Chapter 4: The Lake of Mist
Chapter 4: The Lake of Mist
The snake and scorpion stood at the bow of the ship, his back to everyone, his gaze looking ahead as the ghost ship moved forward with its steady speed. It was so foggy that I could barely see my fingers, so no one knew how many people there were on the ghost ship now.
"Little brother......" Behind Han Ling, some familiar and unfamiliar voices sounded, it was one of the people who had just boarded the ship with Han Ling with the recoiling force of the explosion.
"It's you. ”
"My name is Yu Jing, I don't know if you are interested in cooperating. ”
"Cooperation?"
"You can't do without a group anywhere, even if it's such a utilitarian test. ”
"You all took the initiative to take part in this test?"
"Naturally, if you can pass the test, you can get the permission to enter and exit the Holy Beast Empire freely, you must know that it is now in the period of war, what does it mean to be able to enter and exit freely, it is a lot of economic benefits for us!"
"War!?"
"Don't you really know anything? Now that the Holy Beast Empire has attacked the Wasteland Territory on a large scale, not only us merchants, but even the three major city lords of the Wasteland County have sent people over. ”
"The Three Great City Lords!?"
When Han Ling was surprised, the speed of the ship began to slow down. Beneath the surface, uneasiness began to surge, and countless black shadows swam towards the ghost ship.
"It's impossible for the three major city lords to send people over to the Holy Beast Empire not to know. ”
"I think I know, but for some reason, it seems that I accepted them to participate in this test......"
Just as the two were talking, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, and with it was the cold voice of the snake and scorpion: "Among you, only thirty of you will survive, and all you have to do is ...... Stay alive. ”
Thirty people, that may sound like a lot, but how many people were there on board!? But the question was quickly forgotten.
Several black shadows shot out of the water, stayed in the air for a moment, and then spread their huge wings and swooped down, but due to the hazy fog, it was impossible for the people on the boat to see the movements of these strange creatures clearly, most of them only watched the black shadows pass towards them, and then their bodies floated, and then a sharp pain came from their necks, and they soon lost consciousness, so fast that they didn't even have time to scream.
The people on the boat only saw the dark shadows passing by, and then there were fewer people, and finally all they could hear was the sound of falling water.
The pop continued, and soon the people on board knew what was happening, and as soon as they realized the arrival of the terrible creature, a dark shadow swept towards them.
"What the hell is this!?" Han Ling said as he punched away the black shadow that was rushing towards him. Although he dodged the black shadow's attack this time, the punch just now did not cause any damage to the black shadow.
"It's a water monster. Yu Jing said with a solemn face, "Those are among the most difficult beasts in the Holy Beast Empire, but they only live in the Lake of Mist. ”
"So we're in the Lake of Mists now. ”
"You can't go wrong, such a huge number. Another point is that the stronger you are, the more water monsters will find you, because almost all the Immortal Beasts of the Holy Beast Empire are the same, they worship force and are very strong. Alright, little brother, I'm going back to my team, if you're willing to cooperate, come along. ”
"Good. Han Ling was not pretentious, and immediately followed Yu Jing, after all, he was very unfamiliar with everything in the Holy Beast Empire, and having a small team was beneficial and harmless to him.
"By the way, Brother Yu Jing, I felt very strange when I attacked the water monster just now, my attack obviously hit it, but it seems to have missed. ”
"Water monsters live in water all year round, and their skin is so smooth that they can move at full speed in the water without causing a single streak, so your attack will naturally be slid through as soon as the monster shakes its body. ”
"And how do you deal with this!?" Even the heavy punches with the power of the wind and the netherworld can dodge, and those sharp attacks are even harder to hit.
"I don't know much about the water monsters, and as far as I know, their attacks rely on claws and sharp teeth, and if you dodge them, you'll be fine. ”
In fact, the monster's weakness lies in its wings, but when the monster swoops down, its wings are retracted, and when it captures its target, it pops out with its thick and powerful legs, so that few people know about the wings, and the fog of the Lake of Mists also provides excellent cover for the monster.
At this time, the hat snake and scorpion looked at the remaining humans on the ship with cold eyes, and he didn't even look at the humans who were caught, because they were either killed in mid-air or taken into the lake, but no matter what, they couldn't escape the fate of death in the end.
The ghost ship had stopped, and the surrounding lake was stained scarlet.
Huhuhu-
The five water monsters rushed out of the lake, and after a brief pause in the air, they folded their wings and shot at the ghost ship one after another, but their target was the same person, the not-so-strong figure running after a man.
"Little brother Han Xuan, we're almost there, but it's strange that there are no water monsters to raid along the way. "Since he wants to join the other party, the name of the notification is certain, but Han Ling did not tell Yu Jing his real name, after all, he can be regarded as a celebrity in the Wild Northern Region anyway.
"The calm before the storm. As soon as the words fell, a storm came, and a water monster swooped down, its claws grabbing straight at Han Ling's back.
"Be careful!" The water monster rushed towards Han Ling, but Han Ling reminded him loudly, because the water monster swooped at an extremely tricky angle, after Han Ling dodged, the sharp claws would grab Yu Jing.
