Chapter 294: The Westward Scout Encounters a Siege

As Julian spoke, the monster spotted them from a distance, and without hesitation, he immediately rushed towards them.

It looks indescribably awkward when it runs, and in addition to its original four legs, there are also some limbs between the branches and tentacles involved.

And,Due to the deformity of the body、The center of gravity is abnormal.,The monster doesn't run steadily.,But with the help of many tentacles.,It won't really fall.,So it gives people a feeling of rolling and crawling.。

"Nasty monster, ruining Uncle Hammerstone's mood!" Hammerstone exhaled as he spoke, and he threw an axe at him violently.

This hand axe is fast and has an afterimage, and the sound of breaking the sky is also extremely sharp, extremely violent, clicking! Directly split a large piece of the monster's body, and then embedded it into the hard ground.

At the same time, Todd also got his hands dirty, and of the three, he was often in charge of long-range strikes, using a variety of firing weapons.

Boom! The dragon tendon that he had spent a lot of money on made a powerful sound, and the crossbow arrow, which was thicker than an adult's thumb, had already shot into the monster's body in the blink of an eye, and the monster was even directly nailed to the ground, and then it exploded violently.

"To die or not to die?" The monster was blown up and flesh was blown up, which was very miserable, but Todd was not sure, because the limbs were clearly still writhing.

"I'll go, it's a cockroach life!"

The three of them saw that the monster's large body that had been blown up, with root-like tentacles growing rapidly, and then hooked, pulled closer, connected, and fused with each other, forming a new indescribable rotten deformed body.

The three of them can be regarded as experienced in battle, and they have seen all kinds of weirdness when slaying demons and demons, and they have not been urinated in front of them.

"But it must be said that Uncle Hammerstone is really disgusted. It's a evil thing, and it makes people feel creepy from the bottom of their hearts. As he spoke, Hammerstone threw a flask of flame.

His throwing skills are very sharp, but this time he was swept away by one of the monster's tentacles because of his relatively slow speed. The flame bottle fell more than ten meters away and turned into a fierce fire.

"Listen to the wind and distinguish the position, okay, your uncle!" The hammerstone lost another one, this time with skill, not only was it fast, but also had a strange flight path, and before it could be smashed, it had turned into a fierce fire, like a burning asphalt, and directly covered it.

The monster twitched and twisted in the flames, its tentacles twitching back and forth like whips, and pumping the ground into crack after crack, with an eerie creaking sound and the occasional popping pop.

"This vitality is really tenacious! I guess its distorted appearance was mostly caused by the slashing of a brother who was probably killed by the tentacles of this guy, and this thing survived in a collusion. Todd touched his chin and analyzed.

"Very troublesome opponents, melee combat with this thing, it's hard not to be entangled or drawn by its many tentacles, look at the barbed fangs on the top, hacksaws are general, it is estimated that they are corrosive, and a bloody wound is a pull, and ordinary metal armor may not be able to withstand the saw." Julian also joined the analysis.

Todd reminded: "It's okay to be poisonous, but what I'm most afraid of is parasitism." Lord Time reminds us through Lucien that soul erosion and parasitism are the core means of this distorted thing. ”

Hammerstone has always been not good at analysis, but he refuses to be left behind, and interjects: "It is estimated that the smoke is also poisonous, and it smells very bad." As he spoke, he pulled up the face towel.

Julian and Todd looked at the burning poisonous green smoke and the scattered pieces of fly ash in all directions, and cautiously pulled up their face towels. They have suffered from breathing poison gas before, and they are more cautious in this regard.

Todd's explosive bolts have no recovery value, but Hammerstone's alloy axe is not. In the process of retrieving, Todd specially reminded that it was stained with the monster's body fluids and live blood, clean it up first, don't make low-level mistakes, and the gutter capsizes.

Hammerstone thought about it and chose drinking water plus the power of nature. That's what Lucien reminded them of as well. Usually, the natural amulet is soaked in the natural altar to raise, when used, natural skin care not only protects the body, but also can be used as a holy relic, together with clean water, that is, holy water blessed by the power of nature. It can remove most of the evil poisons.

As a result, when the holy water was sprinkled, the seemingly normal axe snorted like marble eroded by hydrochloric acid, snorting and smoking.

"It's really uncle, this doesn't let people live!" Hammer Stone was afraid after seeing it, this Nima didn't have much of this heart and eye to put it away. I don't know when I got into the way.

Todd was also shocked, and he reminded his two good friends: "This infection ability is hidden and domineering, and I doubt that with the epidemic prevention level of the Carolingian Kingdom in 1344, it can prevent the erosion of this grade." ”

Julian also has a mind. He said, "You're saying there's a possibility that Kabank's ......"

Todd nodded solemnly, "Maybe there's already a ghost controlled by evil, and we have to plan for the worst." ”

"Well, we'll have to handle this mission as a nest scout."

"Agreed." Hammerstone also took a stand.

The three of them hit the road again, their previous relaxed mentality replaced by heaviness and caution. Although it doesn't look like everyone is possessed by demons, it has become extremely sensitive.

The Karasen Wilderness, which was originally a well-known barren land in the entire Western Continent, has been further distorted by demons in this world, becoming more and more barren and dangerous.

The sky was never blue, but like a dirty rag, gray, and always with a few dark gray clouds, like dirty garbage floating in the water, very unsightly.

The air should be moist and fresh in an open area where it has rained, but here it is not, filled with a rotten and moldy smell. It's like the smell you smell when you enter a cave where the air isn't very smooth.

The wind was not blowing violently, it was like someone was whistling, boom!

