Chapter 461: Shadow of Painted Skin
The old man's words were urgent, his voice was urgent, and everyone's hearts sank suddenly when they heard this shout.
However, before they could make a move, the painted skins that had been repelled by a few shots stood up straight again and rushed towards them.
As they went, the skins of the paintings were flushed with blood red, and their speed increased suddenly, like cheetahs running one after another.
Bang bang bangββ!
Carl, Abel and the others shot at the same time, and the impact of the bullets suddenly caused a group of painted skins to be impacted backwards, hindering their progress for a moment.
Taking advantage of this short period of effort, the old man with a few people hurriedly rushed forward, quickly away from the encirclement of the painters, and rushed towards the exit of the main hall.
"Old man, is the painted skin we imagined?" Third Uncle Dao asked with some consternation, "Is that the painted skin in that god and ghost?" Are there really ghosts in this world? Is there really such a monster? β
"It's all in front of you, you won't see it yourself!"
The old man said angrily: "And there are even ginseng fruit trees here, and it's a fart to paint the skin!" β
"Now run, don't worry so much. This is going to be spread on the body by this thing, so wait for death! β
"Now, they're just recovering, they're slow, or ...... Not a single one of them can run! β
After speaking for a short time, the old man ran faster and faster, rushed to the door in a few steps, and began to open the door. The Karl men in the rear kept changing their magazines and kept repelling the painted skins, but those monsters seemed to be uninjured and would not die.
Let them shoot again and again, and keep pouring bullets, but in the blink of an eye, they pounced again.
Monsters that can be pierced by bullets in this way will put more pressure on them than monsters with thick scale armor that can resist bullets.
As long as such a monster breaks through the defense, as long as it can penetrate, it will die after all.
But the painting skin in front of me ......
"Do these things have to be completely smashed before they die?" Abel fired the gun, and his head was bulging.
Under the shot of his gun, it stands to reason that the other party should have been torn apart, but the painted skin that was pierced out of the holes was still intact and vicious! Even some of the broken holes have been repaired in this short period of time!
"You know so much about the history of China, have you read the ghost stories here?"
The old man said as he opened the door: "In those stories, in most cases, ghosts are not human beings can contend with. β
"Crossbows, guns, clubs...... These things can't really hurt goblins! β
"Our current condition is only to run."
"Hurry up, old man, we can't support it if we go on like this!" Carl fired his gun, his eyes quickly swept around, and a group of them were already surrounded by hundreds of painted skins.
or human skins, or cows and sheep, or apes...... This group of different kinds of painted skins kept advancing, constantly compressing their space, and kept moving forward in the sound of gunshots, and they were already less than thirty meters away!
"Come on, you're waiting...... Be careful! β
Well!?
Karl's eyes froze, and he quickly looked up, his gun pointed upwards.
But at this moment, it was too late.
A painting skin sticking to the top of the wall is falling from above, hitting where they are!
Damn it! It must be stopped!
The thought flashed in his heart, and Karl's left hand jerked from his waist, and a silver horse blossomed from the field in an instant.
Thorn ......
The sound of tearing rang out from the field in an instant, and the black shadow above cracked. It spilled like two rags around. The people around him were relieved to see this, but Karl's face changed suddenly.
When I crossed just now, the power and resistance were not right!
It seems to be ...... It cracked like it itself.
Before he could open his mouth to make everyone vigilant, the shadows that were torn in two parts surged from the hole, and quickly split out of it!
"Get out of the way!"
When the words fell, everyone slammed into a spirit, and when they saw a large black shadow coming from the shop, their bodies subconsciously made movements. Roll on the spot, or take out your weapon to resist and keep the shadows away from them.
However, their response was slow after all.
The black shadows that emerged from the gaps still touched some people.
"Let's go!"
The shouts of the old man of the knife rang out at the same time, and a dull sound came from the front, and the portal that had blocked them before opened.
The power under the feet of several people exploded instantly, and they rushed out in one step.
Before they had run a few steps, everyone suddenly felt a wave of heat, which was completely different from the situation in the palace.
"Quick, run in the direction of the heat, don't stop!" The old man's eyes lit up, and he commanded quickly. The people behind him followed without thinking, and the weapons in their hands kept hitting the appendage, trying to distance themselves as much as possible.
One step, two steps, three steps......
In the midst of the rapid sprint, everyone suddenly felt that the pressure was reduced, and the shadows that were chasing them one by one slowed down!
They were ecstatic in their hearts, and the pace of their feet quickened a little, and they rushed forward quickly.
