Chapter 253 Returning From the Dead
Everyone in the "Mountain Antelope Group" was caught off guard by the sudden monster attack. The members of the group pulled the trigger in a panic, and beat the two kobolds, which were condensed into solid bodies from black smoke, into beehives.
The flames flickered in the corridor, and the intensive gunfire lasted for a long time before stopping.
However, the crisis has not been resolved.
Just when everyone watched the kobold lying in a pool of blood and stopped moving, they were about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a few wisps of black smoke overflowed from the cracks in the bricks of the corridor, and then two ferocious dog-headed monsters condensed out without a sound!
Captain Bart turned his head to look, and shouted loudly: "Brother Nicholas, be careful!"
When Ren saw it, everyone's eyes fell on him, just like they looked at Downey just now.
"not good!"
He secretly said that something was wrong, and instantly understood that there was also a monster behind him.
This made him instantly feel as cold as being crawled up by a poisonous snake along his back, his hair stood on end, and a thought flashed through his mind quickly: "Except for the 'sixth sense' of crisis sensing, the 'five senses' didn't feel it at all. I see, such a strong concealment ability"
At this time, Ren also remembered the passage in the rock carving: [The messenger of the god of death 'Osiris' is the guardian of this tomb, and they will drink the blood of the invaders. 】
The more critical the situation, the calmer he was.
Reminiscent of the previous scene where the musket did not hurt, Ren immediately analyzed a conclusion in his mind: "Before sucking blood, it is a pure elemental body, and it does not hurt physically. However... if you want to bite someone, you must condense the entity!"
Thinking of this, his thinking became calmer by three points.
Others may die if they are sucked blood, but he, the "combat doctor", has enough means to save himself!
At this moment, the skin on the neck felt the tingling sensation of being pierced by a hard object. At this moment, he finally sensed the existence of that monster!
Materialized!
"Actually ignoring the fighting spirit of body protection?!"
Ren was surprised in his heart.
He also didn't expect that the monster's teeth could bite through his skin so easily.
His current muscular toughness, and the blessing of his body-protecting grudge, can be said to be a hundred times tougher than Downey who was killed before. Unexpectedly, it is also like a piece of paper, easily bitten by fangs
Apparently, the fangs of the dog-headed monster ignored his own fighting spirit.
Moreover, the weird situation is not over yet!
At the moment when the monster's fangs bit the skin of his neck, Ren just wanted to fight back.
But suddenly, he felt a strong sense of stiffness all over his body, his body seemed to be paralyzed, and even his heartbeat became slow.
"Hey, it's also injected with neuroparalytic toxin? No wonder."
Ren clearly felt the strange sensation in his body, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
He also finally understood why the person who was bitten did not resist at all, and was bitten to death alive.
This paralyzing toxin is so violent that even his awakened [voodoo master], a high-level extraordinary body with super high poison resistance, can feel a strong sense of paralysis, let alone other people?
Ren made a rough estimate, and his current "toxin resistance" is much higher than that of ordinary fifth-order extraordinary.
It also means that almost any extraordinary person who is injected with this toxin will feel a severe sense of paralysis.
Toxins alone can be fatal for low-level supernatural beings (respiratory paralysis leading to death); high-level supernatural beings will immediately fall into a state of rigidity, losing resistance to subsequent blood-sucking.
Moreover, the monster's teeth ignored the fighting spirit of the body, and there was no warning at all.
With all kinds of abilities superimposed together, this "kobold" is a monster that poses the same fatal threat to both low-level and high-level extraordinary!
Ren sighed in his heart: "It's so tricky, no wonder it's called the 'Messenger of Death'."
However, although the feeling of paralysis is strong, but to this extent, it is not enough to completely lose the ability to respond to the ultra-high poison resistance.
The moment the monster condensed into a solid body, everyone thought that Ren would follow in the footsteps of Downey and was bitten to death by the monster.
They didn't see the expected bloody scene, but saw another incredible scene.
The fangs did bite through Ren's skin and injected paralyzing toxin.
But just when the monster was about to swallow Ren's blood, he calmly punched it.
Although the toxin made his movements a little stiff, it was easy to deal with a kobold whose combat strength was only the first level of extraordinary.
"Boom!"
It sounded like a sand sculpture being crushed. Before the kobold had time to suck blood, he was punched in the head by Ren.
The muskets that Captain Bart and the others had just raised froze before they could pull the trigger.
"this"
They were stunned for a moment, and at the same time, a strange thought popped up in their hearts: Why can this Doctor Nicholas kill the monster so easily without being sucked blood? Are the monsters different this time?
But the reality didn't give them time to think, because almost at the same time, another scream came from not far behind.
"ah!"
That was another kobold, and it killed another regiment member!
"Crack", "crack", "crack".
