From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 142: Exploring the Tiankeng and Encountering Attacks from the Abyss

After going ten kilometers deep into the fog, the density of the fog continued to increase and visibility dropped below eight meters.

The tracked vehicle drove to a sinkhole.

Guard Wu, who was in charge of terrain perception, held up the map and said to Lu Heng, "Ahead is the Fenglin Tiankeng in the Liuchuan area. It has a diameter of 352 meters and a depth of 377 meters. The internal structure is complex. The fog is too thick to see the situation below. If we want to determine whether there is an abyss rift inside, we may have to go down to explore."

Su Muyu raised his hand and said, "I'll do this, but it will take some time."

"Send the reconnaissance eagle down to investigate, and the rest of you stay on guard. If you've been sitting for too long and want to move around, you can get out of the car and move your legs, but you can't leave the sensor's sight." Lu Heng arranged the team's tasks.

Su Muyu agreed, closed his eyes, and controlled the reconnaissance eagle to fly into the Fenglin Tiankeng to explore and confirm whether there was an abyss fissure in the Tiankeng.

Due to the presence of fog, the vision of the reconnaissance eagle is greatly limited.

Therefore, it is necessary to let the reconnaissance eagle fly to every hole in the cenote to explore and determine whether there are cracks.

The team had been walking for half a day and their legs were numb from sitting.

So, everyone jumped out of the car and stretched their arms and legs.

But they didn't dare to go far and just moved around the tracked vehicle.

Lu Heng walked to the sinkhole, picked up a stone and threw it into the sinkhole.

It took about six or seven seconds before we heard the sound of the stone falling to the ground, and it did not fall to the bottom of the cave. We also heard the slight sound of the stone rolling afterwards.

From the time the stone fell to the ground, it can be seen that this tiankeng is indeed very deep.

It will take some time to complete the investigation.

Lu Heng walked back to the car and sat down next to Su Muyu, giving her a sense of security.

The exploration took about ten minutes.

Su Muyu suddenly said in a hurried tone: "I saw insect eggs! Very big insect eggs!"

When everyone heard her voice, they immediately became alert and gathered back around the tracked vehicle.

"What insect eggs?" Lu Heng asked with a frown.

"It's oval and very big, even bigger than a rugby ball." Su Muyu sounded a little nervous when he saw such large insect eggs under the vision of the reconnaissance eagle.

The insect eggs are bigger than footballs. They can't possibly be from the Blue Planet.

"Are there some irregular lines on it?" Lu Heng asked.

"Yes, the ones stuck on the stone wall. Should I break one and see?" Su Muyu took a deep breath and prepared to break the insect eggs.

"Let's break one and see." Lu Heng nodded in agreement.

Although the goal of entering the fog this time is to find the abyss rift, if you encounter the eggs of abyss creatures, it is best to get rid of them, otherwise it may become a problem later.

Su Muyu controlled the scout eagle to use its claws to break an insect egg. Then her body shook and she said, "Break it open, and something will rush out. It looks similar to the larvae of the Abyss Alien."

"That's the egg of the Abyss Alien. This kind of thing can be oviparous or parasitic." Lu Heng had guessed it before.

Since the Abyss Alien has been discovered in the fog, it is not surprising to see the Abyss Alien's eggs again.

"What should we do now?" Su Muyu asked hurriedly.

"Continue to explore the tiankeng and confirm whether there are deep cracks in the tiankeng. If not, see how many insect eggs there are. If there are too many, burn them all." Lu Heng gave the order.

Su Muyu nodded and continued to control the reconnaissance eagle to explore deeper into the tiankeng.

"How long will it take?" Lu Heng asked about the time.

"Maybe half an hour." Su Muyu had only explored one-third of it. It would take some time to complete the exploration.

at this time.

Guard Wu suddenly warned loudly: "There is something in the fog!"

Everyone became alert and drew their weapons.

Guard Wu immediately climbed onto the car, set up the 20mm machine gun, adjusted the direction, and aimed towards the foggy woods.

However, because the fog was too thick, even with the perception skill, one could only detect something moving in the fog.

Moreover, this thing did not come in a straight line.

So Guard Wu kept adjusting the aiming direction of the machine gun.

The rest of the troops also set up their machine guns and prepared for battle.

In this tense atmosphere, time passed bit by bit.

Guard Wu was slow to open fire, so the others could only wait nervously.

After about half a minute, Guard Wu's breathing calmed down, but he still held the handle of the machine gun.

Since they had been waiting for a long time, Lin Zeyu couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

Guard Wu exhaled and said, "Just now, that thing was in the woods ahead. It swayed a few times. I thought it was going to rush over, but now it's gone again."

Seeing this situation, everyone became even more nervous: "Does this have the ability to become invisible?"

Lu Heng explained: "This is the hunting tactic of the Abyss Alien. It will try many times and then retreat. Repeat this several times, and when the prey becomes inert and its vigilance decreases, it will actually launch an attack. Therefore, we must always be vigilant."

"This is too damn difficult." Lin Zeyu was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out.

If we face the Abyss Alien head-on, even if the Abyss Alien is very powerful, we can accept it.

