Chapter 144: The Dry Rice Man Rushed (2-in-1 Long Chapter)
Under the obscure moonlight, Xue Muyan squinted slightly at the monster in front of her.
It resembles a human in size, with no hair all over its body, a layer of filthy swamp sludge wrapped around its body, and a rag around its waist, a camouflage that makes it almost one with the swamp.
Noticeably speaking, its upper body, in addition to its original arms, has a pair of arms at the human waist. The feet are still feet, and there is no such thing as the 'six all hands' that the Doomsday Warriors used to pass on by word of mouth.
Understandably, though, the four-legged and four-legged wildlings don't sound as terrifying as the six-legged wildlings. What's more, with the advent of the apocalypse, these creatures have mutated even more than a little bit, and for them, everything is possible.
It's hard to see what the creatures were before they mutated, as they differed from humans in more ways than that, as their joints were like those of arthropods, and their legs were equal in length to the upper and lower parts of their hands, a structure that allowed them to crawl faster than they could stand upright like humans.
There is nothing in the place of the eyes on the face, except for a pair of mouths that occupy half of the face.
Do you rely on your voice to tell your way?
Xue Muyan thought secretly.
At this time, only Lin Yetian and Charlotte were left around her.
A sudden monster attack broke up their formation.
It was a group of powerful third-level monsters, and the terrifying creature with butterfly wings and demon fangs at the head was even more vaguely at the level of level four.
Under the invasion of such a group of monster army, the original corps was quickly crushed. Even as they fled frantically, there were still many Doomsday warriors who were devoured by terrifying creatures along the way.
Along the way, the original corps was dispersed into many individual units, and members continued to disappear one after another, and even Meng Ping, Lin Yetian and others were lost.
But even so, unexpectedly, there was a special person in the team.
That's Charlotte.
The six-legged savage in front of him was restrained by Xue Muyan with the rope he got casually and couldn't move. It struggled a few times, and suddenly cracked the corners of its mouth, and the jagged upper and lower rows of fangs in the cavity suddenly and quickly rubbed together, making a sharp grinding sound, as if it was making some kind of threat.
Of course, it could be calling a companion to help or just some meaningless pre-death howl.
Lin Yetian looked coldly at the monster in front of him, and Bai Zhe pointed a rusty pistol in his hand that he didn't know where to point at the monster's head.
Originally, he should have pulled the trigger to deal with this six-legged monster at this time, but after staring at it for a while, Lin Yetian silently put away the pistol.
The holster shielded the whispering sound of the pistol, and the cold feeling on his body could not be dissipated for a while.
Lin Yetian turned around slightly, then the silver light flashed in his hand, and slowly tapped on the shoulder of the six-legged savage in front of him, and gently pushed it. The comfort exerted on it dissipated instantly, and the six-legged savage grinded his teeth and stopped, looked at Lin Yetian's figure for a while, and then turned around and fled quickly towards the way he came.
"Why didn't you shoot?" Charlotte, who was on the side, stared at the figure of the six-legged monster in the distance and said strangely.
"This is their home. Lin Yetian sighed lightly, and looked into the distance with a faint gaze: "And we are the intruders of this land." β
It's nice and natural.
Lin Yetian stood with his hands in his hands, hid the rusty trigger pistol on his hand slightly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he looked light.
It's really grassy, why can't the gun be used at the critical moment?
Charlotte blinked, she didn't quite understand the action, but she didn't speak.
"I said, why didn't Miss Xia take refuge with the people of your Blood City, and come here to join in the fun?" Xue Muyan narrowed her eyes.
"Doesn't it seem safer to have Brother Yetian by his side? After all, Brother Yetian is a man who has killed a fourth-level creature. β
Charlotte covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes like silk: "What...... Sister Xue is ...... Are you jealous?"
"How, how is that possible. Xue Muyan, who was upright, said in a shocking voice, but the flush on her face became more and more obvious. Taking a deep breath, she casually to:
"If you're not afraid that Adolf of the Blood City will accuse you of leaving the party without permission, you can continue to follow us. β
"Adolf of Blood City?" Charlotte sneered, the corners of her mouth twitching, as if she wanted to say something but never spoke.