Then, amidst the panic, there was another burst of gunshots, and the fourth kobold was also shot to death.
The crisis is temporarily lifted.
Captain Bart looked at the three dead regiment members, his face became very ugly.
But at the same time, they also cast suspicious and shocked eyes on the safe and sound Ren.
Only then did everyone understand that the four monsters were all the same.
The odd one is this Dr. Nicholas!
Ren knew that everyone had doubts, but he didn't have time to explain.
He looked at the third three corpses, frowned, and walked straight to the last corpse that was "bitten to death" without delay.
"It can still be saved."
He checked a little bit and said something. Then he took out a medicine and injected it into the "corpse", and immediately started to sew up his neck nerves and blood vessels.
While suturing, Ren said, "Ms. Pasha, please help me inject Adams with 1500ml of 'Primary Life Potion'."
"ah?"
Hearing this, Sister Pasha was still a little dazed. Can this degree of injury be saved?
But in an instant, she also understood something, and hurried over: "Okay!"
In order not to expose too much of his healing ability, Ren used sutures to suture the more important blood vessels and nerves, and then sutured the less important epidermal tissues with surgical needles and threads.
On the other hand, Pasha injected life potion into Adams, whose heart seemed to have stopped beating, to replenish the lost body fluids.
Ren was busy rescuing the wounded, while the rest of the "Mountain Antelope Regiment" were on the sidelines, guarding against another monster suddenly appearing somewhere in the darkness.
Although they were sad, they judged from experience that their companion Adams was dead.
A large piece of flesh was bitten off from the neck, and it was impossible to survive this kind of injury.
But at the same time, they were puzzled.
This doctor Nicholas's calm expression and smooth professional suture technique gave people an illusion: he would definitely be able to save Adams.
But at the same time, he was puzzled and surprised.
Isn't a surgeon one of the auxiliary professions with the weakest combat effectiveness?
But why did the three combat superhumans in the regiment die just now, and why did Dr. Nicholas not die?
Not only did he not die, but he also killed the terrifying monster with a single punch. How did he do it?
When Bart saw the medicine that Ryan injected Adams, he seemed to have guessed something, and his expression became a little complicated.
After an antidote was injected, and then assisted by external pressure, Adams' heart that had stopped fluctuating began to beat again.
Sister Pasha felt her pulse, her eyes were filled with disbelief, and she exclaimed, "I've been saved!"
"real?"
"Oh my God, that's great! Adams survived!"
"."
Bart's Combat Department Superman doesn't know much about medicine, and he doesn't understand the delicacy of this operation, which will definitely make any Medical Department Superman dumbfounded.
They only know that their companion survived.
Finally, it is good news.
A voice of Qi Qi Shu Qi was heard in the corridor.
At this time, everyone's eyes once again fell on the doctor who was concentrating on the operation, with deep gratitude and joy in their eyes.
They never expected that a random doctor would have the ability to "return the dead".
But no one dared to disturb Ren, and just watched quietly from the side.
The suturing operation lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the vital signs of Adams, who had half of his neck bitten off, finally stabilized completely.
After Ren finished the last stitch, he also breathed a sigh of relief. This level of surgery is not too much trouble for him now, as long as he doesn't die immediately, he can be saved.
It's a pity that the two who were killed by the "kobold" had been dead for too long and could not be saved.
Adams opened his eyes after another injection of "Awakening Potion".
He looked weakly at the expectant faces staring at him, and was a little dazed: "I am not dead yet?"
Bart looked relieved, "Yes! You can thank Dr. Nicholas. Without his superb medical skills, you would have died a long time ago."
Sister Pasha on the side was the only one present who understood the exquisite operation of Ren just now, and she also said in a complicated tone: "Your injury, even a senior doctor cannot save it. You have to thank Mr. Nicholas."
When Adams heard what his head said, he seemed to understand something.
He immediately turned to look at Ren, and sincerely thanked: "Thank you for your generosity, Dr. Nicholas."
There was a smile on the corner of Ren's eyebrows, and he said indifferently: "It's just a little effort."
The team members were rescued, which is no small favor.
Others can pretend not to know, but Bart, the regiment leader, can't. He recognized the potion that Ryan injected into Adams just now, and said directly: "Mr. Nicholas, may I ask if the potion you injected into Adams just now is [Strong Life-Extending Potion]?"
He no longer called "brother", but used honorifics.
No matter how dull he is, Bart can guess at this moment that this "old man" in front of him is definitely not simple.
Ren didn't care either, and said lightly: "Yes."
Without the life-saving medicine, no matter how good the suture technique is, he will die.
"Ah this."
Hearing this, Bart showed a surprised but shocked expression.
[Powerful life-sustaining potion] A potion costs more than 100,000 lisuo, which is a luxury potion that ordinary hunters dare not enjoy.
