"Gollum... Gollum... Gollum..."
Such a strange sound of underground friction came from all over the town, as if some huge burrowing creature was quickly digging a tunnel under the ground. The townspeople and soldiers who were completely unprepared heard this sound coming from under their feet, At first, I could only look around blankly.
Then the thick slate floor on the street made a loud noise, gravel and mud flew, and huge tentacles pierced out from the ground!
Such a scene is happening in every corner of the town. Countless huge underground tentacles seem to sense that the mortals here are about to escape from this place, and launch a surprise attack on the town. The ground that should have been solid and thick was cracked everywhere, and black and terrifying monsters came out of the cracks with a roar. The resistance of most ordinary people was not painful to them, and it echoed everywhere in Layton Town. There are the screams of people fleeing in all directions and the cries of being injured, and among these sounds, there are continuous loud noises of cracking the ground and collapsing buildings. Sturdy rock houses and walls, once designed to ward off heretics, turn out to be as fragile as paper against the oldest and most powerful beings on the planet, as more and more subterranean tentacles spring forth , a large number of houses began to collapse, and even the walls of the town were shaking violently, falling earth and rocks. After many tentacles stick out from the ground, they "smartly" found the nearest building. Instead of attacking humans, they wrapped around the outer walls and pillars of the building and shook and pierced wildly. It seemed that they knew how to kill the people in the house. It is more efficient than attacking lonely people on the street.
Or maybe they're simply attacking the nearest target - to these (this) angry ancient creatures, everything man-made be damned!
Hao Ren, Ofra and the others had just dealt with a group of tentacles when they heard the sound of buildings collapsing, the ground cracking, and people running everywhere in the town. Betsy's expression changed immediately: "The town can't hold it!"
"It was impossible to keep it, but I didn't expect it to come so soon," Ofra did not lose her composure in this situation. She didn't regret why she didn't discover the movement of the tentacles in advance, but immediately dispatched the rescue measures afterwards, "Jie Fusen, go to evacuate the civilians in the area. Inform Gordon's team to set off immediately, and take as much supplies as they can. Burn the ones that can't be taken away, and block the tentacles with flames. Everyone retreats in the direction of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range. Ken, take your men and deal with the tentacles in town..."
Ofrah quickly assigned the responsibilities of each person. A house about a hundred meters away from everyone suddenly collapsed during the conversation, and several black tentacles rushed out of the smoke. Ofrah didn't even look at it. He waved the long sword in the direction of the tentacles. The latter immediately ignited a cloud of silver flames out of thin air, and turned into ashes before rushing a few meters.
Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that this is indeed the strongest warrior in the entire Holleta Kingdom—I don't know what level of demon hunter is equivalent to it in the watch world.
When Layton Town was in chaos, a powerful purple light beam suddenly rose from the church in the town, and a large number of tentacles covered by the light immediately withered, and at the same time, the cracks in the ground all over the town healed at a speed visible to the naked eye—Ger At the critical moment, Dun activated the final setting of the magic circle. Although it was only a stopgap measure, the disaster was temporarily contained!
Knowing that the opportunity was fleeting, the Knights of the Kingdom and the Knights of the Church immediately led the assembled evacuees out of the town. Withdrew to the avenue leading to the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, and at the same time, the soldiers who stayed in the town also began to hurry up and destroy the tentacles that were temporarily weakened: although this kind of elimination is only a drop in the bucket for the entire Twisted Woodland, at least it can be used in the gods. Gain a few minutes more time to evacuate after the energy of the magic circle is exhausted!
And the body of the tentacles seems to feel the stubborn resistance of mortals. Hao Ren heard a muffled sound that sounded like a roar from deep underground, and waves of vibrations came from under his feet. It seems that more tentacles are gathering here.
"It seems that it is waking up faster and faster," the data terminal said in a rare tone of nervousness, "This creature's huge size allows it to gradually wake up in several parts, and its core should still be asleep , but the peripheral tentacles have woken up in pieces!"
