Chapter Twenty-Four: A Narrow Encounter

CHAPTER XXIV

Chubby and I quickly shuttled through the woods, feeling like we had run a long way, but I didn't even see the shadow of Xiao Chen and the parasite, which seemed very strange, so I grabbed Chubby and motioned for him to stop.

"Don't run away." I said.

"What? If you don't run anymore, you can't catch up with Xiao Chen and them. "Chubby was puzzled by my behavior.

"Xiao Chen and the parasite left on foot, and we ran so far and didn't catch up, what does it mean?" I said.

"......" Chubby thoughtfully.

I looked around, and I didn't find anything unusual, all the same trees were the same, and the thick fog that was in the way, which made us completely unclear about the south, south, north, west, and north, it seemed that Xiao Pang and I should be running in the wrong direction, and it was impossible to meet Xiao Chen and them if we continued to run like this.

"I said, Huo Jia, we won't be so unlucky, right?" Chubby had a bitter face.

"It's not your fault for this, I'm running away blindly, I'm really running with my brain pumping and running with you." I said.

"Damn, I'm not thinking about meeting up with Xiao Chen soon." Chubby whispered.

"Yes, it's come to this, it's certain to get lost, we have to think of a way." I rested against a tree.

"Why don't we go back and find the red bandana first?" Chubby proposed to me.

"There is no distinction between humans and animals three meters away from here, like a maze array, are you sure you can go back?" I said.

At this time, a series of gunshots suddenly echoed in the woods, but I couldn't tell where they were, it was the red turban? Or maybe it's Xiao Chen? Damn, it seems that something must have happened, and those zergs are really difficult. Chubby looked around for a while and asked, "Can you tell what's going on?" ”

"I'm not a good ear, how can I hear it?"

"In this case, there is a possibility that something may happen to both of them, so we are lucky that neither side can catch up." The little fat spread his hands and said.

As soon as I heard this, alas, it seemed to be the same thing, but there seemed to be something wrong......

"Holy! Be careful! Fat suddenly roared and pulled me towards him, I looked back, a black spear-like object was stuck straight into the trunk of the tree I was leaning on, the whole trunk was pierced, if it wasn't for Fat pulling me, it is estimated that it was my body that was pierced.

"It's ...... Miscellaneous...... What is it? I looked along the spear-shaped object with trepidation, and saw a completely black, reptile-like thing standing next to the tree staring at me and Chubby, its face was also pitch black, and it was impossible to distinguish between its eyes and nose, but the protruding antennae and mouthparts with large pincers could still be seen clearly, and the spear-like object seemed to extend from its claws, nearly seventy or eighty centimeters long. This thing is roughly estimated to be more than two meters in size, and it has steadily pressed us several times.

"Holy, what kind of breed is this? With that Zerg? Chubby said.

"This ...... I don't know if it's with the Zerg, but it's definitely not with us. "I silently held the saber in my hand. Suddenly, the monster retracted its spear-like claws and attacked us again, and because of the close distance, it moved very fast, more than the Zerg, and in a moment, I only felt a fire in my chest, and blood immediately gushed out.

When I almost fell backwards, I was fortunate to be supported by Chubby, I gritted my teeth and pressed the wound on my chest with my left hand, barely stopping the bleeding.

"Huo Jia!" Seeing that I was injured, the little fat seemed very anxious, the monster may also want to take advantage of our illness to kill us, and rushed towards us after a loud roar, suddenly, I only felt endless fear in my face, it was over, it was fixed, and I even closed my eyes in despair.

……

After waiting for a few seconds, I didn't see any pain in my body, could I have died so happily?

"Damn, such a powerful force, Huo Jia! Hurry up! I heard Chubby whisper in my ear.

I opened my eyes suddenly, just in front of the ugly monster, its exhaled breath was quite unpleasant, made me a little nauseous, I was disgusted, raised the knife and slashed its head, "Wow" The cold light of the saber passed, and half of the face of the thing was cut off by me, and it was dripping with bright green blood.

"Knock knock" The monster covered its face with its paws and stepped back, letting out a strange cry as it retreated, as if it was in great pain, and after a while, it actually stood up straight again and pointed its only half face at us, and raised its spear-like claws.

"Damn, this guy is a shell? So tenacious? Chubby was surprised.

"This guy is even more powerful than we thought, he can still survive if he cuts off half of his face, it seems that he can't do it without cutting off his whole head." I left Chubby's support, stood firm, and raised the knife, "Chubby, control it for a while, this time I will definitely be able to kill it." ”

"No, this guy is stronger than the Zerg, my ability is very weak compared to it, controlling it is very energy-consuming, I have to rest for a while." Chubby said to me seriously.

"Damn, where are you going to rest for a while at this critical juncture, there is no way, then you can only fight with it." After I heard that Chubby's ability didn't work, my whole body relaxed, isn't it just an enlarged version of a reptile, although it's not a little bit bigger...... Can I still be afraid that you won't make it?

Soon, the monster pounced on us again, I and Chubby jumped to the side, barely avoiding this move, Chubby also hurriedly pulled out the machete, we exchanged glances, aimed at its head and cut it off, who expected it to react quickly, a paw swept towards us, and Chubby and I couldn't dodge and was swept to the ground by it.

After this toss, the wound on my chest seemed to have a tendency to tear further, the blood continued to flow out, and my consciousness began to blur a little.

"Huo Jia, hurry up, it's here again!" Chubby saw that I was a little out of strength, and hurriedly helped me up.

"I guess I'm going to die, my consciousness is a little blurry, or you run first, I'll drag it." I shook my head, trying to stay awake.

"What stupid things are you talking about? What do you take to hold it back? You're gone with a claw. Chubby said loudly to me, for fear that I would suddenly fall to the ground unconscious.

"Shhhh "When the monster saw that we were not moving, he walked slowly again, its spear-like claws raised high, and only half of its face was extremely hideous. Chubby and I had knives in front of us, ready to die, and I thought it would be great if we could pull this guy on his back before we died.

"Can you control it now?" I asked in a whisper.

Little Fatty's eyes widened and he shouted: "Then try it, you can't die like this!" ”

"Huh" a blue light flashed in front of our eyes, and instantly a scorching smell hit, the monster was directly bombarded, and we were also overturned by this heat wave, and fell aside, and then, I tried to stand up and saw that a figure holding a long knife gradually walked out of the smoke and dust and stood in front of me, I raised my head, the scar on its face was a little eye-catching.
