Chapter 13: Monsters in the Night
The door to the house was locked, but a dilapidated wooden door obviously couldn't stop Anxu.
An Xu, who had unlocked the three star marks, was much more powerful than ordinary people, he snorted softly, slammed his feet hard, turned sideways and slammed the door hard.
The wooden door panel couldn't withstand the huge impact, and instantly cracked from the middle, An Xu grabbed the two ends of the gap and pulled it hard, and then broke a huge opening, and then the whole person got in.
The room was very dark, and I could barely see the swaying figure, but An Xu had been here, and he could roughly judge the location of the bed, and saw a black shadow pounce on the side of the bed, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was the monster.
An Xu didn't have time to stop it, so he threw the shield in his hand in a hurry.
This shield is a heavy shield newly bought by An Xu, and the weight is not light, and the monster's whole body is crooked to the side after being hit, and An Xu has already drawn his sword and rushed up while this kung fu has been drawn.
But the monster didn't seem to be affected by the darkness at all, and with a twist of its body, it dodged An Xu's attack, and then raised its claws and grabbed it.
An Xu completely relied on instinctive reaction to raise his hand to block, only to feel as if his arm had been slashed by a sharp dagger, and he was grabbed with a few deep blood marks at once.
"Mom, I'm afraid!" Dale hugged her mother tightly.
"Run with the kids, quick!" An Xu had to shout, the room was too narrow, the visibility was low, and he not only had to fight monsters, but also took care of the safety of his mother and daughter, which was very passive.
Fortunately, Lena has not lost her square inch, and the instinct to protect the child at the critical moment overcame fear, and she picked up Dai'er and ran out of the door.
The monster was not low in intelligence, and chased after it as soon as his body was vertical, but was grabbed by An Xu's ankle.
It was cold in the hand, and the monster's body didn't have any temperature, An Xu roared, shook his hands, and smashed its body against the wall on the side.
Then he picked up his shield and pressed it against the wall.
The monster struggled hard, letting out a sharp roar, which made people can't help but have a layer of small bumps all over their bodies, and An Xu clinged to each other tightly, sweating his back completely soaked.
It was the first time he had encountered such a monster, and it was false to say in his heart that he was not afraid, the key was that it was too dark in the room, and An Xu couldn't see the other party's movements clearly.
And An Xu found that the strength of this monster was surprisingly large, and as it struggled more and more, An Xu couldn't hold it down, and was pushed back several steps.
"Damn! It's a gargoyle, and this kind of thing still exists! Bing Yan's voice suddenly sounded, and there was a bit of disbelief in his tone: "How could you provoke such a monster, run, now you are not its opponent!" ”
An Xu smiled bitterly, he wanted to run, the question was would this monster let him run out like this?
Just this kung fu, the monster pounced again, An Xu could only raise the shield to block, the opponent's claws grabbed the shield, making a harsh sound of metal rubbing, which showed the hardness of the claws.
The shield blocked the monster's attack, but it couldn't offset the powerful impact, An Xu was knocked out, and then seemed to be smashed on the bed, the fragile wooden bed broke off from the middle, and then An Xu fell heavily to the ground.
At this critical moment, the mercenaries outside finally arrived, but they also seemed to know that this monster was not easy to mess with, so they just blocked the door and carefully probed the situation in the house.
With the help of the torches in their hands, An Xu always saw the appearance of the monster in front of him clearly, with pointed ears, pitch-black eyes without whites, and a mouth full of sharp teeth, it looked like a huge bat.
"Ding-", with the sight, An Xu could finally judge the opponent's attack, raised his hand and covered its claws with his sword, and then sprang it out with his foot.
"Catch it!" After seeing the situation in the room clearly, the two mercenaries rushed in and fought with the gargoyle, and An Xu finally got free, staggered up and retreated to the corner.
These two mercenaries are not weak, it seems that they are also high-level warriors who have mastered combat ability, they should be members of a mercenary team, and there is some cooperation between the two, and for a while they actually pressed the gargoyle into a dead corner.
