Chapter 13: The Night Demon
The ground was full of broken corpses, or more figuratively, it was a piece of flesh and blood. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
A large, bloated monster just sat on top of this cavern.
Hiding behind a rock where he could barely hide, Kerr could even see the ugly folds on his ugly blue face. Fishy saliva dripped from the corners of its mouth, and it corroded the hard granite into small holes. A large, scarlet-eyed eye was still searching for its target.
......
A low slope with a slight arc, and in the sand at the corner of it lies an old mechanism. But now, it's obviously useless.
As soon as he entered the stronghold, a muffled sound like thunder came from the depths. The narrow hole, which could only be allowed for one person to bend over, was expanded to a full seven or eight meters wide by the brute force of the outside world, and around this hole, there was rubble and blood everywhere, and several conspicuous huge handprints were scattered around this vicinity.
"Daredevil, ogre!" Leto screamed, but Kerr quickly pressed down on her head and mouth to avoid the sound. Otherwise, if the thing in the cave is really an ogre, it will be a fierce battle to be discovered by something that has a bad brain.
"Be quiet. Cleo was also nervous by Leto's sudden move.
Kerr took a deep look at the gaffe Leto and gently withdrew his palm. In other words, this whole body is impermeable, and even the eyes are covered with an eyepatch similar to a knight's helmet is really helpless.
"Boss, what should I do this time?" Igusi, who was in charge of organizing the supplies, asked Kerr for his advice, and the old man gently shook the backpack he was carrying, and the sporadic sound in the old rag bag showed that there was not much food and water.
Knowing this, Kerr's face showed a slight hesitation.
If they were to give up now, these food reserves would only allow Kerr and the others to return to the shelter, which would be tantamount to cutting off everyone's supplies, which would be tantamount to disaster, and if they went deep into the stronghold, no one would be able to fight the ogres and get out of the way......
"Let's take a look at the edges, maybe it's not as bad as we thought. The boy made a decision after a while.
During each exploration of the Vault, a team of forty or fifty people will gradually split into ten squads as they approach their destination, in order to avoid the possibility of being wiped out in danger.
But this time, the location where the ogre appeared was too crucial, and the strong smell of blood in the basement suddenly gave Cel a bad premonition.
......
A large black shadow sat in the center of the entire basement, too tall to even stand here, his seven-meter-tall body made him look like a giant, and indeed, he had Cyclops blood in his blood. The scarlet one-eyed one eye on his head indicates that he is the "dominant species" of an ogre, the one-eyed ogre.
Dead corpses were piled up haphazardly on the ground, waiting to be rations for the ogres. In the midst of this, Kerr also saw the figure of Long, who was extremely miserable between the ogre and the corpse of his companion, his body showing a strange twist, and still clutching the broken hand of the wooden spear, even if he died, did not dilute the gloom caused by excessive force.
Although he is not a good person, he is still fighting even at the last minute. Ker, who was hiding behind the rocks, could only silently say "rest in peace" to him in his heart.
In a perspective that normal people can't feel, the second-ring necromancy - the listening of the dead, brings more information to Kerr. In the basement, there was still a lot of noise, and the noisy soul fragments were still struggling and crying, trying in vain to break free from the call of the world and slowly assimilate by the demons around them.
The soul fragments have not yet been dispersed, indicating that the battle has not been over for long.
Kerr suddenly thought of the earth-shattering flat thunder on the way here, which was more like the sound of a heavy object colliding more than ten times more than a dozen times. But in any case, this is not something that an ogre can do.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, the one-eyed ogre, who had been enjoying the food, seemed to be a little full, and lay down slowly, and after a while fell asleep. Falling asleep, in this crisis-ridden world, it can be regarded as a real skill to be able to have such a big heart.
The boy was sweating for a long time, for the ogre's head was facing a patch of grass near the entrance to the cave, where Leto was hiding.
Let's hope she can suppress her evil thoughts, Kerr prayed secretly.
Because of the ogre's nap, as the fat body lay down, the pile of corpses behind it was also exposed.
Eighteen people, Kerr hiding behind the rock, poked his head out slightly and counted. Eighteen people, not counting those whose bones are no longer alive for some reason, a whole team of five squads died here. This would be a heavy blow to shelters, which already have a small workforce.
Kerr frowned, something didn't seem right.
Regardless of the character of the selected exploration team, each of them is an elite who has learned to survive and fight as a team since childhood, and human beings are far from being as fragile as they seem to survive in this troubled world.
Not to mention a one-eyed ogre, a two-headed warrior facing at least eighteen armed adults, and still in such a small but advantageous space, it is very likely to take it even at the cost of a certain number of casualties.
"Boss, could it be an ogre race?" the old man quietly touched the back of Ker.
Apparently, the senile Igusi also noticed this problem.
"No, it won't. Ogre ...... It's a place where they seem to have never been before. The executioner suddenly interjected.
At some point, Clio slipped over with Leto in his arms.
"Boss, this girl is crazy, she just wanted to take the opportunity to jump up and give that night demon a hard blow. Clio grumbled with a bitter face.
Kerr sighed and waved his hand helplessly.
Because Leto's experience is afraid of her impulsiveness, he sends the sane Clio to watch her, in short, he sends you to suffer.
"Not necessarily. Leto, who was still being clamped, suddenly spoke.
"Just like the Shadow Mantis, it has never been seen here before, but this time a female mantis that already has cubs has come directly. After a pause, Leto continued.
"They look like they're ......"
"Migration. The four of them said in unison.
"It seems that the south has been quiet for so long, and the war has finally begun. Kerr said helplessly. The opening of new battlefields often means countless variables, and no one can truly stand alone in this black world.
"Head ......," Leto said suddenly.
"What's wrong?"
"We're in trouble!" Igusi took over the conversation.
At some point, the entire stronghold was almost surrounded by blue monsters. Counting the one-eyed who had woken up, there were nine ogres looking at them condescendingly. His wrinkled face was full of excitement. At the forefront was a two-headed warrior.
"He's holding a piece of in his hand. Kerr felt that his worldview was being seriously challenged
"Oh my God! Clio followed behind and screamed exaggeratedly, only to wake up the sleeping one-eyed ogre in the cave, and was met with a roll of the eyes.
"That's Pol, who you buried in the. "Ratha stroked his forehead.
"Should I say that this is worthy of the legendary omnivorous ogre, so stinky that they can also be dug up and prepared for spare food. ”
Out of nowhere, Igusi pulled out a rag and covered his nose, and the old man felt that the overwhelming smell was constantly stimulating his aging nerves.
In the hands of the two-headed ogre, there is a slightly humanoid yellow "". Obviously, this is their spare food.
"Is it because you can't eat this stuff on the spot?"
"Shut up, he's still breathing, but we're running out of breath now. ”
Behind him, the one-eyed ogre, with only one eye in the middle of his face, slowly sat up after trying to stand up several times and hitting his head.
- There are ogres in front and ogres in the back
