Chapter 453: Death?
How would you react when you were suddenly grabbed by the shoulder by a terrifying-looking rotting corpse in a silent and dark environment, and the other party brought the rotten head to a very close distance?
"Ah!!h
Anyway, at that moment, Xia Liu? Gulund only felt that his soul was about to be frightened out of his body, and even subconsciously screamed like a woman, and his whole body trembled violently at that moment.
"Ho......!"
The carrion corpse behind him was not frightened by Xia Liu's screams, but took advantage of the other party's frightened loss of an inch, opened his mouth and roared very hard, and bit the bloody mouth full of stinking blood towards Xia Liu's face directly.
In the end, Xia Liu? Gulund was still pinned on by his father, who was the head of the Gulund family, and finally reacted in time at this moment of great crisis, twisted his shoulder and broke away from the palm of the carrion on his shoulder, and turned his head sideways to avoid the first bite of the carrion.
The mouth of the rotting corpse bit into the air, and there was a clear and crisp sound, just listening to this biting sound, you can understand that if the other party's bite really gnaws on the human body, I am afraid that a large piece of meat will be torn off in an instant!
"Ho......!!" The carrion, which missed a blow, opened its mouth again and roared and pounced on Xia Liu.
Xia Liu, who was in a cold sweat behind his back, quickly turned around and kicked it with a flying kick, and only kicked away after making a 'bang' sound that seemed a little dull.
“...... Roar!" The rotting corpse did not fall down after receiving this kick firmly, but only took four or five steps back before stabilizing its retreat, and the one eye that was not completely rotten was covered with thick bloodshot eyes and pounced on Xia Liu again.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Xia Liu was frowning, and his face was very ugly and he cursed. He didn't have any reservations about the kick just now, although he didn't use the body strengthening technique in time, but he also poured a lot of spiritual power into that kick simply and rudely, if it were an ordinary human being, even a person wearing more than ten kilograms of metal heavy armor would have to be kicked away by him, and even the metal armor would be kicked into a dent.
As a result, now, his foot fell on the carrion, and he only knocked the opponent back a few steps?
Obviously, it looks like the body has rotted, and the flesh and tendons in many places are still mutilated, but the opponent's defense and strength are actually much stronger than Xia Liu imagined!
Fortunately for Xia Liu, this carrion corpse didn't seem to be exaggerated, and it was just within the range of what he could handle.
Since simple punches and kicks don't seem to work......
After using spiritual power to simply strengthen his leg strength, Xia Liu stepped back again and again to avoid the follow-up attack of the rotting corpse, and then gritted his teeth viciously, raised his hand and aimed at the rotting corpse from afar.
Lingzi's brilliance erupted from his palm, and it quickly converged into a circular circle of elven magic arrays with exquisite patterns.
"Die! monster!!"
With Xia Liu's roar, the condensed magic array in his palm spun, confined a large amount of spirit child energy and compressed it density, and finally turned into a streamer as wide as a basin and gushed out, hitting the chest of the rotting corpse who couldn't dodge in time due to lack of agility.
This is an offensive elven technique that can be used by beginner elves: "Spirit Cannon". Through the constructed cannonball-type magic array, the spiritual power of oneself is collected and compressed, and then sprayed out in the form of a light cannon.
The principle seems simple and crude, but because the structure of the magic array of this elf spell is relatively simple, the difficulty of casting it is small, the launch speed is fast, and the power is not bad, and it can also increase the power of the spell array shelling according to the input spiritual power, making this spirit cannon technique unexpectedly very practical.
With a loud bang, the carrion was blown out directly, falling into the endless dark fog and disappearing.
"Whew...... Hu ...... "Hanging down his arm that was slightly painful because of the overly hasty operation of the spiritual power to launch the spirit cannon, after taking a few breaths, Xia Liu took the opportunity to soothe the tense nerves a little.
The carrion corpse just now attacked too suddenly, and as soon as it appeared, they attacked him one after another, as the young master of the Gulund family, it was the first time that Xia Liu experienced this kind of danger without the help of the contract elves, so he couldn't help but be nervous.
After calming down a bit, Xia Liu shook his arm, staring at the dark fog in the direction where the rotting corpse was blown away, and his nerves tensed again.
“...... Killed?"
