King of the North: My Lord's Diary Weekly Summary

Wayne looked up sharply, and in the instant the firelight illuminated his vision, he saw more than a dozen dark figures swooping down from the darkness above!

They are incredibly fast, and the sound of their wings flapping is sharp and piercing, like several blades slicing through an iron plate!

"Enemy attack!"

Before Kellerb's roar had even finished, the first dark shadow had already pounced on him!

That thing—

Wayne finally saw what it looked like.

It was a creature he had never seen before.

It has bat wings and lizard body, is nearly half a meter long, and is covered with dark blue scales.

Its head is shaped like a lizard, but its mouth is full of fine, sharp teeth, and its eyes reflect an eerie red light in the firelight.

What's most terrifying is its claws—its forelimbs have evolved into bat-like wing claws, but with three sharp toes at the end, each like a dagger!

Faced with the unknown, Wayne first looked at his palm—the notebook gave no warning of death!

"fighting!"

Before the words were even finished, more bat-lizard monsters surged out of the darkness!

Wayne dodged one of its attacks by sidestepping it, and with a swift upward slash of his longsword, the blade grazed its belly—leaving only a shallow white mark!

The scales on that thing were harder than I expected!

But perhaps because of its flying nature, its body is relatively light.

The monster was deflected by the force of the sword, crashed into the stalagmite, let out a sharp screech, and then flapped its wings and swooped down again!

Kellerb's knife met another.

His fiery red breath had been activated, and the blade, carrying a scorching aura, slashed at the creature's neck—this time it worked, the scales were cut open, and black blood spurted out!

The splattered black blood caught Kellerb off guard—his leather armor was instantly corroded.

"This black blood is the same as the one in the forest!"

Kellerb cried out in surprise, but then a burst of fiery red energy erupted from his body, turning the black blood into black mist that dissipated.

The energy of Qi has a remarkable effect on this poison!

Snow Wind and Crimson Flame darted through the darkness, their speed rivaling that of the flying monsters.

Xuefeng bit into the wing of a bat lizard and ripped it apart. The creature screamed and fell to the ground, where Annie stabbed it through the head.

Crimson Flame grew even more ferocious. It pounced on a bat lizard, pressed its claws against its back, and bit off its spine.

But there are too many bat lizards.

They circled in the stone chamber, swooping down to attack from all angles.

They were moving too fast, and the firelight was too dim, so it was impossible to see which direction they were coming from.

Back to back!

Wayne yelled, "Don't let them scatter!"

The pack quickly assembled, the six wolves forming a circle back to back. The wolf companions crouched beside their master, ready to pounce at any moment.

Another dive.

This time, Wayne saw their attack pattern clearly—they would first circle high up, then suddenly fold their wings and shoot down like arrows!

Their claws are their main weapon; they grab something and run, never lingering in a fight!

"Sean!"

Wayne yelled, "Can you hit it?"

Sean did not answer.

But he had already nocked an arrow and drawn his bow.

As the bowstring twanged, a swooping bat-lizard was pierced through the eye by an arrow and fell with a scream.

"Eye!"

Sean shouted, "Aim for the eyes!"

The group immediately adjusted their tactics.

Another dive.

Wayne fixed his gaze on the foremost one, and the instant it lunged at him, he sidestepped, thrusting his sword straight at its left eye!

The thing screamed as it fell, and Ronald struck it in the head with a single sword strike.

Annie and Yukikaze worked together flawlessly—Yukikaze pretended to pounce and attract attention, while Annie stabbed the other eye from the side.

Kellerb's blade, glowing with a fiery red aura, cleaved open the head of the third bat lizard.

Wright's longsword pierced the fourth eye with pinpoint accuracy.

Ronald swept his greatsword across, smashing a bat lizard directly onto a stalagmite, turning it into a bloody pulp.

Sean's arrows came one after another, each one taking the life of a bat lizard.

three minutes.

five minutes.

The number of bat lizards is decreasing.

They finally realized that their prey was not to be trifled with, and with sharp hisses, they began to retreat to higher ground.

The last bat-lizard disappeared into the darkness. Silence returned to the stone chamber.

All that remained were heavy breathing and the crackling of torches.

Wayne flicked the black blood off his sword and scanned his surroundings.

More than twenty bat lizard corpses lay on the ground, black blood flowing everywhere, and a pungent stench filled the air.

"Is everything alright?"

he asks.

"Minor abrasions."

Ronald said.

Annie checked Xuefeng and shook her head: "She's fine."

Kellerb stretched his shoulder: "I got scratched by a claw, just a superficial wound."

Wayne nodded, walked to the carcass of a bat lizard, and squatted down to examine it.

Its scales are as hard as iron, its claws are as sharp as knives, and the position of its eyes is exceptionally suitable for hunting in the dark.

If we don't count the undead wolves, this should be the first extraordinary creature that Wayne has encountered.

But... was that black blood, which is the same as that of the undead, used by someone with ulterior motives as material for the undead, or... was it originally created?

He stood up and looked into the depths of the cave.

In any case, they now have the capability to explore the mystery.

"Keep going."

He said.

……

After walking about half a mile, the terrain of the cave began to change.

It was no longer a spacious stone chamber, but had become a narrow passageway.

The distance between the two stone walls is less than two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), but the top is extremely high, and the torch cannot reach the top.

The ground beneath my feet was covered with a layer of tiny bones, which crunched as I stepped on them.

This place is like... a tomb passage.

Wright's voice was strained: "A lot of things have died here."

Wayne didn't say anything.

He noticed that some strange marks were beginning to appear on the stone wall—some kind of artificially carved symbols.

The symbols were arranged neatly, resembling some kind of writing or some kind of ritual pattern.

Similar symbols were also found on the jar of herbs Greta gave to Renee.

"A shaman's mark?"

Anne clearly recognized them too: "But they're different from our wolf pack's."

She stopped and examined the symbols carefully.

"This symbol doesn't look quite like the symbols of our northern tribes..."

This script... is older than our ritual symbols.

Just then—

A rustling sound came from ahead.

The team immediately went on alert.

The sounds grew closer and more intense. It sounded like many things were crawling, leaping, and...

run.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Wayne shouted.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of monsters charged out from the front of the passage!

They resemble wolves in shape, but their hind limbs are unusually thick, while their forelimbs are so short that they are almost atrophied.

They leap forward using their hind legs at an astonishing speed, each leap covering three or four zhang (approximately 10-13 meters)!

Even more bizarre were their heads—they were rabbit heads!

Its long ears droop to the sides, its lips are divided into three parts, but its mouth is full of sharp fangs!

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Kellerb roared and charged forward. A flash of light appeared, and a monster's head was cleaved open, splattering black blood.

But even more have already pounced!

Their leaping attacks are extremely difficult to defend against—they will suddenly spring up from the ground and kick their target’s chest with their powerful hind legs!

That force was enough to crush bones!
