Chapter 825: Mutation
This bone arm seemed to be extremely heavy, and the staff felt a little difficult to grasp it for a while, so they simply lifted the bone arm with both hands and carried it their chests before they could move.
As a result, the magic lamp he held in his other hand naturally could not be held, so he simply tilted his head to one side, and held the magic lamp with the gap formed between his face and shoulder.
He tilted his head and spoke to the twelve saints in the carriage through the glass as if he were some kind of invitation, not noticing that the bony arm he held horizontally across his chest had 'moved'.
The black gas outside the window seemed to be thicker, and the breath of the undead became heavier and heavier.
The thick black fog was almost obscured by the light on his cheeks, making his face look an abnormal blue-black.
"Oh—" Under the train wheels, a staff member suddenly exclaimed.
After discovering the severed bone arm earlier, the two staff members who got out of the car were crawling under the wheels, looking for other scattered broken bones.
The position of the bone arm happened to appear under the train box where the Twelve Saints and the Trialists were sitting, and the sound he emitted seemed to clearly penetrate the bottom of the carriage and directly into everyone's ears.
"There's the Black Flame Serpent here!"
The Black Flame Snake is a low-level magical beast unique to this Trial Continent, and it can spit black flame breath from its mouth.
This snake lives on carrion, is extremely evil, symbolizes the spirit of death, and is deeply disgusted by the people of the mainland.
They are extremely timid, and most of them will avoid living humans and beasts.
They usually live in cemeteries, forests, or places with a strong dark atmosphere.
The Misty Forest is extremely large, and it is not surprising that there is such a black flame snake in it.
But according to the habits of these snakes, they would not dare to run here and be so close to the territory of the Federation.
What's more, although this thing is called a demonic beast, it will also spit out flame breath, but it is actually not very lethal, and if an ordinary adult man is holding a weapon, he can definitely subdue it.
But in the next moment, the man's voice was a little higher:
"Ahh A lot of black flame snakes! ”
He seemed frightened, and his voice trembled.
As soon as the man's voice fell, a dense sound of 'sizzle' was heard in the carriage.
It was as if a huge group of snakes were crawling collectively at this time, and the scales rubbed against the railway tracks, making a scalp-tingling sound.
Just from the sound of this sound, it seems that you can imagine the density of the snakes.
The seventeen people in the carriage were not ordinary people, especially the five trialists, all of whom had already reached the realm of distraction, and their divine sense was so strong that they could hear the voices of these snakes as they crawled.
Some of the snakes were already climbing up the wheels, and the snake's head seemed to be hitting the bottom of the carriage, making a 'tuk, tuk, tuk' sound, as if countless hands were constantly knocking on the door.
Through the power of magic, the driver in the water mirror also clearly heard the exclamations of his colleagues who were dispatched to 'solve the trouble'.
His expression was a little dazed, and before he could ask what was going on, he heard Song Qingxiao's calm order:
"Close the door!"
"What?" At the other end of the water mirror, the driver asked, and then after hearing her words clearly, his face sank.
There was also his colleague outside the car, who had gone out to check the cause of the train that had almost derailed.
At this time, it was just a low-level black flame snake that appeared, and it didn't have any lethality at all.
Song Qingxiao's request to close the door was undoubtedly to abandon his companions in the driver's eyes, and he naturally didn't like it.
What's more, there are twelve saints sitting in this carriage, and each adult doesn't say a word, how can it be the turn of such a young girl to give orders.
"My colleague hasn't gotten in the car yet—"
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly a terrible scream came:
"Ahh
The sound was like a signal, and the rest of the other staff members who were crawling under the car also began to scream in panic.
The sound was heard through the bottom of the carriage, and it was extremely dull.
As soon as the screams came out, the snakes spit out 'haha, haha' and heard one after another.
Under the transparent window glass frame, a triangular black snake head suddenly emerged.
The head of the snake was about the size of an adult man's fist, and the dense black scale armor was like countless tiny suckers, firmly sucking the window glass.
As soon as this monster appeared, it seemed to sense the people in the glass.
It tilted its head back, and opened its mouth at an uncanny angle with a 'whoo', revealing four long, sharp, curved fangs, and slammed into the glass!
