Chapter 22: Encounter with the Monster Army
The rain gradually stopped, and the three gnostics also walked out of the tree hole where they sheltered from the rain, breathing in the fresh air after the rain. The rain in the arena is artificially generated and does not accompany lightning, so it is perfectly safe to hide under a tree.
Originally, according to the meaning of Gnostic, no matter how heavy the rain is, it will continue to move, because of the mysterious enemy's powerful tracking ability, it is difficult to say whether it will be weakened by the heavy rain, if it is not transferred in time, once it is locked in the direction, it will be too late to leave. But the truth is not as simple as planned, not to mention that two ordinary teenagers, even if they are gnosis, they can't bear it in such a heavy rain. It is true that adventurers are extremely immune and it is difficult to get sick, but that doesn't mean they are not afraid of cold and heat. The temperature in the arena is about sixteen or seventeen degrees Celsius, it is the climate of the spring and autumn season, and the tributes are not too thick, at this time it rains, and the bone-chilling cold is still more than the midwinter wax moon, and even if you don't catch a cold, your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Even now, despite taking shelter from the rain in time, Pita still caught a cold, and his forehead was hot and coughing, apparently with a fever. If it is gnosis in the past, in the face of such useless plot characters, it is generally simply abandoned. Anyway, Katniss has not yet sparked a spark with Peta, and in this crisis situation, even if Gnosis offers to abandon Pita, Katniss will not resist violently. But for some reason, when the spirit knew this plan, he would always think of the foodie's words: "I am an adventurer, and my code of conduct does not need to be defined by others...... I like them and I want them to live......"
In all fairness, Gnosis also likes these two shy and awkward teenagers, not to mention that the three of them are the same age, although they usually don't have deep contact, they always have some common topics, and if they have a choice, Gnosis also wants them to live...... However, here, in this cruel hunger games, in this cruel urban warfare system, adventurers, do they really have a choice? And Katniss and Peta, are they human beings or props?
Shaking his head vigorously, Gnosis put these nonsense behind, turned to the two of them and said, "Can Pita still go?" If not, let Katniss hold you, let's get out of here, we've been here for too long!" ”
Pita looked at the thin Katniss beside him, gritted his teeth and stubbornly stood up straight, but after all, he was sick, his limbs were weak, and he was still unstable under his feet. Fortunately, Katniss quickly helped him to not fall a, "I can help you ......" the thin girl whispered, I don't know whether it was shy or dull, Katniss was always this kind of low tone, although not very likable, but full of personality.
The three of them packed up their things and finally pulled out. Gnosis also knows the weakness of its own gods, so it didn't reactivate after it rained, and now try to reactivate, only less than one-tenth of the paper figures can still be used, and the rest are wet by the rain, and the spiritual power is gone. Gnosis picks three groups and activates them, but is soon notified of the attrition. Although the rain has stopped, the forest is wet everywhere, and Shikigami is still sensitive to water erosion, and often a single foot into a puddle of water, or a bird landing and shaking the stagnant water from a tree branch can be reimbursed as a stand-in. In this way, even if the rain stops, the power of gnosis is no longer useful.
Less than five minutes after the three of them left the tree hole, Soros and his party arrived. The ground was muddy and wet after the rain, and the footprints were clearly visible, and the whereabouts of the three Gnostic people were clear at a glance. Soros smiled confidently, pointed to the direction where the footprints extended and said to the Moon Demon: "Catch up, allow you to kill and devour at will!" The Moon Demon cheered excitedly when he heard the order, and his wings fluttered off the ground, hovering twice in mid-air, and then quickly chased after him.
The terrain of the arena is complicated, and it is a five-minute walk away, and it is possible to fly in a moment, and the Moon Demon saw the three Gnostic people in the distance, and without saying a word, he directly dived down, trying to kill with one blow.
With a pop, the struck Gnosis shattered into a puff of smoke, and Katniss and Pita next to them also exploded one after another, and the Moon Demon was shrouded in a puff of smoke and temporarily lost his vision.
"It's now, quick!" The Lingzhi body hidden not far away roared, and Katnis, who was lying in ambush on the other side, pulled a bow and arrow, and with a whoosh, a sharp light shot into the smoke. Katniss didn't stop and continued to shoot the second and third...... As long as the monster that fell from the sky didn't come out of the smoke, she kept shooting. After firing five arrows in a row, Katniss couldn't help but have sore shoulders and arms, and her fingers trembled, and then stopped. And the smoke gradually dissipated, revealing the outline of the Moon Demon......
The Moon Demon's hideous and strange appearance certainly surprised the three of them, but what was even more terrifying was the whereabouts of the five arrows. Between the Moon Demon's slender fingers, she fiddled with five sharp arrows like a pen, and when she saw the location of Katniss and Gnosis clearly, the corners of her mouth curled, revealing a hideous smile, and she threw the five arrows back with a flick of her hand!
