and Xiao Tan almost lost his grip again. However, after it touched the player's hand, the originally diamond-shaped red crystal quickly turned into white light and changed its shape. When the white light dissipated, the red crystal became a magatama, just like half of the Bagua.

[Name: Slate (Yang)]

[Type: Plot-related]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Function: When embedded in the Bagua stone plate on the stone door together with the slate (Yīn), the stone door can be opened]

[Can it be brought out of the script: No]

[Note: As a key, the shape and principle of this thing are very confusing]

After getting the Yang Slate, Xiaotan and Beiling explored the cave again to see if they had missed anything, so as not to go back later. As a result, they really gained something. In the gap between a piece of clockstone, Bei Ling found a consumable item.

[Name: Rock crystals]

[Type: Consumables]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Function: After use, restore 50% of the player's survival value, and increase the survival value recovery speed within a certain period of time]

[Whether the script can be brought out: Yes]

[Note: The recovery effect is not affected by the decrease of survival value supplement]

This item should be a compensatory measure for players, just like the recovery items dropped after thousands of BOSS defeats in some games. Obviously, the system also believes that killing this fire ape requires paying a certain price, either in terms of blood consumption or other resources. In short, it is unlikely to be solved easily.

However, for the two "rich people" present, there is never a shortage of such recovery consumables. It's good to find them, but it doesn't matter if you can't find them. If they feel it is necessary, they can buy dozens or even hundreds of bottles of survival value supplements to take with them without worrying. If their luggage is not enough, they can just buy more luggage.

Bei Ling handed this [Rock Crystal] directly to Xiao Tan. After all, he did more to deal with the fire ape. Not only did he drink supplements, but he also burned a lot of blood for the hero to save the beauty.

Xiao Tan did not refuse, and walked around the cave for a while, then went back along the intersection where he came from. A few minutes later, he passed the intersection again and walked to the road on the right side of the intersection.

This path was not long, and it seemed to be symmetrical to the length of the tunnel opposite. Five or six minutes later, another cave appeared in front of them. This cave is not very big, and is oval in shape overall. The rocks on the four walls reflect a blue halo under the light. The center of the cave is almost occupied by a pool, and there is only a circle of standing area around the edges of the cave.

When the two of them stood by the pool, they could feel a chill coming to their faces, which showed that the temperature of the pool must be extremely low. They scanned the cave with a light, but found nothing of value. It seemed that the dark stone slab must be at the bottom of the water... Xiaotan squatted down and explored the water surface with his fingers, but was suddenly shrunk by the cold. He came back: "Wow... I guess this is the legendary zero-freezing state..."

"I'll go." Beiling said as she tied the flashlight to her clothes. Her special forces suit has many functions. There are buckle-like settings on the shoulders and outer thighs, which can fix various small items. pieces of objects.

"Hey...it's really cold." Xiaotan reminded.

"It's okay." She put some water on her face and neck with her hands. Although her expression did not change, what she was thinking was: I'm freezing to death... "You can't shoot underwater. If there is danger, swim back immediately." ." Xiao Tan said with a concerned tone.

"I know..." Sad Ling replied impatiently.

"How about this? If you haven't come up for air for three minutes..." Xiao Tan was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Stop being so nagging!" Sadling turned around and glared at him, then took a deep breath, took a few steps, and jumped into the water.

The cold pool water enveloped the sad spirit from head to toe. She endured the pain and reluctantly opened her eyes, but her eyes were still almost turbid, and the light of the flashlight could only allow her to see a very limited distance. But she still gritted her teeth and swam hard toward the bottom of the pool.

Although Sadling usually looks like a very cheerful girl who likes to laugh, she is actually very stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, especially she does not want to lose to the fool on the shore. She would rush into the water, just out of a willful thought: since you can be burned by fire to save me, I can also endure the cold to fish out the items.

Generally speaking, a person wearing normal clothes can only survive in zero-degree water for a few minutes. This is still the time that a person can survive in a still state. In fact, due to numbness of the limbs, loss of mobility due to low temperature, or blind struggle due to fear... most of the initiates drowned earlier than the limit time.

It can be seen that the choice made by the sad spirit at this moment is extremely dangerous. Xiaotan is a doctor after all, and he also knows this knowledge, so he reminds him repeatedly with great worry. Unfortunately, he doesn't appreciate it, and instead feels underestimated.

Time passed gradually, and every second seemed extremely long.

One minute...two minutes...in the blink of an eye, it's almost five minutes. Even if the water is very good, it's almost time to come up and change your breath. Although you won't faint if you drown in the game, your survival value will be reduced.

Xiao Tan couldn't wait any longer. He lay down on the shore, held down the miner's hat on his head with one hand, and supported the ground with the other hand. He closed his eyes and suddenly put his head into the water. He didn't know how far he could see like this, but he just wanted to try.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Tan opened his eyes in the water, Sad Spirit emerged from the water not far from him. Because Xiao Tan put his whole head into the water, he didn't hear the sound next to him.

Sadling climbed ashore quite embarrassedly. At this moment, the mission items were already packed in her bag. She was relieved after landing.

She pushed back the hair from her forehead and face, turned her head and looked at the fool next to her who had his head plunged into the water, and couldn't help but smile.

It is said that the lotus emerges from clear water, naturally without any decoration. At this moment, although Gu Xiaoling's face was pale due to the cold, it made her look more crystal clear and beautiful. It was a pity that Xiao Tan could not see the smile on her peach cheeks and the glance of her beautiful eyes.

A few seconds later, there was a splash, and Xiao Tan was kicked into the water. He emerged from the water with a puzzled look on his face, and looked back at the shore, "Eh? When did you get behind me?"

"We found the slab, let's go." Bei Ling said, turning around and taking steps.

"Huh? Then why did you kick me into the water?"

"Hey... hopeless fool." Bei Ling snickered, ignored him, and walked forward on her own.

"Hey! Wait for me!"
