Dawn of the Grey Tower

Chapter 17: Truth

? What kind of monster's blood will smell of seaweed? This is an interesting question. If the cheese is here, he may use the huge knowledge reserve in his brain to get a few possible candidates. For the current passengers on the Cursed Lady, there is no need to know the vast amount of knowledge in the Ash Tower Library. They naturally have a way to get the answer to this question.

"Peg! Close the deck, let's see what kind of monster is against us!" In fact, without the count, the two witches had already acted according to their own ideas.

Qi Li's brow furrowed, apparently not calming down from her awakened anger. She looked at the blood of the invisible things in the spider's web and showed a happy and cruel smile. The witch picked up a straw laying on the bottom of the cabin and dipped a few drops of blood on her side. Then **** the **** straw against the blood-stained straw with a soft and eerie tone! "What's going on!" With Lothar's screaming, a wound with only a few fingers that had been pierced by a harpoon in front of him was like a jet of blood rushing out, spraying the unexpected count Covered face.

At the same time, Pegg's has also begun to move. She knelt on one knee and touched the wooden board at the bottom of the cabin with her hands. A long green hair floated with the magical surge. Generally speaking, they want to influence the other part of the witch's expertise by touching one part of the substance. They are better at cursing and destructive magic release than precise casting. But this ship is not an ordinary creation. The Cursed Lady made by the Destroyed Bay Dock has some kind of connection with the witches of Destroyed Bay. At this time, Peg just activated this connection, allowing him to control the damage on the deck like the steering wheel and the sail.

Accompanied by a bitter squeak, the board that had been broken shivered slightly. The long-dead trees seem to come back to life again, and a large number of new branches have grown from the deck breach, crisscrossing the grid to form the hole in the middle. If there are only one or two invading monsters, maybe the witch ’s magic can be successfully completed, but judging from the sound of the footsteps on the deck and their tricks, no matter what intrudes on the ship, the number of them Absolutely.

"Click!" The new branch was broken by invisible limbs before it became thicker, but this attempt was not meaningless. With the shadow of a few branches, the four people in the cabin still saw part of the outline of these bodies. It was a foreleg covered with fine scales. To describe its appearance, it reminded Lothar unconsciously of Migo, a red dragon as a cheese partner. The thing that attacks ships is of course not a dragon, but there are not many creatures in nature that have a structure similar to a dragon.

"Shadowless bird? Those sailors are really dizzy. This is obviously a group of big lizards!" The earl first revealed the identity of the attacker. Although birds and lizards feel very different, it is undeniable that the two have similarities in the structure of their feet. In simple terms, they have sharp claws. This explains why these things feel similar to birds when walking on the deck. But now that you know that your opponent is a lizard, you have to ask another question. Why are the scales of these lizards so soft?

Lothar wiped the lizard blood from his face, and the strange smell in his mouth suggested that he might have accidentally swallowed some blood. But now is not the time to worry about whether these things are poisonous in the blood. Although knowing the identity of the enemy, how to drive these invisible large lizards under the moonlight off the boat is the top priority. Thinking of this, the count narrowed his eyes, recalling the scene he had just seen in a brief moment, trying to reason about the position of the enemy.

The net worm on the other side is much simpler. The maid does not care about killing the enemy. She inserts the harpoon in her hand into the monster's body, and then kicks a kick on the bottom of the harpoon. Stabbed all the small harpoons in! In this case, the damage and pain caused by the vitality are enough to make the stabbed creature lose its ability to resist. The networm slowly picked up another harpoon and began to repeat the work just now.

In the cobweb, it gradually quieted down. With no more struggles, the monsters that fell into this trap seemed to have died under the harpoon. The subsequent monsters, when they saw the miserable state of their companions, seemed to be afraid, and dared not to drill hard into the breach. There was another silence on the Madame Curse. "Huh, these **** things." Lothar shook his hands stained with dark green blood, and walked aside to take a lantern to take a picture in the cobweb, maybe because the monster was dead, or maybe they were only Can be invisible in the moonlight, in short, under the dim light, the count finally saw the true face of the monster.

If part of the body cannot determine the type of creature, the eyeballs that are opened from the scales and have narrow trajectories prove everyone's suspicion that it was indeed some kind of lizard that attacked them and was killed by them. However, the scales of these lizards are much denser and softer than their counterparts on land, and they cannot provide any protection, but instead, these scales seem to be the key to their invisibility. Lothar tried to cut off a part of the lizard scales with a knife. As expected, after losing the outer skin, real flesh was revealed in the moonlight.

"Interesting." The count put the cut skin under the lamp, and the scales reflected off the pale white luster. After seeing that there was no danger, the two witches leaned in because of curiosity.

Pegg looked at the loot in the hands of the knight and inferred from his own knowledge, "These scales should reflect the moonlight, so that people can't see the body of the lizard. But its effect and whether it can be made into clothing with the same effect Experiments are needed. If the scales of these guys can really make an invisible coat under the moon, then I am afraid that there will be a lot of people willing to take the risk to hunt them. But where did these things come from? Do n’t those legends say they can fly? "

"Maybe it's just those sailors who made up blindly. The monsters that I can't see are enough for them to lock themselves in the cabin and tremble, so they don't have the time to distinguish whether the monsters are from the water or from the sky." He shrugged and checked his victim. Of all the dead lizards, only one died of excessive blood loss.

"I'm afraid that's not the case." Networm frowned slightly, holding the lantern in one hand and the harpoon in the other. She gently provoked the forelimb of a lizard ~ www.readwn.com ~ Seeing these creatures except scales There is also a thin film on the joints. Recalling that they walked on the deck without making any sound other than claws, these lizards must not be heavy. It seems that whether they can glide in the sea breeze on this film is still open to question.

Others have seen the findings of the female maid soldiers. Although it is still unclear whether these membranes are evidence of lizards flying, it is highly likely that these monsters are not stained with sea water. "An aquatic lizard with scales that can reflect moonlight and glide at the same time? Well, they are indeed true monsters." The count summed his head crooked. But he soon thought of another question, "Do lizards give up hunting because they lost a few companions?"

"No, of course not. It is well known that lizards don't feel much about the death of their companions, they will even eat cannibalism." Peg answered, and at the same time understood the meaning of Lothar. She looked around cautiously, but did not see any entrance into which the lizard could enter except the hole in front of her.

Qili seems to have lost interest in the body in the trap. She prefers living things to dead bodies that don't move. After all, death is one of the few things that does not happen repeatedly to an individual. When she heard Peg's words, she smiled ironically, "Do you have cannibalism? It sounds like us."
