The Naga that climbed down from the tree had a grayish-white body. Its head, chest, hands, and even the floating scales on its body were all grayish-white. It had no legs and a long tail below its waist. The tail was coiled around the tree trunk, leaving behind a transparent mucus as it swam. Its shoulders and arms were covered in black bone spikes, and its flat head was covered in a layer of exoskeleton. As soon as the Naga climbed down, it stretched out its hand towards the people below and spat out bone spikes from its palm like a machine gun!
Rui Jin pushed Kira away and raised his machine gun, which could be called a killing weapon, and fired at the tree. A few powerful Origin Energy bullets exploded on the Naga's body, causing a large amount of blood to bloom. The Naga immediately fell from the tree, its chest pierced through, but it was still twitching.
From this distance, one could clearly see its head. It was flat and had no eyebrows. His two eyeballs were vertical, and his mouth was filled with sharp teeth. A forked tongue stuck out like a snake's tongue.
"What's going on with this thing?" The sharpshooter shouted, "Isn't this the nest of the lizard snake? Why is there such a thing? Could they be symbiotic creatures? "
As everyone knew, powerful creatures, whether individually or in groups, rarely lived in the same area as other creatures. Creatures had a strong sense of territory, delineating their own areas of activity and treating other foreign creatures that entered the area as enemies.
This was especially true for intelligent creatures like lizards, so it was inconceivable to find such a Naga in the place where the lizard snake was active. Moreover, the Naga and the lizard seemed to have a lot in common, so it was no wonder that the sharpshooter thought they were symbiotic creatures.
If they were symbiotic creatures, then there was a high chance that the lizard snake and the Naga were close relatives. They had evolved from the same species, but they had taken different evolutionary paths.
"I don't know either." Rui Jin said.
Then a team member warned, "They're coming!"
Strange sounds rang out in the forest. It was the sound of the Naga swimming through the vegetation. If one were to look down from the top of the forest, one would see greyish-white figures converging from all directions. Soon, the Naga appeared in the eyes of the team. Rui Jin spat and shouted, "Kill these things.
”
A Naga that had just popped out from behind a tree was immediately blasted by Rachel's machine gun, instantly breaking its body. More and more Nagas emerged from the trees, and some swam quickly from the grass. Their snake-like bodies could move freely on the grass or tree trunks without using their hands, so they could do more things, such as spitting out black spikes from their palms.
Rachel's team formed a defensive formation. The team members activated their shields and retaliated with Mystic Machine Guns. Beams of bright light pierced through the forest, killing the Nagas that kept popping out. The most powerful one was Rui Jin's machine cannon. It blasted out a stream of fire, and when the stream of fire swept past, be it the Naga or the giant tree, they were all blasted apart. Rachel's shooting skills could actually be a little better, but he made up his mind to flatten the nearby trees to clear out a relatively wide field of vision. Otherwise, it wouldn't be advantageous for them if the Nagas hid here and there.
The cannon spun around, and the surrounding trees collapsed. The fallen tree trunk became a temporary cover for the Nagas, but they underestimated the power of the magic energy firearms, especially the firearms in the hands of these officers. The Origin Energy bullets dragged a trail of light and easily pierced through the tree trunk and landed on the Naga's body.
During the battle, Rui Jin discovered that these Nagas also had gender differences. Males were taller and had pale skin. Females, on the other hand, were smaller and more agile than males, except for their breasts.
This discovery did not make Rui Jin happy. The Nagas, with men and women, could already form a tribe like the natives of the planet. The tribe was cohesive, and it was not something a simple lizard could compare to. Therefore, these Nagas would only be more troublesome than the lizards, even if they were not as threatening as the lizards.
After losing the cover of the trees, the Nagas simply charged forward. They let out hissing sounds as if they were transmitting something. Then, all the Nagas surged forward in a dense circle like a huge gray wave.
Rui Jin shouted, "Prepare for close combat!
”
There were only eight of them. No matter how fierce their firepower was, they would not be able to kill this wave of Nagas. Just looking at the dense formation of the Nagas, there were probably eight hundred of them, if not a thousand.
Immediately, a few men in the team. Apart from Rui Jin and the sharpshooter, even the tracking expert, Debang, had lost his gun. Everyone's Origin Energy burst forth, and phantoms took shape behind them. There were giants brandishing two axes, gorillas constantly hammering their chests, or snow beasts with ice thorns on their backs. These phantoms were of different shapes, but they were the projections of their ancestors released by these team members.
After releasing the projection, under the cover of Rui Jin's remaining people, the melee team members charged towards the incoming Nagas.
