Chapter 80 Attack on Weakness
"Well, okay. Looks like I'm a little tired, but that's okay, just keep going. ”
Seeing that Arrow was in no unusual state, everyone was relieved and moved on.
By the time the torch in Brad's hand was burned out, a wide opening finally appeared in front of the originally narrow passage.
The crowd quickened their pace, cautiously and quickly came to the opening, and looked out......
At this glance, everyone in the Mermaid Song Guild was completely stunned on the spot.
It's a huge square-like underground cavern, and the walls around the cavity are covered with glowing moss, giving the underground cavity a feeling like it's under a starry sky.
In the middle of the hollow is a huge pool. The calm surface of the water was embedded like a piece of glass, and if it weren't for the terrifyingly smooth terrain and the water vapor wafting through the air, Iero would have almost thought it was a huge glass lid.
But compared to this spacious and smooth pool, what immediately lifted the spirit of the Mermaid Song Guild was on the other side of the pool.
There, seven large and small corpse eaters were gathering.
It's as if they're here to survive, sometimes pushing and rolling against each other.
However, the leader of the ghouls that Arrow had witnessed was not here.
"President, I think ...... We may have gone a little too far. ”
Seeing such a terrifying monster appear seven in one go, Cream immediately signaled to retreat. Judging by the distance, it would take some time for these ghouls to get around this huge pool, which should be enough time for everyone to retreat.
Arrow nodded, "We're here to explore the terrain as much as possible, and now that we've identified the cannibal's lair, we'll be able to leave now." ”
But just when Arrow made up his mind to retreat, Brad suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where the corpse eaters gathered, and said with a little horror: "Look, President! There! ”
When Arrow looked closely, he saw two claws of a corpse eater pressing against a human corpse. I saw that it bit the lower half of the corpse's body, and with a strong pull, the lower half of the body, which started from the waist, was torn open, and the internal organs inside were scattered to the ground like a broken piggy bank.
The corpse eater was not in a hurry to eat the lower half of his torn body, but continued to suck on the spine that emerged from the abdominal cavity like a skewer, until he licked the internal organs and blood from the spine clean, and then turned the corpse around and took another bite at the head.
The disposed corpses were tossed aside by the corpse eaters, and it seemed that they were no longer of any use. The other ghouls also took advantage of this time to share with the ghoul the torn lower half of his body and the internal organs that had fallen to the ground.
Monsters eat people, which doesn't surprise Arrow.
But what does it mean when he sees a human being "processed" like this?
Although he didn't want to believe it, he had to force himself to recognize the reality.
"Let's step back, be careful and don't make a sound."
Iero muttered softly, stepping back as he walked back.
The lake was so calm that it sent chills down his spine. Moreover, his sudden delirium just now also made the chairman determined to leave immediately.
The guild members nodded, and in turn, silently stepped back.
Knock –
In an instant, a crisp sound of the piano suddenly pierced through this silent cave!
This soft sound not only made Arrow's heart tighten, but it also immediately attracted the attention of those corpse eaters over there! Soon, they all turned to face Arrow and the others.
Arrow, Coco, Brad, Parfay, and Cream all focused their eyes on Grainy.
The bard, however, lowered his head in confusion and looked at the lute in his hand.
On the strings, there is a silk thread hanging from it.
The end of the silk thread was attached to Brad's clothes.
Perhaps it was because the people had passed through the cave right now, and the strings were entangled in the threads that had been taken off, and now as the positions of the people were separated, the deadly sound of the piano was played.
Brad froze as he followed the thread to see his back, and then looked at Arrow with a panicked expression, his mouth trembling and not knowing what to say.
But Arrow didn't have the heart to care about Brad, because there were already two corpse eaters who were quickly rounding the pool and rushing towards it!
"Alert! Get ready for battle! ”
If anything, let's wait until I get out alive to discuss whether the sewing level of the country tailor can support the adventures of the adventurer's guild.
Hearing Arrow's order, Brad, who was still flustered just now, immediately entered battle mode. He quickly rushed to the front of the group, raised the shield in his hand, clenched it, and prepared to meet it. Parfay also immediately opened her small handbag and sprinkled all the floral powder stored in it on everyone's body in one go.
The smell was pervasive, immediately beguiling the smell of the mermaid's song. One of the corpse eaters apparently stopped and searched for it because it had lost its smell, but the other rushed in the direction of the sound without hesitation.
