Chapter 19: Terror
It's been two months since that mutation, and in the past two months, the remote and deserted Mushroom Ridge has been bustling, with people coming and going in and out of Mushroom Ridge every day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Among these endless crowds, most of them are adventurers in groups, and the strongest is the seventh-level warrior level, because the awakened vindictive, or the mysterious wizard has already figured out the reason behind this time, which is the fierce battle between the white-flowered knight "Thunder Beast" of the Dark Judgment and the second-level wizard Kabik.
Only these adventurers who have not yet stepped into the transcendent realm will foolishly think that there are demonic monsters in it, and they come here with heroic dreams of slaying monsters and demons, or that the lightning and thunder are born of treasure and come to hunt for treasure and make a fortune.
There are also more practical ones, that is, bounty hunters who come to hunt evil wizards with Thor's wanted warrant in exchange for the double bounty of Viscount Mex and the Dark Judgment.
However, the excitement of Mushroom Ridge has also come to an end, and the heroes who have made a name for themselves have not found the demon, but they are tossed half-dead by the poisonous snake poison in Mushroom Ridge, and they roll back to their manor in disgrace;
The adventurers for the treasure did not find a single gold coin, but strayed into the snake cave and fed a few pythons, and the bounty hunters with wanted warrants did not find the shadow of the evil wizard, and finally thought that the wizard had been scared away.
In short, after two months of hustle and bustle, I finally found that Mushroom Ridge was still the barren Mushroom Ridge, and there was nothing left except poisonous mushrooms and snakes.
But there are also people who accidentally find a little clue, and they are lucky to think that they have found the right place for the treasure, so they persistently stay and continue to grope in the dangerous mushroom ridge.
For example, Marlon and his party, who were born and raised near Mushroom Ridge.
"Brother Marlon, is there really a treasure here?" said a freckled young man.
The young man, dressed in simple leather armor and holding a longbow with horns, asked with a bitter face the young man who was the leader of this adventure team not far ahead.
The captain of the adventure team is called Marlon, a sturdy two-handed swordsman, Maron is a civilian, but at the age of twenty-two, he has already reached the peak of the seventh-level warrior, and it is likely that he will break through the seventh-level boundary at the age of thirty, awaken his fighting spirit, and become a noble knight.
Therefore, Malone is very famous in the hometown of this adventure team, and this time he formed a team to hunt for treasures, and he was also elected as the captain by everyone.
At this time, in the face of the freckled boy's complaint, Marlon confidently said loudly: "Bangot, there is a treasure around here! Otherwise, as soon as we get close to here, it seems that the snakes of the entire Mushroom Ridge have emerged, and they must be in the Guardian Treasure." ”
Marlon was not only responding to the freckled boy Bangot, but also explaining to the others, after all, they had been wandering around the Mushroom Ridge for more than a month, and they hadn't found any trace of treasure, if it weren't for Marlon's firmness, everyone would have left with the other adventurers.
In fact, Malone is not all for treasures, his real purpose is to use this experience to break through the peak of warriors and awaken the fighting spirit.
While everyone was talking, a huge python suddenly jumped out from behind the giant mushroom on the side, opened its bloody mouth, and bit the leader Marlon.
In the face of the sneak attack of the giant python, Malone did not change his face, waved his two-handed long sword casually, and then turned around, a roundabout slash, and simply cut the python in front of him to the ground, without a trace of hesitation and mistakes, that is because he has been doing this set of actions for half a month.
Half a month ago, Marlon and the others inadvertently walked nearby, and immediately began to be continuously attacked and obstructed by an endless stream of pythons and poisonous snakes.
After the initial hard fighting, Marlon immediately claimed to the crowd that there was a treasure nearby, and that the snakes were there to protect it.
However, Marlon has been shouting for half a month, and everyone's passion has been consumed, so Bangot couldn't help but mutter: "The reason why there are so many snakes may be that we broke into the snake nest..."
Malone didn't hear Bangot's complaints, and concentrated on swinging the great sword in his hand, fending off more and more snakes.
At this moment, a thin young man slid down from a giant mushroom in front of him, and the young man couldn't tell whether he was frightened or excited, and shouted at everyone with a complicated expression: "Everyone, I see a swamp in front of me, and there seems to be a terrifying beast corpse in the swamp. ”
"That must be where the treasure is!" Marlon's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Everyone, we have found the treasure, we have made a fortune!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered, swept away the previous decadent color, roared again and again, and used all kinds of tricks without money, and after half an hour, they broke through the obstruction of the snakes and arrived in front of the green and secluded swamp.
However, as soon as they reached the edge of the swamp, the crowd began to shout.
"Oh my God"
"What kind of monster is this, is it an ancient beast?"
Some people immediately thought of the vision in the Mushroom Ridge two months ago, and shouted, "I'm afraid this is the monster that appeared in the Thunder Grid two months ago!"
"How is it possible! Such a terrifying monster, who can kill it, is it really Thor?"
I saw a terrible monster more than ten meters long floating on a messy swamp, half of its body was immersed in the green and secluded swamp, and half of its body was dragging the edge of the swamp, the monster's neck was covered with black scales, like a python, but its back was covered with scale armor like fish fins, with four thick and strong feet, and a two-meter-long barbed tail.
