Chapter 878: The Demon Shadow Reappears
"Buzz ......"
It was as if someone had blown a horn underwater, and a low and penetrating voice came out clearly, and the ordinary guards who were still standing on the ice were stunned, not realizing what the situation was.
The two guards, an old man and a young man who had talked before, were also among them, and the veteran was only slightly stunned, and then his face changed greatly, and he grabbed his companion's clothes and ran away!
"Oops...... What happened to Big Brother? The young soldier was dragged and hurriedly asked.
"There's something underwater, run!"
As he spoke, the veteran had already let go of his hand and began to run wildly, as if twenty vicious dogs were about to bite his buttocks, and his panicked appearance did not look like a writer.
Although the young man was confused, the experience in the barracks taught him that it was always right to follow the veteran on the battlefield, and he followed immediately.
The others hesitated slightly, and some people also sensed danger and hurriedly followed, while the rest hesitated for a few seconds and missed the only chance to escape.
By the time they reacted, it was too late.
"Whoa......
The deafening sound of water waves mixed with the sound of ice breaking, instantly sounded in everyone's ears, in front of dozens of guards, a huge black figure pulled up from the ice hole, and the blood basin mouth closed one by one, with a radius of more than ten meters of ice and more than a dozen fish-men swallowed into the mouth.
The thing was so big that it jumped out of the water so straight and straight that the surrounding ice was immediately shattered, and then spread out at an unimaginable speed - the gray-white ice was like a thick tablecloth, and it was dragged by a giant and shook violently.
Unfortunately, the ice was not as soft as a tablecloth, and after shaking, it shattered into countless speeds, and dozens of guards who had not had time to run to the shore of the lake screamed and fell into the water without incident.
"Ah......h
"Poof!"
The winter water of the lake was bitterly cold, and the soldiers who fell into the water screamed in horror, desperately trying to climb up the smooth ice, and then it was all in vain, but many people were caught in the middle of the broken giant ice, and in an instant the flesh and blood were blurred.
An old man and a young man who will run to the shore looked at the scene in front of them and were shocked.
"Wow~"
The huge black shadow rushed out of the water again, tilted its head to the side and opened its mouth, and then a crunch sound was heard, and together with the ice cubes and several guards there, they chewed twice and swallowed them all.
This time, the big guy crashed into the ice next to him, and after being blocked for such a short time, everyone saw each other's appearance clearly.
The creature was covered in ugly bumps of various sizes, with a crocodile-like head, but a distinctly smaller mouth, which also gave it a strong chewing ability, and dark webbed claws on its two front paws, with sharp claws between them, clung to the ice.
However, this image only paused in the field of vision, and the next moment, the ice surface was crushed by its massive body, and as the water splashed, the mysterious beast sank into the water again.
Several surviving guards were stunned for a moment when they saw this scene.
"That'...... What is that? The young soldier muttered, wondering whether he was asking others or himself.
"I don't know ......"
The veteran looked incredulous, shook his head, and said, "I've never seen anything like that in the Banyan Grassland......"
A few people here were just shocked, and Tang Jie's troops moved over there.
"Array, prepare for battle!!"
With the shouts of the commander, the cavalry of nearly two hundred men quickly formed a formation, and the spears shimmered in the cold light of the moonlight, aiming in the direction of the lake; Behind the cavalry, several black-robed NPCs stood silently, staring ahead.
Looking at it like this, it seems that Tang Jie is sure that the fish people will flee to the water's edge.
The veteran looked puzzled, the trolls just now were terrifying, but the fishmen were good at swimming, as long as they spread around, the trolls might not be able to get up to many fishmen.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard a small sound of water in the lake, and the veteran suddenly turned around, only to see hundreds of fishmen emerging from the water, swimming towards the cavalry on the shore of the water, like moths to a fire.
The surviving guards who watched such a scene couldn't help but be surprised, but soon everyone's doubts were answered, only to see that behind the fishman, countless scarlet-eyed black shadows were densely bursting out of the water, opening their big mouths and going straight to the fishman's back!
The moonlight was dim, and it was impossible to see the appearance of these things, except for the hoarse hiss of the lake water, mixed with the angry roars of the fish people and the sounds of battle, as if they were terribly afraid of these little things.
When the fishmen ran closer, the veteran saw that it was actually some loach-like creatures that had been magnified dozens of times, with red eyes and sharp teeth, as long as they bit the fishman, they would inevitably tear off a large piece of meat, and they were not afraid of the fishman's weapons, and they were extremely fierce.
The veteran was stunned, and the image of a creature that he had seen in an ancient book when he was young suddenly flashed into his mind, and the startled veteran trembled, and his hair stood upside down, and he kicked on the young companion who was still stunned.
"If you want to live, go quickly!"
The veteran snorted, and regardless of whether the young soldier had listened or not, he immediately turned around and crawled quickly towards the woods on the island.
The young soldier was choked by the scene in front of him, and after listening to the words of the old soldier, he hurriedly followed, and at the same time forgot to glance at it from a distance, Tang Jie's cavalry team was waiting for him, as if no one was paying attention to this side.
However, when he entered the woods and saw that the veteran was still running wildly, the young soldier did not understand: "Where to run, no matter how far you go, you will be regarded as a deserter!" ”
"If you can save your life, what about the deserters?"
The veteran turned his head with a hint of surprise in his cold expression, and the young man couldn't help but turn his heart over when he saw this.
I don't know why, knowing that the end of being a deserter is very serious, the young soldier's footsteps did not stop, but he just whispered: "But ......"
"Don't talk yet!"
The veteran said in a deep voice, running faster under his feet, and the young soldier followed closely, and at this time there was already a high-pitched shouting of killing from the rear, and it was obvious that the two sides had already fought each other.
However, not long after it started, there was a ball of sky-high flames, and a violent shock wave came along the earth, which only made people feel numb on the soles of their feet, and looking at the location of the explosion, it seemed that they were still in the cavalry, and they didn't know what was going on.
But now he could only follow the veteran and run wildly, until he rushed out for thousands of meters and came to another secluded waterfront, and the veteran stopped.
"Take a break...... Call...... Prepare to cross the lake," the veteran gasped.
"What the hell is going on?"
With a question mark in his belly, the young soldier finally had a chance to ask, "What was going on just now?" I see that the cavalry is very calm, what are we running ......"
"If it weren't for your brother entrusting you to me, I wouldn't have bothered to take you away!"
The veteran glanced back at his companion and said in a deep voice, "I don't know about that big guy, but I really see the thing chasing after the fishmen, it's the siphon devilfish." ”
The young soldier and the second monk were puzzled: "What is it?" ”
"Demons." The veteran took a deep breath and said slowly.
