Chapter 12: The Flames Soar to the Sky
The Báb leaped down.
Listening to the whistling wind, the height of twenty meters flashed by.
Gently tugging the hook lock to adjust the landing point, before it landed, the hook lock was already retracted into the belt by Babu, and the whole person fell freely, smashing heavily to the ground.
"Bang", a bush was waving vines, wandering under the tower to find a way up, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky, both feet stepped heavily on its main bushes, the huge impact made its vines soft, directly lying down, after a crisp sound of branch breaking, the shrub body was smashed crookedly, and even many vines hung down softly.
At the same time, a dagger popped out of Babu's cuff and pierced directly through the center of the bush itself, and when the four guards were fighting before, their leader had demonstrated it, and Babu naturally did the same, and the effect was very good.
The impaled bush mutant in the center seemed to be stimulated by something, and began to spin in place, the vines writhing wildly, rubbing against each other and making a creaking sound, like a scream in a dying struggle.
As soon as Babu dipped away, as soon as his strength penetrated the enemy, the dagger had magically retracted into his cuffs, and his body seemed to turn into a wisp of green smoke, and quickly floated to the side.
Immediately, another black shadow fell from the sky, also stepping on the bush, and the delicate high heels trampled the monster fiercely, smashing the writhing and struggling mutant completely without moving.
As soon as Monica landed, she immediately raised her right leg high and spun in a circle with her left foot as the axis, dissolving the remaining momentum of the landing. The straight long legs whirred with the wind, like a big axe, and the two black shadows around him who couldn't see the appearance just came over, and they were picked up by the long legs, rolling and twisting and flying out, colliding with other monsters around them. Taking advantage of the path opened by the victim, Monica walked lightly and quickly followed Babu's figure.
"Huh", in the darkness, a pillar of light shone brightly and eye-catchingly, covering Babu and Monica, and the light was highly concentrated, covering the space around the two of them. With the help of the pillar of light, he could finally see the surrounding environment clearly, and within the visual range, dozens of mutants of various indescribable shapes had gathered, and in the shadows outside the pillar of light, there were countless black shadows faintly wriggling, and a large area of the square was crowded, like a group of demons dancing wildly.
The pillar of light slowly moved forward, out of the range of the two people, focusing on the back of the two, and within the range of the aperture, an ominous energy suddenly appeared, and then a deep black flame fell from the sky, hitting the center of the pillar of light.
The flames fell to the ground, time seemed to stand still for a moment, and the next moment, with the landing point as the center, a black ring of pollution magic energy erupted from the ground and shot straight into the sky. Under the impact, several mutants in the center were directly torn to pieces by the furious energy, and the shock wave formed with the energy gushing violently blew around, staggering the surrounding mutants.
Babu and Monica were also within the range of the shockwave, but they were not as embarrassed as those mutants, the two of them turned their backs to the shockwave, and with the power of the shockwave as if they were riding against the wind, they suddenly increased their speed, and in an instant, they were out of the range of the pillar of light and disappeared into the darkness full of shadows.
"Say hello, hello." In the darkness came Babu's voice, which hid an almost irrepressible excitement and excitement, and the voice was rolling, and it was especially clean to listen to in the night, "Hahahaha, come, laugh."
With a "bang", the glass shattered, followed by a dazzling light, and a flame appeared out of thin air with the sound of glass breaking, and then quickly spread around, covering a large space in the blink of an eye.
Covered by the flames, there were several mutants whose original appearance could not be seen, their bodies had long been filled with hypertrophic tentacle appendages and sarcoma abscesses, becoming strange but quite flexible, once ignited, they immediately writhed their bodies and rolled around, but no matter how they struggled, the flames were as if they were fixed on them, and the fire not only did not weaken in the struggle, but became less and more vigorous, and even when they collided with other mutants, the parts where those monsters were hit also burned.
"Oh, hehehe, it's not okay not to laugh, but if you dare to be disobedient, you must be punished."
