Chapter 1026: Beast Attack
"How could this happen!" Kulu shouted in a hurry: "Come up, come up quickly. `Where are the soldiers? Get someone to inform General Keller, quickly!"
Yumi went in a hurry.
A moment later, a hundred Buck Army soldiers jumped into the lake and sprinkled a pungent yellowish powder on the snakes in the lake. No matter what kind of snake inhales this powder, it will be extremely uncomfortable. Soon, the snakes swam out of the bottom of the lake, scattered into the jungle and disappeared. Although the snakes left, most of the workers in the lake were injured. The snakes at the bottom of the lake may not all be poisonous, but the bites in important places are really harsh.
Naturally, the work in the lake was delayed that day, and most of the workers were injured. A few were unfortunately bitten by a poisonous snake. This sudden accident made Kuru completely lose the excitement in the morning, and he could only wait for tomorrow to continue his work with a sigh.
But who would have expected that in the middle of the night, there would be a rustling sound in the camp. Then someone yelled "The snake is coming again", waking Kuru up from his sleep. When the old man put on his clothes and went out of the tent, he was stopped by two soldiers. Kuru used the light of the fire to see the snakes in the camp, and the scene made people feel dizzy. A few unlucky ones were covered with snakes, like cocoons, and their appearance was even more terrifying. By the time the snakes on them swam away, these people had already turned into corpses.
In the next few days, the rampage of snakes became more and more serious. They are almost everywhere, in the mud at the bottom of the lake, in the trunks of old trees, in the bushes, in the shade of trees... The snakes are like a group of devils, staring at the camp. The soldiers of the Buck Army now sprinkled medicine to repel snakes every day, but as time went by, the number of snakes showed no signs of decreasing, and the snake medicine was almost used up.
In the end, there was no way, General Bloodmane went into battle in person, unleashed his murderous aura in the camp, and the snakes were so frightened that they dared not approach again. In the next two days, no sign of the snakes was finally seen, and the workers started working with confidence.
This afternoon, the air was unbearably hot. `Kuru sat under the wooden shed on the shore of the lake and personally took care of the job site. Seeing that the accumulated rocks at the entrance were gradually cleared away, the suffocation caused by the snakes for several days finally dissipated. There was the sound of footsteps, followed by a figure sitting heavily next to Kuru, and a burst of sweat immediately filled the air. Bloodmane General Keller wiped off his sweat, slightly opened the gap in the chest armor and smiled wryly, "How long will I stay in this ghostly place?"
This middle-aged general, who was well-known in the Bucks Army, had a resolute face, two thick eyebrows full of murderous looks slanting upwards, and a broad chin was tightly wrapped by a light red beard. This circle of beard is the origin of his nickname. Keller has also accumulated a lot of military exploits in the Bucks Army, but he is still the leader of several thousand-man corps. He couldn't even become a Zhenjiang general who commanded a division, and the feeling of aggrieved in his heart was no less than that of Kuru.
Judging from military merit and strength, Keller is fully qualified to be the general of Zhenjiang. It's just that this person is too stupid, and he has strength, but because of his straightforward temper, he offended many high-ranking officials, and he has been suppressed in the military department. This time, he was kicked here to take up the responsibility of protecting the relics mining work in the wild highland.
Not long ago, he even did the job of releasing murderous aura to disperse the snakes, which made Keller feel quite overqualified.
Kuru handed the sympathetic general a fairly clean cup, which contained half a glass of malt wine. The old man showed a row of yellow teeth and said, "Don't even think about going back. I have some wine here. If you don't mind , I invite you to drink a few sips."
Keller took it with a smile, drank the malt wine in the glass, and sighed: "Actually, it's not bad here, don't look at the faces of those people. It's just that this damn place is not for people to stay at all, and it's a good thing to go back sooner." .”
"After going back, continue to be crowded out in the army?" Kuru snorted and said, "General Keller, I'm not afraid to tell you. If this relic proves that it has research value and thus gets the attention of the royal family, then This place will become the second blood king's cemetery. `If you are willing to stay and help me, then I dare say that it is better for you to stay in the wild highlands than to go back and look at people's faces."
"Mr. Kuru, you don't understand." Keller sighed and said, "People like us are idle all day without fighting. It would be nice if there were ruins like the Blood King's Cemetery, at least there would be some ancient ruins." Biology beats time. I'm afraid there's nothing in it, you're busy, and I'll get sick at last... Huh."
Keller stood up suddenly, his face suddenly very serious, and he yelled at Kuru: "Go and stop them, something is here. Damn, it must be a big guy. You have to hide too, Mr. Kuru, I I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of you.” Then he went straight out of the wooden shed, and shouted with enough energy: “The Bucks obey your orders, there are enemies coming. Prepare to fight, prepare to fight!”
The entire Great Lake boiled over this.
