Chapter 171: An apple a day keeps doctor away

"What the hell—"

In the process of running rapidly, the silver light of the [Ability Polish] shook into a constantly shaking ball, which made people unable to see their surroundings clearly - but even with just that glance just now, Lin Sanjiu knew that what he should do now was to run quickly.

When the dark shadow first enveloped her, her sense of crisis did not rise at all.

Because the shadow was so great that it was beyond the scope of the polish that could illuminate it, and melted into the darkness so far that one did not realize for a moment that it was actually a creature.

It wasn't until Lin Sanjiu subconsciously turned around and looked at the thing behind him that he was stupid.

How many times in a person's life can I see a ...... that is four or five stories high Mantis?

Lin Sanjiu raised the light in his hand a little higher, and happened to illuminate its two gray eyes that were as white as balls of dead mud - obviously because they lived in the darkness, and the eyes had degenerated - the mantis seemed to sense something, and as soon as the light came up, a long curved black shadow broke through the air violently.

Fools know what it is—given the size of this praying mantis, if it were hit by its two scythes, it would be a sham.

Lin Sanjiu didn't even dare to look at it, turned around and ran. In the darkness, she didn't know if there was any other danger lurking in the darkness around her, so she had to hold her breath and flee to the place where the huge apple was in front of her—at least she had been looking at it for a long time, and she hadn't found anything unusual about the apple, it was safer than other places!

There was a heavy "rumbling" sound behind her, and it sounded like a building was coming out of the ground and chasing her. The mantis obviously even had its eyes degraded, but the attack of the scythe was more accurate than the one - the front paws larger than Lin Sanjiu's whole body narrowly grazed her body several times, and the wind knocked her to the ground, so she hurriedly rolled around, turned over and continued to run.

As for the battle, Lin Sanjiu didn't even think about it.

Not to mention that the light is so dark that she can't take advantage of it at all, even if it is just to tear down a building of the same size that won't fight back, it's enough for her to work hard!

The apple was farther than she imagined - this part of the road, with Lin Sanjiu's speed, it took more than ten minutes. After barely dodging a few more shrieks of wind in the back of her head, she finally approached the apple in the silver light that shook violently like water waves.

Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt that he had been taken aback too early.

If she hadn't seen a rough idea from a distance just now, she wouldn't even have recognized what it was by now—looking up at the bottom of the apple, there was only a hazy, large black shadow, drawing a faint curve in the dimness.

How big does this have to be......?

While exclaiming in his heart, Lin Sanjiu's feet never stopped. She exerted her maximum speed, and almost instantaneously, she had already pounced at the feet of the apple.

…… Huh?

There was a pause in her footsteps, and then she realized something unusual.

The rumbling sound was gone, and the wind that would screech every now and then was gone—she turned around and saw that the huge blurry black shadow not far away had stopped in place, and the shadow representing the head of the praying mantis had turned left and right, but had not caught up.

Because it was inconvenient to carry the [Ability Polish] when running, Lin Sanjiu held it tightly in his hand, and the silver light at this time leaked out from between her fingers, and it was covered by the darkness, so that she couldn't see it clearly.

Not far away, the shadow of the praying mantis moved, as if hesitating for something, and then slowly began to retreat - and in a few moments, it completely dissolved into the endless darkness.

Lin Sanjiu had goosebumps all over his body.

She was a little afraid to look back.

Isn't it just Apple in the back?

…… What was it that made that praying mantis feel dangerous?

Every cold hair that stood up from Lin Sanjiu's neck was like an antenna, listening to the movement in the air in horror.

I listened intently, and there was silence behind me.

Lin Sanjiu was afraid of alarming something, so he turned around very slowly. Facing the vague darkness, she slowly and silently raised her hand and opened her fingers—the silver light was suddenly free, and instantly stained a small piece in front of her.

…… At first glance, she only thought that the skin of the apple was a little strange.

It's neither red nor green, and the skin looks very thick, revealing a fleshy pink that somehow makes people feel a little disgusting. It was probably not short when it fell from the tree, and at Lin Sanjiu's feet, she could still see patches of black that had become unfresh, like large patches of mildew.

Although this apple looks spooky, it doesn't seem to be dangerous...... Huh?

Before he could finish a sentence in his heart, the apple suddenly swayed from side to side, Lin Sanjiu thought that something was going to happen to it, and he was about to jump out with a kick, but saw that it did not come towards him, but rose straight into the air, and left the ground like a fly.

"This ......" Lin Sanjiu steadied himself and spit out a word.

How could an apple suddenly fly?

When she was still puzzled in her heart, suddenly the dazzling light that lit up out of nowhere suddenly reflected the surroundings as if it was snowy day, and the [Ability Polish] was like a dim pearl compared to it, not worth mentioning - the light came too suddenly, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but close his eyes, and after half a second, he finally forced himself to open his eyes again, and looked around with half-squinted eyes.

In mid-air, a face stared straight at her.

Lin Sanjiu's whole body was cold all of a sudden.

The apple that suddenly flew up turned out to be not flying, but was picked up by this "person" and held in his hand.

