Chapter 76 Aliens
There were seven humanoid monsters in total, their faces were blue or purple, reflecting the red light of the flames, looking extremely strange.
One of the faces had become blurred, as if the facial features had been wiped away by some unknown force.
At least one of the arms of these 'people' disappeared, replaced by thick black tentacles.
The strongest monster was more than two meters tall, had no legs below the waist, and had four or five tentacles growing out of it.
Crown saw that the pupils of these monsters disappeared, and the eyeballs were covered with clusters of red, yellow, blue and other colored filaments. He could even clearly see that the filaments were still twisting.
The monsters stretched their heads, opened their mouths wide, and made hissing sounds.
The volume is not loud, but it is very penetrating, and it feels like a snake crawling through the grass.
"Wow, my God, what did I see? How did old Jon become like this, and also Qiao Ya?" Baru stood on tiptoe and exclaimed after seeing the situation outside.
"Shoot," Crown shouted, and the sound echoed far away in the quiet night.
Even though these monsters were once friends of some people, no one hesitated, and those with crossbows took aim.
After experiencing the coming of the gray fog, the combat skills of these ordinary people have improved significantly. The progress from nothing to something is always so obvious.
The monsters roared and rushed towards the wall. The randomly placed wooden stakes outside significantly reduced their speed, but also affected the accuracy of these unskilled crossbowmen, and most of the crossbow arrows were nailed on the wooden stakes.
The arrow body was deeply embedded in the wooden stake, and the tail was still vibrating "buzzing".
Occasionally, crossbow arrows would hit the monsters, but they would continue moving forward as if they felt no pain.
Crown drew his revolver, aimed at the head of the strongest monster, and shot it as it passed through a gap between several wooden stakes.
When the gunshots rang out, the monster's skull was blown open by the bullet.
Just like opening a magic box, dense yellow tentacles burst out, emitting fluorescent lights, like a blooming anemone. The monster's movements paused slightly.
"Bang, bang", two more gunshots were heard.
This time, Crown aimed at the center of the anemone. In his opinion, the place that originally contained the brain matter should still be the monster's weakness.
All the bullets hit the intended targets, but the monster showed no signs of stopping and instead roared in his direction.
Is it true that the brain is no longer their weak point?
This thought flashed through his mind, and at the same time, he pulled the trigger again, blowing up the eyeball of the motionless, roaring monster without having to calculate the movement trajectory at all.
This time, two black tentacles emerged from the monster's eye sockets, as long as an adult's arm and as thick as a thumb.
There was no expression on the monster's face. It reached out and pulled out a black whisker, put it in its mouth and chewed it, and green liquid burst out.
"Ugh," a young man next to him squatted down and leaned against the wooden wall, making a retching sound.
Seeing that guns were ineffective, Crown felt that even if he could shoot the monster into a hedgehog, it would probably not cause fatal damage.
He holstered his pistol, drew his sword and shouted, "Hold the firing."
Following his order, the Night Watchmen stopped their long-range attacks. He held onto the gap between the tips of the two wooden stakes and jumped lightly out of the wall.
Crown stepped on the wooden stakes as if they were flat ground and rushed forward with his sword.
When the monsters saw someone jumping out, they all rushed over here.
The monster, who was chewing enthusiastically, snatched the snack away and actually jumped onto the wooden stake, pouncing on the person with bared fangs and claws. The tentacles on its head and waist were flying, like a chrysanthemum with black edges and yellow stamens.
When he jumped out of the wall, Crown had already activated bullet time.
He wanted to catch a living one and dissect it to find out where the weakness of this mutated human was. Every living creature has weaknesses, and one just needs a pair of eyes that are good at discovering them.
Klauen's sword swung in a circle around the monster.
There was a flash of cold light, and the Night Watchmen who were watching the battle only saw a flash before their eyes, and then they saw the knight dodging to the side to another high wooden stake.
When they looked again, they saw that the deformed monster had lost most of its tentacles and arms and had fallen to the ground.
After Clown had dealt with the strongest monster, another monster jumped up and tried to bite his leg.
He stepped to the side, raised his sword and swung it down, and the monster's head flew out, spurting out smelly green blood.
The monster fell to the ground, and its headless body turned around and fled in the direction it came from.
Perhaps realizing the enemy's strength, the remaining monsters turned around and rushed towards the gray fog.
Klauen did not pursue them. These monsters that seemed to be mutated from ordinary people were not difficult for him to deal with now. What he had to do was to find the real weaknesses of the monsters and tell the ordinary people who were on night watch how to deal with them.
He lowered his head, glanced at the tentacles that were still twisting wildly on the ground, and began to search for a thicker stick on the ground so that he could string the monster back for dissection.
Before he could discover anything, he saw the monster's chest and abdomen being stretched open, revealing a white squid-like mollusk with a fusiform head the size of a football.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
For some reason, Crown remembered the movie Alien that he had watched in his previous life.
As this thought flashed through his mind, he had already drawn his gun and fired, using the remaining three bullets in his revolver to fire at the mollusk that had just emerged.
This time the monster was easily shot through, and the kinetic energy of the bullet lifted it up and crashed it into the wooden stake behind it.
Crown jumped down and cut it open with one sword.
The dark green liquid splashed and made a "sizzling" sound when it fell. It was obvious that the monster's body fluids had a strong corrosive effect.
The little monster was twitching violently and rolling on the ground.
He used his sword to split a wooden stake into sixteen pieces, sharpened it into short spears, skewered some tentacles and two halves of the monster, and finally took out two No. 3 holy waters and sprinkled them on the polluted land.
Leaping onto the wooden stake again to gain leverage, Crown flew over the wall like a light bird and landed steadily on the wooden frame behind.
At this time, three groups of Night Watchmen had gathered here, and they looked at the falling knight with awe.
Klauen waved his hand and said, "The mutants have been dealt with. Go away and be alert tonight."
"Everyone go back to your original positions, keep watch, and do your own work," Del said, stepping forward to help carry things.
"No need," Clown said, letting his hand go. "I haven't figured out how active these things are yet. I'll take them myself."
The two men got off the wooden frame and quickly returned to the tower.
In the open space at the gate, Crown lit a few oil lamps filled with holy water, and it suddenly became as bright as day.
He picked up the sword and began to slice and dig, testing the activity of the monster's tentacles.
When the real monster burst out of the human body, he judged that it should be a parasitic unknown creature, and those human bodies were the breeding ground for it.
"Have mutants like this appeared during night watches before?" asked Crown.
"No," Del took a hammer and nailed the sliced tissue to the wooden board under his feet.
"Occasionally, a mutated beast would rush out, but when it was shot by a crossbow or a gun, it would turn around and flee. I have never seen anything so bizarre."