"Roaring ——!!"
The familiar roar came from the darkness, and in an instant, Xia Liu, who just wanted to relax, stimulated his pupils to shrink suddenly.
Then, a fishy afterimage burst out of the darkness and struck him in front of him!
Fortunately, Xia Liu's vigilance was not really let down, so he reacted in time and dodged sideways, but unfortunately, the fierce scarlet wind that hit was still a little abrupt, and he still didn't completely avoid it, and a cut was scratched on his face, and blood splashed out of it with pain.
Unable to wipe the blood stains left on his face, Xia Liu hurriedly turned around, and gradually began to spread all over his body, like electric wires, representing the unique light patterns of the "body enhancement" magic array.
Xia Liu's heart was already beating wildly uncontrollably, rejoicing for his survival. If he hadn't been lucky enough to predict the attacker's attack trajectory just now, then it would be very likely that as long as he slowed down a little longer, his head would have been torn off by the other party, and his head would have been in a different place!
Therefore, Xia Liu did not hesitate to perform the spirit technique of "body strengthening" at this time, otherwise he really didn't have the confidence to dodge the opponent's attack again in the future.
While Xia Liu was anxiously perfecting the "Body Enhancement" Technique Array, he looked vigilantly at the attacker who landed not far from him after missing the blow, and then he was slightly surprised to find that it was actually the carrion corpse that should have been blown away by him before.
The reason why I was surprised was because the previous rotting corpse should not have been so fast that he almost couldn't react.
Then Xia Liu discovered that the current state of this carrion corpse had changed compared to just now.
The first is the posture, the carrion has changed from a human standing state to a beast-like appearance with both hands and feet lying on the ground.
Secondly, on the other party's hands, the five fingers have become much sharper, and there are sickle-like claws that are very hideous at first glance, and the mouth part of the head has also protruded forward a little and opened slightly, revealing a sharp fangs inside.
The only remaining single eye was even more scarlet, and when he turned his head to look at Xia Liu, the bloodlust and ferocity in it could simply overflow, and it was completely looking at the food.
If you want to say an image metaphor, the current image of the carrion corpse is almost exactly the same as the monster class of a certain undead clan in a strategy game that Jiang Yan played in his previous life - its name is 'Ghoul'.
Despite the changes, Xia Liu still confirmed at a glance that this guy was the carrion corpse he had just faced, because the other party still had the scars on his chest from being hit by the "spirit cannon" he had just seen. It was already charred and festering, revealing white ribs, and some of the bones were still broken, and the broken bones were digging deep into the internal organs of the chest.
With such an injury, ordinary people should have died a long time ago, but the ghoul was worthy of its current appearance, it seemed that it was completely unaffected by the injury, and it could still roar with full breath, and even some of the same rotten and blackened fragments of suspected internal organs and a trace of black liquid that seemed to be blood had flowed from the wound to the ground, and there was no reaction at all.
"Ho ho ......" the ghoul roared, turning to face Xia Liu in a crawling position, and then greatly lowered his center of gravity, his claws clasped the ground, his hind legs bent into the ground, and arched his spine like a taut bowstring.
It was clearly a gesture that the beast was about to pounce on.
Xia Liu, who was stared at by the ghoul, suddenly felt the cold hair stand on end at this moment, and subconsciously followed the premonition and slammed over his body.
Then, at the same moment, the ghoul on the other side turned into an afterimage that he could barely see with his naked eye, and swept the ground past the spot where he had been.
Fortunately, during the confrontation, the "Body Enhancement" Technique Array had already been prepared by Xia Liu, and with the impetus of spiritual power, he reacted in a timely manner this time, and finally dodged the ghoul's lightning-fast attack this time without injury.
'Damn, after the change of form, even the movements have become more sensitive?!...... Looking at the stance just now, it should be a burst of concentrated strength in an instant, which is why there is such a fast pounce?"
Xia Liu, who had palpitations, hurriedly turned around, and while summarizing the information, he looked vigilantly in the direction where the ghoul landed.
But he found that there was only a dark fog there, and the other party actually hid directly in the darkness after missing a hit, so that he could no longer successfully capture his position.
This made Xia Liu's heart instantly cool by half, if he couldn't predict it in advance, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to get out of the way just now every time.