However, at this moment, Third Uncle Dao's face changed suddenly, and a heart-piercing pain instantly spread from his palm.
He immediately looked down, and his heart was cold, only to see a black shadow the size of a leather ball wrapped around his finger at the place of the palm. Wisps of bright red marks spread upwards from the position of the finger, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the position of the wrist.
And half of his joints also lost sensation at the same time!
Damn it!
A chill and fear mixed with resentment and anger rose in his heart, and at this moment he forgot to deal with it for a while, and the black shadow behind him, which had slowed down, pounced again.
At the moment of life and death, he came back to his senses, but it was too late to dodge at this moment.
Remorse filled his body, and his eyes widened to see how he had died.
At the same time, the sound of breaking the sky sounded, and his waist suddenly tightened, and then a strong force pulled him over, out of the position where the black shadows pounced.
The situation of escaping death made his heart ecstatic, but before this joy could disappear, a cold light flashed, only a cutting sound was heard, and half of his arm fell directly to the ground, and was instantly covered by a black shadow biting his arm.
His body was also pulled back by the force that continued to come from behind.
Bang!
The body slammed into the ground, and a scorching burning sensation behind him stimulated the body of the third uncle of the knife, making him wake up suddenly. Only then did he feel a sharp pain in his arm, and before he could speak, he slapped him in the face.
Syllable!
The loud voice attracted everyone's attention, and the old man of the knife must be angry, looking at the unangry guy in front of him, and said hatefully: "Idiot! What did you just do? β
"I was stunned at such a time! You don't want to die!? β
"If it weren't for the fact that I wasn't old enough to move, and the flying knife was in time, you would have died here!"
Third Uncle Dao endured severe pain, and when he heard this angry reprimand, he secretly felt a little lucky in his heart.
Survived, he survived!
"What are you doing? Do you want to bleed to death? The old man's shout came again, and the third uncle of the knife was excited, and hurriedly took out the bandage from his package and bandaged his broken arm.
His hand speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he completed a series of movements, and his slightly pale face gradually regained its blood color.
There was no more blood left in the area where the severed arm had been bandaged.
When everyone saw this scene, they didn't speak, but their hearts sank.
Immediate results...... This hemostatic effect is too good.
Abel and Carl glanced at each other, and their eyes fell on the smiling old man again, this is ...... Is it a show of power or what?
Miss Li, who was lonely and lonely, bowed her head slightly, her eyes flashed, the old man of the knife was powerful, and it was beneficial to her for the time being. After all, there are still three people on the other side, but what about the future? Her thoughts swirled, and one thought after another floated and annihilated in her heart.
"Alright, we're safe here for now......"
The old man of the knife let out a long breath: "The painted skin is afraid of the fire...... The temperature here is so high, they don't dare to come. β
"Let's just get over here."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look behind him.
The front leads directly to a large hall with an open door, and around the big point, there are bronze people and copper pillars standing next to the main hall, and a raging fire is burning on it. The scorching heat distorted the air a little.
"I just came out of the room of the ice sculpture and came to the place of this flame...... "Abel exclaimed, "Could it be that the ancients have long understood the two heavens of ice and fire?" β
Julie next to her rolled her eyes at him, and Miss Li glanced at him as well.
The third uncle of the knife with the broken arm glanced at him in surprise, and a light flashed in his eyes: Fellow Daoist?
The eyes of the two one-armed people met, and for a while, they actually had a little taste of sympathy.
"Let's go, let's get over now." Karl glanced at the two of them and said, "I'm afraid this flame won't burn forever." I think they're similar to the pillars of fire we came up with. β
"If you wait until the flames disappear and you haven't moved away, I'm afraid you'll be about the same as them."
As he spoke, he reached out and pointed to the side.
There, white bones were lined up and piled up into a hill. And beside the hill, there were a few broken hides scattered. The red and black intertwined lines on it are obviously the painted skin that chased them before.
"Dead paintskin? Is this thing really going to die? β
Abel said in some surprise: "I thought that unless it was burned by flames and burned to ashes, this thing would not die." β
"No, in this kind of place, balance has to be achieved. Otherwise, the entire ecology will be destroyed, and all the arrangements will become even more chaotic. The old man stepped forward, squinted his eyes, and said, "Whether it is a mechanism to restrain them, or a creature, it will definitely exist." β
"This kind of ecology will even be more stable, otherwise it would have been chaotic a long time ago."
"And...... The big battle we saw at the end of the Misty Valley, those monsters, will they really be weaker than the painted skin? β
