Chapter 98: Testing the Durian Warrior
After knocking Ma Weidong down, the Durian Warrior did not continue to tangle with him, instead fleeing into the distance along the corridor.
Facing the fleeing Durian Warrior, Ma Weidong wanted to draw the Magnum Pistol at his waist to kill the Durian Warrior.
But because Ma Weidong was too weak now, lying on the ground and even lifting his arm was difficult, how could he possibly be able to hold a gun?
Li Yu saw Ma Weidong's predicament and took out the Magnum Pistol for him, wanting to shoot and kill the fleeing Durian Warrior.
But just at this moment, the Durian Warrior had already turned the corner at the intersection ahead, causing Li Yu's consecutive shots to miss.
Hengli Qiao wanted to press the attack, but was stopped by Li Yu, which made Hengli Qiao feel puzzled, so he asked, "What's wrong, Li?"
Li Yu explained, "You saw that monster's state just now, right? Just as we were about to finish it off, this monster suddenly turned bright red all over, after which its strength and speed increased greatly.
And after quickly knocking down Mr. Ma, it leaped across this fifty-meter-long cross-corridor in the blink of an eye. You think about it, why didn't this monster kill us in return at that time, but instead chose to flee?"
Hengli Qiao said dismissively, "So what? Maybe it felt it had no chance to finish us off, so it chose to flee?"
Li Yu retorted, "But don't forget, this monster is just a puppet of the Supervisor. Don't forget the deduction Mr. Leiqi Batuo made on the Temporary Channel; the Supervisor has two such puppets, maybe..."
"Oh, enough! Mr. Li!" Hengli Qiao interrupted Li Yu, "This is not an excuse for you to shrink back! It is precisely because this monster is powerful that we should destroy it ourselves even more! Only in this way can we ensure our survival rate in this Dungeon..."
During their argument, Su Yao came to Ma Weidong's side to perform treatment.
……………
The Durian Warrior kept running, not stopping even though its body began to catch fire. Finally, after passing two intersections, it successfully arrived in front of Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan.
Seeing Zhao Yuxin, the Durian Warrior also completed Zhao Yuxin's order to rendezvous with her, after which the bead inside its body shattered with a bang at this moment, and the Durian Warrior fell straight down.
Looking at the fallen Durian Warrior, Zhao Yuxin said with heartache, "Ah~ Ajiu, look, one of the plants I newly created is gone!"
Zhu Zhiquan pointed at the Durian Warrior following behind and said flatly, "Hey, isn't there still one left? How many resources could one Durian Warrior possibly need?"
"But... one Durian Warrior used up about half the metal in my backpack, as well as three Liaobiyan cores." Zhao Yuxin said, putting her hands behind her back, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Zhu Zhiquan widened his eyes, looked at the last Durian Warrior behind him, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Looking at this silly, simple-minded Durian Warrior, Zhu Zhiquan asked curiously, "Azhao, how is this thing's combat power? It wouldn't be a piece of trash like the Ice Cream Cactus, would it?"
Zhao Yuxin rolled her eyes at him and said to Zhu Zhiquan, "Like this, why don't you stab it with the Xuangang Spear?"
After hearing this, Zhu Zhiquan picked up the Xuangang Spear and stabbed the Durian Warrior several times in a row, but after stabbing, there wasn't even a mark on the Durian Warrior's armor.
Zhao Yuxin took out a piece of Buli again and lightly brushed it across the Durian Warrior's armor, and subsequently, this piece of Buli was torn into many holes by the thorns on the Durian Warrior's armor.
This left Zhu Zhiquan shocked, while Zhao Yuxin raised her head with a proud face, then pulled Zhu Zhiquan to sit on a table together, signaling the Durian Warrior to lift them up along with the table.
After the Durian Warrior came before them, it exerted force suddenly and lifted them up along with the table.
When the Durian Warrior slowly set them down, the look in Zhu Zhiquan's eyes when he looked at it changed. Immediately, he thought of another question, which was how exactly did the players damage the Durian Warrior?
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhiquan began to carefully observe the Durian Warrior in front of him and discovered that there were gaps of varying sizes between the armor on its different parts.
This might be a weakness of the Durian Warrior, but thinking of the one just now immediately overturned this viewpoint.
After all, if it were defeated through the armor gaps, then there would never be a possibility of letting the Durian Warrior escape.
Then he looked at the fallen Durian Warrior; at this time, the flames on this Durian Warrior's body began to extinguish, and Zhu Zhiquan was not a chemistry major and could not see any clues.
Zhao Yuxin saw Zhu Zhiquan's confusion regarding the Durian Warrior and explained, "First of all, there is a Core in the chest position of the Durian Warrior. This Core is the Durian Warrior's energy source; once destroyed, the Durian Warrior will die.
So in order to protect this Core, I deliberately increased the surrounding metal ratio when creating it to prevent it from being easily destroyed."
Zhu Zhiquan nodded as if he understood, and Zhao Yuxin continued to explain, "This Core can also enter Overload Mode. Although this mode can significantly increase combat power, once it enters Overload Mode, it cannot be deactivated, and you saw the result."
Zhu Zhiquan looked at the Durian Warrior that had turned into ashes, the corners of his mouth revealing a smile as if they were splitting open, and he said excitedly, "Very good, it seems there are powerful experts among the remaining players. When the time comes, I must personally go and trade blows with them!"
Zhao Yuxin sighed, "Alright, let's hurry and go. The Survivors are about to finish decoding the sixth computer, and as Supervisors, we must hurry over."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhiquan hurried toward the position of the Survivors closest to them. Before long, Zhao Yuxin pressed against a wall, and Zhu Zhiquan and the Durian Warrior remained silent.
Zhao Yuxin judged the situation inside the room by relying on the talent effect of the Bat Wing Ear and the sound waves produced by the players tapping on the keyboard.
Subsequently, Zhao Yuxin said, "Leave this Survivor to me, you go and take care of the other one."
Zhu Zhiquan's expression was somewhat worried, but he found it hard to speak out for fear that Zhao Yuxin would lose face.
Zhao Yuxin puffed out her chest and said, "Don't worry, with the Durian Warrior protecting me, isn't dealing with one player a piece of cake?"
Zhu Zhiquan looked at the Durian Warrior, and thinking back to the test just now, he didn't say anything else and leaned toward the position of the other player.
And Zhao Yuxin carefully opened the room door and entered the room on tiptoe together with the Durian Warrior.
And the person decoding in this room was none other than Ma Weidong. At this time, his progress in decoding the computer had already reached 93%, and at the same time, he would look back from time to time, only continuing to decode after confirming there was no danger.
But suddenly, Ma Weidong felt something was wrong. He turned his head to look and found that the doors and windows were all closed, and there was nothing wrong.
But that feeling of being stared at by someone became more and more intense, which made him lose the heart to decode.
So Ma Weidong got up, wanting to go out to relax, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Zhao Yuxin and that monster he couldn't break the defense of quietly approaching him.
So after a brief standoff between the two sides, they began to fight.
And outside the door, Zhu Zhiquan, who had turned back halfway, pressed his ear against the door, hearing the sounds of fighting inside, and broke into a cold sweat for Zhao Yuxin.
