Chapter 20: Steel Barbarian Mice Seek Red Tickets Collection
Squeak!! Squeak squeak!!!!!
The bloody smell suddenly stimulated the mutated rats behind to scream, and three mutated rats next to the ones hit by Liang Jing's steel balls rushed towards their heavily injured and dying companions. In the midst of the heavily injured mutated rats' sharp screams, they scrambled to snatch the flesh and blood on their bodies, causing a commotion.
Hah!
Upon witnessing this scene, Liang Jing's eyes lit up as he finally found a way to stall for time. As long as he slowly and continuously killed these monsters without being too brutal and provoking the mutated mouse group's anger, he believed that he could soon buy enough time for Zhang Hu and the others to escape the threat of the mouse tide. Unexpectedly, these red-eyed mutated rats, which were already completely crazy in their daily lives, would not attack their own kind. However, when it came to the "corpses" of their own kind, they would frantically scramble for them, even producing conflicts. Perhaps this was the bare law of the jungle - they did not have humans' complex psychology, only survival, survival, and more survival; they did not have human civilization, only finding food when hungry, simple and direct as that.
Come on!
Waaah! Waaah! Waaah!
Liang Jing's running speed was not fast, but he kept a certain distance from the mouse tide behind him. At the forefront of the wave-like mouse tide, it seemed that only one wave could sweep him into the turbulent waves, leaving no bones intact. At the same time, he used [Violent Throw] to shoot out 40mm steel balls, affecting the flow speed of the mouse tide behind him, slowly pulling away from Zhang Hu and others.
Liang Jing continued to use [Violent Throw] to fire steel balls at a certain speed, his experience and accuracy improving with each shot. His hit rate was getting higher and higher, almost every shot hitting the head; it was then that the gold-level skill [Violent Throw] slowly began to reveal its power.
【Violent Throw】: Burst forth with full body strength to throw the weapon in hand and attack the enemy, dealing intense damage, initial 11%.
……
【Violent Throw】: Burst forth with full body strength to throw the weapon in hand and attack the enemy, dealing intense damage, initial 20%.
As time goes by, with each brief sonic boom, the proficiency of 【Violent Throw】continuously increases; Primary 21%……32%……37%……46%……68%……84%……
Gradually, Liang Jing discovered some limitations of the 【Violent Throw】 skill, such as the current primary 【Violent Throw】 skill aiming, which is like an infrared dot that others can't see, less than 1 cm in size, and can only appear within a range of 100 meters. Beyond this distance, it's not that the 【Violent Throw】 has no effect, but rather that there is no aiming device to provide, and the attack intensity decreases according to physical inertia, and accuracy requires one's own grasp. For a novice like Liang Jing, anything beyond 100 meters is basically just grasping at air.
Waaah! Waaah! Waaah!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With a sudden cracking sound, followed by the sound of shattering pottery; three mutated rats, closest to Liang Jing, with sharp teeth and claws, screeching incessantly, their bodies roughly the size of a small dog, suddenly convulsed, their long snouts shattered upwards, splashing blood and flesh everywhere. This immediately triggered a commotion among the nearby rat pack, who were then devoured by their companions, even the smallest bones were largely gone, seemingly gnawed into the stomachs of the mutated rats.
Time slowly passed, the sun began to move slowly westward, Zhang Hu and others had already escaped far away, gradually deviating from the direction of the mouse tide. The mutated black-backed dog (zombie) wearing clothes that didn't match also followed them under the sun, it was no longer able to help Liang Jing in the mouse tide, it was better off following Zhang Hu and others to prepare for unexpected situations. Under the overwhelming momentum of the mouse tide, under Ling Qinghe's colorful gaze, Liang Jing's movements became more steady, he grasped it very well, almost every shot hitting the head of a mutated rat, intermittently attacking rats 100 meters away, then 50 meters away, and sometimes the ones closest to him. He controlled it very well, without triggering the anger of the mutated mouse group, his hatred was controlled perfectly, not worse than the MT in previous games.