Ophra frowned: "And these tentacles can obviously think... They are trying their best to prevent someone from escaping from here... Not good!"
Everyone thought of the meaning of Ophra's "no". The Parish of Beinz is built on the "branch" of this ancient plant, which has now awakened. It is not safe for the townspeople to evacuate from the town!
Sure enough, not long after Ovra's voice fell. A magician suddenly flew over from a distance, and reported loudly in the sky: "Your Excellency, Marshal! Monsters also appeared on the road! The monsters in the Twisted Woods have also gone mad!"
"Send additional knights to escort each team, and give up all supplies and spare weapons. If you can't escape this time, you won't need those things!" Ophra ordered loudly, then turned to look at Hao Ren and the others, "You guys …”
"Let's go to the avenue to help!" Hao Ren didn't wait for Ofra to finish speaking, and immediately led the people to the avenue outside the town. Ofra was stunned, showing a smile, and followed.
The situation outside the town is indeed not optimistic. Outside the influence range of the magic circle, a large number of tentacles are rushing out from the cracks in the road to attack in all directions, and the strange monsters in the Twisted Woodland also broke through the blockade and started attacking humans as if they had gone mad. Those distorted monsters with poisonous blood reminded Hao Ren of the messages he saw in the underground caves. Before, he thought these monsters were simple mutant monsters, but now he suddenly realized the true nature of these monsters. Identity: This is most likely the descendant of the "Third Son" mentioned in the message, those ephemeral frantic monsters born from the aftermath of the blood tide! Although they are extinct in most parts of the world, in the special environment of the Twisted Woodland, these monsters have survived to this day relying on the support and shelter of the "firstborn"!
Becky drew out her long sword, gritted her teeth, turned into a whirlwind and rushed towards the monsters running from the wilderness to the avenue. Compared with the tentacles with a limited attack range, these frenzied beasts are the biggest threat to civilians !
"I'm here to help you!" Lily shouted behind Becky, waving her Fire and Ice Blades and joined the battle. She still remembered the blade storm technique she had learned from Becky, so she saw it right away. The two destructive whirlwinds swept into the group of monsters like propellers out of control. Seeing that the fighting power of the two mercenaries was so strong, Ofra immediately exclaimed: "The power of Errenzhuan is so terrifying!"
Hao Ren: "..."
The tentacles on the avenue were fought by the guarding knights, and the reinforcements led by Ophra and Hao Ren quickly joined the battle against the beasts. However, there were endless monsters rushing out of the Twisted Woods, and the entire road was impossible. Being completely guarded by such a small number of people!
Becky retreated dizzily within a few minutes, and it took at least three minutes of CD before she could continue to perform the two-person fusion skill with Lily. Lily couldn't stand alone among the hordes of monsters, so she had to retreat to the main force.
Elson, the old werewolf next to Ovra, has completely turned into a werewolf at this moment. The muscles of this brave old man are bulging, his hands are swollen and elongated like a beast, and the muscles on his face are even vaguely distorted into the shape of a wolf's head. He was surrounded by four or five knights who were also werewolves, both men and women, and they were the most powerful werewolf warriors under Ofra. These warriors repelled the attack of the terrifying beasts in front of them. Looking at the monsters still running out of the twisted forest, one of them let out a long cry, and then looked at Ophra: "Your Excellency, Marshal! We must Complete animalization can resist these things!"
Ofra shook off a bit of black blood stained on the long sword: "There is no moonlight now, can it be done?"
"We are not ordinary werewolves!" Elson grinned, showing his sharp fangs, "Stand back everyone else! Don't be accidentally injured by a beastly werewolf!"
Hao Ren, Ofra and the others hurriedly backed away, and saw that the bodies of Elson and those high-ranking werewolves had begun to transform rapidly. When Ren saw this situation, he immediately looked at Lili with feelings, and sure enough, he found that the girl was holding a large bag of spicy sticks and stuffing them into her mouth like a dumping box. He was ambiguous: "Wait...you wait for me! I can transform too!"
At that time, Hao Ren felt that something might be wrong... (to be continued~^~)
