Chapter 683: Actual Combat Test
The actions of the two dependents, who thought they were secretive, were completely guarded outside the hotel
They didn't think too much about dividing the troops, because they knew very well the strength and weakness of the named family, and although the division of troops could solve the two families, the remaining family in the hotel was not something that a night watchman could solve.
So they quickly exchanged gestures, and quickly made a decision, and instead of continuing to monitor the hotel, they chose the safest way and followed the two dependents.
Not long after the two night watchmen had left, the remaining clan climbed over the fence and landed in the street, looked in the direction the four had left, and then quickly left in the opposite direction.
The clan knew very well that there was not much time left for him to escape, and there was no one else around, so when he felt that he was moving too slowly, he did not hesitate to change his body and release his clan power.
I saw that his body was expanding and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the bones were rapidly twisting and deforming as the body became larger, and the flesh seemed to have disappeared and collapsed entirely, and the remaining black iron skin tightly wrapped around the twisted and deformed bones.
The mutated bones made his whole body stiff, his back turned into sharp spurs that burrowed out from under his skin, his arms were long and pressed to the ground, his head became larger and twisted, his mouth protruded forward, split into four petals, and his mouth was covered with barb-like sharp teeth, and some tentacles with steel needles protruding from his throat.
Although it turned into a beast-like giant monster with a height of three meters and a length of five or six meters, it was still extremely light, and it could reach a height of seven or eight meters with a casual jump, and it did not make much noise when it fell heavily, and it was more than ten times faster, and when it ran, its entire body turned into a blurred black shadow.
Running at full speed, the clan soon reached a small hill outside of Barrel Town, and then a loud roar was heard from the new residential area in Barrel Town, followed by a huge pile of muddy objects appeared in the residential area, and some light shone around it to cut its body.
The clansman's eyesight was excellent, and he saw not only one of his companions being besieged, but also another companion, who was now in a different position.
It's just that he didn't expect the bait to be so ineffective, he knew very well that there was not much time left for him, and once his two companions were dealt with by the night watchman, then the night watch would definitely come back to deal with him.
He didn't know what the Night's Watch had, but from the rumors he'd heard before, he knew that the Night's Watch was very good at tracking down Runaway Clans, so he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to avoid the Night's Watch if he was running so far now.
All he could do now was escape from Barrel as much as he could, to the kingdom of Savile across the Quincys Mountains.
However, he had just stepped out on all fours, ready to use his physical superiority to find a slightly rough but fast road, to create obstacles for his pursuers, and to speed up his march, when a very slight bowstring sound came from the side, and then a small crossbow arrow was fired at him.
Although it was a sneak attack, he had already sensed the danger the moment the crossbow bolt flew out with his extraordinary senses, but after seeing that it was an ordinary bow and crossbow bolt flying over, he didn't take this sneak attack to heart at all, because he had encountered this kind of crossbow bolt before, and its power couldn't even pierce his skin, so he had no intention of dodging at all, but actively looked for the sneak attacker, and he had already figured out how to eat this sneak attacker.
However, something unexpected happened to him, the moment the crossbow arrow pierced him, it was not bounced off by his armor-like skin, but directly pierced into his body, and the barb on the arrow still hooked his body, and he was directly carried out by the force attached to the arrow, and hit the trunk next to him heavily.
Then seven or eight times the sound of the bowstring flicking came from the nearby woods, and the arrows pierced his palms, shoulders, and various parts of his body, most of which penetrated his body and pierced into the trunk of the tree behind him, nailing him to the ground.
The severe pain from his body made him want to get rid of these bows and crossbows, and he even did not hesitate to let the crossbow tear off a piece of flesh from his body, and also broke free from the shackles of the bow and crossbow, but the opposite thing was that the arrows seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power, so that the arrow shaft and his body were integrated, and nailed to the trunk of the tree, as long as his strength was close to the arrow, there would be an inexplicable sense of loss, so that he could not break free from the restraints.
Then, he saw a tall man in a normal Mares half-length trench coat come out of the woods not far away, carrying an ordinary-looking light machine crossbow from Saville.
Even when he saw the light crossbow, the clan still wondered if he had been injured by the arrows fired by the crossbow, because in his memory, the crossbow had no effect on him at all.
Although his current situation was terrible, he did not give up hope of breaking free, he saw the tall man approaching him, and thought that the man must be a novice night watchman, as long as the other party approached, he still had a chance to deal with the other party.
So when the tall man approached, he deliberately pretended to be extremely weak, as if he had lost the strength to resist.
As the tall man walked up, the dependant suddenly raised his head and threw it, grew his mouth, and shot out a dozen tentacles like straws from his innermost part, and stabbed them towards the tall man.
It's just that before the straw fell on the tall man, an invisible force directly blocked these disgusting tentacles, and then an invisible force rushed away from the tentacles and directly drilled into the mouth of the dependents, and the entire head of the dependents burst open instantly from the inside out.
"It works out pretty well. After settling the family, the tall man muttered to himself.
This tall man is naturally Leo, after he finished testing the mechanical puppet, he took a machine crossbow and reassembled it, because of the experience of assembling the mechanical figure, and the structure of the machine crossbow is simpler, he took a short time to complete the modification, and also made a few rune arrows by the way.
These rune arrows were made according to the principle that the king and queen gave special power to the special bullets, the only difference is that it is not the crossbow that fires the rune arrows that gives the power to the rune arrows, but the user itself.
