Session 4: Remembering (Part II)
While Townsend was confused in his search for something, a lean team was cautiously advancing in the darkness to the northeast, five miles from the ruins of Harvey.
Looking in their direction, it is also the smoky town of Harvey.
The leader was a middle-aged man, who was wearing a wide robe and had a very serious face. Seven or eight of his men guarded him, only two of whom were also young men in robes, and the rest were either in leather armor or even two in sheet metal armor - they were both athletic and agile.
"Be careful, we're almost there. After another period of advancement, the middle-aged man ordered: "Spread out, be on guard." ”
The men nodded their heads, forming a clear search formation. The movements of the two robed men were exaggerated, and after a dizzying toss, they actually made three beasts out of thin air as if by magic.
The first thing that appeared was like a worm, which was ** meters long from head to tail, and its upright upper body was more than two people tall, and the mucus dripping from its mouthparts corroded the ground into pits;
The last one was even more peculiar, it was very much like a flat white paper, just floating quietly above the leader, with dozens of tentacles sticking out of the edges, stretching and curling in the air, looking very strange.
"We are the fourth wave, and there is no news after the first three waves go in. The town of Harvey has been destroyed, and the rest of the local population should not be worried. Even if they encounter the elite of the Anomalous Master Guild, they shouldn't even have time to send a signal. Seeing the neat arrangement of his subordinates, the leader nodded slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "It's been two days, and the adults waiting in the back are already angry, so we must get to the bottom of this." Gentlemen, please work hard!"
Before the words fell, the "white paper" above his head suddenly contracted, and the long and short tentacles shook rapidly, and one of them pointed sharply to the side - the two-tall worm rushed forward, its big mouth opened, and the milky white mucus sprayed in the direction pointed by the tentacles!
"Enemy-" The leather-armored man at the top of the position had barely opened his mouth when the whole person had already flown out, disappearing in an instant, as if swallowed by a deep darkness.
"Signal!" the leader commanded, first spilling a puff of powder, then changing positions with his hands - and immediately, the ground around him swelled and bubbled as if it were boiling. In the formation formed around his subordinates, there was a narrow strip of ground that turned into a state of quicksand, and it rotated rapidly clockwise, and at the place of the spin, all the trees and flowers were stirred into powder!
A subordinate wearing stainless steel plate armor hurriedly took out the tube for reporting, but as soon as he lifted the thing, a black rattan stabbed out of the darkness with lightning bolts, and with a "peng" sound, the tip of the rattan passed through his wrist, breastplate, and heart, directly nailing him to the ground!
"Again!" the leader shouted, and the quicksand on the ground flew up, chasing the vine in its retracted direction, and exploded all the way.
The other Plate Armor had barely reached into his arms when his entire head was wrapped in a cluster of dead leaves—a hole in the paper-like floating beast that hung over the entire group's heads, twitching and wailing.
Yes, it's a dead leaf, but there is a dark red fluid surging in the veins of the leaves, which seems to be blood...... In everyone's instantaneous surprise, the body of the wrapped person was trembling violently, but the hand in his arms couldn't be taken out, and the other hand was obviously holding a sword, but he didn't know how to resist as if he was unconscious.
The overlapping dead leaves were sliding down the heads of the plate armor's men, as if they were being carried to the ground by the breeze, silent and leisurely, but after the dead leaves passed, the heads of the plate armor's hands were gone, and only an empty helmet fell to the ground!
The helmet smashed to the ground, and there was a metal impact of "dang", but it was like an order for the enemy's general attack.
The screeching of the air stream came and went, and almost all of the leather armor men had been dragged into the darkness - no one could resist even a moment, and the worm that had been spraying rotten liquid outward was also unlucky, and the enemy in the darkness seemed to be tired of it, and threw a cloud of light blue liquid on it, and then, the worm was corroded on the spot with a huge wound, and then broke in two.
In this short period of time, the dead leaves that fell along the human body in the field had smoothly reached the ground, rolling in the messy plate parts, these dead leaves combined into a round ball the size of two fists, and then bounced on the ground, the blades shook a few times, and spit out a bright thing from the round interior - the knight's badge of the Church of Radiance!
"It's ...... This is...... What?" someone asked in horror: "Dead Leaf Ball?!"
But the robes did not marvel, they whistled, and the mixed beast of mantis and spider rushed forward, and two long sickle-like arms slashed through the air, bringing out two flashing, dark red traces of light—a "whoosh", and the sickle swung over the ball of dead leaves, cutting it open without hindrance, and countless dead leaves scattered in the cold and wet air.
"Kill!" the leader exclaimed excitedly, "Well done!"
The scattered dead leaves did not fall to the ground as he had hoped, and as the mixed beast spun its body, the dead leaves trembled at the same time, and only flashed - the blood was spraying from the sky, and the mixture of the mantis and the spider had been cut into hundreds of pieces, and it rained down!
The leader was petrified on the spot, and he glared like a fool: "Who are you!?Who are you??Are the people of the Psychic Master Guild all shrunken turtles?!Don't insult your title, don't insult the nobility of the ability, get out of here, face me!"
There was silence in the darkness, and no one answered his challenge.
"Who's it!!" The leader raised his hands high, and layers of mud walls rose from the ground around him, slowly rotating around his body: "I'm not afraid of you!"
The mud walls rose and burst into dozens of balls of sand that shot in all directions—rumbling explosions echoed through the darkness, but strangely these sounds did not seem to sound in the wilderness, but more like being in a small space, as countless echoes overlapped and constantly ravaged the chief's ears.
"Space?" the leader muttered to himself, "This is void space?!"
The ball of dead leaves in the field bounced, and stood on the pile of beast meat in a cute manner, and then there was a "cluck" sound, as if burping—and suddenly, there was a sound of soo in the darkness.
