Chapter 548 Earth Crack
"Don't be impulsive!" Clark quickly stopped the emotional poet, "Casio, calm down!"
"Calm down! Didn't you hear what that bastard statue said just now? He not only insulted my personality, but also trampled on my dreams! Who can bear this? Who can bear it?! I have to smash it It can't!"
There were tears in the poet's eyes, and he was so angry that he was about to cry.
"Listen to me, Casio, the words spoken by that statue are indeed vicious, but it can only move its mouth, and it will not cause any substantial harm to us. Besides, it was planted by you yourself after all. Almost exactly like you!"
Clark warned the poet solemnly.
"In my hometown, the Jotunheim Glacier, people think it is a very unlucky act to destroy their own portraits or statues, and they may be cursed because of this. end!"
"Curse...curse?!"
Casio broke into a cold sweat from the frost giant's words. Although he did not fully believe the northern folklore that Clark told, in fact, it was probably just a product of the ignorance and superstition of the local savages.
However, it was a matter of his own safety, and he would rather believe it than believe it. In the end, he could only suppress his anger and ignore the chattering statue.
Seeing that the poet had calmed down, Clark picked up the leather bag and asked his companions: "There are still two magic beans left, does anyone want to plant them?"
"Anyone can grow it, as long as that unlucky Casio is not allowed to grow it, otherwise he will definitely grow a monster that eats people!" The statue rushed to say.
"Shut your stinky mouth!"
Casio's anger, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, rushed up again, angrily grabbed the pocket, grabbed a magic bean from it, and buried it under his feet—as if to prove that the statue's vicious attack on him was purely slanderous.
Joan glanced at the statue with a sly smile on his face, and frowned slightly.
He didn't believe that the statue could predict or predict bad luck. From the perspective of probability, the results of the past four beans were not important.
Among the remaining two beans, at least one of them can grow a door leading to the treasure land, regardless of who will plant it, the probability is the same.
The statue ridiculed Casio as a "unlucky ghost", perhaps just to show off his quick tongue and deliberately annoy him for fun.
However, what happened next almost shook Joan's belief, making him suspect that there really was such a thing as "bad luck" in the world.
Just a minute after Casio buried the magic beans, the ground suddenly trembled violently, as if the calm sea broke up waves without warning, knocking Joan, Clark, Shrek, and Casio all to the ground when they were caught off guard.
Before they could get up, a huge mound of soil bulged up at the place where the magic beans were buried, like an ever-expanding mound. In a blink of an eye, a gap opened at the top of the mound, and a strange black object emerged from it.
This thing is perpendicular to the ground, looks like a raised triangular sail, and also looks like a huge shark fin. It is flat and long, with sharp serrations on the edges, and black and fine scales on both sides, refracting in the sunlight. With a strange light.
"What the hell is this...?"
The poet Casio sat down in front of the high mound, staring at the gradually rising fin-shaped object on the top of the mound, his eyes full of surprise.
Joan got up without a word, trying to go around the side of the mound and observe the structure of the black object up close.
As soon as he took a step, another shock wave came from the depths of the stratum. This time the impact force was stronger than before, as if the entire ground was about to be overturned, and a large amount of sand rose up into the sky, like a pitch-black fountain.
Joan staggered two steps forward, hugged the big tree beside him, and managed to gain a firm foothold in the violent turbulence.
The ground shook violently, making him feel dizzy and nauseous, and the flying sand blocked his vision.
Joan hugged the tree trunk with his right hand, and touched his right eye lightly with his left hand. He recited the mantra to open the "fog vision" enchanted by the prosthetic eye, and his sight penetrated the turbid air filled with mud and sand, looking at the central area of the earthquake—— That is, the place where Casio just planted the magic beans.
Qiao An narrowed his eyes slightly so as not to be blinded by the sand. He was surprised to find that the towering mound on the opposite side had collapsed in the earthquake just now, and a deep ravine was opened on the ground, and a huge and ferocious monster was crawling from the abyss. come out.
This monster is at least twenty feet long from head to tail, and its body is perfectly streamlined. It looks like a huge lizard, but what covers its body is not the fine scales of a lizard, but large pieces that are tightly knit together. Each carapace is black in color like pig iron, smooth in texture, thick and hard.
If you use man-made armor as an analogy, the scales of an ordinary lizard are like a suit of scales, but the carapace of this giant beast is comparable to a plate armor forged by a craftsman!
Seeing this monster for the first time, Joan subconsciously thought it was a ground-dwelling dragon.
However, after careful observation, especially when he noticed that the black sail-like object first protruding from the ground was actually the dorsal fin growing along the spine of the monster, and the huge head of the monster didn't look like a lizard or a dragon at all.
The triangular head, curved chin, and those narrow, dark eyes make it look more like a giant shark!
The head is covered with a thick and hard streamlined carapace, and the wide mouth is slightly opened, exposing two rows of bright and sharp teeth. The pink mouth is faintly visible, making this monster look more ferocious and terrifying.
"Be careful! It's probably a shark lizard!" Joan hurriedly reminded his companions.
The "Magical Beast Subvolume" of "Vares Monster Illustrated Book" has a special entry for "Shark Lizard Beast". According to the records in the book, this terrifying monster is said to be a mad mage who crossed a snapping turtle with an armadillo and injected it into a demon. The experimental product of pus is also vividly called "land shark", which means "shark on land".
In fact, this kind of monster is far more ferocious and violent than sharks, greedy and aggressive, and lives only to fill its stomach. It is not afraid of any creature, and does not care about the number or strength of the enemy and the enemy. Living creatures will attack without hesitation.
Before Joan uttered the name of the "Shark Lizard Beast", Clark and Shrek had never heard of this monster, and did not understand its habits and characteristics. They were all shocked when they saw this monster crawling out of the depths of the black ravine. measures.
After all, Casio is a poet who relies on his words for food. He has far more knowledge and knowledge than Clark and Shrek. He knows how terrifying the shark lizard is. Escape from the sight of the shark lizard as soon as possible.
