Trickster Hunter

Chapter 291 Killing

…

Meanwhile, another line of action.

"The front is Observation Post No. 6." Zhulong walked and carefully looked around, "I don't think heavy rain and mudslides can kill those experienced special service operators... You should understand what I mean, right?"

"Isn't it just a weird thing?" said a hunter who was assigned to the group of candle dragons. "It's just our job."

"Speaking of which, Zhulong, among these people, your perception ability should be the strongest, right?" Ye Jiu said, "Can you feel which direction has the strongest aura of strange things?"

Zhulong shook his head: "It's everywhere, even where we are, it's full of strong aura of strange things... I'm not sure whether these auras come from real strange things, or from Chimera No. 17 means of interference.”

"Oh, interference method? Is it afraid of us?" Ye Jiu hung the wolf fang behind him, holding the Tang Hengdao named "Zhanshuang" in his hand, dragging the tip of the knife to the ground - all those who were beheaded Everything the frost comes into contact with, whether it is mud or rain, quickly freezes into ice, forming a road of ice under Ye Jiu's feet.

Thanks to him, several other hunters in the same group were spared the embarrassment of trudging in the mud. They all followed Ye Jiu and walked on this ice road.

"Speaking of which, how many weapons are these missing special service operators equipped with?" a hunter at the end of the team asked.

"They are unarmed," Zhulong replied.

"No weapons? Are you kidding me?" The hunter just arrived in Tianfu City yesterday and obviously didn't know much about the situation. "The Sheriff needs to bring a baton and a stun gun to catch a thief. Tell me what these special agents do. The officer didn’t bring any weapons?”

"Even tactical nuclear bombs can't kill Chimera No. 17. What weapons do you plan to let them bring? Big Ivan?" Another hunter who arrived a few days earlier complained, "In this bad weather, Every gram of weight must be carefully calculated. If you carry one less gun and one less magazine, you may be able to carry a whole set of more monitoring equipment... Do you think they don't want to carry weapons? "

"Then if you encounter something strange, wouldn't it mean that you don't even have the ability to fight back?"

"When Chimera No. 17 first appeared, all the monsters in this area were killed by it. Coupled with the nuclear strike, theoretically speaking, except for Chimera No. 17, this area is There are no other strange things." Zhulong explained patiently, "The biggest threats they face are actually heavy rain, radiation and mudslides... But no one expected that a group of people would appear out of thin air in this area. Strange thing.”

"By the way, are the frequencies of those monsters detected later confirmed to be independent monsters?" Ye Jiu asked, "Where did these monsters come from? Did Chimera No. 17 just look at them?" Wandering around in your own neighborhood? What if there is no room for two tigers in one mountain?”

"Yang Qi believes that these new monsters are probably the 'guards' created by Chimera No. 17 -" Zhulong suddenly stopped mid-sentence, "Watch your steps!"

The mud near the ice channel suddenly exploded, and several figures covered in mud jumped out of the mud and pounced on the hunters standing on the ice channel.

"F*ck!" The hunter at the end of the team subconsciously cursed, but his arm that had already formed muscle memory had already picked up a special shotgun and locked it directly on the figure closest to him. The trigger was pulled!

"Bang!!"

The deafening sound of gunfire instantly drowned out the noisy sound of rain, and the muzzle of the shotgun sprayed out a large puff of fire. Before the figure leaping out of the mud could pounce on him, he was pushed by the huge kinetic energy. Flying backwards quickly.

Ye Jiu's movements were not slow either. The Zhanshuang in his hand quickly slashed out several air blades - wherever the air blades passed, the mud froze. Those attackers who had just jumped up and whose bodies had not yet completely escaped from the mud were directly frozen. He stopped, and then fell heavily on the ice.

"That's all." Ye Jiu rushed out with the knife, raised the knife with his hand, and instantly chopped off the heads of the two attackers who fell.

The people present were all senior hunters with rich practical experience. Except for the hunter who just cursed, no one else was too surprised by the attack. Everyone took action one after another, either using abilities or modern weapons, and in the blink of an eye they repelled all the attackers dormant in the mud.