As soon as the conversation changed, she smiled softly, meaning something:
"Let's not talk about what the esteemed city lord is doing at the moment, even the blood city he depends on for survival...... Fear...... Something bad is happening, right...... Hehe, who knows?"
Xue Muyan narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with a light smile:
"Miss Xia doesn't seem to have a very good relationship with the City Lord of Blood City. β
"Perhaps. Charlotte smiled. "Whether it is good or evil, there will be a reward. β
Without further probing, Xue Muyan turned her head slightly, looked in the direction of Blood City, and thought about it.
Xue Muyan turned around, ready to resume her advance. Suddenly, there was a dull sound of falling water behind him.
"Gala galaβ"
The faint sound of grinding teeth sounded from behind the roots of the tree, clearer and more rapid than before. A sense of anxiety can be heard in the grinding teeth.
"Go over and see. β
Lin Yetian proposed.
Xue Muyan nodded slightly, and then after retreating to the root of the tree with Lin Yetian, Charlotte followed behind them silently.
On the surface, Xue Muyan, who was not a little defensive against Charlotte, was completely behind her, but in fact, the senses in her mind had already lifted the spirit of twelve, and once there was a murderous fluctuation behind her, the sharp blade in her hand would cut Charlotte's throat without hesitation.
Fortunately, Charlotte didn't mean to take the opportunity to sneak attack, at least not yet.
They saw that in the blister that Lin Yetian had bypassed earlier, the six-legged savage was deeply trapped in it, and the six arthropods stirred the viscous mire to prevent themselves from sinking completely.
A loud grinding sound came from its mouth, which took up half of its face.
"These guys...... Did you fall into the stinky ditch on the ground?" Lin Yetian scratched his head and wondered. "Or do you just run around playing in the mud?"
"Your monster is playing in the mud and running here to play......" Xue Muyan complained softly.
Sensing the sound, the six-legged savage struggling in the blisters turned its face. There was nothing on that face except a mouth, but it made Lin Yetian and Xue Muyan feel its pain at the moment.
"Maybe you wanted to stay away from us and didn't pay attention. β
In any case, this scene reduced the mystery and danger of the six-legged savage in an instant. At least Lin Yetian was already trying to figure out how to pigtail the monster.
"It looks like a weak chicken, it's not dangerous, it's only one level, right?"
"It's second-degree, don't take it lightly. Moreover, this kind of second-level creature generally lives in groups under its own mouth, and it is very likely that there will be their accomplices and the like nearby. β
"Oh, remember that it's everyone's responsibility to protect animals. β
"Hmm...... Huh?"
The six-legged wildling's struggle began to slow down, and after the four arthropods were completely sunk into the mire, it had lost the strength to struggle, and sank even faster, leaving only above its chest and two arms waving in vain.
A strong wind swayed over its head and stopped in front of its face.
Sensing the life-saving straw, the six-legged savage stretched out his two remaining arms, grabbed the branch with his sharp palm, and dragged his body outward.
Lin Yetian took half a step back with his right foot, his center of gravity was backwards, and he stepped back step by step to pull the six-legged savage out of the blister.
There is no thank-you, and there is no act like thank-you. The six-legged savage was like a beast that was extremely wary of humans, and the moment it was pulled out, it dragged its tired body to one side, and fled away into the depths of the jungle.
Lin Yetian waved his hand silently, and said goodbye to the monster as if he was very familiar:
"See you next time!"
Charlotte was a little surprised, muttered and looked at the distant figure and said again:
"Why did you save it again?"
"Didn't I say that everyone has a responsibility to protect animals. β
β ...... It doesn't look like some critter, does it?!"
"Xiaoyan doesn't look like a normal girl......" Lin Yetian shook slightly, causing Xue Muyan's eyes to stare at her.
"More like my sweetheart. β
Lin Yetian hurriedly added
Ahh
Charlotte blinked, trying to say something several times but never got out of the way.