There were no living creatures, only puddles of sewage and puddles of grass, which were yellow but wet with water and darkened, sparsely spread on the ground. Occasionally, you can see lonely trees, and most of them are dead.

"You know, the more I look at this place, the more I feel that something is wrong." "Look at the soil," Todd said, "Look at the soil, it's completely nutrient-free, it's not sticky, it's like a mix of gravel, sand and ashes. But such soil can actually hold water and form puddles, instead of seeping down. ”

"Also, what the hell is that grass? When the wind blows like this, can't it dry up the moisture on the dead leaves? Why is it still this deep color that has been moisturized? ”

"That's why it's called twisted! This is not a natural environment, and it is to be treated as a cave that has been darkened by wizards. A wide cave. ”

"That is, there are poisonous insects in the grass and traps in the water. ”

"Well, that's understandable." Julian said, "The situation is much more dangerous than we expected, and we need to save some energy from the natural talisman." ”

Todd proposed: "Yes, I think we should run, it's completely deserted, and we don't need to worry too much about it." On the contrary, the process is over, which is not conducive to preparation, and I estimate that at night, the monsters will be more active. ”

"Well, let's go!"

The three of them ran again, about sixty miles of speed, done by people, and still had the feeling of the wind whistling and the scenery running backwards.

But this time they didn't go too far before they slowed down because they saw the town.

"This is probably the town of Gaoshi that the people of Arashi Village are talking about, right?" As he spoke, Julian took out a map based on the oral account of the Arashi Village and checked it.

"I remember they said that the town of High Rock was originally built on a huge rock, and looking at the terrain, it was very similar. But ......"

"What's wrong?" Due to the language barrier, neither Todd nor Hammerstone knew the situation as well as Todd, and the three of them had not talked about it before.

Julian said: "According to the people of Huangshi Village, Gaoshi Town was originally a village, but later expanded, and it has a two-layer pattern. They built another wall on the flat ground, decades ago. But you see, does it look like there is a town wall? ”

When the three of them got closer to a distance, there was no need to wonder, what they saw from a distance before was indeed not a town wall, but ruins. The outskirts of Gaoshi Town are already ruins of broken walls, as if they had been subjected to mechanical demolition operations, and there are no roughly complete houses, and even complete walls cannot be seen.

The inner town seems to be better, at least the bell tower is quite conspicuous, and there are other people.

"Looks like they've been through something." Julian said.

Hammerstone said: "It is estimated that a monster of that level killed by Lord Time is rolling around in the town. ”

"Well, that seems to make sense." Todd asked Julian, "Would you like to get in touch with the townspeople?" ”

Julian looked at the sky and said, "Well, let's take a talk, the scope of our investigation originally included along the way, and there was no reason to let go of intelligence sources." ”

As a result, when the three of them approached the ruins, they saw the patrolmen on the inner town wall shouting at them loudly, and they seemed to be very excited, but because they were far away, the wind was a little strong, and they couldn't hear clearly.

Soon after, two more patrolmen joined in, shouting in unison.

Todd snorted: "What, we are so much like the embodiment of demons?" Or are they, like the people of Arashi Village, not welcoming strangers? But it wasn't dark yet, and besides, we were dressed modestly, and there were only three of us, which surprised them. ”

"It doesn't seem to be ......," Julian pricked up his ears as he continued on his way.

Finally, two more people shouted, and the three of them entered the edge of the ruins, Julian understood what the other was shouting:

"Danger! Dangerous! There are monsters in the ruins! ”

Julian asked the two friends, "How's it going?" A wave? I would love to know how these people managed to hold on to the inner city when the outer city was destroyed. ”

"Well, take a wave, this is in the way of the future of the convoy, at least find out what is here."

Hammer Stone said: "The two big axes have long been hungry and thirsty, let the monsters know today how powerful the strengthened Hammer Stone Uncle is." ”

"Okay, let's go!" Julian said as he removed the bladed shield from his back and drew his broadsword. Todd and Hammerstone were also armed, and the three of them began to run towards the location of the inner city.

This kind of running is not to run with all your might, but to have spare energy to deal with all kinds of sudden changes, even traps laid underground, if any.

After the three of them advanced about 100 meters in the ruins area, the monsters appeared, like hermit crabs attacking from the sea sand and snail shells, and they lifted the mud and stone tiles above their heads into the sky, revealing most of their bodies, and then either chased and intercepted them, or reached out their tentacles to attack the three of them.

"The containment tactics are well executed." Julian glanced behind him and said.

Indeed, the monsters were already there, but they played the trick of taking the bait, and instead of rushing over, they patiently waited for the three of them to enter the ruins for a distance, and then they killed in all directions and blocked the way of retreat.

However, the three of them had already been mentally prepared for this, and Hammer Stone also scolded: "I know that it is this kind of ugly monster!" ”

The tentacles of the monster were like huge steel cables, and the three of them soon discovered that these things looked fierce, and in fact, few of them really waved away like a whip, as long as they calmly dealt with it, it was not difficult to break.

Of course, this 'only' is a bit lighter because the comprehensive strength of the three of them has reached the realm equivalent to that of a level 15 archmage, and at the same time, they have great combat experience, so they can be so calm and have excellent execution.

"This level of containment is still a little worse!" Todd pouted and replaced himself with a ruler bow like a child's toy.

From time to time, the hammerstone will put a pair of double-edged axes, and the sharpening knives are generally staggered back and forth, and the axe blades are splashed with sparks.

Julian made no small movements, his sword was always held steadily, and when it moved, it was like thunder, fast and fierce. "Kill them!" He said so.
