Chapter 214: Open
Look back in ten minutes.
Hopless only felt that the ups and downs of life were too exciting, first frustrated, then desperate, and then the rest of his life, in just a few tens of seconds, his mood was like a roller coaster, and what made him even more unexpected was that it was the King of Steel Bones who saved him.
Now he was sure that the King of Cyborg and these monsters were really not in the same group.
Without much time to think, the powder mist was spreading to this location, Hopeless took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let's go, retreat to the south gate." ”
Led by Hoples, the soldiers retreated towards the south gate, gathering a large number of men along the way. Hopless simply sent people around to give the order to evacuate to the south gate.
In fact, there was no need for Hoplis's order, because there were only two gates in the Iron City, and there were cliffs on both sides, and the north gate was covered with pink mist, so everyone could only retreat to the south, and soon the square at the south gate gathered seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and a small number of people.
Hopeless is the person with the highest status in the Iron City, he knows very well the population here, the Iron City has been increasing its troops recently, and the total number of troops has reached 200,000, but the Iron City cannot squeeze so many people, there are 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers camped outside the city in the north, and there are only about 120,000 people in the city.
Not long after the magician group retreated, the powder mist broke out and closed the door, and it is estimated that these hundreds of thousands of people were blocked in the city, and now there are only seventy or eighty thousand people gathered here, which means that there are forty or fifty thousand people trapped in the powder mist.
As soon as this number was calculated, Hopeless's eyes darkened, and he almost didn't faint, the southern principality has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and there has been no major accident that lost tens of thousands of people at one time for a long time. What worries him even more is that this means that there may be tens of thousands of ghouls in the powder mist.
Of course, there can't be tens of thousands of ghouls, and after dividing the flesh and blood, it is already very good to be able to have a quarter of the corpses.
The place where Luo Qiu killed the ghouls, the powder mist spread here, and one of the ghouls did not die, it was hit by Luo Qiu and broke its tendons, and it just lay there unable to move.
The powder mist enveloped its body, and after inhaling the mist, the ghoul's broken bones and bones healed quickly, and soon writhed and crawled up.
After the fracture and there was no alignment, the healed bones must be strange, this ghoul supported the twisted body, crawled on all fours, it crawled a few times, suddenly turned its head to look at the smashed people on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and actually pounced and gnawed.
Ghouls do not eat their own kind because their bodies are inactive, tasteless, and do not replenish energy. But when the ghoul devoured its kind, the mutation began.
Luo Qi led the Silver Skull on a rampage through the pink mist, hacking all the ghouls he encountered, but he soon found that he couldn't find his target, and the ghouls seemed to be avoiding him.
"What's going on? Where did all those things go?, did anyone find them?" Luo Qiu asked with his soul.
Above the red mist, a magical eyeball hovered there, blinking from time to time.
Gray, who controlled the wizard's eye, sent a message to Luo Qiu: "The ghouls are gathering in the northeast corner of the city, Your Majesty, something is wrong, it seems that someone is directing." ”
"I know, there must be someone in command, these guys have slandered us behind our backs I don't know how many times, this time we have to find them out anyway. Luo Qiu said angrily.
From Caiyun Village to Boulder City, there have always been black hands slandering the undead, because the means adopted are too hidden to find the right owner, so Luo Qiu plans to draw money from the bottom of the kettle and suppress this slander directly from the channels of propaganda.
I didn't think that I didn't look for the traces of those guys, but they took the lead on their own, and someone commanded just right, just turning out this behind-the-scenes listening master.
"Your Majesty, the situation is not good. Gray persuaded, "There are too many ghouls, estimated to be in the tens of thousands, and we need reinforcements." ”
Hearing this, Luo Qiu glanced back and nodded: "Reinforcements are indeed needed, Gray, you take people back, let those humans open the door, and if they don't open, they will come in." ”
All he had brought in were a hundred silver skeletons, but more than half of the Undead Sage and Lich King were here. For the time being, let Gray and the others go back, if the humans don't open the door, then Gray and the others will assist and come in directly.
Anyway, no matter what, you can't let that person behind the scenes escape.
Gray left with six lichs, leaving the city with four undead saints, including Mobuck, but they had already dispersed and searched everywhere for who was behind them.
Not long after Gray left, a giant monster smashed a house behind him and turned into the location of Luo Qiu and the others.
Luo Qiu tilted his head, a little surprised: "What the hell is this?"
The monster stood up presumably taller than a building, only to see it crawl on all fours, twisting at odd angles, like a four-legged spider.
It seemed to follow the path of Luo Qiu's advance, and the ghouls that had been cut down all over the ground became its food, and it picked up one and stuffed it into its mouth, rattling like chewing candy.
As it feeds, a black colloid spills from the tips of its fingers, thickening its toenails, and the wind hardens and glistens.
Some important parts of the body, such as the head and chest and neck, are also covered by this black carapace, which is constantly thickening, and if it continues like this, it will most likely turn into a monster covered in armor.
"It can't be a ghoul who has evolved, has it evolved by eating its own kind?" Luo Qi guessed.
Luo Qiu took off the Dongfeng Bow, set up an ordinary arrow, and shot out with the bow.
The arrow was nailed to the black carapace above the monster's head, and with a bang, the arrow shattered, and the body of the arrow bounced into the air.
The high-carbon steel arrows couldn't even penetrate the black carapace? What are you kidding? Instead, it was the kinetic energy carried by the arrows that knocked the monster's head backwards.
"The skull is so hard, call you a corpse turtle. Luo Qiu scolded, hung up the cave wind bow, and used the giant axe again, only to see the soul power on his body surging out, surging towards the giant axe in his hand, and then slamming it to the ground.
Don't look at this axe as wide as the door panel, in fact, it belongs to the soul armament, and the weight is very light, but now with such a casual meal, the masonry on the ground was actually cracked.
When he brought it up again, Luo Qiu didn't act as lightly as before, he had to hold the handle of the axe with both hands, and lean his body to the other side to maintain his center of gravity, and muttered, "Do you know what my weapon is called? It's called a steel hammer." ”
The axe is not called an axe, but it is called a hammer? It is estimated that everyone who hears this name will be confused, but it expresses the characteristics of this weapon very well.
Dragging the steel hammer upside down, Luo Qiu rushed towards the corpse turtle in great strides.
The corpse turtle poked out its front paws and swung it from left to right, its glittering toenails slashing at Luo Qi like a few sharp blades.
Luo Qiu swung the hammer upwards violently, and at the same time kicked upward, borrowing the weight of the hammer itself, dragging his body upwards, past the claw blow of the corpse turtle.
