Chapter 058 Strengthening
"That group of people, didn't they come here on purpose to send us off?"
Colin had some guesses in his mind. Apart from the guy who slid to give the giant monster a snack, the other mobs were not attacked, so there must be some who could escape if they wanted to.
But it seems that no one was seen running away. Instead, it seemed that they rushed forward excitedly, as if they were seeking their own death.
Colin had to suspect that they were here to deliver the gift.
Moreover, it seemed that they entered through some secret passage, which would probably be impossible without someone from within the church leading the way.
Plus, there’s that “eating extravaganza” that attracts people away.
There might be some scheme behind all this that he didn't know about, and the incomprehensible situation they saw might be part of the plan.
But before he could think about it, there was another violent tremor behind him, and several pieces of cracked rocks fell from the ceiling. Colin adjusted his position in time and was not affected.
"Forget it. No matter what plans and plots they have, facing a monster of that size, all I can do is choose to believe them."
Colin felt that according to the description of the mission, there was a chance that Bonfire Company would directly intervene.
He had more confidence in the company's strength and believed that they could deal with the terrible monster in the church, except for the "Advent Protocol".
God knows if intervention is really going to happen, it might go awry because of this agreement...
I hope the company can be more effective by then...
Colin took a breath, adjusted his breathing, and then continued to move forward. He soon left the crumbling church and fled outside.
At this time, except for Tang Ken, there were only two guards left out of the original six who escaped with him, and behind him, some panicked church members were rushing out.
"What happened?"
As soon as Colin came out, Helena and others surrounded him. Hundreds of soldiers followed her and looked at the church that was shaking from time to time with horror on their faces.
What on earth could cause such a noise like the earth shaking?
"Escape first."
Colin didn't waste any words and expressed his attitude in one word.
On the way, he quickly and briefly told Helena what he had seen and heard inside the church.
"An unformed entity that is over ten meters in size?"
The old butler's face was full of disbelief, and he suddenly felt a lingering fear in his heart, as if he recalled the huge lives that appeared in the fog during the magic fog disaster, and recalled the fear of being dominated by it.
Moreover, compared to the one that appeared during the magic fog disaster, the one is likely to be even more terrifying.
"It wants to sacrifice everyone in the city before it really descends? Is Lawrence crazy for a ceremony of this magnitude? Doesn't he know what he is summoning?"
The old butler cursed: "The evil god may come because of this!"
"I'm afraid he planned all of this. However, it's too late to say this now. That thing is simply beyond our ability to deal with now."
Colin and the others walked quickly towards the castle building in the city. "At least in the next few days, it should not be able to break through. The problem we need to deal with is mainly the beast disease that ordinary people are infected with."
In this regard, he also had no idea why ordinary people would suddenly become ill.
Warden Carde, who was accompanying him, said, "I will arrest those people from the Holy Healing Church and interrogate them. I don't believe that they have gained nothing after so many months..."
"good."
Colin nodded . Whether it was finding the mode of transmission or the means of protection, or at least identifying in advance which people were infected with beastism, all three methods were crucial to him!
If these points cannot be achieved, then the subsequent rescue operations will simply harm oneself.
Suddenly, a hulking figure rushed out from the alley and blocked the way ahead.
A pair of eyes emitting faint green light stared at everyone.
"The first stage, mid to late stage of 'beastiality'."
A tall and thin man beside Warden Calder saw this, held the cross sword in his right hand, lowered his body, and stared at the monster: "Leave it to me!"
After saying this, without waiting for the warden beside him to stop him, he rushed forward, like a cheetah that instantly accelerated, and reached the side of the monster in an instant.
The long sword was swung, chopping off the head of the "beastiality" patient.
"This sudden burst of moves is quite interesting..."
Colin secretly commented that if there was a chance, it would be best to learn it.
All his current strength comes from the bonuses of various props, and not much is derived from his body itself.
However, just as I finished my evaluation, I saw something strange happening ahead.
With a bang.
Click.
The sound of broken bones could be heard clearly.
The tall and thin man screamed and flew backwards. His right hand was broken and was shaking in front of his chest, pulled by skin and flesh. As for the long sword, it had already fallen to the ground.
But he couldn't take care of this. Looking at the beastman who pounced on him after the successful counterattack, his breathing stagnated and his pupils shrank slightly.
Bang!
At this moment, a flash of fire appeared behind him and a bullet shot into the enemy's forehead.
The beastman's attack came to an abrupt halt, but he did not fall down. His entire body froze in place.
At this time, another tall and strong figure rushed out. It was Carde, whose fat had transformed into muscle.
He dragged the heavy sword in his hand and split the monster into two on the spot.
"What are you still hiding there for?"
Colin scolded the dazed man, put away the smoking revolver, frowned, and looked at the first-stage beast patient with a bloody hole in the middle of his forehead.
Others may not realize what happened.
But Colin saw it more clearly. The beast patient in the middle and late stages of that stage lowered his head one step ahead of the almost one-hit kill attack just now, and narrowly avoided beheading.
In the subsequent counterattack, if the tall and thin man had not reacted in time, he might have been stabbed through the heart by the monster's hand.
He was also familiar with the ability used by the beastman - "Fatal Insight"!
It can give a person a second or two of advance notice of an impending fatal attack.
In a life-and-death battle, this ability is a sure-fire way to kill.
Its weaknesses are also very obvious. It cannot perceive multiple fatal threats in a short period of time, and it cannot be effective when the mind is affected.
When dealing with the human body stitching monster, Colin's "Fatal Insight" was dispersed by the opponent's mental attack. For some people who are prepared and aware, this passive ability is not difficult to deal with.
But this is not the key point. The key point is that Colin remembers that the "beast transformation" in the middle and late stages of the first stage should not have this ability!
"Could it be that because of the appearance of that thing, the 'beastiality' has been strengthened as a whole?"
While Colin was guessing, Calder came to his assistant and pulled him up: "I told you, don't rush forward if something happens. Even if you don't want to think about yourself, you should think about your father. He probably doesn't want to see his son die like him..."
"Thank you." The assistant didn't say anything.
"You should thank that..."
Warden Carde pointed at Colin. If Colin had not acted in time, he might not have been able to rescue the person intact.
Although he already knew Colin's identity at this moment, there was still a veil between the two parties that had not yet been pierced.
At this time, screams and growls were heard from other places .
