Chapter 569 A Second Monster’s Group Attack

Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

Using up all the bullets in his gun, Luke made the five or so shadows lunging at him howl and fall back. He shouted, “Focus your firepower on the end of the passage!”

At the same time, he swung the ornamental spear in his left hand at a shadow that was lunging at his head.

Bam! The spear sent the shadow crashing into a nearby wall.

It was a monster that was all black and looked like a cross between a lizard and a dinosaur.

Luke didn’t waste any more time on the creature. He simply strode forward and fired nonstop with the pistol in his right hand.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! At the front of the passage, the shadows that had just stuck their heads out roared again at the gunfire and hid behind the wall.

At the same time, Luke pressed the release button. As the empty clip slipped out, he flicked his ammo pouch with his little finger, and a clip shot out.

He abruptly pulled his pistol back at that moment, and the spinning clip slipped precisely into the empty chamber. Pressing the gun to his chest, the clip was locked and loaded, and Luke instantly swung his gun around.

Bang! Bang!

The black monster that had fallen to the side earlier had just struggled back to its feet, when it was shot in its wide open mouth.

It howled and fell again, writhing on the ground until it gradually stopped moving.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Luke charged to the front of the passage and continued firing at two black monsters that were tangled up with the exploration team. The monsters, who had just pounced on and bitten two team members, jerked as they were hit, and fluid sprayed out of their bodies. However, they were unwilling to abandon their prey, and continued to drag the team members away into the mouth of the dark passage.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One of the black monsters howled in pain and broke away, spraying bodily fluid everywhere.

Luke’s expression was cold as he spun and whipped it with the spear in his left hand, instantly sending it flying back down the passage. His spear didn’t stop there as it continued in a semi-circular movement and pierced the spindle-like head of the other black monster, nailing it to the wall where it continued to twitch slightly. When he was done, Luke put his pistol away and grabbed Stafford’s HK416. He then threw his submachine gun and the clips to Stafford. “Organize a retreat.”

As he spoke, he didn’t forget to take the ammo hanging off Stafford’s chest. He suddenly swung around and pulled the trigger as he aimed at the top of the passage.

Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!

Putong! Putong!

Two black monsters that had just scuttled out from in-between the rampants were directly shot in the head.

The HK416 was definitely much more powerful than pistols or submachine guns.

Since they were only twenty meters away, they were shot accurately three times each in their wide open mouths, and the powerful rifle bullets instantly destroyed their brains.

Insta-kill!

As Luke fired, he quickly faced the front again.

Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang! Another two black monsters fell from the top of the passage. They roared and struggled for a moment before retreating.

Narrowing his eyes, Luke yelled, “Their skulls are too hard. Aim for the bodies!”

Because of the angle, his shots hadn’t directly penetrated the black monsters’ brains, but only blew up their mouths, so they were still jumping around as they ran off. What frightening vigor and sturdiness!

Luke changed his posture at that moment and fired nonstop with the gun in his right hand.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Two black monsters appeared at the end of the passage, but their heads rocked at being hit and they retreated.

It couldn’t be helped. It hurt to be hit in the head!

Luke sensed that there were more than twenty black monsters at the end of the passage looking for an opportunity to charge in.

“Take turns opening fire and shut down the end of the passage,” he yelled. Taking out the military knife on his thigh, he then cut open the strap on his tactical vest and pulled the vest off.

Flipping the knife around, he sliced off a large piece of skin and flesh from his right arm.

The piece of flesh was black, and even as it fell to the ground, it melted into a gooey fluid.

Enduring the excruciating pain, Luke activated Elementary Self-Healing and at the same time spent 20,000 credit points to learn the Elementary Limb Regeneration which he had just acquired.

The blood gushing from his right arm instantly stopped, and there was a strong itchy sensation.

No longer paying attention to his wound, Luke said to Stafford, “Their bodily fluid is very corrosive. Make sure not to touch it.”

As he spoke, he continued firing the HK416 and blew up two more monsters that were trying to break into the passage.

Stafford couldn’t look any more awful.

He had actually already noticed it before Luke’s warning

When Luke killed the two black monsters that had caught the two team members earlier, a lot of fluid had sprayed out before they died.

Including the team members that had been caught, four men had died screaming.

The bodily fluid had corroded through the bodies of the team members at a visible speed, and was extremely horrifying.

When Luke killed the two black monsters behind him, only a few drops of the fluid touched him, and it had only been for a few seconds.

Fortunately, he reacted fast enough and dodged most of it so that only a small amount touched him.

His extraordinary physique and his Elementary Self-Healing helped to withstand the corrosion, so he didn’t melt the way the team members had.

He cut off the flesh on his right arm that had come in contact with the fluid without hesitation precisely because of the corrosive effect.

What he didn’t know was how these black monsters were related to the three creatures in helmets.

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Luke didn’t stop firing, and killed four black monsters that had just appeared at the end of the passage. However, none of these creatures were killed instantly, and two even managed to retreat.

It wasn’t because Luke had missed, but because those monsters’ heads were so hard that even a rifle bullet couldn’t penetrate them in one shot.

“Ammo,” Luke yelled.

Stafford promptly handed over all the ammo he was carrying

He had realized that Luke was a great marksman.

The four bodyguards that remained were less of a threat to the black monsters than Luke was to the monsters with his gun.

As he passed over the ammo, he instructed the team members who didn’t know how to fight to retreat, while he had the bodyguards control their gunfire, making sure to aim before they fired.

They didn’t have much ammo on them. After all, this was supposed to be an exploration mission.

Stafford wasn’t an idiot.

If they ran out of ammo, they would have to fight the black monsters at close range. Based on the team members who had been killed by the monsters and those who melted in half from the bodily fluid, Stafford prayed it wouldn’t come to that.

Finally, what was left of the exploration team retreated to the end of the passage behind Luke, and there was a lot less pressure on him.

Now, the black monsters could only find another way round if they wanted to attack since Luke would take them down if they charged out to the front.
