Chapter 6: Wendigo

Quietness is the first impression of this forest. There are no chirping birds, no hissing of wild animals, the whole area is quiet, and no sound can be heard.

This is not normal, even in the bitter cold winter, the forest should not be so quiet, let alone it is autumn, and it is not the time when everything is completely silent.

The unusual quietness proved that Matthew was not lying, and there were indeed a group of Wendigo hidden in this forest.

These supernatural creatures mutated due to cannibalism, while gaining power, they also bear a curse. Their stomachs are like a bottomless pit, so that they can never be satisfied and suffer from hunger all the time.

Hungry, they will devour all living things within the range of the nest, even small bugs such as ants and crickets.

Therefore, the forest occupied by Wendigo is extremely quiet. The living things in the forest are either eaten up by them, or their breath has migrated out of this area.

In such a dead forest, any kind of sound seems abrupt, and the sound of Luo Ning's footsteps is no exception. The slight sound of trampling on dead leaves and cracking is extremely ear-piercing at this moment, constantly revealing his existence and position.

But Luo Ning didn't take it lightly, because it's useless to take it lightly. The forest is the home of Wendigo. It is almost impossible to attack them in the forest. We can only wait for them to come to the door on their own initiative. Come.

It's a pity that Luo Ning alone is far less attractive than the search and rescue team in front, so...

"Help!"

Luo Ning stopped in his tracks, listening to the faint voices coming from the depths of the dense forest, without the slightest wave in his eyes.

Monsters like Wendigo have a considerable degree of intelligence, so they are very cunning. They even imitate human voices to attract people into their traps.

Just like now, because of the large number of search and rescue teams, those Wendigos were not sure to eat them all. In order to prevent the search and rescue team from escaping from the forest after being attacked, they imitated the distress calls of the victims and prepared to send the search and rescue team The team led into the depths of the dense forest, and then launched an attack.

Although this method is old-fashioned, the effect is good, especially for these ordinary people who don't know anything, it is almost one-time-one-use.

Sure enough, after a while, the search and rescue team was attacked, piercing gunshots accompanied by horrified screams, the movement was quite intense, but Luo Ning was still unmoved, and had no intention of stepping forward to help.

Just kidding, in this situation, the shotguns in the hands of those people are definitely more dangerous than Wendigo's claws. Although Ronin is wearing a double-layer body armor, he has no idea of ​​tasting stray bullets.

...

The search and rescue team was small, including Sergeant Terry, there were only six members. Facing the hordes of Wendigo, they had no resistance at all, and it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out.

Sure enough, with a deep roar, the gunshots and screams in the depths of the forest quickly subsided, and everything returned to silence, and there was no more sound to be heard.

Ronin stayed where he was, waiting for the battle deep in the jungle to end, while counting the number of wendigo he would face later.

Now it's late autumn, and the harsh winter is coming. Many creatures are stockpiling food for the winter, and Wendigo is no exception. They not only need food to survive the winter, but also to breed new members.

Therefore, when winter is approaching, Wendigo will leave the forest, attack nearby villages or towns, capture humans and other living creatures, and bring them back to their nests as a winter food reserve.

There are a total of six members in the search and rescue team. If you want to transport them all back to the lair at one go, you need at least three Wendigos, and the number of Wendigos in a clan will basically not exceed ten, including the remaining elders in the lair. With the guards, what Luo Ning needs to face later should only be...

"About two to three, at most five."

With results in mind,

Luo Ning didn't stay any longer, and walked towards the direction where the search and rescue team was attacked just now, carrying the weapon box.

It was only early in the morning, and the sunlight in autumn was not as strong as in summer, and it couldn't penetrate the dense branches and leaves at all, so there was not enough light in the forest, and it was very dark.

Luo Ning went deep into it, and there was no road to walk on under his feet. He could only step forward on low shrubs and leprosy plants, and was limited by his vision, so his speed was not fast. It took a while to approach the attack site.

Suddenly, Luo Ning stopped and stopped in front of a pine tree. It could be seen that the thick trunk was full of marks left by sharp claws, and pine resin overflowed from it, like congealed blood. Very scary.

This is the trace left by Wendigo. They have powerful hook claws on their hands and feet, allowing them to easily climb on trees, and even use this to launch sneak attacks, attacking humans who strayed into the forest from a high place, just like……

"Ho!"

A huge shadow suddenly fell from the dense canopy of branches and leaves, carrying a gust of wind straight to the back of Luo Ning's head, but he didn't want to, Luo Ning moved faster, and turned over the moment the shadow fell, The weapon box in his left hand swung up, and slammed into the shadow heavily.

This weapon box was also made by Father Luo Ning. The main material is steel, mixed with silver and some metals that act in the mysterious field. It weighs 35 kilograms. Explosion effect to ensure that the items in the weapon box will not be damaged.

With Luo Ning's power, he picked up the weapon box. The lethality can only be described as amazing. The wendigo didn't even have time to react, so he smashed the box on the face of Luo Ning, and a blood mist exploded. Come, he was kicked out on the spot.

This time, if you were a human being, you would lose half your life if you didn’t die, but a Wendigo is a Wendigo. As a supernatural creature, its body is not only strong and agile, but also possesses mysterious qualities.

In legend, this evil monster is a symbol of cold and famine. Not only are they invulnerable to anything other than fire, but they also have eternal life and power.

Although the legends are all exaggerated, they are not all false. For monsters like the Wendigo, their mysterious traits are fear of flames, and they have strong resistance or even immunity to damage other than flames.

