Chapter 107: Prison?
The first creature to burst out of the water had never been seen even with Langdon's knowledge, but Langdon was no stranger to the big fish with wings on its back and a spindle-like head.
This thing is definitely a terrifying killer for ordinary people, the pair of periosteal wings on its back is not an ornament, when it is waved, it can easily soar in the air, that is, it is not only in the water, even if it is ashore, it can also exert terrifying strength.
Moreover, don't look at how fragile it is now, it can't even defend itself against bows and arrows, but in fact, it's just that it's defenseless, maybe because it rushed to the center of the pillar of light before other creatures, and there was a delicious food on it, so that it let down its guard and temporarily took off from its combat stance, which gave the soldiers an opportunity to take advantage of.
In fact, below its cortex, there is a layer of solid scales, which are not connected when they are under the cortex, but exist alone, like pieces inserted into its flesh, but once it enters the combat state, these scales will turn out of the surface of the skin, completely covering its body, as if it is wearing a layer of armor, and the defense of the scales is no worse than the physical defense of the strange creature before.
There is no perfect creature in this world, all creatures have weaknesses, just like this big fish, although it can go ashore and even fly, but once it leaves the water, it can't breathe, and can only rely on the gas stored in the huge body to maintain, once the stored gas is used up it does not return to the water, it will suffocate to death, which is why it has these abilities but rarely goes ashore.
At the same time, it is a rare creature that will change dramatically when switching between the normal state and the combat state, the switching process is not short, and it is easy to give people an opportunity, and after entering the combat state, whether it is maintaining the outer layer of scale armor or some other actions, its energy consumption will be several times higher than the usual state, which is why it does not easily enter the combat state.
This is its weakness, it is not easy to see when it is usually in the water, because they have lived in the water for generations, they can already easily recognize the danger in the water, and can switch shapes in advance to deal with the danger.
However, when they get to the shore, the situation is different, they are not familiar with the creatures on the ground, and even their natural combat instincts cannot tell them which creatures are dangerous, just like the moment they burst out of the water, they do not feel the threat from spears and bows and arrows at all, so they are not able to transform in time.
It wasn't until it was pierced into a hedgehog and there was a sharp pain in its body that it wanted to enter the fighting state, but it was too late.
The second wave of attacks, accompanied by dozens of iron hooks, fell on its body again before the scales in its body drilled out of the skin to complete the covering, and while severely injuring it, more than half of the iron hooks also grabbed its body fiercely, and those scales not only did not form protection, but became the grasping force of the iron hook grasp.
Not only it, but even the strange creature that was half gnawed by it was not spared, the outer layer of its body defense is indeed strong, but it broke through the outer layer, and the inside was also very ordinary, several iron hooks grabbed its body directly, and the five fingers of the hook claw pierced deep into the body and grabbed the bones.
Syllable!
There was a loud bang, it was the sound of the bodies of two behemoths slamming on the water, and then, they had no chance to sink at all, Langdon gave an order, and all the people around gathered to grab those hooks and locks, and they dragged them up desperately like a tug-of-war.
The strange creature lost half of its body, it was already dead, and the big fish was pierced twice, and it was also seriously injured, however, as soon as it was dragged, it still tried its best to get back into the water, and the huge body rolled on the water, however, the result of this was that Zhu Lingqi gave an order, and it was two consecutive rounds of attacks, and now, the big fish really became a "water hedgehog".
With the sound of a trumpet, a 10-meter-long body and a huge body of nearly 30 meters were pulled to the shore little by little.
By the time it came ashore, the big fish had only breath out and in, and of course, this had something to do with its inability to breathe on the ground.
Perhaps because the blood of the two powerful creatures in front and behind fell into the river, after the big fish, none of the creatures rushed up again, but they did not leave because of this.
Langdon looked underwater again, the river was still clear, everything in the pillar of light could be seen clearly, there were less than 10 creatures left in the pillar of light, and the number was less than 20, all of them were big guys.
They no longer rushed towards the center of the pillar of light, but swam around the central position and circled, Langdon looked at them, but couldn't help but shudder, none of those creatures looked at him, but he still clearly felt a series of eyes, that gaze contained a strong resentment and killing intent, that feeling, as if they were standing in front of Langdon himself and said, "You deceived me!"
Langdon didn't understand why they were in such a mood, but he knew that it was definitely not a good thing, and after thinking about it, he suddenly said in a loud voice, "Everyone, remove the mirror!"
When the people on the high platform heard this, they immediately did so, and the mirror was removed, and the Heishui River was calm again, and once again beneath the surface of the water was submerged into a deep darkness.
However, the feeling of resentment continued for a long time before finally disappearing.
Langdon knew that as the light faded, the Blackwater River had reverted to that strange and eerie layered state.
"What happened just now," a question sounded next to him, and Langdon turned his head, only to see that Lilith was still looking into the water, and did not look up, but the question must have been asked by her.
Langdon shook his head, banishing away the strange feeling of being entangled, and at the same time a little curious, but he didn't expect Lilith to feel it too, and then he heard Lilith continue: "Do you know what it feels like? It is about to be free, but suddenly it is just a new trap, breaking free from the original prison, and the price to pay is life. ”
"You mean...... There, a prison for them?" Langdon looked at Lilith in surprise, and pointed to the Blackwater River, then asked strangely, "Why did you ......"
Before she finished speaking, she saw Lilith shrug her shoulders slightly, and her hair moved with it, almost unable to stop the mountain peak on her chest, and then she turned around and left here like that.
