Chapter 248 Preparing to start Skellig's real boss battle

The corridor was narrow and gloomy. As soon as Lan En and others entered, they felt a scent of sourness and rotten smell coming to their faces. As they were walking, they would step on some indescribable things from time to time.

There are a lot of bones scattered in the corners, elk, snow rabbit, wolf, bear, and even human skulls, leg bones and other bones. This corridor does not connect to the outside world, and the air inside is turbid. It is obviously regarded by the ice trolls as a warehouse-like existence, and these bones are used as collections or decorations by them.

At this time, there was only one living person in this "warehouse".

"Harold!" Easter called out the name of the living person in surprise.

The Harold Chief, who had been searching for through hardships, fell on a pile of bones, like a sack piled up at will. He had gray hair and big beard, family totems and tattoos of beasts on his arms and back, and his figure was extremely strong, especially the pair of iron-forged iron arms.

But at this moment, his hair had been condensed into strands of soil and ice, and large blood scabs had almost covered all of his tattoos, looking extremely miserable.

Immediately, the Tursek guards strode forward and helped up the kidnapped Todaloch lord and began to carefully check his situation. After a while, they nodded slightly at Easter.

"Already alive." The guard judged.

East breathed a sigh of relief.

Another guard who knew first aid on the battlefield continued to conduct a simple physical examination for Harold to determine whether the other party had any serious injuries and deal with it in time to avoid secondary damage when transported back.

But as long as the person is still alive and will not die for a while, he can bring back the Oak Ring to treat him. If it really doesn't work, there is Lan.

Easter was relieved. The mission to enter the mountain was completed and the patriarch of the large clan who was kidnapped by the monsters was rescued. He was also very lucky to have not encountered the ice giant, and even no soldier had any casualties. Everything went so smoothly.

Just as the soldiers were checking the situation, Harold's eyelids suddenly trembled a few times and moaned.

"Who... East?"

"It's me, you're saved." East squatted down and comforted the middle-aged man who still had fear on his face.

Harold looked around with confusion and flinch, without relaxing at all because of Easter's words.

"Est?" He repeated the question again.

"It's me." East continued patiently, and at the same time, he used his eyes to signal the guards around to help Harold up and prepare to leave.

"No, Easter, you shouldn't have come!" Harold suddenly screamed in a shrill voice, "You don't understand, that monster, the ice giant, you don't understand what it is now!"

"It's okay Harold." Easter whispered, "We didn't meet the ice giant. After that, the seven major families will jointly send troops to wipe out the other side. No matter what kind of monster it is, they will not be able to become enemies with the entire Skellig."

They carried Harold back. The dark corridor was narrow and long, and the soldiers at the front held high torches, but they still couldn't dispel the cold and haze of the body like a tars in the snow-capped mountains.

Harold was unconscious and was half awake during the transportation process. But suddenly, he seemed to be surrounded by nightmare:

"No, it will come back, Easter, you need to be quicker!"

Harold screamed in horror, and before he finished speaking, an explosion suddenly came from the front.

Everyone's eyes suddenly condensed. What happened to the troops stationed behind?

Lann and East looked at each other and suddenly accelerated their pace. Soon a fire appeared from the front, and the messy shouts of killing suddenly came into everyone's ears.

...

I don’t know when, a continuous stream of monsters rushed towards the guards of the Tursek family from all directions.

There was only one kind of monster surrounding them. Their bodies looked like water ghosts, but they were even more disgusting than water ghosts. Their heads were covered with bloated folds like sandpie dogs, forming a flesh hood, and sparse hairs as thick as intestines at the back of the head swayed as they leaped and moved. The tendons and fascia directly exposed to the air were connected to a flesh-and-blood shell, with sharp teeth and ferocious appearance.

The devil of corruption.

The Tulsek soldiers encountered this kind of monster when they supported the Todaloch family, but at that time they were very small.

It seems that the Ice Giant attacked the Todaroch family as a temporary intention, and did not spend much time gathering a group of monsters that they could command, so only all the mobility monsters followed - as a result, they were wiped out by Lann and his soldiers and druids.

Because the corrupt food demons were short and unable to cross mountains and ridges, there were not many people participating in the previous battle. But at this moment, they obviously had nests nearby, so they gathered a large number of people to encircle the Tursek soldiers here.

"The formation of the shield guard organization in the front, don't fight melee, use bows and arrows!" Easter was not there, and his adjutant took over the command. He had experienced fighting with the corrupt food demon before, and he had mastered certain tricks.

Lann was the fastest, and he had reached the entrance of the cave at this moment. After hearing the adjutant's order, he couldn't help but explode.

"You can't shoot arrows! This is a mine!" Lane shouted, "The corrupt food demons are too dense. As long as one of them is detonated, it will immediately trigger a chain explosion, and a landslide will collapse here!"

"Lord Lannister..." The soldiers who were placing arrows were hesitant and fell into a dilemma.

Fortunately, Lanen immediately painted a layer of [Qunen Seal], and then a golden light flashed at the forefront of the team, spreading his left palm and pinching out the [Alder Seal] handprint.

