Chapter 28 Chaotic Battle!
Chapter 28 Chaotic Battle!
Darkness enveloped this hastily assembled squad.
The limited lighting cast their shadows, which flickered erratically within the confined space.
The silence amplifies every subtle sound.
Something seemed to be crawling overhead, and obscure whispers came from the depths of the shadows.
The invisible pressure weighed on everyone's heart like a boulder, constantly eroding their reason.
Then, at a certain moment, a heavy thud was heard from ahead.
boom! ! !
Even though he had already sensed danger nearby through the Torchwatch, Yu Jing still shuddered and got goosebumps all over his body.
"Be careful, watch your surroundings!"
The mercenary spoke up, trying to dispel the ominous premonition in his heart through communication.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a heavy thud was heard from his right rear, along with the sound of chains being dragged across the ground.
Such sounds from unknown sources can subconsciously evoke negative associations.
Unfortunately, the lighting range is limited, so you can't see anything more than three meters away.
To figure out what was going on, Yu Jing roughly determined the location, then took a flashbang from his waist and threw it.
"I'm using a flashbang to check the situation ahead, watch out!"
Throwing a flashbang rashly under normal circumstances may obstruct your teammates' vision.
However, the room's suppression of light gave Yu Jing room to maneuver. A few seconds later, accompanied by a loud bang, a burst of intense light suddenly erupted seven or eight meters in front of the team.
Although the duration was short, it was enough for them to see the situation on the other side.
What landed appeared to be a rusty iron cage. The flashbang only illuminated part of it. The cage door was shaken open by the impact of the landing, and you could vaguely see what was locked inside.
Just as Yu Jing was about to throw another flashbang, there were continuous sounds of things hitting the ground around him.
This time the sound was much softer, unlike the iron cage, and the distance was closer, followed by the familiar sound of bones grinding together.
"Still skeleton soldiers!"
Yu Jing, who was in charge of the flank, hurriedly reminded him.
Almost at the same time he spoke, several skeleton soldiers wielding rusted longswords rushed into the illuminated area.
Unlike the skeleton soldiers we encountered before, not to mention that the skeleton soldiers in this room actually fell from the ceiling, their form was no longer a pure skeleton. They had significantly more armor plates on their bodies and were covered with several layers of gray-white silk netting.
Both speed and power seem to have improved.
Since the light is suppressed, the fact that they can be seen means that they have already approached within three meters.
This is undoubtedly extremely disadvantageous for the team.
At such close range, even the most powerful shotgun cannot simultaneously deal with attacks from multiple directions.
Yu Jing had no time to worry about the battle situation of others. He could only do his best to do his job. The crisis did not make him back down. Instead, it made him more excited. He pulled the trigger one after another, first smashing the skeleton soldier closest to him. Then he turned around, raised his gun, used the gun to deflect the longsword, kicked and broke its leg bone, and fired two shots in a row.
Click!
Hearing the sound of gunfire and realizing that he was out of ammunition, Yu Jing grabbed the muzzle without hesitation and threw it at another skeleton, causing it to stagger and slowing down its attack.
He lifted his trench coat, drew his revolver with his left hand and his machete with his right, and strode forward to meet them.
The enhanced physical attributes of [Savage Physique] were on full display at this moment. Two slashes easily felled the skeleton soldier, and the revolver aimed at its head to easily finish it off.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Jing slew three skeletons. Before he could even feel proud of his achievement, he heard a chilling scream from the Green Ghost behind him.
"There's a spider overhead!"
He hurriedly looked up, and the sight that met his eyes made Yu Jing's scalp tingle.
Just as they were dealing with the skeleton soldiers, several giant spiders suddenly appeared above their heads, sliding down their silken webs.
They are similar in size to adult domestic pigs, with a layer of rough, gray-black armor covering their bodies. The gaps are filled with dirt, mold, and dried bloodstains. In the center of their two rows of narrow eyeballs, there are twisted red and green stripes, like natural curse marks, with a cold, matte sheen.
Compared to them, even the skeleton soldiers looked handsome.
With silk threads attached to their bloated abdomens, three spiders burst into the battlefield from above the heads of the group. Their eight long legs, seemingly slender, were actually as hard as steel needles, with sharp edges and black hooks at the tips, swaying as if trying to capture and kill the blue demon in the middle of the formation.
They clearly possessed a certain level of intelligence, knowing who the key damage dealers of this squad were. Two of them launched a surprise attack on the Blue Demons, while the other rushed towards the two in front, spitting out spider silk to disrupt their movements.
This scene, comparable to a horror movie, would probably scare an ordinary person half to death.
No wonder the Blue Demon was so eager to ask for help.
At this moment, the mercenaries and Blackhand were dodging the spider webs and fighting the skeleton soldiers, and even if they heard the shouts, they could not come to their aid.
Fortunately, Yu Jing reacted quickly enough. Realizing that Qing Gui was in danger, she immediately turned around and rushed over, raising her revolver and pulling the trigger repeatedly at the spider closest to her.
The .45 caliber bullets are quite powerful, easily piercing through the spider's hard armor, causing its juices to splatter.
However, the spider, in pain, did not retreat. Instead, it cut off the silk thread on its abdomen and swooped down, bringing with it a chilling, fishy wind as it pounced on the green ghost. Its sharp fangs gleamed coldly, locking onto her neck, while its long, hooked legs hooked at her armor and flesh.
Another spider swung and pounced towards Yu Jing, preventing him from rescuing Qing Gui.
Oops!
Yu Jing, however, was not afraid of spiders.
The problem is that he can't possibly bypass the spider that's right next to him to reinforce the Blue Demon.
At this critical moment, the Blue Demon's response made his eyes widen in surprise.
After shooting her last arrow, the Green Demon somehow managed to fold the strangely shaped longbow into a serpentine scimitar with a flick of her left hand, which was holding the middle of the bow. She then thrust the bow at the spider in front of her.
The spider clearly hadn't expected the Blue Demon to have this trick up its sleeve. Instead of tasting the tender flesh, its wide-open, ferocious mandibles were stuffed full of the curved blade, which churned around. The hook that was supposed to pierce the Blue Demon's shoulder blade froze in mid-air, trembling uncontrollably.
The next second, the huge body collapsed to the ground and became completely still.
The Green Demon, having successfully killed a spider, continued his actions, swinging his curved sword again. With a whirring sound, he transformed it back into a longbow, drew his hand, and fired two arrows at the spider that was entangled with Yu Jing, piercing its abdomen.
Yu Jing's earlier shots, along with luring away a spider, bought her valuable time to react.
This was her reward.
The severely wounded spider shrieked and tried to retreat. Yu Jing was not about to miss the opportunity to strike while the spider was down. He decisively chased after it and emptied the magazine on its head. The spider, which had just been pulled up halfway by the spider silk, could no longer hold on and wobbled as it fell.
