The muffled sound that echoed in the mountains sounded like rolling thunder, and it was like a huge mountain rock falling from a cliff, and it rumbled for half a minute, and Betsy stopped abruptly in the middle of her words, and only after the voice died down did she blink and speak: "Could it be a landslide on the mountain road?"
”Hao Ren's face suddenly became bitter: "I'll go, won't I be so unlucky?"
”"Hurry first, don't delay the time," Nangong May took the lead in the front, and then quickly turned back, "Eh, Betsy, you come to lead the way, I don't recognize the road......"
Everyone stopped talking nonsense, buried their heads and continued to hurry, and began to move at full speed as much as possible in the rugged mountain road.Built hundreds of years ago by the royal family of Halletta, the road is now in disrepair, and is usually only used by mercenaries of the best artists or adventurers who are in a hurry.The ancient road unfolds along the mountain in a zigzag way, and there are smooth stone roads in some wide places, while the narrow and steep places can only be steep slopes formed by layers of stone steps, and in some places there are not even stone steps, which are simply primitive mountain rock slopes, only a guardrail made of thick iron chains is added to the edge of the ramp.Even the world's most endurable and exotic horses were not easy to advance on this path, so the pace of progress slowed down as they crossed the gentle hills, which were initially easier to walk.Soon after, the team arrived at a well-known and dangerous section of the trail, which had been carved out of the side wall of a steep cliff, with a thick and oppressive rock wall on one side and a cliff with a dry and cold mountain breeze on the other.There are only a few thick iron chains suspended outside the road as protection next to the narrow mountain road that only allows one or two people to move forward, and these iron chains are fixed on a few rusty iron piles, and the iron stakes are nailed obliquely to the outside of the narrow road under the feet.
If she had transformed into a werewolf, she would have caught her tail by now."
If you fall, it will hurt to death."
A gust of mountain wind hit.Lily said with her tongue out.Hao Ren rolled his eyes, Lily dared to say this thanks to her strong body, if ordinary people fall, how can it be described as "painful to death"?
Vivien is the lightest in the scene, and she can fly......
Before embarking on this dangerous road, Betsy had the crowd drive all the horses to the front of the group.Letting these old horses lead the way in front of the head is the mercenary experience of this world: these horses know how to move forward on dangerous roads themselves, they don't need to be led in front of them, and letting them walk in front of them can prevent the horses from panicking and knocking the people in front of them off the cliff in the event of an accident."
I seem to smell ......," Vivien walked ahead of Hao Ren, and she suddenly frowned and turned back at the halfway point of this dangerous road, "There seems to be a smell of blood ahead."
It's fresh. ”"Bloody?"
Hao Ren was taken aback, and said in his heart, don't be the visitor from the other world, "Hurry up!"
”Everyone finally walked through this narrow mountain road without danger, and after bypassing a few huge rocks, the road in front of them suddenly became clearer, and the bloody qi that Vivien mentioned was getting closer and closer, even to the point that Hao Ren himself could faintly distinguish it.There was a commotion from the front, mixed with the roar of men, the clash of swords, and the rumble of what seemed to be something exploding, as if there was a battle going on ahead.Betsy had already drawn her enchanted sword, "Can you guys fight?"
”Vivien's eyes were already glowing with blood, and Lily's ears and tail had popped out, and the two of them had no worries about the trouble of transforming in this world.So when the situation required it, she did not hesitate to change, and Betsy was relieved when she saw their form: "Ha, it turned out to be werewolves and blood clans, so at least self-protection is no problem."
Let's be careful. ”The sound of the battle was getting closer and closer, and the roars were mixed with the cries of pain when some people were injured, and after turning the last detour, Hao Ren finally saw what was happening in front of him: a team of men and horses were fighting ......
Some kind of stone monster fighting.Those people are also supposed to be mercenaries, wearing a variety of equipment, weapons and armor styles are uneven, which is a typical "motley army" characteristic of mercenaries, and the number is about twelve or thirteen.And what is fighting against them is a strange "creature" that Hao Ren could never imagine, it is a group of ......
