Tokyo underground city

Chapter 113 Ambush

Just when Lin Huai'en was confused about where to go with his rainbow skills, there was sudden movement from the front.

A thin swordsman police officer knelt on one knee with his eyes closed, as if listening to something, and waved his hand to stop the others.

"What's wrong, Zhang Quan, what's going on?"

Officer Shao lowered his voice subconsciously.

Lin Huai'en was a little curious as he looked at the other person closing his eyes and concentrating.

He remembered that this was the same person before. He discovered the situation ahead without leaving the team.

How on earth did he do it? Is it listening? Or perspective?

Just when Lin Huai'en was guessing Zhang Quan's skills, he was suddenly surprised to see an almost transparent, ghost-like soft-bodied creature suddenly appear on the ground in front of Zhang Quan.

This illusive ghost slime has twisted eyes and mouth, and looks like some kind of exaggerated ceramic craft.

Zhang Quan leaned next to the ghost slime and listened for a while before raising his head.

"There is an ambush ahead." The thin and thin swordsman police officer said concisely: "Xiao Ai only knows two of them, and has never seen the others."

"How many types are there specifically?" Officer Shao asked solemnly.

"Three types." Zhang Quan nodded and replied, "One of them is more numerous; and there are two types that Xiao Ai has never seen before - but these two types feel very close to her, but There are still some differences in the subtle ways.”

"The more numerous ones should be the long-headed spray ants. In addition, there are two new species of cicada-eating ants whose situation is unknown..."

"Okay, I understand." Officer Shao thought for a moment, nodded, and issued the order:

"Advance the defensive formation, both teams in front!"

"Lin Huaien, Yuan Xiaole, come to the back line with me!"

"Okay." Lin Huaien nodded.

.

The so-called defensive formation advancement is a bit like the three-by-three system in Anti-Japanese War movies.

The two teams of police officers opened a distance of more than ten meters to the left and right sides and stood at the front of the tree cave.

Officer Shao and Lin Huai'en were standing five or six meters behind, at the back end of the inverted triangle.

If a monster wants to break through from the center, it will be flanked by shooters on the left and right sides. You can quickly teach them what "crossfire" means.

If that doesn't work in the end, there's still Officer Shao and the steel spear in his hand.

He should not hesitate to give the enemy a "Tian Xing Jian".

After changing their formation, the team continued to move forward and soon arrived at the ambush point mentioned by Officer Zhang Quan.

This is a cave with three forks. In addition to the way Lin Huaien and the others came, there are also two forks.

The two ambush teams of cicada-eating ants each stayed 50 meters away from the fork in the road.

"I guess it's almost done." Lin Huai'en heard Officer Shao behind him communicating quietly with Adjutant Lu as he advanced: "If there is really a new species of cicada-eating ants with command capabilities, after I destroy a large ant nest, It’s time to sit still.”

But before she could speak, gunfire suddenly came from behind the team.

The two police officers who were on the same team as Lin Huai'en and had been monitoring the rear suddenly reported nervously and loudly——

"Watch your back! There are a lot of cicada-eating ants approaching!"

.

Lin Huaien turned around.

But they only saw a tidal wave of cicada-eating ant troops.

"Damn! We thought the ambush was in front, but it turned out to be a surprise attack?!" Officer Shao turned around and saw the dense army of cicada-eating ants that almost blocked the tunnel.

This tidal army of cicada-eating ants is almost as good as the scene when monsters surge in!

"Get out of the way! I'll deal with them!"

Officer Shao raised the steel spear and was about to release his skill, but he was stopped by Lieutenant Lu beside him.

Lieutenant Lu pulled Officer Shao's body hard and said loudly: "No! Captain Shao, your physical strength is limited, you can't use skills every time!!"

"What we have to do now is to rush to the front as quickly as possible and break through their blockade! As long as we use the Haoran Fire to ignite the front, their pursuit troops in the rear will not be able to get through either!"

Officer Shao was stunned for a moment and made a decision immediately.

He put down the steel spear in his hand and ordered loudly: "Heizi, go intercept them! Buy us some time!"

"Copy that!" A police officer with C4 explosives hanging on his waist that Lin Huai'en had noticed before quickly responded.

The police officer stopped moving forward, put away the sword in his hand, pulled out the detonator from his waist bag, and walked to the rear without hesitation.

Before Lin Huai'en could see what he wanted to do, he was already urged by Adjutant Lu and started running.

The entire team sped up.

About ten seconds later, a huge explosion suddenly came from behind Lin Huaien.

The huge sound pushed him forward quickly, and his ears became "buzzing".

Officer Shao glanced at something similar to a watch on his wrist and said expressionlessly:

"Heizi's pass has been activated, let's hurry up." Lin Huai'en didn't know how Heizi died, but he could understand it if he thought about it.

With the mobility of the cicada-eating ants, it takes about twenty-five seconds to catch up with them.

And in such a short period of time, it is almost impossible to deploy explosives that are enough to intercept the cicada-eating ant army.

In such a short period of time, even if the police officer named Heizi was able to arrange the explosives, he would not be able to survive the explosives he detonated.

This was the first time someone in the team died, and the air suddenly became stagnant.

