Chapter 309: Means
"Let's go! Come on! Shen Hao's face also changed, he picked up Shi Yuxuan horizontally and ran wildly. Although he didn't dare to use the rampage form casually, now that Shen Hao was accelerating with all his strength, he was not much slower than an ordinary family car. Deep footprints burst out on the side of the bluestone-paved road, and under the dust, Shi Yuxuan felt like she was riding a wild horse that was out of control.
As if sensing the prey trying to break out of the encirclement, the footsteps in the darkness instantly became urgent, and it began to be accompanied by the roars of some unknown creatures. Shi Yuxuan turned over, climbed onto Shen Hao's back, lit up the torch in Shen Hao's hand with one hand, and handed the leather shield to his hand with the other.
Then the faint glow of the torches. Shi Yuxuan could already see the figures behind him, wielding weapons of different lengths in his hands, chasing after them. It's just that the running movements of these figures seem a little weird, the lower body strides forward hard, but the upper body sways like a drunk person, but despite this, it just won't fall, but the speed is quite not slow. This is also Shen Hao's level, if it is replaced by someone else, maybe they will catch up in a minute.
The violet miasma around the two of them had completely dissipated, and the surroundings were once again obscured by black mist. Shen Hao was running wildly, and he was rapidly estimating in his heart. Mologan City is not a large city, and after running along the avenue facing the city gate for so long, it should have at least half the distance now. Just thinking about it, the vision in front of them suddenly emptied, the buildings on both sides disappeared, and a stone knight statue tens of meters high appeared in front of them, obviously they had rushed to the knight's square in the center of Mologan City.
"Hula-" The sharp sound of breaking the air suddenly came, Shen Hao didn't need Shi Yuxuan to remind him, his body suddenly swirled, and the shield in his hand blocked back. I only heard a tooth-aching grinding sound of "squeak", as if four sharp blades were slashed side by side, and a series of sparks sparked on the scales of the golden bull on the shield surface.
Shen Hao had already seen the incoming enemy clearly, it was a thin strange man who was nearly two meters tall, shrouded in a gray robe, and the claws protruding from the sleeve robe were as thin as wood, but sharp as a hook. The skin was unhealthy blue-purple, there was not a single hair on the top of the head, and a pair of blood-red strange eyes looked very evil.
The one-claw sneak attack failed, and the strange man grinned and let out an ugly strange laugh, and in the cracked lips, a pair of half-foot-long canine teeth bulged out, this image immediately reminded Shen Hao of the legendary Western vampire.
However, whether it was a real vampire or not, Shen Hao would not stop there, and after blocking the other party's sneak attack, the leather shield was lifted outward. The vampire monster screamed, and before it could cover its face with both hands, it was whipped by the shield, and the already ugly and inhuman-like face was suddenly smashed into a dent, and its body was pumped out like a ball dozens of meters away.
At this time, the sound of breaking the air in the air became even more intense, and I saw more than a dozen black shadows traversing the mysterious flight trajectory into the lighting range of the torch. Shen Hao fixed his eyes and saw that they were all gray-haired bats the size of cats. These bats approached within a meter of the two of them, and their size instantly increased, and in the blink of an eye, they also became the same vampire-like weirdos as they had just been.
"Hey, what a vampire." Shen Hao snorted lightly, and the sword in his hand danced out of a sword net in front of him, and the other claws of those vampires that grabbed the two of them were all cut into several pieces. The wounded vampires let out a scream, and their bodies turned into bats again and tried to retreat into the darkness.
However, Shen Hao was not fighting alone at the moment, Shi Yuxuan on his back took advantage of the opportunity of the other party being repulsed and suddenly straightened up, his hands came out, his ten fingers flicked again and again like a piano, and a stream of green qi shot out from her fingertips like sharp arrows. Although the vampires who turned into bats flew extremely fast and had extremely tricky trajectories, Shi Yuxuan's green qi ejected was as if it were alive, and it quickly and accurately caught up with their respective targets.
"Puff" sounded, more than a dozen bats turned into human forms and fell from the sky again, rolling and struggling on the ground in extreme pain, their original blue-purple skin curled and blackened, as if they were being burned by invisible flames. It only took a breath before the vampires stopped struggling, one by one curled up like charcoal.
Although it only took a few seconds to level out the dozen or so vampires, Shen Hao's breakthrough plan had been completely ruined. At the limit of the firelight, a large number of enemies surrounded them from all sides. At this time, the two of them really saw the appearance of the enemy clearly, and they couldn't help but feel a trace of discomfort in their hearts.
These enemies were roughly divided into two broad categories, the largest of which were the skeletons, the skeleton with a white forest staggering towards the two, some with spears in their hands, and most with only inferior swords, which were clearly the same weapons that the defenders of Mologan City were missing.