Katniss couldn't react, but Gnosis could see the power of this move, and she pounced on Katnis, dodging the Moon Demon's counterattack. And the five flying arrows were nailed deep into a huge tree behind the two of them, and they were very powerful.
After dodging this trick, Gnosis didn't say a word, pulled Katniss up and ran wildly. Although it was only a few tens of seconds for the Moon Demon to appear this month, the strength of the table was really amazing. Whether it is the agility of catching arrows with bare hands in the smoke, or the power of throwing five arrows in the hand, it is not something that the average entry-level adventurer can compete with. All we can do now is run away, and ......
"Foodie foodie! We're in big trouble! Gnosis yelled at the Miracle Badge.
"What's wrong?" Ma Le was still searching for the escaped Moon Lake and Ophelia, and suddenly received a call for help from Gnosis, and he was also stunned.
Gnosis gasped as he ran, and replied, "I don't know very well, but there is a terrifying mutant creature chasing us, it has sharp limbs, wings and can fly, and its strength and agility are initially estimated to be above forty points, and we can't resist it...... Oops! ”
"What's wrong?" Ma Le heard the screams of Gnosis and hurriedly asked. "It's okay, I just tripped over the roots, the monster hasn't caught up with us yet, I'll share the coordinates with you, you come over quickly, we may be able to kill it together!"
As soon as the call was disconnected, Ma Le received a Gnostic share, and a green dot of light appeared on the map of the Miracle Badge, showing the location of Gnostic. Looking at the speed at which the point of light moved, it was indeed being chased. Without saying a word, Ma Le ran at full speed towards Gnosis.
The speed of the Moon Demon is certainly much faster than that of Gnosis and Katniss, but after the mutation, this Moon Demon has a deformed physique, with a height of more than two meters and a half, huge wings, and unusually long limbs, which makes it really inconvenient to move in the dense forest. And once it flies into the sky, there is a canopy in the way, and as long as the gnosis deliberately hides, it will be discovered.
Lingzhi and Katniss ran for a while, finally throwing the Moon Demon out of the way, and the two found a collapsed hollow tree trunk in the mud and hid inside. Lingzhi unleashed an air cannon on the mud he had just stepped on, blowing the dirt into the air and leaving no footprints. It's not the first time Katniss has seen this kind of magic trick, and although Gnosis is vaguely explained, Katniss is not a nosy person, as long as it is beneficial to him, he doesn't care what magic skills he has!
The two hid in the trunk of a tree, holding their breath and not moving. The moon demon chased here, and he was really confused, not to mention that the footprints were broken, and the land was also very badly destroyed. If it was the Moon Lake before, you should be able to think that the two gnostics should be hiding nearby. But now that he has become a Moon Demon, his wisdom has been greatly reduced, and he has become a demonic beast that only knows how to kill and eat, so he did not stay here for long, but instinctively continued to chase in the previous direction.
Gnosis and Katniss breathed a sigh of relief, Katniss planned to go out, but was stopped by Gnostic: "Don't worry, wait a while, make sure it's far away and we'll go out again......" Katniss nodded when she heard this, and the two still waited patiently. After about five minutes, Katniss suddenly asked in a low voice, "You say, could that monster be with the killer bees that have been harassing us all this time......
This reminded the Gnostic, and the glasses girl suddenly realized that if the enemy could control animals, why couldn't this monster be controlled by the other party? Before, this monster was too strong, so that Gnosis subconsciously had an illusion, it must have nothing to do with the guy who played with bees! But now that I think about it, if it is any case......
As soon as Gnosis thought of this, he suddenly heard a movement outside the trunk of the tree, and several mutant hounds ran over, raised their noses and sniffed, and decisively pounced in the direction of the two of them!
"I've been discovered, let's go!" Gnosis shouted, pulled Katniss and quickly climbed out of the tree trunk, and as soon as he showed his head, a bloody mouth was close in front of him! Gnosis was also born and died in several worlds, and reacted quickly and decisively when encountering the situation, punched the hound in the chin with his left hand, causing the monster to close its mouth in the air, and reached out with the long dagger on his waist with his right hand, and after slashing it close to his cheek, he stirred it hard and took the beast's dog's life.
The next few pounced, and Katniss also climbed out of the hole in the tree, and before he could stand firmly, he shot one with his bow, and Gnosis threw out two god doubles to confuse the wild dogs, and while the wild dogs attacked the doubles, Katniss shot two more, and Gnosis also stabbed one.
Originally, this mutated creature was fearless, but this time it was different, Gnosis and Katniss worked together to solve the four heads, while the remaining ones no longer pounced, but wandered around the periphery, as if waiting for something.
Gnosis noticed something strange about the hound, suddenly reacted, and hurriedly turned around to defend himself. But it was too late, and as soon as the double ponytail glasses girl turned around, she was hit by a huge figure, flying several meters and hitting the trunk of the tree before stopping.
What the hounds are waiting for is this huge figure, the most terrifying summoned creature of Soros - the Moon Demon!
