Chapter 168: Horror in the Woods
One step of hell, one step of heaven, maybe it is the scene in front of them! When they crossed the ridge and escaped the scorching heat, the scenery in front of them completely subverted Liang Ke's cognition. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
From where he stood, down the gentle slope, the warm earth exuded an intoxicating fragrance, and at the foot of the mountain not far away, as if drawn by a god, a long green line slowly opened into the distance until the end of the sight.
Liang Ke was confident that the experience of the two lives could not be said to be uninformed, but he was sure that he had never seen such a vast forest, the towering trees were enough to obscure anyone's vision, and the chirping of birds and beasts in the forest could be clearly heard miles away. Atwood was a little confused, he cast an inquiring glance at Liang Ke, Liang Ke showed a wry smile, then shook his head, sat on Sanduo's back and slowly paced over.
Standing on the hillside, he could already see the enormity of these trees, but when he was actually in them, he felt what this enormity meant.
Liang Ke looked up, the closest leaf to him was also fifty meters away, the huge trunk was straight and thick, and the green moss covered every inch of space, making it impossible to see the texture and color of the book cover. The lush canopy seemed to have no edges, and the smallest leaves were larger than Atwood's body.
The grass around him almost covered the T-shaped black hair on Sanduo's chest, and the sharp blades in Liang Ke's hands kept swinging, so that those blades of grass that were as sharp as knives would not cut through his body.
Liang Ke and Atwood didn't go far in the forest before they found a clearing and stopped, because the sandstone beast that led the way disappeared after entering the forest, so unfortunately, the expedition team got lost.
Liang Ke fetched a bucket of water from the stream beside him, first put it to his nose and smelled it, and then waited for the water to pass through the double filtration of fine sand and carbon, and then he drank it with confidence. He drank enough water, put away the kettle, reached out and lifted up Atwood, who was lying by the stream to drink, and asked angrily: "I also said that I am a big Drew, I can't control a pangolin, and I brought Lao Tzu to such a place where there is no animal hair, if you can't find a way out, I will give you to Sanduo as a snack." Hmph!"
The aggrieved Da Drew was slammed to the ground by Liang Ke, gritting his teeth in pain and inhaling the cold air, but for the sake of Shenjing, he could only swallow his anger.
"It's strange here, not only did the sandstone beast escape, but before we entered the forest, we heard birds chirping and beast cries, but now we can't see a single worm, it seems that they have all burrowed into the earth, there must be something wrong with this. ”
"Do you still need to say that? Neuropathy also knows that there is a problem. Liang Ke glared at him angrily, but Atwood's words also reminded him, Liang Ke patted Sanduo's nose, then leaned down and began to carefully examine the ground, Sanduo also lay on the ground and sniffed here and there, and began to look for clues to get out of trouble.
Obviously, no one has ever been here, the soft rotten leaves are a foot thick, and when the rotten leaves are removed, clusters of colorful mushrooms and mosses are exposed, and the fungi that should be close to the ground also grow high here, Liang Ke's little biological common sense cannot be used in this world, he resisted the urge to pick it with his hands, and used the blade to remove the rotten leaves little by little, searching this area.
Just when he was engrossed in staring at a plant as thin as a bamboo shoot in front of him, Sanduo's angry howl suddenly sounded behind him, Liang Ke looked back sharply, and saw a six-legged monster with a slender triangular head, a skinny body, and a long tail dragging a long tail came out of the dirt, jumped onto Sanduo's back, opened its sharp mouth like a bird's beak, and bit Sanduo's ear fiercely. Fortunately, Sanduo sniffed its breath in advance, and with preparation, his body swayed violently, and the monster had an unstable foothold on him, and the long beak only bit a tuft of mane, and then was struck by a lightning bolt from Sanduo's new companion and fell heavily to the ground. The monster didn't seem to be hurt too much, it rolled the moment it hit the ground, and then its sharp front paws tore through the ground, and in the midst of splashes of dirt and grass clippings, it burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
All this happened between lightning and fire, Liang Ke just blinked his eyes, and a sudden change occurred behind him. The bamboo shoot-like plant that had been growing on the ground suddenly rose from the dirt and pierced the back of Liang Ke's head with great speed, and Atwood, who had just dived into the stream to avoid the attack, saw this scene, and couldn't hide himself, and let out a sharp roar in his sharp throat.
"Watch your back!"
Liang Ke heard the warning, and instinctively swung the knife back and slashed diagonally, but the thing was too fast, Liang Ke slashed into the air with a knife, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid in his heart. But the enemy's blow has been planned for a long time, whether it is the opportunity, the angle, or the strength is perfect, how can he dodge it. Liang Ke only felt a concentrated pain coming from the back of his head, and at this moment, the only thing he could do was to pray to the gods from all walks of life to let him cross again.
Liang Ke closed his eyes and waited for two breaths, but there was still no out-of-body tearing sensation of the last death, he quickly opened his eyes to check, but saw that the monster that attacked him with a pointed tail was being pressed to the ground by the storm queen Kardashian in a white gauze dress with a huge tentacle, he calmed down, swung a sharp blade to cut the monster in two, reached out to wipe the blood on the back of his head, cursed "Despicable sneak attacker!" and then swung his knife at the monster that kept jumping out of the dirt.
