Chapter 42: Turning Point
"Woo~", the corpse pieces fell from the sky with a dull wind, and before the body was smashed, the foul smell arrived first, getting stronger and stronger, and it was disgusting.
Monica's legs slammed into force, her body rushed out to the side, several side flips in a row, and she left the place for the first time without slowing down her speed.
Things had changed, and instead of going all the way to the left as had been agreed, she made a few gestures to the side of Babu in her busy schedule, and then suddenly accelerated and rushed straight out to the left. Behind her, the corpse monster let out a cry similar to that of an eagle's chirp, and at the sound of this cry, the nineteen melee warriors at its feet covered their ears almost at the same time, their expressions became distorted and hideous, and their mouths let out painful moans, and it took a while to regain their composure.
Taking advantage of the pain and moaning of the warriors, the monster did not hide its purpose, not only did the big mouth on the top of its head continue to spit out Monica's corpse parts and attack remotely, but the body also turned its direction for the first time and chased after Monica, and the giant corpse hands on the surface of the body even moved under the body, allowing themselves to run faster and more steadily.
The melee warriors had just recovered, and now they were a little stunned, not quite understanding why the monsters who had just fought to the death suddenly left behind their enemies, and they didn't even pay much attention to the long-range artillery fire of the war equipment, and began to move as hard as they could, even if they were hit by long-range throwing stones or crossbow arrows, at most they would return to a swallow attack.
"What's going on?" Matthew was also a little stunned, but immediately began to give instructions, "Go and notify the remote team, increase the intensity of firepower and test it, if the other party doesn't ...... What is that? โ
As he was commanding, Matthew's expression suddenly froze, and he quickly took off the metal cylinder hanging from his waist, pulled it open and brought it to his eyes, looked in the direction of the monster, and muttered: "This is the businesswoman, what did she do to the monster, the monster actually stared at her and chased her alone, even her companions, huh?" By the way, what about her companions? โ
Matthew came back to his senses, holding the metal cylinder and looking around Monica in the distance, but did not find the target, and finally turned around in the direction of the entrance, he saw that Aurora had broken through the red mist, and a large head filled the field of vision in the metal tube.
"Roar, I don't eat people." Seeing Matthew subconsciously take a step back, Aurora roared, as if he was about to bite, but in a blink of an eye, he still put his anger aside, and hurriedly said, "Babu, they let me inform you, they have grabbed the monster's attention and can start attacking." โ
"This, this ......" Matthew was so calm that someone was a little stuttering, "how did they do it?" โ
"How do I know?" The corners of Aurora's mouth twitched, and her eyes fluttered and said, "Maybe the monster doesn't like them, there must be other reasons from time to time, otherwise why doesn't it chase me?" โ
"Huh? Chasing you? โ
"Don't be verbose, you can attack anyway." Aurora snarled unreasonably, "But remind those ranged warriors not to be too selfless when attacking, and in case of an accident, they will have enough time to evacuate." Also, Bรกb let me remind you of one thing, something is not right here. โ
"Huh?"
"I don't know the specifics, he just said that you should shorten the time they go to the edge each time and increase the number of times they go back to recuperate." Aurora said impatiently, "I don't know the reason, no, you can ask him, he is ......"
"Whew", before the words fell, a bright light flashed in the distance, and then a large flame suddenly rose from the monster that was concentrating on moving, the flame was burning, and the squeaky burning sound could be heard from a long distance, and the edge was soon filled with a smell of barbecue.
"Wow, they're already getting started, Matthew, your guys should have brought in cocktails, let's get started." Aurora suddenly became excited, shook her arm with great interest, turned her head in the direction of the entrance and ran over, shouting as she ran, "Such a fun prop, I've been holding it all night, just waiting for a chance to try it, and no one is allowed to grab it from me." โ
As Aurora said, dozens of wine boxes have been pushed in at the entrance, and the outside of the wine boxes is covered with several layers of quilts, tightly wrapped, ready to resist the impact, but until the end of the space conversion, there was no expected long-range attack, which made the few people who transported it finally breathe a sigh of relief. As soon as he relaxed, a figure rushed over, screaming and pounced, ripped open the quilt and grabbed a bag of cocktails and ran, the delivery person only felt that his forehead was bruised, but he didn't dare to stop it, so he could only grit his teeth secretly.
