Chapter 131: The Looming Darkness 3
"Roar!"
The monster was furious, grabbed the arrow, and pulled it out violently, this rough action directly aggravated its wound twice, like ink and foul-smelling liquid gushing out.
This situation made it even more furious, and the goddess in front of it had been thrown aside, and now it only had Gehr who was still in an archery posture.
At this moment, another arrow left Gehr's longbow and flew straight to the monster's head, but unfortunately this arrow rarely deviated far away, high above the spider monster's head, and crashed into the stone wall.
"It's a pity that this is a good opportunity. ”
Gehr shook his head secretly, this is not a matter of his archery skills, but because in the previous chase, he rolled in the water several times, not only soaked all over, but also made the quiver behind his back also enter the water, and the tail of the arrow stained with water was glued into a ball, so that the arrow could not move according to the established trajectory as soon as it left the string, and automatically shifted the direction, the previous time he was able to shoot this monster in the abdomen was purely lucky, you must know that the arrow Geer was also aimed at its head.
However, at this time, Gehr did not have time to study the trajectory of the arrow, and by this time the monster had already leaped towards him, and he threw his bow aside and raised Eferros, ready to face the monster's attack.
With enough space, Gehr's advantage in flexible body was fully exerted, and when the spider monster was still in mid-air, he had already judged its landing point, and stepped on the ground quickly under his feet, and in the continuous sound of water, Gehr began to move at high speed along an irregular arc.
The moment the monster hit the ground, it suddenly noticed that the tiny creature that had not only caused it pain but also teased it had suddenly disappeared. There was no trace of Gehr in sight.
At this time, it suddenly felt a pain in the back of its lower body, and the arthropods behind it had instinctively swept backwards.
Bang!
Gell used his sword to block this ferocious sweep, but the huge force directly lifted his body and flew backwards. However, he had successfully taken advantage of the monster's vacancy to accurately go around its back, and slashed Eferos directly behind the opponent's spider-shaped lower body, and then used inertia to pull it to the side, and forcibly pulled out a large hole, and a large amount of flesh and internal tissue flowed out of the wound.
The monster raised its head in pain, and its six legs danced in pain. Then staring at Gehr, there was a bitter chill in his pupils. Began to chase Gehr frantically, and multiple arthropods frantically swept at Gehr, vowing to tear the little worm that caused him pain to shreds.
Gell snorted, knowing that he still underestimated the strength of this monster. The consequence of the strong impact between his back and the stone wall was that he seemed to squeeze all the air in his belly out of the body at once. In addition to the pain in the back. For a while, the body felt like it was prostrating. However, the good thing is that he has regained his body from the state of being knocked back.
There was no time for Gehr to adjust, the monster's pursuit had arrived, and Gehr struggled to control his body. Trying to recover while dodging.
Fortunately, the space is no longer as cramped as it used to be. Without the constraints of environmental factors, Gehr was able to accurately predict the advantages of the opponent's offensive method, although the attack of the spider monster was fierce, Gehr was pressed and beaten for a while, but relying on the characteristics of flexible footsteps, there was no big problem for the time being.
As time passed, the spider monster's attacks became more and more impatient as its anger grew, but there was still no way to give Gil an effective blow other than to tear through the air.
At this time, the body structure of the spider monster that does not conform to the natural norm is a little embarrassing. Although its attack range is large, it only refers to the six arthropods on the side of its abdomen, but these arthropods are also responsible for the function of its body movement, plus the angle problem, it can only swing two arthropods at the same time at most for one direction, so although it seems that the attack is very ferocious, the attack method is very monotonous, and the effect is actually limited.
In addition, its upper body is roughly the same as that of a human, and its pair of arms that have become very hard and the sharp fingertips of the hands that extend from the tips of small scythes are very lethal at a glance, and they are flexible, so if they are used in close combat, they must be very terrible murder weapons. It's a pity that this hand structure is not suitable for holding weapons and tools at all, and now it is empty-handed, but in this way, it can be said that the most lethal "weapon" is almost half deserted, you must know that the length of its arm is more than one meter, and its arthropods are generally about two meters, plus the length of its upper body, unless a person comes to it, it is impossible to use that pair of "short hands" Attack the opponent, but once the opponent is deceived so close, it is difficult for its long arthropods to play a role, and even its own vital points will be exposed, so it is better to use the arthropods that are much less flexible than the hands to attack the opponent.
Gehr took advantage of the monster's flaws to survive the most difficult period, and when his body recovered, he began to try to launch a counterattack.
However, although the spider monster was clumsy, the advantage of attack range and speed made it difficult for Geer to break through its defensive circle without damage, and gave it a fatal blow, and the situation was stalemate for a while.
Just as the two sides were fighting, a white shadow appeared behind the monster like a ghost, jumped up, and launched a deadly attack.
