Act XXVII: The Plague II
It doesn't get more chilling than that, the monster is right in front of you...
"It..."
before he spit out a word.
Like a fierce beast in the mountains, the swollen giant palm waved out the wind sound, and slammed on the chest of a sentry, and with a bang, the chest under the light armor immediately sunken, and the whole person flew out upside down, hitting the trunk of a nearby tree, and the long sword rolled down, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
The headless body slowly stood up, its figure resembling a standing bear, the shadow of the only remaining sentry.
At the moment he couldn't move.
Cold sweat slid down the tip of his nose, down his beard and down his chin, and then was shaken off with a shudder.
"O all-powerful god..."
He snorted, not so much a prayer as a painful lament.
In an instant, he pulled out the long sword he carried with him, and the shiny blade pierced into the bulging belly of the corpse, and the process of tearing the fat layer was very smooth, but the sword body was all submerged in it, and the other party did not have any reaction.
Poof, the Sentinel noticed some pale green bubbles coming out of the wound, accompanied by dark green smoke.
Zizi, zizi.
It was only a sign, a large cloud of green mist erupted, and the powerful impact pushed him out with half of his long sword, a rich green enveloped his vision, and a suffocating stench spread at an unimaginable speed, and the green grass around him withered and died at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ahhh
The green smoke twisted into the form of a demon and passed through the sentinel's body, his face rapidly aging and shriveling, before falling limply to the ground.
Elsewhere, another sentry, who was bleeding quietly and no longer moving, was touched by the green mist, and the same thing happened.
Then, in less than 10 seconds, gray black gas flowed out of the corpse monster's body, burrowing into the corpses of the two sentinels like small worms, and their corpses also swelled strangely, large balls of flesh and blood exploded along with the clothes, and as the mutation stabilized, green mist began to seep out of all parts of the body.
In less than half a minute, a thick green mist shrouded this small area, and there was a tendency to spread outward.
This incident also caught the attention of the other sentinels, who of course were the first to notice the fire signal at the end of the small roof, and then hurried here.
"No, it's scary... Go get some oil and wine! The sooner the better! "I'll go to church to notice!" "Oh my God, what's that."
The green mist has a very terrible erosive ability, from a distance, the size of the forest shrinks at an extremely rapid rate, and the nearest few large trees from these sentinels, from the moment their torsos are touched by the mist, they melt into a gray-black liquid, branches, leaves, shoots, torsos, as if it were made of snow, and quickly melt when it meets the sun.
In the green poisonous mist, you can also see three huge figures walking back and forth, the size is comparable to a giant bear, and it seems to be a bit humanoid.
In a short time, the arrows and the oil, as well as some wine, were ready.
"Light the rest of the trees, and shoot down the brazier on the second high slope."
The speed at which the green mist spread seemed to have something to do with the location of the three giant figures, and although it was spreading very quickly, it would take some time to break out of the forest and spread beyond the boar trail.
The idea of these sentinels is very simple, set this forest on fire and let the flames burn the green mist and the weird monsters inside to ashes.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”
They stared nervously at the three figures in the green mist, making sure they weren't rushing this way.
Whether it's monsters and dark wizards who walk in the night, or something inexplicably weird that is only recorded in the occult, the fire is effective against them. This point has been mentioned to all the soldiers of the Sawyer Alliance by the Cathedral of Light, that the flame is sacred and has the power to purify evil.
A cloud of flame rose from the arrow, bringing light to the somewhat gloomy place.
"Splash the oil and the wine."
Their target is the dense forest of the left outer ring, which has not yet been eroded, after all, it is impossible to set the entire forest on fire at the same time.
Soon, the rising yellow flames built an impenetrable high wall, blocking the momentum of the green mist, and the contact between the two emitted an anxious sound, accompanied by a wail, which made the sentinels who were constantly bending their bows and arrows not far away a little frightened.
The fire grew and spread deeper.
Oh!!!
An angry roar came from within, and the sentinels were in a state of disbelief, subconsciously reaching for their weapons.
In a few moments, the scorched black shadow filled with flames swept away the ashes, and there were sentry-style scraps hanging from their bodies, making their faces change again and again.
"Could this monster be—" "Spread out!" It's coming! "Be careful!"
The soldiers on the high slope knew each other, and they didn't have to guess what had happened to the two guys, which made the remaining sentries even more afraid of the monster that roared wildly in front of them.
"Giles, Giles!"
A low, powerful cry rang out on the other side of the monster, a burly sentry who carefully carried his sword, Giles was the monster's name.
Unexpectedly, this move succeeded in attracting the monster's attention, and its frenzied stance narrowed slightly, and its white, swollen eyes turned to the burly sentry, who involuntarily swallowed his saliva while glancing at his companion.
Flame-blazing arrows slammed into the bowstring, and two other sentries leaned down and stretched out their swords to meet the monster's side.
Suddenly, the monster turned its head and spewed out cloudy yellow vomit, drenching the two sentries who rushed at him.
A scream of pain had just been heard, and in the terrified eyes of the remnant sentinels, a large green bubble bulged on the left side of the monster's face, and a violent roar erupted.
Mixed with anger, sorrow, twisting.
"Get out of the way! Hurry up and get out of the way! ”
Rumble!!!
The flesh and blood exploded, and the thick green water sprinkled and fell all over the sky, and the green mist expanded at an unimaginable speed, covering the burning flames on his body in an instant.
"Ahem, ahem." "But...""Ahem, ahem."
Two men fled in a panic, but were soon overtaken by the green mist, leaving only a series of coughing echoes.
Death is so close at this moment that I feel it all too well.
Several sentinels widened their eyes in pain, and a monstrous black shadow in the thick green mist crushed the head of one of their companions, and the voice was crisp and cruel.
However.
Teng Teng, Teng Teng.
A slight sound approached at a rapid speed, accompanied by a gust of gale and a strange scent similar to that of autumn moon flowers.
"It's sad."
Some hoarse female voices, with pity and compassion, shook these confused sentinels, and a figure loomed in front of them, confronting the monster in front of them.
Looking at the back is a woman, tall and with shoulder-length hair.
She held a short dagger in each hand, and the decoration was not armor, which was rare and strange.