"Everyone is calm, you can't retreat, instead of entering the narrow passage and not being able to do it, it's better to deal with them here first."
Aro boosts morale, Coco quickly summons the Bone Soldier and Skeleton Dog, and Cream pulls out the fanged dagger.
Soon......
"Squeak ——!"
The corpse eater followed the sound he had just heard, raised his claws and grabbed them in the direction of everyone! Brad steadied himself and quickly stepped forward to raise his shield, only to hear a click, and his claws slashed across the fangs and slammed into the ground.
Last time, Brad fell out of the way when he faced the oncoming claw blow.
But this time, his gloved left arm only sank slightly, and the equipment on top and bottom of his body supported his body and made his body only slightly retreat less than half a meter.
This progress has boosted the fighter's self-confidence! The faith in his eyes seemed more rock-solid, and he turned his shield in the direction of the ghoul with great poise.
"Squeak ——!!!"
The claws didn't catch any flesh, which made the ghoul look a little confused. Soon, however, the two luminous organs began to glow like blood, making them stand out in the star-like cavern.
"Come on!"
Brad let out a loud shout, and the corpse eater who heard the sound rushed towards Brad again. This time, instead of retreating, Brad met him head-on, his spiked shield slamming into the corpse's shoulder, and the heavy force and reaction force slammed the corpse away, knocking the corpse upwards and tumbling to the ground.
The battle was successful, the skeleton dog immediately burst out from the side, opened its mouth, and bit the tail vertebrae of the corpse eater, and the undead soldier raised the rainbow sword in his hand, and the blade flashed, and the rainbow light had already swept over the tail vertebrae.
But......
"Squeak Ga——!"
As the bone fragments flew apart, the rainbow sword was not able to directly cut off the tail vertebrae of the corpse eater with this sword.
Sensing that his support point was being attacked, the ghoul quickly rolled over, its two claws waving in all directions. With great strength and powerful claws, he clawed the skeleton dog that was biting at the tail vertebrae. At the same time, its roar had once again caught the attention of the corpse eater who had stopped halfway, and it was quickly rushing towards it.
"One more time!"
Seeing that he was about to face the attack of the two corpse eaters, Arrow immediately made a decision and gave the order to attack again. At the same time, he picked up the hanging cloth bag, took out the bloody worm inside, and threw it at the fast-approaching corpse eater.
The corpse eater sniffed the familiar scent of prey and immediately turned his spearhead and rushed at the bloody bug. It was also during this break that Brad raised his hammer and slapped his shield, shouting loudly, trying his best to attract the attention of the corpse eater in front of him.
The corpse had smelled the bloody bug as well, but the noise in its ears had made it turn around, raise its claws again, and swing down on Brad's spiked shield.
When ——!
The claw slapped against the shield, and Brad leaned down slightly. But the next moment, he slammed his shield forward and flipped the corpse's body over again with his strength.
The skeleton dog pounced again, biting down on the tail vertebrae, straightening. The rainbow sword in the hands of the undead soldier also slashed down again.
However, the corpse eater's tail vertebrae were unusually strong, and the sword was stuck in the gap between the tailbones, but it was never able to cut off.
"Coco! Let your little white stay in this position and don't move! Brad! Smash it down! ”
Arrow immediately issued an order, although his own members' ability to think alone may indeed be a little lacking, but these days they have been eating, drinking, and working together on tasks, this tacit understanding is naturally incomparable.
The undead soldier pressed his entire body against the tail vertebrae, and the rainbow sword pressed down hard. Brad was not polite, and quickly raised the hammer in his hand and smashed it down like thunder towards the rainbow sword protected by the undead soldiers!
With a loud bang, the undead soldier's body was smashed to pieces, but the rainbow sword was smashed down, and finally completely cut off the tail vertebrae of the corpse before it turned into ashes.
The corpse eater, whose tail vertebrae had been severed, let out a scream, and it rolled over, trying to get back up. But after losing the support of the support point, its two claws will immediately fall to the ground as soon as it moves its body slightly.
Cream jumped on its back after taking advantage of a fall, the fanged dagger in both hands stabbing at its heart without reservation. The blade pierced through the strong muscles, pausing after visibly touching something very hard.
After struggling a few times, the ghoul who had been struck in the heart finally fell to the ground and stopped moving.
