Chapter 385 Alien Battlefield (14) Hunter, and Reversal

Near the location of the firefight.

Han Zu was hiding behind a corner where he would not attract attention, charging up high-energy rays. After the energy was charged, he was ready for a surprise attack. He quietly stuck his head out and looked towards the location of the exchange of fire.

"Damn it! I forgot about this!"

There was no sign of the team at the crossfire location, only some automated floating artillery groups, besieging two large creatures that could be called weird from any angle. From the battle sequence of the floating artillery groups, it can be observed that the operators of these floating artillery groups, or the attack programs that come with them, are very experienced in dealing with these weird large creatures. They are not just pouring firepower blindly, but under the cover of some highly defensive floating artillery, they are attacking the two monsters in a targeted manner.

"It seems that they have seen this thing many times and have already developed ways to deal with it."

While trying to find a way to bypass the exchange of fire and continue chasing the team in front, Han Zu carefully observed the two monsters and the main attack positions of the floating artillery groups. If he encountered these strange large creatures later and a battle broke out, he might be able to gain some advantages from it.

These monsters look very strange. Their limbs are very similar to those of Quetzalcoatlus, but unlike pterosaurs, their limbs, whether forelimbs or hind limbs, do not have wing membranes or wings for flying. Instead, they are covered with hard bristles. The color is also very strange. Although Han Zu can see the color accurately, he cannot describe it because there is no description of this color in any known human language. In particular, these colors will change like flowing energy. The contractor's equipment can search for the name of this color by the contractors, but again, this is a word that cannot be translated into human language.

Their limbs are exactly the same size and shape, with things at the end that look not quite like claws or hooves of any living creature. There are seven things that look similar to those of birds of prey, which can barely be called claws. Four are facing forward, one is on the side like a thumb, and two are facing backward. Each claw is about 60 centimeters in size, and is connected to a retractable bone structure of about 20 centimeters, which looks like the sharp claws of birds. They look very sharp, and judging by the fact that they can easily leave extremely deep marks on the surrounding walls, their sturdiness is also outrageous.

Compared to their huge limbs, their torsos are much smaller. Although they are also very large, they look like a table without legs. From a biological perspective and considering their own size, the thickness is very thin, only about the thickness of a 300ml mineral water bottle. The torsos, like their limbs, are also covered with hard bristles.

These monsters had no tails, nor did they have any obvious reproductive organs. Their heads were a bit strange, and Han Zu couldn't think of any creatures that could be used as analogies. However, upon closer inspection, the heads of these large creatures were very similar to the heads of the Quetzalcoatl in mythology. On the heads that were also covered with hair, there was a circle of something that should be special feathers growing on them. These feathers didn't seem to have any practical use, but the strange thing was that these feathers seemed soft, but they were intact under the attack of the floating artillery group.

These large creatures didn't have many means of attack, but they were enough. Thanks to their ability to fly, their four limbs could attack at the same time. As long as they were swept by their claws, those sturdy floating guns would be cut into pieces. The six things on their strange heads that looked like eyes could release a special energy similar to a gravity trap. The floating guns that were caught in the fan-shaped area would be immediately pressed to the ground by gravity and lose their ability to move. Then they would either be crushed directly, or cut into pieces by sharp claws, or they would be frozen into ice cubes by the special white gas sprayed from the mouths of these monsters, and then naturally shattered.

"It doesn't have any long-range attack methods. It looks like it shouldn't be difficult to deal with."

Through observation, Han Zu discovered that the floating guns had been attacking the heads of the two strange creatures, or more precisely, the six organs that looked like eyes, in the upper right corner. Although their bodies were extremely hard, there were enough floating guns and they were powerful enough, so there were still many attacks that could cause appropriate damage to the two strange large creatures. However, because their heads were extremely flexible, so far only a few attacks had successfully hit that position. It seemed that these injuries had a great impact on the two creatures, so much so that their torrential attack rhythm and frequency were interrupted for a time.

However, the attack of the floating artillery group failed to penetrate these positions and did not cause enough damage to these weak points. As a result, they not only failed to weaken the two monsters, but angered them. The two monsters rushed forward with all their strength and got their entire bodies into the waterway. It can be clearly observed that the color change on their bodies was one or two times faster. At the same time, the wounds on their bodies began to recover at a very fast speed. Although the floating artillery group continued to add new injuries to them, according to the repair speed of these wounds, it can be roughly calculated that as long as they remain in a state of not entering into battle, it only takes half a minute to heal all the wounds.

"Strong self-healing ability makes it difficult to deal with."

For Han Zu now, the self-healing ability of these two monsters is powerful, but it is still not enough for him. As long as Han Zu has enough energy and the damage to his body does not exceed 60%, he can completely repair the damaged parts within ten seconds. If it is just some penetrating injuries, or a small injury like missing a palm, he can heal himself almost in an instant. This characteristic is also used by Han Zu in his own close combat, such as when he was fighting with the hunter contractor. At that time, the opponent used energy to cut off Han Zu's fist and half of his arm, but because of the powerful self-healing ability, the fist that grew back still hit the opponent's body, causing an effective attack. Although the strength was lost a little, it also allowed Han Zu to maintain his attack rhythm and connect with subsequent attacks.

