Doomsday Harvest of Cthulhu

Chapter 19
The five people who had just escaped from death shuttled through the dark underground cave passages. Ren Xingzhi asked Father Lin En, what kind of magic was that just now, and its power seemed quite strong.

Father Lin En replied modestly: "It's all some small tricks, just condense the energy into a form and release it, young man, you can do it too." Father Lin En patted Ren Xingzhi's shoulder vigorously: "You The power is beyond your imagination."

Ren Xingzhi was almost staggered by the force coming from his shoulder. Ren Xingzhi naturally knew what Father Lin En meant. Since he came back from time travel, he found that the magic power he could manipulate in his body had become more.

He thought that something should have happened before crossing the long river of time, which tempered his will, which caused the magic power in his body to become more abundant.

More magic power means more powerful magic, just like a cannon, the larger the caliber, the stronger the power.

Ren Xingzhi asked Scott, who was leading the way, "Why don't you take out your flashlight, so you don't know what's going on when you walk in the dark."

Both Ren Xingzhi and Allen's flashlights were damaged in the battle, and now only Wipson and Scott have flashlights on them.

Scott said with some pride: "If I don't turn on the flashlight, those deep divers won't be able to see where we are. Although we can't see it, they can't see it either!"

Ren Xingzhi sighed: "Brother, deep divers have night vision, otherwise how do you think deep divers can see in the dark seabed?"

Scott curled his lips, took out the flashlight from his bag and said, "I thought I was smart."

Scott was leading the way with a flashlight, and the five of them walked quickly through the cave passage, and sometimes they could even hear some footsteps not far away.

Scott in front stopped in his tracks, and Wibson behind him was a little caught off guard and bumped into his back. Wipson asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, is there any movement in front?"

Scott said in a low voice, "Shh, do you hear the sound of sea water on the left?"

Everyone listened carefully, and it was true that there was the sound of surging waves on the left. The five of them discussed it and decided to go there first.

After walking for about 5 minutes, a staircase appeared in front of them. After everyone went up, they pushed aside the wooden boards covered above and filed out.

This is an exit, or entrance, under a huge reef by the sea. This reef is as high as a small rockery. If you observe carefully, you can find some human and deep diver's footprints around it.

"This should be one of the entrances." Ren Xingzhi looked towards the sea and muttered, "Those deep divers came from the sea and entered the cave from here."

The five people covered the wooden boards. At this time, the sun was already level with the sea level. Ren Xingzhi looked at his watch and it was past five o'clock in the afternoon. They had spent too long in the underground cave.

Everyone felt hungry and exhausted, and they all planned to go back to Arias' house to rest.

Father Lynn was also invited to Arias' house by everyone on the grounds that the church might be dangerous.

"This is the price of your betrayal!" A deep-sounding voice startled the five people who were about to leave the reef.

Five people tiptoed and hid beside the reef, looking in the direction of the sound.

I saw a deep diver with a body of more than two meters and holding a huge wooden stick. There were some carvings on the head of the wooden stick, but it was a bit unclear from a little distance.

The deep diver was also covered with the fur of some unknown animals.Then the deep diver spoke again: "Today is the day of reckoning!"

The deep diver spoke human language, which everyone could understand, and the man holding a large shotgun in front of the deep diver turned out to be the bartender that Wepson and Allen had met before.

Scott said: "Shall we do it? It looks like a big melon."

Ren Xingzhi took out his long knife and said, "Let's kill the deep diver first."

Wepson had already loaded the shotgun, and Allen also took out a pistol. While the deep diver was fighting with the bartender, Wepson and Alan had already shot the bullet into the abyss. diver.

The bullets of the pistol were completely bounced aside by the scales, but the power of the shotgun bullets was considerable. Not only did it lift off a large scale, but some bullets were deeply embedded in the flesh.

The deep diver turned around and said, "Humans, I admire your courage."

Then a pale green thick fog rose from the beach, rising from the gravel, and soon enveloped the entire beach. The fog was so thick that even the long knife in his hand could not be seen clearly.

Only the voice of the bartender sounded in the thick fog: "L'lyye's fog-making technique, be careful around you!"

Ren Xingzhi quietly felt the sounds around him, only to hear the sound of a wooden stick hitting his body from behind, and then he heard a muffled groan, and the sound of his body falling on the beach.

Ren Xingzhi listened nervously, and walked slowly towards the direction of the sound, not letting go of any small movements. In the dense fog here, he was like a lone sail on the sea, ready to welcome calls from all directions at any time. attack.

Holding the knife in both hands, he suddenly swung it sideways. The long knife parried the heavy blow from the wooden stick from the side, but the powerful force crushed Ren Xingzhi to the ground.

Ren Xingzhi could even feel the long knife in his hand trembling, and it was about to break apart due to the pressure.

Boom, boom, the sound of two shotguns, the bartender and Wepson came out of the thick fog, walking slowly side by side, shooting while walking, and the barrage hit the deep diver's back one after another.

The deep diver roared, and the long knife in Ren Xingzhi's hand shattered, and then he was hit in the chest by a wooden club, and was sent flying to the beach beside him.

Ren Xingzhi immediately felt an incomparable pain and suffocation. The suffocation was not caused by pain or fracture, but a kind of drowning suffocation.

He felt that sea water was constantly coming out of his lungs, slowly filling his lungs. Ren Xingzhi knelt on the beach, coughing continuously, and a lot of sea water was spit out from his mouth.

At this time, someone patted him on the back and helped him to induce vomiting. After spitting out some sea water, Ren Xingzhi lay on his back on the beach, looked at the bartender and Wepson beside him and asked, "The deep diver Woolen cloth?"

Wipsen raised his hand to signal Ren Xingzhi to look. The deep diver had large bullet wounds on his abdomen and back, and was lying quietly on the beach, apparently dead.

"Thanks to the fact that Fischer's shotgun is a large caliber and special bullet, otherwise it would be hard to say today." Wipsen put his arms around the bartender next to him and said, it seems that Fischer is the name of the bartender .

The two helped Ren Xingzhi up, checked a little, and found that thanks to Ren Xingzhi's good health, there was no fracture.But Scott on the other side was not so lucky.

He was supported by Father Lynn and Allen and leaned against the rock beside him. He clutched his chest, his face pale.There was still some seawater flowing out from the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he was hit by the deep diver just like Ren Xingzhi.

The three of them walked over and surrounded Scott for inspection. Allen shook his head and said, "The fourth to sixth ribs are probably all broken. You have to go to the hospital to find out the exact extent of the break."

Ren Xingzhi said: "Let's make a stretcher and carry him back. I'll send him back to Arkham early tomorrow morning for treatment."

"This city is too dangerous, I'm afraid," Allen said.

Father Lynn on the side took out the Bible from his pocket, read a few words silently, and then put his hand on Scott's ribs, causing Scott to grin his teeth in pain.

Father Lynn murmured, a gentle white light emanated from his hand.Scott felt numbness in his ribs, and then twisted his body to find that there was no pain at all. It seemed that he had been healed.

Just as Scott was about to thank Father Lynn, he saw blood dripping from the corner of Father Lynn's mouth, and fell down with a muffled grunt.
