Chapter 45: Cerberus
High divers never knew they could run so fast.
The wind whistled past his ears, and the scenery on both sides flew swiftly backwards. His lungs were like cylinders about to explode, and they snorted with a terrible roar. The overloaded leg muscles were already precursors of imminent cramps, and he didn't know how long he could run like this.
At this moment, a street fountain appeared in the sight of the high diver, and the silver water chain formed a fan that swirled and swayed in the night. The wide road divides more forks here, and the high diver does not slow down, but secretly lifts his breath.
His feet thumped to the ground, gravity seemed to lose some of its effect at this moment, the two-story curtain of water splashed silver at his feet, the damp mist hit his cheeks, cold as a light rain, he hit the ground heavily, staggered, and realized that he could jump farther.
He stopped running.
Trying to smooth his breathing, the high dive slowly turned around, staring fiercely at the beast from hell through a silver curtain of water.
It's not much the same as the canine-shaped monster in my memory, but the monster in front of me seems to be even bigger than the monster in my memory. Its head resembles an enlarged version of a Pitbull, its huge eyes like two burning fire holes, its large wrinkled mouth showing its sharp teeth like a meat grinder, and white saliva dripping from its mouth to the ground. Red demonic fire sparked all over its body, and the air in front of it distorted with the blazing heat.
The monster stood on the other side of the fountain, silently opening its gaping mouth as if threatening, as if yawning in boredom.
"Cerberus, huh?" said High Diver, with a sinister smile on his face, waving the Twilight Blade in his hand and exclaiming, "Come on, come here, Daddy has dog bones here." ”
High Dive clearly saw the monster on the other side grin mockingly, then kicked on its hind legs and pounced.
The muscles of the high diver's whole body moved together in an instant, and he quickly flew through the curtain of water from under the Cerberus like a cheetah, and pounced into the pool. It was only a fraction of a second, but he could feel the clothes on his back almost burning, burning painfully.
The water was less than a meter deep, and the cold water relieved the burning pain in the high diver's back and made him secretly relieved, indicating that the fountain was not made of circulating water.
The monster on the opposite side landed heavily, and a cobweb-like crack immediately appeared on the concrete floor. This time the monster did not rush to attack again, and slowly approached the pool like a cat playing with a mouse.
The temperature of the pool water surged rapidly as the monster approached, and the face of the high submersible at the bottom of the water rose red, revealing the dark green pool water, and he saw that the monster on the edge of the pool was like a small mountain of flames, and finally pressed down.
That's it.
Gao Qian's hand finally touched the protruding valve, and the muscles in his body fluttered, and the water valve embedded in the bottom of the cement pool was torn off by him.
A huge jet of water erupted from the broken water supply pipe, and the body of the Cerberus was violently slammed by the impact of the water, and the thick white smoke suddenly rose as if it had detonated several smoke bombs. The high diver took the opportunity to roll rapidly and jumped out of the pool.
The fountain made a loud thud behind him and fell apart. The broken pool walls, statues, pipes, and all kinds of debris shot out in all directions, and he ran out of several meters with his arms to protect his head and face, and then turned around.
Cerberus tumbles over in the rubble of the fountain, struggling angrily. The powerful jets of water from the underground pipes made it impossible to stand up for a while.
Gao Qian guessed that he had used a little bit of strength just now, and it seemed that it was not only the valve that was pulled off, but also the main water supply pipeline.
But that's more than that.
There was another loud bang, and the ground where the fountain was located suddenly collapsed and quickly spread across the street, and the high dive hurriedly retreated. When the collapse stopped, he looked at the edge of the pit and was secretly frightened.
The collapse actually formed a large crater with a diameter of more than 15 meters and a depth of several meters, and the yellow muddy water quickly gathered at the bottom of the pit into a pool, and the water level continued to rise. Cerberus emerged from the bottom of the water, like a black hill, and fluttered furiously at the bottom of the pit.
High Diver knows this level of deep pit, and he definitely can't trap Cerberus for too long. He gritted his teeth, gripped Twilight's Blade, and jumped down.
Without the flames, the scales on his head were as jagged as a reef. As soon as the high diver's feet touched the head of the Cerberus, he was jerked off and nearly fell into the water. With his left hand, he grabbed the horn scales of the back of Cerberus's head, and with his right hand, he held the Twilight Blade high and stabbed the monster in the back of the head.
At this moment, the monster slammed its head against the cave wall, and the high diver's shoulder hit the protruding stone hard, and under the severe pain, his left hand slipped and he fell into the water.
The pool was so yellow that it was impossible to see underwater, and the huge currents of water from the ruptured underground pipes were still gushing out, and the high dive was tumbling in the water like a plastic ball in a washing machine. Seeing was no longer usable, and he was now completely reliant on his own hearing, trying to discern subtle and unusual movements in the turbulent current.
He grabbed a raised stone on the wall of a cave and stabilized his body, and the water suddenly twisted at this moment, and the high dive dodged with all his strength, and with a bang, the rubble scattered and cracked around him.
A few of the larger pieces hit the high diver, causing him to flip several times in the water. He hurriedly paddled to the surface, he saw the whirlpool formed by the water where the monster was, took a deep breath, and dived again, this time, he pounced on the canine-shaped monster.
The monster clumsily adjusted its stance in the water, its huge body slowly turning its angle like a cruiser in the powerless water.
High Dive dodged the monster's fanned feet, and after rolling a few times in the current, he took advantage of the turbulent momentum to lunge again. The monster's massive paws slapped against his cheek, bringing up a stream of water that deflected his attack. But it's nothing, the stab doesn't hit the neck, the same goes for the stab in the stomach, it's a big deal that he stabs a few more times, in the water, he is more agile than a giant monster.
He slammed into the monster's body like a cannonball, the blade of the dagger was like a stab into tofu, and his hand hit the hard scale armor and broke as if it hurt.
Like a machine that has lost power, Cerberus stopped struggling and slowly sank into the depths of the water.
Killed with a single sword!
A burst of ecstasy swelled in Gao Qian's heart, which was even cleaner than when the strong man scavenger slaughtered the hellhound. It turns out that this seemingly unedged toy knife is so good against monsters, he finally killed a monster, haha!
High Diver stepped on the water and rushed out of the water, excitedly looking at the Twilight Blade in his hand. In the moonlight, the iron-like blade was slightly brighter than usual, with a strange transparent texture, as if another world could be seen through it.
What a good knife!
The ecstasy recedes, and the dive then discovers a serious problem, exhausted and unable to climb up the slippery cave wall.
"Hey!" he cried out, "anyone?
There could be no ordinary people in the Infernal Realm, and the shouts of the high dives echoed alone in the silent night.