'Bang! ’
The head slammed into the transparent glass, making a dull thud like a fist hitting a barrier.
Although the window glass is intact, it makes a 'buzzing' sound under the impact of this force.
This black flame snake has a very low grade, and its IQ is not good, it seems that it has not discovered the existence of glass at all, and after finding that it cannot penetrate the glass and drill into the carriage, it can't help but be stunned for a moment, and then comes back to its senses and shows its hideous teeth again:
'Sizzle-'
With the sound of spitting, a long tongue with split branches poked out, accompanied by a black thick liquid 'booming' out of its mouth, splashing all over the glass!
The moment the black liquor touched the glass, it turned into a large ball of flame with a 'boom' and began to burn.
A fishy smell penetrated into the carriage through the cracks in the body, causing the Holy Maiden Saiji to frown, revealing a bit of forbearance.
The appearance of this black flame snake is just a signal, signifying the beginning of misfortune.
The moment it attacked the carriage, a large number of 'sizzling' crawling sounds began to sound.
The sound was like a dense rain, spreading from the sides of the car to the body and the top of the head with great speed.
At the other end of the water mirror, before the driver's words fell, the seventeen people in the painting compartment saw through the magic mirror that countless black shadows flashed from the four borders of the open car door.
“…… Just some black flame snakes, I need to wait for them to get in the car......"
The driver sat in front of the console and did not realize that the crisis was coming.
But with the influx of a large amount of fishy gas, he also vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Be careful!" The swordsman reminded loudly, and the driver only felt a handstand on his back, and instinctively turned around when he heard this.
After Arthur shouted, numerous dense snakeheads squeezed out of the edge of the door frame, as if to squeeze into the carriage.
The moment the driver turned his head, he happened to meet the pair of scarlet eyes, and his scalp was numb for a moment, and he understood the real reason why his colleague exclaimed "so many black flame snakes" before.
Even if the black flame snake in front of him only showed the snake's head, it was still terrifying.
For some reason, these black flame snakes don't seem to be afraid of people, their eyes are shining with scarlet light, with a bit of madness and gloom, as if they have fallen into evil.
Although the rank of the Black Flame Snake is not high, and the lethality is not great, even if the driver thinks that the Black Flame Snake is not to be afraid, but Leng Hao suddenly saw that there were so many of them, which still made the driver's back chill and let out a frightened gasp.
Most of the snake's body was outside the carriage, and countless snake heads shook and struggled, as if they smelled the breath of a living person, and they scrambled to get into the car.
They are like intertwined tentacles, spitting fishy black air between the movements, and under the illumination of the lights, countless shadows are cast on the carriage.
In an instant, the stench in the carriage was unpleasant, and the black clouds were so corrosive that they obscured most of the lights.
It wasn't until this moment that the driver understood what Song Qingxiao meant by shouting to close the door earlier.
Frightened, he almost forgot that there were three other colleagues left outside, and immediately instinctively pressed the button to close the door-
But it's too late!
As soon as these black flame snakes found the gap, they desperately drilled in, and as the train door closed, many black flame snake bodies that climbed above the car body were driven, and they fell one after another with a 'bang'.
Some fell outside, while others fell straight into the car.
More snakes came out one after another, their heads held high, and most of their bodies poked into the car.
Under their power, the closed doors seemed to be affected, and they closed very slowly.
The group of snakes that fell into the car seemed to have found their target and quickly climbed in the direction of the driver.
"Damn the beast!"
Seeing this, the driver pinched his nose and let out a curse sound.
Being able to control such a magic-driven train, and traveling between the misty forests, even if his strength is low, he is not an ordinary person.
After the initial horror, when he saw that the snakes seemed to want to get into the car, he quickly calmed down, picked up a long sword hanging on the side of the console, and got up and walked over to the snakes.
"I'm going to help--"
When the swordsman saw this, he instinctively wanted to get up.
"Don't move yet." The monk gestured, "They may have done this to distract us. ”
The Black Flame Snake's behavior was very abnormal, and as a first-order demonic beast, their attack power was extremely weak.
Even trainee swordsmen who have not yet cultivated their sword qi can completely kill them with brute force.
They like to eat carrion, and generally do not dare to attack the living, and are extremely timid.
