Chapter 217: Invisible Monster
My senses have always been dull, even I can detect it, they must have noticed something unusual, but I can't see anything, it's just a few of us here.
We stood still for several minutes, and all of a sudden, Brother Shen suddenly moved, his speed was amazing, and he rushed out behind me like an afterimage, and at some point he had a short sword in his hand, and slammed into the air above the left.
"Ah——!h
An extremely terrible scream sounded in mid-air, like a human voice had broken, the sound was very loud, I only felt a pain in my eardrums, and I couldn't hear anything clearly, I subconsciously shrank back, this scream really almost scared me to death, I had never heard such a sharp scream so closely.
"Bang!"
Something fell from mid-air, rolled a few times and hit the ground, I panicked, startled by the sound again, and almost fell backwards, but fortunately Nineteen reached out and helped me.
It all happened between the lightning and flint, and it took me more than ten seconds to react, and I was afraid for a while, I was suddenly confused, what happened just now?
The scream seemed to pierce my heart, and I still have a strange feeling left, and I looked at the ground in front of me, and I couldn't see anything, only stones.
"What's going on? What is it? ”
I panicked, raised my hand and rubbed my eyes, and I suddenly realized that the scream I heard shortly after we came in was from this thing.
But I couldn't see it, I saw Brother Shen crouch down, reach forward and grope forward, his hand stayed in mid-air, but it seemed to touch something, drawing a strange outline.
Nineteen also crouched down, and he also touched the thing, his eyes narrowed slightly, this scene seemed very grotesque to me, and I saw them carefully touching the air, and they showed thoughtful expressions.
"What is it?"
I asked uneasily and softly, but no one answered, I also crouched down, removed the outermost thick glove, leaving only a thin layer of rubber gloves, and reached out with trembling hands to the place where they touched, and I really touched a cold thing, the wet and cold touch was transmitted from my fingertips to the bottom of my heart, I was startled, and suddenly retracted my hand.
There really is something!
I felt unbelievable, swallowed my saliva and stretched out my hand again, there was something lying on the ground, not big, about the same as a newborn baby, but dry and thin, I could clearly feel the skeleton of its body, hard and strong, it was certain that it was not human, more like some kind of hairless animal.
Its limbs were curled up, its nails were long and sharp, and there were thin webbing between its fingers, and it was slimy, but its head was pointed like a mouse, and I felt its teeth, with a strange slime, at least three centimeters long, sharp as two nails.
I felt the wound on its body, it was pierced through the throat by Brother Shen's sword, and a strange pool of mucus flowed out, not like blood, I could smell the disgusting smell of its body, like stinky fish and rotten shrimp that had been fermented for many days.
I felt so sick that I withdrew my hand, took off the rubber gloves and put them on, God knows what it was, the most awkward thing for me was not being able to see it.
I dare to reach out and touch it, it can be regarded as progress, I can't help but look back at the corpse, he must have died under the mouth of this monster, just like the predecessor a thousand years ago, this thing must be more than one, if it was replaced by ordinary people, who would have thought that the danger was invisible, it must be ten deaths.
Even now, we are in danger, and I realize that this is the demon in the mouth of Brother God, we don't know how many of them there are, but if we want to get into the center of the floating island, we must pass through their territory.
I'm worried about Ah Chuan again, if you take precautions, it's okay, if you don't know, you will definitely be hit, Ah Chuan has always been cautious, I hope he can detect the abnormality, as long as he can kill one, it won't be a big problem later.
I feel a little optimistic, if these things are gathered together in hundreds or thousands, even gods can't hide from them, Achuan is dangerous, and so are we, no one knows where they will attack from.
"Do you have enough stuff? Hurry up and take what you lack. ”
Nineteen stood up and pointed at the backpack with his chin, I hesitated and didn't move, I always felt that it was not lucky to use dead people's things, Eleven didn't move, we just came in not long ago, and the equipment was quite sufficient.
Nineteen sighed softly and took out two bottles of water in full packs and stuffed them into his bag, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable, his clothes looked like our companions at first glance.
"Is he an enemy?" I couldn't help but ask.
Nineteen didn't speak, just nodded, I still wanted to ask but couldn't ask, why his equipment was so similar to ours, it was completely a template.
Brother Shen retreated the way he came, and I looked back at the corpse several times, until he disappeared from sight, and the smell of blood faded, and we walked through two more rock crevices, far away from him.
