Chapter 125: Using Luke to Make a Nest Can Harvest Many Enemies

Level 3-1, Street.

After passing the wreckage of the killer tank, Luke and his friends came to a street scene with a large range of movement and almost no edge restrictions.

But precisely because the scene is too open, even for someone like Luke who has played through the level countless times, it is quite torturous to recognize the scene of 2D to 3D at the first time.

Fortunately, the existence of the fourth level scene "Sky Fortress" hanging in the east like a sky-blocking sun, and the fifth level scene "Big Fortress" with the appearance of a cluster of high-rise buildings in the same direction, can be regarded as a disguised way to provide a general direction.

Of course, there is also a very important direction-guiding "road sign".

That is the Red Shadow Prop Box encountered on the road.

The Red Shadow Prop Box will only appear on the road leading to the right direction, which is more of a road sign than any road sign.

Because it is an open and free scene, the number of Cybermen who can fly half of their bodies and snipers with energy shields has increased significantly. Inside the windows of the buildings and on the roofs, there are all guns and cannons.

These guns and cannons were no longer just for show as in the game. Luke and his friends began to experience the same level of barrage coverage as in Contra.

This made Luke, who had no intention of using the bamboo dragonfly because he had to collect props along the way, feel a little annoyed while feeling lucky. It would be difficult to rush all the way like in the first two levels.

However, Luke soon had a new change. He completely gave up the attack staff and turned to a full defense mode with the head of the anticorrosion in his right hand and a round shield in his left hand.

Yes, that's right. Luke had left Xigang's guard in the private storage room that Sanmu had set up for him in the company and replaced it with an excellent round shield.

Although Luke could indeed ignore the rigid conditions for using Xigang's guard with his barbarian instinct, his strength was not up to standard, and it was always difficult to use the tower shield. It would be better to directly replace it with a light, durable round shield that could run and jump.

It can only be said that there is a reason why the incomplete and overly demanding Sigang Guardian is disliked...

Luke, who changed to an excellent round shield, also revealed other parts of the inventory, such as armor, gloves, and helmets, and at the same time, a layer of constantly rotating bone shield was put around his body.

There are also clay golems that can be used as human shields constantly wandering around, interfering with the enemy's shooting choices.

It can be said that Luke has maximized all the defensive means that can be maximized at this stage at the cost of giving up the means of attack.

As for the offensive ability he gave up, it is now all on Viper.

As an employer, he uses his body to attract the enemy's attention, but Viper, as a guard, is mainly responsible for wandering around in stealth, waiting for an opportunity to kill the enemy.

Viper's optical camouflage actually uses the same energy bar as the shoulder gun, but the energy consumption in the optical camouflage state is extremely slow, and the longest stealth time can be up to 60 seconds. Moreover, when the energy is exhausted, it only makes the figure appear. After waiting for more than 6 seconds for the energy to be automatically restored, he can enter stealth again.

The reason why the use conditions are so wide is that optical camouflage is not a real stealth, but a simple visual distortion and cover. When moving, a flowing outline will actually appear in the air, and the heat on the body will not be hidden, and will be directly restrained by various thermal sensing abilities.

However, there is another disadvantage in the stealth state, that is, the shoulder gun cannot be used, or his energy storage module is not advanced enough to support both at the same time. If you want to shoot, you must cancel the stealth in advance.

Viper, who is already familiar with his employer's devilish nature and knows that the number of medicines he carries has increased by 20 times, can be said to have accepted the proposal very straightforwardly, and this method of one person attracting the attention of others to assassinate is also a more typical wolf hunting method.

So even though Luke's advancing tactics seemed cautious, the actual advancing efficiency was not much slower than rushing together.

The enemies encountered along the way were basically killed by Viper's wave cannon because they only paid attention to Luke as the action target. Only a few could rush to Luke, and then were beaten to death by Luke's round shield and the big fist of the clay golem...

Luke, this thin dog barbarian, looked like a necromancer and a paladin, but he didn't look like a real barbarian. If the giant blacksmith saw this, he would definitely be furious.

However, just when Luke and his team had safely advanced to the ruined building area directly below the aerial fortress, Viper's wave cannon suffered its first defeat.

His wave cannon, which was enough to penetrate the wall, was dodged by a blue figure rushing from behind, and even the corner of his clothes was not touched.

But at this time, the blue figure and Luke, who noticed the situation behind, shouted at almost the same time.

"Wait a minute!"*2

The roar of the blue figure certainly wouldn't affect Viper, but Luke also called for a stop, which meant that the situation was a bit special.

But after Viper stopped charging the artillery, it still chose to enter the optical camouflage state, locking the blue figure with infrared scanning, but the muzzle was still in the aiming state.

This caused the blue figure to always feel a threat that made his scalp numb, and felt that if he didn't move carefully, the miserable situation of the Garuda soldiers he met on the road might be his final fate.

The person who came was naturally the real protagonist of the current scene, the elder brother among the Red Shadow Warriors - Hayate.

His sister Feng, like Viper, was lurking in the shadows, holding the ninja sickle tightly in both hands, ready to support her brother at any time.

There is always a gap between imagination and reality, but after seeing all kinds of corpses along the way, especially the huge wreckage of the killer tank, the brother and sister have a deeper understanding of the strength of Luke and others.

It was actually their own problem to contact and be attacked rashly. The other party who didn't know the existence of their brothers and sisters was not wrong. As long as they can confirm that they are the objects with which they can communicate normally, then this battle should not be necessary.

"Hayate, the red shadow warrior who is the enemy of the entire Garuda Empire."

Hayate, who stared at Luke for a while, spoke first.

"Luke, an outsider who wants to borrow Garuda's head."

Looking at the other party standing straight with his hands on his chest in the standard ninja standing posture, Luke, who was a little bit of a middle school student, gave such an answer.

But in Hayate's ears, this is the sound of nature. To put it bluntly, anyone who has a grudge against Emperor Garuda is his friend.

Because in the original setting of the game, the reason why the two siblings rushed into the depths of Garuda's lair to kill him was because the evil and inconsiderate Garuda killed their relatives.

This reason is much more sufficient than simply resisting evil forces.

After confirming each other's identities, Viper and Feng emerged from the shadows at the call of their respective companions.

However, compared with the Red Shadow Warriors, whose ideas were simpler and more direct, Luke obviously had to brainstorm more at this time.

He suddenly understood why he met the Red Shadow Item Box again on the road. It turned out that the real protagonist had appeared...

But soon new questions lingered in Luke's mind again.

Are the Red Shadow Warriors, who are the protagonists of the original work, just a special event that only occurs in this challenge mission, or a common event that may occur in all monster nests in the future?