The workers were evacuated from the lake bottom operation army, and the Bucks marched into the camp, and according to Keller's request, they laid out a thick battle formation, which was like facing an enemy. When the battle array was set up, ordinary people like Kuru felt a terrible sense of oppression coming towards the camp. The clever Yumi suddenly found that the water in the cup next to him was constantly producing circles and ripples, and then everyone became dizzy dazzled.
That's because the ground is shaking.
A strong vibration, like wild elephants running in groups in the north, can form such a strong vibration at this moment. Kuru couldn't help but grasped the wooden stick in his hand. He had heard that there were several dangerous beasts in the wild highlands. It might be one of them, coming straight to camp now.
Keller squinted his eyes, and the dangerous smell in the humid air became stronger and stronger. Suddenly, he saw a series of noises in the woods opposite the battle formation, and then a giant tree fell, shaking up pieces of dust. Keller took a breath and shouted: "Muske shooters are ready, something is coming. Thick shield soldiers pay attention to protect the shooters, and pikemen are ready to fight at any time."
Under the general's order, the army entered a state of battle. At this moment, a mountain-like figure suddenly bumped out of the dense forest, and the shadow cast by this giant beast covered half of the battle formation. This is a strange beast that looks like a tortoise, if the tortoise is the size of a mountain bag. There are four golden eyeballs on the head of this strange beast, with a thick and angular shell, six short and thick legs supporting the body, and a few fleshy tentacles flying on its back.
If Allen was here, he would recognize the giant beast in front of him as the one that inhabited the great lake that day.
Now this giant beast burst out of the forest, its four eyes shot fiercely, and its tentacles fluttered on its back, whipping towards the stag army's battle formation like a whip.
The shield soldiers in the front row immediately held up the tower shield, but the power of the monster's tentacles was more than a thousand catties. The force that ordinary people could not resist hit the long wall formed by the shield, and several cracks were drawn in the shield wall immediately. , one by one the shield soldiers were carried away by the giant force, screaming everywhere, and kicked off the prelude to the battle.
"Musketeer, focus fire attack!"
Two hundred shooters raised their muskets. The giant beast was so big that it didn't need to aim at any particular place. It just shot fiercely at the oncoming big guy. There was continuous gunfire, and frequent sparks appeared on the giant beast's head, thick shell, and tentacles. But apart from the tentacles blasting the musket with little blood, whether it was the thick shell on the back or the dark purple scales on the head, the bullets of the musket were easily bounced away.
The giant beast roared, and the tentacles on its back suddenly rose like a snake. A cross-shaped gap appeared at the front end, and when the gap opened, it turned out to be mouthparts covered with fleshy teeth. The mouthparts ejected green water jets, and when the water jets broke through, a strong sour smell appeared in the air. Keller changed color and yelled desperately: "Scatter! The front row quickly scatter."
The battle formation split, but it was still three points late. Several jets of miserable green water poured into the crowd, and many soldiers were doused all over. Immediately, the armor was corroded into green smoke, and the battle uniform and skin melted directly. The soldiers who were drenched all over had only time to utter a few short screams before falling to the ground and dying, and their bodies were still melting. Obviously, the water column ejected by the giant beast contains strong concentrated acid!
Keller regretted that he didn't bring those cannons with him back then. It was difficult for ordinary swords and muskets to damage such a giant beast in front of him. Only a battlefield killer like artillery, or a strong man going into battle, can cause damage to it.
At this time, the giant beast was still a hundred meters away from the battle formation, and it stopped suddenly. With six feet on the ground, the body pressed down slightly, and the aura of source power on the body soared, and several lines of lines appeared on the shell of the giant beast. It screamed and opened its mouth wide, a green fire boiling and rolling in its mouth.
"Get out of the way!" Keller's face changed, and he suddenly raised his source power, of course he was so powerful. At this time, the giant beast spit out a beam of pure source power, without any skills or abilities, only brutal destructive power. The beam of light sprayed obliquely towards the ground, plowing a scorched black ravine on the ground, pulling it towards the battle formation of the Buck Army. Keller has already jumped into the air, holding his hands as if they were empty, and smashing them down. Immediately, two light red fists the size of mountain bags descended from the sky.
One hit the miserable green beam of light, causing the continuously spewing beam of light to flicker. After a violent twist, the beam of light exploded, and a series of green fireballs burst into the air one after another. The shock wave of the explosion alone overwhelmed the soldiers of the Buck Army to the ground. The other fist hit the giant beast's head, and the giant beast retracted its big head knowingly and hid in its thick shell.
The giant fist slammed on the shell of the turtle, and a series of ear-piercing noises resounded over the entire Great Lake. The giant beast was even smashed into the ground, and the cracked texture that was squeezed out quickly spread around it centered on it. Immediately, a large piece of woodland undulated and collapsed, countless old trees and ancient trees swayed and fell, and the hustle and bustle of the shaking even blocked the figure of the giant beast.
Keller landed and gasped heavily. Throwing out these two punches in a hurry was extremely difficult for him, and the aura on his body dropped by three points out of thin air. In the thick smoke, the giant beast kept whining, apparently it hid in Guiboli, but Keller's fist still hit it badly.
