Chapter 600: An Astonishing Scene
coming? What's coming?
Before Roland could ask, the ground under his feet suddenly arched upwards, and then fell apart, and the entire Blackstone Tower was lifted up in an instant! I saw a gray giant rushing out of 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 Asha's ability can only recall the scene and cannot reproduce the sound, Roland was like watching a silent movie, but the extremely realistic scene still made him feel strongly shocked, as for those witches who watched it for the first time. Not much better, everyone exclaimed, covered their mouths and took several steps back, Ashes even drew his sword reflexively to block Tilly.
But there is more than one terrifying monster.
There is actually 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 refracted by the scales shows that it is a living creature. things.
Although the body shape of the tentacle monster is almost half the size of the castle, it still looks a bit insignificant in front of the giant mouth beast that can swallow the tower. In order not to be swallowed, it waved its tentacles between the upper and lower jaws of the giant beast. At the same time, it sprayed out bursts of blood mist from under the scales, and the traces of corrosion could be clearly seen from the giant beast. ——Obviously, this kind of fog that is so thick that it is almost black can cause damage to it.
However, compared to its huge size, blood mist corrosion alone cannot stop the giant mouth beast from swallowing. As the stone tower was lifted up little by little, the tentacle monster was finally unable to support it, and was crushed by the huge weight of the tower. Into the belly of the monster. Then the Blackrock Tower slowly slid down until it was completely submerged in the giant mouth. At the end of the video, Roland saw the devil covered in eyeballs. It seemed indifferent to the monsters that raided the camp. It lay motionless on the top of the tower, and was also swallowed.
The backtracking ended here, and 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 breathed a sigh of relief. He firmly believed that it was right not to call the soldiers of the First Army to watch. Even he himself felt his heart pounding when he watched the accident. Even after it was over, there was still a 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 did it attack the devil's camp?"
"Maybe we were all wrong before, maybe it's not a hybrid beast enslaved by the devil, at least not controlled by the devil behind the snow mountain..." Roland looked at Agatha, "What do you think?"
"I also agree with this point of view." Agatha nodded, obviously thinking about this issue for a long time, "not to mention that there were no records of such evil beasts during the two battles of divine will, if devils really have the ability to drive them, we It can't last that long at all. As long as the enemy sends a few giant-mouthed beasts carrying high-level devils into the city from the ground when they are attacking the city, 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 praying mantises that Miss Nightingale discovered. It's obvious that the actions of these evil beasts are planned."
"Can't they do it because they want to do that?" Nightingale spread her hands, "Hybrid species are not ordinary evil beasts, judging from Xie Yue's performance, they already have basic thinking ability, as long as they live long enough , maybe smarter than us.”
This sentence made everyone laugh out loud, and the dignified atmosphere at the scene dissipated a lot. Obviously, no one really thinks so. After all, a group of monsters who are raw, drinking blood, and squatting in the mud are better than those who are baking bread and wearing knitting clothes. More humans 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 mind churning with thoughts.
Are humans the smartest species?
He dared not even think about it, especially in this completely strange world. When the living environment and life needs are very different, the characteristics displayed by intelligent creatures may be completely different. Take evil beasts as an example, they definitely don't think silk and bread are good things.
"Why didn't the beholder respond to the surprise attack?" Andrea asked inexplicably, "Didn't it mean that the entire camp would be awakened as long as it watched it?"
"Because it's not seen by anyone," Agatha explained, "the beholder sees us only when we see the beholder, and that behemoth—it has no eyes at all. Except for a It has nothing but its mouth wide open."
"Because it doesn't need eyes," Roland said. "If it lives underground all year round, the eyes will have little effect. Just like earthworms, they don't need to evolve special light-sensing organs 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 cave, "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 hidden underneath."
"You don't need to go deep into the tunnel, just take a look at the direction in which the giant beast is moving," Roland said, "Nightingale will monitor the magic reaction from above, and there is no danger."
"Hey, don't you follow the hole to catch it?" Lightning pouted.
"I'll save it this time, after all, it swallowed the devil, not Agatha," he repeatedly urged, "Come out and report immediately after finding the direction of the passage, understand?"
"I see," Lightning took out the portable torch in his backpack, lit it, and flew headlong into the deep pit.
"The entrance of the cave is here!" After a few breaths, the sound of lightning came from the magic stone, "Did you see the fire?"
According to the position of the torch, Nightingale quickly determined the direction of the underground passage, "No problem, you can come up now."
Looking at Nightingale standing in the southeast of the deep pit, and the towering 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 shrugged. "The worm monster we met in the Hidden Forest was not going to the devil's camp, but this snow mountain?"
"It seems to be so," he looked up, only to see the mountain peak looming in the clouds and mist, and the white snow reflected in the sunlight, "It seems that we have to investigate this highest mountain in the Western Region. up."