Strange things that looked like rock statues, they were four or five meters tall and had a grayish-brown mountain rock texture.It has roughly the appearance of limbs and a head, and is covered in moss and broken vines, like a monster that has come out of a grotesque magical story.The battle seemed to have been going on for a long time, and more than a dozen mercenaries had all been wounded, and several of them had even lost their combat effectiveness, and they were covered in blood.Barely standing on the edge of the battlefield with the support of their weapons, while struggling to dodge the aftermath of the battle, the rest of the mercenaries were not much better.Those rock trolls seem to have overwhelming combat power, although they move a little slowly, but a heavy mountain rock is simply invulnerable, most of the mercenaries' swords can only jump out of a string of sparks on these monsters, and the magic bombardment in the past only blew up some rock chips, and on the contrary, the rock monster casually hit a ** mortal mercenary is the result of the skin and flesh.The fighting methods of those monsters are also very simple and rough, that is, they collide and stampede, their slow movements are not a problem, a huge creature four or five meters tall is not easy for short humans to catch up with even if it runs slowly, so the mercenaries can only wait for the monster to approach and rely on agility in a small area to try to dodge: this should be the experience that has just been accumulated.There are only three rock monsters, but they are in danger of beating a dozen mercenaries.On the other side of the mountain road, Hao Ren saw a large pile of broken rocks, which seemed to be the only rock monster that had been killed by the mercenaries, and he didn't know how they did it.Hao Ren was stunned for a moment when he saw this bizarre battle scene for the first time, and Yizax had already rushed forward with a shout: "Hurry up and help!"
”Vivien spread her wings and rushed into the air, quickly summoning two swarms of bats that were full of lightning, and began to brew her powerful lightning blast, while Lily summoned her own blades of ice and fire, raised her head and let out a long wolf howl at the sun (there was no moon at this time), and after being dizzy by the sun, she lowered her head and rushed to the cliff - Hao Ren quickly stepped forward and dragged her down, and the silly girl rushed towards those rock monsters.Nangong May quickly found a safe place to cat, and cautiously lowered her hatred value: no way, she is just a healing profession, if she faces ordinary creatures, maybe her kraken power can still work, but those rock monsters don't look like they have water in their bodies, let alone spiritual units that can be hypnotized with singing......
Hao Ren handed the girl's pot to Nangong May to hold, and also rushed up with a shield.Although he didn't like this kind of inexplicable battle, he was a gentleman and couldn't watch from the sidelines at this time."
Boom!"
Vivien's lightning blast was finally brewing, and two cone-shaped lightning bolts of bats slammed into her nearest stone monster like two high-explosive warheads, filling the air with smoke and debris, and the sound of a huge explosion echoed through the mountains for a long time.Lily flashed her twin blades and happily rushed into the blast range, and she wanted to snatch the head in anger: "Look at me!
”As a result, she rushed out in the next second: "Bat, you pit bastard!"
Stones do not conduct electricity!
”The mountain wind blew, the smoke cleared, and sure enough, the rock monster that was hit by Vivien's lightning strike was still standing there, although the explosion just now was really powerful, the monster had a layer of stone cut off all over its body, and half of its head was also blown to pieces, and its body was covered with scorch marks and cracks, but it was still standing, and it had begun to pursue Lily who had rushed up recklessly just now.It seems that for a stone monster, this injury is not a problem at all.Vivien's lightning blast has two stages of damage, one is that two electric cones bombard together to produce an explosion caused by high temperatures, and the other is the strong electric shock itself, the latter is almost as lethal to ordinary creatures as natural disasters, and the voltage is as powerful as the thunder of nature, but the vampire girl seems to lack experience in dealing with such strange monsters: their resistance is too high, and they seem to be not afraid of explosions......
The advantage of the sneak attack has been lost, and the next step is only a head-on hard battle.