Seizing the moment, one of the mercenaries stabbed the gargoyle in the neck, and a stream of inky blood spurted out, splashing on the ground and emitting puffs of black smoke.
The two mercenaries showed joy on their faces, and even An Xu breathed a sigh of relief, finally letting this monster seriously injure him.
"It's useless, idiot!" Bing Yan said angrily: "This is the product of necromancy, and the damage to it from physical attacks is extremely limited, and this is the most terrifying thing about it!" ”
An Xu was taken aback and directly told him that Bingyan was not joking, but he didn't have time to remind him.
Just as the two mercenaries let down their vigilance, a cold light flashed, and one of the mercenaries opened his eyes wide and looked at his chest in disbelief, and the gargoyle's claws actually pierced into it.
'Poof', his eyes went dark, he threw himself to the ground, the torch in his hand rolled out, and fell right next to the bed, the wood that had been damaged into a mess and the cloth burned instantly, and the gargoyle flapped his wings, flicked his tail and whipped it on the other mercenary, whipping him out.
With such a shocking change, the two remaining mercenaries at the door were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
In An Xu's sight, the wound on the gargoyle's neck was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the bleeding stopped in a blink of an eye, which was really an incomparably amazing recovery ability, no wonder Bing Yan said that physical attacks had little effect on it.
"How can I kill it?" An Xu tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand and hurriedly asked, Bingyan may be the only person who understands gargoyles, and An Xu can only ask for help from him now.
"Attack its heart, only by completely crushing its heart can you stop its recovery! It would be nice if you had a light-based weapon that almost doubled its lethality against this necromantic creature. Bing Yan said as quickly as he could: "Don't hesitate, while its wound has not completely healed, it will be too late when he fully recovers his mobility." ”
"Shh An Xu gritted his teeth, and now he couldn't count on those people at the door, so he took a step and directly used a stab to stab the gargoyle in the chest.
The gargoyle was just about to dodge to the right, when suddenly a spark sprang up from the ground, and it paused, and had to raise its tail and sweep, slapping An Xu's sword away and stabbing it against the wooden wall.
"That's it, drag it here! The fire also has a damaging effect on it, and here you can use it to your advantage. Bing Yan continued to explain the weakness of the gargoyle to An Xu: "Be careful, it may fly. ”
Can you still fly? An Xu's heart tightened, it seemed that he couldn't give the other party a chance to breathe, he had to entangle it to death, he took a step sideways, raised his shield to block a claw blow, and knocked the gargoyle back to the same place.
The flames in the room were already burning louder and louder, and from time to time there were boiling heatstreams rushing in.
The gargoyle was indeed very afraid of these flames, no matter how much An Xu attacked, it dodged in place, did not dare to move to the place where there were flames, and from time to time a few pieces of burning flames touched it, burning wisps of black smoke on its skin, making it hiss in pain.
In the face of the flames, An Xu was much calmer, he had a foundation for magical resistance, and he had been burned a lot in the past few days, he was completely able to resist this kind of scene, and at this time, he wished that the fire would burn bigger.
'Boom-' A dilapidated wooden wall could not withstand the flames and collapsed, and a large pile of burning debris fell over.
Right now, An Xu saw the flaw exposed by the gargoyle's distraction, and raised his hand to use his strongest attack method - it was 'a sword that kills you'.
The gargoyle obviously didn't notice that this move was hiding a huge killing intention, thinking that it was just an ordinary attack, and grabbed the blade with its claws raised, and the sharp blade was actually grabbed by it.
But just as it let its guard down, the blade in its hand once again erupted with a huge impact, making it unable to hold on to it anymore.
The high-speed blade instantly sliced off two of its fingers and stabbed into its chest.
It worked!
An Xu was overjoyed, and was about to turn the hilt of his sword, trying to crush his heart completely, but the mad gargoyle flew out with its wings and rolled on it several times before stopping.
