MTL - Custom Made Demon King-Chapter 265 second night
After a turbulent day, night fell again, and Dendera Fortress ushered in a second night.
A patrol team of the fortress is holding a torch at the moment, patrolling along the streets in the fortress city. Although the zombies in the city have been almost wiped out after the daytime killing, in view of the sporadic attack reports are still coming in, So this patrol team is still very vigilant.
However, since the goblins have basically lost everything, the patrols have to be carried out by the Naga Snake Demon and the Archmage. The Naga Snake Demon is better, but the Archmage Secretly groaning, these mage masters, have they ever patrolled back and forth all night like this in the past? But there is no way, iron golems and gargoyles are incapable of preventing such things from happening to zombies. Those puppets who only know how to obey orders are iron-brained and do not have the ability to actively judge at all. Are the goblin-like zombies friends or foes...
Moreover, if these puppets are used to patrol, even if zombies do appear, they will not attack them, and they will not be able to patrol at all.
The mages are used to being pampered, and when they walk a certain distance, they have to stop and rest when their backs are sore and their legs hurt. This makes the patrol process intermittent. Although the Naga snake monsters disdain these guys very much, they can only Stop and wait, who made them teammates?
The Naga Snake Demon is a special race that lives in the swamps of the Kingdom of Bradaka. It is an amphibian. Because it has multiple arms on its upper body and is strong and powerful, these Naga can be said to be natural masters of swordsmanship. Bradaka The Kingdom of Dhaka enlisted them as the king's army to make up for their shortcomings in close combat and water combat, and also gave them a corresponding status, only a little lower than the mages.
During the patrolling process, these dharma masters were basically hopeless, so the Naga snake monsters took on the main security task. Because their lower bodies were snake tails, they were very sensitive to ground vibrations.
When the team was resting, a naga snake demon suddenly noticed a slight movement from the ground, so he immediately became vigilant and called other naga snake demons to come forward.
After this investigation, the Naga Snake Demons discovered that this slight movement seemed to come from the sewer...
Due to the special geographical location of the Dendera Fortress, there are a large number of troops stationed here all year round, so there are naturally corresponding dwellings in the fortress for the troops to live and live in. Since daily life is to be carried out, facilities such as sewers are essential. Less.
In fact, there is a complete and complicated network of underground waterways in the Dendera Fortress. It is low, and usually, it is basically maintained and dredged by the goblins, not to mention the masters of the mages, even the Naga snake demons have not gone down in person.
So when they realized that the movement was coming from the underground waterway, the patrol team was in a bit of trouble, and hesitated whether to send someone down to have a look.
The sewers are smelly and dirty, just opening the lid almost made the Naga Snake Demon faint from the fumes. No one wants to go down.
"Ahem!" When everyone was in a dilemma, an archmage coughed twice and said, "Actually, I don't think it's necessary. Don't you realize that those guys who were infected with the plague and turned into zombies are actually ignorant?" Yes, just attacking the living by instinct, how could such a guy be smart enough to hide in the sewer?"
"That's right, what you said is very reasonable!" This statement immediately attracted the rest of the grand masters to suddenly realize, clapping their hands and praising: "You are still smarter, you can see clearly!"
"Where is that, everyone probably thought of it, but it's not as precise as what I said!" The archmage was also very proud, but he wanted to pretend to be modest and brag about it with other archmages.
The naga snake monsters secretly slandered, of course they knew that these mages were just looking for an excuse not to go down, but... I have to say, this excuse really has a certain truth, how could those zombies who have no wisdom think of hiding? How about going into the sewer to avoid being searched?
Just when the Naga were thinking this way, the movement in the sewer also disappeared, and after waiting for a long time, they did not appear. The Naga snake monsters finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Maybe it's just some rats in the gutter. , we thought too much..."
Just as they were about to cover the sewer and continue patrolling, all of a sudden, the massacres behind them sat down to rest, and the ground exploded with a loud bang, and a black shadow rushed out at an extremely fast speed, in front of everyone. Before he could even react, the black shadow rushed into the group of mages all of a sudden!
There was a shrill scream, and the sorcerer, who was exchanging business bragging before, was bitten by the neck by the black shadow and carried away!
As for the rest of the mages, because a few of them were right next to the mage who was taken away, they were directly pushed down when the black shadow struck, leaving a **** paw print on their chests, which can be seen clearly. bone…
The attack came so fast that after a long while, the patrol team came to their senses and hurriedly searched for the direction of the screams.
"Damn it, what the **** is that thing!?"