The crisp laughter is unbridled and unbridled, wild and flamboyant, in the midst of laughter
Monica's slender silhouette swung her whip and whipped at the mutants around her, and under the whip's control, the bottle wrapped in the whip exploded on one of the largest mutants, and the slimy liquid inside splashed around with a pungent smell. As soon as it spilled out of the bottle, the slimy liquid immediately spontaneously combusted in the wind, causing a large fire to ignite in the square. Around the target that was smashed, whether it was a shrub composed of plants or a body composed of flesh, it was greatly affected by the high temperature, shaking and contracting to make the limbs take various strange postures, while scorching and carbonizing, making a squeaky burning sound.
A mutant with flexible movements, fortunately dodged in time before Monica smashed the bottle, and was not eroded by the flames, but before it could make a move, the ghostly figure of Babu passed behind it, and between the light and shadow of the flames, he dressed in white almost merged with the firelight, appearing and disappearing, like a ghost, not only invisible, but also silent, and even the normal breath of life has been blocked, so that the mutant cannot be distinguished, and he is always unaware.
The moment he passed by, Babu stared at the monster's body tightly, his eyes were clear, and the distribution of polluted energy in the monster's body loomed in his field of vision, and he found a position with the highest energy intensity, and Babu's cuffs stretched out the dagger again, and stabbed it with a knife. At the same time as the stab, Babu didn't even look at the result, and kicked the mutant directly in the back, pulling out the dagger and retracting the cuff, kicking the mutant directly into the burning flames.
Unlike its own creatures, which were still running around with flames, the mutant began to move a few steps against the flames, but its movements became slower and slower, and soon it lay motionless on the ground, only the rotten flesh on its body squeaked under the scorching flames, and at the same time emitted a strong smell of roasted meat.
"Look at how happy they laugh, they must be very happy now, very grateful to us, hahahaha."
Listening to the tooth-aching squeaks, Babu laughed and threw out two more bottles of cocktail, wrapping more mutants in the flames, making the burning area larger, but his laughter suddenly stopped, and a dozen vines crept down the ground to his feet, and suddenly burst out at the same time, and the tips of the vines cracked, and the jagged cleft like a big mouth full of fangs, and pounced viciously on Babu's two calves.
Without bending over and bending his legs, Babu pulled up from the ground as the vines pounced, jumped past the burning monsters and rushed straight to the opposite side, using the flames to isolate the sneak attackers, but as soon as he was halfway there, the strength of the pull-up was exhausted, and his body began to fall, and he was about to fall on the edge of the flames.
However, just as he was just about to fall, a dark shadow snaked from the side, just past the feet of Babu in mid-air, and there was no doubt that it was Monica's long whip. Babu's tacit toes tapped the whip, and the whip shook upwards at the same time, and Babu climbed up again as if he had stepped on a spring, and then with a somersault, he successfully crossed the flames.
"They must have been moved by the enthusiasm and warmth we offered, and I think they may have never met such a kind traveler as us, so they can't wait to come around to express their gratitude to us. In that case, then I'll treat them well, hehehehe."
Sending Babu away, Monica's long whip turned, the whip sank slightly and entangled the two nearest vines that were chasing, and pulled back with both hands, and in the chaotic scene, two of the bush mutants shook slightly, Monica immediately found the target, and threw out four bottles of cocktails in a row towards the two shaking mutants.
There was another burst of fire, which was extremely vigorous, and the mutant that was already wood was quickly ignited by the flames. However, Monica did not change the target after igniting it as before, but quickly approached while the fire on the two monsters was still strong, took out the dagger in her off-hand, aimed it at the approximate position that Babu had just chosen, and stabbed straight into it.
The two mutants shook violently, and then quickly collapsed like deflated balloons, and soon lost power, but Monica didn't let them go, with a sly smile on her face, and then the energy in her body exploded, and the power poured into her arms, dragging the corpses of the two mutants through the whip and the vines, and dragging them faster and faster, and finally picking up the two bushes that were burning with cocktails.
Two fireballs soon began to circulate around Monica like meteors
From time to time, it smashed on the surrounding mutants, and once it was hit, the fire oil would immediately spread to the other party, burning the other party, so, in the midst of indulgent laughter, with Monica as the center, the scope of the fire quickly expanded, spreading to the entire square.
