Chapter 18 Counterattack
He covered Carmen's body with branches and dead leaves and grass, and Allen and others followed the traces to track the fjord monsters again, but the morale of the team had fallen to the bottom.
Carmen's strange injuries caused everyone to beheaded. Qin Lun personally judged that this was the second mysterious force in Arcadia, but Allen and others believed that this was caused by man. In other words, among the same group of tourists entering the camp, there were serial murderers.
Both judgments have some truth. The Death Game can guide them to Arcadia, so it is not uncommon to attract a few serial murderers. However, Qin Lun prefers the first type, serial murderers have too weak changes to the plot situation and have no mysterious power at all.
As the sky gradually shines, Allen and others gradually find that the surrounding environment is becoming more and more unfamiliar. In the outer forest of Arcadia National Park, tourists often walk around, and most of the forests are left with natural paths. These paths are covered with dead leaves and the grass is trampled flat by pedestrians coming and going.
However, after hours of tracking, Allen and others had already penetrated into the forest and passed several warning signs along the way. They could no longer see such paths that tourists stepped on. Most of the weeds on the forest ground grew more than one foot high, almost invisible to the soil below.
Natasha took out a few rubber bands to tie her hair, and asked everyone to tie her legs tightly so that they would not let snakes and insects crawl in. The girl's careful behavior immediately won everyone's praise.
"Did you hear any sound?" Qin Lun turned his head and listened uncertainly. His hearing was much worse than his vision, so it was not a pretending gesture.
In fact, when he entered this forest, he had tested several blood abilities in his body one after another. Perhaps because of the restrictions of the laws of the world, or perhaps because of the interference of other mysterious forces, he could not use the elf story here, and his gaze halo was also weakened a lot.
The gains obtained from the elf bloodline and the hunter profession were basically offset. Higher-level magic skills were also greatly limited. For example, the arrival of A-level tree world is simply useless. After all, this is a low-demon world.
The only good news is that some low-level skills and physical attributes are not too restricted, such as: rapid fire, scattering, penetrating arrow skills of bows and arrows; ballistic refraction of firearms, weakness sight, etc.
This also refreshed Qin Lun's cognition and made him feel the importance of comprehensiveness.
In fact, this also exposed his weakness of not accumulating enough. With his current abilities, if his skills are fully opened, he belongs to the upper level among the second-level apostles. But once he changes to some task worlds with relatively high restrictions, he may be weaker than ordinary second-level apostles, because others accumulate more powerfully in the middle and low-level skills.
"I didn't hear anything."
"Neither I!" Allen's face was a little confused and nervous. Apart from having that kind of precognitive hallucination, he was still just an ordinary person in other aspects.
"Come here, come with me, I really want to hear some weird sounds." Qin Lun signaled everyone to quiet, listened for a while, then pointed out a direction, waved to let everyone follow him.
"What the hell is this?" Allen and others looked forward as they plucked the bushes. Except for Qin Lun, everyone else couldn't help but tremble all over their bodies, and a urge to urinate rose from their lower abdomen.
For ordinary people living in peaceful times, this scene in front of them was too shocking. The moment they saw it, their minds were blank, they had no ability to think, and only fear originated from their life instincts were left.
Qin Lun took them out without going far. After about two or three hundred meters, everyone heard the sound he said. The sound was obviously a mixed sound. If you carefully identify it, there was a sound of water inside, a strange sound similar to a child's crying, and a cooing sound like a frog cries.
The closer they got there, the more panic they felt in everyone's hearts. Finally, they followed Qin Lun into the bushes and almost tiptoed over.
When you open the bushes, you will see a gravel beach on the shore of a lake. This place is different from ordinary beaches. There is neither fine sand nor pebbles. The shore is full of hideous reefs, not big, but the edges are extremely sharp, like blades.
The lake water surged in waves, and it smashed on the gravel beach, and the sound of water rustled among the reefs.
As long as the lake and beach are lakes, there are basically many tourists, but there are obviously no one coming to this beach, and basically no animals in the forest will come here to drink water.
In addition, the fog was heavy in the morning and the surrounding environment had a poor view. The madness seemed gloomy and mysterious, which made Alan and others all over their bodies.
In front of the bushes where everyone was hiding, they finally saw the "raider" who they called the fjord monster.
This is a humanoid creature with dark green scales all over the body. It is similar to everyone's guess and should be amphibious. Their heads are like crocodile heads, long fins around their ears, sharp teeth as sharp as daggers, webbed between their toes, and curved nails as hooks.
