Volume 2 Memories of the Past Chapter 210 Gargoyles
At the highest point of Mount Kalit, the trees that run down the ridge fade rapidly from emerald green to withered yellow.
When we reached the foot of the gentle mountain, the originally humid earth became dry and cracked, and there were only a few sparse leaves on the thick trunks, and the air was filled with a strange scorching heat, and even the color of the sky was a dull crimson.
A huge labyrinth stretches across the mountains as the only exit to the plains.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Carly stuck out her tongue and licked her chapped lips, and when she looked up at the large labyrinth that was already close at hand, she suddenly felt the urge to cry.
Her hair and face were covered with mud and dust, her clothes were full of holes, she was as embarrassed as she was, and even the weapons in her hands were full of gaps, and even the blades had begun to curl.
She is from a place called Yanxi Village, and with third-order strength, she is the deputy captain of the Yanxi Village Escort Team and the captain of this escort sacrifice.
In this world, as a woman, it is very rare to be able to advance to the third order when she is born at a disadvantage.
The strength of Yanxi Village is not too strong, and it can only survive with difficulty in this world.
"It's too hard all the way!" Carly said with a whimpering voice, when they set off, there were dozens of escorts, and at this time there were only four people left, and everyone was wounded.
The dead people, they didn't even have time to bury their corpses, they could only let the demonic beasts in the mountains and forests drag them away, these are the clansmen and robes she gets along with day and night......
"Carly, it's here. It's coming soon! A man with a vicissitudes of face said, "Send the sacrifice to the magic array in front of the Great Labyrinth, and we can go back." ”
Carly glanced at the man beside her, this was her lover Fren, who was also a senior hunter in Yanxi Village, and was the guide of this escort mission.
She didn't say anything, and glanced back at the two children in the group, a hint of unbearability flashing in her eyes.
She couldn't help but think, paying such a big price was to send "rations" to the king of monsters, what did they live for?
This sorrow will continue from generation to generation...... For a while, Carly's hatred for the King of Monsters was intense.
In front of their team in Yanxi Village, there were several teams from other villages, and their situation was not much better than their own side, and everyone was almost exhausted.
There were two teams that she could still recognize, and they were Fire Mist Village, Cuifeng Village, not far from their Yanxi Village.
"Look, what's that?" At that moment, Cali heard a frightened cry from one of the team members behind her, and she looked up to see a large group of monsters flying behind the labyrinth, numbering nearly a hundred.
"That's a gargoyle, find cover." Carly shouted.
These monsters have bat-like wings and are covered with stony skin, which makes them look like real stone statues when they squat.
Gargoyles' arms are joined together with the membranes of the wings on their backs, and their feet are unusually well developed, with a pair of thick, sharp claws, which are their main means of attack.
But this place is already very close to the Demon Plains, and the trees are so sparse that there is no shelter.
These gargoyles have strong defenses and are fast, making it difficult for hunters to hit them with arrows fired from the ground, and even if they do occasionally, it is difficult to break through their stony skin and deal effective damage.
And the convoy lacks the means of long-range attack, and is completely unable to threaten the opponent.
The team that walked in front of Yanxi Village bore the brunt, and before several teams, including Cuifeng Village, could make an effective resistance, they saw a large group of gargoyles swooping down, they were able to easily carry people into the air, and then directly tore them into pieces in the sky.
As for the heavily armed members of the convoy, their claws cannot penetrate their defenses for a moment, and several gargoyles will work together to carry them into the air, and then throw them directly from the height, throwing them to death.
"Cuifeng Village is finished!" Carly muttered that the two children they were sacrificing had been torn to pieces by the gargoyle in the first place, and that the Everywind Village, where there was no sacrifice, would soon be destroyed by the Monster King's divine punishment.
When the gargoyle appeared, the Fire Mist Village was not far from the Great Labyrinth, and all the team members tried their best to cover their hunter captain, but the number of monsters was too much, and in the blink of an eye, the people covering the Fire Mist Village had been slaughtered.
Only the man picked up the two children and rushed to the magic circle in front of the labyrinth, and in the end, the gargoyle's claws grabbed him fiercely, and the sharp grip on his muscles and bones was about to take him to the sky, and more gargoyles rushed towards him.
The man used all his strength to throw the two children into the magic circle.
With a flash of light, the figures of the two children disappeared.
The Hunter Captain of Fire Mist Village grinned, revealing his white teeth overflowing with blood, looking extremely hideous and sad.
They were in the village of fire and fog, and they were saved.
