Chapter 22: The Iron Hook
But before the time to be happy, a wave of insects followed, and there were all kinds of insects: wasps, cockroaches, locusts, flies, ......, all of which were affected by evil powers, and their appearance was slightly deformed, and their bodies emitted a green light, and at the same time they became more aggressive.
Everyone waved the weapons in their hands to drive away the flying insects around them, Gordon's flame sword was really a sharp weapon against insects, and it was a crackling piece when swept away, but it couldn't withstand too many insects, and the soldiers on the periphery were crawling with black spots.
Fortunately, the protective measures are well done, as long as you protect your eyes, there is no big problem, some weak insects fly into the Holy Light Barrier and fall directly, and the stronger ones are weakened by the barrier, and it is difficult to bite through the armor of the soldiers for a while.
A few bugs also flew to Unas, and he swatted them in a hurry, and goosebumps rose all over his body, but there were too many bugs to shoot, and he finally killed a few of them, and immediately flew more.
The raft continued to move at high speed, the three rafts were now in the center of the swarm, almost everyone was covered in crazy biting bugs, Unas was on the verge of collapsing, but someone was collapsing faster than him.
As the only woman and priest in the team, Whitemane had been protected at the very center, but now that her dark red priest's robes were crawling with cockroaches and locusts, she tried all the spells to no avail.
She had thought she could face any fear, but she didn't expect to be defeated by these tiny bugs so quickly.
The tense spirit had reached its limit, she could not bear it any longer, a cry that she would not admit to death came out of her mouth, she finally broke down, she could not care about any image, tears and snot gushed out like a gushing spring.
The silver-haired prosecutor closed his eyes and held his head for a few moments, then fell to the board of the boat trembling all over.
Darien was at a loss.
It's always easy to base happiness on other people's pain, and seeing Whitemayne collapse, Unas's spirit relaxed a lot, and the fear of bugs was put aside.
A little pleasure and regret came to his heart at the same time, and it was pleasant to see Whitemayne's embarrassment, and it was a pity that he had given this beauty a score of ten points, and now he had to deduct one point.
"Smoke bottles! Ready-" Gordon's voice pierced through the noise of the swarm.
Unas hurriedly took out two small wooden bottles, and before boarding the ship, everyone was given a few bottles of this alchemy product, and the method of use was also simple, shake it, and then open the cork and throw it out, you can release the smoke of insect repellent, which is said to be a killer weapon against insects, and it cannot be used until the critical moment.
"Put!" Gao Deng ordered loudly, now is the time when the insects are the most dense, and the insect control effect should be the best.
The soldiers threw smoke bottles in all directions, the pungent smell immediately masking the rancid stench brought by the swarm, and the liquid from the bottles floated on the surface of the water, gurgling white like boiling water.
The noise of the insect swarm suddenly became louder, and the insects swept by the white gas fell to the surface of the water in pieces, and suddenly there were several screams from the center of the island, this time it was obviously not an order to attack, because the insect swarm began to turn around and fly back, and the insects on the people's bodies also spread their wings and flew away from the barrier, and the soldiers cheered again.
Unas didn't relax, for fear that there would still be bugs on his body, and began to shake his body like a disco, but suddenly found that a large red dot appeared in the thumbnail in his head, and then looked closely, the red dots under the water in front of him were dense and almost connected!
The raft was moving at high speed under the impetus of the water waves, and the "sensing of the undead" was only a 100-meter radius, and in an instant, the three rafts were directly above the red dots.
"Watch out underwater!" He screamed loudly in warning.
But at this moment, Unas only felt a shock under his feet, and an undercurrent suddenly appeared under the water and violently hit the bottom of the boat, with a loud "bang", sawdust flew and water splashed.
A huge iron hook from under the water actually knocked through a large hole in the bottom of the ship, and the soldier standing in the hole was directly smashed by the iron hook and vomited blood and fell to the ground.
The anchor-like hook was attached to a thigh-thick chain, and the enemy on the other end of the hook exerted another force underwater, and the black-red hook swirled in the air and pierced a soldier's shoulder.
Everyone on the raft was shaken and staggered, and they could only watch the soldier scream and be dragged into the hole by the chain hook.
The raft was almost falling apart, the water kept gushing out of the big hole, Unas felt like it was sinking every moment, and the most terrifying thing was that on the thumbnail in his head, the red dots under their feet had been connected, and no one expected that the Dreadlord would actually hide an army of undead under the water, just waiting for them to enter the trap.
The other two rafts suffered the same fate, they were scuttled through the bottom of the ship by the undead, and the vanguard all fell into the water, and Gordon roared loudly, but there was nothing they could do, they were only two hundred meters away from the island in the middle of the lake, but the water was two hundred meters below it was full of undead creatures that did not need to breathe.
Unas clung to the wooden shield and barely floated on the water, Gordon quickly swam to him, stuffed the air bag in his hand to him, and desperately shouted around: "Concentrate on me!" Concentrate on me! ”
The Light Barrier is still working, and the undead's movement underwater is greatly limited, and it is not yet time for despair.
Just when the vanguard was attacked, on the simple dock of the small fishing village, all the empty rafts were pushed by the current to set off, Archmage Angela frowned, and mobilized her spirit with all her strength, using the current to control so many rafts was a great test of her control, fine beads of sweat condensed on her forehead, and the golden hair was wet and sticking to her ears.
Erigor stood motionless beside her as the messenger of flowers, looking calm, but unconsciously flapping his sword's hand betrayed his nervousness.
Tairosos clenched his fists, and did not rush to give the order for rescue, his steady momentum gradually suppressed the clamor of the soldiers.
Angela raised her staff and chanted the spell aloud, and she had promised everyone in advance that the vanguard would be safe, and she would bring them back!
A violent undercurrent rushed from the direction of the dock, and the undercurrent swept under the feet of the soldiers who fell into the water, exploding like a mine, and the large group of undead who were ambushed under the water were suddenly scattered a lot, and the weak skeleton soldiers were directly washed away, and the waves even overturned the owner of the chain hook, the abomination, to the bottom of the water, and it was not easy to get up again under the water with its heavy body.
The aftermath of the mine explosion pushed the soldiers on the surface of the water back some distance, and Gordon took the opportunity to lead the soldiers to swim back desperately, but there were still people who were slightly weaker and lagged behind, screaming and being dragged into the water.
Unas tugged at Gordon's belt and glanced at the thumbnails, and by the impetus of the explosion of the mines, they had escaped from the large area where the red dots gathered, with only a few red dots behind them.
It seems that it is out of danger, but if it continues like this, the whole team will be slowly eaten away, and someone must break it, Gordon has realized this, he turned his head and shouted: "Darien! ”
Not far away, Darion was protecting Whiteman, and the silver-haired prosecutor's water nature didn't seem to be very good, and when he swam over, Gordon took off the obsidian on his chest and handed it to him, and shook his hand tightly: "Don't just care about your sister!" ”
This sentence pierced the hearts of the two siblings at the same time, their performance was indeed a bit poor, the glory of the Ember Bringer family was about to be lost to them, Darion pursed his lips and took the gem, and said nothing.
Unas snickered to himself, Gordon's art of speaking was definitely negative.
But soon he couldn't laugh anymore, and Gordon stopped, turned around, and swam in the opposite direction.
Is he going to break off?
In the water, Unas is Gordon's oil bottle, he can only go wherever Gordon goes, since Gordon is going to break off, he can only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.
