Chapter 16: The Flesh That Eats Man
This time, even Shi Lei's face was ugly and he didn't speak.
Yesterday, a total of eleven people fell into this world by elevator, and it was only one day, and now only six of them are left.
Originally, I thought that the strength of myself and others would be enough to deal with these fierce beasts and protect myself.
But after witnessing the crazy spider tide, Shi Lei finally felt fear.
It's not something you can cope with more strength at all.
If he had entered the elevator at that time, he would have died as well.
Ma Jiaqi was suddenly swallowed by the spider tide, which hit everyone hard.
Xiao Han didn't speak, he looked at the other five people, and a thought popped up in his heart.
Who will die next?
Perhaps all of them will not be spared, including himself.
The difference is only which one dies first, which one dies later, and which one dies worse.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Wang Tianyu muttered: "I didn't expect that it was not only those beasts that were ferocious, but also these insects that were even more terrifying. β
Now even if they encounter two or three giant rat attacks, they are confident that they can handle it.
But when I thought of the swarm of spiders, I couldn't do anything.
Liu Qiang wiped a handful of sweat with a sad face, and said: "Everyone think of a way, we have to find a way to find a safe place, if we continue like this, we will all die here, we will all die ......"
As soon as he said this, suddenly something burst out, wrapped around his feet and neck, and suddenly hung him upside down, and quickly rose above the big tree.
It happened suddenly, and everyone was taken aback.
Liu Qiang was even more frightened, fighting desperately and screaming.
The sudden outburst entangled his foot and neck was a very strange withered vine.
His back was against a towering tree that was more than ten feet high, and the thickness of the stem alone required at least several people to hug him.
There were many similar dead vines hanging from the poles, and the people didn't care.
But no one could have imagined that one of these hanging vines could move like a python.
This withered vine, which can move like a python, wrapped around Liu Qiang's foot and neck, and then hung it upside down and quickly rose.
How can this withered vine hurt people?
What kind of weird creature is this?
Could it be that there is a snake python creature that looks like a dead vine hidden among these withered vines?
This time, everyone did not flee, but rushed up to save Liu Qiang.
It's just that the stem of this big tree is very smooth, and it is too thick, and there is no place for them to climb it.
Liu Qiang had been hoisted more than ten meters above, still rising, and he kept struggling and screaming.
"Help me! Help meβ"
"I don't want to die, I still have a wife and children - please - save me-"
Liu Qiang desperately shouted at Xiao Han and the others below, tears and snot all flowed down.
He watched Xiao Han and a few people rush up, as if they wanted to save him.
But immediately after Xiao Han, the faces of the five suddenly changed, becoming very weird, and then, they were retreating.
"What's going on, don't run, don't- help me-"
Liu Qiang screamed in despair, and suddenly, he seemed to remember something.
Desperately lifting his head up, trying to see if something was going on up there.
Then, he saw the most terrifying scene of his life.
At some point, the tips of the ancient vines that fell around this ten-foot-tall tree opened up.
Like suction cups, jagged rows of teeth are exposed.
These are some ancient vines, but tentacles with serrated suction cups.
Dozens of tentacles rose and opened, like a flower that suddenly bloomed and opened.
The withered vine that entangled Liu Qiang and hung him upside down from the tree was also a tentacle.
These dozens of giant tentacles more than ten meters long all protruded from a huge tree hole above this towering ancient tree.
At this moment, from this huge tree hole with a diameter of two or three meters, there is a behemoth squeezing out.
It was like a wriggling, irregular mass of meat.
One by one, tentacles grew from this irregular giant flesh.
Above the giant flesh, you can't see the eyes, nose, mouth, ears.
The surface of the giant flesh was covered in slime, and part of its body was squeezed out along the hole in the tree.
The ten-foot-tall tree had been hollowed out by it, and it took refuge in the hollow.
A part of its body has long been symbiotic with the tree, a part of the tree.
It absorbs nutrients with the help of large trees, and usually looks like a dead thing, no different from a plant.
When it wakes up, it changes from a vegetative state to an animal.
You can move, and use your tentacles to catch living creatures that are close to the tree.
It is a creature that is somewhere between a plant and an animal.
Sleeping is a plant, waking up is an animal.
When Liu Qiang saw it, several tentacles of the foreign object wrapped around Liu Qiang and sent him to the edge of the tree hole.
These tentacles were wrapped around his body, and Liu Qiang was almost out of breath, and the bones all over his body were entangled and gurgling.
In the midst of the huge flesh, a huge crack suddenly opened.
The cracks are outward, peeling away layer by layer, like an open mussel shell.
Rows of thin sharp teeth were exposed, and a large amount of juice flowed from them.
Liu Qiang let out an earth-shattering roar.
I could only watch as I was tied up by my tentacles, and then stuffed little by little into this huge crack that opened open.
Liu Qiang's screams stopped abruptly, and his head was sent in first.
The open crack contracted, sucking Liu Qiang's head.
Rows of sharp teeth bit into his body.
He didn't die immediately, but he couldn't make a sound.
The tentacles that wrapped around his body were loosening, sending him inside.
And the crack is constantly wriggling.
Soon, this open crack completely swallowed Liu Qiang's entire body.
The cracks that had been open shrank and disappeared.
Only this huge piece of flesh seems to have swelled outwards a little.
Liu Qiang has disappeared.
If it weren't for witnessing it, no one would have believed that this huge piece of flesh had just swallowed a person alive.
Xiao Han and the five of them fully witnessed this process.
Everyone was covered in cold sweat, their faces were as pale as paper, and their legs were trembling slightly.
They stayed away from the tree of terror, but they didn't flee immediately.
Dozens of terrifying tentacles hung high above the towering trees, and everyone couldn't even climb up for a while.
Not to mention fighting this terrifying monster to save Liu Qiang.
The only thing they could do was to watch Liu Qiang being devoured, but they were helpless and couldn't think of any way to save him.
The irregular piece of flesh devoured Liu Qiang, and then slowly retracted back into the tree hole.
The dozens of tentacles hung down again, turned into dead vines, and remained motionless.
Everything was quiet all around.
The scene that just happened seemed to be just a hallucination.
It was like a dream.
A gust of cold wind blew, Xiao Han trembled and came to his senses.