"General, your subordinates have completed their mission." Luckily, Matthew then came running over, and several of the officers who delivered the goods tapped Matthew on his chest and shouted, "The cocktails are intact, uh, except for the one that was taken by the two merchants outside, and the ...... just now"
"I see it, you're doing a great job."
Matthew waved his hand, and more than a dozen close warriors with the strongest strength and the highest resistance behind him swarmed up, one of them received a bag of five bottles of cocktails, and each of them saluted the horse, and then followed Aurora's back and rushed to the burning monster, the whole process, everyone's face sank like water, there was no joy or anger on their faces, and they acted silently without saying a word, without fear, without hesitation, and without even turning back, full of tragic atmosphere.
"You guys are transporting the rest of the cocktails separately and keeping them moving, and it's not forbidden to stop until someone picks them up." Matthew finally took a bag and saluted the officers with a bang on their chests, just as a fire rose in the distance and another cocktail burned.
This is clearly again the work of the Bรกb.
Monica led far ahead, with the blessing of shiny leather heels on a red background and black face, the potholed fields that were blown up seemed to be a smooth road in her eyes, although the monster suddenly erupted a long-range raid from time to time, so that she would occasionally rush to dodge in a thrilling way, but it was not so easy for the monster to catch up with her, and could only fall far behind her.
She didn't keep running in a straight line with her head stuffy, but ran in circles along the arc with a radius of about two hundred meters from the entrance, and not only led the monster to run in front, but also supported the ground with one foot from time to time, and raised the other leg high above her head, so that the beautiful high heels hung on her toes, shaking in the observation range of the monster.
At this time, the huge pile of corpses would let out a desolate wail, and the sheer size made the wailing sound equally large, even if it was a few hundred meters away, the soldiers of the pro-guard could hear it clearly. The wailing contained endless anger and sadness, hearing something, many soldiers involuntarily burst into tears, until they were woken up by their comrades who were still awake, and then they wiped their tears in fear and forcibly suppressed the grief in their hearts.
The monster is in hot pursuit of Monica, and Babu is following the monster in hot pursuit. At this time, there were already two places on the monster's body, and although the body surface was covered with slimy corpse fluid, which affected the power of the flames, the special material of the cocktail made the flames stick to the body surface like maggots attached to the bones and roasted repeatedly, so that the corpse pieces in the burning range had been burned black and cracked, revealing large pieces of dark brown rotten flesh inside, and even the surrounding part of the corpse liquid had been roasted a lot.
But compared to the body with a diameter of hundreds of meters, the burning range of about one meter at most is really inconspicuous, the monster is hard against the two fires, and continues to pursue Monica as if nothing happened, seeing that Monica has dodged and spit twice in a row and revealed danger, Babu's face was a little gloomy, but the pace of chasing did not stop, but he just patted Anna's head lying behind him with his backhand.
Smelling the scorching and rancid smell in the air, the little thing seemed to understand what was happening, and kept lying on Babu's back silently like a kitten, hugging Babu's neck with a peaceful face, until she was patted on the head by Babu, she reluctantly rubbed Babu's back, took out two bottles of cocktails from her small bag and handed them to Babu's hands.
Babu took a few steps forward, risking that he might be attacked by the opponent at any moment, pulling the distance to within five meters, and then raised his hand sharply.
The monster in front of you is not actually suitable for attacking in this way, because it does not have a hard shell like a building or a war machine, but is made of a large number of corpse parts, and the body surface is soft and fleshy, although the glass wine bottle is the thinnest and most brittle, but it is difficult to smash without full strength.
Fortunately, Babu had another way, he picked out the left and right hands one after another, and the two bottles flew towards the monster's huge body, the first bottle was unexpectedly stuck by the elastic corpse on the body surface, and remained intact, while the second bottle followed, chasing and smashing on the previous bottle, although it was not very positive, but the crisp sound of glass shattering still showed the effect of impact.
Then, another burst of flames rose into the sky, and the fire on the monster's body became even larger, and Babu stopped sharply at his feet and rushed out to one side.
