Chapter 685: Magical Beast? (2/2)
This was only the beginning. After Leng Liuying escaped this attack, more spikes shot down the cliffs on both sides of the valley, obviously wanting to turn the four into honeycombs.
Thanks to Leng Liuli’s quick reminder, the enemy above didn’t succeed as the group quickly retreated to the base of the cliff, and the sloping cliffs became their best barrier. However, they also blocked the view, so the four couldn’t tell who or what attacked them.
“Blackie!” Bai Xiaofei had no habit of sitting around waiting for death. Per his call, Blackie agilely jumped out from his shoulder.
Almost at the same time, spikes rained down from the cliff again, but the spikes were slower than Blackie, who shuttled back and forth without losing a strand of fur.
“What is it?!” Leng Liushuang asked. She is familiar with all of the magical beasts in the Holy Snow Mountain. As long as Bai Xiaofei gave a description, she could think of the way to deal with it right away.
However, Bai Xiaofei looked troubled.
“Hold on a minute. I can’t quite describe that thing.”
He then summoned Purple Luan and vanished. A while later, three figures fell off the cliff together with a rain of sharp thorns as well as a messy Bai Xiaofei.
The triplets had a clear view of the creatures that attacked them, but that was it. Even they couldn’t give a definite answer to what those things were.
The attackers were about 1.2 meters tall and looked very much like dwarves with two feet and two arms, but apart from these characteristics, they shared no other similarities with humans.
Their bloated bodies looked like inflated balloons and their entire backs were covered with spikes similar to those raining down. Their ferocious faces made people uncomfortable at just a glance. Generally speaking, they looked like a combination of human and hedgehog.
Falling from the cliff didn’t seem to do any damage to them. After bouncing up, the three sharp-edged monsters immediately pulled out two sharp spikes from their backs and fearlessly rushed towards Bai Xiaofei.
Bai Xiaofei frowned upon seeing this. It wasn’t that he found them terrifying, but he just couldn’t see their ranks! Or, he couldn’t figure out what they should be measured by.
