Chapter 191 An Unexpected Battle

The muffled sound that echoed in the mountains sounded like rolling thunder, or like a huge rock falling from the cliff. It rumbled for half a minute, and Betsy stopped abruptly in the middle of her words. After the voice calmed down, he blinked and said, "Could it be that there was a landslide on the mountain road?"

Hao Ren's face suddenly turned bitter: "If I go, I won't be so unlucky, right?"

"Let's go first, don't waste time," Nangong Wuyue walked ahead, then quickly turned back, "Um, Betsy, you come to lead the way, I don't recognize you..."

Everyone stopped talking nonsense, kept their heads down and continued on their way, starting to move forward at full speed on the rugged mountain roads.

This road was built hundreds of years ago under the leadership of the Horleta royal family. Now it has fallen into disrepair. Usually only brave mercenaries with high skills or adventurers who are really in a hurry will take a shortcut here. The ancient road winds along the mountain. In some places with wider terrain, there are flat stone roads, while in places with narrow and steep terrain, there are only steep slopes formed by layers of stone steps. In some places, there are even stone steps. None, it was just an original rock slope, with guardrails made of thick iron chains added to the edge of the slope. Even the extremely tolerant and unique horses that are a specialty of this world would not be easy to move forward on this kind of road, so everyone's progress slowed down a lot after crossing the gentle mountainous terrain that was easier to walk at first.

Soon after, the team arrived at a famous and dangerous section of the ancient trail. This section was dug directly into the side of the steep cliff. On one side was a thick and compressed rock wall, and on the other side was a vast mountain with the dry and cold mountain wind blowing. cliff. There are only a few thick iron chains suspended outside the road as protection beside the narrow mountain road that only allows one or two people to advance. These iron chains are fixed on several rusty iron piles, and the iron piles are nailed diagonally to the narrow road under their feet. On the outside of the road, if you slip under your feet, you may fall directly from the gap between the iron chain and the ground. It can be said that the psychological comfort of this "guardrail" is greater than the actual effect, so Hao Ren walked cautiously, and even Lily looked nervous. Following Hao Ren, he grabbed the hem of his clothes and moved forward: This girl is currently in human form. If she had transformed into a werewolf, she would have tucked her tail between her legs by now.

"It will definitely hurt if you fall." Lily said with her tongue sticking out as a gust of mountain wind hit her.

Hao Ren rolled his eyes. It was thanks to Lily's strong body that she dared to say this. If an ordinary person fell, would it be described as "painful to death"?

Vivian is the most calm and carefree person on the scene, but she can fly...

Before embarking on this dangerous road, Betsy asked everyone to drive all the horses to the front of the team. Letting these old horses lead the way is the mercenary experience of this world: these horses know how to move forward on the dangerous road by themselves, and do not need to People holding the horses in front and letting them walk in front can prevent the horses from being frightened and rushing off the cliff in the event of an accident.

"I seem to smell..." Vivian was walking in front of Hao Ren. Halfway through this dangerous road, she suddenly turned around with a frown, "There seems to be the smell of blood ahead. It's very fresh."

"Bloody smell?" Hao Ren was suddenly startled, thinking that something bad happened to the visitor from another world, "Hurry up and leave!"

Everyone finally walked through this narrow mountain road without any danger. After bypassing several huge rocks, the road in front of them suddenly became clearer. The bloody smell Vivian mentioned was getting closer and closer, even to the point where Hao Ren himself could not stand it. To the point where it can be vaguely distinguished.

A burst of noise came from the front, mixed with the roar of people, the collision of swords, and the roar of something exploding. It seemed that a battle was taking place in front.

Betsy had already drawn her enchanted sword: "Can you guys fight?"

Vivian's eyes were filled with blood, and Lily's ears and tail had popped out. The two of them didn't worry about the trouble that transformation would cause in this world, so they transformed without hesitation when the situation required it. Becky felt relieved when she saw them in this form: "Ha, it turns out they are werewolves and vampires, so self-protection is at least no problem. Let's be careful and touch them."

The sounds of battle were getting closer and closer, and those roars were also mixed with the cries of pain when some people were injured. After turning the last bend, Hao Ren finally saw what was happening in front of him: a group of people were fighting... some kind of stone monster. .

