dark blood

Time passed by every minute and every second, and at some point, the surrounding forest became silent.At midnight, the exhausted people finally began to gradually fall asleep under the attack of drowsiness.

Holding a huge round shield, Jin Shi was lying on his side behind the trunk of a big tree that fell sideways. It was already midnight, and it was supposed to be Xiao Yu's turn to keep watch, but he didn't wake Xiao Yu up immediately, and of course he didn't want to go. wake him up.Because Jin Shi knew very well that Xiao Yu was definitely the most injured and also the most tired one among the crowd. He needed to rest now, and no one had enough ability to lead this group of people out of the forest except him.

There were five other people who watched the night together, and three or four of them fell asleep unconsciously, but Jin Shi didn't blame him and let them fall asleep.He was still holding the big shield, and he worked harder to cheer up, listening to the movement around him with bated breath, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The forest shrouded in darkness is a bit cold. A full moon hangs high in the night sky, shedding a faint cold light, bringing a thin layer of light. When the wind blows, the branches and leaves sway, and the ground is mottled with light and shadow.Before he knew it, Jin Shi's consciousness also began to shake a little, he found out in time, and immediately pinched himself hard to keep himself awake enough.

At this time, a person who was sitting next to him to watch the night slowly stood up from his squatting body, habitually poked his head out, and took a few glances outside to confirm that there was nothing abnormal, but when he moved his head out At the moment of the cover, an unexpected shock happened.

No warning!

Puchi!

A barbed pink object shot straight into the eye socket, blood burst out, and the huge penetrating force made a small hole in the back of the head.The unlucky man didn't even hum, he convulsed a few times and then fell silent.Jin Shi, who was half lying on the bottom, just happened to see the scene where his head was pierced, and red and white things were flying all over the sky. The thick blood even splashed all over his face. The warm liquid full of bloody smell instantly dispelled his drowsiness. .His eyes widened and he let out a hysterical roar.

"There are monsters—!"

This is a group of ugly monsters, a group of gray lizards, each of which is the size of a wolf dog.One of the lizards spit out a two-meter-long pink tongue full of barbs, which pierced the man's eye socket and shattered his skull.

call out!

At the same time that Jinshi sounded the alarm, the tongue suddenly contracted and brought the lifeless body over. The giant lizard opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouth full of fangs, and easily crushed the entire skull with one bite. Several lizards around also quickly surrounded it. Come up, desperately snatching food.The muffled thunderous sound of Jinshi had already exploded in the woods, and no one fell asleep, and woke up immediately when they heard the cry.He hurriedly picked up his weapon and stood up, making a defensive posture.

Jin Shi turned over and jumped, and stepped on the fallen tree trunk with both feet. He only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and two shadows shot towards him like lightning.Jinshi reacted in time, raised the goblin shield twice, blocked the two spurting tongues, and then roared and jumped towards the lizards. The wandering lizards immediately panicked when they saw him. Run away.A rocky right arm fell heavily on a gray lizard. Under the huge impact, the ground was shaken. A depression was formed in the mud, and the internal organs of the lizard were squeezed out. into patties.

"They're not very powerful!"

Jin Shi felt relieved, but when the next scene imprinted in his eyes, the trace of luck that had just been born was instantly wiped out.In the pitch-black forest, countless red lights appeared, one pair, two pairs, ten pairs, one hundred pairs... In the blink of an eye, scarlet eyes lit up in patches, extremely dense and spread over a wide area. Hundreds, even thousands of them... Just looking at such a scene makes people feel scalp numb.

The others were carrying short spears and wooden shields and were ready to fight, but when they saw the surrounding situation clearly, they were immediately stunned, without exception, gasped, and suddenly felt a sense of despair.

With such a large number, how to fight this?

"Fatty, stone, help me build obstacles." Xiao Yu picked up a huge tree trunk more than 20 meters long and could only be carried by two people with both hands, and a sweeping army came, sweeping several leaping lizards away.

Han Kexin's voice sounded, "We can't stop it, let's kill it!"

"There are too many, there is no way to break through, but to defend." Xiao Yu waved the huge tree trunk and retreated quickly, "Don't panic, these lizards are just large in number, they are not difficult to deal with. Block them, don't let them approach! "

Wang Chao and Jin Shi retreated quickly. They each picked up a 20-meter-long tree, swept it several times, and slapped away the lizard that was trying to get close. Break, use the three largest broken logs to form a triangle, and more than 20 people stand back to back in the middle of the triangle.

