Chapter 296: Gargoyles

On the purlin on the roof of the Immortal Palace, there were more than a dozen gray stone statues, grimacing and looking at the bottom with a hideous face and a solemn expression, as if they were the evil forces guarding the palace.

"I went, it turned out to be a bunch of statues! Scare Lao Tzu! ”

Lao Wang patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, touched a handful of black sticky on his head, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, "Hey, it's stinky!" ”

"Maybe it's!" Zi Yang kindly reminded him.

Lao Wang was so frightened that he took a step back, and with a "bell", the dog-legged scimitar in his hand touched the edge of the bronze tripod, making a crisp sound, which kept echoing in the empty hall.

"Be careful! These things seem to be alive! Su Rui shouted in a low voice.

Zi Yang and Lao Wang looked up in horror, only to see a gargoyle on the roof whose body seemed to shake.

"Wouldn't it? Can this thing live? Lao Wang struck the bronze tripod again with a dog-legged scimitar.

"Bell~" The melodious voice echoed in the hall, and the standing stone statue seemed to be "activated" by the sound of the bronze tripod, and the gray eyes rolled and slowly opened two huge wings, like a flying dragon!

"Quack," the statue let out a short, shrill cry in its throat.

The three of them were horrified, and hurriedly raised their guns in the air and pointed them into the air, and the gargoyle did not seem to regard the people below as a threat, so he shook his head for a long time, and looked down at them condescendingly, as if he was enjoying a delicious meal.

Lao Wang looked up at the dense gray shadows, and lost his mind for a while, and stammered and asked, "What, what to do?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the gargoyle spread its huge wings and swooped down quickly, and the sharp fangs in its mouth could be clearly seen in the light.

"Bang, bang, bang" The guns in the hands of the three people rang out in unison, and the gargoyle was instantly hit by seven or eight shots, and the blood splashed in the air, spun and fell, and fell down beside everyone with a "poof", knocking a heavy bronze tripod to the ground.

The three of them looked at the falling gargoyle in amazement, only to see that the creature was the size of a muscular adult. There were several holes in his body from bullets, and blood was gushing out. One of the wings snapped, revealing the white bones inside.

The badly wounded gargoyle struggled to his feet, crawling towards them with his mouth wide open and "quacking".

"Bang bang" Lao Wang made up two shots at the gargoyle's head, and the brain splashed when it hit it, and finally lay on the ground and did not move.

"Be careful!" Su Rui exclaimed, and a group of gargoyles rushed down from above. Everyone was shocked, not to mention the pistol at this time, even one person and one machine gun could not stop the collective charge of this group of gargoyles.

Seeing that the three of them were about to be torn to pieces by the gargoyle's fangs and claws, Zi Yang subconsciously hugged Su Rui.

said that it was too late, and then quickly, Lao Wang shouted, grabbed the overlord salamander shield armor that was resting on the side, and put it on the heads of the three of them at once.

"Peng, Peng, Peng", the gargoyle that flew down hit the carapace and made a series of muffled sounds, and the heavy impact smashed Lao Wang to the ground, and even Su Rui and Ziyang were also detained under the carapace, and the three of them were stacked together, unable to move for a while. The gargoyle outside was still falling from it with a bang, a thump.

Su Rui was pressed tightly under Ziyang, and their flashlights also rolled down to the ground outside.

Through the gaps in the edge of the carapace, the gargoyles could be seen slowly moving slowly on the planks, their sharp claws clawing at the boards.

Strangely, the group of gargoyles seemed to have lost their purpose, ignoring the three people under the carapace around them, walking aimlessly outside, constantly making "quack" sounds in their throats.

The sound in the gargoyle's throat was so harsh that it seemed to penetrate the eardrums and vibrate the heartstrings, and everyone was so frightened that they lay motionless under the carapace.

Although Lao Wang's two legs were exposed, he was now ignoring his head, the gargoyle passed through his legs several times, and his heart was in his throat, if it weren't for his strong psychological quality, he would have screamed out a long time ago.

Despite their fierce appearances, these gargoyles seemed to have a very low IQ, completely unaware that the three of them were hiding under the huge carapace, standing in place and constantly circling around.

Su Rui suddenly realized: these gargoyles, like the overlord salamanders outside, have survived in the dark for a long time, and their visual systems have deteriorated.

Overlord salamanders are cold-blooded animals that rely on heat sensing to find prey.

Judging from the blood spewed out by the gargoyle just now, these gargoyles are warm-blooded animals, and they rely on the vibration of sound to locate objects.

The "rattling" sound in their throats is not just noise, but is used for echolocation.

The three of them were covered by the arc-shaped skull of the Overlord Salamander, which invisibly blocked the sound of their breathing, so these gargoyles couldn't sense them.

Although they escaped for the time being, they couldn't just lie on the ground and stay still.

At this time, Zi Yang's face was attached to Su Rui's neck, Lao Wang's head was arched under Zi Yang's armpit, and the three of them were entangled like conjoined babies, and they couldn't hold this position for long.

At this moment, Lao Wang couldn't help but sneeze again—although Zi Yang covered his mouth in time, the gargoyles outside still sensed the sound, and they walked around the carapace anxiously, smashing the surrounding bronze tripods into a clanging noise.

Several gargoyles touched the carapace bone, knocking the massive carapace to the side, revealing the three men almost uncovered.

"Quack"

The gargoyle echolocated in the direction of the trio.

"Poof~"

Lao Wang responded in a timely manner with a long muffled fart. The gargoyles seemed to have exploded......