But tonight's Black Flame Snake seems to have completely subverted their previous habits, not only is it a head, but its strength is far stronger than that of ordinary Black Flame Snakes, and it dares to take the initiative to approach humans.
The accumulation of so many numbers, combined with their unusual behavior, led the monk to suspect that dark creatures were manipulating them.
Although the Black Flame Snake is not small in size, it looks terrifying, but in fact, with the strength of the driver, it will not be killed in seconds, and it should be able to last for a while.
The swordsman stood up for a moment, but before he could make a sound, then outside the carriage, there was a terrible and unusual scream:
"Ahh
Everyone was attracted by the scream, and they all turned their heads in unison.
Outside the car window, the man with his bony arm raised also realized that something was wrong the moment he heard the screams of his companion.
It's just that the time from the appearance of the Black Flame Snake to the climb on the body of the car happened too quickly, and he didn't slow down at all.
When he came to his senses and realized that something was wrong, he instinctively wanted to throw away his bone arm and return to the carriage to dodge, but it was too late.
When everyone turned their heads, they saw that the bony arm that he had been carrying on his chest suddenly bent, and five fingers entangled in the black rotten flesh tendons scratched his chest with a 'poof'.
The hard rib was incredibly fragile beneath the skull phalanx, and after being crushed, the bone palm seemed to rummage through its chest for a moment.
The staff's face turned from white to blue in an instant, as if they didn't expect this change to happen.
The moment the pain came, he slowly lowered his head and saw the bone arm raging in his chest.
"It can't be—"
He spoke in a low voice, and with a 'poof' sound, the bony palm grabbed something and pulled it out!
'Bang bang, bang bang! ’
A bouncing bright red heart was grasped in the palm of the blood-stained bone palm, and the staff's breath was instantly cut off.
Blood gushed out and spilled all over the windows, and his body fell backwards with a 'thud'.
"These wicked creatures!" Seeing this, the saint showed a trace of anger and compassion on her face, and stood up with a 'whoosh'.
As soon as the bone arm was successful, it immediately grasped the heart and turned into a dark shadow, and quickly fled in the opposite direction of the train, and disappeared into the dark fog in an instant, without a trace.
"To be able to separate the body, at least to the level of a general."
The monk's tone was heavy, and his eyes narrowed.
According to their previous estimates, dark creatures will be born where darkness is shrouded.
And dark creatures also need to evolve, so if you are shrouded in dark breath, the lowest level of dark creatures will appear initially, and secondly, with the nourishment of dark breath, there will be higher level dark creatures.
At this time, if a general-level dark creature appears, it means that there is already a dark creature with a small boss here, and the dark creature here has advanced at least three times.
It seems that the information of the Federation is not completely accurate, since there are third-level skeleton generals here, then the situation where the misty forest is shrouded in dark aura is definitely deeper than the twelve saints of the Federation originally expected.
"Ahh
At the other end of the water mirror, the driver let out a terrified yell.
Although the door of the train was blocked by the Black Flame Serpent, it was still slowly closing under the drive of magic.
This train is specially made because it is going through the misty forest.
In addition, the twelve saints to be escorted on this trip, and before leaving, several high-level magisters were summoned by the Federation to carry out spell enhancements, and these mutated black flame snakes alone could not be damaged at all.
With a 'squeak, squeak', the door slowly closed at an extremely abrasive speed.
But in the process of closing, those black flame snakes still did not want to leave.
Some of them get stuck in the track of the door, and the friction between the door and the track is like a high-efficiency juicer, crushing their bodies.
Sticky, foul-smelling blood slowly trickled down the special car door, and the flesh and bones made a scalp-numbing 'pop' sound between being squeezed and rubbed.
But these black flame snakes seemed to have been affected by some kind of aura, and their vitality was extremely vigorous.
Even if some of the Black Flame Snakes were half swept into the track of the car door, it did not affect their posture of opening their teeth and claws, and they still scrambled to pounce in the direction of the driver.
'Squeak, squeak. ’
The door closed slowly, and only a gap of about ten centimeters remained.
The driver was stunned by the bloody scene in front of him, and he heard the screams of his colleagues outside, and then he never heard them again.
Although he didn't see what happened to them with his own eyes, he already vaguely knew that something might have happened to his colleagues.