In the next moment, his body was torn to shreds by the gargoyles that followed.
"Turn around and run up the hill!" Carly shouted loudly, they were still far from the magic circle, and it was impossible to break through the nearly a hundred gargoyles to send the child to the magic circle.
Turning back and running up the hill is their only way out, the dense number can effectively resist the gargoyles from the sky, and the threat of falling gargoyles will be greatly reduced, their only attack claws will be used to walk, and when the time comes, a member of the ordinary escort team will be able to withstand the attacks of several gargoyles.
Gargoyles do not stay near the labyrinth forever, and will leave after a fruitless hunt.
They can be seen everywhere from the Great Labyrinth to Castlevania, as well as the Demon Plains in between, and there are very many of them, which is why it is impossible to directly cross the Great Labyrinth to the Demon Plains from the air.
Although the people in Yanxi Village ran back as soon as they were ordered by Carly, they underestimated the speed of the gargoyle's flight.
As the saying goes, two legs can't outrun four-legged, four-legged can't outrun with wings, and the species that fly in the sky naturally have the advantage of speed, but in a few breaths, the gargoyles catch up with them.
"It's over!" Carly was in deep despair, they were still some way from the densely wooded hillside, and they had no chance to hide in, and although there were many more trees here, they could not stop the gargoyles from diving down from the sky.
Watching the gargoyles pounce on her from the sky, Carly gave up pointless resistance, and at the last moment, she looked at her lover Fren, who hugged the man in front of her tightly.
It's all over, they'll die here, and Yanxi Village will soon be destroyed by the Monster King's divine punishment.
At this moment, Cali didn't want to think about anything, just hugged his beloved and went to death......
"Whew!"
At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking the sky suddenly sounded.
Carly turned her head to look, only to see a flaming arrow pierce into the chest of the gargoyle in front of her, then pierce the head of her companion behind it again, and finally exploded when it hit the third gargoyle, engulfing several gargoyles.
"It's so powerful!" Carly was shocked for a while, the attack power of the True Arrow was already above the fourth order, and it was a few points stronger than the village chief of their Yanxi Village.
This sudden turn of events stunned the entire group of gargoyles who were about to swoop down.
Then she saw a party of twenty people emerge from the jungle of the ridge, each riding a rock-clawed wolf, and the five children in the group were still talking and laughing as they munched on the fruit, and did not pay any attention to the terrible gargoyles.
The young man at the head rode a third-order wolf of the rockclaw wolf.
The team's relaxed posture contrasted sharply with their embarrassment, and for a moment Carly thought she was dreaming.
This still seems like a dangerous journey, this is clearly an outing.
She knew the scarface in the team, he was the captain of the hunters in Panyan Village, and once Panyan Village was short of supplies after the "sea tide", and she robbed them of Yanxi Village, she will not forget.
Could it be that it is the team of Panyan Village, is Panyan Village already strong to this extent?
Then she realized that something was wrong, there was a young man with a bow and an arrow at the front of the team, and the powerful arrow was shot by him, and this person was clearly wearing the costume of Bluewater Village.
"What's going on? Didn't you say that Lanshui Village and Panyan Village have always been against each other? She heard her lover Fren say.
Hearing this, Carly also shook her head blankly, it was obvious that neither Scarface nor the young man who was shooting arrows was the leader of this team.
It is already very obvious who the head wolf is riding.
"Xiaoyi, those flying too high in the sky can't reach me, you go and solve it." Luo Mingzhang looked at Luo Xiaoyi and said, he found that Luo Xiaoyi enjoyed the adoring eyes of her friends very much, and many dangers along the way were solved by her and Abel.
Because of this, the four children in the team no longer have the slightest sense of tension, and the little friends who finished with them killed the monsters they encountered on the road in three or two, and such things happened a lot, making it difficult for them to be afraid of these monsters or monsters.
In addition, they already knew that the brave man was going to crusade against the king of the minotaur monsters of the Great Labyrinth, and they would not be eaten by the monsters, and for a while, the atmosphere between these children was really no different from an outing, and there was no tension at all.
Hearing Luo Mingzhang's words, Xiao Nizi knew that it was time for her to show her skills again and gain a burst of worship.
"Dad, just look at me!"
Saying that, Luo Xiaoyi jumped up, and the magic equipment Tianshui Wheel appeared at her feet.
I saw the otherworldly version of Xiao Nazha, stepping on the heavenly water wheel, holding the Liquan gun, and the body turned into an afterimage and rushed to the sky gargoyle......