"These guys... seem to be the missing special service operators?" A hunter glanced at the head that was chopped off by Ye Jiu and was still wearing a helmet, and frowned.

"They are infected." Zhulong took a deep breath, "It seems that the individual monsters detected previously are probably these infected special service operators."

However, the two "infected people" who were decapitated by Ye Jiu did not die. The headless body struggled to rise up, and a large group of tentacle-like things emerged from the neck of the corpse, crazily. Squirming.

"Tsk, it looks disgusting."

Ye Jiu said with some disgust, stepped on the shoulder of the headless body, and then inserted Zhanshuang straight through the incision on the neck!

Those tentacles were frozen into ice sculptures in an instant. Ye Jiu flicked his wrist and shook the blade slightly, and the ice sculptures turned into pieces and scattered on the ice.

"Isn't this too weak? Does Chimera No. 17 expect to use these things to stop us? If you want to talk about me, Zhulong, we should... Zhulong?"

Ye Jiu pulled out the Frost-Slashing Blade and looked up, only to find that there was no one around.

Zhulong disappeared, and the monster hunters in his group also disappeared.

"What's going on?" Ye Jiu's heart tightened instantly, and he changed from holding the knife with one hand to holding the knife with both hands.

He suddenly realized that the rainstorm had stopped at some point.

A semicircular crescent moon appeared in the dark night sky, and the bright white moonlight projected down, imprinted on Ye Jiu's armor, exuding a chill of killing.

"Moon? How can Yongye see the moon?" Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, "No, even if you can see the moon, it should be a blood moon... But this moon is white, and it's a crescent moon... No, no, no!"

Ye Jiu lowered his head and suddenly found that what he was stepping on was no longer ice, but frozen soil as hard as iron.

The blade of the Frost-Slashing Blade was dripping with black blood, and at his feet, there was an indescribable corpse lying.

It can be vaguely identified that this is a human corpse, but the surface of the corpse is covered with black mane that does not appear on humans. The sharp claws and the dense row of "eyes" on the back are also reminding Ye Jiu... This corpse is not a human at all.

At least, it is not a normal human.

"What is this... Is it the infected person I just killed?"

Ye Jiu suddenly shuddered, he turned his head, and the whole person froze in place.

Less than a hundred meters behind him, an army was quietly arrayed.

The cavalry wore black clothes and black armor, black horses and saddles, and even the pheasant feathers on the helmets were dyed black.

This army has at least a thousand people, but it is as quiet as a ghost... Not only the people, but even the horses did not make the slightest sound.

There are no flags in the army, and there are no flags on the backs of the cavalry, but relying on the style of armor and weapons, Ye Jiu still recognized the true identity of this army.

The "Black Armor Cavalry" of the prosperous Tang Dynasty!

"Fuck!" Ye Jiu couldn't help but curse in his heart.

The "killing" set he was wearing came from the Black Armor Cavalry. Of course, he knew the combat effectiveness of this army very well.

In the era of cold weapons, they were the top combat power of mankind.

One thousand Black Armor Cavalry were enough to flatten any country in the Hexi Corridor or any tribe on the Northern Barbarian Grassland... In that period, no other army could stop their iron hooves... Even the high walls made of boulders might not be able to stop them.

The most famous achievement of the Black Armor Cavalry in later generations was that they killed the Wolf Fang rebels, which had more than ten times the number of their own troops, with a force of two thousand people, and killed several generals of the Wolf Fang rebels, delaying the fall of Chang'an City by several months.

But the Black Armor Cavalry of that period had been nearly a hundred years since it was first established... According to the description of the ancient books of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Black Armor Cavalry of this period, both in terms of number and combat effectiveness, was much inferior to the Black Armor Cavalry when it was just established.

However, there are very few records of the newly established Black Armor Cavalry in the literature.

The Black Armor Cavalry was born from the "Black Armor Army" led by Emperor Zhenguan himself. The Black Armor Army followed Emperor Zhenguan to conquer the world and created many great achievements, but the Black Armor Cavalry, which was born later, had almost no combat record during the Zhenguan period.

