Fantasy Game: Infinite City

A few hundred meters away from where the two hunters died, there was a branch of the underground sewer of the shelved city of Haigo leading to the city center.

The team left their original position in time to avoid being chased by the hunters again. They had no choice but to follow the direction the hunters left. They couldn't move too slowly, otherwise they might be caught up by the hunters who entered the waterway behind them. They also couldn't move too fast, otherwise they might run into the hunters they mentioned. From their reactions, it can be judged that they didn't want to face the hunter more than those hunters who looked more like monsters.

Using the propulsion device on the armor, they reached the maintenance channel in the upper half of the waterway, which was covered in shadows and was a good place to hide. Thanks to the advanced armor with super high technical capabilities, even though their speed was not slow, they did not make any sound in the maintenance channel made of rusted metal.

"Extremely strong energy response detected, identifying the unit..."

"Multiple hunter creatures detected."

"Extremely high concentrations of residual Element 12 energy have been detected."

"An abnormal branch device has been detected."

"Warning, a hunter unit suspected of attacking behavior has been detected, and the threat level is being assessed..."

"Assessment completed, possible threat level: fatal. Recommend immediate avoidance, re-planning the route..."

As they continued to move forward quickly along the maintenance channel, the equipment on the team's armor suddenly kept popping up multiple prompts. The two people who were running in front of the team, who should be the team's breakthrough experts, immediately stopped moving and made tactical gestures to the other team members behind them to stop moving and stay hidden. Just as the entire team stopped moving and began to hide in the shadows around them, they heard a familiar energy humming sound coming from under the maintenance channel fence, not far from the waterway, and the calls of some hunter creatures.

Now the city is full of hunter creatures and other things that are more difficult to deal with. If they want to get to another outpost in the city center, the waterway they were traveling on is undoubtedly the safest and fastest way. The hunters who have been chasing them in front are certainly difficult to deal with, but compared to the overwhelming monsters outside the waterway and in the city, it is more reliable to find a way to avoid the hunters than to risk passing through the monsters.

"Xin, what do we do now?"

"Let's follow him and see if he can find us. If he can find us, we should immediately activate the plane shifting device. He didn't find us just now, which means he hasn't evolved the ability to lock onto a plane. He should be a raiding hunter. He doesn't have that many information methods."

For some unknown reason, this team, which had almost the highest level of technical equipment, seemed to be extremely cautious about the hunters they mentioned. They sneaked towards the direction of the sound. At a corner of the maintenance passage, through the metal wall of the temporary lounge that was mostly damaged, they saw several hunter creatures fighting below, and the hunter who was fighting with them.

Among the several hunter creatures below, two of them were completely different from the one they had fought before. They were more like some kind of armadillo-like creatures that were three or four meters tall. Similar to armadillos, these creatures could also shrink their bodies into a sphere, but this sphere was covered with bony protrusions that were retractable like triangular prisms. There were a large number of them, and they covered the entire body with sharp bone spurs.

"Buzz!! Boom~~~"

These two special hunter creatures, like two death balls, moved quickly on the curved walls of the underground waterway to the battle location, leaving huge spike marks wherever they went, just like two meat grinder rollers flying out of a machine, carrying out targeted destruction, attacking everything indiscriminately, including those other hunter creatures who should be in the same group with them. However, those hunter creatures can use flight to avoid their attacks in time, so it is not a big problem.

As for the other hunter creatures, although they looked the same as the two creatures the team had fought before, they were smaller in size and faster in speed. When they shuttled across the battlefield and launched raids, it was difficult even with the naked eye to accurately capture their positions, and only some afterimages could be seen.

Based on the scanning and detection of the equipment on their bodies, the team learned that the location where the battle took place below was full of intertwined chaotic energies, gravitational traps and freezing breath from ordinary hunter creatures, strong radiation from heavy hunter creatures that constantly impacted the battlefield and rolled around, high-energy rays released by the hunter who could actually deal with all these hunter creatures at the same time, and strong energy reactions released by the 12 elements in his body after being subjected to energy shocks.

As the battle progressed, the concentration of energy continued to increase, and one could even occasionally see fleeting high-concentration energy particles with the naked eye. It was no exaggeration to say that no one on the scene would be stupid enough to approach the battle site at this time. After all, they could see very clearly that some of the walls around them had begun to disintegrate due to energy erosion.

"The hunter seems to be at a disadvantage. Look, those extremely fast ordinary leather armors seem to have interrupted his fighting rhythm."

"I didn't expect that in addition to Ge?3?9, we could see two stranglers this time. If we can go back this time, I have to talk to the others on the spaceship about this matter."

"I think you shouldn't say such unlucky words at this time..."

"Quiet! The battle situation below seems to be changing."

Hai, who was wearing the heaviest armor in the team, interrupted the communication between other team members and pointed to the center of the battle below. It can be seen that the hunter creatures seemed to have suppressed the hunter, putting him at a disadvantage. All this was caused by a wrong attack judgment made by the hunter more than ten seconds ago.

