Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 245 Sneak Attack
"Quick, go and help."
Xi Changlin didn't bother to continue sitting on the stone chair waiting, and stood up immediately. Although they might not be able to help, at least their master was fighting on the front line, and they couldn't just sit back and watch the show.
Xu Shen, Lin Xiao and the other two looked at each other and followed the second team.
After entering the town, Xi Changlin received a message through his earphone, which was the voice of the reconnaissance team members exploring ahead.
"Walk!"
Xi Changlin led the team and immediately bypassed the block and headed straight to another place.
As the group moved forward, the sound of the ground shaking became louder and louder, and from time to time there were bursts of hoarse growls.
Xi Changlin jumped onto a seventh-floor building, which was one of the taller buildings nearby. After all, it was a small suburban town, so the buildings were generally low and there were few tall buildings.
On the tall building, the obstruction of vision was much reduced, and everyone could see clearly that in the thin mist ahead, the skeleton-like zombie was fighting with the queen ant.
The two of them fought in reality. The queen ant rode on a white horse, holding a spear, like a brave knight, surrounding the "shell" and constantly attacking.
But what was surprising was that each of her shots hit the void and did not come into contact with the zombies, but the zombies seemed to have suffered a critical hit, with horrific wounds appearing on their bodies.
The fog is gathering and repairing these scars, which is also the reason why the surrounding fog becomes thinner.
If the battle continues, the fog over the entire town will most likely disappear.
Xu Shen watched the queen ant fighting and suddenly thought of her previous battle with Kuroxue. She used similar attack methods at that time. This was most likely the ability of the queen ant.
It’s weird to think that there’s no contact but it can hurt the enemy.
And this is most likely just a glimpse of its capabilities.
"Now this thing's attention is attracted by His Highness. We will support from the side and move the sniper gun over." Xi Changlin saw the situation clearly and immediately gave the order.
The Royal Guards are fully equipped. In addition to armor and weapons, they also have long-range thermal weapons.
Qian Qing, who had hidden abilities, immediately turned around and left to get the sniper cannon.
The others could only stand and wait, watching the fighting action.
This rare battle between kings, and it happened in real life, is an extremely rare sight.
Normally, the kings fight in the deep ruins, so they cannot see it even if there is a fight in front of them.
While Xi Changlin and the others were watching intently, Xu Shen's eyes swept around and his heart sank slightly. He still didn't see Maeve, nor did he see the meaty vine that came out of the ground.
Lou Haiyin was watching the queen ant's fight attentively when he suddenly heard a little elf whispering in his ear.
She was slightly stunned and turned her head to see Xu Shen beside her looking around, his mind not on the king-level battle in front of him.
What could be more attractive than this scene?
Just as Lou Haiyin was feeling surprised, the ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly began to shake.
Xu Shen looked down and his face suddenly changed.
"hide!"
Xu Shen said in a low voice.
With a bang, the building they were in was torn apart, and a fleshy vine emerged from it and swept out.
Lou Haiyin and Lin Xiao had seen this thing before and were horrified. They didn't expect that another one was lurking beside them.
Fortunately, Xu Shen reminded them in time, and the two reacted quickly and dodged quickly.
But except Xi Changlin and three members of Team 2, several others were scratched by the meat vines and flew backwards immediately, seriously injured. One of them seemed to be the target of the meat vines and was directly rolled up.
"Captain, save me!"
The man's body was like a worm in the meat vine, and he made terrible screams.
Xi Changlin was shocked and angry, and quickly rushed towards the meat vine with a gun.
The flesh vines swung and swung, revealing sharp stone-like particles all over their bodies. As they entangled themselves, they deformed the man's armor, causing him to scream and spit out large amounts of blood.
With a "puff", Xi Changlin's spear was stuck in the flesh vine, but before he could pull it out, the flesh vine swung in pain and threw his body out.
The person who was caught by the vine was submerged in the vine, and even his screams were drowned out.
After just one encounter, one member of the 2nd Division was killed.
When Xi Changlin landed on the ground, he looked at Xu Shen and the other three fiercely: "Have you sensed this thing a long time ago?"
"No." Xu Shen said, "Just one second before the attack."
"asshole!"
Xi Changlin glared at Xu Shen fiercely. Although everything that happened before happened quickly, he clearly heard Xu Shen's cry, and he also reacted hastily when Xu Shen's voice was uttered.
This means that Xu Shen had noticed the attack of this thing before him.