The two big monsters are over three meters and five meters tall. They may not be used to walking on land, with a slightly hunched back, and they are standing on both sides, watching around vigilantly.
The three small monsters were petite, but they didn't look too carefully because they were lying on the ground to eat. What made everyone feel scared was that they were lying on the ground to eat two human corpses.
Both corpses were women, their clothes were torn to pieces, and a big hole was broken into the chest and abdomen, and the internal organs were being held in their hands by three little monsters.
One of the women's heads were facing the bushes where everyone was hiding. Her chin was resting on the ground, and the place where her eyes were located had turned into two blood holes. All the tender flesh on her face was gnawed off, her mouth had no lips or tongue, and her upper and lower gums were exposed. The skull was lifted from the forehead door, and her brain was gone, and it was obviously eaten up.
Another woman lay on her back on the ground, her chest was towering with two soft balls, and her flesh had turned into two holes. Her thighs and arms seemed to shrink, much thinner, revealing the pale bones inside.
"Vomit~~" Allen and others vomited, their eyes full of fear, and instinctively suppressed themselves without making any sound. Now they knew what the sound was like a frog's cry, which was the sound of monsters swallowing when they gnawed on corpses.
Qin Lun did not pay attention to them anymore, but instead glanced at Donald inadvertently. The fat man lowered his head, covered his face with his palm, and his shoulders trembled, looking extremely scared, but Qin Lun noticed that besides himself, he was another person who had never vomited.
Rich experiences can sometimes become one of the flaws, that is, I don’t know if this fat man is a reincarnation or an apostle!
Qin Lun showed a sneer on his face. With his ability, he could force himself to vomit, but he could see through this embarrassment at a glance, so he didn't do that.
If you have specialized in your profession, the apostles and the reincarnation are not omnipotent. Even if you have the acting skills of an Oscar-winning actor, you still need to prepare your emotions in advance. Vomiting is not the focus, and you will pretend to be embarrassed during the vomiting process.
He knew, and Donald knew, so both of them never pretended to be pitiful.
Allen and others were too stimulating to their senses, and their minds were blank, and they didn't even think about the identities of these two corpses. However, Qin Lun noticed that both corpses were beyond recognition and could not tell whether they were Fanny, Karin and Susan who had disappeared before.
But judging from the tattered costumes, Qin Lun can be sure that Susan and Karin whom he had seen were not among them. The people attacked and kidnapped by these five monsters last night may not be limited to their camp.
These thoughts flashed through Qin Lun's mind. The next moment, he stood up directly from behind the bushes, and the pulley bow he held in his hand was pulled for a full month.
"Swoosh swosh swosh!" In the horrified eyes of Allen and others, the three carbon arrows that Qin Lun clamped with his five fingers with his right hand were shot out almost in a linear shape.
Modern pulley bows use many types of arrows. Compared with slightly heavier fiberglass arrows and aluminum alloy arrows, Qin Lun prefers this kind of lightweight and straight ballistic carbon arrows, pursuing initial velocity and accuracy. Moreover, carbon arrows are not prone to burst, reducing the trouble of replenishing later.
"Wow~~" Three little monsters lying on the ground and eating corpses, the one facing the bushes let out a shrill scream, just like the crying of a baby.
The first of the three carbon arrows shot by Qin Lun aimed at its forehead, but only a few scales were broken and the skull was bounced away. The second arrow aimed at its throat, but it still only penetrated two centimeters deep. It may have shot into its esophagus, but judging from the amount of bleeding, this injury is not fatal.
His third arrow really hit the little monster hard. Its right eye was shot and blood mixed with a trace of white brain soil flowed out of the eye socket.
However, this fjord sea monster has obviously strong vitality. When the brain is traumatized, the little monster is still not dead and begins to attack everything around him regardless of the enemy.
Its two brothers and sisters were obviously frightened, discarded the corpse at their feet and ran around with their heads, screaming at the little monster attacking them in grievance, probably not understanding what happened to this brother.
However, the two big monsters responsible for the warning next to them are different. They seem to have some degree of wisdom. One of them quickly stopped the monster and grabbed its arms tightly, making it unable to continue to rage.
The other roared towards the bushes, and the hideous and twisted crocodile face did not hide its rage. However, in this case, it still seemed cautious enough to block the face with its long muscle arms to prevent the weak facial features from being shot by arrows.
Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly. His test was very successful, but the results were not ideal.