Under Han Ling's reminder, Yu Jing quickly reacted, and almost as soon as Han Ling dodged, he took action.
But before Han Ling could breathe a sigh of relief, two black shadows descended. Han Ling's movements were almost changed in mid-air, and these two figures attacking him completely calculated Han Ling's possible movement trajectory.
In Yu Jing's eyes, Han Ling was in a pose that was difficult for ordinary people to make, and the surprise attack of the two water monsters undoubtedly failed, but the attack did not end there.
When the black shadow in the air reappeared, Han Ling felt that time had stopped for a short time, and the interval between each attack of the water monster was less than half a second, and when Yu Jing had only reacted from the three consecutive attacks, the fourth time had already arrived.
Yu Jing tried to condense the power of the Netherworld to help Han Ling, but before the Netherworld Power could gush out, he was stopped by himself. He hesitated, Han Ling was only besieged after an attack on the water monster, and Yu Jing didn't think that he could do better than Han Ling, even if he had a small team.
At this time, Han Ling was not the only one who was besieged by many water monsters, because the number of human beings was decreasing, but there were no water monsters, and the more you went back, the more difficult it was to survive.
Yu Jing gave up, but Han Ling threw a punch, but the direction was not towards the attacking water monster.
Boom!
Han Ling's body trembled again, and he used the power of the Netherworld twice in a row to forcibly change the movement trend of his body, Han Ling's body caused a great load, and the endless attack of the water monster also made Han Ling angry.
The fourth water monster swept by, raised its head and tried to bite off Han Ling's arm, but what was waiting for him was a dark rainbow of light.
Poof!
Tsk -
A shrill cry echoed throughout the ghost ship, and a bloody hole appeared in the fourth monster's skull, from which green blood continued to pour out. The monster hit the ground and bounced up again without hesitation, but it wasn't strong enough for it to fly back into the lake.
The shouts drew many people, and when they cast their gaze, their eyes were filled with horror. I saw a terrifying-looking monster spread its wings and fly unsteadily into the air.
The hat snake scorpion couldn't help but cast its gaze and landed on Han Ling, but then, the hat snake and scorpion shook its head, a hint of disappointment appeared, and then it took its gaze back.
"What's that!?The monster that attacked us has wings!?"
And just when everyone's eyes were attracted by this sudden change, Han Ling felt a strong wind behind him, and there was a chill behind him, and then a sharp pain came, and then Han Ling felt that he was getting farther and farther away from the ground.
At this time, its claws pierced deep into Han Ling's back, lifting him into the air, and the Netherworld Power protection on Han Ling's body was unable to resist this blow at all.
"Brother Han Xuan!" Although Yu Jing didn't choose to help Han Ling just now, Han Ling being captured was something he didn't want to see.
Han Ling couldn't help but shudder all over, and then instinctively swung his right elbow and crashed into the water monster!
Poof!
As soon as his elbow was swung out, he was bitten by the water monster, but if Han Ling didn't do this, then the sharp teeth of the water monster would bite his neck.
"Ahh
"Damn!" Han Ling endured the pain, and on the tips of his left fingers, the dark pattern condensed.
Naturally, this behavior could not escape the attention of the water monster, and I saw the water monster twist its body and flung its tail towards Han Ling.
Boom!
The power of the tail was not weak at all, and Han Ling shot towards the scarlet water at great speed under this volley.
Naturally, no one would see the scene of Han Ling's struggle, and when he was caught by the water monster, everyone who saw it regarded Han Ling as a dead man.
Poof!
The sound of falling water again, but at this time it could no longer attract the attention of those who were still on board. Not only that, but the ship was surprisingly quiet at this time, and everyone held their breath, ready to defend against the attack of the water monster at any time.
In the water, Han Ling's eyes were blood-red, and around him, the bodies of several people who had lost their lives were slowly sinking to the bottom of the water.
"I can't die here!" Han Ling paddled hard and swam towards the surface, but he stopped after only a few strokes.
"These monsters are more terrifying in the water than on the shore, and they will never let me go so easily. Han Ling thought about it, the attack of the ordinary Netherworld Power couldn't help these water monsters at all, and the consumption of the Six Fingers Duel was too great to be used all the time.
"It can't be helped. ”
On the ghost ship, the hat snake and scorpion looked solemnly at the several squads on the board, and they cooperated with each other to make the water monster not so easy to manage.
As long as there are more than thirty people alive, the attack of the water monster will not stop, but at this time there are only thirty people on the ship. And this situation has been maintained for several minutes, is there still anyone who fell into the water?
Poof!
The sound of water sounded like something was rushing out of the lake, but the sound made everyone nervous.
Tsk -
The chirp came, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the direction where the cry came from.
But in the end, what they waited for was not the attack of the water monster, but a falling figure covered in blood. It was a young man, not a tall body, a slightly green and somewhat handsome face, and a somewhat embarrassed but calm look, all of which combined to give an extremely shocking impact to all the people on the ship. And when he landed on the boat on tiptoe, everyone felt the silence around him.
Because, the attack of the water monster stopped
