Chapter 250: The Ape and the Moth (3/3)
It turned out that when Patrick appeared, Ian took the Isengard strategic transfer and escaped into the sea, the pirates ceased fire with the exploration ship.
The former knew that his target was the two teenagers who had escaped, and the latter wanted to be invisible in the sea, God knew that this time he would not only have to toss in a big storm, but also be targeted by a whole pirate fleet and second-level powerhouses, which was too exciting.
Of course, the more important reason is the storm itself - without the presence of its own captain, as well as the protection of Master Gossai and Ian, the pirate fleet is barely able to hold on, and only one exploration ship left is a wave singer to ensure that the ship does not capsize in the waves.
However, no matter how desperately the Wave Singer tried on the exploration ship, it was pointless in the face of the ruins door that suddenly opened later.
Both the exploration ship and the pirate fleet were swallowed up in unison, and because their targets were so large, they were automatically divided into an inlet of the same size by the current, and after a rough wave, they somehow fell into the ice abyss along a flooded cavern.
"In the beginning, we were still pitting each other against the pirates...... But as a result, from a junction above the glacier, a lot of disgusting parasitic monsters and large bugs suddenly poured out! ”
"In order to save our lives, we and the pirates had to rely on ships as bunkers to fight those parasitic monsters."
"It's just that the cannonballs are limited, and we must find a way out, otherwise we will only be consumed by the monsters in place - it just so happened that we noticed an unusual vibration coming from the direction where you are, guide, so the two of us sent out to observe the situation...... There were also people in other directions who went to observe. ”
Lan Fan and Iron Hand staggered their mouths, and quickly recounted the matter roughly.
At first, Lan Fan was a little strange why the iron hand, who was obviously also an elite warrior, would have such respect for the young man in front of him.
But soon, he also knew why.
"I see. Iron Hand, Ethan and Master Gosai are behind, and you go over and help him lead the way. ”
Ian nodded, and he gave an instruction to Ethan's guard, then asked where the fleet was, and then jumped.
In just an instant, his figure disappeared, making Lan Fan's eyes widen, unable to capture the other party's location for a while.
"This is the first energy level?!"
After a few seconds, he saw the figure that had leaped two or three hundred meters away in the wind and snow of the ice abyss, and couldn't help but swallow the ice slag: "This speed is ......."
"Don't look at it, I don't understand."
Having fought side by side, Iron Hand and Blue Sail were also familiar with each other, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of ecstasy in his heart when he heard that the young master and Master Gosai were still there, but when he savored Ian's tone, he felt a trace of unease.
- If the Master of Gosai is in normal condition...... Need a guide to take the lead?
The tall guard knight turned his head, looked in the direction of the artillery position, and couldn't help but shake his head: "If Master Gosai has an accident, even if the strength of the guide ...... I am afraid that the situation cannot be reversed. ”
After all, they knew the strength of those strange and aberrant creatures and bugs - as a Warcraft group that was almost like a cluster of Warcraft, the opponent's combat intelligence was like some kind of man-made biological weapon.
That's definitely not a disadvantage that one person can change with a sword!
Meanwhile.
Ruins of the Ice Abyss, a place of extreme cold.
The wind and snow howled, sweeping across the abyss, and a pale dim light shone on the remains of the ships, covering them with a faint white glow.
And under such a bright light, the sea swordsman Qingchao with a long sword in his hand was stationed on the periphery of the front.
Relying on the remains of ships and ice walls as positions, a group of pirates and crew are manipulating the alchemy cannons that have been carried down, and they are nervously confronting the aberrant monsters and swarms that are waiting for their time not far away.
Arms and legs, walking upright, covered in white fluff, and even its eyes covered by fluff resembled a humanoid beast, but no one would call this monster a human, covered in rugged calcified tissue and sturdy sarcomas, whose epidermis permeated with hypergrown fur that could withstand the bitter cold of the abyss.
And behind these aberrant beasts are swarms of huge white moths.
The ape beast and the moth seem to be incompatible, but in fact, Qingchao knows very well that the other party is really one.
"It's changed! The aberrations are hatching again! ”
Behind him, the panicked voice of the pirate observer was heard, and the voice of the observer of the exploration team carried almost the same fear: "After they have eaten some of the flesh and blood of their kind...... It's starting to hatch again! ”
Monsters hide in the corners of ice hills and hollow cirques that can't be directly attacked by artillery, and can only be observed by an observer who looks at the height of the mast.
And the truth is exactly what they say.
As the white-haired apes devoured the dead corpses of their own kind in the last assault position, as well as the dead warriors of pirates and exploration fleets, their bodies began to grow stronger, dried up, and then burst into cracks.
In the cracks, you can faintly see that there are pink-white tapeworms wriggling under the skin, flesh and blood, these slender tapeworms absorb nutrients in the ape's body, and then come into contact with the cold wind, and quickly begin to change shape, hardening into ice-white bone cocoons.
Suddenly the apes with cracked skin and hatched cocoons in their bodies are still munching on flesh and are frenzied in shape—they will soon become a cocoon of flesh and blood, and the larvae of the great white moth will crawl out of the cocoons of their corpses.
But not all apes hatched, and most of the losers cracked in a howl of extreme pain, and many worms crumbled out of its deformed, rotting flesh, melting into white pulp, and turning into frozen corpses in the cold wind.
Immediately after that, it was the next batch of monster food that poured out of the distant cave entrance.
"Scoop."
Qing Chao knew very well that this was the precursor to the next attack, and his saliva quickly froze in the ice wind, but this could not freeze the anger and battle intent in the heart of this Whale Song Cliff warrior: "It's not more difficult to deal with than the Sea Demon Worm...... There are only a few people who bully us! ”
Since unexpectedly arriving in the abyss deep in this labyrinth, the crew of the exploration ship has not had time to fight with the pirates who have arrived here with them, and they have encountered this endless stream of aberrant apes and giant insects that have appeared out of nowhere.
They seemed to have a goal in mind, marching in the ice field, but when they saw the crowd, they went berserk and launched a surprise attack, forcing the two sides to join forces, using ship wreckage and artillery to counterattack.
Yes, every shelling takes away the aberrant beast and a strange moth, but the shells are limited, and the number of monsters is ...... It seems to be increasing.
The aberrant ape beast is easy to say, that is, the level of ordinary people with relatively large strength, and the weaker ones are even slightly inferior, as long as there are a few sublimators blocking the gap between the shipwreck and the ice wall, they can guard it airtightly.
But those huge white fluffy moths can join forces to incite wings, manipulate the wind and snow and ice picks to hurt people, and are extremely difficult to deal with.
Soon, the monster offensive began.
The snow and ice were enlivened by the flutter of the moths, and even the ice and snow in the wind turned into fist-sized hailstones, which fell down on the people in the position—and on the ground, hordes of apes let out hoarse and piercing roars, charging towards the position, though undisciplined, but madly brave.
Boom Boom!
The cannon was activated, and the warheads slashed through the air, and even the wind briefly became hot, and the high-explosive warheads fell in the community of apes, and the flesh and blood of the apes were blurred when they landed, and both the apes themselves and the tapeworms lurking in their flesh and blood were all killed instantly.
But the artillery fire on the position was no longer as dense as it had been at the beginning, and several pieces of artillery had been damaged and out of control under the severe cold and the targeting of large moths.
The missing ape beast had already rushed to the front of the position, emitting a foul stench and bloody smell that was not easy to smell in the cold environment.
Qing Chao shook his head, and he raised his sword.
It's time to fight.
