Chapter 140: The Collapsed Situation
The old fishing boat crashed into a giant mossy tree, and the broken wreckage scattered in the wind and rain, and the people on board were not spared.
Tang Tuan's hands instinctively covered his head, and he fell from mid-air in a daze, and his mind still irrepressibly recalled the terrifying picture that flashed in front of him just now.
Before, when he turned his head to look in the direction where the loud noise was coming from, a shadow suddenly appeared under the fishing boat under his feet, but in the blink of an eye, they even led the boat into the sky.
Luckily, he was not hit by the debris of the fishing boat or the roots of the trees on the sea, but smashed into the sea in a daze.
Although the seawater slowed down the momentum, because of his own weight, Tang Tuan was still forced to plunge into a depth of several meters from the sea.
Tang Tuan, who often sailed on the sea, was naturally not much worse in water, and he felt that he was not injured, and when he fell into the sea, he immediately opened his eyes and tried to distinguish the direction.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a large, pale white blurred figure wriggling in the deep water where the roots of the trees were entwined, and in the shadow to the left, there were two scarlet balls of light that released a breathtaking ferocity.
Fear that was colder than the sea around him clenched Tang Tuan's heart, and he didn't dare to look down anymore, but just raised his head, paddling his limbs together, and desperately floated to the surface of the sea.
The moment he burst out of the water, the cacophony flooded into his ears in an irresistible manner, and anxious shouts, painful wails, and angry roars converged.
The line of sight unconsciously looked around, the fleet that rushed to the core area of Shuosen Island a few minutes ago has now lost most of it, except for the few official ships that have been under heavy protection, there are a large number of ship wrecks scattered around, and the demon hunters who were originally on the ship have fallen into the water, and many of them were injured in the battle just now, and the blood stained the sea red, and spread out in the undulating waves.
"Tang Tuan!
Hearing someone calling his name, Tang Tuan hurriedly turned his head to look, and at a glance saw the young man who was approaching the root of a nearby tree and waving to his side at the same time, and he continued to shout with a panicked face after seeing his gaze,
"Run, behind you, come here!!"
Behind?
As soon as the thought came to him, Tang Tuan felt the thrust of the sea tide behind him, pushing his body forward.
"Help...... Youkai...... Help!"
Someone exclaimed behind him, Tang Tuan, who realized what was happening, didn't dare to look back, just buried his head and swam forward, and after a while, he reached the edge of the root, and at this time the young man had already climbed the root, bent down and stretched out his hand, and next to him was still sitting or slumped down with a pale face Xiaohui.
Tang Tuan was about to reach out to shake the young man's hand, who would have thought that when the two hands were about to be put together, he suddenly withdrew his hand, not only that, but also retracted backwards.
"Tang Gang, you ......"
In a hurry, Tang Tuan opened his mouth to scold, but he choked in his mouth again halfway through his words, because he felt the surging tide behind him, and suddenly turned around, only to see a snake body several meters high, like a wall blocking in front of him......
The next second, the back of the neck was grabbed by two hands, and the whole person rose from the water and landed on the root of the tree.
Hurriedly hugging the roots of the tree, Tang Tuan looked blankly at the body of the snake demon that had not yet dived in front of him...... No, it's not that it didn't dive, it's that it's too big, it's just a part of it floating on the surface!
On the shore where the fleet of nearly 100 meters was, more than a dozen huge snake bodies were constantly coiling and wriggling, but its head was never visible, and only a huge black shadow could be faintly seen swimming in the water, forming a whirlpool, sucking those who had no time to escape into the sea.
"Sweet and sour fish, you ...... You're right, we shouldn't get involved in this...... Is this a snake?"
The young man called Tang Gang by Tang Tuan leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, and the weapon in his hand had long since disappeared, just staring at the scene in front of him in a daze, and finally only weakly burst into foul language, trying to relieve the fear in his heart.
"What now, I'm afraid that our people together are not enough for this snake to swallow in one bite, and our boat is gone, how will we go back later?"
As far away from the snake demon in front of him as possible, Xiao Hui stretched out his hand and put his hand on Tang Tuan's shoulder, and asked with a trembling voice.
"Don't forget that there are also people from the government, they will definitely make a move, you see, isn't it already done over there, this snake demon seems to have many wounds on its body, and we may not necessarily lose. ”
Tang Tuan, who was a little calm, also noticed the abnormality on this snake demon's body at this time, just the body suspended on the surface of the sea was scarred, and even the scales in several places had been peeled off, leaving only a disgusting blur of flesh and blood.
......
"That guy didn't lie to us, looking at the state of this snake demon, he was covered in wounds, no wonder he was so fierce, we didn't even enter its territory, and took the initiative to attack. ”
On the largest official ship, a middle-aged man in armor had a little surprise on his face, looked at the white-faced scholar next to him and said,
"Master Gu, right now, there are those demon hunters to help us attract its attention, we can't miss this great opportunity!"
"That's nature...... Yu Tong listened to the order and threw all the bait down first!"
The white-faced scholar half-squinted his eyes at the snake demon raging on the sea in front of him, and commanded.
"The last will obey. ”
The sergeant was instructed to take out a palm-sized puppet from his waist, put his right index finger in his mouth and bite it, then smeared the blood on the puppet's face and recited a mantra.
Even though he heard the sound of neat footsteps from the cabin, more than a dozen "people" nearly two meters tall, bloated and exuding a strange aura walked out of the cabin side by side and stood in front of the man.
The naked upper body was painted with all kinds of strange runes, and the layers of flesh and blood seemed to hide something, wriggling from time to time, while the other officials on the deck turned a blind eye to this monster, as if they already knew about their existence.
Under the manipulation of the man with the puppet, these huge monsters all walked to the side of the ship, and then jumped into the sea one after another, and almost at the moment they fell into the water, these guys who looked extremely slow on the boat scattered and rushed out like swimming fish.
At the same time, if you look closely, you can see that these monsters are constantly releasing some kind of liquid as they go, making the water around them more and more turbid.
The forest snake soon noticed the change in the sea, and not only did it not recede, but it became more and more manic, only to see the speed of the shadows under the surface of the sea cruising faster, heading straight for the bloated monsters that had just entered the water, and devoured several in just a few minutes.
"A flesh puppet injected with the blood of a transcendent creature is really a good thing to lure this monster into the bait, Master Gu, I think it's almost time to start arranging the strangulation array. ”
Seeing the forest pythons swallowing the bait one after another, Yu Tong's face couldn't help but be filled with joy, and he arched his hand and said.
"Yes. ”
Master Gu nodded.
"Someone, signal flares, herald hunting team, set up formation!"
Yu Tong waved his hand, and a soldier behind him immediately took out another signal flare.
The dark purple ball of light was dazzling in the heavy rain, and before the surrounding demon hunters could figure out what the unexpected flare meant, they saw dozens of hooks shoot out of the decks of the three official ships, hooking trees on all sides.
In the midst of the steam, the soldier with an iron box more than two meters long on his back and a lock box hanging from his waist rose into the air.
Going to the high places of the trees around the fleet, each of them occupied the position that he had already observed, unloaded the iron box, pressed the switch on the edge, and the iron shell on the outside immediately dispersed and retreated, and there were iron thorns piercing out of the gaps, piercing into the fixed position of the tree trunk beside him, and the internal equipment that had originally shrunk into a ball expanded and reorganized, and finally turned into a ballista in the air, in addition to a whole pot of special arrows hanging from the bottom.
Long before the fleet set sail, the plan to hunt the forest worms was already determined.
This is where it is buried!
