Chapter 51: Monsters
"There will be no meaningless settings in the Nightmare Realm...... Shi Yuxuan also frowned, looked at Shen Hao, and said in a condensed voice, "This terrain is very unfavorable to us." The mud in the swamp will limit the explosiveness of you and Nakatama, and the water is so wide that I have to throw a rat trap when using the poison technique, and I will definitely not be able to use it at full strength without accidentally injuring you, and if we are attacked by an enemy here, it will definitely become quite passive. ”
"Do you want to go around it? No one knows exactly how big this place is, and I don't know how long it will take to go around in a circle. Shen Hao touched his chin and muttered, "Instead of being restricted by the mud to limit my and Xiao Ta's movements, it is better to directly choose the depth of the water to swim over, so that both we and the enemy will fight in the water, and there will be no geographical advantages and disadvantages; As for your poison arts...... Anyway, didn't you make an antidote that could neutralize the toxin? ”
"There is an antidote, but there are not many preparations, only three." Shi Yuxuan took out a small mouth bottle made of white jade from her bosom, poured out three transparent pale cyan pills from it, and said to Shen Hao, "These antidotes are prepared to be able to join forces without scruples when fighting against the Demon Nightmare, it would be a pity if they were wasted here." ”
Shen Hao put away the antidote handed over by Shi Yuxuan, looked back at the dark swamp water, thought for a while, and finally made up his mind.
"Just take the waterway, if the situation is critical, you can use poison with confidence, Xiao Tamar has a very high resistance to toxins, and it will not be affected in a short time, as for me, as long as you can give me a signal in advance, I will be sure to leave the water in time." What do you think? ”
"So be it, we really don't have much time." Shi Yuxuan nodded.
The three of them transformed the wooden car that Shi Yuxuan had ridden before and made a small raft that could carry one person, so that Shi Yuxuan, who was not good at water, could sit on it, while Shen Hao and Hong Zhongtan supported both sides of the raft and swam across the water.
The water level in the black swamp is of different depths, the deep place can make Hong Zhongtan easily lose the top, and the shallow place can only drown up to Shen Hao's knees. The two of them carried the raft and Shi Yuxuan, who was sitting on it, to move forward in the deep water area, and they groped forward for more than two hundred meters with one foot high and one foot low, and nothing abnormal happened, and at this time, the three of them had come to the top of the sunken ruins.
"It's not right here......" Shi Yuxuan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, she stretched out her slender hand and stroked twice in the water, and whispered to the two: "There are no creatures in this area, not only the fish that may appear, but even some aquatic insects that should appear, I feel ......"
As soon as he said this, the imprints on the three of them produced a stinging pain like a splitting at the same time, and they were all blood red when they touched it.
"Not good!" The three of them almost cried out in unison, only to see a black shadow burst out of the water, like a giant python, straight towards Shi Yuxuan on the raft.
Shi Yuxuan's body didn't move, Shen Hao on the side had already grabbed the side of the raft with both hands and lifted it upwards with all his hands, throwing her into the air, while at the same time, Hong Zhongxuan took a step forward, blocking the two behind him, and at the same time hit the black shadow that swept in with both fists.
"Poof-" Hong Zhongta's fist hit the black shadow, making a muffled sound like defeat, and a strange scream came from the bottom of the water, and then the black shadow turned in a direction in the air, and immediately swept Hong Zhongta, and dragged it to the bottom of the water with a "bang".
"Out of the water!" Shi Yuxuan in mid-air shouted softly at Shen Hao, raised his hands high, and saw the black sleeve robe turned down, revealing a pair of white and delicate jade arms, Qianqian's ten fingers were combined into palms, and an ice-blue air mass in the palm of his palm was rapidly forming.
"Good!" Shen Hao agreed, but instead of immediately surfing the water, he thrust his left hand into the bottom of the water, and actually grabbed one of Hong Zhongta's arms that had been pulled into the water in a moment. Immediately after that, his right hand was raised, and the muscles on his entire right arm bulged one by one, as if they had expanded in a whole circle in an instant. Then he slapped his palm the water beside him.
"Bang-" With Shen Hao as the center, the entire water surface exploded into a depression with a diameter of more than ten meters, Shen Hao's body rose violently upward with this reaction force, and Hong Zhongta, who was grabbed by his left arm, was actually dragged out of the water by him.
At this time, everyone could see clearly that it was not a giant python that was rolling around Hong Zhongta, but a tentacle like a mollusk. Because Hong Zhongta's body was pulled out of the water by Shen Hao, and this tentacle was also pulled out of the water by him at the same time.
"Well done!" Shi Yuxuan's eyes lit up, and the palms that wanted to hit the surface of the water immediately turned in a different direction and were heavily imprinted on the tentacle.
