It seems that in order to confirm the words of 061, the surface of the water in the night ripples for no reason, a circle spread out from the center of the lake, like a tremor from the heart of the earth.

Yanchao Zhan's face changed slightly and he turned his eyes away from Zuoshan Ji , looking towards the lake.

In the water it is difficult to feel an object approaching, the two men are still splashing water, forcing the man to the center of the lake.

The human animal did not dare to resist, while wiping away the water that had entered his eyes and begged in a low voice: "Young master, young master, the water is too deep, I do not know how to swim."

The face of the country lifted up the water and poured it into his mouth.

Yanchao Zhan stared intently at the celebrity, his eyes complicated.

The human animal fell backwards, the soft soil beneath his feet but suddenly collapsed, the human animal was the top of the lake, he was a little panicked, opened his arms and flung two randomly to sink, thanks to his luck, in the vicinity of a landing spot, before the head to the surface, choking the water voice issued a hoarse pleading voice: "I can come up?".

In addition to the noise over there, the surrounding area is still quiet, just chirping insects have stopped some time ago.

Xiaoqing Wang was not asleep, and sensing that the atmosphere was not right, he turned over and sat up, pushing a slap on the face of Xizhou Wang, who had just fallen asleep: "...... is awake."

Xizhou Wang was drowsy, but woke up very quickly, before sitting up, his right hand has touched the left wrist mecha summoning button: "Sister?"

Xiaochi Chi stood up and called out to them, "Come up, there's something in the lake."

The hairspray guy asked the face, "What's he yelling about?"

The face heard, but rather unconcerned, raised his voice to more than 20 meters from the shore of the human animal gloating: "Hey! There's something in the lake, you hear me? Run, you."

The human animal eyes, ears, mouth and nose are into the water, choking the seven orifices are hot, and the ears are the sound of water, where you can hear what the face is saying, only a cough, rubbing eyes.

The hairspray guy laughed twice at his stupid face.

However, less than two seconds later, a bowed ridge of steel slid out of the water and swept silently past two meters behind the human animal.

The hairspray guy's eyes widened: "...... What's that?"

The national face was still smiling, "You're jerking off too?"

The hairspray man raised his arm and pointed behind the human animal, yet there was already a calm there, only a faint ripple of water sliding by, indistinguishable from a creature passing by, or the aftermath of his struggle.

But the national face can no longer laugh.

In the water at the right elbow of the human animal, the same yellowish shimmering round thing floated out, like a water ghost carrying a human head lantern, night walk to this.

If you look closely, you can find that the ghost-like floating on the surface of the water, is a lantern-sized eye.

The human animal was oblivious to the fact that a little dirt had gotten into his eyes, stinging his eyelids.

And that eye in the black benevolent sluggishly turned, seems to be bad eyesight, looks a little naive, even to the human animal.

Xiaoqing Wang was slightly relieved, thinking that this might not be some kind of carnivorous animal.

But Xizhou Wang, beside her, was already trembling slightly.

Xiaoqing Wang took his hand and lowered his voice, fearing that a slightly higher voice would startle the giant creature of unknown intent: "What?"

Xizhou Wang shakily raised his hand and put something on Xiaoqing Wang's temple.

This is a miniature disposable biological nano-magnifier, as long as contact with the human body, it can receive brain waves, adjust the focal length of the eyes at will, the range of viewing objects is limited to one kilometer.

Xiaoqing Wang's scalp exploded with just one look.

With that eye surfacing, there is a tiny foot limb with tens of thousands of tiny compound eyes growing on it!

And these dense compound eyes, all staring intently at human animals, glowing with a cold and hungry glare.

"Holy shit!!!"

The face and the hair gel man came back to their senses, screamed and ran on their hands and knees towards the water's edge.

Xiaoqing Wang, seeing this, was furious and said angrily, "You are the closest, you pull him up--"

The hairspray man ignored it and shakily tried to activate the mech switch on his wrist, but accidentally poked the lighting switch.

The mechs parked on the shore shot out two soft white light from their eyes, reflecting the surface of the lake brightly.

Xiaoqing Wang was about to vomit blood.

And the camouflaged sluggish black pupil was stimulated by the light, suddenly shrunk, shrunk to the size of a pinpoint.

The first to move was Yanchao Zhan.

He has long activated the mech, at this time it is too late to enter the mech, but in advance to turn on the sympathetic function.

His left hand rolled over at first, a light whip about 100 meters long was flung out horrifyingly, the tip of the whip steadily hooked the neck of the human animal.