However, when Han Zu's damage exceeds 60%, the time required for self-healing will become much longer. Han Zu has calculated his self-healing ability using the contractor's equipment. If the situation like before occurs again, where only a piece of skull is left, it will take 27 hours from recovery to complete self-healing. If there is a large amount of biomass to supplement, this time can be shortened to 19 hours. And this is only the time for passive recovery. If the ability of energy conversion is used after recovery to a certain extent, this time will be even shorter.

Continuing to observe the two enraged strange creatures, Han Zu discovered that their various qualities had increased by one or two times. Their attack speed was faster and more powerful. The force field released, which was similar to a gravity trap, also changed from a small fan-shaped area in front of the head to an area of ​​nearly 180 degrees. The range was also increased a lot, covering about half of the waterway. The freezing gas they spewed out was also brighter, and it was estimated that it could cover an area of ​​about ten meters, which was about the same as the range of the flames spewed by Han Zu in this state.

The advantage of the floating gun attack lies in the all-round and multi-angle attack, but in the current waterway location, two large creatures over three meters long occupy half of the waterway width, plus their gravity traps and freezing breath, the range advantage of the floating gun group is significantly reduced, a large number of floating gun groups are quickly destroyed, and the battle situation is rapidly turning around. Moreover, one of the two monsters made a special sharp cry, most likely calling for more companions. The operator of the floating gun group should be far away from here, and no new floating guns have been added to the battle sequence.

Han Zu's original intention was to bypass the battle. With the floating guns attracting the attention of the two monsters, he could find a chance to catch up with the team in front. According to the information Gloria had passed on before, the empty city was full of these monsters, and the team did not have a portable transmission device, so they should not leave the waterway before reaching their destination. Although the distance between Han Zu and the team was getting farther and farther, the control of these floating guns would definitely slow down their movement speed and divert some of their attention, so he could chase at full speed, so that even if they heard the sound, they would think it was a monster entering the waterway, and he could successfully close the distance between the two sides before they found the abnormality and continue to stay hidden.

But now, because the monsters were enraged and the terrain was disadvantageous, if the floating artillery group was completely destroyed, the team in front would abandon these consumables and evacuate at full speed. If they arrived at the destination before he caught up, and Gloria didn't have time to find the location of another outpost before them, they would probably teleport away directly and activate the star destroyer on the satellite. So he had to buy time for Gloria's search. If this was the case, Han Zu couldn't continue to hide. Not enough time.

"It's time to move around."

"Buzz~~!!!"

"Boom boom boom boom~~~"

"boom!!"

Just as one of the monsters opened its mouth and prepared to continue using the freezing breath, Han Zu locked onto the weakness on the upper left side of the monster's eye. The high-energy rays that had already accumulated too much energy in his eyes shot out, piercing through the monster, its torso, and the wall behind it, leaving multiple penetration holes with deadly high temperatures. The monster let out a sharp wail and slowly fell to the ground. Before the monster completely fell to the ground, and before the other monster could react to what was happening, Han Zu rushed over and rushed straight to the second monster. When he arrived in front of it, he jumped up, holding the hammer in both hands, and smashed it from top to bottom. The 12th element in his body also quickly wrapped his hands to the position of his forearms. With a loud bang, the second monster was directly knocked over by the terrifying force, and its torso was bent in a U shape, with serious damage.

However, this melee attack did not hit the weak spot, so the monster immediately began to struggle and tried to fight back.

"Den!"

Han Zu stood firm, suddenly raised his right foot, and stepped directly on the spine of the monster that was smashed to the ground. A crisp and dull sound was heard at the same time, and it seemed that many of its bones were indeed broken.

"boom!"

Han Zu immediately moved a few steps forward diagonally, hugged one of the monster's limbs with both hands, and suddenly threw it up and smashed it against the wall next to him. When the monster's body was thrown out and shattered the wall, Han Zu once again charged up high-energy rays, cutting the first monster that had been killed directly in half, and then rushed towards the waterway in front before the floating artillery group and the second monster could react, chasing the team. Because he didn't need to hide his body this time, Han Zu's footsteps at full speed quickly became farther and farther away. When the footsteps disappeared, it was just the time when the second monster crawled out of the wall.

“Ugh~~~~!!!!!!”

The monster that crawled out of the wall made a sharp explosion and began to repair its injuries. It was very angry. This creature seemed to have no fear at all. It struggled to crawl out of the broken ruins of the wall and raised its unrepaired neck with great effort. Its six eyes stared strangely and angrily at the direction where Han Zu left, ready to catch up and kill this strange enemy. But at this moment, its six eyes suddenly saw many metal pipes aimed at its entire head.

"Buzz~~!!"

“Sizzle~~!!”

"Bang bang bang bang!!!"

Some weapons that looked exactly like the ones used by the previous team were floating in the air, and they vaporized the monster's head. The monster, without a head, fell to the ground and lost its life. Then, the surrounding floating artillery groups stopped moving, and a small range of fluctuations suddenly appeared in the space behind the weapons floating in the air. Then, the team that Han Zu was tracking suddenly appeared here. The two people who were not wearing helmets had very solemn expressions.