"We found Harold, everyone retreated in the direction they came!" Easter also ran out of the corridor and whispered his troops, "Leave it to Lane here!"

The corridor when everyone came was the spaciousest, and the only one where no corrupt food demons emerged. They conducted detailed investigations along the way to prevent the retreat from being blocked, and they were sure that they could evacuate safely.

None of the soldiers who received the king's order objected and immediately began to exit the mine in an orderly manner.

...

Lane took a deep breath.

Although he took the lead, he actually had no idea whether he could stop these corrupt demons from explosion after using the [bone-killing] blizzard to freeze these corrupt demons into ice.

But it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. Lann did not intend to kill these corrupted demons. He just planned to control the continuous and steady spray of the storm with his magic power, and with the size of these corrupted demons being enough to knock them away and delay their pace.

After all, the corrupt and veterinarians are too fatal in this terrain.

Other demon hunters obviously noticed Lann's plan, blocking a corridor and making gestures, preparing to delay the evacuation of the army.

【Aldefa…】

"boom!"

——The corrupt and food demon closest to Lann exploded without warning.

The shock wave and the stones that were raised hit Lane's protective [Qunen Seal], causing waves.

Behind the exploding rotten demon, several monsters were overturned to the ground by the explosion of their companions' explosions, and then their hands and feet began to twitch uncontrollably, and their nauseous and bloated bodies began to twist like a inferior balloon and began to expand irregularly, as if several gas flow columns were rushing around in their bodies.

Lan's heart was cold.

He was sure that he had not done any offensive behavior to the charcoal pheasant just now, but the charcoal pheasant exploded like this.

And there are more corrupt and food demons in front of you to follow.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"

At the same time, explosions were heard from other corridors one after another.

"Go forward at full speed!" Easter didn't know what was going on here, but he knew that there must be an accident. He quickly ordered the soldiers to take Harold to leave the mine at full speed, and he personally led his guard to break the rear.

...

What exactly went wrong?

Lane kept retreating, and the violent explosion had broken several beams and pine pillars used for support. The other four demon hunters had also withdrawn from the corridors they guarded, and rock blocks kept falling from them.

"No, these corrupt food demons are not right!" shouted Kogrim, "I didn't use the magic seals at all, nor did I touch them at all, but they just exploded in front of me. I guess the same thing is true for you!"

Cohen listened to the rumbling sounds around him with a serious expression, and looked at the falling rock dust and stones: "Are these corrupt demons already seriously injured before and forced themselves to walk to us before they detonate?"

They didn't worry about themselves, knowing that Lane could use the unique "Ancient Blood" to leave the mine at any time and summon them.

"No, I didn't see any scars on these monsters. Even if there were, they were not so fatal." Ged denied the two companions' conjectures. "They were more like they were detonated by themselves and launched suicide attacks - just to cause landslides in the mine."

Gede looked up at the increasingly trembling mine cave, signaling everyone to gather together and prepare to open the advanced protective cover of the [Qunen Seal].

The first guards of Tursek left had already taken Harold to leave the mine. They blew horns to report the situation at this moment, making Easter's face clear.

"Why do these corrupt eaters do this? This is not in line with the instinct of living creatures."

Geralt took a deep breath, and a guess came to his heart. He replied with a serious expression: "Unless there is an unspeakable existence to order them to do so..."

Everyone's expressions changed. Who else has this ability among the mountains?

There is only one answer - the Ice Giant.

So, why did the Ice Giant order so many corrupt demons to come to the mine at this time and launch a suicide attack?

Lann's pupils shrank suddenly and shouted at Easter: "Let the soldiers outside be alert, and a battle may occur at any time!"

East's adjutant picked up the horn, but before he could blew it, a scream of despair came in from outside first.

The narrow corridor trapped the sound inside, forming a response, and it kept causing cold sweat to seep out of the hands of the soldiers still in the cave holding swords.

The vibration inside became more and more intense, but this time the vibration did not come from the mine corridors that were unstable due to the explosion, but from the underground.

It seemed as if the earth under his feet was beginning to be hit by people in a rude and regular manner, and the muffled sound continued to be transmitted from the bottom of the guards of the people to their senses. They knew that this was the pace of the giant.

Lan'en's eyes lit up with an emerald light. He was ready to launch [Telection] to transfer everyone out.

However, the next second, a loud noise suddenly came from their heads, and a skylight was chiseled from the rock wall. It was not sunny outside, there was no light, only cold air and boulders as big as fists poured into the hole.

A rough, ugly, and savage head appeared in an empty place with a face. The head was huge, hard, covered with folds that looked like rock cracks, with cold colors on it. A strand of brown-red hair grew out of the folds, like dead trees on the top of the mountain.

The facial features on the head above the face are distorted, the eyes are very large, the nose is short and thick, and the teeth are intertwined in the mouth. The hideous and cruel are the information conveyed by this face.

But at this moment, this picture can scare the child's face in all the oil paintings and illustrations, but his eyes reveal an extremely incongruous look - that's confusion.

This confused look looked into the cave hall and spit out a word:

"god?"
