272. Hell Monks
Snow-white moonlight and bright yellow bonfires.
The top of the Rubik's Cube protrudes outwards with a trapezoidal section, and then the trapezoidal block rotates counterclockwise forty-five degrees, making a clicking sound, like some kind of precision instrument in motion, which rotates and rejoins with the original part to form an irregularly shaped polyhedron.
Then bulge, rotate, chime... Repeatedly, the Rubik's Cube returned to its prototype, and this strange change in just one second seemed to have never happened.
But a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in Santanica's heart, that is, she was still revered by the ancient tribe as the goddess of the night, and she was born after receiving countless sacrifices of flowers and gems, and she had never gone wrong for hundreds of years.
Santanica grabbed the Rubik's Cube and threw it into a flower bed away from the crowd, like a grenade with a pull ring removed.
But it was too late, and suddenly countless thin cracks cracked on the six planes of the Rubik's Cube like cracked walls, and wisps of scorching white arcs shot out from the cracks, projecting through the flowers to the campfire, and then an eerie wind blew on the flat ground, blowing a dense white mist from the cold night around them.
As soon as the fog rose, Dean, who was listening to the song, jumped his eyelids, sensed that the situation was wrong, and instantly activated his telekinesis to roll up his unknown companions around him, and flew them to the desolate and dead road a mile away from the motel in one breath, but there was no effect, the fog actually moved over, becoming denser and denser, obscuring the clouds and moonlight, and the visibility decreased rapidly.
"Guys, can anyone explain what's going on?" Scott hunched his knees in front of Katie and flattened the can in his hand, "We're not roasting meat, drinking and singing, why did we suddenly get into the fog?" ”
"Be careful, something supernatural is eyeing us." Dean summoned the life shield, the telekinesis to protect everyone, and at the same time took out the restored weapons in the space and surrounded him, and the changes in the dense fog were spied from God's perspective, but unfortunately there seemed to be some mysterious power hidden inside, isolating perception and blocking the space.
"I'm sorry, I accidentally opened Seth's Rubik's Cube, and it caused this series of changes," Santanica popped out her fangs, staring nervously into the depths of the mist, "I don't understand what the hell this is." ”
"Damn, that's not mine, that's from Dean, I haven't figured it out for half a month, and you made such a big move as soon as you came!" Seth and the others transformed into a snake demon,
I gave it to him?
Dean stared at him, and instantly realized that it was one of the antiques he had harvested after cleaning up the first strip club, and he didn't feel anything unusual at the time, didn't he think that there was a supernatural object hidden in it?
Without thinking too much about it, a small arc of electricity surged out of the fog, and the arc jumped and twisted to outline the silhouettes of the two humanoid creatures in midair, and they walked slowly with heavy footsteps.
The shape changes from a hazy and transparent dotted line to a clear and strong entity.
They wore cool black tight-fitting leather suits, revealing their graceful figures, pale as the skin of a dead man, and the place of their abdomen was stretched open by metal wire, and the hair on the rest of their body parts was replaced by metal wire.
There was no nose on their faces, or rather their noses and foreheads were fused together and bulging outward like half moons, their eyes were sewn up with metal thread, they were bloodstained, their lips were painted black, and the top of their heads was bare, leaving only a high, upturned wire in the center.
The strange outfits and terrifying looks of the two of them were carved out of the same mold, like a pair of deformed twins.
It exudes a strange and terrifying charm.
And under Dean's life perspective, their life energy is actually not the white of normal creatures, but blood red, about level 4 strength, surging like a river of blood, and at the same time radiating a disgusting stench of rotting corpses.
……
Tata...
Footsteps rang out behind the crowd, followed by three pale-skinned, black, tight-clad humanoids.
A rusty and bloody handsaw was inserted into the door of the center's head, separating the skin, flesh, and skull on top of his head, revealing a white brain, and the blood and brains flowed down the huddled facial features, falling to the ground, smoking and corroding holes.
On the left, the whole body is wrapped with barbed wire with nails, and all around it is a tender red opening like a baby's mouth, but his facial features are unusually delicate and tearful, and his mouth emits a painful and happy wail, as if he is suffering from some kind of stimulus.
