Chapter 252 Apes and Moths (33)

It turned out that when Patrick appeared and Ian took Isengard's strategic shift and escaped into the sea, the pirates ceased fire with the exploration ship.

The former knew that his target was the two escaped teenagers, while the latter wished to be invisible in the sea. God knows that going to sea this time would not only toss in a big storm, but also be targeted by a whole pirate fleet and second-level powerhouses , is too exciting.

Of course, the more important reason is the storm itself - losing the captain's seat, as well as the protection of Master Goser and Ian, the pirate fleet is just struggling to support, and the exploration ship with only one Wavesinger is only able to protect the ship Don't capsize in the waves.

However, no matter how hard the Wavesonger on the exploration ship tried, it was meaningless to face the door of the ruins that suddenly opened afterwards.

Both the exploration ship and the pirate fleet were swallowed into the ruins, and because their targets were too large, the automatically adjusted water flow divided them into a water inlet of the same size. After a burst of rough waves, they followed a flood for some reason. The incomparable cave fell into the ice abyss.

"At the beginning, we and the pirates were still confronting each other... But in the end, from a junction above the glacier, a lot of disgusting parasitic monsters and big bugs suddenly sprang out!"

"In order to save our lives, we and the pirates had to rely on ships as bunkers to fight those parasitic monsters."

"It's just that the shells are limited, we have to find a way out, otherwise we will just be consumed by monsters and die in place - just so we noticed that there was an abnormal vibration coming from the direction where you are, the guide, so the two of us sent out to observe the situation ... There are people from other directions to observe."

Lan Fan and Tie Shou spoke alternately, and quickly recounted the matter roughly.

At first, Lan Fan was still a little surprised, why the iron hand, who was clearly considered an elite fighter, would respect the young man in front of him so much.

But soon, he also knew the reason.

"I see. Tieshou, Yisen and Master Gosai are right behind, you go and help him lead the way."

After listening, Ian nodded. He gave Yisen's guard a word, then asked about the location of the fleet, and then jumped up.

In just an instant, his figure disappeared, making Lan Fan's eyes widen, unable to catch the other party's location for a while.

"This is the first energy level?!"

It took several seconds before he saw the figure that had leapt 300 meters away in the blizzard of the ice abyss, and he couldn't help swallowing ice scum: "This speed..."

"Don't read, I don't understand."

After fighting side by side, Tie Shou and Lan Fan became familiar. When he heard that the young master and Master Gesai were still there, he couldn't help feeling ecstatic, but when he carefully tasted Ian's tone, he felt a little uneasy.

——If Master Gesai is in normal condition... do you still need a guide to lead the battle?
The tall guard knight turned his head, looked in the direction of the artillery fire, and shook his head: "If something happens to Master Gosai, even the strength of the guide... I'm afraid it won't be able to reverse the situation."

After all, they have a deep understanding of the strength of those weird and deformed creatures and bugs—as a group of monsters that is almost a group of monsters, the combat intelligence of the opponent is almost like some kind of man-made biological weapon.

That is definitely not a disadvantage that can be changed by one person and a sword!
at the same time.

The ruins of the ice abyss, an extremely cold place.

Howling winds and ice and snow swept across the entire ice abyss, and the pale and dim light shone on the wrecks of the ships, covering them with a faint white glow.

And under such brilliance, Qingchao, a sea-born swordsman holding a long sword, was stationed on the periphery of the front line.

Relying on the remains of the ship and the ice wall as positions, a group of pirates and crew are manipulating the alchemy cannons that have been brought down, nervously confronting the deformed monsters and swarms that are waiting for their opportunity not far away.

Arms and two feet, walking upright, covered with white fluff, even the eyes are covered by the fluff, the ape beast looks like a human, but no one would call this monster full of rugged calcified tissue and solid sarcoma a human, The overgrowth of fur that oozes from their cuticles is resistant to the harsh cold of the Ice Depths.

And behind these deformed beasts, there are groups of huge white moths.

Apes and moths seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact, Qing Chao knows very well that they are actually one.

"It's changed! The group of abnormal beasts have started to hatch again!"

Behind them, the panicked voice of the pirate observer came, and the voice of the survey team observer was almost the same fear: "After eating some of the same kind of flesh...they started to hatch again!"

The monsters hide in the corners of ice mounds and sunken ice cirques that can't be directly attacked by artillery, and only observers looking at them from the height of the mast can observe their movements.

The truth is exactly what they say.

As the white-haired apes continued to devour the corpses of the same kind that died last time they attacked the position, as well as the corpses of soldiers who died from the pirates and the exploration fleet, their bodies gradually became stronger and dried up, followed by cracks.

In the cracks, one can vaguely see pink and white tapeworms wriggling in the flesh and blood under the epidermis. These slender tapeworms absorb nutrients in the body of the ape beast, and then come into contact with the cold wind, and quickly begin to change form and harden. It is an ice-white bone cocoon.

The skin was cracked, and the apes hatched from cocoons in their bodies didn't realize it, they were still eating flesh and blood, and their appearance was extremely frenzied-they would soon completely become a frozen cocoon of flesh and blood, and the larvae of the big white moth Will crawl out of the cocoons their corpses turn into.

But not all the apes could hatch completely. Most of the losers burst open in an extremely painful howl, and many worms collapsed from their deformed and rotting flesh, melted into white pulp, and died in the cold. Turned into a frozen corpse under the wind.

Immediately afterwards, it was the next batch of monster food gushing out from the hole in the distance.

"spit."

Qing Chao knew very well that this was the harbinger of the next attack. His saliva quickly froze in the icy wind, but this could not freeze the anger and fighting spirit in the Whale Song Cliff warrior's heart: "It's no worse than a sea monster worm." Difficult to deal with... There are only a few people who bully us!"

Ever since they accidentally came to the ice abyss deep in the maze, before the crew of the exploration ship had time to fight with the pirates who arrived here, they encountered this continuous group of deformed apes and giant insects that appeared from nowhere.

They seemed to have other goals and were marching in the ice field, but when they saw the crowd, they became mad and launched a surprise attack, forcing the two sides to join forces and use the wreckage of the ship and artillery to fight back.

Yes, every shelling will take away the abnormal beast and a strange moth, but the shells are limited, and the number of monsters... It seems that it is still increasing.

It's okay to say that the deformed apes are ordinary people with relatively strong strength, and the weaker ones are even slightly inferior. As long as there are a few sublimators blocking the gap between the shipwreck and the ice wall, they can keep it airtight.

But those huge white fluffy moths can team up to flap their wings, manipulate wind, snow and ice cones to hurt people, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

Soon, the monster's offensive began.

The ice and snow became active due to the flapping of the big moth, and even the ice and snow in the wind turned into fist-sized hailstones, which fell far away towards the people in the position—and on the ground, groups of apes roared hoarsely and piercingly , charging towards the position, although he has no rules, he is crazy and brave.

Boom boom boom!
The artillery fired, bullets flew across the air, and even the wind became scorching hot for a short while. The high-explosive warheads fell on the group of apes and beasts, and immediately blasted them into a bloody mess, whether it was the apes themselves or those lurking in them. All the tapeworms in the flesh and blood died instantly.

However, the artillery fire in the position is not as dense as it was at the beginning. Under the severe cold and the big moth, several artillery pieces have been damaged out of control and cannot be used.

The missed apes had already rushed to the front of the position, exuding a stench and bloody smell that was not easy to smell in the freezing environment.

Qing Chao shook his head, he raised his sword.

It's time to fight.