Ten seconds ago, multiple Ge?3?9 gathered at the same location and used freezing breath to attack the hunter's legs at the same time, greatly slowing down his movement speed and causing him to be hit twice by the flying strangler worms. Fortunately, the hunter broke the frost that froze him to the ground in time and avoided the frontal impact of the strangler worms. He was only scratched, but this also caused many unbearable open wounds on his body where he was scratched. However, these injuries were completely recovered immediately, but those Ge?3?9 continued to release freezing breath towards the hunter while constantly changing positions, trying to continue to restrict the hunter's movements.

It was at this time that the hunter made the wrong attack choice. He found an opportunity to jump high, wanting to kill a Gekko, in order to reduce the range affected by the freezing breath. However, he did not have the ability to fly, and his speed was not fast enough, so the Gekko that he targeted quickly circled behind him. After the hunter landed, the Gekko immediately closed the distance and released a special biological force field similar to a gravity trap, sucking the hunter firmly to the ground in a half-kneeling position. Although it did not completely restrict the hunter's ability to move, it did make him unable to move.

"These leather bugs seem very smart. They must have understood that if they want to cause significant damage to the hunter, they can only rely on those two stranglers."

"These hunter creatures are also very cooperative. When the strangler worm attacks, it has no vision and can only rely on sensing the movement of creatures and energy dissipation to confirm the target. If the speed is fast enough, the strangler worm does not have much advantage, but the freezing breath of these grebes makes up for this. The hunter should have also discovered this, so he tried to reduce the number of grebes to weaken the impact of the freezing breath, but the grebes dodged the attack and were instead pressed to the ground by the special force field of the grebes. It seems that this hunter is going to drink a pot."

"I don't think so. He was a hunter, a strong male hunter at that."

"But he is a surprise attack hunter after all. Facing the full force of the strangler worm, he may not be able to withstand it..."

The members of the team were not optimistic about the battle situation, but Hai, who was wearing the heaviest armor in the team, kept frowning. When the others saw that Hai was silent, they all seemed to remember something.

"Hai, what did you notice this time?"

"I... sensed the outcome of this battle. The hunter below will win a great victory."

Hai has a special ability that he is born with. When he is highly focused on an event that can affect him, some unstable memories will gradually form in his mind. These unstable memories can be regarded as a kind of highly accurate inference result calculated by the brain itself, but it is only a simple rough estimate, not detailed, and can even be said to be rough. However, at certain times, the prediction speed of this ability is even much faster than their computing equipment. The team also relies on Hai's special ability to continuously make correct judgments, and successfully complete many impossible tasks and survive from impossible situations.

The members of the team all have great trust in Hai's special predictive ability. Coupled with their inexplicably firm "stereotypes" about this special type of life form called hunters, they have no doubt about the direction of the battle below. They believe that the hunter can survive the siege of the hunter creatures and even turn defeat into victory.

However, based on the current situation, even Hai himself found it hard to believe that they had won a complete victory. But as they continued to observe the battle, their trust gradually deepened.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM~~~!!!!”

As the hunter was sucked to the ground by the special force field released by the monsters, the two stranglers adjusted their angles and rushed towards the hunter at full speed. It can be seen that the hunter tried to use high-energy rays to stop the stranglers' impact, but the energy storage was interrupted by the impact and freezing breath of the monsters. The high-energy rays that had not been stored could not penetrate the stranglers' solid bone shell, so soon, the first strangler's body hit the hunter's body head-on.

The high-speed spinning strangler beetle, with its bone spurs on its body, was destroying the hunter's body like a meat grinder. The hunter raised his hands at the same time, hugged the high-speed spinning strangler beetle's body, trying to weaken its kinetic energy and stop it. It must be said that the hunter's body strength was also terrifyingly strong. Even with such a strong attack, it was only slowly destroying the hunter's skin layer by layer, and did not grind him into pieces.

"Boom~~!!!"

But the second strangler suddenly changed its direction of rotation, and connected with the first strangler that had contacted the hunter like a gear set, rotating in the opposite direction at the same frequency, once again increasing the attack power and rotation speed of the first strangler. This blow was undoubtedly huge for the hunter, not only speeding up the area and speed of the hunter's body being destroyed, but also the strong kinetic energy pushed the hunter's body back more than ten meters. The powerful propulsion caused the hunter's knees, which were half-kneeling on the ground, and the other leg that was trying to stabilize his body to draw two deep grooves on the ground.

"Warning, abnormal energy concentration is increasing at an abnormal rate, it is recommended to avoid, current area: safe"

At the same time as the team's equipment sent out a warning, the team members also witnessed a jaw-dropping scene: the hunter who was pushed out more than ten meters, with almost 30% of his torso and face worn away, and half of his arms almost worn away, were lit up with scarlet energy light, giving the originally dim waterway a strange color.

It can be seen that the hunter must have been completely enraged, with his eyes wide open and a ferocious expression. Some steam formed by the high temperature appeared from his open mouth. At this time, it can be seen that the hunter's strength seemed to have risen to a higher level. Instead of loosening his arms, his two arms tightly clamped the shell of the first strangler beetle. The strangler beetle's rotation speed gradually slowed down, and finally lost power and stopped completely. Through the energy flashes on the hunter's body, the direction of these energies can be seen with the naked eye. They are flying towards the hunter's head at a high speed, or more precisely, the position of the eyes, so that the hunter's head, which is close to the strangler beetle's body, begins to turn into a dazzling scarlet.
