Hao Ren soon found that his inspector's gun was not suitable for this kind of situation. It was not that it was too weak, but too powerful!
This thing could create a crystal zone with a maximum radius of 10 meters, and it could hit anything in Hao Ren's sight. Using it in a town where the residents had not completely evacuated was very likely to cause accidental injuries. At the same time, the crystal dust produced by the inspector's gun carried a certain amount of radiation, and it was extremely dangerous for untrained people to come into contact with this kind of dust. So, he finally had to put away his gun and use the most primitive way to deal with the tentacles: close combat.
Fortunately, he had the Steel Membrane Shield, so it was not too difficult.
He found a suitable weapon in his Dimensional Pocket. It was an alloy rod with a sharp tip. It was not made by the Empire, but a souvenir he took when he left the Aerymian elves. It was a kind of close combat weapon used by the elven soldiers. He hadn't received any relevant training, but relying on his body that far surpassed that of an ordinary person after strengthening, he could still brandish this two-meter-long alloy spear with great vigor.
The wind whistled in his ears. Hao Ren nimbly dodged a tentacle coming from behind and stabbed the alloy spear in his hand into the middle of the tentacle. A huge force came from his hand, and after sensing the attack, the tentacle frantically tried to throw the attacker off. Hao Ren was thrown into the air by the tentacle. However, in midair, he didn't panic in the slightest, instead turning a small handle at the end of the alloy pike. Then, a blinding white ball of light shot out from the tip of the pike, and the entire tentacle was blasted into two.
"I found that this thing sometimes works better than my professional equipment," Hao Ren said as he landed and looked at the spear with satisfaction. "If I knew this, I would have asked Hilda for more low-power weapons. I need weapons of this level the most now. "
The MDT was floating next to Hao Ren, acting as an intelligent intercepting brick. It casually replied, "This is work experience. Every inspector goes from being a flashy warrior with a divine weapon to a clothes rack full of miscellaneous weapons. Sooner or later, you will find that in the battle of mortal civilization, low-power mortal weapons are much more useful than your divine weapons."
Hao Ren dodged a tentacle. "You should've told me earlier! I only had time to ask Hilda for a stick! "
The attacking methods of these tentacles that attacked from underground were very simple. They seemed to only be able to perform simple physical attacks such as sweeping and piercing. There were no special types that could release mental attacks and nerve agents as they had previously speculated. Hao Ren and the others could still rely on traditional combat techniques to deal with them. Lily waved a pair of Ice Fire Claws and cut off the tentacles that were entangling her like a whirlwind. She jumped to Hao Ren's side and shouted happily, "Hahaha, revenge is coming today! That night, I was scared out of my wits. It turns out that they aren't that powerful after all. "
"Be careful!" Vivian's voice came from the air along with a thunderous roar. The lightning strike formed by the swarm of bats had scorched the tentacles that Lily had cut off but were not completely dead. She had saved the husky's life. "These things are very resilient. They can still be active for more than ten seconds after being cut off."
A scorching whirlwind retreated from the front, and Becky's figure emerged from the whirlwind. Although she was a veteran mercenary, she was still the weakest among them. She was panting. "Why … Why did it appear so early … Didn't they say it would only wake up in two days?"
Hao Ren frowned as he looked at the tentacles that were still piercing out of the ground. "I don't know … Maybe there's a change. MDT, say something. "
The MDT's tone was not nervous at all. "It's normal. I only said that the thing will fully wake up in two days. I didn't say that it can't turn over before it wakes up. What do you guys do before you wake up and open your eyes?"
"I'm used to yawning first!" Lily replied.
There was a loud bang, and another tentacle emerged from the nearby street. The MDT's voice followed. "Yes, it's yawning now!"
Just when Hao Ren wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule the MDT, he suddenly frowned. He felt an abnormal shaking under his feet. It was slightly more subtle than when the tentacles sneaked up on him, but it gave him an extra sense of crisis.
At the critical moment, Hao Ren and Lily reacted at the same time. "Get out of the way!"
Just as the two of them leapt away, another explosion suddenly erupted from the flagstone street. The heavy grayish-white flagstones were easily blown to smithereens like bubbles, and another underground tentacle leapt up from below!
This tentacle was completely different from the previous ones. It had a rougher surface and a strange lavender skin. The purple protrusions at the end of the tentacle had mysterious patterns. Hao Ren only had time to glance at the patterns before he suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness.
Just when everyone thought that it was just an ordinary tentacle, a mutant attacker appeared!
Becky was the closest to the tentacle, and she was also the weakest. She was hit by the mental attack almost without any resistance. Her eyes were dazed for a moment, and she actually retracted the protective magical light around her body and walked towards the tentacle without any precaution!
But at this moment, an ear-piercing sonic boom came from afar. A silver-white glow flashed by, and the tentacle with the ability to attack suddenly froze in mid-air. Then, with a bang, it was swallowed by a silver-white flame and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
"Are you guys okay?" Ophra's voice came from afar. Hao Ren turned his head and saw the valiant female marshal, who never left her armor, appeared at the end of the street with a group of knights. The silver-white sword in her hand shone brightly. Obviously, she was the one who launched the attack just now.
Hao Ren just waved from afar when he saw Ophra's figure suddenly distorted, and then directly teleported to his side without warning!
"Let's talk later." Ophra said after teleporting over. She swung her sword, wrapped in a layer of silver-white holy flame, and rushed towards the tentacles. Wherever the flame passed, only pale white ashes were left. The knights that she brought did not even have time to attack. All the soldiers seemed to be used to standing outside the circle, watching their supreme commander kill in front of them.
Hao Ren and Vivian withdrew from the battle, but at the same time, their eyes narrowed. Vivian saw the silver holy flame wrapped around Ophra, the silver-white sword that was different from the standard knight weapon, and her constantly teleporting figure in the battle. She subconsciously let out a low cry. "This …"
Activating the silver-white holy flame in the battle, using the exorcist sword inscribed with special runes, and almost instinctive teleportation ability … This fighting style was unusually familiar!
"It's the demon hunters!" Nangong Wuyue also withdrew, and when she saw Ophra's fighting posture, she also let out a cry of surprise.
Becky, who was pulled out by Y 'zaks, had just broken free from the mind control. She shook her head and looked at Hao Ren and the rest. "Demon hunters!? The demon hunters from the real world have come here? "
Hao Ren quickly pointed at Ophra and said, "We're talking about her!"
At this moment, Ophra had killed the last few tentacles on the battlefield. Hao Ren and the rest had killed most of these "underground monsters". At this time, after being burned by Ophra's silver flame, they seemed to finally realize that this was not a suitable breakthrough point. After a series of rumbling sounds came from the underground, they quickly left. Ophra put away her sword, and in a flash, she came to Hao Ren's side. "Are you all right? Huh? Why are you looking at me? "
Hao Ren subconsciously said, "Your fighting style is …"
"Oh, I see. It's really not common," Ophra said carelessly as she dusted off her cloak. "It's just the talent of the Ancients. What's wrong? "
Hao Ren was shocked: the Ancients in the Plane of Dreams … were the demon hunters in the real world?
But they had no intention of attacking the otherworldlings! Ophra also had no hostility towards Lily and Vivian!
What happened on Earth back then?
But he did not have the opportunity to ask in detail because soon, there were monster warnings everywhere in the town!