At this moment, where there is no concern for safety, Yanchao Zhan roughly dragged the strangled people who are about to roll their eyes to the shore to pull.

The monster that lurks under the water how can sit back and watch the prey near at hand to escape, a foot about six meters long dripping water from the bottom of the lake, the tip like the brightest dagger, as fast as thunder, towards the waist of the human animal stabbed!

As Yanchao Zhan made his move, Xiaoqing Wang shouted, "Judgment!"

Xiaoqing Wang's mech "Judgment" picked up Xiaoqing Wang, holding her arms, like a cloak thrown on her back, the wrist start bracelet instantly opened the hatch, she leapt into the cabin.

This action is so skilled that without hesitation, her body's senses are already in communion with the mech.

She has already turned on all the emergency mode, her right arm and left arm knocked each other with a sharp clanging sound of steel impact, the grenade machine - gun of the right arm and the MP5 of the left arm all ejected, positive racking, automatic loading is completed.

Xiaoqing Wang did not press the gun, the left arm aimed at the lantern-sized eye, the right arm in the sneak attack of the foot limbs out of the water has opened fire, double magazines of bullets without reservation to pour out the nest.

A few ricochets hit the shore, narrowly missing the hairspray man's foot.

He jumped to his feet and said, "You watch it! You watch it!"

Xiaoqing Wang gritted his teeth in anger, and was at a loss for words when a series of pulsing arcs of light diagonally across the forest also entered the water, stirring up a series of surging waves of water.

She heard Qian Luo's scolding voice from over there: "Get lost! If you don't get lost, it's on me!

The roasted blue hue glowed deceptively under the spitting tongues of fire, breaking the silence of the night.

Feedback was received in real time from the monitoring camp fifty miles away.

"There's a fight going on in C13. ...... should be the first group, no, two groups, to trigger a fight this summer training."

The staff officer in charge of the night watch was unimpressed: "Two groups should be fine. These kids who have never seen the world are likely to fire even if they run into a sand centipede."

The monitor stared intently at the screen and thermal imager, his throat rolled arduously a few times, "Staff Officer Li, take a look. The ...... they ran into seems to be a mountain type bug?"

The staff officer in charge almost rolled out of his chair, "What? Did you misread it?"

The monitors moved out of the way while the staff officer in charge practically flung himself in front of the computer, staring intently at the thermal imager, his face gradually turning blue.

The monitor asked nervously, "Staff Officer Li ...... did we 'scar' put a creature with a dangerous level of 3A like the mountain type bug?"

Xiaoqing Wang's shot bought Yanchao Zhan time, while Xizhou Wang also seized the time to get into the agile mech designed in the shape of a praying mantis, and arrived at the lake with a few instant steps, and met Yanchao Zhan perfectly. The first time I saw him, I was able to get up to the tree and pull a vine and put him in the tree.

After a burst of fire, Xiaoqing Wang's twin barrels had burned a little soft, she stood up with her arms and clamped them, shaking out two hot cartridges, snapping and rolling on the morning dew-stained grass.

When Xiaoqing Wang turned his head, he found Xiaochi Chi still standing in the same place, not even entering the mech, so he was furious: "How did you--"

Xiaochi Chi : "Shhh."

Xiaoqing Wang : "You're not--"

Xiaochi Chi interrupted her once again, "Why isn't it moving?"

Xiaoqing Wang was loading a miniature light cannon with ammunition when he heard that he was also stunned.

From just a burst of shooting, the insects have not moved a cent, but also just trying to pierce the body of the prey limbs retracted back below the surface of the water, not slow, quite a method.

And its eyes had been blinded by Qian Luo's pulse gun, but it remained peacefully submerged under the water, especially at peace, as if the severe physical injury was not a particularly important matter.

Xiaochi Chi asked Zuoshan Ji, "What is the situation now?"

Zuoshan Ji stared, "This is a mountain-type insect, extremely large, with a strong shell, and is generally used as a meat titan in battle. But it has a very violent temperament, and now this ...... is not in line with biological instincts."

Xiaochi Chi and Zuoshan Ji were silent for a while at the same time.

061 seems to understand: "Since it is not a biological instinct, then there is an order to carry out."

Oasis, lake, mountain type worms that lurk at the bottom ......

The three thought of a certain possibility at the same time.

Too late to verify, Xiaochi Chi asked Zuoshan Ji, "Can I use Lu Bu to fight mountain-type insects?"

Zuoshan Ji shook his head decisively: " Lu Bu is too fragile for it. Its shell may not be able to be blown apart even with the military's artillery."

Xiaochi Chi said, " Lu Bu can't, can you fight."

