Chapter 523: The Corpse Pecker
The night was silent. . fastest update
On the first night after everyone entered the barren area, Ian arranged for Ruby and Du Dian to be on duty, so that the rest could rest and recover so that they could stay in the best condition for tomorrow's battle.
"If you sense a monster approaching, give me a signal immediately." Ruby said to Du Dian.
Du Di'an nodded slightly, and sat at both ends of the basement with Ruby, always paying attention to the movement outside.
There was no bonfire in the dark basement to prevent the heat from attracting monsters.
The cold wind poured in from the vent in the basement. Eugene, Ian and the others were tightly wrapped in clothes, leaning against the wall and sleeping with weapons in their hands, as if they would wake up and enter the battle at any time.
Du Dian always maintains a state of thermal vision. When paying attention to the movement of the monsters outside, he is also paying attention to the physical state of Ian and others. He can see the blood flow in their bodies and the contraction of each heartbeat.
"When the task is completed, you have to find a way to get out of the team and find Kaqi..." Du Dian's eyes flashed, and he thought about the method in his heart.
Long night.
On the street above the basement, there were occasional low-pitched beast roars and roars of monsters fighting each other. Every time there is a movement, it will make Du Di'an and Ruby's heart tense, and the whole body is tense. After the sound disappears, they relax a little.
In a blink of an eye, the night passed.
Dawn is approaching, shining into the basement from the direction of the vent.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Ruby immediately woke up Ian and others. Everyone woke up one after another. After breakfast, they packed their things. Luna and Du Dian first checked the movement outside and confirmed that no monsters were staying nearby. Then he quietly climbed out of the basement and came to the street outside.
"Let's go." Ian led the way.
The crowd drew their weapons and followed closely behind.
Walking quietly along the street, I saw some corpses of monsters on the ground along the way. In addition, I also encountered a pool of fresh blood. Du Di'an recalled the roar of monsters I heard last night, guessing that it was mostly left by the battle at that time. down.
On the quiet and desolate street, there were several walking corpses swaying. Hearing the footsteps of everyone, he immediately turned his head and looked over. His numb face, which was full of blood, suddenly showed a hideous expression, and he rushed over with a roar.
"Dude,
You're in charge of cleaning these up, and Eugene needs to conserve his energy for the battle with the hearers. ' said Ian.
Du Dian nodded, broke a white skeleton from the wreckage of a monster on the ground, quickly rushed out of the team, and killed several walking corpses that were rushing towards him. The battle was quickly ended without much movement.
After killing a few walking corpses, Du Dian continued to move forward with the bone spear. In the face of these monsters whose hunting level did not exceed ten, he did not want to waste the arrows. Although the arrows shot could be recovered again, the sharpness would wear out.
Along the way, some walking corpses were encountered along the way, as well as monsters the size of a wolf but a head like a mouse, all of which were swept and killed by Du Di'an.
"In a place with so many advanced monsters, it's strange that these weak walking corpses are still alive." Eugene muttered as he walked.
No one answered his words. Ian and the others were all vigilantly guarding the surroundings. Although there were two perceptive team members, Luna and Du Di'an, they still did not dare to take it lightly.
When Du Dian heard Eugene's words, his heart moved. He thought of the walking corpse powder sold among hunters in the giant wall, which could suppress the smell in the body and avoid being attacked by monsters. It seems that only a few of these monsters will attack the walking corpses, and most of the remaining monsters are mostly ignoring the walking corpses. Is it because of the small number of scavengers?
In a blink of an eye, everyone came to the foothills on the edge of the city.
I saw that there were many uneven pits on the road leading to the mountain in front of me, as if they had been penetrated by some blunt weapon. They looked like footprints, but they did not have claws like footprints.
Ian glanced at it and said in a condensed voice: "Get ready to enter the mountain. The listeners have sensitive senses and can hear subtle movements. Everyone wraps their shoes and controls their breathing. According to the three shallow and one deep magic-devouring rat breathing method. breathe."
After he finished speaking, he took out the cloth he had prepared in the rucksack earlier, and bent over to wrap the alloy boots on his feet. With the sneaking footwork, it could greatly reduce the sound.
As for the three shallow and one deep breathing method, this is a very common camouflage method, specially designed to prevent some sensitive monsters.
After Ian was ready, Du Dian and others also finished preparing one after another. After everyone adjusted their breathing, they silently entered the mountain with Ian's breathing.
Just a few hundred meters into the mountain, Du Dian saw a large number of red heat sources lurking in the deep grass on the mountain, but these heat sources were not big, just some small monsters, with a hunting level between three and eighteen. No threat to the squad.
Despite this, Du Di'an made a signal with gestures.
When Ian saw it, he nodded and moved on.
The wet fog in the early morning shrouded the mountain. After Du Di'an and others entered the mountain, the fog fluttered, blocking the broken justice in front of the foot of the mountain and hiding everyone's figures.
The crowd moved forward silently.
Suddenly, Luna, who was in parallel with Du Dian, changed her face and hurriedly raised her hand to signal.
Roar!
At the same time as she signaled, a giant black shadow suddenly jumped out of the grass shrouded in thin mist, roaring and rushing towards the crowd.
Everyone was shocked.
Ian and Martin reacted the fastest and quickly confronted them.
Eugene, who was attacked by the black giant, was so frightened that he almost screamed, his face paled instantly, he instinctively pulled back and retreated into the team to gain a sense of security.
With a loud bang, the flames rubbed out, and Ian's sharp sword slashed on the black giant shadow, blocking its attack momentum, but he also swayed, staggered back two steps, and almost fell.
Martin immediately protected him in front of him. His weapon was a pair of black knives. At this moment, he crossed and blocked in front of him, staring closely at the repulsed black giant. He did not rush to meet him, but bought time to wait for the team to adjust. .
Rosemary and Ruby stood up quickly, and Ruby threw aside the huge burden on her body, pulled out her battle axe, and looked nervous.
At this time, Du Dian had already seen the appearance of the black giant. It was actually a humanoid upper body with a muscular chest, but a head like an eagle with no eyes, and a thick snake tail on the lower body. It was held high, and on the outside of the two strong arms similar to human arms, a few sharp flat bone spurs grew, like a few sharp blades.
"It's the 'corpse picker'!" Ian was stunned when he saw it, his face changed slightly, and said, "The listener is right here!"
