Chapter 59: Swamp Monsters
"Elven Saintess, it's time for us to get out of here!" the guard reached over, grabbed Denisha by the collar, and hurriedly carried Dinisha on her back, then quickly turned the horse's head and fled frantically in the direction from which she came.
He calculated time and distance, hoping to get out of the dead forest before the monster caught up.
Running for their lives along the way, the horsewhip kept whipping on the horse's buttocks, and the two of them, one big and one small, were staring at everything around them all the time, for fear that the monster would suddenly kill them from a certain angle and kill them both.
Ahead, the light suddenly lit up, and they finally ran to the edge of the dead forest, as long as they could escape from the dead forest, there would be no more fog and monsters outside!
The light of hope is just around the corner.
"Hmm!"
Suddenly!
A long piece of long black hair twisted together flew out from behind them, and then pulled at the guard's face, and in order to prevent the guard from opening a warning, a large mass of long black hair directly covered his mouth.
"Woo!woo!woo!!"
The guard struggled to untie the long hair covering his mouth, but he didn't want more long black hair to come out from behind and head straight for the guard's position.
A large mass of long black hair, like a long worm, wrapped around the whole body of the guard, wandering and crawling everywhere on him, like a living thing, the guard's whining hands and feet were constantly struggling, trying to resist the gradually increasing binding force of the long black hair, but the monster obviously didn't give him a chance, and all of a sudden, it dragged him into the depths of the dead woods, only the screams that remained in the air.
"You... What about people?"
After the second guard was also captured by the monster, Denisha didn't dare to look back at all, she was most afraid that there would be a monster staring at her behind her, she screamed in fright, waved the reins, and closed her eyes, like a headless fly, just driving the war horse vigorously, running in one direction.
Outside the dead woods, it was the hottest time of the sun, it was 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and Denisha had just run out on her war horse, but a man and a horse and two heads appeared, and she was hooked by a large mass of long black hair that erupted from behind her, and dragged back with the people and horses.
The cries of Denisha and the neighing of the horses resounded through the place, but there was nothing but a few strands of blonde hair, which hung from the branch of a dead tree in the outermost part.
On this side of the swamp, Zhang Liang, the dwarf captain, and the old butler ran over with the army to check the situation, the miasma here was very heavy, covering the sky above, and the light was dim, but everyone did not dare to light the torches at all, they knew in their hearts that once the torches were lit, the miasma would explode, and a large number of people would die here.
Zhang Liang went down to the edge of a small swamp, leaned down, dipped his fingers in the mud, and came closer to take a closer look, and then the two fingers rubbed back and forth for a while, just ordinary silt.
The large number of tumbling blisters reported earlier, as well as the rising heat, Zhang Liang and the others did not notice at all, as if nothing had happened.
"How can this be? There was still a big blister rolling around here just now, like, like..." A soldier who had seen the abnormality muttered to himself, but could not find anything.
"It's like, the whole swamp has been boiled into boiling water, isn't it?" Zhang Liang said to the soldier.
The soldier nodded again and again, and said eagerly: "That's right, it's boiling water, gurgling from the depths of the swamp, and there are many blisters, and some of the blisters even float up, out of the swamp, until they float into the air!"
"But, look at it now, there's nothing here!" The dwarven captain widened his eyes and looked around, but there was no movement, and subconsciously said, "It's too calm here, shouldn't it?"
"That's right, it's too calm, it's impossible not to have any movement, and I just reported the situation, and some soldiers were swallowed up in the swamp and sank, at least some blisters had to come out. Zhang Liang frowned, he looked everywhere, but he still didn't find anything at all.
"It's not good, there must be a demon when things go wrong, let's retreat first, and then we'll talk about it when we get out of here!"
Zhang Liang suddenly sensed a hint of conspiracy and hurriedly urged people to leave here, but just as they were about to retreat, two dark green withered hands suddenly appeared on the ground under their feet!
"There's someone underground!"
The old housekeeper was the first to notice the problem, his ankles had been grabbed by dry hands, and he was very strong, and the old housekeeper was stunned and couldn't break free from the control of his dry hands.
"Kill them!"
The captain of the dwarves quickly loaded the bullet and raised his musket to the ground, which was a smoke bullet, and with the slamming of the musket, a large amount of flames erupted, and the ground turned out a large area of mud.
A dark green head flashed underground, and the dwarven captain's sharp eyes, he had fought this kind of thing at close range, and immediately shouted, "It's them!
"We've been tricked, get out of here first!" Zhang Liang roared wildly, pinching the trick with both hands, like playing cards, and flew out a large piece of rune paper, and the rune paper that flew all over the sky turned into spontaneous combustion, turning into flamingos, and struck the ground.
After each flamingo hit the ground, it exploded violently, and the sound of the explosion was endless, and the silt ground was blown up by the flamingo everywhere with potholes and unrecognizable.
"Help me!" the dwarven captain had time to cry out for help before he was dragged deep into the ground by the lizardman monster, and the place where he had been standing had turned into a mass of mud.
"I see, these lizardmen monsters have the talent or skill to turn hard ground into swampy silt ground!
The old butler roared wildly, and immediately struck, and he leapt to his feet and slammed into the muddy ground where the dwarven captain had been dragged away.
It's just that his attack attribute is to take a strong route, and when dealing with hard ground, he can also smash a big hole out with one punch, but it has no effect at all against this soft silt ground.
"We must save him, he is our main combat power!"
Zhang Liang pinched again, commanded the flamingos circling and flying overhead, and began to fly down, heading straight for the muddy ground where the dwarf captain was dragged away.
Boom! Boom!
The muddy ground was blown up, and large swaths of silt were sprayed out, and sure enough, the dwarven captain's figure was being dragged.
"Goo!"
The lizardman monster that was dragging the dwarf captain sensed the gaze from above, raised its head, and let out a threatening cry towards Zhang Liang and the others, and then accelerated the speed of dragging the dwarf captain.
Zhang Liang's eyes shone with purple light: "Even if I plough the ground for ten miles, I will blow up your monster!"
