Chapter 43 Black Lake Nine
Jilan fought with the monster in prison uniform for a while, and also spent some energy.
He leaned under a pine tree to rest for a while, then stood up again and continued walking deeper into the forest.
While on the way, Gilan checked the ammunition preparation status of the short-barreled revolver.
The two fully loaded speed loaders have been used up, leaving only three rounds of 9mm bullets in the revolving cylinder.
‘If we encounter another battle, we can only use the weapons stored in the dimensional space. ’
Gilan thought to himself and inserted the revolver back into the holster.
Rustling...
Rustling...
At this time, a subtle movement came from the forest ahead, accompanied by slow and heavy footsteps. Voice.
Gilan stopped, hid his body behind the pine trees on one side, and looked around.
I saw four or five deformed figures in brown prison uniforms wandering among the dense and tall pine trees and behind the bushes.
They may be tall, with gnarled muscles and fleshy wings on their backs, or they may be as skinny as wood, but their arms are slender, their fingers are as sharp as knives, and their skin is as shiny as gray and black scales.
What's more, it has grown seven or eight legs and is walking with its legs bent like a spider. Its upper body covers its face with both hands, lowering its head and constantly making horrifying crying sounds.
‘What on earth are these monsters...are they really demons that ran out of the lake? ’
Ji Lan's face was solemn.
Fighting a prison uniform monster alone, he is confident enough to kill it. Even two of them can barely compete... But with three, four, or even more, he can only temporarily Avoid the edge.
And Jilan was not sure about the other two unknown monsters that he had never come into contact with.
‘The Apocalypse Dream will not lead me to the historical chronicles in the library for no reason. I believe that they are directly related to the burned prisoner of war camp. ’
He secretly thought.
As his mind turned, Jilan had quietly left his place, planning to avoid the area where these prison uniform monsters roamed, and continue towards the black lake deep in the forest.
However, a harsh howl, like a baby crying, suddenly sounded from behind!
“Wow——”
Jilan turned around and saw a monster with the size of a child wearing a large prison uniform. It didn’t know when it climbed to the waist of a pine tree. On the big head covered with tumors like a honeycomb, more than a dozen naked eyes stared straight at him, and the squeezed mouth below kept screaming:
"Wow - wow -"
Click, click, click!
Pap-tat-tat! !
A burst of intensive noise suddenly occurred, and the wandering monsters in prison uniforms were instantly attracted by the cry, and rushed towards Jilan's location one by one!
“Fuck you!” Gilan was furious, pulled out the short-barreled revolver and pulled the trigger at the short monster.
Bang bang bang bang! !
The last three bullets fired, one hit the pine wood, and the other two missed.
The short monster was surprisingly agile. When Jilan raised his hand, it started moving. In a flash, it circled the pine tree and climbed to the top. It kept opening its mouth and screaming, attracting other monsters with its harsh sound. .
Jilan listened to the approaching sounds behind him and knew that the monsters in prison uniforms had discovered him, so he ran away.
He is agile in his movements and moves through the forest like a bobcat. Mud, shrubs and rocks cannot stop him. In just two minutes, he has gone thousands of meters away, leaving those monsters behind. .
The second stage of "White Cross Body Training" "Yellow Bile" focuses on improving the dexterity and endurance of Jilan's physique, which allows him to easily burst into the extreme running speed of ordinary people, and it is more durable .
However, Gilan's expression was still ugly.
Because he noticed that the short monster with the deformed head was like a dog-skin plaster that could not be shaken off, jumping and climbing between the pine trees, always following him, and constantly screaming:
"Wow - wow -" In the silent forest, the cry was harsh and abrupt, echoing for a long time.
'Those monsters can always know my location based on their cries, and will chase after me endlessly... If this continues, it will even attract more monsters, then Big trouble! ’
Jilan secretly thought.
He listened to the noisy screams in his ears, with a ferocious expression on his face. The moment he raised his hand, a burst of colorful light bloomed, and an old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun appeared in his hand.
“Have you had enough noise?! I really thought I couldn’t do anything to you!”
The shotgun is the weapon that Gilan is most familiar with. Not to mention that the bullets are perfect, but within thirty meters The target can still be hit easily.
Bang bang! !
The two shots were fired almost simultaneously.
The scream at the top of the pine tree suddenly stopped.
Soon, a short figure fell from the sky and hit the ground with a splash of black and yellow blood.
Without saying a word, Jilan ran over and kicked him out.
Bang! !
The deformed monster, which had one arm and one leg shattered by the shotgun, was kicked by his ferocious legs while it was twisting and struggling. It flew straight backwards like a soccer ball shot by an athlete at the goal.
With a bang, the already seriously injured monster hit a pine tree, causing the tree trunk to shake.
The broken body fell like mud. Jilan walked over and stretched out his fingers stained with colored light, and touched it gently. The monster immediately began to decay, and finally turned into dust and disappeared.
The colored numbers in Jilan's eyes jumped from "23" to "25".
He sneered in relief, loaded the double-barreled shotgun, and ran away from the scene.
After a while.
Jilan completely shook off the pursuit of the monster group.
Judging from the last sound he heard, he estimated that the number of monsters reached at least double digits. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise if he was surrounded, he would have to use the power of "Bailan" to forcefully escape from the movie... But that would expose his trump card.
Gilan didn’t want to do this unless he had to.
He continued walking in the forest for dozens of minutes, and his field of vision suddenly became wider.
Ji Lan was overjoyed, and immediately stepped over the bushes in front of her, and a lake suddenly came into view.
Surrounded by mountains in the distance, the gloomy sky is reflected on the lake, making the entire lake appear a dim dark green, like an ancient and mysterious irregular round mirror.
The lake is surrounded by a gravel beach more than ten meters wide, and the overall color is dark gray.
‘This is the “Black Lake”? ’
Gilan did not approach rashly, but held his breath and looked around.
The surrounding environment is quite quiet, it can even be said to be dead silent. Not to mention the human figure, not even a wild animal can be seen. The atmosphere is extremely depressing and strange.
At this time, Gilan suddenly noticed that at the other end of the lake, a narrow wooden trestle could be faintly seen, leading to a small wooden house built on the lake.
‘Could that be the hermitage of the “alchemist” Rembrandt? ’
Jilan’s heart moved.
He took a deep breath, held the shotgun and stepped cautiously, deliberately keeping a distance from the black lake, and walked along the tidal flat towards the other end of the lake.
