The skeleton had a long tailbone, so it was definitely not a human being when it was alive. It was even more impossible for it to have small fangs. With just a gentle sweep of its tail, it could probably sweep away a dozen small fangs.
It silently arrived above Marina's head and stuck close to the wall. Its skeletal body slid on the wall without making the slightest sound.
Marina didn't know when this thing had appeared. It looked so huge that even a few people wouldn't be able to hug it, let alone catch it.
There was no flesh on its body, and its upper body was nothing special. The tailbone of its lower body had countless slender and sharp bones attached to the longest and thickest main bone, which looked like a spine.
Lulunaka was wrapped up by it and fell into the air. It made a hissing sound, which scratched their heads like claws.
"What is this thing!"
Iqbal held his shield in front of him and stared at the wagging tail above his head. He was so nervous that his voice trembled a little.
He had never seen anything like the small fangs, and this thing was an undead.
It seemed like it was reacting to Iqbal's voice — or his fear — and opened its mouth at Iqbal, making a louder hissing sound.
The sound attack was already very uncomfortable for them.
"It's not strange to have an accident in the sewers … But I've never heard of this kind of accident!"
What happened now seemed to be beyond Hatchet's expectations. He probably did not plan to let Marina and Iqbal see this thing, and he would never take such a risk.
"Save her!"
Marina shouted and opened the magic book in her hand. Her fingers quickly skimmed over the pages. "Attack!" She spread her fingers and aimed her palm at the strange skeleton.
Her palm was aimed at the place where the tailbone and the upper body of the skeleton were connected. The bones at that place were hit by an invisible force, and the pieces of bone that were stuck on them were knocked askew and then returned to their original shape.
Marina's attack had no effect. This was the worst case scenario for her.
This was not a small spell, but a key spell that she had prepared in advance. It could easily send a dozen people flying at the same time.
However, when it was used on the skull, it could only move its bones slightly.
Marina's spell didn't hurt it at all. At least from its reaction, it was useless. It only focused on Marina.
Or rather, from the very beginning, it had been watching Marina. The first one to attack was also Marina, but she was pushed away by Lulunaka and saved.
As for Lulunaka, who had saved Marina, she was now wrapped in the white bone tail, and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive.
The people standing on the ground couldn't even see what was happening to Lulunaka.
Short Axe roared and threw the axe in his right hand at the skeleton's tail.
His axe hit one of the segments of the tailbone, and then it bounced into the reservoir and fell into the water, creating a splash.
"It's useless." Short Axe retracted his hand. He had no intention of throwing out the other axe.
"The water level is still rising!" Chris's usually cold voice was now tinged with anxiety.
The water below was rising at a rate visible to the naked eye. It had already reached an abnormal level.
"We should escape!"
What Chris said was not to leave, but to escape. This was his current thought and attitude.
"She's still up there!" Marina shouted and continued to cast spells on the strange skeleton that was crawling on the wall.
Whether it was freezing, impact, or even burning, which was not suitable for this kind of place.
These spells were completely useless on its body. They only made a few pieces of ice on its bones. They couldn't even burn it.
Ike stepped forward and grabbed Marina's hand, "Marina, if we don't leave now, the water will flood this place!"
"But she …" Marina naturally didn't want to leave, "She saved me!"
Ike's face flashed with an unbearable expression, but he didn't let go, "If we don't leave now, you will also be left here!"
At this time, the skeleton's tailbone swept over. Ike quickly held his shield with both hands and blocked in front of Marina.
Just a small piece of tailbone swept over Ike's shield and sent him flying to the side.
Ike's hands tightly grasped the shield. His whole body flew in the air. After landing, he rolled several times and almost fell into the reservoir. Fortunately, he was caught by the short axe.
The surface of his shield was smashed, and the iron in the middle was dented, turning into a useless piece of scrap iron.
The shield fell from Ike's hands. His hands were trembling so much that he couldn't even pull out the long sword at his waist.
"Marina!" Ike yelled at Marina, "Run!
There's no other way! "
Ike's words hit Marina's heart, making her heart beat violently.
The strange skeleton that was entrenched on the wall retracted its tail. Lulunaka was still hanging on it. Its gem-like eyes were staring at Marina, as if it was staring at its prey.
Marina finally reacted. The terrifying undead in front of her was like a living snake.
It was an undead, a skeleton, a snake bone … But those lifeless gem-like eyes looked like a pair of snake eyes, staring at her, the prey.
She was a rabbit. A rabbit wanting to resist a snake was simply a fantasy.
Marina's heart beat faster, as if it was going to jump out of her chest.
She was frozen in place. Sounds seemed to be moving away from her. Her senses were gradually blurring. Everything was moving away from her.
In the eyes of Short Axe and the others, Marina looked like she was scared silly. She was like a little girl who was at a loss. She didn't even have the consciousness to run away.
The snake bone made a sharp sound and swept its tail towards Marina.
The tailbone that was as thick as her body appeared in her line of sight. She subconsciously used her magic book to block in front of her and used a life-saving spell.
"Protect!"
Her tailbone hit her magic book, and just like Iqbal, she was sent flying.
She didn't know if she was lucky or unlucky, but she was sent flying against the wall. Although she didn't fall into the reservoir, the force of the impact was much stronger than Ike's.
After the snake bone swept Marina away, its tailbone bounced to the side, causing it to lose its balance and fall into the tunnel.
At this time, the tunnel was already submerged in water. Short Axe and the others' calves fell into the water. If they didn't leave now, they would be hunted in the water. That would be a worse situation than now.
Ike's hands were still trembling. He couldn't even hold a weapon, let alone fight. Marina slid down the wall and lost consciousness.
Even if the two of them were still able to fight, Short Axe didn't think that they could deal with the strange snake bone.
With just a light flick of his tail, he was able to make two people, who were not weak, lose their ability to fight. No matter how much he looked down on newcomers like Ike and Marina, Short Axe had to admit that they were not inferior to him and Chris in terms of ability. They just lacked some experience, that was all.
Short Axe wasn't an indecisive person, especially in this kind of life and death situation.
The snake bone was crawling not far from the tunnel, wagging its astonishingly long tail. It didn't seem to have any intention of letting the living people in front of it go.
The water level had risen to where they were, and their feet were already submerged in the water.
"Take that kid with us. Let's go!"
Short Axe shouted to Chris. Kessley carried Iqlo and ran towards the entrance. Iqlo looked like he was being carried on his back by the short man.
Short Axe picked up Marina and followed behind Chris.
When they reached the entrance, Short Axe looked back. The dangerous undead didn't chase after them. Its tail was above the water, and he couldn't see its upper body.
Short Axe didn't have time to think about why it didn't chase after them. He also didn't want to stay in the same place and wait for it to come.
If they wanted to survive, they had to run.
As for Lulunaka, he felt sorry for her. But this was the sewer, this was the underground world. There were no ifs. She was already dead.