Zuoshan Ji thought about it this time: "...... can."

Xiaochi Chi manipulated Zuoshan Ji's body and leaped into Lu Bu's body while saying, "When it's over, remove his shell and give it to Qian Luo to study."

As we speak, the mountain-shaped insect is slowly sinking, seemingly intending to lay down.

Already the hands and feet are weak, and the hair gel man each breathed a big sigh of relief.

They dared to come to "Scar" because of the pressure from their elders. They were planning to get through the days by relying on human beings and companionship with other teams, but they didn't expect God to treat them well when they ran into Zuoshan Ji, who started at a similar time, and Yanchao Zhan, a fighter, who came to their door voluntarily.

At this point in time, they no longer feel that this is good luck, but only focus on the heart of the cry of bad luck.

Who expected at this time, thought to escape the two heard Zuoshan Ji, who has not participated in the fight since a moment ago, said: " Qian Luo, let it lift its Ba Wang head from the water."

Qian Luo flattened the already raised muzzle again, "...... mean that you can't let it get away?"

The face of the king's character blustered, "Don't look for trouble! It's ignoring you all!"

This is quite disgusting, not to mention the hot-tempered Yanchao Zhan, and even Xizhou Wang, who returned, was a bit annoyed: "What do you mean by 'you guys'? This thing is not what you provoke?"

The hairspray guy was also eager to get out of here, "Let's go, let's go, we're giving ourselves a hard time. Pfft, what bad luck."

Xiaochi Chi gave a laugh and came without a head: "...... in the mech to hide well ah."

State-Face: "...... what?"

Xiaochi Chi, without further ado, raised his gun and turned it to floating mode, and with a shot to the chest, blasted the mech-clad face into the water.

Hairspray man's jaw drops: "......"

Xiaochi Chi collected his gun in style: " Qian Luo , found you a decoy."

At the end, he added: "...... Beware of the vortex."

Qian Luo although do not know what his last sentence means, but also know that this time can not be delayed, she no longer say more, in the mech slightly licked lips, to the side of the gun again raised Xiaoqing Wang flicked tongue, issued a simple and sharp bared: "Little Jasmine, see the opportunity to help me."

Xiaoqing Wang : "......" who is little Molly ah.

Although she didn't know what Zuoshan Ji was trying to do, she pulled out the third AWM from her mechanical arm and set it up with a clang, while slightly dissatisfied with Xiaochi Chi, "Why don't you go down yourself?"

Xiaochi Chi looked straight ahead and justified, " Lu Bu is not waterproof."

Xiaoqing Wang : "......"

One of the essential skills of any dedicated machine is waterproofing, but Lu Bu is really just a normal modified training machine.

Xiaoqing Wang eyed the water and wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she saw a scene that surprised her.

Even Xiaochi Chi didn't expect Yanchao Zhan to rush into the water with Qian Luo.

He did not say a word to swing the right arm light whip, an arc of light burst out longitudinally, issued a call to the teeth of the current scorching sound.

The vain attempt to re-integrate into the water bottom of the mountain-shaped insect is really silent as a mountain, this heavy injury is not a sound, but from the bottom of the water out of a black oily limbs, vicious grasp towards his face!

The black spiral steel shell of the mech almost melted with the darkness before the dawn, Yanchao Zhan light as a swallow, single foot on the foot limb over two, then short body, stretch out one hand, in the sharp as a knife foot limb slide all the way down, steel and steel friction out a string of sparks, until it disappeared under the water.

...... He's off to find the head of a mountain-type bug.

Xizhou Wang was dumbfounded: "...... Is he crazy?"

Xiaochi Chi did not speak, and Zuoshan Ji inside him did not say anything either.

This desperate style of play is indeed Yanchao Zhan's style.

Qian Luo found that Yanchao Zhan had moved with her and was only stunned for a moment. While the mountain-type insect was tangling with Yanchao Zhan, she turned on her stealth and heat shield mode and quickly relied on the calorimeter to locate the location of the Chinese character face.

...... He was looking like a large meat can, being desperately torn by a pair of foot limbs.

Thanks to these two people know their own ability is not enough, so they put enough effort on their own special machine, using the steel is full Naaman metal, even the mountain type insects will be difficult to tear it.

And after discovering the lack of limb strength, the mountain-type insect passed that mech through the dense layers of limbs and prepared to put it into its mouth.

The mountain-type insect is not an offensive type of insect, and its teeth are arguably the sharpest part of its body.

The mountain-shaped bug is what a large tick looks like, and Qian Luo patiently followed the screams of the national face all the way to its mouthparts.

