Chapter 2520: Last Chance
He was only a few steps away from the exit, but was stopped in front of the finish line.
Guan Yun also wanted to go up and challenge like Xu Ning, but he would have gone straight up if Lin Ran hadn't held him back.
"Don't come one by one." Lin Ran whispered.
If you don't find a way to deal with them and attack them one by one, they will just be knocked out of the tree by that guy.
Seeing that Lin Ran and his group did not attack, the black shadow monster screamed and rushed towards Xu Ning.
"Xu Ning!" Wang Jinpeng's voice was filled with nervousness. He tried his best to step forward to help, but was grabbed by Lin Ran.
With his current body, let alone help, it would be good if he doesn't have any side effects!
Xu Ning clutched his left shoulder. The old injury from the last battle with Zongzi recurred.
However, he still reacted based on instinct. Before being penetrated by the monster's claws, he pushed on the ground with his right leg and rolled to the left to avoid the monster's attack.
The monster's sharp claws were inserted directly into the tree wall behind him.
Xu Ning rolled over like a carp. The short knife he regarded as a treasure had been broken. Although he was reluctant to part with it, he still dropped the hilt in his hand and faced the monster with his bare hands.
The monster's sharp claws were embedded in the wall, but it did not affect its movements. It pulled its arm back, and an entire tree trunk was pulled out by it.
In addition to monsters blocking the way, there is actually another threat approaching.
It's the carrion insect that keeps climbing up the steps.
Originally, they were at a certain distance from the carrion insects because of the flames and broken steps, but the appearance of the monster seriously slowed down their progress, and now they were approaching the platform above.
"Calm down." Lin Ran encouraged himself mentally when he saw the dark swarm of carrion insects behind him.
At this time, Wang Jinpeng also noticed something unusual behind him and shouted loudly: "Carrion worms, they... are coming!"
"Tsk."
Everyone seemed weak at this time.
This time, they really encountered a crisis.
Trapped on the platform at the top of the tree, with soldiers chasing them behind them, they had never felt that the God of Death was so close to them.
Especially when the monster just ripped off a piece of bark from the tree, the platform connected to the inner wall of the tree began to shake violently.
Huang Hao and Liu Jingfeng swayed and knocked down the nearby wall.
If the platform hadn't been a fully enclosed structure, they would have been thrown to the bottom the moment they took it.
It can be considered a blessing among misfortunes, at least on the platform, there is almost no place for them to fall.
But Lin Ran felt that this was a burden. If it was the same as the steps, they could use one person to distract the monster and throw him off the platform. It might be better than the current situation.
Now they have to face the powerful monsters in front of them, and also have to guard against the swarm of carrion insects chasing after them.
While he was thinking about these things, the first batch of carrion insects had already crawled to the edge of the platform.
Wang Jinpeng, who was at the edge, quickly got up and approached Lin Ran and the others.
Unconsciously, they were already surrounded!
Some carrion insects even jumped up and flew toward Wang Jinpeng.
With a "pop!", the first carrion insect that jumped over was knocked away by Guan Yun with a shovel.
This is Wang Jinpeng's favorite weapon. The firearms Guan Yun is good at have fallen off the cliff, so he can only borrow Wang Jinpeng's weapons.
"Go to the back." Guan Yun said without changing his expression or heartbeat.
Wang Jinpeng screamed, climbed up, and quickly took out another shovel from his backpack. Although it was shorter than the shovel, he couldn't care about anything else at this time and could only use it for self-defense.
"I'm with you." Wang Jinpeng tightened the gauze on his leg and stood up.
The first carrion insect was shot away from the edge of the platform and fell to the bottom. Due to its size, it brought down several carrion insects that were still desperately climbing up.
However, it had little effect on the dense swarm of carrion insects.
No one would have thought that the one who brought the greatest danger to the team would be the seemingly weakest carrion insect.
At this time, he kept climbing up the steps.
"Okay." Guan Yun gritted his teeth and saw that the swarm of carrion insects was about to climb onto the platform. He also knew that he could not block all the swarms by himself, so he could only try to buy time for Lin Ran and the others. .
He still believed in his heart that Lin Ran could think of a way to kill the black monster.
On the other side, when Xu Ning staggered and prepared for battle, the black monster clung to Xu Ning at an extremely fast speed, with a black face with only blood-red eyes visible, almost touching Xu Ning's face. face.
"hey-hey!"
After the black monster got closer, it made a strange sound, as if it was laughing at Xu Ning's overestimation.
At the same time, Xu Ning felt a sharp pain in his thigh. The muscles in his left foot instantly tightened in pain and he lost his balance.
At this moment, he was standing on the edge of the platform against the wall. He lost his footing and fell sideways, hitting the wall.
The black monster's attack had not stopped yet. It made a strange cry from its mouth, and raised Xu Ning in the air with one hand. After grabbing it, he threw it directly towards the other side of the platform.
It was on the side near the steps. Due to the appearance of the black monster, they did not notice that this side was actually empty.
Xu Ning was thrown out of the air and thrown to the edge of the platform. At the same time, his feet slipped and he almost fell out.
But just when he was about to fall, Xu Ning stretched out his right hand and grabbed the edge of the platform.
At this time, he could only barely maintain his balance with his right hand, and his left shoulder and right thigh were bleeding continuously.
Even Xu Ning felt something was wrong.
He ignored the pain in his left hand and wanted to stretch out his left hand to support the platform and climb up.
But the moment he stretched out his hand, his heart felt cold to the bottom.
Because, the black monster came in front of him again. Although he couldn't see his facial features clearly, he could feel that he was laughing at himself.
A foot stepped on his finger.
Severe pain came, and Xu Ning almost let go of his hand. If he let go, he would fall directly from a height of 30 meters.
Not to mention the dense swarm of carrion insects below, if you fall from this height, you will have a narrow escape.
Fortunately, his pain tolerance was strong enough. The moment he was stepped on, he gritted his teeth and tightened his fingers to prevent himself from falling.
The black monster didn't seem to have any intention of breaking his hand off directly, but instead played with its opponent like a cat catching a mouse.
He stepped on Xu Ning's hand and turned it left and right, and every time he turned, he would increase his strength.
Lin Ran saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
This was the first time he encountered such a complicated situation. The original team had three combatants, which was more than enough when facing ordinary tomb exploration.
But I didn't expect to encounter such a cruel scene for the first time today.
