Mercenaries and Adventurers

"Drink!" the female knight yelled, hitting the base of the monster's leg with many holes with her shoulder. The shoulder armor of her steel armor was as hard as the carapace of a Warcraft. After a brittle impact, the roots of her already tattered legs and feet finally shattered into large pieces of the outer carapace.

After the carapace was shattered and knocked away, the huge blood vessels and tendons of the monster that were constantly twitching underneath were exposed. Of course, there was also the translucent blood of the monster that was constantly flowing inside.

Compared to the toughness of the outer shell, the body tissue inside the carapace was much softer. Knight Lanissa raised her sword and cut off the last connections between the legs and feet with several consecutive sharp sword strikes.

There is nothing the Warcraft can do about it. It has its last two legs left, but these two legs are full of scars at this time. One of them is trying to poke the female knight in the front of the body, but it is knocked away at will. The other one is attacking Kil from behind. This leg and foot are covered with tiny cracks cut by Kil's axe. Although it can still be used, it is a defensive weapon against Kil who is close to its abdominal pouch and does not dare to launch a powerful attack.

After the female knight cut off the leg, she immediately placed the attack on the remaining leg. She noticed behind the monster and found that one of the monster's legs was still behind, indicating that Kir did not have the powerful magic just now. He was injured, but he still kept fighting.

Very good, she felt that it was a very right decision to absorb this young man into her team this time.

If Kil had been driven away before, the situation at this moment might not be too good. Although he was still able to defeat this monster to this point, the losses suffered by his hunters were very hard to say.

-

Kil struck an organ inside the monster's abdominal pouch with an axe, and then pulled it back. As the monster screamed in pain, he pulled out the thick intestine-like thing.

The organ of this monster is as thick as a human thigh, and it is filled with unknown things. Keir pulled it back hard, but it became longer and longer. In a few moments, it pulled the long body tissue and moved it back several meters.

It seemed to be very painful. The mist released around the Warcraft was vague, and it could no longer maintain the thick white mist situation before. The surrounding mist was not absorbed back into its body by the monster like before, but diluted and spread to the surroundings as if it were beyond the control of the monster.

After the fog lightened slightly, Kil heard the shouts of the hunters on the front of the monster, as well as the loud collisions of the female knights during the battle.

Another attack from the monster's legs and feet came from the side. It seemed that it had no strength. This time, the monster put its legs and feet close to the ground and rowed straight towards Kil. The sharp tips of its legs and feet cut into the cold and solid soil on the ground. A deep ravine was opened.

Of course, he would not be hit by the monster at the end of the road at this time. He just quickened his pace and pulled back two steps to get out of the way of the monster's blow.

And the intestine-like thing that had been pulled out of the monster's abdominal pouch by Kil was naturally cut into three sections by the passing legs and feet.

Kil suddenly fell to the ground. Only a one-meter-long section of the demon beast's intestine hanging on the ax was left. At the flat fracture, the stuffed contents spilled all over the surrounding area.

Keir felt disgusted and unbelievable at the sight of it.

Because the demon beast's intestines, which are only as thick as a human thigh, are filled with nothing but human bones that were devoured by the demon beasts.

The strange thing is that these bones have completely lost the size of normal human skeletons. Not only the sternum, hips and thigh bones, but also the skulls of everyone, which are basically the same size, have shrunk by more than one circle.

It was as if after humans were swallowed by monsters, everything on those human corpses was absorbed by the monsters, even the bones.

Kil then looked up at the broken intestines pulled out in front of him. The long and twitching intestines lying on the ground were spitting out shrunken human bones, as well as many other strange things.

Kil got up, walked quickly to the place where the monster's belly bag was broken, hung an intestine with the tip of the ax, and then pulled hard from behind. The monster's legs tried to attack Kil several times, but they only hit his own body organs on the ground.

After several attempts, it accepted its fate and no longer attacked with its legs and feet, but instead tried to protect the breach in its abdominal pouch.

Kil was waiting for this. His ax struck down hard, hitting the legs and feet that were maintaining defense. He specifically aimed at the place with the most cracks and hit it twice. After two strikes, the shell of this thing was shattered and exposed. organization inside.

After a few more blows, the entire ends of the legs and feet were shattered. This time, Kiel finally had nothing to stop him.

Gearing up, Kil used his ax to pull out the large and small organs of the monster, and chopped all the organs he saw with his long sword.

Puncture this thing that looks like a gallbladder, and then chop open the internal organs covered with blood vessels.

Of course, there are more large and small intestines in the abdominal pouch of the monster, as well as some strange organs.

As if thinking that it was finished, the monster kept shrinking its abdominal pouch, and then from the middle of the tail of the abdominal pouch, from the spinneret protected by a large number of bristles, large streams of translucent and semi-turbid mucus were sprayed out.

As soon as these things come into contact with air, they solidify and harden quickly.