Lin Huai'en was about to speak to lighten the atmosphere, but he was interrupted by Adjutant Lu——

"150 meters ahead! Found the cicada-eating ant interception force! They rushed out from the fork in the road!"

Lin Huaien subconsciously slowed down his pace.

In front of them, about a hundred cicada-eating ants emerged.

Lin Huai'en frowned and observed the troops in front of him:

"Large soldier ants, armored soldier ants, long-headed glue-spraying ants, no self-destructing ants and fire-breathing ants..."

"Besides..." He also saw two giant black ants in the team that were over two and a half meters tall, with long wings and large sickle front legs.

"This should be the new cicada-eating ant that Leonardo said can use skills..."

Lin Huai'en thought in his heart.

.

"It's a male ant!"

Yuan Xiaole shouted almost the moment he saw the two giant cicada-eating ants.

"In an ant colony, only male ants and female ants can grow wings!"

"Is it difficult to deal with?" Officer Shao asked.

Yuan Xiaole shook his head, not sure: "I don't know either. The male and female ants in the surface world are almost not responsible for fighting, but I don't know about the monsters in the dungeon - look at the two giant scythes in front of them, I think It’s not like he’s not preparing for close combat.”

Officer Shao nodded, frowned, and saw the situation clearly:

"It seems they are well prepared."

"There are not many monsters, so using [Qian] doesn't make much sense."

"With the absence of self-destructing ants and fire-breathing ants, the formation will not be affected by these two monsters——"

"This is a head-on confrontation!"

Officer Shao came to a conclusion.

The two teams heading towards each other came within firing distance in just a few breaths.

The long-headed glue-spraying ants were the first to be killed.

Lin Huai'en thought they were dying at first, but after the long-headed glue-spraying ants in the colony were almost dead, he noticed that the glue formed by the long-headed glue-spraying ants when they died formed a line about four to five meters wide. No matter where Lin Huaien and the others advance, they will step on this blockade.

As for Officer Shao and the others, before they had time to notice this, they had already collided with the ant colony!

As always, close combat.

But it shows an almost one-sided trend!

Without the interference of self-destructing ants and fire-breathing ants, the ant colony composed of large soldier ants and armored soldier ants came over like a city wall, knocking down most of the police officers with almost brute force!

Nearly half of the police officers were rushed to the ground. At the critical moment, Lieutenant Lu's voice echoed on the battlefield——

"Long shot! Fire!"

In an instant, there was a loud burst of gunfire, and the cicada-eating ants that rushed towards the fallen police officer were blasted one after another.

However, the two male ants at the back of the ant colony jumped up almost as soon as the gunshots were fired, and while the shooters were pointing their guns at the front line, they pounced on Officer Shao and others behind them!

"Captain Shao! Be careful!"

Lin Huai'en heard what Adjutant Lu was shouting.

But he couldn't care anymore.

Because one of the two cicada-eating ants that rushed towards Officer Shao rushed towards him!

The sword skills are not activated!

Lin Huai'en's body was extremely heavy. He wanted to escape, but he did not forget that Officer Shao was behind him.

And his duty is to protect the soul of this team!

He felt the air was stagnant.

His cheeks tightened, his field of vision narrowed, and the gray fury in his hand naturally aimed at the chest of the male ant from bottom to top.

However, he suddenly saw a faint red light shining on the two pairs of sickles of the male ant.

He recalled Leonardo's voice in his mind -

"...these two pairs of scythes, as they struck me, also emitted...the unique heavy-hit fluorescence!"

Lin Huai'en suddenly stepped out to the left, and the male ant's knife grazed his body and penetrated deep into the ground.

His right shoulder was torn open by the strong wind caused by the skill, and the gray-blue fury pierced the male ant's chest the moment it passed by!

The male ant felt pain, shook its body, and flew into the sky.

On the other side, a large white flame lit up behind Lin Huai'en.

The male ant that pounced on Officer Shao, his body burning with white flames, also rose into the air and pounced on the fork in the road they came from.

"escaped?!"

Lin Huai'en was startled, but before he could think more, Officer Shao had already urged him and ran past him——

"Quickly! Kuroko's blasts can't stop them for long!"

.

After walking through four or five small ant nests in a row, Lin Huaien and the others stopped.

There is a goddess sanctuary here.

After running all the way, everyone's physical strength was almost exhausted. Except for the police officer named Zhang Quan, who was still releasing ghost slimes to investigate the situation, everyone else was more or less paralyzed on the ground.

Even Adjutant Lu, who was very image-conscious, was leaning against the wall of the tree cave, propping up his knees, lowering his head and panting slightly.

"Really... I didn't expect that there really are command-type cicada-eating ants that can use dungeon skills..."

Officer Shao looked at the direction from behind and said in disbelief.

But Yuan Xiaole, who was also out of breath, also shook his head in disbelief——

"Impossible! According to the records of the United Nations, there has never been a dungeon monster that can use explorer skills!"

"I think there must be another reason, we just don't know it!"

Lin Huai'en didn't pay attention to Yuan Xiaole's voice.

He just looked at the front end of his sword, a little dazed.

There is a slight scarlet color there.