Those people should also be mercenaries, wearing a variety of equipment, and the styles of weapons and armor are all different. They are the typical "miscellaneous army" characteristics of mercenaries. There are about twelve or three people, and the one who fights them is Hao Strange "creatures" that Ren could never imagine, they were a group of... strange things that looked like rock statues. They were four to five meters high, with a gray-brown rock texture, and roughly had the appearance of limbs and heads. The top and bottom were covered with moss and broken vines, like a monster from a weird fantasy story.

The battle seemed to have lasted for a long time. All the dozen mercenaries were injured, and some of them had even lost their combat effectiveness. They were covered in blood and could only stand on the edge of the battlefield with the support of their weapons. At the same time, they struggled to dodge the aftermath of the battle. The situation of the remaining mercenaries was not much better. Those rock monsters seem to have overwhelming combat power. Although they move a little slowly, they are invulnerable due to the thick rock. Most of the mercenaries' swords slashing these monsters can only produce a string of sparks, and the magic bombards them. It only exploded some rock debris, and conversely, any mortal mercenary hit by the rock monster would be bruised and bruised.

The fighting methods of those monsters are also very simple and crude, which is to collide and trample. Their slow movements are not a problem. No matter how slow a running speed of a huge creature four or five meters high is, it is not something that a short human can easily catch up with. Therefore, The mercenaries could only wait for the monster to approach and then rely on agility to dodge in a small area: this should be the experience they have just accumulated.

There were only three rock monsters, but they put more than a dozen mercenaries into danger.

On the other side of the mountain road, Hao Ren saw a large pile of broken rocks. It seemed to be the only rock monster killed by the mercenaries. He didn't know how they did it.

Hao Ren was stunned for a moment when he saw such a bizarre battle scene for the first time, but Yzaks had already rushed forward shouting: "Hurry up and help!"

She had to take action. Vivian spread her wings and rushed into the air, quickly summoning two large groups of bats radiating with lightning, and began to prepare her powerful lightning impact, while Lily summoned herself With her double blades of ice and fire, she raised her head towards the sun (there was no moon at this time) and let out a long wolf howl. After being dizzy by the sunlight, she lowered her head and rushed towards the cliff - Hao Ren quickly stepped forward and pulled her to change direction. The silly girl then rushed towards those rock monsters.

Nangong Wuyue quickly found a safe place to hang out and carefully lowered her hatred value: There was no way, she was just a healer. If she faced ordinary creatures, her sea monster power might be useful, but what about those rock monsters? It doesn't look like there is water in the body, nor does it look like there is a spiritual unit that can be hypnotized by singing...

Hao Ren handed his daughter's pot to Nangong Wuyue and rushed forward with his shield.

Although he doesn't like this kind of inexplicable fighting, he is a man and cannot watch from the side at this time.

"Boom!" Vivian's lightning strike was finally brewing, and two cone-shaped electric lights composed of bat swarms crashed into the stone monster closest to her like two high-explosive warheads. Suddenly, smoke filled the air and gravel splashed everywhere. The huge explosion echoed in the mountains for a long time.

Lily waved her double blades and happily rushed into the explosion range. She wanted to grab people's heads angrily: "Look at my power!"

As a result, she rushed out the next second: "Bat, you are a swindler! Stones don't conduct electricity!"

The mountain wind blew and the smoke dissipated. Sure enough, the rock monster hit by Vivian's lightning strike was still standing there. Although the explosion just now was indeed powerful, a layer of stone was cut off the monster's body, and half of its head was cut off. It was also blown to pieces, with scorch marks and cracks all over its body, but it was still standing, and had already begun to chase Lily, who had just rushed forward recklessly.

It seems that for a stone monster, this kind of injury is nothing at all.

Vivian's lightning shock has two stages of damage. One is the explosion caused by high temperature when two electric cones are bombarded together, and the other is the strong electric shock itself. The latter's lethality to ordinary creatures is simply a natural disaster level. The voltage is as powerful as thunder in nature, but the vampire girl seems to lack the experience to deal with such strange monsters: their resistance is too high, and they seem not to be afraid of exploding...

The advantage of a sneak attack has been lost, and the next step can only be a head-on battle.
