Chapter 495: Gargoyles
Cheryl could not feel more embarrassed.
They had an agreent, but in the end, Yura caused trouble and Cheryl beca the bad guy.
Chen Zhao might look calm now, but she knew he might punish her later.
“Can you return to your room?” Chen Zhao said, holding Yura in his arms.
“No.”
“Do you want to see the little elves?”
“Yes.”
“Then can you return to your room?”
“Alright.”
The girl was really easy to deceive.
Chen Zhao sent Yura back to her room and locked the door.
If they still wanted to co out, they had to leave through the windows.
But there were many vines outside the windows. None of them wanted to be hung for the night.
Chen Zhao walked to the forecourt. The underling cannon fodder team ca to report the situation.
The rcenaries’ route of retreat had been cut off. They were heading for the mansion.
Although there were many underlings, they were really weak in combat. With Eugenice’s help, they barely managed to stop the rcenaries from escaping.
If the rcenaries had enough bullets to keep raking, all the underlings might be killed.
Of course, they would not go on a mission carrying kilograms of bullets.
In addition, they did not know the type and number of enemies they would face.
They were really shocked by the unexpected situation.
Now, there were about thirty of them left.
“That’s too many. Reduce their number more,” Chen Zhao said.
“Eugenice is strong, but not efficient enough,” Blackie said.
Blackie could not do anything in the battle. He must not participate.
He could not even control the gargoyles. If he controlled a gargoyle to kill a person, it would be equivalent to him killing the person.
Nevertheless, he could fly across the battlefield unhindered and bring Chen Zhao valuable information.
“Forget it. It’s my turn,” Chen Zhao said.
...
At the mont, all the rcenaries were in great fear. It was only a small forest.
They had fought in a tropical rainforest before, which was many tis more dangerous than this place.
However, this place was peculiar, to say the least. Until now, they had no idea what had attacked them.
“Haus, I think sothing more dangerous is awaiting us in front.”
“I know... But there’s no way back.” Haus’s voice was filled with pessimism.
It was the most dangerous mission in his career.
No, to be precise, it was the most bizarre one.
If ti could be reversed, he would not have accepted the mission.
Although many rcenary missions were dangerous, none of them would kill more than ten people.
Normally, as long as everything was planned carefully, a mission could be completed without any fatalities.
Even in those super difficult and super risky missions, at most one or two people would die.
If every mission would kill dozens of people, all the rcenaries would quit.
But this ti, their target brought them horror and despair.
Puff... Puff...
Suddenly, everyone stopped.
“What’s that?” Haus scanned around him but discovered nothing.
“It’s from the sky!” Toby lifted his head. However, under the night sky, he could not see anything.
Suddenly, a shadow fell from the sky.
It was a strange winged creature, slightly bigger than a human adult.
The creature grabbed soone and was about to escape.
However, as it was flying, the other rcenaries fired.
Bam, bam—
Countless bullet holes appeared on the creature. It made a weird howl before dropping from the sky.
But as it descended, it turned into a hole-filled stone statue.
The rcenary who had been grabbed by it also disintegrated.
Of course, he had already been killed by his teammates before that.
“What’s this? Stone statue?” Haus investigated in confusion.
Ding—
A bullet fell out from the stone statue and the hole also disappeared.
“Co back, it’s recovering!” Toby stopped Huas. anwhile, he drew his gun and fired at the statue.
Clang, clang.
The bullets hit the statue and produced so sparks, but it was clearly undamaged.
“No, can’t destroy it.” Haus shook his head. “It can only be hurt when it moves and turns into a living being.”
“Luckily, there’s just one. If there’s more, we’ll...”
Before Toby finished, more than a dozen gargoyles dropped from the sky.
The strange roars of gargoyles, the sound of gunfire, and screams of desperation filled the battlefield.
Haus and Toby were hopeless. Why?
Why is this happening?
Where did these monsters co from?
They felt like they were not intruding a villa, but rather exploring a cursed domain full of aliens and monsters.
The gargoyles which were shot landed on the ground, while the others grabbed the rcenaries and threw them down from the sky.
Alternatively, two gargoyles might dismber a rcenary in the air and toss his limbs down.
Bam, bam, bam—
Thud, thud, thud—
The rcenaries were overwheld with fright. Only gunshots could temporarily reduce their despair.
Finally, the gunshots stopped. Only about a dozen people were still alive.
They were completely out of bullets. However, the gargoyles also stopped attacking.
They returned to the ground and turned back into stone statues.
But nobody felt happy. They were only shadowed by greater terror.
They could roughly tell that they were about to face true desperation.
The place was enveloped in a deadly aura. Suddenly, they caught a glimpse of sothing.
The Grim Reaper! That’s right: The Grim Reaper was reaping souls.
Even though it disappeared imdiately, the remaining rcenaries shivered uncontrollably.
Just then, they heard heavy footsteps in a direction.
They saw two enormous stone statues, like the ones that had assaulted them earlier. But these two were larger and stronger.
They could probably only be destroyed by cannons.
The two gargoyles were partly flesh and partly tal, and they each had only one eye.
Burly and formidable, they looked like cyclops in legends.
However, the cyclops did not attack them directly. They stood still instead.
Suddenly, they heard footsteps again.
The Asian finally appeared before them.
“Hello... my dearest guests, welco!” With his arms wide open, Chen Zhao was filled with enthusiasm and hospitality.
“Those things behind you, don’t even think about running, or else...”
Suddenly, an even more horrid creature erged behind them!