The giant waved his axes and sent a large number of Nagas flying. Following that, the gorilla leaped over the giant's head and smashed down with its fists, creating a shockwave that knocked down the group of Nagas in front of it to the ground. The snow beast with crystal thorns on its back opened its mouth wide and spat out a snowstorm. As a result, the Nagas who were affected by the storm froze one after another. Under the gorilla's rampage, the ice sculptures were immediately shattered.
In addition, a few officers joined the circle, forming a line of defense with the projection of the ancestors they had released.
Just as the battle was temporarily stabilized, Rui Jin suddenly saw something flash in the distant forest. It was a wisp of scarlet red, like a blazing flame!
Then the thing emerged from behind the trees. It was a lizard standing on its hind legs. On its flat head, there were two orange-yellow eyes with a brown vertical stripe. The lizard's entire body was covered in fiery red scales, and it was holding a crude cone spear in both hands. Below the waist was the body of a lizard, and four thick legs supported its body. This lizard, which was the size of a chariot, had a black exoskeleton on its head and chest, protecting it like armor. It began to charge, and its lower body was like a moving chassis, leaping between the vegetation as if it was flying. Judging from its speed, Rui Jin knew that they wouldn't have time to clean up all the Nagas before turning around to deal with this lizard.
Rui Jin roared, raised his machine gun, and fired in the direction of the lizard. The bullets converged into a river of light and swept over, shattering a group of Nagas in front of them into pieces. Just as he was about to hit the lizard, the big fellow moved horizontally with exceptional agility, causing Rui Jin to sweep through the air. Then, he raised his hand and raised the cone spear in his hand. Then, flames of Origin Energy surged out from the lizard's body, and the cone spear instantly seemed to burn.
In the next moment, the lizard threw out its cone spear.
The cone spear dragged a streak of flame across the air of the forest and landed on the team.
Rui Jin cursed softly and raised his cannon to sweep it away. A rain of bullets caught up with the cone spear and forcefully pushed it away. The cone spear landed in the open space behind the team and exploded violently. Fragments of the cone spear shot out in all directions, cutting open the surrounding Nagas.
At this moment, the lizard stretched out its hand behind it. The skin on its back squirmed, and another cone spear rose from it. It was covered in mucus.
Rui Jin rushed out and fired with the cannon. The bullet stream landed on the lizard's chest. The exoskeleton on its chest was exceptionally hard, and it actually resisted the bullet stream. However, the impact still pushed it back continuously.
A moment later, the skeletal armor was finally broken. The lizard could only use its own flesh and blood to block the rain of bullets, causing blood to splatter everywhere. By the time Rui Jin arrived in front of it, a large hole had been blasted open in the lizard's chest. The big fellow had finally died.
Rui Jin's eyebrows twitched when he looked at the lizard that looked like a snake. First, it was the Naga, then this kind of lizard. It seemed that the depths of this forest were not only the nest of the lizard snake, but also a large number of its close relatives.
Red figures constantly flashed past in the distance of the forest. Clearly, more lizards were coming after hearing the sound. Rui Jin ran back and shouted, "We should go.
”
Just as he finished speaking, he saw a valley rising from the ground, and a bulging mark headed in the direction of the team. Rui Jin's expression changed as he shouted, "Be careful, there's something underground!"
At the end of his words, the ground in the inner circle of the team suddenly cracked open, and with a crash, the mud and grass on the surface sank. Kira, who was standing there, fell down and hurriedly grabbed the edge. Her companion was about to pull her when Kira suddenly screamed. As if something was dragging her away from below, her figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the crypt.
The companion who rushed to the side only saw a gray face looking at him in the darkness. There were no eyes on that face, only two empty eye sockets and a mouth full of sharp teeth.
Then it disappeared into the darkness.
At this moment, awl spears filled with Origin Energy pierced through the air from the depths of the forest and shot into the human position, causing bursts of explosions. Rui Jin ran back. When he heard that Kira had been taken away, he shook his head and decisively ordered the team to retreat.
More crypts continued to crack open, and gray-white, scaleless arms stretched out from within. They wanted to catch humans and bring them inside, but they only caught air.
Rui Jin ran out of the forest with his team. It was already dark outside the forest. They stood on the other side of the death zone and looked at the forest. Strange howls rang out in the forest, and fluorescent lights that looked like ghost flames lit up in the darkness.
The fluorescent lights floated in the forest for a long time, and after a few minutes, they gradually disappeared.
The team members sat on the ground, and the sharpshooter gasped, "What are those? Damn it, how could there be such a thing in the Garden of Eden! "
"I don't know. I only know that we have to report this. This place is very dangerous. No matter what those things are, the Federation must send troops to raze this forest. Otherwise, if all the things inside escape, we won't just be throwing a few control areas.
”
Rui Jin said with a heavy expression.
