The scene was very awkward. No one knew what to say.
Powell the Great White Shark and Ness the Monster, who had laughed the loudest and most arrogantly just now, felt their faces burning as if they had been slapped in the face.
Bloody Mary immediately bent down, took out the dagger from her calf, and searched the ground. There was only a pool of sticky mucus left on the riverbank. The lichen-like "bugs" had disappeared without a trace. If not for so many people seeing it with their own eyes, they would not have believed it! How could there be such strange bugs in the world? But if it was not a bug, but a lichen or a fungus, how could it slip away under everyone's eyes?
"What the hell!" Dozens of people turned over the stones on the riverbank, but did not find a single bug.
However.
No one doubted Lin Dong anymore.
Some mercenaries even thought that Mr. Wood was very mysterious.
He had never been here before, but he could recognize the monsters on the riverbank as bugs. The strangest thing was that he did not want to argue with them, which made people feel helpless.
"Hahahahaha!" The Griffin threw his head back and laughed wildly, venting the frustration of being ridiculed by others in his hearty laughter.
"Those might not be worms, they might be other creatures!" Quick Gunner Duke was still trying to be stubborn to the end.
"I don't want to talk to people with low intelligence!" Griffon turned around and walked away.
"What did you say?" Duque was so angry that he wanted to pull out his gun.
"Goodbye!" Griffon had already ignored these scumbags with low intelligence. They were not even qualified to challenge himself, let alone the God of Heaven!
After the bug incident.
The morale of the Plantagenet Dynasty, the Eye of God, and the Knights Templar was dampened.
They began to realize that in Mr. Wood's field of expertise, trying to provoke him was akin to asking for abuse. Professor Jeffery was the best example. Professor Jeffrey was also an outstanding person. He was the scientific leader of the Mayflower Formation. It was only because he challenged a more professional opponent that he could not compete with that he looked like a clown.
People did not realize this at first.
Until he was slapped in the face by reality.
Fang Zhao understood that Professor Jeffery had lost unjustly. If he had not challenged Mr Wood to a duel, he would not have been ridiculed by the entire world.
"Tsk, the people of the Darkness Palace really have good taste!" Chief Inquisitor Thomas sighed. "No wonder Edward II and Josiah of the Mayflower Formation were so opposed to our actions. It's a pity that no one listened!"
"Cooperation in this world is nothing more than profit. As long as we can offer sufficient conditions, we can still win over Mr. Wood! This young man was a truly intelligent person. He would not easily bet on any side. The Darkness Palace and the Plantagenet Dynasty had cooperated well with him previously, but he had not really expressed his intention to form an alliance. I think he'll observe for a while. Only when he has the strength to protect himself and the best target will he take action. In fact, I suspect that he won't cooperate with anyone. He'll keep using the gene medicine as bait to place himself in a safer position. He'll just sit and watch as the major forces fight each other! "Bord had his own ideas.
"Perhaps, but the formula of the medicine is in his hands. He has the initiative, so there's nothing wrong with him doing this." Thomas did not doubt this at all.
"If that's the case, we might have a chance in the future!" Bord glanced at the Darkness Palace. "I have to say, compared to the impatient Plantagenet Dynasty, the Darkness Palace is much smarter!"
After the break.
The group continued on their journey.
Bloody Mary noticed that Enoko Kazama had caught a strange transparent bug. She put it in a small glass bottle and secretly passed it to Mr Wood. Because it was too fast, Bloody Mary did not see the bug's appearance clearly. However, she was sure that it was a bug. Even with the bottle, the little thing inside was still ferocious.
She looked at the mad scientist Parsons beside her. Parsons also took out a bottle and waved it at her, indicating that he had completed his task.
They did not catch the bug, but Parsons had used a sealed bottle to store a small bottle of mucus.
This was so that they could study it when they returned.
The expedition team continued on for another day and night.
The endless underground tunnels were mind-blowing. If not for the temporary resting spots along the way, some of them might have fallen behind.
