Chapter 201: Vine Monster
It happened too suddenly. So much so that Shen Dali and I didn't have time to react. I could only watch as Leng Yue was crushed below by the huge toad that suddenly fell.
The huge toad sat not far away. Staring at me and Shen Dali with a pair of giant eyes. I could see that we were both covered in hair.
Half a day. Shen Dali exclaimed. Picked up a guy and rushed towards the huge toad.
I reacted at this time. Hurriedly pulled out a dagger and rushed forward.
Leng Yue's physical fitness is very strong. I don't believe he's going to be crushed to death like that.
Anyway. Shen Dali and I worked hard. and deliver him quickly.
But. We hadn't waited to take a few steps. But I saw that the huge toad suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a thick mist.
I was shocked. Hurriedly grabbed Shen Dali and retreated.
After all, I don't know if the fog is poisonous or not. We can't afford to take risks.
Because the air in this place is slow. The mist that was spit out by the toad lingered for a long time. It only slowly expands in size in front of the toad.
Just when Shen Dali and I had nothing to do. The toad suddenly opened its mouth and chirped in pain. The sound was deafening.
Followed by. I saw a wet stick poke out of the toad's open mouth.
The toad kicked its legs and tried to escape. But it just bounced upwards on the spot.
No. It didn't jump on its own. It should be lifted up by the stick. Otherwise, how could it hang in mid-air and kick its limbs in vain. Weakness up and down.
The giant toad suddenly panned slowly for a short distance. Then it stalled slightly. Then quickly move to the side. With a "whoosh" sound, the stick flew away.
Shen Dali and I watched in amazement as this scene unfolded. Then Leng Yue was seen holding iron chopsticks. Stand where the giant toad was just now.
"Let's go."
Leng Yue took out a piece of cloth. Wipe the mucus off the iron chopsticks. Then he waved to me and Shen Dali.
Because the giant toad was thrown out and moved the air. The mist quickly dissipated into nothingness.
But. Shen Dali and I didn't dare to be careless. After all, just because you can't see the fog doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
On my reminder. Shen Dali took a deep breath with me. Then quickly run to the side of Cold Moon. Keep going.
Before. In the darkness, a giant toad looms. It seems to want to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak up on us.
After the cold moon showed its might. The toads seemed to be frightened. In the blink of an eye, it disappears without a trace. Didn't reappear.
experienced such an episode. We are walking more cautiously. I didn't even dare to breathe during the whole process. I was afraid that the sound of breathing would disturb my hearing and affect my judgment of danger.
We walked carefully through the thorny bushes. No one spoke all the way. It took about five minutes. Suddenly, I heard a strange noise. Hurriedly stretched out his hand sideways to stop Shen Dali and Leng Yue.
The two had a tacit understanding and didn't ask nonsense. Each raised his weapon. Sideways and back to back with me. Each in a different direction. Be vigilant and pay attention to the movement around you. And the sound of breathing is very low.
The strange noise I just heard was very slight. It's like the sound of a stone slab rubbing.
But because the voice only rang for a short time. So much so that I didn't have a way of pinpointing the direction in which the sound was coming from.
The three of us remained defensive. I waited quietly for a while. The voice never came again.
Because we think we can't just spend it here. I was going to whisper to them and I to move on. But I haven't said it yet. The voice rang out again. And it's clearer than I've heard before.
I was prepared in advance. So this time, I was able to accurately determine the direction where the voice was coming from. Right in front of me.
"This way." I whispered a reminder to Shen Dali and Leng Yue. and move the beam of the flashlight. Shine in the direction from which the strange sound came.
The surrounding thorns are entwined around the dwarf bushes. High and low. As a result, all I could see was bushes and thick shade. Other than that, nothing else was found.
That sound must not have been made by a giant toad. So I can't tell how big the thing that creates the sound is. I can only not let go of any detail without blinking.
With the strange noises coming one after another. And it's getting clearer and clearer. I realized. The thing that hides in the shadows is finally coming out.
In the area illuminated by the beam of my flashlight. Suddenly, there was a slight shaking of the bush. and make a subtle "rustling" sound. And with these moving images appear. It was a dark figure.
Look at the figure hidden among the bushes. I immediately became nervous.
If that's a person. Why is there no sound of breathing? Why is it making such a weird noise? Moreover. How could a person suddenly appear in this place?
Leng Yue also seemed to get nervous. He whispered to me and Shen Dali, "Be careful. ”
Not much. The figure finally showed its true face before our eyes. I was so shocked that I forgot to breathe.
The thing was humanoid though. But it's not human at all. Rather, it is a humanoid monster made of brown vines.
The vines look rough and hard. Rub against each other. The sound was like the grinding of stone slabs.
When the vine humanoid revealed itself in its full form under the beam of my flashlight. It stopped suddenly. Slowly tilt your head to one side. It was as if he was looking at the three of us curiously.
I whispered to Leng Yue, "You also encountered this thing last time you came in." There is no aggression. How to deal with it. ”
Leng Yue didn't answer my question. Suddenly, his eyes widened. He reached out and pushed me.
He didn't have much force in this push. It just makes me unstable. Take two steps to the side to stabilize your body.
Just when I stopped. A vine that looked like a lasso bounced up from where I had just stood. Quickly fledgling into the vine monster's hands.
I was shocked into a cold sweat. I'm scared for a while. I can't imagine if it weren't for Leng Yue pushing me. What will happen to me?
Leng Yue after pushing me. Only slightly stagnant. Then he threw up the iron chopsticks and pushed Shen Dali out two steps. He reached out and dragged me back.
A moment later. Two more lasso-like brown vines shot up from the ground. Shrink to the vine monster.
Its methods are really hard to guard against. Silent. When noticed. I've been hit. It's insidious.
The cold moon sometimes transposes. From time to time, he pulled, pushed me and Shen Dali. Continuously avoided the secret calculations of the vine monsters.
Let's be honest. This feeling is very uncomfortable. I felt like I had become a marionette. He didn't have the ability to move. You can only be at the mercy of others.
This went on for a while. Cold Moon finally stopped.
The vine monster must have failed due to repeated sneak attacks. Finally irritated. There was a strange roar like rubbing rubber. Rush out. Rushed towards the cold moon.
