Chapter 42: The Unknown Monster
Hugging the fox girl in his arms, Karel carefully looked at his surroundings.
"It looks like it's time to develop automatic weapons." Looking at the ruined swamp around him, Karel thought to himself.
Whether it's a sneak attack and assassination, or a one-on-one is good, but the group attack method is relatively bad, how can that pair of small daggers compare to other professional carpet bombing? I have to say that this is a shortcoming of my profession, and it seems that I have to use other methods to make up for it, and I don't have many ideas for large-scale AOE, but it's definitely a classic.
It's already night, and although Lu Lin has a big outburst and slaughtered countless thorny beasts, the strong smell of blood and burnt in the air makes it difficult to breathe, and this smell has a fatal attraction to scavengers, if you don't want to explode again, it's better to leave quickly.
The so-called misty swamp is that in this swamp, there is always a layer of fog, and the close line of sight is not affected, but for the scene 50 meters away, it can only be seen hazy.
With two soft sounds, the bushes and twisted roots of the trees broke apart, revealing a path that would allow people to pass through the city.
"Where are we now?" Lulene tossed aside the branch that had hooked her armor, and then asked Karel as she struggled to get out of the way.
"I don't know, it's too dark, and there's nothing around to compare to, the only thing that's certain is that we should not be far from that position during the day." With the swing of the twin daggers, the branches and air roots that blocked the path were all broken, although the dragon father's fangs to chop the branches were a bit worthy of the level of the legendary weapon, but this situation did not matter.
"Now there are two options." Karel, who had cut to the ordinary, suddenly stopped, and then said to Lu Lin: "First, we rushed overnight and walked directly through the swamp in a straight line. "The route during the day is based on the relatively safe route of the Explorer before, if you take the unknown route now, or the night route, no one knows what will happen, after all, the Misty Swamp is so big, and only a small part of it has been explored so far.
Lu Lin thought about it for a while, and thought it would be better to hear about the other option first.
"The other is that we find a place to rest and go back tomorrow." Karel said as he smeared ** on the dagger.
"Can't we send any more flares and ask them to pick us up?" Suddenly, Lulin had a flash of inspiration and thought of a solution.
"I think so." Hearing Lu Lin say this, Karel showed a wry smile on her face, and then said, "The problem is that the flare gun is out of ammunition, and it was all for Esther when she called for help before." ”
"Okay, let me think about it." With her hands pressed to her temples, Lulene circled around Karel.
"Then we'll spend the night in the swamp." In the end, Lu Lin decided to rest first, after all, although she and Karel were able to have infinite bodies and combat resources due to certain reasons, mental exhaustion was indispensable.
Karel looked up at the sky, and the torrential rain was still falling, which meant that at least he had to find a place a little higher to pitch his tent, or he would have to sleep all night and wait to soak in the mud and pull out the locusts on his body.
"It should be this way, let's go." Looking down at the puddles on the ground, it was obvious that there were signs of water flowing, so Karel led Lulin in the opposite direction of the current, which was most likely a small high ground.
It's not far, but it's hard to walk, it's more of a swampy environment, or a night walk, and there are monsters harassing from time to time. Of course, in front of the heavily armed Lu Lin, more or less food is delivered.
"If it's not an illusion, then it should be right in front of you." The two of them walked for a long time, and at last they found a place a little higher, which looked like a small dirt slope, and there were no trees on it, but a large rock.
"Huh? Karel, come and see, what is this? As Karel was about to pitch the tent, Lulene on one side suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong?" Putting down the work in his hand, Karel turned his head to look, and at this time, Lulin was looking intently at the large stone in the middle of the dirt slope, and even took out her staff and tapped it on it.
"Come and see!" Seeing Karel coming, Lulene grabbed him and pointed to a spot on the stone to show Karel.
"Huh?" Looking in the direction of Lulin's finger, there was a faint red light shining through under the stone, "There's something down there?" ”
The two looked at each other, "Dig!" In the next second, the same thing was said between the two of them.
Karel pulled his dwarf saber out of his backpack and pulled the chisel out, telling Lulin to step away, holding the chisel in both hands and raising it above his head......
"Ding!" There was a loud bang, and the corpses scattered, and a deep mark appeared on the stone.
"Not enough? Again! Seeing that there was no glow underneath, Karel held the chisel high again and swung it down with all his strength!
"Poof!" Incredibly, this time there was not a "clanging" sound of hard objects colliding, but a pop like popping a fruit, and even the stone with the chisel inserted in it was like bleeding, and a lot of red fluorescent liquid flowed out.
"What's this?" Karel and Lu Lin surrounded them, pulled out the chisel inserted in it and looked carefully, the stone was half empty, and the chisel that was half a meter long went in at once, and it was full of red fluorescent liquid.
"Isn't it some kind of heaven and earth treasure like 10,000-year-old stone milk?" Dipping her fingers in the liquid, Lu Lin asked strangely.
"How can there be that thing, you have read too many novels." Karel took the chisel and inserted it again, then wrenched it back hard to make the hole wider.
As Karel increased in strength, cracks began to appear on the surface of the stone, and at this moment, the entire dirt slope suddenly began to shake.
"Uh, what's going on?" Karel turned her head to look at Lulin suspiciously, thinking that she had nothing to do with the seismic, but saw that Lulin was also looking around in disbelief.
Then, in the next second, the trembling dirt slope suddenly burst open, and Karel, who was caught off guard, was catapulted all the way away, falling into a puddle of mud.
"Boom!" There was still a different sound under the mound, and the slope, which had been relatively intact, began to bulge and crack one by one, as if something was about to come out from underneath.
Finally, when the mound was covered with cracks, the roar stopped, as if it was accumulating power, and after a second or two, with a loud "bang", the whole mound was lifted five or six meters high at once.
At this time, Lulin and Karel were fully armed, waiting for the monster under the mound to reveal its true form.
There was another loud bang all day, and the original dirt slope burst open, and in the smoke and dust in the sky, Karel and the two clearly saw a blood-red eyeball, exuding an angry light.