The one on the right has a big belly, no wounds can be seen on his body, but his whole face is like a melting candle and has no facial features, and his bloated belly is inlaid with an abyssal mouth, and the triangular jagged teeth of the mouth are flashing with the cold light of metal, and there is a clicking sound between opening and closing.
The curiosity and horror of these three images are better than those of the twins.
When they come into the eyes of everyone, they drill straight into their minds, as if they want to be engraved into their genes and souls.
Even if they close their eyes, the monsters will emerge from their sleep, creating endless nightmares and torment.
……
The basilisons themselves were monsters, but they had never seen such a terrifying existence, and their scaly faces stiffened with extreme horror.
Katie trembled uncontrollably.
Only Aiden groped his chin with an interested expression.
"Guys, who are you, why didn't you come uninvited?" Dean spoke in as calm a tone as possible, and the God's perspective quietly locked on the five-headed monster, calculating the distance between them, ready to launch the illusionary abyss that enveloped the ten-meter range at any time.
"We are the defenders of order, the scarred ascetics, the messengers of hell in the eyes of some, the angels of the gospel in the eyes of others," the misshapen twins spoke at the same time, making a crisp and sweet voice, and slowly approached the Queen of the Night with cat steps.
Restorers, penceas, hellbringers, angels?
What is this?
Di An'an thought about the electric turn, and the only thing that can be determined now is that these monsters are most likely not the existence of the earth world.
There was no murderous intent in their eyes, just staring at the Queen of the Night, like staring at a peerless treasure.
There seems to be a strange order and principle hidden in them.
Dean continued to ask,
"Why are you here?"
Candleface turned to the Queen of the Night, and a hoarse and low male voice came from the large mouth on her belly, "Ma'am, you have opened the mourning box and summoned us. ”
"The box of mourning?"
"That's a gift from fate to some people, that's the key to order."
"This is a misunderstanding, I didn't know that box could summon you!" The queen flapped her wings behind her, shielding the three-headed monster from glancing, "We have no intention of disturbing your sleep. ”
"As an apology, we invite you to eat barbecue and eat and drink to your heart's content, can you return to the mourning box the same way you came?" Seth jokingly picked up the kebab on the ground and threw it at the big fat man behind him.
Click.
The abyssal giant swallowed the barbecue with an iron skewer into his stomach and chewed it a few times.
"No, no, no, it's not that simple, the people who can open the box are special people. And our actions never fail," the saw head rolled at the queen with wet eyes, and a row of teeth staggered left and right, getting closer and closer, the space around him seemed to fold, reflecting a shrunken afterimage, "You summoned us, and you will leave with us." ”
"Where?"
"Hell, heaven... Experience the good ordeal, listen to the voices of mourning, and end your chaotic life. The barbed wire man with a delicate face touched his chest emotionally, and a flush of intoxication appeared on his face, "We can feel the pain of your hundreds of years of captivity, seeing strange travelers being killed, bleeding rivers, sacrificed to the wanderers in the starry sky... You are helpless, your soul and heart are groaning, and suffering has carved a pattern of loneliness in you, which no one appreciates for hundreds of years. ”
The Queen's face changed drastically, and these monsters could read her memories?
"Come on, we're your kind." The five monsters walked towards the Queen of the Night at the same time, and five sweet, low, and hoarse voices sounded at the same time, like a call from the depths of hell, and a strange song from the mysterious world, like the sound of a razor shaving flesh and bones, with a cruel tenderness,
"Let's go into the depths of the soul and see true beauty and order."
The words were filled with unimaginable fear, causing every scale on the queen's body to roll tremblingly, and a snake letter hissing out of her mouth, "If I can't say it!" ”
"Then we can only ask you to go back." The twins' hands stretched out in mid-air like chicken claws, tracing the curves of the queen's graceful body, and continued to move forward, "There will be countless surprises waiting for you in the process!" ”
The twins continued to move a few steps closer, and their steps suddenly clicked, clicking, turning their heads rigidly like a machine, and their wire-stitched eyes turned to Dean,
"Wait, I smell the breath of my lord's mortal enemy!"
Brush Brush –
In an instant, all five monsters turned their faces to Dean,
"You're the patron of Baphsei?"
Mortal enemy?
Bafu extinguished?!
Dean looked awe-struck, and decisively launched his skill against the five-headed monster that stepped into the range - the Illusion Abyss!
In an instant, a hidden wave erupted from around Dean's body, spreading to all sides.