The mountain-shaped insect grasped the mech with the national face and couldn't wait to send it to its mouth, like it was starving.

...... opportunity!

Qian Luo dived silently under the mouth of the mountain-shaped insect, pulled out his pulse gun, which had been recharged, took a quick glance, aimed at its open jaws and pulled the trigger.

The impact of the pulse gun was so great that the mountain-type insect was suddenly struck by the blow and fell upward with its head held high.

Qian Luo suddenly felt that something was wrong.

As soon as the mountain-shaped bug left the place where it was lying, a swirling, surging suction pulled her downward!

...... This is the "Beware of the Vortex"?

She made an immediate decision to pop out two steel cables from her waist, nailing herself backwards into the river mud along the riverbank, until she was firmly hooked into the rock layer before stopping, and also avoiding the mountain-type insects because of the pain and wildly swinging iron claws.

Qian Luo was anxious to find a good angle when he saw a pale golden figure appear in the jaws of the creature, as the mountain-shaped insect that had been thrown upward by the pulse gun was about to fall again.

Yanchao Zhan turned the thrusters on his back and feet to maximum mode, and the push-back sensation of racing stimulated his whole body to tingle. His right arm turned into a light knife, stabbed along the scorched place blasted by Qian Luo, and rotated with force, trying his best to fight against the unknown vortex, pushing the mountain-shaped bug upward minute by minute.

Even in the water, Qian Luo could hear his heart-breaking roar.

--Get up there! Get up there!

The mountain-shaped insect also sensed that something was wrong and danced frantically, forming a wave blade underwater, but it was still inevitably pushed upward minute by minute!

Xiaoqing Wang had already chosen an angle based on the direction of the water's separation, and as soon as the tentacles of the mountain-type insect emerged from the water, she fired with a blast, forcing the mountain-type insect to raise its head even higher with an endless stream of shots.

Xiaochi Chi said to Zuoshan Ji, "It's all yours."

Lu Bu held Xiaochi Chi properly in his arms and said warmly, "I will protect my master."

Zuoshan Ji know this opportunity is rare, hold your breath, bow down, behind the thruster energy pressure to full, the engine issued a low roar similar to the beast.

He stared at the gradually surfacing insect head, before his eyes all that invasion of the city, and his own narrow encounter with the monster, and finally died together.

...... this life, only you die and I live, there is no other option.

When the struggling head gradually appeared, Zuoshan Ji gritted his teeth and dashed a few steps, as fast as the wind, as swift as a forest deer, and even before Xiaoqing Wang could see, he took advantage of the momentum of the thrusters to rise from the river bank and landed lightly on the smooth back of the mountain-shaped insect exposed to the water.

Lu Bu wedged his feet firmly on the insect greasy back and led Zuoshan Ji all the way to the head of the mountain type insect.

Xizhou Wang was anxious: "Sister, does he have any weapon that can poke through the head of a mountain-type bug?"

Xiaoqing Wang did not answer his question, simply because he could not find the answer himself.

She anxiously shrugged off the magazine she didn't know how many rounds she'd used to empty it and muttered to herself, "What the hell?"

Zuoshan Ji stepped on the back of its ringed and writhing neck, bent down, and put his hands against the blasted tentacles of the mountain-type insect.

At the same time, 061 covered Xiaochi Chi's ears and familiarly built a protective energy shield for his spirit.

And Zuoshan Ji whispered, "Die."

His palms flared up, gripping its most sensitive tentacles and pouring spiritual energy into it without reservation.

A few feet away from the Wang family siblings instantly limp on the ground, still hanging on the mountain-type insects swinging on the neck of Yanchao Zhan is a loose hand directly into the water, lying on the shore of the face simply hold the head, let out a cry of fear into the bones!

How can a mountain-type insect held by tentacles withstand this when humans are like this?

Its brain kernel is extremely well preserved inside the hard shell, like a walnut kernel in a hard-shelled walnut.

But now, the walnut emitted a soft "boing" sound, bursting open from it.

The mountain-shaped insect's huge body jerked violently a few times and fell into the water, exploding into a large cannonball explosion-like water splash.

And Zuoshan Ji withdrew his body and jumped backwards, legs slightly bent, landing smoothly.

Xizhou Wang was in a state of shock when he vaguely noticed that something was wrong.

He pointed to the waterline and said, "Sister, look."

Xiaoqing Wang forced himself to hold back his horror, looking at the monster-like gaze from Zuoshan Ji to move away, and looked down and found that the water level of the oasis lake had dropped nearly a meter more!

At that moment, Qian Luo leapt out of the water and landed lightly.