At the same time, the monster's speed also slowed down, Babu changed direction in advance, saving him from the doom of crashing headlong, Monica once again stretched her legs into the air, and continued to inspire the monster's instinctive hatred with the high heels on her feet, but this time the monster did not continue to follow, but turned its target to Babu, and several corpse hands smashed down on the head, blocking the space around Babu from all directions.
Thankfully, we took precautions. Babu was secretly glad in his heart, and he tried his best to indulge himself, and then rolled several times in succession, avoiding the monster's slapping, and just as he fled, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and then two bottles of wine roared and smashed into the huge pile of corpses as if they had been thrown by catapults.
It was Aurora, who rushed over in a hurry and threw out the bottle in a hurry.
The accuracy was almost none, if it weren't for the monster being too big, Babu would have doubted whether she could hit, and it would have been even more impossible to make the two bottles smash each other, but her strength was too great, and the bottle hit the monster with a whining wind, and smashed the bottle on the soft piece of meat, and the oil with the added material spontaneously combusted in the wind, causing the temperature to rise again.
"Very timely and well done."
The dusty Babu looked back and gave a thumbs up, and then began to run for his life, because dozens of giant hands composed of corpse pieces had already been slapped again. This time, it was Babu who was bitten to death, and Monica became the one chasing after her, and soon threw out two bottles of cocktails as well.
Unlike Babu and Aurora, she threw bottle by bottle and with a whip.
First throw out a piece of gravel on the ground, and then smash it with the whip slightly rolling the bottle. The whip stretched to a limit of five or six meters, which was just the shortest safe distance for throwing, so it was almost equivalent to carrying the bottle and smashing it on the stone, and it couldn't be more accurate, and the two bottles shattered in response, making the flames behind the monster more and more vigorous.
Instead of taking the lead in front, Babu realized how much pressure Monica was just now.
The distance must not be too close, because once it is caught up, it is quite a troublesome thing, the monster's long corpse hand is enough to cover the range of ten meters outside its body, after being pulled into the melee range, dozens of arms are like swatting flies, so that people have nowhere to hide, plus the corpse liquid splashing everywhere, His Royal Highness the Baron can testify, this thing is a little stained, it is estimated that there will be many smoked people who dare not approach, not to mention that its essence is a high concentration of polluted energy, and the unknown threat is too great.
And it's hard to do it if you want to close the distance.,The monster is too big.,The movement seems to be slow.,But a little movement is actually a few meters or even more than ten meters.,The actual movement speed is quite amazing.,As soon as the pace slows down slightly.,You'll be shortened the distance.,No wonder Monica was almost caught up a few times just now.ใ
The only convenient way is to take advantage of the monster's too large size and frequently change direction to buy time, but this is equivalent to sending Monica and Aurora to the monster to attack, and each time they change direction, the two will encounter a danger.
Therefore, Babu has no other way but to run in a straight line to fight for speed, but he is not as fast as Monica, and he can't play to his strengths, and he falls into an embarrassing situation faster than Monica.
"No, if you go on like this, you can only escape all the way back to the present world for a while." Babu quickly thought in his mind, "Can you escape back first, I have promised Abby and Ira before to prevent the doom of the Second Legion from being wiped out for them, and now I have fled back shortly after the war started, is it to let Monica assist the Second Legion by herself?" Absolutely not. Countermeasures must be found as soon as possible. โ
So, the countermeasure came.
More than twenty soldiers, suddenly broke through the red mist and rushed out, these carefully selected elites with the highest resistance, each holding a cocktail bottle, surrounded the monster from all directions, the monster's attention was still focused on Babu, taking this opportunity, these people tried their best to close the distance, everyone threw the bottle in their hand at the monster, a group of four, to the same landing point, so that the bottle collided and shattered as much as possible.
Only Matthew was facing Babu head-on, and as he passed by, Matthew smiled for the first time and whispered, "I've been waiting for a long time, I'm sorry, I'm late." โ
"It's not too late, it's just right." Knowing that this was the biggest turnaround, Babu gave a thumbs up and smiled, then pointed at the monster sharply and shouted, "Now, it's time for us to fight back." โ
"Brothers, listen to Brother Bรกb, go up together."
And so, the counterattack began.