Xiao Yu looked at the lizards coming from all directions like a tide, and ordered loudly: "Stand in two circles, the people outside squat halfway, and the Zhan Li inside, hold your shields tightly and hold on!"

Han Kexin quickly organized and said: "No, they are coming soon! Do as Xiao Yu said, hurry up! Wang Chao, Jin Shi, you come back, Xiaowen, you stand inside."

Under the organization of Han Kexin, the crowd quickly divided into two groups. The first group squatted down in front of the broken wood holding wooden shields and short spears. The spear made a defensive posture, and in the triangle formed by three broken logs surrounded by several people, more than 20 people surrounded them with wooden shields to form an iron-like defense.Xiao Yu, Wang Chao, and Jin Shi each stood at a corner.

Hundreds of lizards emerged from all directions, surrounded the crowd, they did not choose to attack directly, they circled around the triangular position, as if looking for the best attack point, but the defense of the group of people in front of them It was very tight, and everyone hid in the wooden shield.

"Fizz!"

More than a dozen lizards couldn't bear it and rushed up first, spitting out their long tongues with powerful piercing power in midair. There were a few muffled sounds, but they were successfully resisted, and sharp short spears shot out from the gaps in the shield, instantly piercing through the lizard corpses in the air.

These gray lizards are very powerful zero-level monsters. Their individual strength is several times stronger than that of goblin slaves, but they are not considered strong. However, they are numerous, cunning, organized, and very difficult to deal with.The lizard let out an angry roar and stopped its walking steps. The hundreds of gray lizards didn't retreat in spite of the difficulties, but stopped suddenly.

This is the calm before the storm... The instantly frozen atmosphere is simply suffocating.

Hundreds of lizards lined up in a neat line, their scarlet eyes staring at the mere 20 humans, their long tails flicked, and they slapped the ground regularly, "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" With a neat and dull sound, a large dead leaf was shaken off, just like the sound of a war drum, the sound was frightening.

Jin Shi asked, "Fuck, what does that mean, what are they doing?"

Xiao Yu said calmly: "They want to overwhelm us in terms of momentum, intending to make us collapse before we fight, or have a loophole in our defense, so that they can take advantage of it."

Wang Chao yelled, "I'm an old lady, I know how to play tricks!"

Hundreds of gray lizards the size of wolfdogs kept flicking their tails and slapping the ground, making rhythmic dull loud noises, but the group of more than 20 people was unmoved.The gray monitor lizard seemed a little impatient, the sound of its tail slapping the ground changed from slow to rapid, from rhythmic to messy.

Holding the long knife in one hand, Xiao Yu reminded: "Get ready, they are going to attack!"

"hiss--!"

Accompanied by a series of hissing, the gray lizards that had stopped moving forward surged like a tide, and the huge force hit the wooden shield, making a dull loud noise, but none of the people present had been strengthened, and their strength was stronger than that of ordinary people. It is several times stronger and can barely withstand it.

Short spears thrust out from the gaps in the shield, killing a dozen gray lizards at once.

All the gray lizards that were stabbed to death were immediately dragged back by the tails of the companions biting them, and then seven or eight of the same kind surrounded them, gnawing their corpses to pieces in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xiaowen was very shocked, "They are actually eating the injured kind!"

Xiao Yu replied loudly: "It's normal. This kind of lizard has a very strong reproductive ability. Dozens of lizards can multiply to thousands in just a few years. The strong reproductive ability leads to very cruel competition within the race. Weak, seriously injured or dead ones will be devoured by strong ones without exception. They will never stop hunting until they are full. So we must continue to stick to it, as long as most of the lizards are full, Naturally, we will retreat, and we will be safe!"

Han Kexin: "What a terrifying species!"

Xiao Yu said lightly: "No, everything is for survival!"

A dozen or so lizards were submerged in the turbulent lizard swarm in a blink of an eye, and even the dregs were left in the blink of an eye. The lizard swarm launched a fierce attack again, and dozens of hundreds of lizards rushed forward bravely. Under the violent impact, the wooden shield made thunderous noises. Tongue arrows, which were not inferior to bullets, attacked repeatedly, and some of them penetrated the gaps in the wooden shield to attack the people inside.

Han Kexin pierced a lizard with a short goblin spear, and immediately drained it dry with a blood sacrifice. A confused red mist covered the surroundings, allowing the wounds of several people to heal quickly.

The lizards who failed to attack and were stabbed were instantly dragged and captured by their own kind. Some of them were still screaming in despair, but their companions didn't care about this, they gnawed on the loser mercilessly There was a "click" sound on his body, it was the sound of bones being crushed.