I saw an icy blue color spread rapidly from the location where the tentacle was hit, and the tentacle twitched a few times, and instantly shattered like a weathered stone, and Hong Zhongta's body twisted and came out of it. However, the power of the "Ice Hell Cold Poison" struck out by Shi Yuxuan's palm did not stop there, and the toxin continued to spread deep into the water with the broken tentacles. There were screams of pain from the dark underwater ruins, and a large swamp shook nearby, and the surface of the water burst into countless splashes, as if some huge creature was struggling to crawl out of the depths of the ruins.
"It's an apostle, it's a very big guy, it turns out that this ruin is its lair!" Shen Hao snorted lightly, but the next sentence was to ask Hong Zhongtian on the side. "Were you locked by him just now?"
"Probably not, its attack just now was very casual, it is estimated that it was just an instinctive predatory behavior, and it did not meet us. Moreover, it didn't taste my blood just now, and it was hit by Master's cold poison, so it shouldn't have had time to find out our identity. Hong Zhongqi caught the falling Shi Yuxuan, let her ride on his shoulder, and quickly answered Shen Hao's question, "However, we have to leave quickly, if we let it rush out of the water, it will be a situation of non-death." ”
"Got it!" Shen Hao took a deep breath and rushed to Hong Zhong's side, carrying him and Shi Yuxuan on his back without waiting for him to react.
"Then it's time to escape!" He licked his somewhat dry lips, a red glint in his eyes.
"Nightmare can release 25% ......"
"40% ...... body part strengthened"
"Lower Limb Nerve Restriction Lifted ......"
"Rampage Form!"
Shen Hao's unusually thick legs kicked violently to the water surface under him, the water splashed open, and the bodies of the two people on his back actually rushed out of the water at once, and then his legs stepped on the water at a very violent speed, and the whole person was like a light skill floating on the water in a martial arts movie, rushing on the muddy water surface of the black swamp.
It's just that unlike the light skills in the movie, every time he steps out, the water surface under his feet will explode like a mine explosion, and a large amount of water splashes in all directions, turning the already foggy swamp even more vapour.
Shen Hao held the two people behind his back with one hand, and took the time to turn on the strong flashlight inserted in his waist and put it in his mouth. Find the right direction with the light pillar of the fog lamp, and run wildly. There were constantly black tentacles sticking out of the water behind him and rolling around, Shen Hao seemed to be running in a jungle composed of man-eating plants at the moment, but the danger was better than the latter.
Shi Yuxuan behind her was not idle, she turned around on Hong Zhong's shoulder, her hands kept bending her fingers and popping out, and clusters of colorful air masses flew into the surrounding dense fog, these air masses were slightly hastily condensed, and the toxicity was not as good as the "Ice Hell Cold Poison" in the previous palm, but once a tentacle was hit by the air mass, it would emit a painful convulsion, and then retract into the deep water with a languishing color.
This chase lasted for more than an hour, and it wasn't until Shen Hao's feet stepped on the solid ground again that the huge tentacle monster behind him reluctantly withdrew its claws, and the black tentacle jungle gradually disappeared into the sea of fog behind him.
Shen Hao put the two down, half-squatting on the ground and panting heavily, his violent form had been lifted, and his legs had returned to their normal size, but due to the deformation just now, most of the pants on his legs were torn, and now his lower body became more beggar than a beggar.
Compared with Shen Hao's image, Hong Zhongtan is even more embarrassed. I saw that almost all the clothes on his body were torn and tattered, and there were still a lot of white marks on his exposed skin that seemed to have been torn by sharp teeth, just because his body had an extraordinary defensive power, and these wounds did not see blood.
"What's going on?" Shi Yuxuan was the only one of the three who remained intact, she looked at the strange wounds on Hong Zhongta's body suspiciously, Hong Zhongta's previous was only caught by the tentacle, and she didn't find any creatures that had bitten his body, so where did these wounds come from?
"Those tentacles are very strange, they look similar to an octopus's on the surface, but in fact, the surface of the tentacles is full of fangs, as soon as I was rolled, the big mouth on it began to bite wildly, thanks to my thick skin, if I were to change someone, I could give away half a life in this blow." Hong Zhongtachi said as he tidied up the clothes like strips of rotten cloth on his body, changing his coat into a vest and his trousers into shorts, so that he would not see people naked.
Shen Hao also followed his example, and sorted out the tattered trousers and turned them into a pair of five-minute shorts. This time, they traveled lightly and did not prepare extra clothes, and now they can only change into new clothes until they find the next building or place where humans have lived.
"How far is it?" Shen Hao took the kettle and drank it, and saw that Shi Yuxuan was still standing on a high ground and spread her arms to sense the fluctuations of the nightmare energy in the space, so he asked casually.
After a long time, Shi Yuxuan put down her hands, walked to the side of the two, and replied in a somewhat helpless voice: "There is very bad news...... As a result of the chase just now, we have deviated from the established direction, although we don't want to admit it, but ...... We may be lost for a while......"