Not long after she and Lin Yetian started to get along, she saw the man in front of her for the first time.
And...... Kindness that is hard to hide.
Xue Muyan blushed slightly, pretended to be calm, pretended that nothing had happened and slowly continued to move forward.
"Yetian, let's go, if you stay any longer, there is a good chance that the companions of those monsters will appear. β
A calm voice came from the front with an imperceptible shyness.
"Oh. I'd like to go down and play in the mud. β
Lin Yetian quickly followed.
Charlotte looked at the back of the drifting away with a complicated expression, and also hurriedly followed.
Stepping through a thirty or forty centimeter-long ravine under his feet, Lin Yetian stepped on a large area of relatively intact ground. It was darker than it had just been, and it seemed like it was getting dark.
The darkness before the Blood Moon was extraordinarily long. On a night without light, there is hardly any hope of life.
Lin Yetian raised his head slightly, his gaze passed through the dry branches that covered the sky, the dim sky was not only because the twisted dead trees around him were becoming crowded, but the branches above his head became dense, and the dark rain clouds from the east were about to reach the sky above the swamp.
"It's going to change. Lin Yetian said casually.
The wind was blowing, and the branches of the trees on the upper floor were swaying with the wind, but only a faint air flow could be felt on the ground. Retracting his gaze, Lin Yetian picked up the wooden branch as a cane, and slowly moved forward tentatively.
On the muddy road, except for the footprints of Lin Yetian and others, there were no other traces of human beings.
It was as if all the previous Doomsday Warriors had gone to another world after being impacted, and there was no more sound.
Gradually, some light winds began to emerge on the ground, blowing the tips of Lin Yetian's hair, and the larger wind blew the branches, and the whining sound echoed over the swampy jungle.
Charlotte couldn't help but raise her head and pressed it very low,
The unsightly clouds of terror were extremely close to the swamp. Dense surrounds of razers surged through the clouds, but no thunder came.
In contrast to it, the other half of the sky was as gloomy as a sunny day.
Lin Yetian quickened his pace, and some of the shallower water and mud no longer bypassed, but slowly stepped behind Xue Muyan, leaving a line of deep shoe prints, which were filled with sewage and covered up in an instant.
If it weren't for the fact that Xue Muyan might be angry, Lin Yetian would really choose to build a castle made of sand and mud in this place to play.
It's like a galaxy palace that rose in the spirit world 100,000 years ago.
He always had a special dedication to architecture.
Leather booties under the feet have some waterproof function, but they cannot be used completely as rain boots. After all, the most important function of this kind of combat boot is to block the foot from the attack of monsters, and the waterproof effect will naturally be weaker.
This kind of unscrupulous treading of water rushes, the mud is blocked from the shoes, but the water stains have already soaked into the shoes, bringing a biting coolness.
The rising wind stirs the dusty and rotting leaves, echoing the whistling sound in the sky.
Lin Yetian passed by a reflection of the sky, and the relatively clear water was rippling, mixed with a ripple of raindrops.
The first drop of rain fell.
Lin Yetian's footsteps suddenly stopped, his white robe danced, and his gaze was solemn when he pointed to the reflection reflected by the lake light.
"How...... Is there anything in the lake?"
Xue Muyan's eyes narrowed slightly. The blood-colored lake she encountered for the first time made her a little wary this time.
"No, I mean......" Lin Yetian pointed to the reflection on the surface of the lake and said straightly:
"That's how big your head is!"
Xue Muyan was silent.
Dark purple clouds had covered most of the sky, leaving only a small stretch of the sky to breathe. The swamp began to become dark and gloomy.
Lin Yetian, who was not far away, lit an oil lamp with a match at the same time, and a warm and faint yellow light lit up, illuminating a small area around him.
Lights are inevitable, even if they themselves may attract something unfriendly.
"Are we going to keep going!" Charlotte shouted as she felt a halo of light envelop her.
The wind is everywhere, and there is no point in being quiet, or you have to be loud to communicate.
