Chapter 129: The 'Great Beast' Sent by God
Fiona, who had noticed the sudden infighting among the gnomes from a distance at the edge of the mountain forest, and realized that something was wrong with him, shouted hoarsely: "The gnomes may attack us, and the sailors on the ship will immediately put away the suspension ladder."
The security guards were ready to shoot, the sailors with fire axes stood in the front row, and the unarmed men picked up branches nearby..."
The captain's decision can be said to be very timely, but unfortunately most of the people he commanded were urban youths who had never experienced wind and rain and had lived a prosperous life since childhood, and it was difficult for them to respond correctly to orders immediately when the formation was completely dispersed and their mood was relaxed.
When the natives roared like wild beasts, they rushed first to the group of young people under the giant pillar on the seashore, but not one of them picked up the burning branches in the fire and confronted the gnomes, but after a moment of daze, and saw that the gnomes were already close, they fought with their bare hands in horror.
A sturdy young man with an average height of 180 centimeters and a dwarf with a height of about 1.3 meters in height should theoretically have the same advantage as an adult beating a child.
But the reality is the opposite, the gnomes' ruthless, effective killing skills, and thick shawl bodies allow them to quickly slaughter the young people who are cowering.
On the indigenous side, apart from the desperate moment at the end, several sailors who were violent and desperate strangled two gnomes to death at the moment when they were about to lose their lives, there were no casualties.
The surface looked like a sandy beach densely covered with countless tiny razors, rubbing thousands of tiny wounds like fish scales on the exposed faces of dozens of dead young people.
The native dwarf licked the blood from the young man's skull like he had licked a chocolate cream cake just now, bared his teeth, glared angrily at the security guards and sailors who rushed to the distance and found that they couldn't be rescued at all, and slowly retreated to the edge of the woods with a grim face, revealing a hideous look.
The ferocity of the indigenous gnomes sent chills through everyone's hearts. Only Zhang Lisheng covered the sun with a blanket and muttered with interest: "It seems that in a group desperate fight, strength or volume is not the most important factor in victory.
After these natives were completely angry for the faith in their hearts, although the fangs were too short and the claws were not strong enough, they still burst out with unexpected combat power, which is even better, the more angry they are now, the greater the harvest may be when I hunt later..."
"Li Sheng, these, these natives are really cruel. Won't you save the people in the boat?"
"Tina, this is the otherworldly realm, the ghost knows if we can eat the animal and plant fruits here, the longer the stone pillar is destroyed by thermal expansion and cold contraction, the greater the possibility of success. So we're going to save food..."
"Saving food?
You, you mean watching them die..."
"Yes, I can only watch them die Tina.
I have long said that I am not an all-knowing and all-powerful God, and in the event of such a disaster, I can only guarantee the lives of myself, you, Tricy, and Celia. ”
Zhang Lisheng's words were simple and direct and irrefutable, and Tracy on the side suddenly whispered: "Li Sheng, from the perspective of human nature, your choice is right."
But this voyage was a short voyage. The Elizabeth Holiday simply doesn't have enough fuel to keep the ship's cold storage open for a long time, so even if all the people on board die, the food can't be kept for long because of the temperature.
In this way, it is actually better for us to survive by allowing more people to live. ”
As the girl spoke, the gnomes were already grinning and began to attack the earthlings standing at the edge of the woods, with the deafening sound of spear fire. Advanced thermal weapons are beginning to show their deadly power on the islands of the otherworldly realm.
The native's tough flesh was hit by a spear, and while it didn't cause a horrific laceration, it was easily pierced, and it was easy to aim at close range. Almost every shot fired by the ship's guards took the life of a native.
As for the sailors who picked up the long-handled fire axes, although their attacks were not as powerful as the gun-wielding security guards, the sharp axes that could cut through thick steel bars could cut through the bodies of the natives as effortlessly as a dinner knife cut butter, and with the help of powerful weapons, in the initial melee, the humans had the upper hand for a while.
It's a pity that there are only a few dozen security guards and sailors with weapons, and the number of dwarfs is limited compared to hundreds after all, and the natives who are gradually fierce and unafraid of death have regained their disadvantage.
And just when the human beings under the ship were in a desperate situation, Zhang Lisheng sat on the deck and thought about it, and suddenly stood up.
He draped the blanket over his body and whispered to the three girls beside him, "I'll tell you again, it's better to cover your eyes if you're afraid." His lips squirmed slightly.
A few seconds later, on the bloody battlefield on the edge of the mountain forest, several natives who bent their bodies like ordinary hunting, and swayed left and right with agility, suddenly stiffened, and then the flesh and blood seemed to be emptied by an invisible force and collapsed to the ground inexplicably, turning into withered skins.