The steel cable in her right hand was holding the face of Guo Zi, who was already foaming, and the steel cable in her left hand was holding Yanchao Zhan.

When he saw Zuoshan Ji, Qian Luo was the first to complain: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were using your mental power? I almost threw up in the mech!"

But her complaints are only complaints, she has taken out her own anger and pleasure, and she does not care.

She pointed to the lake, where the water level was still dropping like crazy, and said, "You really should come down and take a look. ...... There's a hole at the bottom of the lake."

Xiaochi Chi got off the mech and asked, "How old?"

Qian Luo put it succinctly: "An adult mountain-type worm is the size of a mountain."

The facts are clear enough.

The insects dug a hole at some point and invaded the "scar" summer training ground. And they chose the exit of the hole-hole in the small lake of the oasis.

Those who came to "Scar" were future members of the army reserve who lacked combat experience.

It is conceivable that if all the latent insects swooped in together, the human army would lose a group of extremely good soldiers within a year.

And this mountain-shaped insect is the gatekeeper who uses its carcass to guard this path of hunting and feeding.

It should have been lying here for a long time, while there should also be extremely aggressive insects mixed inside the training ground, first filling the land around the lurking place of the mountain-type insects to facilitate it to block the hole and sneak around with water, hunting some snakes and wild sheep to give it food every day. This can be judged from the sheep bones and snake bones hidden in the mud and sand at the bottom of the river.

Recently, however, as summer approaches and patrols increase, these insects do not dare to come easily.

If not starving, I'm afraid the mountain type worms will wait until the army comes to move.

It was not until the members of the team worked together to drag the body of the mountain-type insect and re-close the hole that the inspectors, who were at the nearest point, arrived late in their helicopter.

After the survey, Staff Officer Lee wanted to call off the operation, but soon, a female Alpha in charge came to the scene and saw several people covered in battle traces, calmly announced that the "scar" summer training continued.

Staff Officer Lee was slightly disturbed: "But, the insects ......"

The female Alpha calmly said, "Lee, don't forget that we are selecting warriors."

She points to Zuoshan Ji and others: "...... are such fighters."

However, before the words could fall, two hoarse cries interrupted her words.

Xiaochi Chi looked at the sound of the voice, and it was indeed the country face and the hair gel man, who were in tears, pleading to quit this summer training.

The female Alpha is vaguely disappointed: "...... and not like this."

Yanchao Zhan's hard-to-find squad fell apart, but he didn't go with Zuoshan Ji after all.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at Zuoshan Ji

Only when Yanchao Zhan was close at hand did he realize that Zuoshan Ji had such a huge amount of energy hidden in its body.

...... What a treasure he used to possess?

Yanchao Zhan did not dare to think about it again, he was afraid that if he thought about it, he would collapse.

At six o'clock, an instruction message from headquarters was sent to the headphones of every member participating in the training.

"By 24:00 this evening, the entire team will work together to kill three bugbears. Each person needs to find a piece of Naaman metal. This is today's mission."

Without any delay, the military announced that a mini-war belonging to these young kids had begun.

Zuoshan Ji, on the other hand, has already fought a tough battle and will not be afraid of anything they encounter.

A few people were lucky to find the remaining two insects before eight o'clock, which is no role at all compared to that mountain-type insect.

However, a few people hit a bottleneck when looking for Naaman metal.

In desperation, Xiaochi Chi said, "Let's split up. We'll meet tonight at the B12 coordinates (22, 125). Whoever arrives first will set off three rounds of electronic fireworks."

After the battle, Xiaochi Chi has invariably become the core of the team, giving instructions followed by obedient nods from the Wang siblings, who walk with Qian Luo and Xiaochi Chi at their backs.

By 4:00 p.m., Xiaochi Chi's group still had nothing to show for it.

As early as three o'clock, the agreed coordinates were released with the Wang siblings in place fireworks.

Qian Luo could not hide his dislike: "Ji, your luck is too bad. Let's split up too."

Xiaochi Chi : "...... hmmm."

So the two of them split up, too.

Because of the loss of spiritual power, Zuoshan Ji slept in his body.

Xiaochi Chi slips along a ruin with his hands behind his back, trying to find a picture frame or a vase made of Naaman metal, and after a long search, he leaves the city again and finds a small lake, using a detector, but still nothing.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he simply fished a fish up from the lake nearby, intending to fill his stomach first.

When the tension subsided and the crackling of the burning fire sounded, Xiaochi Chi just thoughtfully smiled and said to 061, "Teacher Six, it seems like a long time since I've been alone with you."