"You put it aside by yourself, in this stinking and rotten day," Lin Yetian said casually in a lazy voice:
"It's time for me and Xiaoyan Pig to go to dinner!
"We can go to that abandoned village!" Charlotte shouted as she stared into the dark eyes under Lin Yetian's hood. Although he did not have a hood.
"If you don't say it earlier, Xiaoyan will be wandering around for a long time. β
Lin Yetian looked to the left, the shadows of the trees where they were at this time had been hidden in the shadows, and they had gone deeper into the swamp than the abandoned village, but not too far, if they turned closer now, perhaps
Abandoned villages can be approached before a storm arrives.
Xue Muyan's expression was slightly embarrassed, because Lin Yetian really didn't say it this time. In the absence of any map, she really had to try her luck.
Luckily, there's a lucky guy on the team.
The light rain in the sky gradually changed from scarce to dense, and the bean-sized rain poured out little by little like the blood droplets of monsters, and then the dense raindrops became larger again. The sound of the rattling instantly drowned out the conversation of several people.
No one expected the rainstorm to come so suddenly and unexpectedly.
Lin Yetian uses a large bulb from nowhere to illuminate is a bright choice. As the last light on the horizon disappeared, the darkness under the oppressive clouds pressed a dark swamp. The lightning that appeared in the clouds brought a flash of light, revealing the outline of the swamp, and then lurking in the darkness again.
The water level in the swamp gradually rose.
If you don't count the fact that these potholed wetlands have a considerable degree of water storage, the rising water can almost flood Lin Yetian's ankles.
"Xiaoyan Xiaoyan, you said that it is common sense for people to want to drink water when they are thirsty?" Lin Yetian suddenly became elated.
Although she was a little confused, Xue Muyan, who was faintly uneasy, still nodded: "Are you thirst.........y? Hey, don't suddenly open your mouth and drink the rain!"
Lin Yetian hurriedly closed his mouth, quickly lowered his raised head, blinked Bakazlan's big eyes and said innocently: "But...... But didn't you let me?"
"Make you big!" Xue Muyan said fiercely. "There's plenty of clean drinking water in your backpack, and that's what I asked you to drink!
"It's really grassy, don't say it sooner. Lin Yetian muttered. "But when I was a child, I was a ...... in the Celestial Realm Oh, I didn't have a kid. β
Xia Luo looked at Lin Yetian in front of him with a smile, and along the way, the man in front of him would always make many strange moves.
At first, she thought that these actions were a kind of defense, in order to confuse herself so that she could pass on some information to Xue Muyan.
But now it seems that she was wrong, this man is so strange.
"I'm usually so stupid, so I can be free and have no worries. Lin Paida Tian smiled faintly, like a great philosopher.
Charlotte blinked in annoyance and didn't speak.
Shemuth was looking for a dead tree that was thick enough and a hollow to hide.
Some strange light flew like fireflies, but these points of light attracted by the light of the large light bulb seemed to just float up and down around the oil lamp, and ignored them.
Suddenly, the rain stopped falling, the wind stopped, and the swamp, which had been a little noisy a few seconds ago, suddenly became dull and dead.
The points of light floating around the oil lamps seemed to sense the calm before the storm, and gradually drifted away, disappearing into the trees.
Lin Yetian also realized something, stopped bragging nonsense, and ran without looking back. I don't know how many times, but when the raindrops began to fall, Charlotte suddenly pointed forward and exclaimed
"There's light ahead!"
"Wuhu!
Lin Yetian shouted loudly like the Church of Light.
The twisted dead trees parted on either side, and in the middle of a clearing, a small log cabin with bright windows stood alone in the swamp clearing.
An inhabited wooden house appeared in the swamp, and both Xue Muyan and Charlotte noticed the abnormality, but they all remained silent.
"Little rabbit, open the door~" Lin Yetian, whose painting style is different from others, sent a voice.
The raindrops crackled and fell, obscuring the vision, and the ears were not only the noise of the raindrops falling, but also the weird and lame singing in the big grin.
Lin Yetian, this guy......
Pentatonic incompleteness.
