coming? what is coming
Before Roland could ask a question, the ground beneath his feet suddenly arched upwards, and then it was torn apart, and the entire Black Rock Pagoda was lifted up in an instant! I saw a gray giant beast rushing out from the ground, opening its bloody mouth, trying to completely wrap the bottom of the stone tower, and the mucus on the skin splashed everywhere.
Since A-Xia's ability can only rewind the sight and cannot reproduce the sound, Roland is like watching a silent movie, but the extremely realistic sight still makes him feel a strong shock, as for those witches who watch it for the first time, even more Not much better, everyone exclaimed in surprise, covering their mouths and taking a few steps back, Ashes even drew a sword reflexively to block in front of Tilly.
But there is more than one terrifying monster.
There is even a tentacle monster hidden under the black stone tower. Its dark body is almost completely embedded in the tower. At first glance, it looks like countless feet growing from the bottom of the stone tower, but the dark red light reflected by the scales shows that it is a living creature. thing.
Although the tentacle monster is about the size of half a castle, it is still insignificant in front of the giant mouth beast that can swallow the tower. In order not to be swallowed, it waved its tentacles firmly between the upper and lower jaws of the giant beast, and at the same time sprayed blood mist from under the scales, and the traces of corrosion can also be clearly seen from the giant beast. - Apparently this thick to almost black mist can cause damage to it.
However, compared to its huge size, the blood mist corrosion alone cannot stop the giant-mouthed beast from swallowing. into the belly of the monster. Then the Blackrock Spire slowly slid down until it completely submerged into the giant mouth. At the end of the image, Roland saw the devil covered in eyeballs. It seemed to be indifferent to the monsters that raided the camp. It lay motionless on the top of the tower and was also swallowed together.
Backtracking to the end, in an instant, the red mist and the giant beast disappeared, and the scene returned to calm, leaving only a huge deep pit, telling everyone that the scene just now was not an illusion.
Roland let out a sigh of relief. He firmly believed that it was right not to call the soldiers of the First Army to watch. Even he felt his heart pounding when he watched the incident. Even after it was over, there was still a trace of lingering fear. Don't go.
"This is... the worm monster that engulfed Miss Agatha's laboratory?" Tilly broke the silence after a long time, "Why would it attack the devil's camp?"
"Maybe we all thought wrong before. Maybe it's not a mixed-species demon beast enslaved by the devil, at least not controlled by the devil behind the snowy mountains..." Roland looked at Agatha, "What do you think?"
"I also agree with this view," Agatha nodded, obviously thinking about this question for a long time, "not to mention that there was no record of this kind of evil beast during the two battles of divine will, if the devil really has the ability to drive them, we It won't last that long at all. As long as the enemy is attacking the city on a large scale and sends several giant-mouthed beasts carrying high-level demons into the city from the ground, Taquila should have been turned into ruins long ago."
"If it's not the devil, then who is controlling it?" Tilly frowned. "And the group of transparent mantises that Miss Nightingale discovered. It's obvious that these evil beasts' behavior is planned."
"Can't they just do it because they want to do it," Nightingale spread her hands, "Mixed species are not ordinary evil beasts. Judging from Xie Yue's performance, they already have basic thinking skills, as long as they live long enough , maybe even smarter than us."
This sentence made everyone burst into laughter, and the dignified atmosphere of the scene dissipated a lot. Obviously no one really thinks so. After all, a group of monsters who are drinking blood and arching in the mud are better than toasting bread and wearing woven clothes. Human beings are smarter, this kind of thing is too unbelievable.
Only Roland didn't say a word, he looked at the bottom of the deep pit, his thoughts tumbling in his mind.
Are humans the smartest species
He didn't even dare to think like that, especially in this completely unfamiliar world. When the living environment and living needs are very different, the characteristics displayed by intelligent organisms may be completely different. Take the evil beasts, they certainly don't think silk and bread are good things.
"Why doesn't the beholder react to the raid?" Andrea asked inexplicably. "Don't you mean that as long as it is watched, the entire camp will be awakened?"
"Because it's not seen by anyone," Agatha explained, "the beholder only sees us when we see the beholder, and the giant beast—it has no eyes at all. Except for a large Outside of its mouth, it has nothing."
"Because it doesn't need eyes," Roland said. "If you live underground all the year round, the eyes are of little use. Just like earthworms, you don't need to evolve special photoreceptors to guide the direction."
"Evolution... what?" Tilly asked curiously.
"Photosensitive organs, such as eyes, and the skin of some animals can also do this," he didn't explain too much, but squatted down and pointed to the depths of the hole, "Lightning, do you want to go down and have a look? "
The little girl nodded immediately.
"It's too dangerous," Ashes stopped. "We don't even know what's hiding underneath."
"You don't need to go deep into the tunnel, just take a look at the direction the giant beast is moving," Roland said, "Nightingale will monitor the magic reaction from above, and there will be no danger."
"Hey, don't you follow the hole to catch it?" Lightning pouted.
"Forget it this time. After all, it's the devil that swallows the devil, not Agatha," he repeated. "After finding the direction of the passage, report it immediately, do you understand?"
"I see," Lightning took out the portable torch in the backpack, lit it, and flew into the deep pit.
"The entrance of the cave is here!" After a few breaths, the sound of lightning came from the magic stone, "Have you seen the fire?"
According to the position of the torch, Nightingale quickly determined the direction of the underground passage, "No problem, you can come up."
Looking at Nightingale standing in the southeast of the deep pit, and the snow-capped mountains behind her, Roland frowned even deeper.
More than one person at the scene thought of this.
"It seems that we really guessed wrong," Tilly said with a shrug. "The worm and demon beast encountered in the Hidden Forest didn't go to the devil's camp, but this snowy mountain?"
"That seems to be the case." He raised his head and saw the peaks looming in the clouds and mist, and the white snow reflected light in the sunlight, "Looks like we have to investigate this highest mountain in the west. already."
