Doomsday Harvest of Cthulhu

Chapter 18 The Family of the Stars
In this cave, there are seven or eight passages leading here, and half of the cave area is occupied by this pool. After five people inspected it carefully, they found that there was no survivor.

The pool was filled with broken limbs and arms, and the strong smell of blood and corpses made everyone cover their mouths and noses.There are also some incomprehensible spells drawn around the pool.

The incantation has been dimmed, and it seems that there is no magic power filling it.

Scott said, "Is this a sacrifice?"

Ren Xingzhi nodded and said, "Yes, it looks like it was done by people from the Dagon Esoteric Cult. It is probably a sacrifice to the father god Dagon they believe in."

Vipson said angrily: "These bastards are really inhuman, damn it!"

Allen said lightly: "They are no longer considered human beings. Don't be merciful when killing them, or you will be a part of this." He glanced at the pool of blood next to him.

Scott couldn't bear the sight a little, and kept retching.Ren Xingzhi had already seen many such scenes before time travelling, and his heart had gradually become numb, and what was left was only infinite hatred for the cultists.

Father Lynn suddenly interrupted everyone and said, "Shh, hide quickly, someone is coming."

Everyone tiptoed against the wall and hid in a shadow.

I only saw two men in black robes and two deep divers coming out of the passage they came from. The deep divers were not as strong as the one they met at the beginning, and they seemed to be about the same size as Allen.

The two men in black robes and the deep diver walked up to the blood pool, and began to mutter words. The deep diver's throat issued a burst of esoteric notes, and the man in black did the same, but he was not as fluent as the deep diver. .

Wipsen muttered in a low voice: "This big-headed murloc can still talk?"

Ren Xingzhi recalled what he had read in the book before, and said slowly: "The deep divers are an extremely mature race, and they have lived in the oceans of the earth hundreds of millions of years ago."

"Also, they have an extremely long lifespan, which is basically immortality for human beings. They are highly intelligent and have a mature social system. By the way, the language they speak is Raliyah, and the two men in black robes probably speak the same language. .”

Wipsen nodded and said: "Since we have already asked this, what is the composition of the Dagon Esoteric Cult? Are they all human beings? I think there are still deep divers."

Allen added on the side: "The Dagon Esoteric Cult is composed of human beings, and they believe in the father god Dagon and the mother god Hydera of the deep divers, and in the Dagon Esoteric religion there are also people who mate with the deep divers to form half-divers. Deep Diver."

Wimpson asked suspiciously: "Half-deep diver? What does that look like? A mermaid?"

Allen continued: "It would be great if it was that good-looking. Half-deep divers are almost human when they are born. When they reach their teens, their appearance will be closer to those of deep divers until they gradually become like deep divers. "

Wipson smashed his mouth, then glanced at the two people who were kneeling and talking, and made a downward swinging motion with their hands like knives.

Ren Xingzhi nodded, and made a few gestures to tell everyone to touch it quietly, not to shoot, so as not to surprise more people.

Five people surrounded them in a semicircle. Everyone drew out their long knives and prepared to slash at their necks. When Ren Xingzhi raised his long knives, a deep diver in front of him suddenly turned his head, his white eyes stared at Ren Xingzhi. Xingzhi's heart twitched.

However, Ren Xingzhi did not hesitate at all, and the long knife in his hand slashed at the deep diver's face, leaving a long knife mark.

The remaining two men in black robes and the other deep diver didn't react, their necks were cut open with long knives by the rest of them, and they hated Northwest on the spot.

The remaining deep diver hugged Ren Xingzhi's waist, jumped forward, pressed him to the ground, and raised his hand to slap Ren Xingzhi's face.

At the moment when his hand was raised, Father Lin En put his arm around the neck of the deep diver and strangled it back severely. Take a knife.

The long knife pierced through, and the deep diver lost all life. The scales of this deep diver were also cyan, but not dark cyan like the ones we met at first, and the hardness was also slightly lower.

Ren Xingzhi pushed away the deep diver on his body, Alan and Wipson pulled him up, Ren Xingzhi patted the dirt on his body, and said, "Let's go, we have to see if the statue is here. "

Just when everyone was about to leave here and set off towards another passage, everyone suddenly heard some noise coming from above their heads.

It was an octopus-like creature that looked to be three to four meters long. It had wings on its back, and densely packed tentacles under its octopus head. The tentacles were attached to the wall above and were slowly moving towards them.

Scott said tremblingly, "It looks a bit like that statue."

Father Lynn patted Scott on the shoulder next to him and said, "Don't worry, this creature is not Cthulhu itself, but its subordinate race. We call it the Star Family."

With a bang, the creature above the cave jumped down and hit the ground hard.Obviously only about three meters in size, but it caused a huge impact.

Everyone could clearly feel that even the ground trembled, and only then were they able to see the whole picture of the creature clearly, smooth skin, hideous tentacled face, hideous wings, flying tentacles, everyone stood upside down with goose bumps all over their bodies. .

Ren Xingzhi had seen the introduction of this kind of creature in the book before. At that time, he didn't feel much emotion when he saw it, but when the creature really appeared in front of his eyes, he realized the impact of this creature. How big is it.

Ren Xingzhi clearly understands how strong this creature is, and he doesn't have any weapons that can cause damage to this star family, so he plans to use 36 strategies - the best way to go.

"Run, stay away from this guy!" Ren Xingzhi beckoned his companions to get into the closest passage to them.

Everyone didn't dare to be negligent. They had no doubt that if they were caught by this guy, their fate would be the same as that of the people in the blood pool.

The Star Family looks huge and cumbersome, but it moves extremely quickly.Its tentacles stretched out, and it wrapped around the arm of Alan at the end of the team. Alan had no room to resist, and was pulled back.

Father Lin En had quick eyesight and quick hands, and hugged Alan, but the power of the Star Family was too great, and Father Lin En couldn't hold Alan back.

Allen took the dagger he carried with him to cut the tentacle, and found that the tentacle didn't move at all.Just when Allen was about to be drawn in front of the Star Family.

Father Lynn clasped his hands together, and a strong wind condensed from in front of him. The strong wind condensed into a blade and flew towards the tentacles, cutting off the tentacles at an extremely fast speed.

Allen also took the opportunity to break free and ran towards the passage, and the Star Family came from behind waving their wings, just as Allen had just entered the passage.

The huge body of the Star Family hit the entrance of the passage, and the stones beside the passage were smashed to pieces, and the splashed gravel even scratched Alan's neck, but fortunately, the aorta was not injured.

Allen sat on the ground gasping for breath, thankful that the entrance to the passage was narrow and the family of the stars could not enter.The body of the Star Family began to shrink gradually, and slowly squeezed into it.

Seeing this, everyone pulled up Alan on the ground, turned around and ran away collectively, and escaped into the endless darkness.