In the small wild hunting group, there is no such high-level potion. Generally, mid-level doctors may have one or two for life-saving use, but they will definitely not take them out so easily.
He didn't expect that the doctor in front of him would be used by his ordinary regiment members so easily.
Hearing that, Bart apologized, and said to Ren, "I'm sorry for consuming such a precious medicine of yours. The cost of your consumption of the medicine will be counted on our 'Mountain Antelope Group'"
Before he finished speaking, Ren waved his hand and said, "It's just a potion, don't worry about it so much."
Indeed, that kind of potion is already a huge expense for ordinary hunting groups.
but for him
There is a pile of stock in the package, and this level of medicine can only be regarded as a regular equipment.
Hearing Ryan's casual tone, Bart couldn't say much, and asked politely, "Mr. Nicholas, you used to be a doctor of the senior regiment?"
While packing up the surgical instruments, Ren smiled and said, "Almost."
He also knew that no matter whether he just punched the "Kobold" or saved people was not easy, others would naturally guess that he was not an ordinary doctor.
But it will be a matter of time before it is discovered, and it doesn't matter.
He looked at everyone and stared at him with the eyes of the "big brother". He was also looked at a little weirdly, and explained: "Everyone don't look at me like this. I am interested in this relic, so I followed to see it." Look. Just treat me like an ordinary doctor."
"."
Seeing that Ryan didn't want to reveal his identity, Bart didn't ask any more questions.
After all, whatever the purpose of this "Doctor Nicholas" is, it doesn't matter anymore.
People are willing to take out a potion worth more than 100,000 yuan to save people, what else can they do to a small group like their "Mountain Antelope Group"?
What's more, it seems that with such a powerful "big boss" in the team, their chances of survival are also higher.
General doctor?
Of course it's impossible
For a moment, everyone looked at Ren with deep awe.
The strong will be respected everywhere.
The quiet "provisional team member" next to him suddenly became a hidden boss, and the atmosphere in the team was a little stiff for a while.
Ren heard something at this time, picked up the syringe, and tried to take the paralyzing venom from the poison gland of the dog-headed monster on the ground.
While doing this, he looked at the people in the hunting group who were still at a loss, and said, "I think, everyone, don't just stand still, think about how we should deal with the predicament in front of us now."
Yes, monsters, mazes!
With that said, a huge sense of crisis immediately hit my heart again.
Now people are saved, but who knows if there will be more monsters.
Going deep into the ruins, the staff has been reduced without finding any treasures, which is a bad start.
And, to make matters worse, they now seem to be trapped in a maze.
At this time, Ren looked at the dark part of the tunnel, and added, "I think there may be a lot of dog-headed monsters in this ruins. It's best not to make too much noise."
Seeing these monsters, he now finally understood why the Rosas family members were so "kind" and wanted to recruit so many wild hunters to jointly excavate the ruins.
It turned out that they simply wanted to send people to die.
This kind of kobold can't be killed at all before it turns into an entity and bites people.
And its ability is very deadly, whether it is poison, bite, or blood-sucking, it can easily kill a transcendent.
Even if it is a high-level transcendent, the threat is great.
And with these "dog head monsters" in the underground palace, it is impossible for the nobles and the official hunting group to monopolize the ruins. Because they don't have so many lives to fill this "big hole".
Ren guessed that those noble lords must have also discovered that these kobolds became very fragile after sucking blood and could be easily killed.
In the underground palace, as long as it is not a lone wild hunter, it means that if one person dies, one kobold can be killed.
So, they thought of recruiting idle hunters to kill them.
Tens of thousands of lives are used to make up for it, which is equivalent to losing tens of thousands of kobolds.
It would be better if the monsters could be completely killed. Even if they couldn't be completely killed, at least the threat would plummet.
Moreover, tens of thousands of people rushing into the maze have also triggered those mechanisms and monsters. In this way, those noble gentlemen can avoid 99% of the danger when they come in again.
Ha ha, it's a good calculation.
Tens of thousands of lives, say a pit is a pit
Hunters are not stupid.
Everyone in the "Mountain Antelope Group" said a few words together, and immediately thought of going with Ren.
They also understood that the essence of this collective hunting was to trick them into dying, and each of them became filled with righteous indignation.
"Damn it! We were tricked by those nobles."
"Hehe, we have been counted in from the beginning to the end. No wonder those people want to say that there are mazes and monsters in the ruins before entering the ruins. Said we were blinded by greed."
"Those filthy aristocrats, what a fucking thing! They must know that this monster is so powerful, but they didn't say it earlier. If you want to make it clear that this monster is so powerful, who the hell dare to come in!"
"Those aristocrats, I'm afraid they didn't expect us to get out alive. Any bounties and commissions are deceptive gimmicks. They wish we could consume more monsters for them."
"."
