Chapter 27 (The Mutated Clansmen)
Chapter 27
"Teacher Jemina, why did the beast suddenly appear, it's still in our absence. Kasa, who was running, turned his head and asked. And Jemina, who was also struggling on one side, was frowning, which made the irascible Red a little unbearable.
"I don't know, I haven't seen a strange beast in years, but I always feel that something is strange about this......" Jamina said silently.
"What's the matter?" said Red, hurrying to keep up with the question.
"With only one team of alien beasts, how can it be possible to break through Monet's defenses......" Jemina said intermittently, looking up in the direction of the village.
"Didn't you say anything about the potion, is it a secret weapon?" Red was so anxious that he didn't even pay attention to what Jemina was thinking.
"Then you should know when you see it, what kind of people are infected, will the people become alien beasts?" Kasa helped Jemina analyze.
The hesitant Jemina did not have a clear answer, the three masters and apprentices and a dozen recruits had already run half the way, maybe this kind of run was still a little difficult for the recruits, but for the Jamina and Redcassa brothers, they were very familiar, who made them the strongest combination of the Frost Mountain Clan?
"Teacher, that's our soldier. Kasa saw at a glance that the guards of the Frost Mountain Clan were falling one after another on the mountain road not far ahead, and as soon as these words came out, the three masters and apprentices flashed to the soldier's side, squatted down and helped the soldier's body up.
"Hey...... Are you alright?" Red shook the soldier's body gently, but the soldier's abdomen was torn with a very large wound, and the blood was pouring all over the ground, and he was already angry.
"Captain...... Let go of me, go, don't ...... me...... Dangerous...... The soldier was dying, and Red wanted to ask something, when suddenly, the soldier's head tilted to one side, and blue snake-like veins appeared on his neck, which was shocking. "What is this? Is he poisoned?" exclaimed Casa.
Suddenly, the eyes of the soldier in Red's arms opened suddenly, and inexplicable scales and tentacles began to grow from the torn wound, and the soldier who had fainted and dying just now suddenly convulsed violently, which made Red and Casa, including Jemina, all the recruits, shudder.
I saw that Red quickly let go of the soldier who seemed to be struggling fiercely in his hand, and the moment he let go, the soldier waved his arm that had grown sharp claws and swung it at Red, Red hurriedly dodged, and the claws scratched Red's uniform, almost scratching Red's arm.
"Alien Beast...... This is...... Strange beasts......" Jemina stammered dumbfounded, in the eyes of this veteran, she had never seen this kind of potion that could turn her own people into alien beasts. At this moment, he also understood what the soldier who reported in the cold altar said about the situation.
The guard soldier who had been convulsing for a long time stopped his movements and slowly stood up, only to see that his arms had grown scales and claws, and his body was covered with a lot of disgusting skin that should have been found in foreign beasts from the wounds. He was looking at the group of recruits led by Jemina viciously.
"What the hell are they, are they our people or alien beasts...... Casa asked hurriedly, but before Jemina could speak, the half-human, half-beast monster roared angrily and pounced on Red and Kasa in front of him.
Without hesitation, Red faced the monster that pounced on him, avoiding the claw of the strange beast, and struck a fist with his fighting spirit, blasting this hostile clansman into a strange beast far away, "Obviously, they are no longer our clansmen. Bastard, what the hell is this caused by. With that, Red put away his fist and immediately rushed towards the beast that had just flown out.
"Let's hurry to the village, I'm worried about ......" Jemina tried her best to calm herself, having participated in countless battles against alien beasts, this heroic veteran had seen any formidable opponent, but what a terrifying weapon it would be to transform humans into potions of alien beasts in a more dehumanizing way she had never heard of before.
"Teacher Jemina, a few more of our soldiers have appeared in front of you, but ......" Red, who was not far away, shouted loudly to Jamina and Casa on this side.
"I know, kill them, we're going to the village at once. Jemina frowned, a wave of vindictiveness enveloped her body, and she rushed in the direction of the village with Casa beside her.
After eliminating a few more strange beasts that were obviously transformed from the guards of the Frost Mountain Clan, the group finally arrived at the intersection of the Holy Mountain Pass and the village. Jemina motioned for a dozen recruits to stay where they were, and sent out smoke signals to guide the retreating clansmen, and then guarded the mountain pass to prevent the beasts from entering the mountain. And he and the Redcasa brothers entered the village to rescue the other Frost Mountain guards and clansmen.
