Chapter Seventy-Five: The Sea of Scythes
In the mountain stream into which the acid waterfall flows, countless acid liquids burst through the air and pour straight down, occasionally lapping the pools infected with the corrosive liquid, splashing green ripples that radiate to the surroundings.
And around the mountain stream, in those green acids, countless red dots began to appear. A large area of dense water that covers almost the entire layer of waterfalls.
In the interweaving of red and green, countless roaring voices sounded, and shadows hunched over their waists flashed quickly, looming between the waterfall and the Gibbs crystal.
Soon, they all came together, and their bodies froze, allowing people to see what they were.
The hideous, sharp claws, the pelvic blood dripping with green acid, and the scarlet-glowing but degraded eyes all reveal the identity of these things.
All are Scythe monsters, and they come in a wide variety of ways. There are acid, giant, long-tongued, sucking, scorpion, and even many never-before-seen varieties.
They are staggeringly numerous, overwhelming, and black. The group of sickle monsters that Mi Xiang Eight encountered before was simply compared to the earth and the sun.
And on the edge of that acid river, the same scene is being played.
The same thing is happening in the surrounding Gibbs Mountains.
Countless scythe monsters suddenly popped out of what people thought were safe, and then they unexpectedly gathered together.
Turning into an afterimage, they galloped away in the same direction.
And that direction is the direction in which Mi Xiang led the seven people to retreat quickly, that is, the direction where the cave was located when they came.
They were so fast that as soon as Mi Xiang and the others were halfway through the retreat, they were completely surrounded by a black oppressive patch.
"Alright, now you should have figured out what was going on." Mika stopped first, and didn't run any further. Because there were endless scythes all around, the blackness had completely sealed off all their paths.
The speed of these scythes was so fast that he could relate to that. From the discovery of them popping out of nowhere, to leading everyone to start fleeing, to now being completely surrounded, the time before and after should not have taken more than two minutes.
"Understood, the giant acid scythe that Zhen Wuyu killed should be the leader of all the scythe monsters in this area." Ike said with an expressionless analysis, and there was still endless calmness flashing in his dark eyes,
"The Scythe Monster, a creature that feeds on energy crystals, is obviously not low-intelligence, and already has enough wisdom. Their rule should be this: choose the strongest individual as the leader, and although the leader is strong, he cannot command all the sickles unless there is an emergency. This actually embodies a kind of 'democratic' thinking in it.
And the scream of the giant acid sickle before it died must have signaled an attack on all the sicklemen. ”
"That's a good analysis, corporal, you know, even I didn't think of that." Mi Xiang slapped his palms, and a smile appeared on his face, "But it's too late to say anything now, we're going to die." ”
Indeed, in the face of countless armies of sickle monsters, weapons from 300 years ago were almost useless. If you use a large-caliber cannon, you can only withstand a temporary attack. And if Ike didn't have it, he wouldn't be able to use it, because he wouldn't have had time to instruct others on how to operate it.
And looking forward through the position of Mi Xiang's side face, you can see the overwhelming sea of monsters.
Yes, this is a sea of monsters, and all kinds of scythe monsters with the instinct to kill are gathered together at this moment. There were so many of them that there was barely room left to stand on each other. However, despite this, their whole body is not even chaotic, and it still seems to be in order.
A large black frenzy struck, completely obscuring the emerald green light emitted by all Gibbs crystals, and it was overwhelming.
They were approaching at a rapid pace, only a few dozen meters away from Mi Xiang's eight people.
"Hiss, howl" The scythe's cry was originally a deep hiss, much like the sound of a snake swallowing its core. And so many sickle monsters roared at the same time, and suddenly countless hiss sounded, deafening and terrifying.
Looking at the sea of scythe monsters that swept in, Mika dropped the ACR assault rifle to the side of her thigh and did not shoot.
Because all of his magazines had been used up, there were only 31 rounds left at the moment, and he had to wait until the Scythe was approaching before shooting. And the same is true for everyone else and Mi Xiang.
All of them had cold faces, they were ready to die, no one was afraid or frightened, not even Vasily.
It's just that they are a little unwilling in their hearts, after all, they finally managed to contact a special team of Zoomlion before, and it is very likely that they will be rescued after a while.
However, who would have thought that they would be surrounded by these beasts again, and there are so many of them, it is really better to be counted as human beings.
The five-person team didn't play any role, and I hope they don't come, otherwise there will be a few more ghosts.
"Now we are mortal." Captain Mika had an indifferent face, looking at the strange tide that was about to devour his own people in about 20 seconds, and he almost shouted this sentence in a roaring manner, because the noise around him was too loud.
"A few days with you guys have been good." He was slightly angry, and his face was terrifyingly drenched by blood, but a sunny smile appeared, "Soldiers, you are already the pride of East Point. ”
The faces of everyone present couldn't help but be moved, and their cold faces were melted by the infectious words, they knew that this was about to be the last time in their lives.
Captain Mika, as the commander they had come all the way, was also going to die at this time. Following those who died the Blue Guards, along with them.
"If you have any last words, let's explain them here." Mi Xiang smiled slightly, and he also made a small joke, "Mosina doesn't need it, he has already written a suicide note in advance, but unfortunately he can't send it." ”
After speaking, his expression turned cold again, and at the same time he picked up the ACR assault rifle.
Snia, I'll meet you soon.
And now there are almost 10 seconds left.
The Scythe Ocean flowed through countless Gibbs crystals, slicing them all into pieces before devouring them into its belly. There is no crystal in the place where it passes, like a locust passing through the border.
Confession of last words?
It's really time.
Ike looked at the cyan sky quietly, it seemed that the stars of the planet were not yet visible due to the weather, and the Gibbs Crystal Mountains in the distance were still faintly visible under the shadow of the scythe ocean.