With such a sharp reaction, this guy is most likely a perception type.
Xu Shen was too lazy to pay attention to the other party. When he reminded them before, only Lou Haiyin and Lin Xiao trusted him more and dodged without hesitation, so they were not injured. The members of Team 2 naturally heard it, but they did not trust each other, which caused a hint of hesitation in their minds about his reminder.
If they were on the same team, their bodies would instinctively dodge without hesitation.
It was this slight hesitation that led to their accident.
Bang!
There was another loud noise, and a second flesh vine jumped out from the ground and attacked Xu Shen and the other two.
Xu Shen had noticed it early and immediately stepped back.
Lou Haiyin and Lin Xiao seemed not to see the meat vines. When they saw Xu Shen suddenly retreat, they were frightened and jumped away quickly, causing the meat vines to attack them again.
The meat vine that failed in the attack turned around and swept towards Xi Changlin and others.
Xi Changlin stared at Xu Shen. From the movement just now, Xu Shen could obviously see the meat vine.
"dispersion!"
Xi Changlin immediately gave the order and dodged quickly. After all, this was an A-level item, and even he had to be careful.
Even the binary limit is no different from a toy in front of Level A.
"Walk!"
After dodging the attack of the meat vines, Xu Shen immediately turned around and ran.
Lou Haiyin and Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still followed Xu Shen.
Soon, they escaped from the attack range of the meat vines. At this moment, the meat vines were attracted by Xi Changlin and others and chased after them.
"Damn, something almost happened." Lin Xiao breathed slightly. He was injured in the previous battle. Although his healing ability was amazing, it was not completely healed and now it was cracked again.
Lou Haiyin didn't say anything, but just looked at Xu Shen. This time she completely realized that Xu Shen's perception ability completely surpassed hers.
The elves around her were unaware of the attack from the vines. Even when the vines attacked, one of the elves was unable to dodge and had its body torn apart by the vines.
This made her feel heartbroken as she treated the elves as family members.
This was real "heartache", which made her feel her heart twitch twice and she had an urge to cough up blood.
"What should we do now?" Lou Haiyin asked.
Xu Shen turned around and looked at the battlefield, and said calmly: "Let's take a look at the situation first. We can't support this situation."
"Yeah." Lin Xiao agreed, and said indignantly: "You clearly reminded them just now, but the captain of Team 2 actually blamed you. It's really a case of good intentions not being rewarded."
"It seems that this 2nd Division is not as strong as imagined." Lou Haiyin said. This was not only her idea, but also the idea of the elves around her.
"Their reconnaissance team members have gone to the front line. There is no sensory department in the team. I think I understand that in critical moments, the sensory department is still the best. Both of you sensory department members in our team are fine." Lin Xiao said with a look of emotion.
Lou Haiyin was speechless. They were not out of danger yet. Looking at Lin Xiao's appearance, it seemed that he had already left the battle.
"Will we be blamed if we don't go to reinforce the queen ant?" Lou Haiyin looked at Xu Shen.
Xu Shen took a glance and said, "If I go, I might not even have the chance to be blamed."
When Lou Haiyin heard Xu Shen say this, she nodded slightly. She also thought so. Anyway, the Queen Ant could not be in danger. Even if she couldn't defeat her, she could retreat. What's more, the Queen Ant's mount, a white horse, was said to be an A-level beast!
In other words, even if the meat vine joins the battle, it will be a 2V2 situation.
Xu Shen didn't speak to the two of them anymore. Instead, he focused his attention and looked along the bottom edge of the vine.
The fleshy vine extends underground.
Through the ruins eye, the ground beneath his feet became illusory, and Xu Shen could also see underground.
But the light underground was dim and blurry.
But Xu Shen could still barely see the location of the meat vine, twisting underground.
What is exposed on the ground at this moment is only a part of the meat vine.
The underground meat vine is in the ruins world, or even in the deep ruins world, so other people's attacks on it cannot be seen.
The more Xu Shen looked at it, the more frightened he became. The visible part of this flesh vine alone was more than ten meters long. What did its main body look like? And how huge was it?
Or is this its true nature?
"What are you doing here?"
As a few people were watching, a figure appeared from behind. It was Qian Qing who had left earlier.
When he saw the three people returning to the edge of the town, he was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of something, and his face suddenly changed.
Xu Shen glanced at him and ignored him.
Lin Xiao didn't like the second team, and snorted coldly: "The second A-level just attacked us, and you seem to have suffered casualties. Our 6th team is too weak, so we won't let your second team hold us back."