This is a monster corpse, but the charred black body, the hideous bloody mouth is not its fatal cause of death, the giant beast died of decapitation, this is a two-headed beast, but both heads were cut off, and there is no head near the corpse, I am afraid that it was taken away by the person who killed it.
"Where's the treasure, where is the treasure, is it under this swamp?"
Bangot was bent on the treasure, and after a short shock, he began to look for the treasure everywhere, and his words also woke the others up from the shock, and everyone no longer cared about the giant beast, after all, no matter how terrifying it was, it was already dead, and now the treasure was the most important.
However, the captain Malon did not wander around like the others, looking for treasure, because the situation here told him that there might not be any treasure here, and because there was obviously a great battle here, and even if there was a treasure, it would have been taken by the victors long ago.
"Look, there's a change in the monster's corpse!"
An exclamation of surprise immediately attracted everyone's attention, and then they were horrified to find that in the middle of the neck of the giant beast's head, a ball of flesh suddenly bulged, and this ball of flesh swelled rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The moment he saw the meat ball, a chill suddenly rose in Marlon's heart, he was about to awaken his fighting spirit, so he felt very sensitive, in his senses, an evil and cold terrifying aura was churning and growing in the meat ball.
In the dark, Marlon felt a wave of fear, "I'm afraid there's something even more terrifying than this monster!"
At this moment, the ball of meat, which had risen to a height of more than one meter, suddenly burst open, and the cold and seeping cold wave instantly dispersed in all directions.
Under this cold wave, everyone couldn't help but shiver, but it was their bodies that really trembled, but their souls.
And in the exploding ball of meat, there was a black shadow crouching, and the black shadow was shrouded in a rich cold air, and it was impossible to see the specific appearance.
"What the hell is that?" Borgett unconsciously moved closer, trying to see clearly.
"Bangat, don't come closer!" Marlon's face changed, and he hurriedly yelled at the freckled boy.
In the dark shadow shrouded in cold air, there was a sudden sound of "knock, knock", which was the sound of the heartbeat that was amplified countless times!
"Whew"
The cold wind swept by, and there was a human figure on Bangat's back, and if you looked closely, it turned out to be a skeleton wrapped in layers of human skin, a skeleton!
Bangert only felt that a cold wave invaded his body in an instant, freezing so much that he couldn't even move a finger, in fact, it was not his body that was frozen, the cold wave directly invaded his soul and froze his soul!
The skeleton on Bangot's back suddenly spewed out a breath of cold air, cracked his mouth suddenly, and bit Bangot's neck, and the cold sharp teeth pierced directly into the neck artery, "Grunt", that was the sound of blood surging, and Bangot's vitality also flowed into the skeleton with the surging blood.
I saw that Bangart was emaciated and shriveled down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally became a dried corpse, while the skeleton quickly plumped up, and in the blink of an eye it had become a skinny and thin figure.
"Not enough, not enough, I need more ....."
The thin figure who had sucked Bangot's life was not satisfied, and casually threw away the dried corpse in his hand, licked his lips, and licked the blood droplets left out of the corners of his mouth back into his mouth, and slowly moved towards the other members of the adventure team who were stunned with a hungry bloodthirsty red light.
"Ah, devil!"
"That's the devil!"
Swept by the bloodthirsty eyes, everyone felt that the blood in their bodies was agitated, and only then did they wake up from the trembling terror, and howled out loud, and for a time the figures jumped around, and the noise was boiling.
A red-haired young man with a spear in tow crawled through the mushroom bush with his hands and feet, trying to get away from the terrible devil, but just as he was only one step away from the mushroom bush, terror struck.
As the cold sharp teeth pierced into his neck, the red-haired young man's consciousness quickly dissipated, and his life force flowed down the sharp teeth on the back of his neck into the thin figure behind him.
Another dried corpse!
And after sucking the life force of the two people, the terrifying figure finally turned from a skeleton into a human form, and it was actually a black-haired boy with cold eyes.
The black-haired boy frowned as he looked at the scattered and fleeing figures, and his lips suddenly squirmed, making a hissing sound similar to that of a snake spitting a letter.
"Hiss"
After a while, several people who had fled into the mushroom bush before all stiffened their hands and feet, broke out in a cold sweat, and retreated in despair, and behind these people were layers of big snakes, giant pythons, and colorful poisonous snakes.
The few surviving people were forced back to the edge of the swamp by the dense group of snakes and pythons, and behind them, there were terrifying teenagers who had sucked the lives of two living people, and a desperate, terrifying atmosphere hung over everyone's heads.
"What are we going to do, we're going to die like this?"
"Woo, I don't want to die, I don't want to be a dry corpse. ”
"Marlon is you, you are the one who hurt us, it is not you who lie to us that there is treasure here, we are in this dead end. ”
In the face of everyone's accusations and curses, Marlon was speechless, because these people were right, it was indeed he who harmed everyone, and it was his greed that caused everyone to fall into a desperate death, but this is not the time to regret it, the top priority is to find a way to live.
Suddenly, Marlon stared at the black-haired boy who had changed from a skeleton, his face changed drastically, and his lips trembled in fear.
"You, you're...."