The more the group members talked, the more atmosphere they had, and the more pessimistic they became.
Being trapped in the maze now means that they may be attacked by monsters again at any time.
The face of Bart, the leader, also became very ugly.
If he could withdraw now, he would choose to lead the group members out of the underground palace without hesitation. Because, this kind of monster is no match for their low-level extraordinary abilities!
But in front of him, he also understood that there is no way out now.
This maze made them unable to advance or retreat.
Every step is a step towards death.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Bart's eyes fell on Ren who had been silent all the time, and a flash of hope flashed in his eyes.
He asked, "Mr. Nicholas, do you know what's going on with this monster? Also, you seemed to kill it easily just now?"
In such a dangerous situation now, if only relying on them, the "Mountain Antelope Group" does seem to be doomed.
There was little they could do about the kobold, except to watch it kill its companions.
With a few more waves of monster attacks, they, number ten, will definitely be wiped out.
But now, there is an exception.
This "Doctor Nicholas" killed one of those kobolds all by himself!
This makes people unavoidably hope that he may have some special effect method for killing monsters
When Bart said this, everyone turned their attention to Ren.
"This monster is very tricky, and even a high-level superhuman can't stop it from killing people."
Ren sighed and shook his head, pouring a basin of cold water.
He also guessed the meaning of everyone's hopeful eyes, but the method of killing monsters can only be used by himself.
If not, when Bart and the others heard this, their faces darkened, unable to hide their despair.
At this time, Ren continued to tell the clues he had analyzed, saying: "This kobold should be a monster similar to the condensed 'necromancer', and they will only turn into monsters when they attack. Entity. The teeth ignore the supernatural person's body protection fighting spirit, and will inject a powerful paralyzing toxin at the moment of biting the skin, and quickly suck human blood. This is the most important reason for the fatality. The only weakness. I am afraid it is just that they turn into entities After that, it is easy to be killed."
"Paralyzing toxin?"
It was not surprising to be able to bite through the body's fighting spirit and suck blood, but the "paralyzing toxin" was unexpected.
But after thinking about it, it makes sense, otherwise why the three members who died just now were bitten without any struggle, it turned out to be poison?
However, the problem came again.
Since there is a powerful paralyzing toxin, why does the "Doctor Nicholas" in front of him seem to be unaffected at all?
Not only smashed the monster's head with one punch, but also clearly said "poison aftertaste"?
Although he had doubts in his heart, Bart didn't want to ask too many questions.
Turning their faces, everyone in the "Mountain Antelope Group" set their eyes on Adams who had just been rescued.
The young sorcerer looked confused, he waved his hands, and said falteringly: "I don't know why I was bitten just now, and I lost consciousness."
"."
When Bart heard this, his face twitched.
This is the gap
If someone is bitten, everything will be analyzed; if you are bitten, you will know nothing about it.
But this also shows positively that this mysterious Doctor Nicholas is ridiculously strong.
Bart didn't bother with the monster's question much, anyway, he couldn't beat him if he asked.
He turned to ask: "Mr. Nicholas, what do you think we should do now?"
Ren expressed his guess and said: "If I guess correctly, it is useless for us to go back the same way now. This is a 'moving maze', and some corridors and stone chambers can move and change positions. So, we're stuck in a maze."
When Bart said this, he was startled, but he also showed a hint of bewilderment.
Only this explanation can explain why they encountered several stone chambers that they had passed by just now.
But it also shows that things are getting worse.
He was completely at a loss, but looking at the calm look of "Doctor Nicholas" in front of him again, a look of expectation flashed across Bart's expression, and he asked, "Mr. Nicholas, do you already know how to get out of this maze?"
Ren nodded, but his tone was still serious, and said: "I have some ideas about how to break the maze, but I still need to try it. But now there are monsters everywhere in the maze, wandering around, it is not a good choice .I think we'd better find a place to wait now."
Although he was sure he could handle the kobold. But if the number is too much, it's hard to say.
Moreover, if you really want to try to crack it now, there may be other dangers in this maze.
So, we can only wait.
"wait?"
At this statement, the others were taken aback for a moment, but they understood in an instant.
The best time to try is to wait for other wild hunters to mine for them and kill those monsters.
Although I heard that it is not very kind, but this is currently the only way to protect myself.
Bart looked at the dead body on the first floor, and said with some hesitation: "But... we are waiting here now, so those monsters won't come?"
"No. Of course not here."
Hearing this, Ren shook his head thoughtfully, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there are some stone rooms in this maze that should be 'safe houses'!"
Wanshang owes 1 change, monthly ticket 5; I was planning to resume normal updates in the past two days, but I just received a message from the power bureau, saying that there will be a power outage in an area near my house tomorrow, and it will be out of service from morning to night. If there is a power outage, tomorrow can only guarantee as much as possible Keep updating.