The unprepared adventure team quickly regained their composure, and with the addition of the Storm Queen, the originally panicked situation changed in an instant. Liang Ke, who had lost face in front of the woman, turned into a humanoid demonic beast, and his heavy giant blade turned into a hurricane, sweeping across the entire battlefield, easily tearing the enemy to pieces.
The battle soon came to an end, when Liang Ke kicked over the dead monster and drew his long knife from the corpse, and the last monster that was about to escape into the dirt was also entangled in the tentacles of the Storm Queen and brought it to him.
Liang Ke sat on a piece of dead wood, panting while wiping the blade of the knife, without raising his eyes, and said angrily: "Can you think of a way to ask about the situation?"
"No problem!"
The Storm Queen's massive tentacles turned into cones and stabbed into the monster's mind, and the monster squeaked twice, and its six scythe-like legs swung violently for a while, and then it fell silent, apparently losing its last chance of life.
"These monsters are demon slaves of the demon race. ”
"Demons?"
"That's right, they are indeed the professional sneak attackers of the Demon Race, also called 'Tuyuan Demon'. ”
Kardashian showed rare patience and gave him the basics.
"Although the Earth Yuan Demon is a demon race, they are more like a kind of demonic beast, they are a bit like the relationship between orcs and demonic beasts, although these monsters have no language ability, their combat power is extremely strong. The Earth Demon has two more powerful skills......"
"Tu Dun and disguise!" Liang Ke was embarrassed by the sneak attack, and let his demon pet save him twice, and his face was a little unbearable, so he preemptively said the answer first, so as to earn back some dignity.
"Almost!" the Storm Queen couldn't comprehend such a complicated emotion, she blinked her eyes and continued, "These demon slaves can also fight on their own, but they are definitely not able to make such a tight cooperation, so they should just be tools to be used. ”
Liang Ke nodded and did not make a sound. He himself is an expert in skirmishes, and naturally can see that the enemy's arrangement is definitely not an accidental attack. The instigators of these monsters can even predict where they will enter the forest, where they will get lost, and where they will finally rest, such an elaborate design is unimaginable for Liang Ke, but thankfully, he finally found the source of that dangerous feeling from behind him.
Atwood shook off the drops of water on his body and asked uneasily, "Since the demons don't want to trade with us, why don't they kill us in the demon capital?"
"Not everyone wants us to die, after all, in the hearts of ordinary demons, I am still their hope. ”
"That's?"
"Demon Emperor!" Liang Ke inserted the wiped giant blade back into the scabbard on Sanduo's back, and squatted by the stream to wash the blood from his hands. Then he slowly explained to Atwood: "The Demon Emperor was going to kill us at the beginning, but he was forced by the pressure of those nobles to let us go, but the imperial power is supreme, and what should come is still coming." ”
The timid Atwood subconsciously looked back behind him, then leaned closer to Liang Ke and asked in fear, "Then what should we do?"
"I'll do what I have to do, I'll wait for them to come, I'm afraid these ground rats who can only hide won't have the guts. ”
The last sentence he shouted out, he knew that now at least a pair of eyes were staring at him, the sneak attack had failed, and the next open guns and dark arrows would definitely continue, if he could provoke this opponent and let him quickly put his strength into a decisive battle, this would be the best situation for Liang Ke.
In the distance, two eyes passed through the layers of tree canopies, and fell on Liang Ke's fading back, Mark Mo clenched his fists, and the skin on his body returned from dark green to dark gray, he touched the hilt of the sword that was stuck upside down under his armpit, and said fiercely: "General, with our strength, what else do we need to let the demon slave test? Let his subordinates lead people to chase after him and stab that arrogant guy into a honeycomb." ”
Beside him, another green Mark Mo shook his head slightly, then gently patted the young subordinate's shoulder, and whispered, "I will give you such a chance, but not now." Anger can make us fail, and I don't want you to lose your lives here. ”
"However, if we go deeper, we will be detected by those terrible enemies, and then we will not have a chance to do anything. ”
The general shook his head again and said, "No." He looked around, then continued: "We've been here many times, and we know where they're going to get into the forest, and we know they're going to get lost here, so that's why we chose this place for the ambush. However, the attack that should have taken place when entering the forest did not appear, and even all the demonic beasts disappeared. I judged that it should be the owner here who created the conditions for our hunt. ”
"Why did they do that?" asked Mark Mo, puzzled.
"How do I know? Maybe I just want to watch a good show! After all, killing prey with your own hands will get blood on your hands. ”
After speaking, the general stretched out his long, powerful arms, and his sharp nails clenched the trunk of the tree, and like an agile clouded leopard, he scurried down from the tree with his head and feet, and fell silently to the ground. The leaves moved slightly, and dozens of Mark Demons jumped to the ground behind him, following the general and chasing in the direction where Liang Ke had disappeared.
Just when the demons had just left, under the big tree they were hiding, a piece of dark brown old bark moved, and then turned into an emerald green figure, quickly chasing after the demons. However, what they didn't know was that the tall giant tree had opened a pair of dim eyes and was smiling in the direction they had left.
