Genius One Second Remember If You Want To Go? To provide you with exciting novels to read.
In the wet, muddy, and densely vegetated tropical rainforest, a pursuit was taking place.
The Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group had been in pursuit for more than six minutes, and the distance between the two sides had been reduced to less than 100 meters.
The main reason was that Feng Luo's group had two NPCs with no combat power. They could not move fast enough to shake off the pursuers behind them. Fortunately, they had chosen to return the way they came. At least they did not need to expend as much energy to open a path as they had when they came.
This was also thanks to the D-grade "Smoke Bomb" that Feng Luo had created himself, which had been extremely useful along the way.
Feng Luo would throw one after every set distance. The thick smoke not only sealed off the path, but also delayed the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group for a lot of time due to the fear of an ambush behind the smoke.
They wanted to go around the smoke bomb's range, but that would require them to open a new path. The speed was not much slower than waiting for the smoke to disperse.
Although the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group had 20 people chasing them, with Feng Luo's group's strength, they had a chance of winning if they fought.
However, the problem was that it would definitely take some time to get rid of these people. If they fought close to the military base and the other party delayed for a while, their reinforcements would be able to arrive quickly.
That was why Feng Luo's group had chosen to "escape" earlier and did not plan to fight back. They had to at least pull the other party further away from the base.
However, plans could not keep up with changes. At that moment, the two NPC crew members in charge of scouting suddenly stared at the recon meter in their hands and said anxiously.
"There are signs of a large number of creatures 20 meters ahead!"
Yes, two. There were two NPC crew members in the team.
The NPC crew member who had been arranged to guard the base gate had immediately contacted Red Queen through the communicator after discovering the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group. NPCs also had communicators that could communicate with players through a specific channel. However, because of the signal interference inside the base, he had no way of contacting her.
The NPC crew member cleverly chose to go behind the wall that connected to the rainforest. After seeing Feng Luo and the others come out, he returned to the team.
"There's a monster?"
Hearing the words of the two NPC crew members, everyone stopped in their tracks.
The scouting devices in War had different effects when used on players and monsters.
Generally speaking, as long as it was a monster with no obvious hiding ability, it could be detected by the detection device within the detection range. If it could be scanned face to face, it could obtain information about the monster.
However, against players and humanoid NPCs, the effective range of Detection would be significantly reduced. Moreover, Detection could only detect signs of life, not specific information about players.
In addition, Scouts not only had reconnaissance abilities, but they also had anti-reconnaissance abilities.
With the interference ability of the recon instrument, he could affect the display of the opponent's recon instrument within a certain range.
This was also the reason why most squads in War were equipped with Scouts.
Of course, this kind of shielding effect was not guaranteed to succeed. Instead, it depended on the probabilities of both parties.
As for the level of a Scout's reconnaissance ability, it was mainly affected by two aspects. One was the level of the reconnaissance equipment, and the other was the proficiency of the reconnaissance skills.
Among them, the recon meter was the key. Compared to the Detection skill that had to be used to be effective, the recon meter could maintain its detection ability for a long time.
As such, the price of a good recon meter might even be more expensive than a manipulator's energy converter (magic staff). 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net
】
The recon meters of the two NPCs were undoubtedly only average. However, the target of their detection was not the players, but the monsters that were gathered together and emitting strong life signatures.
From the situation shown by the recon meter, the number of monsters was at least over a hundred, densely packed together in an area in front of them.
Most of the monsters were not large in size, only about a foot long. However, there were a few that were more than a meter long.
They looked a little like snakes, but their bodies were much wider than snakes. Moreover, they were not moving in their direction. It seemed like their Perception was not very high.
"That position seems to be the place where we killed the giant Sea Serpent!"
Black Panther's professionally trained memory allowed him to remember the situation in that area from the surrounding environment.
"Take a detour!"
Red Queen hesitated for a moment before making a decision.
Under such circumstances, they did not have time to tangle with the monsters.
Although they were taking a detour, they could not go too far. As such, everyone moved together at a distance of more than ten meters from the area where the monsters were gathered, quickly opening up a new path.
At the same time, Feng Luo threw a smoke bomb at the location of the detour so that even if the monsters caught up, it would not be easy to tell which path they had taken.
After that, just in case, Feng Luo also specially activated the "Quick Sneak" skill and carefully took a few steps forward. He pushed aside the broad leaves that blocked his line of sight to see what the monsters in front of him were.
In the end, the scene that entered his eyes made his head feel a little numb.
The ten-meter-long Mutant Sea Serpent that they had killed had now become a dried-up snake body that had lost all its blood. On the body of the snake and the ground where the blood had flowed, there was a kind of mollusk wriggling densely.
Blood-sucking Leeches!
This kind of insect, which was very common in tropical rainforests, was very frightening at that moment.
After sucking the blood from the giant Sea Serpent's corpse, the leeches, which were originally the size of a finger, had grown to a shocking size.
The smallest of the leeches in front of them was about a foot long, while the largest was more than a meter long. Hundreds of them were densely packed together and intertwined with each other.
Moreover, the bodies of the leeches that were more than a meter long had brown patterns similar to those of the giant Sea Serpent. At the same time, in the middle of the hundreds of sharp teeth in their round mouths, there was a blue forked tongue sticking out.
Feng Luo wisely retreated with light steps and caught up with the rest of the people who had already changed their path.
"Old Feng? What's going on? "
Big Pineapple looked a little curious. He did not forget to ask Feng Luo as he hurried along.
"It's best not to say it," Feng Luo said, shaking his head. "You guys don't want to see that. It'll probably be disgusting."
"Tsk," Big Pineapple said disapprovingly. "What haven't I seen before? How could I be disgusted?"
However, his expression quickly changed.
Because the newly opened path was not far from the original path, and there was a place in the middle where the vegetation was especially low, everyone could see the scene where the giant Sea Serpent's corpse had been through the gaps of the vegetation.
"Tsk!"
The players sucked in a breath of cold air. It was just a game, but such a scene was undoubtedly disgusting and shocking.
Even Big Pineapple had goosebumps all over his body even though he did not say anything.
"Virus infection! Those leeches have been infected by the mutated Evolution Virus in the giant Sea Serpent's body. They have the genes of the giant Sea Serpent and have the characteristics of the giant Sea Serpent. "
Only Lin's expression did not change. She raised her black-rimmed glasses and came to a scientific conclusion.
"But it's too fast … Doesn't the virus infection take six hours?"
Feng Luo remembered that when he had been infected by the Evolution Virus, the system had indicated that the infection would only be completed after six hours.
He had to admit that after seeing that the leeches had actually grown some of the characteristics of the giant Sea Serpents, he sincerely prayed in his heart that the unknown potion that Lin had injected into him before was really effective.
"Different species. Leeches are low-level creatures that completely suck blood. After absorbing a large amount of giant Sea Serpent blood, it's very easy for them to fuse with the Evolution Virus. "
Lin was still very calm. She even raised her hand to press the device on her glasses and recorded the scene in front of her.
"Let's hurry up and leave. These leeches look really disgusting!"
White Crescent's face was as pale as a sheet. Feng Luo believed that if she had seen this in real life, she would have been so disgusted that she would have vomited.
In fact, Glazed Ice, who had trypophobia, had already covered her mouth and turned her head to the side after seeing the situation. She did not dare to continue watching.
Even Red Queen, who had always been cold, could not help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
As such, after White Crescent's words, everyone decided to leave immediately. After all, there were still pursuers behind them.
"Wait!"
Feng Luo suddenly thought of something.
