Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2242: Dark Forest (6)
Chapter 2242 Dark Forest (6)
"The pit is so deep. What should I do next, go straight down the drawbridge?" Bedivere lay in the shadows on the edge of the cave, looking at the crumbling drawbridges, and asked, "This is definitely a trap."
"It's really a trap." Arthur groaned. Walking on the suspension bridge is really dangerous. If you are attacked by the enemy on the suspension bridge where you can't guarantee a stable standing, it can almost be said to be a near-death situation. And the witch hiding in this cave seems to be able to control quite a lot of animals, not to mention the wolf, she can even control things like death scorpions, if she can control some flying creatures Arthur would not have been surprised to attack an intruder passing through the drawbridge. Walking on a suspension bridge and being attacked by flying creatures such as birds is no joke.
But other than the obvious trap of the drawbridge, there is no other way to go. Go down those intricate rock walls? No, the rocks are too wet and slippery. Unless you have special climbing tools, you can cut out cracks in the hard rock that you can stand on, and install climbing nails that can stand on your feet, or you will inevitably fall off during rock climbing. Falling from this height is shattering, so don't try it randomly. Moreover, if you walk on the suspension bridge, you may be attacked by flying creatures. It is not necessarily that you will not be attacked if you go down the rock, right? The result was still the same dire situation.
"Do you want to help, Arthur?" Seeing that the King of Knights was still hesitating, Bedivere volunteered: "I can turn back into a wolf and see if I can grab those rocks with my claws, one by one. Let's go down. Just like carrying you into the warrior's grave before, you can also hold my neck this time and go down with me, it will be safer than walking on the suspension bridge."
"No." Arthur thought for a moment: "You can climb down the rock in your own way, and be on guard by the way. I'll still take the suspension bridge."
Arthur can be said to be a burden during the climbing process in Bediveville. His weight will make the wolf's movements less flexible, and in the case of being attacked by the enemy at any time, even if the action is slow Every minute and every second can be fatal. What's more, Bedivere's hands and feet are occupied during the climb, and he can't fight back and can only flee all the way. If he reduces his flexibility, the situation will be even more unfavorable.
"Is that so...that's fine too," Bedivere replied. He didn't argue with Arthur, presumably because the situation he had in mind was not much different from what Arthur had in mind. It also proves that he does not have much room for himself, and can only choose the optimal solution.
The big white wolf transformed into a muscular human wolf. Although the physique has the outline of a human, it is more like a beast, with sharp teeth and claws full of animal nature.
"Be careful, Arthur." Only his speech was not full of animalism. The sturdy wolf jumped out and grabbed the slippery rock wall in an instant.
Arthur's idea is generally right. The current human wolf Bedivere uses only one arm and one leg to fix himself on the rock wall with his sharp claws, and he even vacated his hands and feet. He was able to do this with his own weight. If he was carrying the King of Knights on his back, adding the weight of Arthur (even if he was using a boy's body now), and adding the miscellaneous weight of various equipment on Arthur's body, the situation would be different.
Bedivere, who can now climb and move flexibly on the rock wall, can support Arthur in an emergency, and the situation has become that only Arthur walks the suspension bridge alone, which is safe in all aspects. increase.
Nevertheless, there are many uncertainties. Specifically, it can only be played on the spot
Arthur took a bold step forward, one foot on the drawbridge.
Old wooden bridges are fastened with hemp ropes, so that it looks like a bridge. The wooden boards and thick hemp ropes have been placed in this kind of cave for a long time, and gradually they are also stained with the humidity in the cave, which looks damp and moldy, and looks like it will be broken at any time. It is neither safe nor discreet to walk on such a suspension bridge. Even though Arthur stood on tiptoe and squatted slowly, every time he took a step, his weight would still cause the wooden board under his feet to rub against the hemp rope, making a strange creaking sound. Sneaking on a suspension bridge like this is impossible, so it's better to finish the road quickly and run to another rock-cut footing ten yards away. But running fast has also become impossible. Arthur walks on the suspension bridge like this, and it feels like it is about to collapse. If Arthur runs faster, maybe the whole suspension bridge will snap off. into two pieces. Even if it continued, the damp and moldy old wooden boards under Arthur's feet seemed unable to support the weight of Arthur's foot on it when he was running at full strength. In the worst case, the wooden board under Arthur's feet suddenly cracked, and Arthur fell from the bridge hole caused by the broken wooden board and fell into the bottomless abyss below.
It would be an understatement to say that this is a natural danger. Arthur walked carefully, not only distributing the pressure of his legs evenly on the two wooden boards of the suspension bridge, but also using his hands to support the thick hemp ropes on both sides to borrow strength, thinking that this would at least reduce the pressure on the wooden boards under his feet. Some. Arthur, who used both hands and feet to cross the bridge in a strange posture of half-squatting and half-walking, actually didn't even have the strength to use his hands to meet the enemy. If he was attacked by the enemy from the air at this time, the situation would be very bad.