At this moment, a melodious whistle suddenly sounded outside, and the irritable gargoyles were stunned, and then they spread their huge wings and flew out of the temple gate with a hula. Only the three people who were left lying on the ground stunned.

"What are you waiting for? Run! The old king jumped up and flew towards the gate of the palace, escaping so completely that he couldn't even care about the life-saving carapace shield.

As soon as the three of them ran to the door, they suddenly felt a strong wind pressing on their heads, and when they looked up, they couldn't help but be horrified, and a huge gargoylum above them was flying towards them with teeth and claws.

It turned out that there was a gargoyle who didn't know if he was full or in the mood, and when his companions were looking for prey just now, he had been squatting in the dark and didn't move! While Lao Wang and the others left the wooden platform and ran to the clearing, the gargoyle swooped down from the darkness with great agility.

At this time, there was no shelter around them, there was really no way to hide, there was no way to hide.

Saying that it was too late, it was too soon, Su Rui raised a gun-shaped object in his hand, aimed it at the gargoyle and pulled the trigger.

"Ding", the three of them all felt a shock in their ears, and the gargoylee that flew over was more like seeing a ghost, and it actually braked its body in the air, and the strong air pressure from the wings made people feel suffocated. Before everyone could react, the gargoyle had already turned around and flew away through a large hole in the roof, and several thick rafters were broken by it and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Damn, what kind of high-tech is this?" Lao Wang looked at the sonar gun in Su Rui's hand and asked.

"These monsters use echolocation to sense objects, so their eardrums are very sensitive, and the low-frequency pulses emitted by the sonar gun are like bombs to them." Su Rui said. To be honest, she didn't expect this trick to work.

"Let's go, there's no time to explain!" Zi Yang pulled Su Rui and ran out.

I don't know what the strange noise outside was coming from, I don't know how long this "accident" can delay the gargoyles, they have to find a place to hide before the gargoyles return. Otherwise, with their flesh and blood, they would never be able to resist the siege of these monsters.

The three of them came out of the door of the temple that had been knocked open by the Overlord Salamander, and they could hear a "quack" sound in the darkness above their heads, and they didn't need to be reminded by Su Rui that it was the group of gargoyles using echolocation to find prey.

The three of them looked around blankly, it was really not easy to find a place to hide in this empty underground cave!

"Over there, there's a hole there!" Lao Wang pointed to the distance and said.

The three of them pulled their legs and ran towards the cave, and the gargoyles flying in the air also sensed the three prey, and swooped down like a group of bombers, and when the three of them approached, Su Rui turned around and pressed the sonar gun.

"Ding......

The group of gargoyles that rushed down scattered in panic as if they had been hit by air bullets.

But this hand-held sonar gun has limited power after all, and the gargoyle that was "exploded" hovered in the air a few times before diving down from several directions.

The sonar gun had only a certain distance and range of action, and it was really a bit stretched to cope with such an all-round attack, and after firing a few more times, the battery was also used up.

Zi Yang and Lao Wang pulled out their pistols and fired indiscriminately into the air, covering Su Rui and the three of them to fight and retreat, and finally came to the edge of the cave.

"I'm out of bullets!" After Lao Wang fought randomly, the two magazines had all been emptied.

Ziyang shot two point shots into the air, and when he pulled the trigger again, there was a clattering sound.

The gargoyles flying through the air seemed to sense that they had run out of bullets, and a gargoyle sped down on them—at this rate of impact, they didn't have time to burrow into the hole.

At this moment, a huge object suddenly burst out of the hole behind them, and took the fallen gargoyle in its mouth!

Zi Yang and Lao Wang were defenseless for a while, and were knocked to the side and fell to the ground by this rushing monster, looking at it dumbfounded with their heads held high - what a hell, it turned out to be an overlord salamander again!

The gargoyles in the air "heard" the voice of the overlord salamander, and all of them flew away, and they seemed to be very afraid of this rough-skinned, thick-mouthed and big-mouthed overlord on the ground.

The Overlord Salamander swallowed half of the gargoyle into its stomach with a grunt, and the gargoyle's remaining wings were still hanging from its mouth, trembling slightly.

"The father of the monster you killed has come out, what can I do?" Lao Wang stammered.

This overlord salamander was even bigger than the one killed by Ziyang, and its front leg alone was almost as thick as Lao Wang's waist.

The overlord salamander swallowed twice, swallowed the whole gargoyle into its mouth, and seemed to feel that it was not enough, and stood tall and "glared" at the old king with a look of contempt.

"Wouldn't it? It's me again?! Lao Wang shouted bitterly.

The overlord salamander took a step forward, and the old king turned over with a "whoop", threw off his arms and ran away at a speed of 100 meters sprint. The overlord salamander swung its limbs and chased after it, and Zi Yang and Su Rui had to run after them.

Lao Wang wanted to repeat his old trick and continue to circle around the boulder, but who knew that this overlord salamander was just in the middle of him and the boulder, and Lao Wang was afraid that he would be swallowed by it before he turned around.

Helpless, Lao Wang had to continue to run forward without a head and no brain, and in a panic he looked at the pool in front of him, and Lao Wang suddenly had a plan: What if this monster can't water?

Holding his breath and running to the sand slope where they had just begun to go ashore, Lao Wang flew high with a loud shout, and plunged into the mud and sand with a graceful posture in the air - the wrong distance was calculated, and it was nearly 1 meter away from the water's edge.

The old king pulled his head out of the sand in a daze, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of mud and half a tooth, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw the overlord salamander rushing towards him with the momentum of Mount Tai.

"I'm dead!" In vain, Lao Wang raised his arms in front of him, and closed his eyes in despair.