"I don't know, it's too fast! I didn't see clearly at all!"
"There! It jumped on the roof!"
Although the patrol team didn't catch up to the black shadow, they saw the jumping figure of the black shadow from a distance, so a quick-reacting archmage immediately waved his staff and fired a bullet in the direction of the black shadow. A magic bullet for lighting.
The blazing magic bullet flew out all the way, and under the flickering white light, everyone finally saw the black shadow.
It was a plague-infected person with the appearance of a goblin, but its appearance at this moment was very different from that of a normal goblin. It was lying on all fours on the top of a bell tower. The archmage who was taken away just now, Stepping on its feet, its lips have been completely torn to the cheeks on both sides, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and on its face, there are a pair of gray eyes, two pairs of four eyes are magic bullets Under the bright lighting, it looks so weird, and the most outrageous thing is that there is an extra pair of transparent elytra like insects on its back!
When it was lying on the bell tower, the pair of elytra were still shaking, making a low humming sound, as if issuing a threat warning...
Although it was only a glimpse, the strange and ferocious appearance of this little goblin still made everyone gasp, and the gray and white menacing eyes made everyone stand on end with chills.
This kind of monster could no longer be called a goblin, but everyone couldn't find a suitable name to call it.
At the moment when the light of the magic bullet was about to disappear, everyone saw with their own eyes that the monster suddenly bit down on the archmage who was being stepped on, and then pulled it violently!
The archmage's screams stopped abruptly, and a huge gap appeared on his neck, causing him to die instantly.
After biting off a piece of flesh, the monster on the bell tower raised its neck and swallowed it in one gulp, and then disappeared as a black shadow after the darkness resumed...
After tossing for a while, the patrol team finally got down the body of the dead mage. After examining the body, everyone had a tense and serious expression.
Amazing bite force and mobility, able to jump, short-term flight, and most importantly, this monster seems to have a certain intelligence, it knows how to attack the weakest position of the patrol, one hit and go, using its own speed Make it impossible for hunters to attack it...
"This...is this still those zombies that wobble and only know to rush forward!?" A magician said in a trembling tone: "Why? Why did such a monster appear!?"
No one could answer him, and everyone looked at the dead mage's body in silence. When they found that the already cold body was trembling slightly again, showing signs of waking up, everyone finally sighed and said: "Burn him, this matter must be reported!"
Before leaving, a naga snake demon suddenly found a shiny thing on the ground, couldn't help but picked it up and looked at it, but found that it was a small piece of broken transparent crystal.
"Strange, what is this thing? Did it fall from that monster just now?" Naga Snake Demon muttered to himself. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't find anything, so he could only drop it casually...
However, when the patrol team returned to the interior hall to report the incident, they found a mess in the hall.
Not only them, many patrol teams were attacked by monsters while patrolling tonight!
Moreover, the monsters that attacked them were all different, at least from the descriptions of eyewitnesses, almost every monster looked different, but these monsters had one thing in common, that is, they were all agile and powerful. Incomparable, and with a certain hunting instinct, compared to the previous zombies, these monsters are more like real... beasts!
The worst thing was that even though they were attacked frequently, none of the patrols caught such monsters. These monsters seemed to disappear and hide after they caught enough prey!
And there is only one place where they are most likely to hide, and that is the underground waterways all over the fortress!
After hearing the news, Eschael and Solam all sighed in annoyance. It was a sign that they wanted to get angry but couldn't.
Because they understand that it may be quite difficult to destroy these monsters...
…………
At the same time, Roy, who was dozens of kilometers away, also seemed a little surprised after witnessing the mutant creatures in the fortress.
According to his calculations, in addition to infectivity, the re-degenerated t-virus should also retain the original high variability. As long as there are enough infected samples and a little time for mutation, such as " Monsters like the "Hunter" are definitely possible, but what Roy didn't expect was that these mutated creatures don't know if it's because of the different genetic species, and the appearance after the mutation is completely different from what Roy imagined. , even, one of the mutations that Roy observed through the eyes of the devil actually inherited Roy's frost power, which can spit out strong cold air to freeze the prey.
Under the attack of these more powerful mutants, there were huge casualties again in the fortress, and this time the casualties were not only those archmages and Naga snake monsters, but even some green dragons and giant titans suffered. Although these high-level creatures did not suffer much damage from the attack of mutants, they were stunned by the sudden attack and were unable to leave those mutant monsters behind...
This situation made Roy scratch his head: If the t-virus continues to mutate like this, maybe high-level creatures will also be recruited? And... Will I be able to control this spreading infection by then?
