Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Chapter 174 New Discovery

After a while, according to Heidi's guidance, Han Zu came to the space where the soldiers had died before. The bodies of the soldiers had long been corroded by the accumulated water, leaving only their weapons and auxiliary armor.

After obtaining Han Zu's permission, Heidi observed a minute of silence for them, and then, with Han Zu's help, she quickly collected the nameplates of the soldiers, took their remaining usable weapons and auxiliary armor, and left.

He first returned to the exploration team's camp and handed the nameplate to the person in charge for safekeeping, then distributed the remaining weapons and auxiliary armor to other researchers. Although they were not fully armed, at least they had some self-protection capabilities, allowing the soldiers to do more important things, such as patrolling and building fortifications.

After explaining everything, Han Zu turned around and jumped into the pool again. When he reached the bottom, he remembered that there was still a person inside his body that he hadn't put back. However, it seemed that Heidi had forgotten about this as well and continued to guide Han Zu to the area where the monsters were spawning.

"The eggs of these monsters are very strange. They have some bone spikes as thick as thumbs growing on them. They should be used to fix them to the bottom of the water and prevent them from floating up."

Using the observation device on the helmet, Heidi scanned the eggs of these monsters and found some interesting things. These eggs not only had bone spurs on the shell, but the shells were also very thick and rough. Han Zu reached out and touched the eggshells, which felt a bit like crocodile skin, except that the eggshells were all black. They were also very large, about the size of a basketball.

Some tentacles grew out of Han Zu's waist, and he was ready to take the two monster eggs and return to the exploration team's camp. However, before the tentacles could be extended, Han Zu detected through his perception ability that there were many monsters hiding nearby using some kind of mimicry ability, ready to attack at any time.

"Wait! There are many monsters around here, don't rush to act!"

At the same time, Heidi also discovered traces of monsters around, which made Han Zu feel a little curious, because Han Zu had seen this kind of auxiliary armor worn by Heidi before on the secret island owned by the chairman. Their capabilities were not very powerful, and the detection instruments inside these auxiliary armors were difficult to detect camouflage with mimicry capabilities. After all, they were auxiliary armors. So since Heidi could detect the existence of monsters around her, she must have some extraordinary qualities.

Suddenly, Han Zu's perception ability discovered something unusual. He could sense that there was an energy of a specific frequency spreading from his body to the surroundings. The force of this energy was so small that it was negligible, because Han Zu, who was remaining still in the water at this moment, had no movement of water around his body.

Han Zu was certain that he was completely unfamiliar with this kind of energy, so it was not caused by himself. The electromagnetic signals generated by the operation of the auxiliary armor were simply too crude in Han Zu's perception, so this energy must have come from Heidi herself.

"I think we should give up on retrieving the eggs of these monsters. These monsters are not easy to deal with."

"laugh...."

Heidi noticed that the surrounding water suddenly fluctuated a few times. She immediately thought of Han Zu's ability to launch biological rockets from his shoulders, and immediately stopped Han Zu's actions.

"This location is right at the bottom of the exploration team's camp. Let's not talk about whether these eggs will be destroyed. If we attack rashly, it is very likely to destroy this already unstable building and cause it to collapse again. Then our people will be in danger!"

However, Han Zu's actions did not seem to be using rockets. Heidi could see through his helmet that many tentacles covered his helmet, and their material hardened rapidly. By observing Han Zu's arms on both sides, Heidi discovered that those tentacles should have completely covered Han Zu's skin, just like a hardened shell.

Some tentacles still stretched out towards the monsters' eggs. This time, the monsters hiding nearby using their mimicry abilities finally couldn't help it and launched a fierce attack on Han Zu.

Heidi observed through the gaps in the helmets covered by hardened tentacles that the monsters moved several times faster underwater than on land, and during this period, their camouflage ability was not affected at all by the intense movements.

And when those monsters approached Han Zu, the tentacles that had turned into armor on Han Zu's body immediately stretched out again, hardened a second time, and grew arrow-shaped barbs on the tips. Those tentacles were like dozens of harpoons connected to solid iron chains, and they penetrated the bodies of those monsters in an instant. As the tentacles were retracted, those monsters had no resistance and were torn into pieces in an instant.

Those monsters were very special. Their blood, or perhaps body fluids, were completely transparent. If Heidi didn't have the help of the observer on the helmet, she wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between the monster's blood and water.

The transparent blood of these monsters, in addition to being extremely corrosive like the heavy rain outside, also seemed to contain some kind of radioactive substance, and the sentinel system on Heidi's auxiliary armor was also greatly disturbed.

After the first few monsters were killed instantly, the remaining monsters immediately changed their tactics. They consciously distanced themselves from Han Zu, and their mouths suddenly began to move.

Suddenly, the water flow changed dramatically. Han Zu, through his enhanced vision, discovered that these monsters were like the gunner shrimps. They could spray out high-pressure water jets from their mouths underwater. These water jets were not only corrosive but also radioactive due to their unknown operations.

Han Zu instinctively used his tentacles to harden into armor again, directly blocking the attack. Although the corrosiveness had no effect on Han Zu, the strange radioactivity temporarily prevented the tentacles from hardening, allowing the tentacles that formed the shield to temporarily return to their original state. Han Zu could feel that the positions that were hit were paralyzed for a period of time and could not be controlled temporarily.

There were quite a lot of monsters, and Han Zu, who had few means of long-range attack except biological rockets, had no effective countermeasures for the time being. As the number of hits increased, most of Han Zu's body was temporarily paralyzed, and he was unable to launch a normal counterattack.

Unlike Heidi, who was feeling a little anxious because of the disadvantage she was experiencing, Han Zu didn't care about this at all, because his body was rapidly adapting to this strange radioactivity. In just a few minutes, the attacks of these monsters would no longer have any effect on Han Zu.

And even if the monsters successfully surrounded Han Zu before that, he would not suffer any harm at all due to his abnormal physical fitness.

The surrounding monsters surrounded him, opened their mouths wide and began to bite Han Zu's body, and just when Heidi in Han Zu's body felt that something was wrong, the safety assessment system of the auxiliary armor suddenly sounded an alarm.

"Warning! Warning! The temperature has been detected to be rising rapidly, which may exceed the tolerance range of the auxiliary armor. It is recommended to leave the current environment."

A large number of bubbles suddenly began to emerge from the surrounding water, and the temperature was rising rapidly visibly. Heidi observed that a monster that had bitten Han Zu's arm had its upper and lower jaws pierced by Han Zu's barbed tentacles and was unable to escape Han Zu's control. At the same time, those tentacles began to glow due to the rapid rise in temperature, and the surrounding water began to boil, producing a large number of bubbles.

However, these monsters seemed to be particularly sensitive to temperature. Heidi discovered through the observation device on the helmet that when the surrounding temperature reached 150 degrees, the monsters were cooked, and their dead bodies floated upwards with their bellies facing up.

The monsters left in the hatching pool were cleaned up, and Han Zu successfully recovered several monster eggs and returned to the exploration team's camp. He handed the monster eggs to the exploration team for care, and this time he released Heidi and prepared to dive again to find a usable chain.

"We found a giant sealed gate below. Maybe we can find something useful inside."

A soldier told Han Zu the news, and after getting the location information, Han Zu jumped into the water again.
