Chapter 422: The City Without Leaves
In the darkness, extremely subtle movements began to appear on the surface of the water, and then as the movement became larger and larger, the ripples became more and more, and the heads of the fish began to emerge from the water, slowly swimming towards the grass.
The waterhole is vast, but the grass plants covered by the waterhole are a little east and west, and there is often soil under the grass plants, which can support the weight of one or two fishmen, but it is limited to the weight of one or two fishmen.
The night in the swamp was quiet, but when the fishmen came ashore, they made a rustling sound, and some of them rubbed the grass and began to dig for insects to eat.
Li Ling and the three of them all stood in one direction, waiting with bated breath, waiting for those fishmen to come closer, but most of the fishmen would always move in a small range due to the relationship between their vision and poor hearing.
Fortunately, the dead trees where Li Ling and the three of them were surrounded by some hard land, which often did not give birth to such disgusting insects, and there would be no fish-people moving over here.
Fishmen are gathered in groups, and in a small area, hundreds or even thousands of fishmen will gather, and the huge number of fishmen once again shocked Li Ling and the others.
Although the hearing and vision of the fish-people are not very good? However, the fish-man is born with a strong sixth sense of biology, and can accurately find the bugs under the soil.
Li Ling and the three of them didn't dare to move at all, for fear that the slightest movement would attract the attention of the fish-men and lure those fish-men over, and once there was a sound, they would be in this quiet place of death. Li Ling didn't dare to guarantee that those fish-men's hearing would be so bad that they couldn't even hear the sound of a hammer shattering their heads.
"There's a fish-man coming." A fish-man on Hei Lin's side moved slowly, gradually approaching Hei Lin. Then he crouched down and dug up the worms in the dirt to fill his hungry belly.
Squeak...... I don't know where the cry of a rat came from the road, and those fishmen instantly approached the sound flexibly, grabbed a water rat, and swallowed it alive.
Li Ling can see it clearly here. The fish-man did hear the squeak of the rat and passed, and the mouse's cry did not seem to be high in decibels. At this moment, Li Ling could almost determine what kind of range the fish-man's hearing belonged to.
The fish-man on Hei Lin's side approached Hei Lin little by little. The fish-people have long arms. There is a bone spur in the palm of the arm, and the bone spur looks like it is covered with a layer of black skin, and if it is hit by the stab, it is estimated that it will pass through the chest directly.
"Heilin, be careful. If you can't attack, it's better not to attack. Li Ling whispered to Hei Lin.
Hei Lin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, so nervous that he could barely hold his breath, because the fish-man was within five meters of Hei Lin's body, and Hei Lin could even smell the fishy smell on the fish-man.
After the fish-man had dug up all the bugs in a small area. This guy didn't turn around and walk away, but as if he smelled something. Approaching Hei Lin again, the fish-man was three meters tall, with sharp saw-like teeth, and his whole body was covered with scales like a kind of black armor.
"Heilin, you must hold your breath and don't let that guy notice you." Li Ling's heart was so nervous that he almost jumped out of his mouth.
Once the fishmen discover the existence of Heilin, then thousands of fishmen around will besiege them, and when the time comes, Li Ling and the three of them will probably not even think about the bones left.
Hei Lin has been standing quietly, and even his own qi has been restrained, all to prevent the fish-man from discovering him.
But sometimes, even if it was a hundred secrets, no one expected that Heilin's cloud horse, whose spirituality was very low, and then realized the terrible danger of the fish-man, he screamed nervously, and the neighing sound was like the death knell of the three of them.
The screams in the night sky made the three of them tremble.
"Damn, no." Li Ling was furious and frightened in his heart.
The fish-man in front of Hei Lin saw him from extremely quiet, began to become violent and excited, raised his arms and let out a strange cry, and suddenly the fish-people around him noticed that there was something good in the dead tree, and suddenly, all the fish-people gathered around this side, and the speed of movement went from slow to extremely fast.
Hei Lin was already stupid, standing in place in a daze, at a loss, Li Ling rushed over from there, grabbed Hei Lin's arm, and pulled Hei Lin to his side, and the fish man passed by Hei Lin's location, if Li Ling hadn't dragged the distracted Hei Lin over in time, the end would have been hit by the fish man on the spot.
Hei Lin was pulled away by Li Ling, and only then did he react from his distraction, but the fishman had already rushed towards Yunma, and the bone spurs in his hand pierced Yunma's stomach at once, lifted Yunma up, opened his jagged mouth, and ate Yunma in one bite.
