Chapter 17: Monsters
At this moment, the woman who was in control of the reins reined in the horse.
"What's wrong?"
Rorschach thought she had found something, and asked as she looked around.
"Forest."
"Huh?" Rorschach didn't react for a moment, "Forest? What happened to the forest? ”
The woman turned over and dismounted, the long knife crossed her chest, looked around vigilantly, and whispered, "Between Dulan and Martin Town, there is no forest. ”
Her voice was visibly much more serious, and it also brought with it some nervousness in the face of the unknown.
A large forest suddenly appeared on the road where there should not be a forest, and it was difficult to accept this unbelievable thing in front of anyone for a while.
Except, of course, for Rorschach, after all, something more outrageous has befallen him.
Rorschach also dismounted, staring at the foggy forest around him, "Is it ...... Is this another world? ”
……
"Another world?"
Jason looked at the ordinary-looking soldier in front of him, it was him, and he didn't hesitate to kill the person who affected everyone's mood.
Now, he has come up with an even more striking inference.
"Don't you think Martintown has become a stranger?" Limu's voice was still so characteristically hoarse.
"Could it be a hallucination?" Jason frowned and said, "We've been told that these fogs are poisonous, and that the poisons may have hallucinogenic effects. ”
"Pull everyone into the same hallucination?" Lim looked at Jason, "It's not something toxin can do. ”
"Anyway......" Lim turned to everyone, "there are monsters in the fog, but we must get out, and I'm willing to lead a team to find a way out." ”
"Someone...... Would you like to come with me? ”
Limu's gaze swept over everyone.
Everyone he saw lowered their heads one by one, and the squad leader was no exception, he had already lost an arm, and it was not a matter of an arm to face those ferocious and violent monsters again.
"If you go out now, won't you be sent to death?" A soldier whispered, although he was a little lacking in confidence, but he also said the doubts in everyone's hearts.
"Flintlock pistols don't work against them at all, I've seen them pop their heads with my own eyes, and those monsters can continue to pounce ......"
His body trembled as he spoke, apparently remembering the frightening scene from before.
"They can't kill ...... at all"
"Nope."
Lim interrupted him, and he looked at everyone, "They can be killed." ”
……
The fog was churning, and the trees seemed to be exceptionally tall in this mysterious forest.
Rorschach and Cornelia had been standing there for a moment, both sensing something was wrong.
At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded from the depths of the mist!
Whether in his previous life or in this life, it was the first time that Rorschach had heard such a terrible scream, as if the pain had penetrated deep into his soul, and it was terrifying to hear.
Left front?
As soon as Rorschach determined his direction, he saw that the woman in front of him had rushed towards him with a knife.
He instinctively wanted to back away, because his intuition told him that the left front was extremely dangerous!
But...... Nor did he feel that he would be safer to slip away alone than to be with her.
So, Rorschach hurried after her and found her behind a tree.
Instead of moving on, she stood stiffly behind the tree, trembling a little.
She's scared?
Rorschach stopped and walked slowly.
No way...... This strong woman's combat power is extremely amazing......
Suspicious, Rorschach approached her and looked in the direction where the screams were coming from.
At this glance, he saw the most terrifying picture in his two lives!
A short, grayish-white, sticky, slippery humanoid monster was holding a hammer high and smashing it down one at a time!
"Smack......
"Smack......
The sound of flesh and blood sticking was brought out by the hammer.
Although it is only half the height of an adult, it has amazing strength.
A pair of vertical, snake-like eyes, without a bridge of the nose, and two bare holes are nostrils, without ears, which are also replaced by two black holes.
It grinned like it was grinning, and a forked tongue was exposed, and yellow mucus was dripping from between its teeth......
Beneath the hammer, stained with minced flesh and blood, was a corpse that had been smashed into pulp.
It seems that the scream just now was his last words.
Rorschach's pupils constricted, no wonder she was frightened.
This terrifying creature should not exist in this world at all......
What is it?
Although it is humanoid, it can also be seen with obvious snake characteristics.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the followers of Kugar.
Could it be that these monsters were bred by them?
At this moment, Rorschach thought a lot.
Just as he patted Cornelia on the shoulder, ready to tell her to go quietly.
Suddenly, there was an extremely terrible chill behind him!
Rorschach immediately turned his head, and his nerves tightened to the tightest in this instant.
However, what was in front of him still made him stiff.
A grayish-white, sleek body hugs the trunk of a tree.
A pair of cruel and terrifying vertical eyes were staring at him......
……
"What did you say?"
Limu's remarks overjoyed everyone.
Why didn't you say this earlier? As long as there is a way to take out those monsters, getting out alive will definitely not be just a luxury!
Lim was not too eager, he glanced at the crowd and said, "Backs, their weakness is in the backs, as long as they can destroy their spines, they can't move anymore." ”
"Moreover, I suspect that it is not the brain that gives the command to control the movement of their entire body, but the spine."
Backbone......
Silence fell again in the warehouse.
Those monsters were so swift, how could they attack their spines?
No wonder he didn't say it before...... It is impossible for a person with that kind of skill to be a soldier here, and he has long become the personal bodyguard of the nobles.
Still no one responded to Limu's words.
Now enter the depths of the fog to explore the way, and the survival rate of nine deaths and life is extremely high.
No one wants to die.
"I'll go with you."
The woman's voice sounded, and everyone turned around to see Elsa.
This made the soldiers bow their heads, especially since the girl didn't look very old.
Jason also glanced at his sister and didn't stop her.
"Two people, that's enough." Lim glanced at Elsa, not showing an extra expression because she was a woman, "The team is too bloated and troublesome. ”
"Limu!" The squad leader threw it away, and a sheathed dagger flew towards Limu.
Limu caught it steadily.
"If you come back alive, you'll be the captain." He twisted his head to the side, knowing very well that he had lost his identity as captain in the moment of silence just now.
Lim glanced down at the dagger and didn't speak, and after a moment, he turned to look at Elsa, "Can you be like him?" ”
The "he" in his mouth, of course, refers to Jason, and like Jason, he is obviously referring to Jason's amazing performance against those monsters just now.
"Yes." Elsa didn't say much.
Lim nodded, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go." ”