Immediately afterward, several more gnomes suddenly cracked huge wounds on their backs, revealing even their muscle-wrapped vertebrae and pink internal organs, and they fell to the ground and struggled a few times before moving.
And in the blood sprayed behind them, a long, slender monitor lizard took shape, opened its mouth wide and hissed, and pounced on several other gnomes not far away.
At the same time, as if to meet the roar of this terrifying beast, a deafening and huge 'snoring...", resounded in the sea.
The once calm sea suddenly became rough.
In the waves, a giant crocodile with a body length of forty or fifty meters and a size comparable to a large yacht slowly poked its head out, slid its limbs, and climbed ashore at a speed that seemed to be slow, but in fact extremely fast, and squinted towards the dwarf on the edge of the mountain and forest.
Caught off guard, the giant crocodile tore dozens of natives into pieces of meat all over the ground with a single charge.
"Then, is that a crocodile, look at the mouth, Li Sheng's big crocodile is, is it your new, new 'pet'?" Watching the giant crocodile unite with the island dragon to hunt and swallow hundreds of dwarfs into her stomach in three or two minutes, Tina opened her mouth and pointed at the crocodile and asked in a dry voice.
"Yes. Zhang Lisheng, who felt that the magic power in his flesh and blood had not gained in the slightest, nodded, and suddenly looked at the red-haired girl beside him, "Trisy, what did you say about a devout believer who was suddenly killed by a monster when he was guarding his faith, but he didn't have any negative emotions of anger and fear?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Truly devout believers do not feel anger or fear when they sacrifice themselves for God. ”
"I see. Zhang Lisheng nodded suddenly, driving the monitor lizard to hide again, and the crocodile dragon used its thick tail more than ten meters long to break countless trees on the side of the mountain forest, and then slowly climbed into the sea and sank to the bottom.
The people under the boat, who were rescued by two sudden giant beasts, were frightened and silent, and it was a long time before someone let out a meaningless "ah, ah..." sound from their mouths and collapsed to the ground.
At this time, the old captain, who finally breathed his breath, suddenly shouted: "We are saved, those two giant beasts killed all the gnomes, but did not harm any of us, and helped us break countless trees, which shows that they are God's messengers to save us."
God is always with us, He is watching over us, and He will help us to return to the civilized world, to New York!
Cheer up young people, let us forget the sadness and fear of losing a friend for a while, and get back to work.
Harry, take a few sailors and cremate our fellow men who were killed by the natives under the stone pillars, wash their faces and hands, and leave their coats as a memento, so that they can watch the totems of the evil gnomes fall clean in the sky..."
On the deck of the Elizabeth's Holiday, Zhang Lisheng was muttering to himself, "I think they should know how terrible the unknown is by now." He held up the blanket with his hands to cover the sun and sat down again.
"That, those two monsters, that, the big crocodile, yes, yes..." It was only then that Xie Liya on the side finally came back to her senses, pointed at Zhang Lisheng in a trance, and said intermittently as if she couldn't breathe.
"Whisper to Shelia," covering her close friend's mouth and lowering her voice, "After seeing it with your own eyes, now you know that Tricy and I must be pulling you and Li Sheng to stay together." ”
"But, but is this the strength that a human can have, to control that kind of behemoth, hell, I see that they have swallowed hundreds of dwarfs and only eaten five or six points full...", Helia said incoherently.
"Superman can also fly into the universe and smash the planet that rushes to the earth, Li Sheng is the kind of 'superhero' whose personality looks a little cold and conceited, just like Iron Man, but he is actually very kind. Tina herself said without much confidence.
"Oh, yes, that means that even if we really can't go back to New York, with him we can at least catch a bunch of native gnomes and be a tribal chief or something.
I can't wear a summer dress designed by Latinmore anymore, and I can't eat the grilled veal at Comerton's Restaurant, but I won't be grilled as a steak by the natives..."
"Don't talk about Shelia, I don't want to stay on this hellish desert island for the rest of my life, we can definitely go back, we will definitely be able to go back to New York, do you say yes?"
"If we follow the original voyage, we should be able to go back, don't worry Tina, maybe in a few dozen hours, you will be lying at home and reminiscing about the thrilling journey now. Zhang Lisheng casually comforted the girl.
Saying this, in fact, he was not at all sure that the 'Elizabeth Holiday' would return to New York by using the method of returning along the route, and looking at the crowd that had regained his strength with the encouragement of the captain and continued to carry firewood, Zhang Lisheng sighed quietly and began to tear the meal cloth into long strips of cloth again.