The Black Armor Army was born in troubled times, while the Black Armor Cavalry was born in a peaceful and prosperous era. No one knows why Emperor Zhenguan spent several times more resources than the Black Armor Army to build such an elite force... In the prosperous Tang Dynasty at that time, such an army was completely a decoration. The surrounding areas of the prosperous Tang Dynasty were all vassal states that bowed to the emperor, and even the barbarians in the north had to keep their tails between their legs under the pressure of the "Heavenly Khan" Emperor Zhenguan... The existence of the Black Armor Cavalry, except for shocking the four directions, has no practical significance at all.

Some people think that the Black Armor Cavalry was a national treasure created by Emperor Zhenguan to promote martial virtues, while others think that it was just a symbol of Emperor Zhenguan's aggressive military policy... Later generations have been arguing about this, and there has never been a conclusion.

But one thing is beyond doubt - no one knows what kind of war this Black Armor Cavalry fought during the reign of Emperor Zhenguan.

But no one doubts that they did not fight.

In many documents, the weapons and equipment and personnel replenishment of this unit have been recorded - normal training, no matter how intense it is, the loss of equipment cannot be so huge. Only in war, and extremely tragic wars, will there be a bizarre situation where thousands of sets of armor and tens of thousands of reserve soldiers are replenished every year, while the total number of Black Armor Cavalry has never exceeded 5,000.

In other dynasties, or even in the era of other emperors in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, it may be attributed to corruption in the court and the public, and official embezzlement... But in the reign of Emperor Zhenguan, this is absolutely impossible.

What's more, this is the military expenditure of the Black Armor Cavalry.

Ye Jiu couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Although no one told him the answer, he vaguely understood something in his heart.

The black armor cavalry in front of him was probably the black armor cavalry during the Zhenguan Emperor's period.

In that era, the prosperous Tang Empire had no forces that could be called enemies... Then, who would be the opponent of this army?

Ye Jiu couldn't help but lower his head and look at the corpse at his feet.

The enemy of the black armor cavalry... is it a weird thing?

A sharp howl tore apart the silent atmosphere. Ye Jiu suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw that strange things all over the mountains and plains were coming in this direction - these strange things still maintained most of the characteristics of human beings, but those same obvious mutated organs and charging speeds that were far faster than war horses all told Ye Nine: They are not human at all.

A uniform sound of metal friction came from behind. Ye Jiu looked back again and saw that the black-armored knights on horseback had lowered their originally upright spears, and pointed their sharp spear points at the enemy. The direction from which the creatures are rushing.

Each of the Black Armor Knights wore a ghost mask exactly like Ye Jiu's, so that Ye Jiu couldn't see their expressions at all.

"Kill." A low roar sounded from the Black Armor Knight.

"Kill!" All the Black Armor Knights roared together, and an invisible wave of air emitted from the military formation and spread to all sides.

Ye Jiu noticed that the spear tips of these black-armored knights were wrapped with a purple-black hidden flame that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

"These spears... are they all trick weapons and equipment?" Ye Jiu was really dumbfounded now. "Are these thousands of black armored knights all qualified for trick weapons and equipment?"

This incident was even more shocking to Ye Jiu than the fact that the real enemy of Xuanjia Xiaoqi was a monster.

"How is this possible?!"

Ye Jiu was in a state of confusion, but the Black Armor Knights who had already lined up had already launched a charge towards the tens of thousands of monsters!

The horse's hooves were raised high and fell heavily, and the hard frozen tundra shook violently. The cavalry in black clothes and armor were like a high-speed moving iron stream, swallowing up the distance of a hundred meters in an instant.

Just when Ye Jiu thought that all this was just an illusion brought to him by "Slaying", a black armor knight who was galloping past him suddenly reached out and lifted him up from the ground.

"Eh? Hey hey hey hey?!"

The black-armored knight swung violently, and Ye Jiu flew backwards. Then, he landed on an unmanned war horse.

"This is... my mount?" Ye Jiukankan grabbed the reins and barely stabilized his body on the horse.