Worse was still to come, a roar of "ho-ho-......" came into Xia Liu's ears, but before he could confirm the other party's location, several almost identical roars rang out again from several other directions, and the time was almost in no particular order.
"This is the cry...... There is more than one monster?!" Xia Liu's face changed dramatically in an instant.
Then, without hesitation, he immediately chose a direction where no roar came, instilled spiritual power into his legs, and ran with all his might.
The next moment, several banging sounds of stepping on the ground rose at the same time, Xia Liu turned his head and swept the corner of his eye, and found that there were four ghouls falling to the position he was standing on in a very similar fluttering posture, and the pair of hideous claws were almost more than a foot deep into the ground.
"Ho!"
"Roar ——!!"
Realizing that the prey had actually run away, several ghouls roared angrily, and then pursued Xia Liu with their hands and feet together in the form of a pounce burst maximum speed.
Xia Liu had no intention of stopping at all, but tried his best to escape. If it was only one or two ghouls, he felt that he could barely maneuver around, but even if he only had a cursory glance at the number of the other party, he found that there were at least four or more ghouls chasing him!
In Xia Liu, who now has no contract elves and can only rely on his own elven skills to fight, he really can't deal with enemies of this level.
"Whew...... Whew......"
'Bastard, asshole...... Why am I in this situation!' Xia Liu tried his best to escape, not daring to slow down his pace in the slightest, because he knew that as long as he stopped, then what was waiting for him would definitely not be a good ending.
Even if his lungs were hot because of the violent running, even if the running legs had become sore and still aggravated due to the excessive burden on the strengthening of spiritual power, Xia Liu could only grit his teeth and persevere.
However, when people are unlucky, they are always afraid that something will come.
Xia Liu, who was running, stepped on the liquid like dirty blood, ignoring the fact that the blood that was splashed out of the rust smell and faintly rancid smell had stained his precious clothes, and even the strength to look down to observe the road conditions was almost gone.
As a result, he paid the price, and after running for an unknown amount of time, Xia Liu, who was already a little dizzy, suddenly felt that he had stepped on some obstacle, and then he stepped on the foot of the blood all over the earth, and his ankle was held by a cold hand with a slightly slimy touch.
The hand that appeared unexpectedly was amazingly powerful, and it actually forcibly pulled Xia Liu, who was running at full speed, to stop, and even the whole person fell into the blood in embarrassment, and most of his body was dyed scarlet blood.
Xia Liu, who struggled to get up from the blood, let out a sigh, turned his head to look at the carrion lying in the blood, and then looked at the six or seven ghouls chasing behind him, and finally showed a look of horror on his face stained with fishy and disgusting blood.
"Ahhh——!!h
In the end, however, he was unable to unleash his elven spells, as his outstretched arm was brutally torn off by a ghoul's claws.
"Ahhh——!!h
The ghouls were not polite to him, and directly swarmed up, waving their claws to tear apart his flesh inch by inch, and at the same time, the bloody mouths were also bitten mercilessly.
Even the carrion corpse that was lying in the pool of blood and grabbed one of Xia Liu's ankles climbed forward at this time, and hugged Xia Liu's leg is a burst of wild gnawing.
The scene was extremely bloody, and Xia Liu's screams went from high to hoarse to interrupted, lasting for more than a minute.
With endless excruciating pain, his consciousness gradually sank into darkness.
......
I don't know how long later, Xia Liu's consciousness woke up again from his stupor. The first moment he struck, he sat up from the cold floor.
At the first moment, he subconsciously let out a high-pitched scream containing feelings of despair and fear, and tears flowed down his eyes.
"Ahhhhh......——!!!h I ......?——huh?!"
After screaming for a few seconds, he realized that his body did not have the expected sharp pain of being ruthlessly gnawed all over his body, Xia Liu reacted and stopped screaming stupidly.
He looked around in a daze, and found that he was still in an eerie space of silent silence shrouded in a dark mist, but there were no carrion and no ghouls around.
He touched his body again, which should have been torn apart and gnawed beyond recognition by ghouls and carrion, and found that although the pain of death and the great horror of being gnawed to death seemed to be faintly still there, in fact it seemed to be just an illusion, because his body was actually in an intact state now.
