Volume 1: The Call of Cthulhu Chapter 14: The Great Serpent

"Shh

Wang Feng hurriedly motioned for Han Ning to calm down.

"What's wrong?" Li Yu naturally didn't understand a little, but when he saw his appearance, his expression changed greatly: "Could it be ......" Then he quickly covered his mouth and turned off the flashlight in his hand.

The three of them hurriedly hid behind a giant rock.

The originally noisy cave fell silent instantly. There was a sound like something rubbing against the underside.

Losing their light source, the trio gradually adapted to the darkness inside the cave.

"Is it the monster?" Han Ning made a lip gesture and pointed to the front of the rock.

Wang Feng shook his head, he didn't know if it was or not.

"I've heard this sound since the beginning, but at first I thought it was the wind, but if it was really the wind, how could it suddenly disrupt the rhythm."

Wang Feng only hoped that it was a false alarm.

"It's better to fight, we have guns anyway!" Han Ning opened his mouth and touched the gun in his hand, signaling that the three of them might as well gather fire to kill the monster.

"If it worked, why do you think the previous team left their guns in the camp?" Wang Feng tried his best not to let his voice come out of his throat. The reason why the previous people did that must have been because these guns didn't have any effect on monsters, and maybe they were still a burden.

Li Yu nodded, feeling that what Wang Feng said was very reasonable.

"So what should we do?" Han Ning is panicking now, aren't the three of them just waiting there to die like this?

Wang Feng lay there with his ears pressed against the rock, trying to tell how close the monster was to them.

Everyone held their breath.

But at this moment, Wang Feng didn't hear any sound.

The voice seemed to disappear out of thin air.

"Is it really that I'm thinking too much?"

If so, it is nothing more than the best outcome.

He looked up, and an unknown drop of liquid landed on his head.

"That monster is right in front of you."

Wang Feng's whole body stiffened there.

"Run!"

Although my brain is very clear about what to do, my body is not in control.

Raising its head stiffly, the silhouette of the monster was revealed, more than two meters tall, a creature similar to a giant python, except that its upper body was in human form, but not all.

The monster looked down for a moment, then slowly walked away.

After the sound was far away, Wang Feng and the three of them collapsed on the ground panting.

"The monster is gone!" Han Ning's voice trembled a little and asked Li Yu and Wang Feng.

"Gone, though I don't know what's going on? But he finally got his life back. Li Yu's face was pale, and her entire back was already soaked with sweat.

Before Wang Feng could recover from it, the object just now seemed to be engraved in his head and could not be removed. Although they all describe the general outline, they cannot be described in words.

"I don't quite understand why the monster didn't kill us." Han Ning didn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head.

"I don't know......" Li Yu didn't understand, he was already scared stupid at that time.

Turn on the flashlight and the light breaks the darkness.

"Do the stone statues we saw before have anything in common?" Wang Feng closed his eyes, his heartbeat was not ordinarily fast.

"Realistic...... The expression is fear! ”

Wang Feng shook his head at Han Ning: "It's not ...... To put it bluntly, I've only just reacted. ”

"I see, the statues before were running away." Li Yu suddenly realized.

"Escape?" Han Ning was a little puzzled, what did this have to do with their survival?

Seeing this, Li Yu hurriedly explained: "The statues we saw before were actually petrified, and their expressions were the same, and their movements were the same, they were all running away. ”

"That's right, just the three of us were completely stunned. Presumably the monster will only chase moving objects...... It's like the game we played before, 123 Wooden Man. ”

Hearing Wang Feng's explanation, Han Ning finally understood.

"Anyway? It's good to be alive! ”

Li Yu sighed: "When people are in danger, they will have two reactions, the first reaction is to run away, and the second reaction is to stiffen the body. ”

"But to be honest, I've never seen a cow that big......"

"Cow? Han Ning, are you mistaken? It's obviously an octopus......" Li Yu glanced at Han Ning angrily.

Han Ning was a little unconvinced: "Although I can only see the outline, what I see is obviously a cow!" He clenched his fists with both hands and felt that Li Yu had seen it wrong, and then turned his head to look at Wang Feng: "Wang Feng, what did you say was that monster?" ”

Wang Feng was taken aback: "Isn't it a monster with a human upper body and a snake on the lower body?" ”

The three of them all looked at each other in surprise, obviously they were the same monster, but the general outline they saw was different.

"Wait a minute, you said you saw a monster with a snake on the bottom half and a human on the top half? You say you're seeing an octopus? Han Ning felt a little funny: "Could it be that this monster will change into a different form in everyone's eyes?" ”

Although it was a joking sentence, it made Wang Feng suddenly realize.

"That's what it looks like, and I finally understand."

Li Yu hurried over: "You understand something, hurry up and tell us." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Li Yu, are you very afraid of octopuses? And is Han Ning afraid of cows? Wang Feng looked at the two and smiled.

"How do you know?" The two spoke in unison.

"I was pushed by a bull when I was a kid, and I was in bed for more than a year, so I'm scared of that thing now." Han Ning pointed to his waist.

"I almost died in the water because of the octopus when I was diving, so I'm still very scared of the octopus." Li Yu's eyes widened: "Could it be that that guy will become something we are afraid of......"

Wang Feng nodded: "That's right, everyone's fear is different, and it is precisely because of this that this monster will have a different appearance." That's why the three of us see things differently. ”

"That's what it looks like!" Han Ning patted his thigh and then became a little curious: "Wang Feng, the lower body you are afraid of is a snake, and the upper body is a human, what is it?" ”

Wang Feng hurriedly changed the topic and didn't want to discuss his own affairs: "Let's go, otherwise the monster will ......" He raised his head easily, and a big shriveled face was attached to his head.

The eyes were bloodshot, and the corners of the mouth were slightly raised as if he was smiling. Behind it was something like a rope hanging there.

"This beast ...... Didn't go? Could it be that he was acting just now......"