The queen and the others who were close at hand just felt a breeze blowing, and their expressions were in a trance, and the real target of the skill, the five deformed people who were originally slowly surrounding them, were stunned as if they had been struck by lightning.
A monstrous tide surged through the five twisted bodies, and the power of the Phantom Serpent could not contain it, tearing apart their cold hearts and steel-solid souls.
In the cracked holes, the memories sealed in the depths, the sad and painful experiences of human times, the despair of torture in hell rushed out, and the black ocean wrapped their bodies.
Keep repeating in front of your eyes, it's hard to distinguish between the real and the fake.
Five humanoid monsters sink and fall in the illusion.
Puff puff!
The humanoid monster with a saw on its head automatically sliced down, slicing open its brain, splitting its entire skull in two, hanging to its sides like a peeled potato, splashing blood staining its leather coat and the ground beneath its feet.
It screamed and screamed in pain.
The steel teeth in the abyssal maw of Candleface's abdomen were broken off one by one, and then plunged into its blank cheeks as white as dough one by one, and the tongue in his mouth was pulled out by an invisible force, wrapping up around his belly like hemp rope.
The barbed wire skin was pulled out inch by inch, and waves of blood gushed out...
The twins stood shoulder to shoulder with their heads down, trembling as if in a daymare.
…
The first time I used it, the effect of the Illusion Abyss was so good that Dean didn't expect, this group of monsters with evil shapes were trapped without the power to resist, and three of them obviously couldn't hold out for long, and they were not far from death!
The opportunity is rare, Dean ignored the surprised eyes of everyone around him, and took the opportunity to attack!
The shadow expands the weakened realm.
Behind him, the wing-like swirling group of weapons rippled in mid-air, forming a spear that shimmered with electric light, ascended into the sky, and suddenly fell, piercing through the fog with inertia, stabbing the twin sisters with great speed, and bursting into a large field of dazzling sparks.
But a blood-red invisible force field blocked the tip of the spear.
The attack didn't work!
The twins woke up to the sharp and shakings on the surface of their skin, and saw their companions lose control, and the two sisters screamed angrily at the same time, so loud and piercing that they were like the wails of a banshee, and the earth shook violently, and the fog rolled up with a bone-cold wind, and everyone had to cover their ears to resist the terrible sound.
And the three-headed deformed man who was about to be killed by Nightmare was shocked by the sound, and suddenly trembled and broke free from the terrifying abyss of illusion, and the blood-colored life energy on his skin surged, and his body that was almost cut in half, skinned, and charred instantly returned to its original state.
The next second.
The five deformities unleashed a series of strange attacks:
The abyssal maw of Candleface's abdomen erupted a large expanse of sharp steel teeth dripping with green venom, whirring through the air, striking the Queen's shield-like wing-like membrane-like wings, corroding them into holes.
The head of the handsaw took off the handsaw above his head and threw it far away, and the bloody handsaw swept through the air and rotated three hundred and sixty degrees, turning bigger and bigger, turning into a half-story tall in the blink of an eye, shooting into the open space where Lena and Gonzalez were, and pulling the ground into a furrow of dozens of meters of powder burning with sulfur.
And the twin sisters spit out two incomparably long black tongues from their mouths, wrapped around Seth and Scott's scaly right arm, corroded a pungent green smoke, and pulled them slowly towards themselves!
The delicate man took off the iron wire wrapped in flesh and skin, crackled, and whipped it towards everyone like a whip, and every iron nail on the wire screen suddenly came to life, and the sharp tip cracked the jagged mouth, tearing the air like a lamprey, and pounced on Katie, but was crumpled by an invisible telekinesis and thrown back.
……
The fog behind the ascetic group resounded with the sound of clanging and clashing, and countless chains flew out of the depths of the mist, with sharp iron hooks on the tops, blood and minced flesh remaining, and pounced on everyone like countless black tentacles with sharp teeth.
The crowd was surrounded by enemies, in front of them, on their sides, and even overhead, and they were in a desperate situation.
They simply don't have the slightest confidence to withstand these strange attacks!
Dean suddenly stretched out his hand towards the penance.
The Underworld Calls!
Tear pull.
An oval-shaped opening suddenly tore open in this mist-like space, and the breath of death, decay, and white bones blew outward, and chains inlaid with skull runes shot out, passing through the air for tens of meters, and entangled the five-headed deformed man.
