That was a hand.
However, it did not look like a human hand.
The Black Dog could tell at a glance, but to be on the safe side, or perhaps it wanted to make a comparison, it lowered its head and glanced at Lu Chen's palm.
One was a hand of flesh and blood, with rosy, lustrous skin, and full of vitality, while the other was not.
The palm that suddenly appeared on the edge of the cliff path was gray, cold, hard, and solid. It looked like a rock, but compared to a real rock, there seemed to be something strange about this hand.
Life!
The rock-like palm abruptly tightened its grip, just like how Lu Chen had done all he could to climb up from the bottom of the cliff. Then, even more gray appeared. Several sharp thorns grew out of the slender arm, and there were also black webbed membranes growing on the underside of his ribs. Soon, a strange and ear-piercing scream came from the bottom of the cliff.
It was like a bloodthirsty monster slowly revealing its fangs.
Atsu stared at the hand, and the hair on its neck slowly stood up. Then, it suddenly let out a low roar, as if it was facing a formidable enemy.
Lu Chen was startled. Then, as if he felt something, he suddenly turned around and saw the scene that Atsu saw just now.
Then, under their astonished gazes, the gray shadow in that place swayed, and a head that was smaller than what they had expected was raised from under the rock.
At first glance, it looked like an evil spirit.
It was a ferocious and ugly head, with sharp fangs protruding from its bloody mouth. Its bell-like eyes were exceptionally large, and the skin on its face was as hard as stone. Even the roar of this monster sounded like a pile of rocks squeezed together and rubbed against each other.
When this strange and terrifying monster appeared, it immediately stared at Lu Chen and Atsu, then opened its mouth and roared at them.
Following this fierce roar, a pair of black membranous wings suddenly spread out behind it. There were countless thorns on the wings, and there were several sharp claws on the edge of the wings. The sharp claws even reflected a white light.
Lu Chen's face darkened.
He didn't recognize this monster. He hadn't even heard of it before, let alone seen it. He suspected that this strange monster, which looked like a giant stone bat, only existed in the Great Snow Mountain. Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to be no records of it in the world for thousands of years.
But it was meaningless to think about these things now, because the monster had already soared into the air, flapped its huge membranous wings, and then pounced on him.
At that moment, the sky seemed to darken a little.
The monster opened its mouth and bared its fangs. It was so aggressive that it looked like it wanted to eat meat and drink blood. In any case, it didn't look like it wanted to make friends.
Lu Chen had no choice at all. He stood up abruptly and waved his hand. At the same time, a black dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. Black flames ignited and condensed into a half-foot-long flame that stabbed towards the monster that was pouncing towards him.
Almost immediately, Lu Chen used his greatest power. This was because he knew nothing about this kind of monster, and because he suddenly felt a trace of danger from the depths of his heart.
…
The monster that looked like a giant bat pounced over, and its sharp claws were in front of him in the blink of an eye. Lu Chen dodged to the side, but the black dagger in his hand didn't stop. It continued to pierce forward, and directly stabbed the only soft membrane of the monster.
This time, Lu Chen felt as if he had stabbed an incomparably hard rock.
He could even see sparks flying out from the friction between the sharp blade and the rock. His arm violently shook. The incomparably sharp blade, the killing weapon that had killed many people and pierced through many flesh, was forcibly blocked just like that.
But at the same time, the black flames in front of the black dagger seemed to be unaffected by the monster's hard skin, and directly penetrated it, burning into the membrane.
In a moment, under the incomparably hard skin, a terrifying blood bag bulged, and the strange blood inside seemed to boil and burn in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint. Then, with a "boom", it exploded.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the color of the blood was impressively black.
The monster's head suddenly rose, and it let out an incomparably mournful scream. Its wings desperately flapped, and then it seemed to flap its wings to fly up. However, the membrane that was pierced by Lu Chen's black dagger was obviously flapping very hard, and it seemed to be seriously injured.
Lu Chen leaned against the rock, clinging to the mountain wall, holding the dagger in his hand, and stared coldly at the monster in the air above the cliff not far away. Beside him, Atsu also pounced over, roaring loudly at the monster in the air, and also fiercely bared its fangs.
The ferocity in the monster's eyes didn't fade at all. Instead, it looked at the two living creatures below even more viciously, but there was still a touch of fear in its eyes.
So after a moment, it suddenly flapped its wings and flew back for a distance, then it let out a shrill and shrill cry towards the dark bottomless abyss below.
"Squeak …"
The shrill cry instantly spread, echoing in this narrow and long canyon, between the mountains, and also in the dark crevice.
Lu Chen's heart tightened, and his expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to move, he suddenly heard a burst of strange sounds from the depths of the dark crevice under his feet.
After a moment, the world seemed to suddenly turn dark, and the sound of something flapping in the air suddenly sounded. One after another, black shadows pounced out from the depths of the darkness.
One, two, three … a dozen, dozens, and even more similar monsters flapped their huge membranous wings and flew out from the depths of the ground, flocking here from all directions.
Lu Chen's heart sank, and Atsu's cry was also interrupted. However, in the roar, not long after, they were surrounded by a large black mass of monsters from top to bottom, from front to back.
And further away in their line of sight, there seemed to be more monsters rushing over.
That scene was like the end of the Underworld.
Every pair of eyes revealed greed and desire for flesh and blood, and every monster looked extremely bloodthirsty. No one knew which one was the first to lose its patience, but with a shrill cry, it swooped down from mid-air!
Lu Chen, who had cold sweat on his forehead, swung his sword. The monster seemed to know that the dagger was extremely dangerous. It screamed and flapped its wings to avoid it, but its sharp claws scratched the stone wall above Lu Chen's head, instantly tearing the mountain rocks, leaving a few slender cracks, and small stones fell one after another.
This action seemed to have suddenly opened the prelude to the siege. All the monsters screamed desperately, crowded in mid-air, and were about to pounce on Lu Chen.
At this critical moment, Lu Chen could no longer care about anything else. He clenched his teeth and directly jumped onto Atsu's back.
Then, on this narrow mountain path on this precipice, Lu Chen did not even look at Atsu.
He didn't even look at Ah-Tu, only growling in a low voice, "Charge!"
"Roar!"
Ah-Tu let out a furious roar and sprinted forward.
And all the monsters in mid-air seemed to be completely enraged at this moment. Countless strange screams were deafening, countless sharp claws and terrifying membranous wings swarmed over, biting and biting from every direction.
From afar, it looked like a terrifying black ball that kept squirming in the darkness, running rapidly on the precipice path.