This immediately aroused the ferocity of the lion of the silent soul, after all, the lion of the silent soul still has a certain spirituality, and has always been calm and has not moved, but seeing that the cloud horse was eaten, the lion couldn't hold it back.
Knowing that he couldn't lose a mount at this moment, the silent soul danced the giant hammer in his hand, and struck down with a hammer, and with a bang, the fishman's head was directly shattered, and his brain burst to the ground, and he fell to the ground and died.
Li Ling was shocked by the impulsive move of the silent soul, the sound of the smashing just now was dozens of times that of the mouse, and suddenly, the surrounding fishmen found that the movement here was too big, and gradually moved towards this small area with a radius of only five meters.
"Damn, now, there is no other way but to fight, I know that I won't be able to last long?" Li Ling took out the pickaxe and prepared to start fighting.
"Let's have a good fight, there are still three hours before dawn, and in these three hours, let's enjoy the fun of killing as much as possible." Mo Soul laughed heartily.
"It's lucky not to be killed, but fortunately, these fishmen's defenses are not very strong, and the scale armor can still be broken." The ice spike in Hei Lin's hand instantly grew three feet under the cold spirit true qi.
The fire deer also raised its hooves, and the two pairs of antlers on its head horns burst into flames, and the fire was very large, illuminating a radius of five meters.
The fish-people all swayed and approached this side, surrounded by fish-men, which reminded Li Ling of the last Resident Evil, surrounded by a group of zombies.
It would be nice if I could use the formation, but sadly, I don't have the strength to arrange the formation now, Li Ling was a little annoyed, and now in addition to killing out of the gang, it is to kill out of the gang.
Under the light of the fire of the fire deer, the fish people may be afraid, the gorgeous firelight, in the eyes of those fish people, seems unusually dazzling, causing those fish people to hover five meters away, not daring to approach at all, this phenomenon made Li Ling and the three of them feel slightly relieved.
"Isn't the fish-man afraid to see the light when he doesn't come out during the day? If the fire deer can survive until daylight with the flames, then the crisis will naturally be resolved. Mo Soul said in surprise.
"You're right, the eyes of the fish-people can't adapt to the light, so they will hide under the water during the day, hey, we're all so stupid, we've always been afraid that the firelight will attract a large number of fish-people, but we didn't expect that the firelight can actually drive away those fishmen." Li Ling said with a smile.
Sure enough, the effect of the fire light was very powerful.
Those fish-people left one after another under the light of the fire and deer antlers, and the flames were simply plague-like things for those fishmen.
"The fish-people are gone." Hei Lin relaxed and sat down on the ground, but unfortunately, his cloud horse ate the fishman who had smashed his head.
Looking at the bloodstains in one place, Hei Lin was a little sad, after all, the cloud horse accompanied Hei Lin for more than a thousand miles.
"Forget it, when you get to the next city, you can buy another one." Li Ling squatted down and patted Hei Lin on the shoulder.
Hei Lin nodded, got up and walked to the edge of the dead tree, sat down, and watched the fish-people around him leave far away, although they left, but as long as those fish-people were not illuminated by the light, they would not enter the water, they would continue to look for food in the grass.
"After this piece of death, it is the Leafless City, and the Leafless City is also the last city in the Baiyun Border, and after the Leafless City, it is thousands of miles of deep mountains, and our most difficult journey will start from the Leafless City." Li Ling has a clear guide and clear mark in his mind, but he will not go wrong.
"Leafless City, this city, I haven't been to it, and I don't seem to have heard of this city before." The Silent Soul also sat down on an exposed root next to the dead wood.
Leafless City, known as the most hidden city in Baiyun County, because it is after the death of Ze, so it is often difficult for everyone to reach, therefore, Leafless City almost rarely interacts with other cities, or in other words, it does not interact, which also forms a very independent situation of Leafless City.
"Well, that's what the prompt in my head says, but what exactly is the situation? It is estimated that you will only know the Tao when you get there. Li Ling said.
The Silent Soul calculated the distance.
"We estimate that we have walked forty or fifty miles now, and it will take more than a hundred miles to get out of this dead river." Silent Soul Dao.
"It's almost, but this waterhole is almost at the end, and it is estimated that in a day's time, we can walk through the range of this waterhole and reach the real center of this dead river." Li Ling said.
In the real central position, Hei Lin and Mo Soul were both slightly startled. (To be continued......)
