Eighty-four - First encounter
All the enemies encountered along the way were successfully killed, which is naturally good.
However, at the same time, this also gave birth to a question in the hearts of Ji Yuehua and others.
Most of the members of the military who fell to the ground were killed with one blow, however, the "calamity beasts" they encountered along the way were nothing more than "rabid dogs", "rabid dogs", and "rabid dogs".
In this watchtower, I am afraid there are no survivors.
It is true that for non-Stigmata holders, "rabid dogs" are also a considerable degree of mortal threat, but can "rabid dogs" alone really kill all the military members in this tower? Moreover, so that the latter did not even have time to call for help?
No, before this, a body structure like "Rabid Dog" couldn't have been able to attack with a waist cut and piercing, right?
The wounds don't match, and the monsters that kill people are not the same ones as the monsters they encounter on the road.
"A fork in the road?"
Unconsciously, as Yue Qingque walked up this spiral staircase, he had reached nearly half the height.
Here, the spiral staircase is divided into two parts: the upper and the lower. At the end of the staircase below, there is a small platform that connects to the staircase above.
At the same time, extending from what should have been a wall, next to Ji Yuehua and the others, there was an almost pitch-black road, with only a faint light from the torch on the wall illuminating the surrounding passages.
If you continue to go up, you will naturally climb to the top of the watchtower.
If you walk through the passageway, you probably go to the watchtower on the other side? There were no stairs or anything like that in this position, considering that from the outside, this passage was located on the outer wall of the fortress, and I guess there was some space in the middle to allow people to walk to the wall.
Search operation until now. One thing has become quite clear, that is, the "Calamity Beast" that killed the military personnel here with lightning speed may have already moved to another place.
Even if you climb to the top of the watchtower, you may not find anything. On the other hand, if you run to the other side of the channel, you can walk back to the ground from the watchtower on the other side. Rendezvous with the search force on Xue Hongchen's side.
Should we keep running? Or should I walk straight through this passage to find my sweetheart?
After hesitating for a moment, Yue Qingque finally gritted her silver teeth and walked towards the stairs above without looking back.
She is in charge of the left side, the housing area is handed over to the team members, but the watchtower is directly in charge of her. It would be quite irresponsible for the commander to judge that there is no value in exploring the entire area without exploring it.
Big deal like it just did. Deal with all the enemies you encounter as soon as possible
With this thought, Yue Qingque climbed to the upper floor of the spiral staircase, but at the same time, she also threw this question to Ji Yuehua and the others behind her.
Human eyesight, after all, is limited in the dark, and even the holder of the "stigma" cannot avoid being weakened.
The light projected from the torch is, to put it mildly, not different from the decoration at all, probably because it is assisted by electric lights.
Access to the right. Just by looking at it, you can feel how dangerous it is, and at least it will take four or five people to be suitable for investigation.
However, in this is not a lack of moonlight. There are only six people left, and if five more people are assigned out to Yueqing's side, there will really be only two people left, she and Ji Yuehua.
Now that Yue Qingque has gone up first, what should these subordinates do?
"Ahh
Because of the lack of moonlight, he has always been silent. In the past, when the operation was carried out, it was Xue Hongchen who commanded on his behalf, and if Xue Hongchen was not there, the middle-aged man who was the adjutant was solely responsible for giving instructions.
At this moment, he encountered the situation where Yue Qingque threw the instructions to his subordinates.
As the strongest person in the whole team, except for Yue Qingqing. Leading the remaining team members to explore the danger zone or something, the middle-aged man is naturally duty-bound.
But seeing the middle-aged man, he smiled bitterly and patted Ji Yuehua on the shoulder: "Division, commander, she handed it over to you, do you have any melee weapons?"
"Nope"
"Take this!"
took out a long sword out of thin air and handed it to Ji Yuehua's hand, the middle-aged man made a gesture to the remaining five team members to prepare for battle, and then patted Ji Yuehua on the back hard, "Our princess, don't look at her like this, if there is no Xue Hongchen by her side, she is very confused." I'm not good at melee combat, and I don't want to think about how small the space in this building is, uncle, we still have a little thing to do. This is the weapon I bought too much before, take it and hurry up!"
As soon as he took the long sword in his hand, he was slapped on the back by a middle-aged man.
Ji Yuehua stumbled under his feet, almost unable to stand steadily, but he still heard what the middle-aged man said.
Yue Qingqi's strength is far more powerful than him, there is no doubt about it. However, not being good at using melee weapons is another problem.
Considering the amount of space you see along the way, it would be quite difficult to dodge and the like, and if the moon was close to her body by the "Calamity", the consequences would be unimaginable.
At the moment of regaining her balance, Ji Yuehua used her strength and ran up vigorously.
"Haha! The kid is gone! Now, let's greet these uninvited guests!"
(I didn't expect this to happen when I was on my first mission.) )
Not only was the first place patrolled inexplicably wiped out, but he even shouldered the responsibility of protecting the division commander, which was an unexpected development for Ji Yuehua.
Because Yueqing stepped on the stairs without making a sound, they stood there and hesitated for a while, and they had already opened a distance between each other that was not a short distance.
As they ran up, they seemed to hear the shouts of middle-aged men behind them, and there were faint sounds of metal collisions, and it was obvious that they had already clashed with the attacking "Calamity Beast".
Just now, did the enemy come so close? He was completely unaware of it.
The excitement before departure has long since disappeared at this moment, and what fills Ji Yuehua's heart is only a faint sense of uneasiness and pressure.
"Sister Yue?!!"
By the time Ji Yuehua ran to the top of the watchtower, Yue Qingque, who came first, was already at war with the enemy here.
As soon as Ji Yuehuafu stepped on the last staircase, a black "rabid dog" pounced on him, which was really without warning!!
The fishy wind hit the nose and the pupils couldn't help but dilate.
The sound that came out of his throat came to an abrupt end.
He was still holding the long sword that the middle-aged man had just given him. At the last moment, Ji Yuehua turned his head away, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand slashed upwards sharply!
In the next moment, the silver arc flashed.
But when I heard the sound of "brushing", the feeling of cutting into the flesh and blood came from the long sword in my hand. The black body was split in two in front of Ji Yuehua, blood was sprinkled all over his body, a small face was purple-red blood, and the sharp teeth of the "rabid dog" only stopped at a distance of about ten centimeters from his neck. (To be continued.) )