Kil had already thrust his whole body into the belly bag of the monster to destroy it, but as the light coming in from the breach in the belly bag quickly weakened, he turned around and found that the place where he came in behind him was covered by a large number of rapidly hardening Covered by mucus.

Kil was shocked and immediately struck with an ax, but the hardened mucus was very hard. Even if he swung the ax with all his strength, he could only knock off a small piece of the hardened mucus at a time.

Seeing this thing, Keir remembered the things he found in the forest outside the Mirk Forest Village.

"I'm careless, what should I do?" The light around Keel weakened rapidly. Although he could still see the things around him clearly with the faint light coming from the hardened mucus, the various body organs of the monsters that were constantly squirming around him , which still made him feel stressed.

Unable to sit still and wait for death, he immediately thought that the mucus sprayed by the monster was basically sprayed downwards. It seemed that the top of the abdominal bag of the monster was not covered by this kind of thing, right?

He did it as he thought. He no longer thought about destroying the body organs of the monster. Instead, he put away the axe, took out the long sword and dagger, cut open the various organs on the head that were held together by the peritoneum, and stepped on these things to climb up.

-

With the help of her hunters, Knight Lanisha broke off the last intact leg and foot of the monster, and cut off the mouth at the front of the monster's body.

After the surrounding fog diluted and dispersed, the hunters rejoined the battle. They gave up using bows and arrows, and instead took out the weapons obtained from the bandits, helping the knights cut off the monster's thick mouth.

At this time, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the leg that had been dealing with Kil from behind the Warcraft turned and hit Knight Lanisa.

This leg was broken in half by Kil, so the attack range is not very large, and it can basically only sweep back and forth on the monster's body.

Even when all the legs and feet of the monster were there, they couldn't do anything to the female knight. Naturally, the half of the legs and feet couldn't do anything. The female knight quickly broke the connection between the legs and feet.

"The limbs of the Warcraft are all broken now. Everyone, please step back a distance and be careful of the final madness of the Warcraft! I'm going to see how Kil is doing. I hope he's okay." After saying that, Knight Lanisa jumped up on the spot. , jumped to the vicinity of the belly bag of the monster.

Then she saw large areas of solid hardened mucus on and around the monster's abdominal pouch, as well as a large tear in the abdominal pouch blocked by these hardened mucus.

Looking at the triangular hole that could allow people to get in, the female knight had a strange expression: "Good guy, you didn't get in, did you? Kil."

She looked around. The surrounding ground was flat. Everything had been cleared away by the powerful magic of Warcraft. Apart from the mucus that was already hard and metal-like, there were only a lot of Warcraft intestines and intestines under the mucus. The vague human bones coming out of the intestines.

When she thought about it, she realized that it was Kil who first opened a big hole in the belly bag of the monster, and then took out a large number of body parts of the monster. Then the guy boldly ran into the belly bag of the monster, but was The hardened slime released by the monster at the end was trapped inside.

When I came to the abdominal sac, I looked inside through the translucent hardened mucus. It was so dark inside that I couldn't see anything clearly.

She drew out her armor-piercing rapier and slashed and stabbed at the hardened mucus. As a result, she only scraped away a large area of ​​scraped debris, but there was nothing she could do with the thick hardened mucus.

"Damn it!" The female knight looked around. None of her hunters were nearby. She quickly took out the one-handed heavy sword in the box behind her, exerted all her strength, and hit the hardened mucus of the Warcraft again.

-

Kil felt that he had done something stupid, and the surrounding monster organs were squeezing him. Although the force was not very strong, both the taste and the feeling were really unbearable.

After leaving the breach in the abdominal sac, there was no light around him. Kiel could only rely on the direction of gravity felt by his body to crawl towards the upper part of the abdominal sac.

Vaguely, Kil seemed to hear someone talking to him, and vague voices came from all directions. This made Kil feel a little scared, but the dagger and sword in his hand did not stop at all, and continued to cut the tissue envelope connecting the Warcraft's organs.

With his movements, the surrounding sounds became clearer.

He stopped what he was doing and listened carefully to the sounds around him.

"It hurts, it hurts."

"It's better to be in the nest, it's really not good outside."

"I knew I wouldn't come here to prey on humans. I regret it."

Similar words made him widen his eyes. Could it be that this monster was talking to itself?

But why is this guy speaking human language?

But then I thought about it, and this is what it should be. This monster has eaten the most humans, and it is indeed not impossible to master human language.

Although he had heard the human head on this monster speak before, speaking to the monster itself had two different meanings.

As these repeated words became clearer and clearer, Kil saw that inside the originally dark belly bag of the monster, one direction lit up through various organs.

Unlike a lamp, this blue-white light penetrated the body tissue of the monster, allowing Keir to clearly see the direction and source of the light.

He felt magical and stretched out his hand to cover his eyes. As a result, he could see the blue-white light with his eyes through his hands.

"Can't this thing be stopped by either the Warcraft or my own hands?" Kil said to himself.