The three of them simply assigned tasks, the two brothers Red and Casa, who were responsible for rescuing the clansmen in the village, and Jemina who was responsible for going to the outpost of the village that was first broken through, supporting the guards there and her brother.
Red and Casa were the first to go to the area where the tribesmen lived, and from a distance, there was already a fire burning there, and the clansmen's cries for help and sorrow came and went, and the two brothers ran as fast as they could, telling the tribesmen who had escaped along the way to retreat in the direction of the mountain pass, and continued to go deeper.
"Big brother, they're all attacking their own villagers. In Kassa's slight exclamation, he saw a half-turned Frost Mountain Clansman, a woman, she twisted her body, and her scaly feet stepped on another clansman who was already scarred on the ground, and the clansman who was trampled on his legs screamed loudly, his legs were obviously deformed and broken.
"Bastard, this is the greatest insult to my people. Red's eyes lit up, and he turned into a red figure and slammed into the half-beast clansman, sending it flying. Immediately after that, Kasa appeared next to the attacked clansman on the ground, and came to close to Kasa and Red, who recognized that the man on the ground was a friend of his father, and usually helped the patriarch take care of some things in the clan, similar to the position of deputy.
"My wife has become a monster...... She's going to kill us...... What should I do, is my wife hopeless...... Many people in the village have become monsters. The man, who knew Red and Kasa, was grief-stricken, and then he pointed to the half-collapsed house in front of him, "Help...... Save my daughter, Alan, who was hit by her. Red and Casa followed their fingers to look at the ruins, and then the man's beastly wife stood up again, and staggered over to the three of them, and let out a low roar from their mouths.
"Kasa save people, I'll deal with this monster. Red turned to Kassa, then looked at the man behind him who could no longer stand up, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I had to kill this beast, she's not your wife anymore." After Red finished speaking, without how much the men on the ground struggled and couldn't bear it, he turned around and jumped towards the beast. It can be seen that Red still has some difficult choices on his face, but he knows the answer, that is, he must not hesitate......
After the beast's last roar, it fell to the ground with a thud, and Red reappeared in front of the man who had lost his wife a few seconds earlier. Then...... Casa also picked up a girl from the dilapidated house...... The girl, named Alan, who looked only a few years younger than Red and Casa, had just been crushed by the half-collapsed house, but fortunately she didn't hurt her bones, and Kasa put Alan on the ground, and she immediately ran to her father, and the two hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"Uncle, I would like you to briefly explain why your wife became like that, and did you have any signs before?" Red no longer had the patience to take care of the feelings of the father and daughter, and the current situation did not allow time to be wasted.
"Brother Red, Brother Casa, it's me...... It was me and my mother who were picking herbs outside the village, and suddenly we were attacked by a monster that appeared, and my mother was stabbed by the monster with her tail in order to protect me, but we got rid of the monster and entered the village to report to Captain Monet, but before we could find the captain, several of the same monsters appeared in the village and attacked the clansmen, and the village was suddenly in chaos......" Alan finished in one breath, and looked at Red without blinking.
"Sister Alan, what about after that......" Kasa asked thoughtfully.
"After that, my mother and I were so frightened that we ran back to the house and closed the door, but when I bandaged my injured mother's wounds, I found that there were blue blood vessels on my mother's body, which were very conspicuous. Just as I wondered if my mother had been poisoned, my mother started to run around the house like a different person, and I was terrified, but I couldn't leave my mother ......alone," Alan said, wiping tears from her eyes. But at this time, Red and Casa were really powerless to be distracted to comfort the sad girl.
"Alright, Alan, you quickly pick up your uncle and retreat to the Holy Mountain Pass, where our recruits are in charge of receiving you. Kasa said, pointing to the smoke signal hanging in the air not far away, "We can ensure the safety of the way, but I still hope you can speed up." "Kasa asked Alan to carry his father on his back, the people of the Frost Mountain Clan are in good health, and Red and Kasa know that it is not difficult to let Alan carry his father on his back.
"Brother Red, Brother Casa, there's one more thing...... I was scratched by my mother just now, but there is no change in my body......" Alan said, turning around, only to see that there was also a finger-length scar on her left shoulder, although it was not very deep, but the blood also stained the clothes on her shoulder.
Hearing this, the light in Red's and Kasa's eyes flashed, and they nodded to Alan, turned around and continued to run towards the village. It seems that this clever girl roughly said the answer that Red and Casa were trying to find.
