Chapter 220: Fog Monster
Zhang Shi was shocked and quickly took a few steps back. He held the old piece in front of him and looked at the centaur who was once again in a violent state.
"What's going on? Why are they being controlled again?" Zhao Feng shouted loudly and clenched the giant ax in his hand again.
Huo Xiuxiu frowned. She carefully observed the condition of the centaurs and said, "It seems that the power controlling them is very strong. It was only temporarily lifted for a while, and now it has taken effect again."
Ge Dalong formed a seal with his hands, preparing to attack again: "No matter what, stop them first. It's too dangerous to continue like this!"
Zhang Shi took a deep breath and his eyes became firm: "Everyone, be careful and try not to hurt them. We must find a way to completely remove this power of control."
After that, Zhang Shi dodged and rushed towards one of the centaurs. He was extremely fast, and the knife in his hand carried a fierce momentum. He tried to hit the centaur on the head again with the back of the knife to make it incapacitated. ability. However, this time the centaurs seemed to be on guard. They flexibly avoided Zhang Shi's attack, and at the same time brandished their spears and launched a fierce counterattack against Zhang Shi.
When Zhao Feng saw this, he shouted loudly and rushed towards the other centaur from the side. He raised his giant ax high and slashed down with a whirring sound. The centaur used its spear to move forward. The huge impact made the centaur take a few steps back, but it quickly stabilized its body and rushed towards Zhao Feng again.
Huo Xiuxiu kept shaking the bell on the side, and the sound waves emitted tried to interfere with the centaur's actions and thinking. But this time, the effect of the sound waves seemed less obvious. The centaur only paused for a moment before continuing to attack everyone.
Ge Dalong condensed more ice picks and shot them towards the centaur. The ice picks were as dense as raindrops. Under the attack of the ice picks, the centaur had to distract himself to dodge, and the rhythm of the attack also slowed down slightly.
Zhang Shi took advantage of this opportunity and rushed towards the centaur again. His eyes were focused, looking for the centaur's flaws. Suddenly, he noticed that the centaur's steps were a little messy when it was avoiding the ice pick. His heart moved, and he immediately seized this opportunity, rushed forward with a lunge, and hit the centaur's leg hard with the back of his knife. The centaur's legs softened and it almost fell to its knees, but it still held on tenaciously and stabbed Zhang Shi with the spear in its hand.
Zhang Shi dodged sideways to avoid the spear attack, then quickly went around behind the centaur and hit the centaur hard on the back of the head with the handle of the knife. This time, the centaur finally couldn't hold on any longer, his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground.
At the same time, Zhao Feng gradually gained the upper hand in a fierce battle with another centaur. He took advantage of the weight of the giant ax and his own strength to continuously attack the centaur's weak points of defense. Finally, under a fierce attack, the centaur's spear was knocked away. Zhao Feng took the opportunity to hit the centaur with the back of the axe. head, knocking him unconscious.
Everyone gathered around again, looking at the two unconscious centaurs on the ground, all panting.
"What can we do? They are so controlled, how can we completely remove this control?" Zhao Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.
Huo Xiuxiu squatted down and carefully inspected the centaur's body and the broken pendant: "This pendant seems to be the key to control, but it is broken. Maybe we need to find the source of all this control before we can truly lift their control." ”
Zhang Shi thought for a moment and said: "No matter what, we can't take them with us. Let's keep them here for now. Whether they live or die depends on their fate."
Everyone nodded silently, knowing that Zhang Shi's decision was the most rational choice at the moment.
"Then let's go and find the three-headed monster as soon as possible. Maybe we can get some useful information from it." Zhang Shi said, taking the lead and walking towards the other side of the dragon's body.
Along the way, everyone was silent and the atmosphere was a bit heavy. They climbed carefully on the dragon's bones, alert to possible dangers around them.
Finally, before dark, the group finally reached the dragon's spine. Zhang Shi looked at the other side. Through the fog, he found that there was a faint fire on the opposite side, and the outlines of some buildings could still be vaguely seen.
Zhang Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a glimmer of hope surged in his heart: "It seems that there are traces of civilization on the other side. Maybe we can find clues to leave the foggy area there, or figure out the truth behind all this."
