My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 76 Alien
There were seven humanoid monsters in total. Their faces were blue or purple, reflecting the red light of the flames, and they looked particularly strange.

One of them had a face that had become blurry, as if his facial features had been wiped away by some unknown force.

At least one arm of these 'people' disappeared, replaced by thick black tentacles.

The strongest monster is more than two meters tall, has no legs below the waist and abdomen, and has four or five tentacles growing out.

Crown saw the pupils of these monsters disappear. The eyeballs were covered with clusters of red, yellow, blue and other colored filaments. He could even clearly see that the filaments were still twisting.

The monsters stretched their heads, opened their mouths wide, and made "hissing" sounds.

The volume is not loud, but it is very penetrating. When you listen to it, it feels like a snake crawling through the grass.

"Wow, my God, what did I see? Why did old Jon become like this, and Joya?" Balu stood on tiptoes and exclaimed after seeing the situation outside.

"Shoot," Crown shouted, echoing far into the quiet night.

Although these monsters were some people's former friends, no one hesitated, and those with crossbows took aim.

After experiencing the gray fog, the combat literacy of these ordinary people has improved significantly. The progress from scratch is always so obvious.

The monsters screamed and rushed towards the wall. The wooden piles laid randomly and irregularly outside significantly reduced their speed, but also affected the accuracy of these unskilled crossbowmen. Most of the crossbow arrows were nailed to the wooden piles.

The arrow body was deeply embedded in the wooden pile, and the tail was still "buzzing" and vibrating.

Occasionally, crossbow arrows hit monsters, but they continued to move forward without feeling any pain.

Crown drew his revolver, aimed at the head of the strongest monster, and fired as it passed between several wooden stakes.

When the gunfire rang out, the monster's skull was opened by bullets.

As if a magic box had been opened, densely packed yellow tentacles burst out, emitting a little bit of fluorescence, like a blooming sea anemone, and the monster's movements stagnated slightly.

"Bang, bang", there were two more gunshots.

The center of the sea anemone that Croun aimed at this time, in his opinion, the place that originally contained the brains should still be the monster's weak point.

All the bullets hit the expected target, but the monster showed no signs of stopping and instead roared in his direction.

Isn't the brain their weak point anymore?

This thought flashed in his mind, and at the same time, he pulled the trigger again, blowing out the eyeballs of the still and roaring monster, without any need to calculate the movement trajectory.

This time two black tentacles emerged from the monster's eye sockets, as long as an adult's arm and as thick as a thumb.

There was no expression on the monster's face. He stretched out his hand and pulled out a black beard, put it in his mouth and chewed it, releasing green liquid.

"Ugh," a young man next to him squatted down while holding on to the wooden wall and made a sound of retching.

Seeing that the firearm was ineffective, Crown felt that even if he could shoot the monster into a hedgehog, it probably wouldn't be fatal.

He holstered his pistol, drew his sword and shouted, "Stop shooting."

Following his order, the night watchmen stopped attacking from a distance. He held the gap between the tips of the two wooden stakes with his hands, jumped out of the wall with a slight jump.

Crown stepped on the wooden stake and charged forward with his sword in hand.

When the monsters saw someone jumping out, they all rushed towards this side.

The monster that was chewing vigorously broke off the snacks and jumped onto the wooden stake. It opened its teeth and claws and pounced on the visitor. The tentacles on its head and waist were flying like a chrysanthemum with black edges and yellow stamens.

When he jumped out of the wall, Crown had already turned on bullet time.

He wanted to capture a living creature and dissect it to study where the weaknesses of this mutated human were. Any creature would have weaknesses, as long as it had a pair of eyes that were good at discovering them.Crown's sword circled the monster and swung it in a circle.

The cold light flickered, and the night watchmen watching the battle felt their eyes blurred, and saw the knight ducking sideways to another tall wooden stake.

When they looked again, they found that the deformed monster had lost most of its tentacles and arms and fell to the ground.

After Croun cooked the strongest monster, another monster jumped up and tried to bite his leg.

He stepped sideways, raised his sword, and the monster's head flew out, spurting out smelly green blood.

The monster landed on the ground, and its headless body turned around and fled in the direction it came from.

Xu realized that the enemy was powerful, and the remaining monsters turned around and rushed towards the gray mist.

Crown didn't pursue them. These monsters that seemed to be mutated by ordinary people were not difficult for him to deal with now. What he had to do was to find the real weaknesses of the monsters and tell the ordinary people who were keeping watch how to deal with them.

He lowered his head, glanced at the tentacles that were still twisting wildly on the ground, and began to search for any thicker long sticks on the ground, ready to string the monster back for dissection.

Before he could make any discovery, the monster's chest and abdomen were opened, revealing a white squid-like mollusk with a spindle-shaped head the size of a football.

Inexplicably, Crown remembered the movie Alien he watched in his previous life.

When this thought flashed in his mind, he had already drawn his gun and fired, giving the remaining three bullets in the revolver to the mollusk that had just emerged.

This time the monster was shot through easily, and the kinetic energy of the bullet lifted it up and hit the wooden pile behind it.

Crown jumped down and cut it open with a single stroke of his sword.

The dark green liquid swayed and made a "sizzling" sound after falling. It was obvious that the monster's body fluids had a strong corrosive effect.

The little monster was twitching violently and rolling on the ground.

He used his sword to split a wooden stake into sixteen pieces, cut it into a short spear, skewered some tentacles and two halves of the monster, and finally took out two No. [-] holy water and sprinkled it on the polluted land.

Leaping onto the wooden stake again to use his strength, Croun flew over the wall like a light bird and landed steadily on the wooden frame behind.

At this time, three groups of night watchmen had gathered here, and they looked at the fallen knight with awe.

Crown waved his hand: "The mutants have been dealt with, let's disperse and cheer up tonight."

"Go back to your original positions, keep a good watch, and do your own thing," Del said, stepping forward to help get things.

"No need," Crown said as he moved his hand away, "I haven't figured out how active these things are yet. I'll take them myself."

The two got off the wooden frame and quickly returned to the tower.

In the open space at the gate, Kroun lit a few oil lamps with holy water, and they suddenly became as bright as day.

He picked up the sword and began slicing research to test the activity of the monster's tentacles.

When the real monster burst out of the human body, he judged that it should be a parasitic unknown creature, and those human bodies were the breeding ground for it.

"Have such mutants appeared during vigils before?" Crown asked.

"No," Del held a hammer and stapled the sliced ​​tissue to the wooden board at his feet.

"Occasionally, mutated beasts rush out, are shot by crossbows or firearms, and then turn around and run away. I have never seen anything so weird."