Looking at the surging tide of mice behind him, under the scorching sun, it turned into a flowing air current that evaporated and cooled; ordinary people would probably turn their heads to look back and be frightened, with weak hands and feet that wouldn't listen to commands. Liang Jing himself was firm and decisive, at first his hands and feet were a bit numb, but as he slowly adapted, he became calm and composed, facing the thousands of mice without changing color, majestic and unyielding. He also didn't know how there could be so many mice in the nearby industrial area that would produce mutations, it was truly terrifying to hear, Liang Jing thought to himself.
Watching 【Violent Throw】 primary proficiency is about to be full, Liang Jing's facial lines have also become much more rounded, and the steel beads hit the forehead of the mutant rat one by one, then burst into a brilliant blood-colored flower.
Waaah! Waaah! Waaah!
Squeak!
As Liang Jing threw the steel ball again, a shrill and harsh voice that was even more piercing than the other mutant rats drilled into Liang Jing's ears, extremely high-pitched, causing Liang Jing's face to turn grave in an instant, as if facing a great enemy, his heart screaming:
BOSS, only a monster above ordinary monsters can have such mighty equipment!!
Ling Qinghe had been paying attention to Liang Jing, seeing Liang Jing's face turn solemn after hearing the loud and sharp cry earlier. For a moment, her own face also tensed up. Earlier, she hadn't spoken or disturbed Liang Jing in any way, fearing that it would distract him and lead to something bad happening. Now, she didn't dare make a sound.
Liang Jing Meng turned his head, only to see a mutated rat the size of a leopard ten meters away, baring its teeth and brandishing its claws at him. Its expression was ferocious and bloodthirsty, with an aura that made one's hair stand on end. The fur on its body was a deep, glossy black, like steel needles, extremely tough and resilient. Its limbs and paws were much thicker than those of ordinary mutated rats, giving off a more brutal and powerful impression. Its claws and teeth were long and sharp, gleaming with a cold light that made one's scalp tingle, as if the edge of a blade was pressed against their skin. The two small eyes shone brightly, filled with an angry glare, clearly indicating that Liang Jing's actions had been under its observation.
Jiang Jing casually said: A basic insight
"Steelix: Pink Rare Monster, Level 10, evolved from Rattata. Its steel-like fur reduces damage received, possesses brutal strength, explosive power, claws and teeth that can shatter gold and split stones, a ferocious and perfect hunter, defensive power explosion gathered, extremely dangerous."
Innate Skills:
"Savage Burst: Instantly burst out latent potential quantity speed greatly increased, ferocious collision or escape."
Powdered monster!
Rare monster!
Top-grade equipment item!
Liáng Jìng's eyes lit up, this is a great thing; Powdered rare monsters are beyond the ordinary white monster, green elite monster, blue BOSS monster, golden BOSS monster and other levels of hierarchy. Their abilities vary in strength and weakness, they are anomalies within their own kind, with some being weaker than ordinary white monsters, but others being no weaker than golden BOSS-level monsters. More importantly, their drop rate is very high, and it's easy to obtain special items with extraordinary abilities, which is what Liáng Jìng has been craving the most.
And this can basically be said to be the first time Liang Jing saw a monster with a body skill!
Yeah, it's just Liang Jing's one-sided wish. After all, it's just a gray skill dropped by a low-level white monster, barely usable against elite monsters, and for blue BOSS or higher monsters, it can only reveal a rough idea, without too much detailed data.
Squeak!
The steel mouse is now standing upright, its hind legs standing, and its front paws are constantly waving towards Liang Jing, looking extremely angry, wanting to rush over to kill Liang Jing, but unfortunately, there are all mutant mice in front of it, making progress difficult and slow.
It's not the opponents that are like gods that I fear, it's teammates who are like pigs.
