Chapter 320: The Attacker in the Night Sky
"The Forest of the Dark Veil, except for the many tall trees, it doesn't seem to be much different from ordinary forests, but there is something else here...... Meow. ”
"Huh...... What is it......"
"It's a relic, it should be hundreds of years old, no, maybe it will be longer...... I don't know what kind of species left it.,It's inferred that it should be an ancient civilization.,I don't know if it's specific.,Meow.。 ”
In fact, Wen Long's understanding of the Forest of the Dark Curtain is also very limited, after all, this Forest of the Dark Curtain is also a hunting ground that the Hunter Guild has never discovered, especially the interior of the ruins, there are all kinds of legends, and some people even claim that there is a mysterious species living in it.
Of course, in Wenlong's opinion, those should be nonsense, after all, a ruins that have been abandoned for hundreds or even thousands of years, except for all kinds of monsters, there should be no high-intelligence species that will continue to inhabit it.
"No wonder there's always a very eerie feeling, and it's different from ordinary monsters...... It's as if someone is being targeted......" Catherine said, still a little worried.
"Hey, hey, there's no one left...... Meow. Wenlong said again.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but at this time, a cloud floated over, covering the moon in the sky, and in an instant, the ground that was still shining with moonlight became even darker.
Fortunately, Wenlong and the others still carried windproof lamps that could be illuminated, so they didn't see anything. However, it is difficult to see the scenery in the distance just by relying on the light of the windproof lamp. This is far less convenient than moonshine.
Wenlong and his entourage continued to walk forward like this. The surrounding trees are also getting thicker. The dark curtain is getting more and more eerie.
"Buzz...... Buzzing...... Buzz ......"
Suddenly, there seemed to be a sound of something vibrating in the air, and although the sound was still very small, Wen Long quickly realized that danger was approaching with his excellent hearing.
"Be careful, there's something coming...... And there are quite a few of them...... Meow! ”
Hearing Wenlong's reminder, a group of people immediately waited solemnly, and at the same time placed the windproof lamp on the ground to provide simple lighting. Wen Long, Catherine, Begonia, and Elan surrounded the windproof lamp to protect the only light source.
Sure enough, several black shadows suddenly approached from the air in the darkness, and then when they reached the top of Wen Long's party, they suddenly changed direction and rushed towards Wen Long's side.
"Be careful, it's a flying beetle! Meow! Wen Long, who had the best sight in the night, was the first to report the name of the monster.
Generally speaking, flying beetles are not very powerful monsters, and in terms of size, they resemble a mosquito the size of a child. However, the attack method is somewhat similar to that of a wasp, which uses a needle prick on the tail to sting the enemy. And it also comes with a toxin that can paralyze people!
Although with the equipment that Wenlong and the others are now on, it is impossible for the needle prick of this flying beetle to cause much damage, and it can't even penetrate the armor of Wenlong and others, but Wenlong also knows that everything is afraid of a large number, as long as the number is enough, the ants will gnaw at the elephant to death, not to mention this flying insect with its own paralyzing toxin, sneak attack in the dark night with a bad vision, Wenlong naturally does not dare to underestimate it.
At this time, the first wave of flying beetles had already rushed down, and there were as many as seven of them!
Because the speed of the flying beetles is very fast, and the illumination range of the windproof lamp is really insufficient, when these flying beetles approached, the begonia, who was responsible for long-range sniping, did not react!
"Oh no, it's the first time to fight in an environment where the light is not sufficient at night, and sure enough, the little girl has no way to attack...... Meow. ”
Without long-range interception, these flying beetles quickly approached Wen Long and the others, and these seven flying beetles attacked separately, stretching out their spikes with paralyzing toxins towards Wen Long and the others!
"Don't think! Meow! ”
In the dark night, Wenlong was the first to take out the knife, and the jumping Wenlong double knife slashed in two different directions, only to see the light of the two knives flashed, and two flying beetles were cut off their wings and fell from the sky!
Then Elan also swung out the Tai Dao in his hand, the sharp Tai Dao was longer than the double knife, and the coverage was also wider, drawing a long arc in the air, that is, two more flying beetles were cut in half!
But Begonia's reaction was relatively slow, and it wasn't until the flying insect arrived that Begonia hurriedly pulled out the arrow and used the arrow as a short sword to kill a flying beetle.
Catherine's reaction was even more sluggish, she didn't notice that there were two flying beetles approaching from behind at first, and then she finally reacted until she was stung several times by the remaining two flying beetles, if it weren't for the armor on Catherine's body that blocked the spikes of the flying beetles, I'm afraid Catherine at this time would have been unable to move because of the paralyzing toxin.
But that's it, when Catherine swung out the big sword in her hand, the flying beetle suddenly flew away as if it had a premonition!
"Hmm...... Mr. Cat, the bug ran away! Catherine said with some frustration.
"It's because you're too slow to react, clean up these guys, you have to react quickly, aim accurately, and shoot hard! Meow! ”
"I ...... I know, but it's ......really hard to do," Catherine grumbled as she continued to swing her greatsword, but the result was still the same as before, and before the greatsword arrived, the flying beetle had already fled far away, as if she was deliberately playing Catherine.
"Looks like you're going to need a little more practice, meow!"
Although he said that, Wen Long also knew that it was actually not easy to clean up these nimble flying beetles with a big sword.
It's like using a cannon to fight mosquitoes, and although the cannon is powerful, it is not practical to use it for mosquitoes. The same is true of Catherine's greatsword, although Catherine can use her strange power to dance the greatsword vigorously, but because of this, the huge airflow fluctuations caused by the swing of the greatsword can also make those flying beetles sensitive to the airflow predict the danger in advance, and they can dodge it in time.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Catherine can't hit the flying beetle Wenlong, but it would be strange if Catherine could accurately hit the flying beetle flying in the air from the beginning.
"Alright, stop, let Uncle Ben clean them up, meow!"
Seeing Catherine swing several times in a row, Wen Long asked Catherine to stop the big sword in his hand, and Wen Long himself suddenly jumped onto Catherine's shoulder, and then jumped again through Catherine's shoulder, and the remaining two flying beetles hovering above Catherine's head also fell to the ground!