"Damn it, there are two paths in front of us that look exactly the same. I really wonder if we are going in circles!" Andre the Heavy Knight was short-tempered. Fortunately, Reynold was there to suppress him, so he did not suggest to split up with the people of the Darkness Palace.
"We lost more than 50 brothers in the tunnel on the left. Three exploration teams were completely wiped out. We will not continue to send people to their deaths. So, if any of you are willing to give it a try, we will not oppose it. The tunnel on the right was also explored by us with blood and lives. Although it's dangerous, it will lead to our second camp, "Philip introduced.
"Philip, of course we will listen to you. However, are you sure we can reach the second camp in another day?" Arius, the flag bearer of the Eden Army, asked.
"Another day and night. Our current speed is slower than our original plan." Philip nodded.
"Will there be danger next?" Chief Judge Thomas asked.
"There might be. We've explored several times. We didn't encounter the monsters in the tunnels every time, but there were records of us being completely wiped out. There are dozens of different types of monsters in there. No matter what kind, we have to be careful when dealing with them. Oh yes, you might have noticed that the power of guns will start to weaken here. When we reach the third camp, firearms will be completely useless! Don't ask me why, I'm just telling you the truth. If you like to carry guns all the time and are not afraid of trouble, then do as you please! " Philip glanced at Duque. This quick shooter was the one who made the most noise. What was more annoying was that he would test the power of his guns every few steps.
This was to attract as many monsters as possible in the underground tunnels.
Philip tried to persuade him several times.
However, Duque turned a deaf ear and insisted on testing the guns.
A few gunshots rang out. Duke once again tested the power of the dual guns in his hands. "Sh * t, there's only half of its power left. I really don't understand why there's such an effect. Is this still Earth? I don't think even hell would reject firearms! "
At the far end of the tunnel.
A few small animals with glowing eyes were peeking around. They seemed to have been attracted by the smell of humans and the sound of gunshots.
"Duque, if you continue to test the guns, I'll cut off your head and stuff it up your ass! Sometimes I feel that having a pig as a teammate is better than having an idiot like you! Look over there, more monsters are attracted by your gunshots! If you continue like this, you might even wake up the devils in Hell! "Griffon was furious.
"Just a few rats. Can't I just kill them with a few shots?" Duque snorted coldly.
He went up.
He took out his guns and fired five shots.
All the small animals in the dark fell to the ground. Each of them had a bullet in the center of their head. Their brains gushed out and they didn't even have time to scream before they died.
Duque blew at the smoke from the muzzle and raised his eyebrows proudly. He wanted to show off to Griffon that these underground monsters were just child's play.
"Be careful!" Shadowwitch Amanda suddenly warned. "There's a shadow behind us, and it's huge!"
"Let me!" Great White Shark Powell picked up a Remington M870 shotgun and rushed forward.
Boom, boom, boom!
The powerful shotgun hit the slowly crawling black shadow.
The great white shark, Powell, looked pleased with himself. Even with only half of its power left, the Remington M870 was not something an ordinary creature could withstand. Not to mention a few underground rats, even an elephant would be severely injured by its bombardment.
"Be careful!" Shadowwitch Amanda's warning did not stop. On the contrary, her voice became even sharper.
"Wha, what?" Great White Shark Powell took a closer look and realized that the slowly approaching black shadow had not fallen. It didn't even stop and continued to close in on Powell. Powell was furious. He kept firing the Remington shotgun in his hand. When he ran out of bullets, he quickly reloaded. He wanted to blast the monster in front of him into pieces. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to vent his anger.
Boom, boom, boom, boom …
Powell fired 16 shots in a row. But the huge black shadow was getting closer and closer in the smoke.
It didn't seem to be injured at all. Every time Powell fired a shot, it would pause for a moment and then continue to move forward. Finally, when Powell stopped firing in despair, it was less than five meters away from him.
"Go to hell, you monster!" Powell wanted to continue shooting, but Duke quickly pulled him back and retreated. He was so angry that he was about to explode.
A stream of dark green liquid.
It sprayed out from the monster's mouth.
It formed a long parabola and fell where Powell had been standing.