This kind of invisible torture is the most uncomfortable.

About five minutes passed.

Guard Wu became alert again and turned the muzzle of the machine gun, but still did not fire.

Everyone also stretched their nerves to the limit, preparing for the battle.

However, half a minute later, Guard Wu said helplessly: "Gone again." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even though Lu Heng had reminded them to stay vigilant, when faced with such a situation, even if they knew it in their hearts, their bodies would become slack.

After going back and forth three or four times, everyone was furious, but the thing in the fog just didn't rush up.

Lu Heng reminded: "It should be about the same, hold on."

Chen Zihang also said: "Come on! Shout and wake yourself up!"

"Unity is strength!" Guard Wu took the lead in singing the song, keeping his mind highly focused.

Lu Heng reminded Su Muyu in his ear: "If the fight starts later, fight first."

"Okay." Su Muyu nodded in agreement.

The exploration can continue after the battle, and the key is to fight against the terrifying creatures in the fog.

Everyone is waiting for the lyrics.

At this moment.

Guard Wu became alert again and turned the muzzle of the machine gun.

Moreover, this time he clearly felt that the thing was about to rush up. He was about to open fire when his expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed: "Fight! There are a lot of them, a lot of them!"

He didn't have time to count how many there were, but he just felt that many terrifying creatures were rushing out of the fog.

As he shouted, he opened fire.

The machine gun fired bullets with a bang, and a fire snake sprayed into the misty jungle, making a bang-bang sound, and it was unclear whether it hit the target or not.

Another perceiver also raised his machine gun and fired into the fog.

Lin Zeyu felt a little bit at a loss. He was a psychic with the ability to enhance firearms, but he couldn't see anything in the fog.

Moreover, a sniper rifle only has ten bullets. The key to using a sniper rifle is to hit the target every time you shoot. If you use the sniper rifle as a rifle and shoot randomly, you will run out of bullets after a few shots.

However, the chariot carried other firearms.

He quickly pulled out an assault rifle from his weapons box and started firing in the direction the Perceiver was shooting, not even knowing what he was shooting at.

Su Muyu also immediately opened his eyes, pulled back the reconnaissance eagle, raised the crossbow and fired into the misty jungle.

"Five... No, six, six abyss aliens." She reminded the number while shooting arrows.

When Lu Heng heard this number, he was also shocked.

This number is a bit scary.

Lu Heng shouted hurriedly: "Blow away the fog and open up your vision! Throw the energy bombs together and throw them farther!"

It's not that the fog cannot be dispelled, but even if it is dispelled, it will come back again in a short time.

In addition, high-temperature explosions can temporarily dispel the fog.

The team was equipped with a psychic who could blow away the fog, and he immediately took action to start blowing away the nearby fog.

Lin Zeyu also used source energy blast bombs and threw them in the direction of the perceiver's shooting.

Bang!Bang!bang...

Several consecutive explosions dispersed the fog in a small area.

The visual distance of everyone was increased to twenty meters.

Soon, the first abyss alien rushed out of the fog and revealed its hideous and terrifying appearance at a distance of twenty meters.

Although everyone already knew what was in the fog and had seen the larvae of the abyss alien, they found it disgusting.

However, except Lu Heng, no one here has ever seen the Abyss Alien up close.

When the abyss alien appeared before their eyes, everyone was still horrified. Its hideous appearance and terrifying claws made people's scalps tingle.

This abyss alien is three meters tall, has fangs and sharp teeth, and looks a bit like a mutated velociraptor.

Guard Wu controlled the machine gun and fired at the abyss alien.

The 20mm bullet hit the abyss alien, exploding into pieces of slime.

This machine gun has a firing rate of 450 rounds per minute, and can fire 1 bullets in 7 second.

Dense bullets poured onto the Abyss Alien, smashing its body and making big holes in it.

When the Abyss Alien rushed to within ten meters, it could no longer hold on, fell to the ground, and slid forward.

at the same time.

Another five abyss aliens rushed out of the fog and surrounded them from all directions. The largest one was three meters tall and the smallest was two and a half meters tall.

The machine gun had just knocked down an abyss alien and had no time to turn around and attack other targets.

Lu Heng knew that if these five abyss aliens rushed onto the car, there would definitely be casualties.

There are three perceivers in the team, as well as gunners, psychics, and auxiliary ability users. There are only three real melee ability users.

This means that, except for three people, no one else in the team has the ability to confront the Abyss Alien head-on.

Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate one or two Abyss Aliens as soon as possible to reduce the pressure faced by the team.

Lu Heng raised his hand and pointed at one of the abyss aliens, shouting, "Go!"

The mechanical tiger immediately pounced and attacked one of the abyss aliens.

When the mechanical tiger's four paws are on the ground, its shoulder height is 1.3 meters, but when it stands up, it is more than 3 meters tall.

In addition, its weight is comparable to that of a car, so when it charges forward, its kinetic energy is quite large. With one pounce, it knocks down an abyss alien, and they start to bite each other.

Lu Heng drew out the Aurora Blade, rushed towards the other abyss alien, and directly released the source energy to perform [Rift Slash].
