Chapter Twenty-Three: Shock
Russell was startled and wanted to wake everyone up, but was patted by someone, and Russell looked back, and it turned out to be Carter lying behind him, staring at him with slightly shiny eyes.
Carter made a gesture to silence him, and then whispered to Russell: "If you shout now, it will alarm the things outside the door, so be careful, anyway, everyone is sleeping nearby, try to use gestures to spread the word, let them wear armor and take weapons to prepare for battle!"
Russell suddenly realized, quietly touched Bauer who was sleeping next door, Bauer woke up sleepy and wanted to ask, Luo Yan pointed out the direction outside the window, Bauer understood, glanced at the window, and understood that after coming over, he passed the news to the soldiers sleeping next door according to Russell's method.
After a long while, the group woke up, and the monster outside seemed to realize that something was wrong, and let out a burst of owl-like cries and began to bang on the door of the hotel. There was an overwhelmed sound from the old hotel door, and the deadbolt of the doorway began to crack. Russell found that it had been exposed, so he simply asked everyone to arm themselves as soon as possible, and the gate in front of him didn't look like it would last long.
Just in time, the gate was finally slammed open by the monsters, and several burly, dark-hued humanoids crawled in on all fours. Carter glared and said in horror, "What is this? I've never seen an animal like this!"
Carter's eyes reflected the figures of monsters, they had the head of an owl, but instead of a bird's beak in their mouth, they had a row of wolf-like fangs, a few coveted mouths, and they were pitch black with no long hair, and their limbs had thick claws, which were not easy to mess with.
Russell counted the number of monsters, it seemed that there were only about five, although it didn't look easy to mess with, but his own number was superior, and the weapons were excellent, so he should be able to fight.
After a long confrontation, the monster could not restrain its desire for bloodthirst, and crashed into the shield of a shield-wielding soldier with a strange scream. The soldier flew out upside down in response, bumped into his teammates behind him, and exclaimed in pain: "Why is this monster so powerful!" The monster did not give the soldiers a chance to rest, and immediately attacked it in groups, and the spearmen in the team were skillful, and stabbed the monsters fiercely with the spears in their hands, forcing them back.
The pain of the injuries did not make the monsters feel unkind, but only aroused their brutal nature, and they wandered like predators, looking for an opportunity to attack. Russell took advantage of the monsters' hesitation to let the archers in the team aim at the monsters, and with a command, most of the well-forged arrows hit the monsters, and the blow seemed to deter them, and they gradually retreated outside the hotel.
It was a good time to escape, and the people hurriedly withdrew from the hotel, took up their horses and baggage, and prepared to leave this strange village. When they reached the entrance of the village, suddenly a monster of a few points larger jumped from the nearby roof, blocking the team's retreat. Luo Yan looked at the monster and noticed the wooden stick it was holding in its hand, wasn't this the crutch in the hand of the old woman who had just entered the village?
This monster still seems to be sane, still standing, still talking vague words in his mouth, Russell swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the monster in front of him is not easy to do.
Cuckoo shouted, "Russell, go on!" and threw a round thing at his position, Russell took it and saw that it was the 'Heavenly Punishment' used in the defense of the city, and it was estimated that Cuckoo also saw that the situation was critical, and gave him her baby bump, so as to help him.
Russell gritted his teeth, and just wanted to take out the flint and steel and let the monster eat him with a 'heavenly punishment', but he heard someone behind the team shouting in horror: "There are monsters, there are monsters, monsters are back!" Russell looked back and was shocked to find that at some point, those monsters surrounded the team.