The rocks on the ground seemed to have been corroded by strong acid. White smoke rose from them, and the surface of the rocks quickly melted … Everyone in the expedition team felt their scalps go numb when they saw this terrifying acid. If they were to be splashed by this acid, they would probably be melted into a puddle of water!
Powell, who had escaped death by Duque, was so scared that he almost peed his pants.
Fortunately, his companions came to his rescue.
Otherwise.
His life would have been in danger.
"This monster should be an Excavator! It has a thick exoskeleton like an ant, so it's not afraid of bullets at all. " Philip asked his men to light up a strong flashlight. The group looked at the monster in front of them and saw that it was almost 1.5 meters tall and four to five meters long. It had a huge head and chest, and its tail was gradually narrowing. It had no wings, but it had thick armor and sharp needle-like thorns on its back. Its terrifying jaws were like excavators. Inside the jagged teeth was a bloody mouth that opened and closed from time to time.
"How do we deal with it?" James quickly asked. With this monster that could spray strong acid and was not afraid of bullets, how could they move forward?
"I don't know. When we encountered it, we had to force our way through! If we don't provoke it, the Excavator is usually not dangerous. It's one of the least dangerous creatures around the second campsite. If we're stumped by it, we can forget about exploring and just go home! "Philip shook his head. He had no idea what to do.
"How many times can it spray strong acid?" Leonard asked again.
"I don't know. As long as someone gets close, it will not stop. I don't know what its limit is." Philip's words gave everyone a headache. If that was really the case, it might be dangerous to force their way through.
"Lure it out and find a spacious place. We'll send a few agile people to restrain it, and then the rest of us will quickly pass through!" Bloody Mary came up with a plan.
"What do you think, Mr. Wood?" Chief Judge Thomas suddenly looked at Lin Dong.
"I don't think it's that troublesome!" Lin Dong reached out to Fox. "Lend me your gun."
Fox pulled out the gun from his waist and handed it to him.
Lin Dong took the gun.
He then walked toward the Excavator.
Everyone was baffled. Powell's shotgun could not even leave a scratch on the monster's skin. What was he going to do with a pistol that was 50% less powerful? Was he going to tickle the Excavator?
"Be careful, five meters is the danger zone!" Philip was shocked and quickly reminded Lin Dong not to get too close.
The Excavator would spit strong acid if it was within five meters of the Excavator.
Lin Dong waved his hand.
He calmly walked toward the strange-looking Ankheg.
He did not fire the gun, but instead threw it in front of the Excavator. Everyone almost fainted. Did his hand slip?
The Excavator suddenly lowered its huge head and greedily used its bony tongue to suck the gun from the ground into its mouth. Then, it started chewing. This scene caused the people behind to be dumbfounded. F * ck, this guy actually likes to eat pistols! No, it shouldn't like to eat guns. It should like to eat metal!
"Good boy!" Lin Dong stroked the armor on the Ankheg's head as if he was caressing his pet cat or puppy.
Bloody Mary and the others were speechless.
"As expected of Lord Kami!" Griffon's eyes were filled with stars of worship.
Although Lin Dong was able to take care of the gluttonous Ankheg with a single pistol, no one dared to touch the Ankheg apart from Lin Dong. Everyone took a detour around the Ankheg, afraid that they would disturb its meal. Lin Dong opened his mouth and spat out some acid.
Duque, the quick shooter, was unhappy that Lin Dong had stolen all the limelight. He snorted loudly.
Fortunately.
He knew his place and did not dare to open his mouth to attract hatred. Otherwise, Griffon and DonQuixote would really beat him up. On the other side, Jonathan, Remiga, and the other elites of the Dark Temple were also extremely unhappy with Duque. You caused the trouble, but Mr Wood came up with the solution. Not only are you not grateful, but you also have the guts to make noise here?
Monster Ness wanted to help his two old friends, so he tried to nitpick, "Actually, that Excavator could have been killed with a piece of scrap metal. There was no need to show off with a gun!"
This time, his boss, Bloody Mary, was furious and shouted at him, "Shut up!"