With the full attention of her hands, Monica didn't look down, and she didn't see an extra mess under her feet. It was a flat mutant. Maybe it used to be some kind of giant bug, but now it has become a flat lying on the ground, less than ten centimeters high, even if the body is very long and more than two meters, but the black body is close to the ground, it is still not easy to find.
Monica didn't notice either, the flickering flames affected her vision, and the long giant worm reached her feet, and her upper body was raised, revealing a row of tears hidden in her abdomen. The crack cracked like a vertical open, green slime dripping out of the "mouth", and the grinning giant worm leaned back slightly, and then slammed into Monica's thigh like a spring.
"Don't rob me, stupid bug."
Before the upper body of the mutated giant insect with its mouth wide open could pop out, one foot fell from the sky, stepping on its head and pressing it back to the ground, and the hard shell even smashed a hole into the ground. Babu rushed out of the oblique thorn in time, and while stepping on the bug, he spun around Monica's waist with his hand, and Monica's movement of picking up the two fire meteors in his hand did not even stop, the two of them were like dancing, and left the place in a whirlwind, and when leaving, Babu did not forget to throw a bottle that had just been replenished from the handbag with his backhand, and shattered it on the hard shell of the giant worm, making the giant worm writhe wildly in the flames.
The two of them turned away from the giant worm, and their bodies quickly separated under Monica's clear laughter, and they spun to the sides, spinning as the glass bottle of the cocktail flew out of Babu's hand from time to time, and the fire burst into the sky wherever they passed.
The next moment, a violent wind rose.
Almost from the edge of the wind, the wind suddenly rose, and the wind was confined to the square, and the stronger it blew. In the window of the bell tower, Judy stretched out her right hand out of the window, and pointed to the square below, and the sudden wind swirled in the square in the direction of her finger, and the already fierce fire became more intense.
With the joint efforts of the three of them, more and more areas of the square were covered by flames, and even the small buildings scattered on the square were engulfed in flames, and only fortunately there were no flammable materials nearby, the fire was not out of control, and the bell tower was not set on fire, but even so, several people above twenty meters still felt the obvious burning and scorching.
But the mutants around the square weren't so lucky.
They are not living beings, nor are they afraid, the heat cannot restrain them, and the flames cannot scare them away. However, most of their mutated bodies are still made up of flesh and blood, and the heat and flames are enough to destroy their bodies, especially the unique cocktail in Babu's hand, which can burn them to ashes.
As a result, the fairly open square was soon filled with flames, and the sky-high flames reflected the night sky at the edge of the sky red. A large number of mutants wandered in the flames in a daze, and from time to time the mutants completely collapsed, remaining in the flames forever, and their bodies became the fuel for the flames, making the flames even more vigorous.
"Hahaha, I've probably wanted to do this a long time ago." As he threw a cocktail from afar, revitalizing a flames that were about to be extinguished, Babu laughed and said, "It's exciting to think about setting fire to a thousand-year-old city and burning those beautiful old buildings to ashes along with the artwork inside."
"Why are you so skilled?" Monica jumped to Babu's side in a few steps, and the two of them had already shrunk back to the foot of the bell tower, and there were flames outside, and they couldn't stay any longer, so they could only hide back. At this time, although Monica's face was all gray and black, her hair was scorched and black, and her head was covered with sweat, she was full of energy and laughed excitedly, "You won't have done this many times before, will you?"
"Not really, I couldn't bear those treasures before." Babu's eyes lit up suddenly, "Why don't we try and put a few more fires around?"
"Hey, haven't you two had enough?" The two of them, who were discussing bad things, were awakened by the sudden sound of calls overhead, and when they looked up, they saw Judy's bandaged face poking out of the window, "There is this
Some fires can at least buy a few hours to keep the mutants from coming in, do you want to come up and rest for a while, it's still going to be long tonight, if you haven't had enough, there is still a chance."
The two of them glanced at each other, touched the cocktail in their hands, and smiled strangely, feeling as if they had awakened some terrible hobby.
As Judy said, it's still going to be tonight.