But he suddenly had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

Reminiscent of the fact that when the monster released its powerful power before, light emitted from deep within its belly. At that time, Kil was blocked by his legs and feet. He could only manage to destroy some of the bright organs in the superficial layers of the abdominal sac before and after that. He was unable to do anything about the brightest organ deep in the monster's body.

But I am now in the body of the monster! It's not impossible to think of a way.

Ever since she suffered a loss from the magic of Warcraft, Lanissa Knight has been semi-opening her own magical perception. Just as she stabbed repeatedly with her one-handed heavy sword to break a small hole in the hardened mucus, she suddenly sensed that the monster started to gather magic power again.

The body turned upside down and jumped out, at least thirty meters away in an instant. Putting away the heavy sword, the female knight carefully focused her magic power perception to find out what this mortal beast was going to do.

Sensing that the magic power gathered by the monsters this time was greater than the previous one, this made Knight Lanissa feel uneasy, but also felt strange.

The 'human head' magic organ used to release magic power this time has been destroyed by her. What does this monster use to release this powerful magic power?

You know, the magic power before was so powerful that it burned out the eyes of more than a dozen magic organs that imitated human heads. After powerful magic is gathered, if you don't find a place to absorb or release it, those powerful forces will ruthlessly destroy everything.

This is also a story she read in a book when she was studying.

Many magicians usually end up not very good after mastering and controlling magic that exceeds their own abilities. Those with minor injuries will lose their ability to cast spells, while those with more serious injuries will be directly destroyed and evaporated by magic power. What's more, there was once an insidious mage who used this to create a one-time self-destruction attack.

The book says that there used to be mages in the empire who seduced many young magicians alone, transformed their bodies with the promise of increasing their spellcasting abilities, and added some strange and powerful magic sources to the bodies of the young mages.

But this is not a good thing. It usually looks like nothing, but when needed, those insidious mages can remotely control these magic sources that they have created themselves, allowing the young mages who use them to forcibly gather a large amount of magic power under any circumstances. The installed magic sources exploded together.

Knight Lanessa didn't know whether the story was true or false. After all, she was just a knight. She was not yet a knight when she first learned. I only know these books because I find them interesting.

"So?" She looked at the magical beasts that were gathering more and more magic power, and knew this guy's plan.

It originally wanted to destroy itself in the end, and kill a few more of them who were careless.

After guessing the Warcraft's plan, Knight Lanisa quickly informed her hunters to retreat another hundred meters.

The surrounding fog has long since dissipated, leaving only a large open space and a mess.

All the people still alive on the battlefield retreated into the distance, lying on the ground and looking at the condition of the monster that had no limbs and could no longer move.

A young hunter muttered: "Why isn't Keir here? Did he die in the one just now?"

"Which one?" asked another young hunter lying not far away.

"It's the one that knocked the Lord Knight away. Look, it's the one that blew away a large piece of snow and mud around the monster." He pointed to the surroundings of the monster in the distance.

In the middle of the white snow is a circular black-gray cold soil, and in the center is the huge monster that has lost all its legs and feet and its long mouth.

Even though the monsters have been beaten into this state by them, their huge bodies are still very intimidating. After all, humans are a small race. Facing many huge creatures, they naturally have a kind of fear hidden in their blood. inducement.

That is the ability to survive that was engraved in the blood during ancient evolution.

Facing huge creatures, fear and then run away.

This is how you can survive.

Knight Lanisa heard the words of her hunters, and she said helplessly: "That guy Kiel broke open the belly of the monster, and then got in to destroy it. As a result, he was trapped inside by the mucus released by the monster. After the mucus hardened, It couldn't be opened at all, he was so bold. It's a pity, he is a brave warrior."

The hunters looked at each other. They didn't expect that guy Kiel to be so bold and reckless. Instead of just attacking at the tail of the monster, he actually rushed into the monster's body.

It's a pity that this guy has to pay the price for his recklessness, and the price is his own life.

Shaking their heads, the few old hunters couldn't say anything else except sighing. They hoped that Keir's lesson would make their young hunters more cautious in the future.

-

Kil became increasingly uneasy and looked up at the dark monster organ above his head. He didn't know how long it would take to reach the top of the abdominal sac, and then he would have to use an ax to break open a hole for him to climb out.

This will take a lot of time, but the increasingly bright blue-white light deep in the body of the distant monster will not give him enough time no matter how he looks at it.

Gritting his teeth, Kil knew that whether he would live or die would depend on his next choice.

After taking a deep breath of the disgusting and stinky air around him, Kil made up his mind.

You can go up, but you don't have enough time. Now he can only think of ways to destroy the source of the blue-white light, just like he destroyed the small light-emitting organ on the outside of the abdominal sac before.

Kil pushed the organ under his feet and landed on the hollow hole he had made. Taking out his sword and axe, Kil moved towards the center of the demon beast's abdominal bag that emitted blue and white light.

Life and death are next.
