Chapter 413 A Shot Like Gua Sha
At this moment, Ivan and Lin Zhennan also faced the two strange creatures head-on.
These two bizarre, level three creatures, one in front of the other, with a distance of no more than ten meters between them, resembled a pair of well-coordinated hunters, slithering at high speed close to the ground.
"Is it some kind of burrowing monster?" Lin Zhennan was a bit of a headache; this thing was not easy to deal with.
"They're here!" Ivan didn't seem to think much of it.
"You take the lead in the attack, and I'll provide support," Lin Zhennan said.
Ivan glanced at him and nodded.
Although he is only a Sequence 2, he can still withstand Sequence 3 without any problem.
However, it's a bit difficult to get him to provide much output.
The two did not exchange any further words.
The ground beneath their feet began to tremble.
It was very faint, like a heavy truck passing by in the distance.
But they both knew that there were no trucks on this wasteland, only something unseen approaching from deep underground.
Ivan stopped, squatted down, and placed his right hand on the ground.
His sequence is [Iron Guardian], and the characteristics of Sequence 2 are simple and straightforward - hardened body, guarding the original shield, and comrade's amplification.
"They're here!" Lin Zhennan shouted in a low voice as well. This time, they were really here.
The ground suddenly bulged up, and two gray-white figures burst out of the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Those were two bizarre creatures resembling giant rats, each over five meters long, covered with grayish-white ring-shaped shells, somewhat like pangolins, but their appearance was definitely seven-tenths similar to rats.
The two strange creatures immediately separated and enjoyed their respective "buffets" the moment they appeared.
This is naturally advantageous for Lin Zhennan and his companion.
"separate!"
Before Lin Zhennan's voice had even finished, his figure had already moved several meters to the left.
Ivan leaped away in the opposite direction, and as he raised his right hand from the ground, a semi-transparent, metallic-looking circular shield had already materialized in his palm.
Guard the original shield.
This is his core characteristic, and his skin also has a silvery-gray metallic sheen.
The creature on the left lunged at Lin Zhennan with incredible speed, its five-meter-long body leaving a deep trench in the ground.
Instead of retreating, Lin Zhennan advanced, unleashing the full power of his Knight Rank at this moment.
A pale golden halo appeared on his body, his muscles bulged slightly, and he looked like a long sword drawn from its sheath.
He did not use a weapon.
Or rather, his body is a weapon.
Knight Charge.
Lin Zhennan's figure accelerated to its maximum speed in an instant, colliding head-on with the eerie giant rat.
boom--
With a dull thud, the strange forward momentum was abruptly stopped, but neither of them were significantly affected.
The only effect was that Lin Zhennan got close, and his long sword slashed across the giant rat, sending sparks flying.
This is the frustration of having a low rank in the Knight tier; their attacks are like scraping a scathing wound.
However, Ivan was even more skilled at gua sha than him.
The giant rat that attacked him was quite accommodating; it opened its mouth and bit directly into the shield Ivan was holding.
"Sizzle"
It was as smooth as a file cutting through iron filings, giving him the illusion of something silky.
It was as if what he held in his hand wasn't a metal shield, but a lump of dough.
"Watch out, his teeth are very sharp!" Ivan warned.
At the same time, Lin Zhennan was given a layer of "Fuze", which is a defensive buff.
Although the effect seems mediocre so far, it at least saves Lin Zhennan from losing a lot of weight.
"How about we send another one?" Tashan felt a pang of sympathy seeing his good brothers suffering.
"No rush, let's take another look!"
Fu Xiaojian said that this mission was originally intended to train troops, and if we give up easily, then all our previous efforts will be wasted.
"Damn it, this thing is really hard!" Lin Zhennan cursed, dodging the giant rat's sweeping tail, and slashed its belly with his longsword.
laugh--
This sword strike still failed to break through the defense.
On the one hand, the giant rat's armor provides good protection.
On the other hand, the giant rat's eyes were too small, and he was dodged several times when he tried to attack, which made things a bit tricky.
Meanwhile, Ivan, a Sequence 2, could do even less; he had already done his best to block the giant rat's bites and claws.
It would be asking too much of him to do anything more.
"Old Lin, let's try a different approach!" Ivan's voice came from the other side, slightly panting.
This can't go on.
Being laughed at is secondary; the real problem is getting into trouble if we can't handle these two weirdos.
He had already been forced back more than ten meters by the giant rat, and the Guardian Shield in his hand was covered with dense teeth marks.
The Iron Guardian sequence is characterized by defense, not offense.
Lin Zhennan's attack also came to a standstill at this time.
If the two don't cooperate, they might actually be defeated one by one by the two giant rats.
"How do I change it?" Lin Zhennan dodged the giant rat's attack by sidestepping it, and swept his longsword across, leaving a shallow white mark on its ring-shaped carapace.
"I'll carry it, you hit me?"
"Can you handle it?"
"Give it a try..."
The two retreated closer and closer.
If Lin Zhennan were to launch a strong attack, the other side would flank him from the side.
If Ivan tries to retreat, the other side will block his escape route.
These two giant rats were clearly not hunting together for the first time; one attacked and the other defended, their teamwork was as seamless as a well-trained duo.
They weren't given the opportunity to work together.
"Damn it, these two are even smarter than humans!" Lin Zhennan cursed, twirling his longsword in his hand before suddenly changing his stance.
Knight's Glory
His figure accelerated to its maximum speed in an instant, his whole body enveloped in a pale golden halo, and he was like a sword drawn from its sheath, crashing straight into the head of the giant rat in front of him.
He used all his strength in that attack.
The giant rat clearly hadn't expected this human, who had been constantly scratching, to suddenly erupt. Unable to dodge in time, it was struck head-on by Lin Zhennan, sword and all.
boom--
With a dull thud, the giant rat's massive body was forcefully flipped over, rolling twice on the ground to reveal its soft belly.
There was no carapace covering it, only a thin layer of grayish-white down.
These were the only two weaknesses that Lin Zhennan discovered, but they had been well protected by the giant rat.
"Go! Burrow underground!"
Ivan was too slow; he had originally intended to cut off the route of another giant rat reinforcement by blocking their way in time.
However, the giant rat's tactical skills far exceeded his expectations, and a single burrowing into the ground thwarted his plans.
However, the knight, blessed with glory, was even faster, and the moment his belly was exposed, swords gushed forth like a spring.
Lin Zhennan finally delivered a decisive blow before another giant rat could arrive to provide support.
The moment the sword tip pierced the grayish-white down, the sensation changed from "scraping" to "cutting butter."
The longsword pierced through the thin defense without any resistance, disappearing all the way to the hilt.
The giant rat let out a sharp screech, its massive body convulsed violently, and its six short legs clawed wildly in the air.
It tried to escape, but Lin Zhennan didn't give it a chance.
Strike Storm.
The longsword churned wildly inside the giant rat's belly, each thrust bringing out a spray of dark fluid.
The bodily fluids fell to the ground, making a hissing, corrosive sound, and burning small, smoking pits into the cracked earth.
"Get out of the way!"
Ivan's voice boomed from the side; he intended to ram the giant rats that were coming to support him, but he was too late.
However, Lin Zhennan instinctively rolled to the side, and almost at the same moment, a giant rat opened its huge mouth and bit him from where he landed.