Therefore, Luo Ning's attack was not fatal to this wendigo, not even a serious injury, and it got up in a blink of an eye.

Only then did Luo Ning see its appearance clearly, just like what Matthew had described before, it had a roughly human shape, a huge skeleton, and a thin body. It seemed that there was only a layer of dead gray skin clinging to the bones. There was no flesh and blood, and the body exuded an extremely strong smell of blood and rancidity, like a living corpse that had just crawled out of a grave.

Its face is even more horrifying. The shriveled skin tightly wraps the face, the eye sockets are deeply sunken, and the yellow-gray pupils inside have a turbid texture, as if there will be pus overflowing at any time. When he came out, the lower half of his face was covered with bright red blood stains, highlighting the extreme horror of the canine-toothed bloody mouth.

Of course, for Luo Ning, the limbs of this monster are the key points, especially the pair of arms, which are as thick and huge as a giant ape, fully hanging down to the knees, and the ten fingers deformed into curved claws, which are full of flesh and blood The crumbs and dirt of unknown composition can be seen to be extremely lethal.

Just now, Luo Ning's attack left a sunken mark on the face of this Wendigo, from which sticky blood and turbid juice overflowed, making people feel nauseated.

This injury is not serious to Wendigo, but it has deeply stimulated it. I saw this terrifying monster half-bent, roaring like a wolf, and its gray-yellow pupils stared at him. Looking at Luo Ning, there was indescribable hunger, thirst and greed in his eyes.

The instinct of the body is telling it that the human in front of it is more delicious than all the food it has eaten before, as long as it eats him, it will be satisfied and become stronger.

eat him!

eat him!

eat him!

Driven by hunger and instinctive pursuit, this wendigo launched an attack brazenly. Its emaciated and withered body burst out with great strength, like a cheetah pouncing on its prey, and rushed towards Luo Ning ferociously.

With Wendigo's physique and strength, it is basically difficult for the prey that is thrown down by it to resist effectively. Even an adult grizzly bear with rough skin and thick flesh can't resist its sharp and powerful teeth. The neck was bitten off by it, and he died quickly from blood loss and suffocation.

However……

"boom!"

A loud noise resounded in the quiet dense forest, and the flying wendigo was blasted out at a faster speed than before, crashing into a bush behind.

"Crack!"

With one hand, Luo Ning put down the weapon box and reached for his waist, and with the other hand, he swung and spun the shotgun, which was still emitting wisps of green smoke, and pulled out the silver eagle at the same time as the loading was completed.

Luo Ning's speed was extremely fast, but the Wendigo's movements were not slow either. With a roar, it rushed out of the bushes and rushed towards Luo Ning again.

At this time, if someone freezes the time and observes carefully, they will definitely find that there is an extra scar covering a large area on Wendigo's chest, which is the damage caused by the shotgun.

It's a pity that the damage was not serious, and it didn't even penetrate its outer skin defense. A large number of projectiles were embedded in the dead gray skin, being slowly squeezed out under the action of a force.

This is the mysterious quality. Under the influence of supernatural mysterious power, Wendigo's body has super toughness. Even if the modified and strengthened Winchester M1887 in Ronin's hand is powerful enough to kill an adult brown bear, It cannot be effectively damaged.

Fortunately, Luo Ning had already expected this, so he was not surprised by the result of the shot, and his position was not chaotic at all. Facing the frantically rushing Wendigo, he pulled the trigger of Silver Eagle.

"boom!"

The roar of this gun was more intense than before, like the roar of a giant beast, full of unparalleled sense of power, and bright red flame poured out from the muzzle of the gun, instantly illuminating the dark forest.

"Crack!"

As the gun flames poured out, a dark red light burst out, and the Wendigo who was running towards him was instantly knocked to the ground, screaming in pain like a wounded beast.

It can be seen that on its left calf, there is a wound caused by a bullet, and the super tough skin has been broken through.

magic shot

Level: LV1+1=LV2 (style core skill, any style skill level cannot exceed this skill level)

Introduction: Stimulate magic power, inject firearms, improve firearm performance, enhance firearm power, and add magic damage effect to bullets, making it ignore the effects of extraordinary power and mysterious characteristics to a certain extent (according to different firearms, mana consumption will increase or decrease accordingly)

Magic shooting, the core skill of the gun god style, is also the only skill that Luo Ning has learned so far. It can inject magic power into firearms, improve various performances of firearms, and endow bullets with magic damage effects. Ignore the effect of the occult trait.

Just like the wendigo in front of me, its mysterious qualities endow it with resistance to all damage other than flames, so much so that Ronin's shotgun can't even penetrate its skin until it is shot with magic power. It deals effective damage.

In Luo Ning's view, ignoring the mysterious traits is the core of this skill. Other performance improvements and power enhancements are just icing on the cake, because in this world, many extraordinary creatures are not powerful, but the mysterious traits Existence makes them extremely dangerous.

Vampires are an example. Except for some ancient bloodlines, the fighting power of most vampires is not much stronger than that of ordinary people. In theory, Ronin can kill ten of such vampires with one hand, but in actual combat, if Without a weapon specific to his characteristics, he was definitely the one who fled in the face of ten fully armed vampire soldiers.

There is no way, fight, but not die, consume, but not, what else can I do if I don't escape?

Therefore, magic shooting ignores the role of mysterious traits, which is of great significance, especially for a lone ranger like Luo Ning, who has no team support or organizational help. No matter what situation he encounters, he can only rely on himself. What is needed is the comprehensive capability of this application.