The rune magic array depicted on the rune arrow is an improved ordinary energy storage magic array, and after Leo's improvement, there is not only one type of energy stored in this magic array, but many kinds, just like he used the devouring power just now and injected it into the rune arrow, which is very good in terms of effect.
Although the rune arrow is very powerful with a crossbow with extraordinary effect, it is not without shortcomings, such as the arrow will be scrapped after being used once, and for example, it can only be injected with energy when it is used, otherwise it may be injected in advance, the energy may be lost, and the rune arrow has also lost its effect, and the last point is that the rune magic array on the surface of the rune arrow is very complicated, and it will take him a short time to carve it without error, so this kind of rune arrow is impossible to mass-produce at all.
After he made the crossbow and rune arrows, he naturally wanted to test the power, and the three dependents who had eaten people were naturally the best experiments.
So, Leo came to the outside of the hotel through the imprints left on the three clansmen during the day.
However, the night watchman was also watching the hotel at the time, and he was not going to make contact with the night watchman, so he did not act immediately.
Not long after, two of the three clansmen quietly left the inn with the greed of cannibalism, and the two night watchmen followed, and finally the clan came out of the inn and fled in the opposite direction.
Leo saw that the opportunity had come, so he followed, and only when he thought that even if there was any movement, it would not make any difference, and then he made a move on the family.
It's just that to his surprise, after adding four or five parts and two thrust springs, the power of this small machine crossbow will increase so much, it is comparable to a heavy crossbow, and the devouring power attached to the rune arrow directly devours and decomposes the power of the clan, so that the clan completely loses the ability to resist.
Although the clan was quickly resolved, Leo decided to take a closer look at the injuries on the clan's body, and then pulled the rune arrow out of the corpse's wound to check the condition of the rune arrow.
As he expected, cracks had already appeared on the surface of the rune arrows, making it impossible to use them anymore.
Then, he drew out the twin long swords, quickly dissected the clan in front of him, and carefully examined the details of the structure of the clan's body.
Just after he had finished examining his family's body, the commotion caused by the cannibalistic family in Barrel Town had been quelled by the Night's Watch.
However, even if it subsided, the silence in the town had been broken, and almost the entire town was awakened from its sleep by the sound of the clansmen and the night watchmen, and saw the twisted and terrible bodies of the clansmen, and also saw the process of the night watchmen killing the clansmen.
They were shocked at what was happening, but they were also excited, because what they had talked about in the tavern during the day could be seen at night, and everyone gathered around the family out of curiosity to see what these monsters that had suddenly appeared in the world were like.
The Night's Watch didn't take this lesson as easily as these curious ordinary people, who knew very well that these clansmen were in danger even if they died.
Not to mention that the blood of these dependents will cause some unpredictable infections, just the appearance of these dependents will imperceptibly pollute the spirit of ordinary people, and those who are deeply polluted will either have headaches, brain swelling, nightmares and other problems, or go crazy directly.
So before the people around them approached, they called in the town guards, expelled the crowd to safety, and then they disposed of the two corpses according to the established rules, such as cutting off some characteristic organs of the family as evidence of completing the task, and then sprinkled some special powder on the corpses.
This powder was carefully researched by the Night's Watch and the Orthodox Church to target the corpses of the Dependents, and they were able to react with the blood of the Clansmen, and then turned into a highly corrosive liquid that only targeted the Clansmen, and it only took a while to completely dispose of the two Clansmen's corpses.
"Oops!" Just as the two night watchmen had packed up the corpses of their dependents and watched the corpses begin to corrode themselves under the effect of the special powder, the young night watchman, who had some injuries on his body, suddenly exclaimed, and then said sharply: "That guy may have heard the movement and fled." ”
"It doesn't matter, as long as he's in the hotel, I'll be able to find him. Some of the tired old night watchmen motioned to their companions not to panic, and then said a few words to the captain of the town guard, and hurried to the inn with his colleagues.
After arriving at the hotel, they immediately asked about the room where the last dependant lived, and then the waiter directly unlocked the room and entered the room.
The situation in the room was as they expected, the family member was already empty.
However, the older Night's Watch did not get discouraged by this, but he took a potion from his waist and swallowed it.
The moment he took the potion, the night watchman's face immediately showed a little pain, and the blue tendons around his eyes and nose appeared, especially the eyes, the pupils disappeared completely, and only the whites of the eyes remained.
After turning the whites of his eyes, the night watchman quickly walked around the room, then quickly jumped out of the window and climbed over the fence, followed by another night watchman.
The night watchman then followed the path of the clan's departure, as if he had seen the clan's movements.
It didn't take long for them to reach the hills outside the town, and they all stopped in unison, and drew their weapons, for they both smelled the thick smell of blood around them.
Then, the two of them walked cautiously along the place where the bloody qi appeared, always on guard against the surrounding movements, ready to deal with sudden attacks.
It's just that this tense atmosphere couldn't help but be stunned after they came to the source of the bloody qi and recognized the origin of the puddle of broken bones and pieces of flesh in front of them.
"He's dead, who killed him?" asked the young night watchman, looking at the bloody scene before him, his throat aching.
The older night watchman took a deep breath and said with a serious expression: "I don't know, but I know very well that the person who killed this guy is definitely a ruthless character, and he actually dismembered this guy, I hope it's not an enemy." ”
After saying that, he looked around with his eyes that had been mutated through the potion, but this sight made him suffer, he only saw a dazzling white light appear in front of him, and then his eyes were like blind, and he could no longer see anything else.