At that time, he would have to rely on Bedivere's support, and Arthur just hoped that the stupid wolf could help him divert the enemy, at least until Arthur reached the rock platform in front of him. Arthur, who was down-to-earth there, could draw his sword and join the battle.
The more things he doesn't want to happen, the more likely they will happen. After walking less than a third of the way, there was still at least six yards ahead to reach the platform, and a strange noise had already sounded around.
Although he couldn't understand what the sound was, Arthur knew that it definitely didn't happen naturally, it must be the sound or cry of an ambush soldier hiding in the dark. He quickened his pace—perhaps twenty-five percent quicker—and moved forward without breaking the drawbridge. However, his acceleration was of little use, and the enemy attack that was due was still here.
The "darkness" surging around is actually a swarm of bats. The number is estimated to be at least three hundred. And each individual has a slap-sized, sturdy and violent vampire bat. This kind of bat has an extremely rare population in Africa, but they are included in the category of highly monitored dangerous animals because of the infectious disease, and their appearance is very special and easy to remember. King Arthur was informed when he went to Egypt to perform official duties. passed, and remembered what these vampire bats looked like. Although he knew from the beginning that he might be attacked while crossing the drawbridge, the fact that he was actually attacked by such a dangerous vampire bat, and the other party still flocked to Arthur on a large scale, still surprised the King of Knights.
Ordinary people may be too frightened to move when they see this scene, or at least stay for a few seconds, losing the most important opportunity to escape. But King Arthur is someone who has experienced strong winds and waves. Even if he is stunned, it is only half a second, followed by the countermeasures that his brain thought out in a tenth of a second------
Fight? impossible. Moving around on such an unstable suspension bridge will only accelerate the destruction of the suspension bridge and allow yourself to fall. And even if he fought, he couldn't deal with the vampire bats attacking from every direction, and even if the suspension bridge was not broken, he couldn't drive away the bats in groups.
Accelerate to escape? Neither. The suspension bridge is so broken, Arthur will run fast and it will definitely break, and Arthur will still end up falling off the bridge and dying. Maybe after he fell into a meat sauce and died tragically, these **** bats would wantonly **** all the blood from his **** corpse.
You can't fight, you can't run, so the only thing you can do next is------
Without even a second thought, the King of Knights raised the Seraph holy sword and activated [Spellbreaker].
Boom! ------The white, holy light spreads out from the bladeless blade (actually the scabbard), and the range is very large, almost covering the entire cave. This is a kind of photon explosion, but the impact force accompanying it can actually be controlled to a very small amount (how to control it, even Arthur himself can't tell, but he can control the shock wave when he is consciously controlled) the size of). The explosion shook the entire suspension bridge where Arthur was standing, but the suspension bridge held on and did not break. The strong light and impact of this photon explosion drowned out the vampire bats rushing in from all directions, causing them to disperse instantly!
According to Arthur's idea, these vampire bat swarms should be raised by the witch in this cave, or even controlled by the witch using some kind of mind control spell, and they are specially guarded in this deep cave with a suspension bridge. to fight the invaders. If they are controlled, the explosion of the [Spellbreaker] is enough to dispel the mind control spell applied to the vampire bats, so that they will no longer listen to the witch's command. If they are not controlled, but purely follow their own biological instincts and want to **** the human blood from Arthur, then it is simpler, the strong light is enough to drive these vampire bats away and let them run away. Because bats are originally animals that live in the dark, their eyes have adapted to the dark ~IndoMTL.com~ but at the same time degenerated to the point where they are afraid of bright light. [Spellbreaker] In addition to the impact, there is also strong light, which is actually the excess light emitted by the photons escaping at high speed in all directions. The vampire bats, whose eyes are so strong that they are frightening enough to shine, are half-blind. When they are directly hit by this strong light, I am afraid that even their eyeballs will feel a scorching pain!
Arthur's guess was correct. The spellbreaker did disperse the bat swarm. The vampire bat swarm that had surrounded the blond boy from all directions was instantly pierced by the strong light and collapsed. The bats were not only blinded by the strong light, but also dazed by the impact. Many bats began to fly around, hitting their companions at the same time, hurting each other. Some weaker individuals were directly stunned and fell like raindrops!
But------
Clap! Arthur could clearly hear something snapping next to him, a hemp rope on the suspension bridge.
His range of motion is still too large, the wooden boards and hemp ropes on the suspension bridge can't stand his toss and start to break!
"Run!!------" shouted Bedivere, who was waiting on the other side of the drawbridge.