Brother Shen is still so cautious, Eleven and Nineteen are also ready to go, the fishy smell still lingers in my nose, I don't dare to relax, I am more cautious than when I go alone, I know how dangerous the current environment is, if there is really a large-scale attack, it will be difficult for them to protect themselves, and they will definitely have no time to take care of me.
I kept rubbing the armor, it noticed my nervousness, kept raising its head, what can be killed by a cold weapon must also be killed by armor, we can't see it, but armor can definitely see it.
I can't figure out how this invisibility works, even if it's a chameleon, it's just a mimicry, but it's really completely gone, not even a shadow, I don't know if the problem is in this monster itself, or if it's affected by the surrounding environment, think about it, the environment here is no different from the outside.
There are so many mysteries on this floating island that it is impossible to solve them completely, and I don't know why, but I always feel that it is a threat to the whole earth, and these strange and terrifying creatures are more suitable for extinction, including the floating island itself, which should sink to the bottom of the sea forever.
This place was more terrifying than I expected, I didn't know what was waiting for us ahead, the smell of fish was imminent, I could feel Brother Shen leading us around in circles, he was circling around the smell, as if he was looking for a breakthrough.
I don't know why, close to the weird side of the maze, the maze moves slowly, while the other side moves violently, we've experienced it once before, and I know it's the effect of that scream.
I still have a dull pain in the depths of my ears, and everything I listen to is like a layer of paper, and my heart palpitations are still there, I wonder if they are like this.
Ah Qing's instructions were completely useless, we could only follow Brother Shen, and walked through several rock crevices, but he chose a different direction, this rock crevice was very short, and I saw that there was a rather large cave in front of me, although it was wet, there was no water.
Brother Shen walked in gently, I followed him closely, as soon as I entered, I had a strange feeling, I was stared at something, there was a pair of invisible eyes fixed on me, I felt my back burn like fire, that thing was behind me.
I can't describe the sensation, my body felt like it was threatened, it became extremely sensitive, and then suddenly there was a slight gust of wind from the back of my neck, with a damp fishy smell, no, not only one, but also in front of me on the right!
A shot out like an arrow from the string, shooting at my back, Brother Shen pulled me violently next to me, only to see a blue light flash on the right, I heard something torn, he threw a sword flower in the air, and then there was the sound of a heavy object falling, before and after the difference was less than a second.
A returned to my wrist, with a cool mucus on my body, I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly a hand came out from behind me and grabbed me, with great force, directly pulled me to the ground, I heard a small sound above my head, accompanied by a cool air over me.
The goosebumps on the back of my neck stood up immediately, and then I heard a "ding" sound, and when I turned around, I saw the tip of Eleven's sword against the ground, and the moment the sword was retracted, there was a liquid splashing sound, and something was nailed to the ground by him.
I broke out in a cold sweat, it was nineteen who pulled me down, I was attracted by the gaze behind me, I didn't expect there to be so many here, the air was quiet and weird, my whole body was stiff and motionless, my sensitivity was still far worse than theirs, in this calm and empty cave, I don't know how many monsters lurked.
I didn't dare to ask, I didn't dare to make any sound, I didn't even suppress my breathing, but I couldn't control my heartbeat, and I couldn't hear anything in my ears except the sound of a rapid heartbeat.
There were no more fiery eyes, no more abnormal sounds, time seemed to stand still, Nineteen quickly reached out and pulled me up, Eleven and Brother Shen's bodies moved, and we became back-to-back standing, I couldn't feel anything, only a drop of cold sweat condensed on the tip of my nose.
A was still gathering momentum, and I really wanted to see what the hole in its eyes looked like, and there seemed to be no more monsters, and we stood there for two or three minutes without any more attacks.
But they still looked like they were waiting for the battle, and I didn't dare to relax, I couldn't help but tense my nerves when I thought of the corpse and the tragic situation of the ancestors of the Mo family, I knew that this monster was coming at the head.
There is still no sound, I stand on the soles of my feet and feel sore, Brother God, they are still motionless, just like three stone people, if there are really monsters, I really want to let A solve them together, I did this when I escaped in the escape room, but it doesn't work here, the speed of that monster is also very fast, if there is more than one, A attacks one will alarm the others, and then there will be chaos, and we will definitely be on the disadvantageous side.
I'm always subconsciously worried about Nineteen, and although he is not bad, he always looks a few points worse than Eleven, and most importantly, he doesn't have the final hole card.