"What?!"
Qian Qing's face looked grim, and he glared at Lin Xiao fiercely. He didn't bother to retaliate against his sarcasm, but grabbed a few sniper guns and rushed forward quickly.
"He's quite loyal." Lou Haiyin said as she saw him leaving.
"He's probably afraid that their captain will blame him." Lin Xiao said disdainfully.
Lou Haiyin thought about it and did not refute.
At this moment, the three of them were standing on the outer edge of the battlefield, just watching from afar.
Under the attack of the meat vines, the 2nd Squad also scattered and fled for their lives, gathering outside the town.
Soon someone rushed out from the battlefield. Seeing Xu Shen and the other two waiting outside, he immediately became furious and walked towards them:
"You guys from Squad 6, who told you to come here? Everyone is fighting, and you're running here to hide?!"
The three of them looked at each other, and Lin Xiao said angrily: "Didn't you escape here too? If you have the guts, go ahead!"
"What's your attitude? Talking back at me? If we hadn't rescued you, you would have died long ago!" the man said angrily.
"What a joke! By the time you guys arrived so slowly, we had already escaped. If you have the ability, just go in and rescue our captain!" Lin Xiao retorted.
The captain cannot be rescued... Although Lou Haiyin was happy about Lin Xiao’s rebuttal, he still secretly complained in his heart.
"That's because your captain is incompetent. Why do you need us to save you? We are lucky enough to have saved you guys." The other party said angrily, "Three bastards who don't know how to repay kindness!"
"What favor have you done for us?" Lou Haiyin interrupted when she saw that she was being scolded.
"Hmph, you'll have something to worry about when you get back." The other party seemed to realize that he could not win an argument with three mouths, let alone a win, so he could only snort coldly.
Not long after, another person escaped from the front. He seemed to have seen a few people and immediately rushed over.
The opponent's arm was twisted and seemed to be broken, and was scratched by the flesh vine.
Seeing this, the people who had escaped earlier immediately helped bandage him, while whispering bad things about Xu Shen and the others.
Just as the other party was bandaged, another person rushed over from the front. It was Qian Qing who had rushed in with a sniper gun before.
Xu Shen looked at the other person indifferently. Only he saw that Qian Qing had not rushed in at all. He just stayed far away from them and was also some distance away from the battle.
He just held a few sniper guns and waited there.
He had no intention of providing support at all, and seemed to think that no one would notice him. Who knows if he was slacking off?
Now he came running over happily, with a face full of sweat.
"Qian Qing!"
The two men saw Qian Qing rushing out of the town and asked hurriedly, "Have you seen the captain and the others?"
"I, I didn't find it." Qian Qing ran up to the two of them, panting, and threw a few sniper guns on the ground, saying, "I'm so tired, these things are so heavy, are you all scattered?"
"The captain asked us to disperse and gather outside the town." said the person before.
Qian Qing asked with concern: "Is anyone injured?"
"Lao Fang is dead." The young man with an injured arm said with a sad expression.
Qian Qing was startled and a little shocked, then his eyes darkened and he clenched his fists: "Damn beast."
"Ask them where they are."
The person before him pressed the headset and called out a few times, but no one responded.
Not long after, the captain's voice sounded and a few words were exchanged.
A few minutes later, Xi Changlin came running over.
After he arrived, two more people rushed out, making a total of six people present. In addition to the one who died, there was still one person who did not come out.
Xi Changlin called several times with the headset, but there was no response, which probably meant something bad happened.
"Damn it, this thing is too insidious, it's lying in ambush nearby." Someone looked annoyed, and originally wanted to say "damn it", this thing actually didn't go to fight with the queen ant, but came to attack us, but he thought that saying this was too disrespectful and would easily give people a chance to talk about it, so he changed his mind temporarily.
"Hey, you guys are lucky. You're all okay!"
Qian Qing looked at Xu Shen and the others with an unfriendly look.
The others also looked over. They had just lost a team member, and when they saw that Xu Shen and the other two were still safe and sound, they felt a little unhappy.
"What do you want to do? We kindly warned you before that thing attacked, but instead of being grateful, you blame us?" Lin Xiao asked hurriedly, stepping forward slightly to stand in front of Xu Shen and Lou Haiyin.
In his understanding, Xu Shen and Lou Haiyin are of the perception type. If the opponent launches a sneak attack, he has a stronger body and can block it.