Zhao Feng clenched the giant ax in his hand and said excitedly: "Whatever, as long as there is light, it is better than wandering around in this ghost place. Maybe we can find out the whereabouts of the crystal ball."
Ge Dalong looked around cautiously and reminded: "Everyone should be careful. This place is full of weirdness. Who knows what is going on on the other side. Maybe those fires and buildings are another trap."
Huo Xiuxiu nodded slightly, and the bell in her hand swayed slightly: "Ge Dalong is right, we can't take it lightly. I'll go ahead and explore the road first to see if there is any danger."
Zhang Shi just wanted to stop him, but Huo Xiuxiu had already dodged and drifted towards the opposite side. Zhang Shi sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to follow closely behind with Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong, while maintaining a high degree of vigilance.
As they got closer to the opposite side, the outlines of those buildings became clearer and clearer. What I saw was a group of ancient and dilapidated buildings. The walls were covered with moss and vines. Some buildings had even collapsed in half and looked abandoned for a long time.
Huo Xiuxiu stopped in front of a relatively intact building. She carefully observed the surrounding environment and found some strange footprints and traces of fighting on the ground.
"Something seems to have happened here." Huo Xiuxiu said softly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Zhang Shi walked forward and squatted down to check the footprints: "These footprints are of different sizes and strange shapes. They don't look like they were left by humans. Could they be those monsters?"
Zhao Feng looked around and suddenly pointed to a corner not far away and said: "Look, there seems to be something glowing there!"
Everyone looked in the direction Zhao Feng pointed, and saw that in a pile of ruins, there was an object emitting faint light half-hidden under the stone.
Zhang Shi walked over carefully, moved the stone away, and revealed something similar to a crystal fragment. The fragment was crystal clear, emitting a faint blue light, and it seemed to contain some mysterious runes.
"What is this?" Zhang Shi picked up the fragment and looked at it carefully.
Huo Xiuxiu took the fragment, closed her eyes and felt its spiritual power fluctuations: "This should be a fragment of some powerful magic item, perhaps related to the secret of this foggy area. Let's take it with us, maybe it will be useful in the future."
At this moment, a low roar came from the depths of the building complex, and the sound was particularly eerie and terrifying in the silent night.
"No, there is danger!" Zhang Shi shouted loudly, and everyone immediately tightened their weapons, formed a defensive circle back to back, and watched the surroundings vigilantly.
I saw a huge black monster slowly walking out of the darkness. Its body seemed to be made of smoke, and its specific shape could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of blood-red eyes flashed strangely in the darkness.
"What the hell is this?" Zhao Feng's voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously frightened by the appearance of this monster.
Ge Dalong took a deep breath and gathered his magic power: "No matter what it is, get ready to fight!"
Huo Xiuxiu shook the bell, trying to interfere with the monster's actions with sound waves. However, the monster seemed to be immune to the sound waves. It opened its bloody mouth and sprayed a black mist at everyone.
Zhang Shi quickly waved Lao Duan to split the mist: "Everyone be careful, don't be hit by this mist!"
In the fierce confrontation, Zhang Shi found that the monster's actions seemed to be restricted in some way. Its movement speed was not fast, and its attack method was relatively simple.
"Is its weakness in the head?" Zhang Shi's mind moved and he chopped at the monster's head.
Lao Duan chopped the monster's head, making a dull sound. The monster's body trembled slightly, but it did not suffer much damage.
"No, this attack is not very effective." Zhang Shi frowned and thought about how to deal with it.
Seeing this, Zhao Feng shouted and smashed the giant axe hard at the monster's leg. This time, the monster's leg was hit, and its body shook and almost fell to the ground.
"Now, everyone attack its legs together!" Zhang Shi shouted.
Hearing this, everyone attacked the monster's legs. With everyone's concerted efforts, the monster's legs finally couldn't hold up and it fell down.
Taking advantage of the moment when the monster fell, Zhang Shi rushed forward and stabbed Lao Duan fiercely into the monster's head. The monster let out a shrill scream, and its body gradually dissipated, turning into a ball of black smoke and disappeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground exhausted.
"How many dangers are waiting for us in this damn place?" Zhao Feng complained.
Zhang Shi stood up and patted the dust off his body: "No matter how many dangers there are, we must persevere. Let's rest for a while, and when we recover our strength, we will continue to explore this place and must find a way to leave here."
