Chapter 2029
Before they knew it, night had already fallen.
The entrance to the cave had been blocked with stones piled up tightly to prevent the smell from spreading out and attracting the monsters.
Although the effect wasn’t particularly good, it was better than not doing it at all. At least, it could serve as a cover.
He had no choice but to do this. Although he would feel extremely suffocated, it was much better than losing his life.
Those who had not experienced the wave of monsters here did not know how terrifying the situation was. They were outside the city, so there was no way to avoid it.
The humongous dwarves had no choice but to dig a hole and bury the flesh puppets underground before burrowing into it.
If he had a choice, he wouldn’t have done this, but the horned helmet reminded him again and again that the horror of the night was far beyond his imagination.
Under such circumstances, if they continued to stay outside, they would definitely be attacked by the monsters.
The physical puppet was the largest and had good defense, but when facing the endless monsters, even its iron body could not withstand the attacks.
This wasn’t an alarmist talk. Moreover, the dwarf had experienced the strength of the Dragon-shaped monster before. Although it eventually became his food, it was all because of Tang Zhen’s help.
If they were to rely on their own strength, they would have become the ones defecating.
It was obvious that the dwarf was very depressed. This physical puppet was his most satisfied work. Even the slightest damage to it would make him feel heartache.
If he had a choice, he would rather stay with his physical puppet. Otherwise, he would feel very insecure.
If there weren’t many monsters, he would even be willing to fight with them. He wouldn’t have been separated from his physical puppet.
Unfortunately, in this special environment, it was not the time for the dwarf to be willful. If he wanted to seek death, no one would stop him.
The premise was that his actions would not cause harm to others. Otherwise, no one would be polite to him, not even his companions.
This was the cruelest rule of survival. If one didn’t follow it, they would be rejected by the group.
Having said that, the horned helmet was quite interested in the dwarf’s means of manipulation, and even invited the dwarf to join them.
If they had a valiant general like the dwarf in their team, they would not have the slightest fear even if they were chased by the soldiers.
As for inviting Tang Zhen to join his group, he did not even dare to think about it. He simply did not have any confidence.
Even spell casters were no match for such a powerful figure, so how could their group keep him?
The dwarf shook his head and asked the horned helmet in a disdainful tone, ” “We have weapons and armor. Why should we follow you and listen to your orders?”
Although he had just arrived, the dwarf looked down on the horned helmet and the others. They were clearly inferior to him in every aspect, yet they had the nerve to be his boss.
‘Am I a fool? I know you’re trying to get something for nothing, but I’m still going to fall into your trap and let you order me around?’
The horned helmet didn’t think so. Although he didn’t have the elite equipment of the dwarf and the others, he was extremely familiar with the terrain here, which was his biggest advantage.
What was the use of having a pile of good things but still unable to save his life?
Although they were not well-equipped, they had been able to last until now under the double threat of the monsters and the soldiers. This in itself was a display of strength.
That was why the horned helmet was so confident and felt that he had the right to recruit these hundreds of people. As for whether the dwarves and the others were willing or not, it was their own business.
As the two of them were chatting, the ground suddenly rumbled, as if huge feet were stepping on the ground.
“Shush!”
The horned helmet made a shushing gesture, indicating that everyone should not speak. At the same time, it tilted its head to make sure that it was listening.
In fact, he didn’t need to remind them. Everyone had similar experiences and knew that in such a situation, the quieter it was, the better it was for them.
The shaking of the ground was getting louder and louder, and it seemed to be lingering nearby. It was obvious that the monster had discovered something unusual and was unwilling to leave.
“We have too many people, Yingluo.”
The horned helmet’s expression was a little nervous as he lowered his voice and whispered. At the same time, he subconsciously clenched his two-handed battle axe.
The only use of the cave was to hide, and it could not be compared to the defense of a city.
However, if they could guard the entrance of the cave and prevent the monsters from rushing in, then as long as they could hold on until dawn, they would still be able to turn the tide.
Therefore, guarding the entrance of the cave became their top priority.
At this moment, at the entrance of the cave, a large group of people already had their swords in their hands. They were staring at the stone at the entrance of the cave, afraid that something would happen.
Right at this moment, a rock suddenly trembled, as if something was being squeezed in.
Seeing this scene, everyone’s hearts were in their throats, and the arms holding their weapons trembled slightly.
The atmosphere was silent, so quiet that it was chilling.
The sound of water dripping could be heard. Then, the rock moved violently and was sent flying.
One of the desperators did not manage to Dodge in time and was hit by a rock. The huge force sent him flying a few meters away before he fell limply to the ground.
No one paid attention to the blood-spurting desperator. The people guarding the entrance widened their eyes and stared at the gap that had just appeared.
Then, a big face with a strange smile slowly appeared from the gap and swept across the crowd with cold and greedy eyes.
The corners of its mouth revealed a weird and proud smile, as if a cold poisonous snake had sneaked into a chicken nest full of chicklings.
“Beat him up!”
The monster had already rushed into the cave. The only thing they had to do now was to kill it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would only cause more serious consequences.
With a roar, the weapons in everyone’s hands smashed over and landed on the ugly face.
In the blink of an eye, the monster’s big face was covered with Spears and hatchets. Stinky liquid kept flowing out of the wounds, and the smell was extremely pungent.
The monster seemed to have been angered by the attack, and its expression became extremely distorted. It opened its mouth as if it was going to spit something out.
At this moment, everyone saw a black shadow flash by. Then, a huge stone was stuffed into the mouth of the strange face.
...
The strange human face that was about to spit out the poisonous mist had a twisted look on its face. It seemed to want to spit out the stone, but it was unable to do so.
How could the horned helmet and the others miss such an opportunity? they all rushed forward, waving their swords and slashing wildly.
After suffering a series of attacks, the strange face did not retreat. Instead, it moved forward and squeezed into the cave.
It was only then that everyone could clearly see that the strange face’s body was like a giant python, and its surface was covered with slender arms.
As they wriggled in, the arms kept scratching in all directions, trying to expand the hole.
The Python-like body swayed left and right in the cave, knocking the despaired people to the side. If their mouths were not gagged, they would have probably opened their big mouths and bitten everywhere.
The desperators following Tang Zhen immediately raised their guns and aimed at the monster’s body. Bullets were shot out as though they were free.
The liquid from the monster’s body splattered everywhere, and the entire cave was immediately filled with an unpleasant smell.
Stimulated by the smell, the desperators vomited one after another and fell to the ground with pale faces.