And why the praying mantis suddenly retreated, the reason is also clear: it is not that there is anything wrong with the apple, but that it does not know what means to pass guò and finds this giant "man" standing behind the apple, so it panicked so much that it doesn't even want the prey in front of it, turns around and runs.

…… said that it was a human being, but it was only because Lin Sanjiu couldn't think of any words to describe it for a while.

It was a flat face, and the hard-skin cracked under the face, and it was only when one realized that it was the mouth. Its mouth was long, with the edges deep open to the ears - if it had ears.

Whether it was the lines on the skin, or the eyes that were emotionless and exclusive to cold-blooded creatures, they all made Lin Sanjiu think of snakes in a trance.

However, under this snake face, there is a five-toed hand that is grasping an apple. Where she was at eye level with Lin Sanjiu, she couldn't tell what kind of body part it was: because it was so big, she couldn't see her head before and after, only a piece of skin covered with brown-black patterns, with a hard texture appearing, and every naturally formed small round spot on the skin was as big as her head.

It was obviously in a state of bending over, because as soon as Lin Sanjiu's gaze swept away, it couldn't even make the last sound: behind this snake-faced man, there were many similar faces floating on the distant heights. As for their bodies, they were so far away that they could only dimly see a silhouette in the mist-like air.

She only felt that the soles of her feet were cold, and she didn't dare to move, and she didn't know what these weirdos were going to do with her next--on the difference in size, Lin Sanjiu felt that his resistance would probably not yield any results.

However, after a long time, the snake-faced man straightened up and turned his gaze. Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, and the huge skin in front of him suddenly began to move, crawling in front of him with section by section pattern, and there was a slight tremor under his feet - it seemed that it was turning around and leaving.

Before he had time to think about why, Lin Sanjiu hurriedly turned his head like that praying mantis and ran, until he ran to an almost safe distance, plunged into a few plants, and his heart seemed to be beating again.

Now that there was light, she could see clearly: these plants, which were half a head taller than her, were just ordinary grasses.

It's not so much surprise as it's expected.

Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly, thought about it, and almost understood. For this snake-faced man, Lin Sanjiu was at most the size of an ant, although the snake-faced man's eyes were facing this direction, but if he hadn't bent down to look carefully, who would have found an ant hiding in the grass?

She felt her mind turn into a mess of surprise - she steadied her breath and quietly poked her head out.

…… She had to keep her neck up to the limit so that she could barely look beyond the grass on the ground and see the situation in the distance in mid-air.

As Lin Sanjiu guessed, there is no sky here.

Hanging high above her head was a jagged rock formation; Under the reflection of the ball of light in the hands of a snake-faced man, the light and dark of the rocks alternated, and the shadows of the lines became clearer and clearer.

A few kilometers down from the rock dome were a few tall apple trees—of course, from Lin Sanjiu's point of view, she could only see a part; When she saw the snake-faced man raise the apple in his hand and point to a few trees as if to say something to his companion, she guessed that the apple probably fell from the tree.

Not only the apple, but even she fell from the nearest apple tree.

Looking at the long knife marks carved on the trunk of the tree that was as high as a cliff, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but have this thought.

In the light of daylight in the snow, the praying mantis just now has long since disappeared; Looking around, there was nothing else. Lin Sanjiu glanced at the snake-faced people in the distance who didn't know what they were talking to each other, and suddenly got out of the grass and quickly ran towards the apple tree.

In the extreme temperature hell, she climbed over several thousand meters of cliffs; At this time, it was not difficult to climb this tree trunk, which was not much worse than the cliff - in addition to always paying attention to the surroundings to avoid being attacked by some huge creatures, Lin Sanjiu's process of climbing onto a tree branch was unexpectedly smooth.

At the end of this branch, there are two or three identical flesh-pink apples; Without the stale gray-black, they look a little more disgusting.

…… Are the roots of the trees absorbing so many creatures on the other side of the planet just to produce these strange fruits?

Lin Sanjiu stared at the fleshy apples, full of doubts.

Judging by the time the rabbits were sucked into the rhizome, they were probably still somewhere in the trunk at the moment...... But how to find it?

Just when she was distracted, a hand with long five toes suddenly reached out of nowhere, pulled down an apple, and suddenly caused the branch to shake violently - if it weren't for Lin Sanjiu's fact that it was too small at the moment, the branch was like the Golden Gate Bridge to her, and she had to shake it down.

The flat snake face emerged from the other end of the tree, and it was unknown when it came to the neighborhood.

Lin Sanjiu shrank his head in fright, and saw that it was not looking in his direction, so he had the courage to take a look-although this guy gave birth to a pair of arms, his body still looked like a snake, but the upper half of the snake's body was abnormally developed, which reminded people of human chest muscles and abdominal muscles.

The snake-faced man was not aware of a small thing observing him—it only had the apple in its hand in its eyes at the moment, and it seemed to be satisfied. Then it opened its mouth, and its face was split in two, and a whole apple disappeared into its throat.

When it closed its mouth, a piercing scream faintly passed through the skin into Lin Sanjiu's ears. R1152
