Chapter 297: Encounter by the Lake
Roshi took advantage of the chaos to make his way through the village, and finally left the madmen behind and stepped into the woods behind the village.
The flames of the false gods have not yet taken advantage of the chaos to burn here, and they have gone a little farther, and the hustle and bustle has been left behind.
Roshi subconsciously raised his head and saw the moon very rarely.
It's really rare here, although there are indeed days and nights in this world, but the presence of the sun is very low, most of the time it is overcast, and sunny days are very rare here.
But tonight, although the clouds had not dispersed, Roshi had seen the moon fully exposed to the sky for the first time in a long time.
After a moment's attention, Roshi moved on to business.
But he had barely taken a few steps when a sporadic light suddenly lit up in the darkness.
It's not bright, and it looks gloomy against the not-so-bright moonlight.
"Purr-"
The purring of the beast.
Roshi saw the shadows of things slowly approaching.
Dog.
Some of the features are probably dogs, but no one would suspect that they are wolves, their fur is bare, and their bodies are covered with burn marks.
It's as if a dog that has been burned to death has become a zombie dog and has risen again.
The collars around their necks indicate that they have owners, and these collars are the source of the fire.
Roshi looked at the creatures with some curiosity.
"I thought only the weird fish in the sea would grow more presumptuous."
As soon as Luo Xi's teasing words fell, the vicious dogs in front of him quickly spread out and surrounded Luo Xi, and three of them pounced on them head-on, extremely fast.
At least the most common four-legged monster fish certainly doesn't have the ferocious speed of the other side.
An unpleasant burning smell hit my nose.
Roshi reached out and touched his waist.
There were two guns there, one of Mahad's black muskets and one of Rohi's own silver-gray.
He picked up his silver-gray musket and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The loud gunfire retracted, a cluster of sparks flashed, and the two dogs in front of them tilted their heads on the spot, and then rolled on the ground according to inertia.
The remaining one jumped into the air and pounced on Rohi's door, and Rohi waved the anchor with one hand at will, and his body broke open at the waist, letting out a whimper and then making a sound.
The sound of firearms echoed, but it didn't scare the other dogs around.
Even the dogs became more manic after hearing the gunshots and seemed to be further stimulated.
In the face of the sound of hunters' guns, even humans, the mentally uncertain will be intimidated.
Not to mention most of the sea monsters and beasts, they either fled or became suspicious when the shots rang out, and the timid ones were more likely to lie down and pretend to be dead on the spot.
But instead of being afraid, the dogs were even more excited.
"Fire?" Keywords quickly flashed through Roshi's mind.
This group of dogs, and even the group of people behind this group of dogs, seems to be called a "false god cult".
The fire they use is the fire of the "false gods", and the nature of this fire is quite different from that of the fire, but the form of expression is highly similar.
Combined with the myths of this world that Roshi had heard from Mahad, the connection cannot be ignored.
The surrounding dogs pounced at the same time, and they were agile, constantly jumping left and right, and their bodies repeatedly staggered, trying to confuse the senses of their prey.
Roshi watched quietly.
"Whew!"
A dog bursts into the corner behind Roshi, its mouth open, and its sharp teeth are directed at Roshi's neck.
But before it could bite Roshi, it was smashed out by Roshi's sudden anchor, and it turned into a puddle of flesh in midair.
Luo Xi pressed the mechanism, the anchor crown and anchor rod separated, grabbed the connected chain and swung vigorously, and the anchor claw that turned into a flying murder weapon extended out, and after a large range of roundabouts, the surrounding thick trees broke one after another.
The vicious dog, which could not dodge, was even more involved and died on the spot.
After a simple clearance, Rohi pulled back the anchor crown, held the anchor sword in one hand and the anchor crown in the other, casually looked at the suddenly opened vision around him, and continued to move forward.
This time, there were no more enemies in the way, and a lake appeared in front of me.
Surrounded by mountains on both sides, the scenery is beautiful, and the strange voice of life that Roshi hears comes from this lake.
There is a circle of bonfires around the lake, in which the fire of the false gods burns.
"Has the owner of the sea shrunk into the master of the lake?" Roshi laughed to himself, and then came to the lake, his vision trying to penetrate the water, but the visibility from the shore was somewhat mediocre.
"I don't know if my sea fish can stand fresh water." Roshi quipped again.
Before getting ready to enter the water, Roshi glanced at the campfire next to him.
These things are supposed to be put on the table by the False God Cult, what does what they are doing here have to do with what is under the lake?
Just as he was thinking, the voice that had been lingering in Roshi's ears came to an abrupt end.
Whoop -
Roshi, who often swims in the sea, quickly captures the sound of water being dispersed as creatures swim.
Crash!
It's fast!
Behind Roshi, the quiet and pitch-black paste under the dark night flashed a trace of inconspicuous water waves, and then the water waves gradually became a little intense, and finally accelerated towards Rohi on the shore.
At the same time as Rosie turned around, the other party also came to the lake, and the black shadow flashed, and Rosie caught a faint blue color.
Sonor!
A large blue-black sword with hideous serrated teeth pierced through the surface of the lake and stabbed at Roshi...... Next to the campfire.
However, when he approached the campfire, he was blocked by a dark red barrier.
The other party is menacing, but it is not coming towards Roshi, the target is a bonfire.
The greatsword stabbed the campfire into the barrier, and cracks began to emerge in the barrier.
Suddenly, all the bonfires around the lake flickered in almost the same state, and suddenly became brighter.
The barrier was instantly restored, and the greatsword was flicked back into the lake.
"As expected, it's a cry for help." Roshi understood what the other party meant.
The contents of the lake are trapped in the lake by the barrier created by these campfires.
Before Roshi could do anything, he heard footsteps behind him.
"Do you see your cage for a period of time in the future, and the place where you will be buried?" A hoarse voice came.
Luo Xi sighed slightly: "I'm sorry that your voice is a little tormenting my hearing, don't you think your voice is a little bit ugly compared to the one in the lake?" ”
He turned and saw the appearance of the comer.
He is no longer dressed as a clumsy villager, but wears a dark red background with dark black fine lines, and a mottled sun pattern can be seen at the open collar.
That is the symbol of their religion.
The man in this costume looked as thin as a bamboo pole, with pointed eyes and a crooked nose, looking unsightly, but Roshi felt a slight danger in a human for the first time in a long time.
"You and your crew have caused us some trouble, and you've exceeded my expectations." The member of the False God Cult in front of him continued to speak in a hoarse voice.
"I thought you were just a wild hunter who had accepted a little bit of inheritance, but I didn't expect you to be a little too wild in this way."
"Anyway, I'll be complimenting you first." Roshi said.
"Your flesh is very strong, and it seems that you have absorbed the blood of a large number of savage creatures. This is very good, if you let her eat you, it must make her the most perfect firewood of the great god! ”
As he spoke, his religious uniform unbuttoned and peeled off, revealing a tomahawk on his back.
"The False God Cult Flame Bearer, Abera, will offer precious firewood for the birth of the gods!"
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the anchor crown in Roshi's hand had already flown out and pasted directly on his face.
Abera's head was a blur of flesh and blood, and the man flew upside down.
"I said that your voice is ugly, and you said that you are addicted, right?" Roshi's brows furrowed, and he said unhappily.