His sword was still in the gargoyle's chest, causing the gargoyle to flutter in pain, and it seemed that just stabbing it in the heart would not kill it instantly, and then An Xu saw the gargoyle spread its wings and make a jumping gesture with its body low.
It wants to run away! An Xu remembered Bing Yan's statement that gargoyles could fly, and secretly screamed in his heart.
If he let it run away, with the ferocity of this gargoyle, it would be completely troublesome to wait for it to recover and retaliate, and he propped himself up and tried to catch up, but found that he could not get up.
The sequelae of using the trick were manifested at this time, and all the strength of An Xu's physical strength was drained in one outburst, coupled with the injuries on his body, it was difficult for An Xu to even move now.
In a matter of moments, the gargoyle was already on its feet, flying out of the broken place, and rushing into the sky.
Still run away by it, An Xu unwillingly hammered the ground, but he still had a question in his heart, since this gargoyle can fly, why is it besieged here?
Before he could think about it, he heard a sharp sound of breaking the air from high in the sky. The gargoyle's body seemed to have been hit in the back by something, and it stumbled and fell again, landing right in the fire.
"Yo ho! Shot! It's not in vain that I've been aiming for so long! A cheer rang out from the roof of a house not far away, and a small dot jumped down and ran towards the place where the gargoyle had fallen.
An Xu saw it at this time, isn't this the bit man he met that day?
"Hey, big man, you're going to be burned if you don't come out again!" The Bit man stopped outside the room, raised his bow in one hand and shouted with the other hand crossed over his waist.
Only then did An Xu realize that the fire in the house was out of control and was in danger of collapsing at any time, and even the two injured mercenaries were dragged out by their companions.
He hurriedly stood up, and with the help of a little strength that he had finally recovered, he rushed out of the room, although his flame resistance was slightly higher, but if he was buried inside, it would be over.
With a 'bang', a shadow stood up from the flames, and An Xu looked back to see that the gargoyle was still alive, fluttering in the flames.
The bit man quickly raised his weapon and aimed it at it to prevent it from escaping.
It's a pity that this gargoyle has reached its limit, and finally let out a terrible howl, completely fell into the flames, An Xu wiped his forehead, only to find that the sweat had wet his whole body, and he was baked by the fire, which was really uncomfortable.
"Finally killed it, just ambushing this guy wasted a lot of my time!" The bit man smiled proudly, and then reached out to pull An Xu up: "The big man is very powerful, this monster has hurt a lot of people in the past few days, and you can actually block it alone." ”
An Xu smiled self-deprecatingly, took his hand and stood up, if it weren't for luck, he probably wouldn't even have lost his life, this praise really made him unhappy.
"Thanks, what's your name?" An Xu was truly grateful, if it weren't for the fact that this gargoylee was shot down by this bit man at the last moment, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"My name is Doudou, you can call me Doudou-sama!" The bit man raised the weapon in his hand and said proudly: "Look, the latest alchemy hand crossbow comes with a spell-breaking effect, right?" ”
An Xu admitted that the weapon in this guy's hand was indeed very powerful, and he had personally experienced the defense of this gargoyle, and such a small weapon could shoot it down directly.
It seems that the gargoyle was reluctant to fly into the sky at first because he was threatened by the crossbow arrows in the hands of the bitman.
"Thank you, Mr. Ahny! I'm really sorry for the trouble again. Lena hid aside with Dai'er in her arms, and saw that An Xu was covered in injuries, so she hurriedly came over to help him check it.
At this time, An Xu's pupils shrank.
"Be careful!"
He grabbed Lena and rolled back, pushing Dai'er away, and the cold light flashed, and a black shadow fell to the ground.
"What's going on?" Doudou hurriedly raised the weapon in his hand, and before he could aim, he was blown out by the black shadow fan, and his short body hit the wooden railing, and even the alchemy hand crossbow in his hand fell aside.
Then he didn't move, and it looked like he had fainted.
An Xu raised his weapon with difficulty, his face was extremely ugly, and he never expected that there would be a bigger gargoyle.