None other than Carmerita.
When Gehr was dealing with the spider monster, she tried to shoot a few arrows, but due to the same problem as Gehr, each arrow was ridiculously off, and even one arrow was biased and almost hit Gehr, so she simply carefully bullied Gehr and the monster's battle circle, carefully observing the monster's every move outside the monster's line of sight, waiting for the opportunity to attack.
That's the opportunity she chose.
From Gehr's point of view, he could clearly see the goddess's every move, and when the goddess officer launched, he also roared accordingly, attracting the attention of the monster, and directly rushed into the monster's arthropod attack range.
Boom!
There was a muffled thud, and Gehr's knees bent. He slammed into the water, smashing the midpoint of one of his arthropuses into his shoulder.
Gehr suddenly felt a pain that seemed to tear him through his left shoulder, which he used to greet this arthropod, and he knew that although he avoided the tip of the monster's most threatening arthropod and the part with the most power, the opponent's strong force still caused him a lot of injuries, and the shoulder blades and musculature of his left shoulder were damaged to a certain extent.
But the price was worth it, and just as he was shouldering the monster's attack, Epheros had already struck up quickly from below, and the terrible sword light flashed, accurately hitting the joint of the arthropod that had caused him pain, for any creature. Joints have always been one of the most vulnerable places. Even this monster, which doesn't look like a natural creature at all, is no exception.
Epheros paused slightly, and then continued its trajectory, and behind it, the huge arthropod was cut off raw.
The pain of breaking the foot made the monster tremble for a while. It briefly loses its ability to judge its surroundings.
It was at this time that Carmerita's attack had arrived. The Church of Ingrid's characteristic stabbing sword glows with a cold light. Piercing through the back of the monster's head at a tricky angle, the tip of the sword poking out of its left eye.
Time seems to have stopped.
Moments later,
A terrible roar reverberated fiercely through the cavern.
The monster's sudden eruption was unprecedentedly powerful. Crazy violent shaking began.
Both Gell and Carmelita were thrown out.
Gehr, who fell into the water and supported the ground with his left hand, only felt a tingling pain in his shoulder, and knew that this was aggravating his injury, but this did not hinder his fighting ability, and as soon as his hand was strengthened, the person had already stood up again.
With a sweep of his eyes, the monster was still going on its most crazy life, but it seemed that its injuries this time were very serious, and it didn't mean to trouble Gehr and Carmerita again for a while, but its painful limbs danced wildly, frantically spinning in place and hitting the stone wall on the side, crashing the stone wall with a bang, and the rubble scattered.
Gehr turned his gaze to the direction where Carmelita was thrown away, and saw a white shadow looming in the water, not far away, the two of them were about ten meters away.
Running over quickly, I saw the goddess Guan Wei with her eyes closed, lying on her back in the water, barely sticking her head out of the water, looking shaky.
Gehr quickly lifted her out of the water. "How?"
"The right leg, it seems to be broken...... the goddess's face is not known whether it is river water or sweat, and it is wet and connected, but the voice is still cold and calm.
Gehr looked in the direction she had said, and saw that the upper part of the right leg had a noticeable irregular twist under the priest's robe, which had been soaked and somewhat transparent and clinging to the skin.
"It's a fracture, it's not a big problem, let's go first. Gehr judged the Goddess's injuries, plunged Epheros back into the scabbard behind his back, and picked her up again. Anyway, depending on the situation, this monster shouldn't pose any more of a threat to their teammates.
"Grab your torches and go join the others. Gehr picked up the torch floating on the water not far away, picked it up with his foot, caught it with his hand, and stuffed it into the hand of the goddess. These torches, soaked in specially treated animal oil, can still burn as long as they are not completely immersed in water.
"Yes. The goddess nodded forcefully and grasped the torch in her right hand.
"Captain, Miss Camerita, where are you?"
At this time, a shout mixed with the chaotic sound of water came from a distance.
It's Ida's voice.
"Over here!" Gell replied in a loud voice.
Then the sound of the water quickly stretched to Gehr's side, and in a short time the scattered firelight appeared in front of Gehr with the reflection of the man.
"What's wrong with Miss Carmerita?" Ida, who was the first to appear, saw Gel holding Carmelita and hurriedly ran over.
"I'm fine, she broke her right leg. Gehr calmly replied, "Do you have bows and arrows?"
"I've brought them all. ”
"Give me a pair. Gehr handed the goddess to one of the church's grandmothers, and took the bow and arrow that Date had handed him.
Turning, Gell pulled out an intact arrow and placed it on the string.
"That's ......" At this time, Date and his party also saw the appearance of the monster clearly, and they couldn't help but gasp.
"Prey. ”
With a squeak, the bowstring opened violently, and the black metal arrows surrounded the colorful halo under the reflection of the firelight...... (To be continued......)