The madness, evil, and distortion on their faces all vanished at this moment, and the irrepressible coldness and stiffness enveloped their bodies.
Their flesh was torn apart by the skull chains in an instant, revealing the white bones of the forest, and the souls surrounded by blood light were forcibly pulled out of their bodies, slowly leaning towards the gate of the underworld in mid-air.
Dean moved—
Bang!
The jacket exploded into debris, and the body rose to 1.9 meters, revealing the terrifying muscles of the red bulge, and the platinum flame plate armor swirled around the plate armor, and dozens of spears, hand axes, and arrows swirled around the plate armor, like star spots dotted among the sun.
And under the pressure of his powerful momentum and power, the air behind him formed countless miniature whirlpools, sucking dust in mid-air, and crawling under his bent knees.
Zizi...
Two large holes cracked in the ground beneath his feet.
Dean soared into the air and pounced on the five deformed people who had been immobilized like missiles, countless sharp iron hooks wrapped around his body like waves along the way, and Ping Pong was bounced off without causing any damage.
His swollen right fist was pointed at the round, ugly head.
The power of the body, the life energy, and the power of the mind fused in the fist, blooming with dazzling brilliance, shattering the bright red force field around the candle face.
Die!
Bang!
Seventy tons of force tore the road into a huge hole more than thirty meters in diameter, covered with cobweb-like cracks, steaming blood.
The candle-faced body and soul in the hole were annihilated by this punch, leaving only a shallow pool of blood.
You have killed Hellmonk Candleface, Mastery +8, Nature Hunter activates, drain 0.2 Spirit, 0.5 Perception.
……
Brush –
Dean turned to look at the ugly deformed man next to him who had been stripped of his skin, and lightning flew and threw a second punch.
The fist burst through the air and screamed, crushing the deformed flesh.
Killed Hellmonk Barbed Wire, gaining +7 Mastery, +0.1 Spirit, and +0.3 Agility
Third punch.
Killed the Saw Head, gain +8 Mastery, +0.2 Spirit, and +0.3 Perception.
……
Just one second.
The blurred world erupted into five short, intense spatial roars.
The earth trembled, and the fog rolled up in the stormy waves!
A second later.
Dean landed lightly, and his bright red and swollen muscles quietly shrank to their normal circumference, without a drop of blood or sweat.
And the ground behind him had five more pools of thin flesh and blood.
In the thick fog, a small and delicate Rubik's Cube was suspended in the air, cracking open on all six sides, blooming into endless arcs of electricity, sucking away the scattered residues of the five monks, the dense fog that obscured the sky and the sun, and the endless iron hooks.
The Rubik's Cube reverted to dead silence and fell to the ground motionless.
The silence was quiet, and the moonlight shone through the cracks in the clouds, illuminating the road that had collapsed like a magnitude 7 earthquake, and the terrible depressions and potholes told the story of what had happened before.
Dean changed into a new shirt and jeans to collect a few tubes of strange blood into the space, picked up the delicate and small Rubik's Cube, carefully examined its pattern, and then put it into the space.
"Box of mourning, Hellfriar..."
He looked at another prompt:
Fighting LV4 (460→490/500)
Strength: 20→20.5
Sensitivity: 19→19.5
Perception: 18.5→19
Spirit: 22.8→23.5
……
"Dean, what the hell are these monsters?" The queen surrounded the bastic demon with a group of basilis, and the whole battle lasted less than a minute, and the basilisk was only slightly injured, and there was no major problem.
"They're called Hell Monks, a group of evil beings from another world, but don't worry, they've been eliminated by me."
Seth asked, "Why did they attack us?" ”
"They are the opposite of most living creatures, they love to torture humans, and they are our enemies. In the future, if you encounter it, you must be careful, especially when you see this kind of box, do not touch it. Dean looked at everyone and strode back, "Let's go, hurry up, go back and pack your things, and then discuss it." ”
Professor Aiden groped his chin, looked at the people with blank faces, sighed and shook his head, "There is a high probability that tonight's attack is because of the supernatural convergence law in your mouth, so many of our snake demons have been gathered together for too long, so they attracted this group of monsters and were attacked by them. Guys, for the sake of safety, we're going to have to separate right now. ”
