275 Running for your life

The town of Xiaojia in front of him was in a mess.

In a town with only two or three thousand inhabitants, almost all the buildings were razed to the ground.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Xinghua and the five people around him couldn't help but gasp. This level of destruction is not achievable by humans, there is no scorched earth, no traces of smoke, no residual smell of gunpowder explosion, this situation can only be formed after being hit and crushed by some kind of large organism.

"Captain, look at the other side of the embankment!"

Ning Yue pointed to a section of the Han River embankment and reported to Zhao Xinghua.

Everyone turned around and looked over there, a section of the embankment 500 meters away had been flattened, and a gap of about dozens of meters appeared on the embankment, where the reinforced concrete was hit by a huge external force to create a "concave" shape, cement and stones were scattered around, and the exposed steel bars in the embankment were also bent downward in one direction.

"You guys stay here, I'll go take a look. Everyone pay attention to the situation around them, if there is any trouble, they will immediately disperse and flee for their lives, remember, don't run together! ”

After Zhao Xinghua explained, a person carried his iron rod and leaned over there carefully.

"I'll go with you."

Ning Yue said uneasily.

"Keep a distance of 20 meters from me."

Zhao Xinghua didn't object to Ning Yue's proposal, but he didn't want the two of them to get too close, he still remembered the way those big catfish ate, and many of the fish caught their prey by sucking. If an oversized object does pop up out of nowhere, it will definitely be able to suck unsuspecting prey a few meters away into its mouth.

………………

"What creature do you think this is doing?"

Zhao Xinghua and Ning Yue had safely arrived at the location of the embankment breach at this time, and Zhao Xinghua squatted in front of a bent steel bar to carefully inspect it, and there was a diamond-shaped scale-like thing the size of a basin hanging on it.

"All I know is that it's supposed to be a big fish."

"I know it's a big fish, but can you tell what kind of fish it is from the shape of this scale?"

"How do I know, let's take it back and ask them. However, Feng Liangshan should know that he had said before that he had done water generation in the past. ”

Ning Yue saw that Zhao Xinghua was squatting on the ground and trying to pull off the scales hanging on the steel bar, and then glanced at the turbulent river below him, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, leave here as soon as possible, and stay away from this river.

He drew his sword from his waist and said, "Get out of the way." ”

Swinging the knife to cut the fish scales, she thought that it would be enough to split the fish scales in two, and it would be enough to take one piece, there was no need to waste time here.

"Po~!"

The razor-sharp titanium knives glided through the surface of the scales, leaving only a not-so-deep scratch on them.

"This thing is so hard!"

Zhao Xinghua only felt that the scale was relatively resilient when he was moving, but he didn't expect that it could withstand Ning Yue's hard slash.

"I'll really have to take it back and study it."

Zhao Xinghua said in his mouth, bent down again, pulled out the fanged dagger from his leg, and stabbed back and forth with his backhand, cutting off the steel bar that was oblique to the riverside from the bent position, and pulled out the large fish scales with both hands.

At this time, the river behind them suddenly rolled up, and the two didn't need to greet each other when they saw this, and at the same time they raised their legs tacitly and ran towards the depths of the land.

"Wow~!"

A huge jet of water erupted from the surface of the river and shot straight behind the two of them.

Zhao Xinghua and Ning Yue are also experienced people, and they don't need each other's orders, and they jump in the left and right directions at the same time.

Ning Yue is known for his speed, just a few breaths from the various chaotic and collapsed buildings on the shore, when he felt that there was nothing behind him chasing him, he looked at the position, exerted his strength with both feet, and with the help of the inertia of fast running, jumped onto a big locust tree on the side of the road, grabbed the branch with one hand, and looked back at Zhao Xinghua.

Zhao Xinghua chose a green road leading to the riverside as the escape route, which he had also observed before arriving at the riverside. He didn't have the perverted speed of Ning Yue, and he couldn't move quickly and freely on various obstacles, but fortunately, the injury on his leg had fully recovered at this time, otherwise there was a chance that he would be chased by the large creatures behind him today.

Zhao Xinghua, who was running wildly all the way, didn't know what kind of creature was behind him, and he didn't dare to look back, holding his breath, he ran along the brick and mud ground with his head bored, he could feel that the creature was not far from him, and the speed of action on land was also very fast, so he couldn't help but wonder if he had encountered a snake-like creature such as a big yellow eel again. If there is a big water snake chasing after him, then the chance of escaping is very slim, except that thing can't go to the sky, where Zhao Xinghua can go, the other party can reach it.

Zhao Xinghua, who was running wildly, threw away the heavy iron rod the moment he turned around to run for his life, and it had no effect on this oversized mutant creature with that thing, and it also affected his escape speed. After running for a short while, he threw out the scales he had gained from the adventure in his arms, although this thing was not heavy, but the wind resistance was very strong, affecting his speed.

"To the right! Escape to the bridge! ”

Ning Yue saw Zhao Xinghua's predicament, and already understood that it was difficult for him to get rid of the terrifying big fish chasing behind him if he ran in a straight line like this, so he stepped on the branches of the boulevard and chased all the way over to remind Zhao Xinghua condescendingly.

Zhao Xinghua, who was running wildly, looked up and looked ahead, and saw that there was an intersection a few meters ahead, so he hurriedly stretched out his right hand, grabbed the lamppost at the fork in the road, and turned back with inertia.

When it lands, it rolls forward with the help of inertia, which dissolves the momentum caused by fast running. A heavy crash sound came from behind him, the big fish didn't expect that the prey he was chasing would suddenly change direction without warning, the huge body, no limbs, just relying on the violent twisting of the body to urge himself to slide quickly on the ground, but he couldn't make this kind of emergency stop and sudden ninety degree change in the direction of progress, watching himself and the prey pass by, and there was no way to immediately take corresponding measures, the big fish's head appeared in a brief confusion at that moment, The brain gives a wrong command to the motor nerves of the body.

"Run! See what a lively! ”

Ning Yue, who was standing on the trunk of the tree, shouted to Zhao Xinghua, who stopped in place and looked back at the excitement.

Zhao Xinghua was like a large car accident behind him, a strange fish bigger than a locomotive, rolled dozens of meters away, like a high-speed train, derailed in an instant, it rolled over, coupled with its huge weight, the sound of trees falling and houses collapsing over there kept coming.