In addition to the skeleton soldiers, there are also some zombie warriors with stiff and dull movements, who still roughly maintain the appearance of humans, and judging from their clothing, they should all be residents of the original city. It's just that at this moment they are all highly rotted, and maggots and flies are burrowing in and out of them with impunity. Unlike the skeletons' more agile movements, the zombie warriors are very sluggish in their limbs, perhaps due to the effects of carrion on their bodies, or for other reasons, but their creepy appearance and equally sharp blades tell the enemy that it would be a terrible disaster to be bullied by them.
"It turned out to be the ......army of the undead of Tiga," Shi Yuxuan got down from Shen Hao's back and said in a low voice, "It seems that the so-called plague was dropped by them in Mologan City, killing a large number of humans and then creating low-level undead, this legendary evil country actually took advantage of the fire to loot at this time, no wonder the army of Erathia only dared to besiege the city outside, and they were not sure of it without the support of the main army." ”
"So, the darkness around you is the famous 'Dark Sky'?" Shen Hao stuck the torch on the towering knight's statue, causing the green and faint firelight to shine a little wider.
Dark Skydome, a special form of war magic from Tiga. Almost all the creatures of the continent of Ares have heard of its notoriety. This magic is not like those forbidden spells that have the power to destroy the world, but it is the main reliance that Tiga relies on to terrify the creatures of the world.
Under the dark canopy, all light will be obscured, and the five senses of the creatures that enter it will be suppressed to a minimum. On the contrary, within the scope of the dark canopy, all the undead seem to be like fish in water, their attack and defense power will be greatly improved, and if they can't be completely killed, then they can use the power of the darkness to repair the wounds of the body indefinitely, and any enemy fighting the undead under the dark canopy is almost a one-sided slaughter.
"Damn it......" Shen Hao gritted his teeth hatefully. Even if Mologan City is just a border city, there are as many as 100,000 residents and city guards living in the city, and even if half of them successfully escape from the city, the number of these low-level undead in front of them is an extremely terrifying number.
However, this is only the number of low-level undead. Diga even activated the dark canopy, and put a plague of the undead that was enough to destroy a city of humans at one time, so there must be many high-level undead hiding in the shadows. The ghosts and vampires that appeared before were obviously only tentative attacks, and in the thick and indissolvable darkness around them, I don't know how many pairs of cruel eyes were staring at the two of them.
"Sister Xuan, this kind of occasion can only rely on you." Shen Hao held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, protecting Shi Yuxuan behind him. The two of them leaned against the tall knight's statue, temporarily avoiding the danger of being attacked on their backs, but this battle with one enemy and ten thousand, even if the attackers rushed up in an orderly manner, it was not so easy to deal with.
"If it's all skeleton soldiers, I really can't help it, but since there are so many zombies, then we still have the strength to fight......" Shi Yuxuan's voice was not flustered, obviously there was a countermeasure in his chest. She pulled out the fanged dagger from her waist, gently grasped the sharp blade with her left hand, and with a gentle stroke, the white jade palm was immediately cut open with two deep wounds.
I saw her cherry lips squirm slightly, as if she was silently chanting something, and at the same time clenched her cut left hand into a fist, and suddenly large drops of blood continued to drip down her wrists, and the bluestone floor under her feet was immediately stained red.
Shen Hao seemed to understand something, and suddenly took two steps back, and actually jumped onto the pedestal of the knight's statue. When he looked down at Shi Yuxuan's feet, he saw that the ground stained red with blood began to slowly spread and extend around. The process was slow at first, but it grew faster and faster, and soon all the light of the torches was dyed an eerie bright red.
Although the situation was very evil, the undead around them did not have any fear at all, they just held their weapons and approached the two of them step by step with mechanical steps, as long as they advanced another ten meters, countless swords and spears could fall on the two living flesh/bodies.
At this moment, a zombie that was estimated to have been a chef suddenly stopped moving, and then its body twitched sharply like a sheep's madness. The surrounding undead didn't care about the sudden abnormal behavior of this kind, and still approached numbly, and one of the skeleton soldiers dragging an axe instinctively reached out and pushed him away because it was blocked by the zombie.
Before Bai Sensen's skeletal claws landed on the back of the convulsive zombie, the zombie suddenly turned around and punched the skeleton soldier in the head. The speed and force of this punch were obviously beyond the limits of ordinary zombie warriors, and the skeleton soldier was shattered into a skull without any reaction, and his body below the neck shook twice, shattering into a ball of white bones with a thud.
The convulsive zombie began to let out an abnormal roar, and the rotting flesh began to swell violently, and countless purple blisters bulged out on the damaged skin. Then the blister burst, and the purple liquid soaked it all over, and the dark purple green tendons covered its entire body like the roots of an old tree.
In just one breath, the zombie had swelled to three meters away, but it didn't look like a human at all. His facial features were completely rotten, and he could only see a large mouth that kept howling, and the muscles on his dark purple body were abnormally developed, but purple fluid was constantly oozing from countless wounds.
The mutant zombies are obviously not the only one, the piercing howls come and go, and the zombie bodies swell and change like blowing balloons, and they begin to pounce indiscriminately towards their nearby counterparts as soon as they take shape.
A scuffle began.
