Chapter 14: The Giant-Eyed Snake
The grass made it difficult for him to see the wriggling thing, so Stern continued to look forward. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but first saw Donnie lying on the ground, and a black "tree root" wrapped around Donnie's neck! It's the "roots" that are wriggling! It may have sensed Stern's approach, and quickly slid off Donnie's neck.
Stern thought it was a snake, and quickly rushed over to try to drive it away, but he didn't think that the "tree root" seemed to feel Stern's threat, and instead of continuing to escape, he slowly stood up his front body, and then revealed a miserable white "eyeball" with a big head!
Stern was startled by the sudden rise of the "eyeball" and stopped his progress.
This snake, which looks like the root of a tree, has a head the size of a human head and looks like an eyeball! Stern was stunned for a moment, but the strange snake was ready to pounce on him! His first instinct was that it might be a huge poisonous cobra, so he didn't hesitate to take out his pistol and aim it at the "eyeball"
Bang –
The bullet hit the target, and the "eyeball" instantly splattered red blood, and twisted in the air in all directions, and the body below also writhed wildly for several minutes before slowly falling to the ground.
Stern hit the "eyeball" and then stood far away, slowly approaching until it fell to the ground. But the strange thing was that although the ground was splashed with blood, he did not smell the slightest smell of blood in the air, but there was a faint pleasant smell. Stern was worried about the poison, so he immediately covered his mouth and nose and held his breath. And turn his head and warn Kansa to cover his mouth and nose and not to approach!
He slowly approached the body of the "snake", and what surprised him was that it was not the body features of a snake at all, but a real piece of tree root - it was a strange creature with an arm-thick and covered with dark brown skin like tree bark, more than a meter long, and the "eyeball" that was blown out was a bast that was split into several pieces of scale-like rolling bastrum, and there was a layer of muscle-like tissue stained with red liquid, but strangely there was no such creature without the head tissue that snakes have. Stern was puzzled, and poked it with a knife, but found that it was soft, and the body suddenly writhed a few times and never moved again.
Although Stern was very surprised that there were such strange creatures here, he was now more concerned about how Downey was doing, so he walked around the strange snake to see how Downey was doing. It was found that Donnie was only unconscious, his breathing was steady, his physical signs were normal, and his neck that had been wrapped around the strange snake turned out to be normal, and no signs of being bitten were found on his body. Stern reassured and tried to wake him up, but he didn't respond. Kansa walked over and looked at the strange creature's body, with an incredulous expression.
Stern asked him if he had ever seen the creature, and Kansa said no, if it weren't for the white eyeball-like head, it would have been almost a vine.
While Stern was still trying to wake Donnie, Kansa suddenly pointed at Stern's back in horror as if he had seen something terrifying, shouting - youkai - tree...... Dryad!
Stern suddenly heard Kansa call out these words incoherently, he realized what danger was, and without saying a word, he pulled out his pistol, and turned around to look back at what kind of monster it was. But suddenly he was pulled out by Kansa with a huge tearing force. At the same time, he turned around and saw a giant green oval eye staring at them in the black hole of the tree trunk in the distance! The giant eye took up almost the entire tree hole, and there was some strange creature in the dark depths of the tree hole, but Stern could feel a chilling terror!
However, Donnie was still lying unconscious in the grass in front of him, and he couldn't leave him alone, so Stern broke away from Kansa's hand and quickly aimed at the giant eye and fired a shot, the bullet shot straight at the green giant eye in the tree hole with a "bang", but what he didn't expect was that the bullet seemed to hit the stump, making a dull sound and the giant eye disappeared in an instant! As if it never existed!
Stern held the gun in one hand, his whole body was trembling unconsciously, his chest was rising and falling violently, he was panting heavily, his eyes were staring straight at the hollow of the tree, full of a kind of extreme fear, his mind was trying to recall the strange scene he had just seen, as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him!
- If that's the eyes of some kind of creature, how big does that creature have to be!
Stern slowly calmed down, and began to analyze in his mind, judging from the sound of bullets, he didn't seem to hit any flesh-and-blood creatures, and then the eyes seemed to be magical, and suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes! Could that really be the god of trees in Kansa's mouth? Or maybe they're hallucinating - the big green eyes didn't exist at all! It was caused by their accidental inhalation of the strange scent emitted by the corpse of the strange snake. Thinking about it like this, the more Stern thought about it, the more scared he became, and his heart was pounding!
But at that moment, there was some rustling in the labyrinth of dense roots to his left, and the roots kept stirring, as if some creature was rapidly drilling this way!
Stern secretly said that it was not good, could it be that some monster rushed over when he heard the sound, so he raised his gun again and aimed at the air root forest, who knew that Annie's voice came from the forest: "Sergeant Stern, it's me!" And Professor, what's going on? ”
As the last row of roots was removed, the figures of the Professor and Anne appeared in Stern's line of sight, and they quickly made their way through the tall roots to Stern.
Anne asked, "We heard gunshots in the woods and followed the source of the sound, did you also encounter 'it'?" ”
Stern was just frightened, and he didn't recover from his breath, but he suddenly heard Annie's words, and hurriedly asked,
"What? What did you just meet? Is it a monster with huge eyeballs or something scary? ”
Anne was about to talk to Stern when she saw Donnie lying in the grass.
"You found Donnie? How is he? How do you lie motionless on the ground? Anne didn't bother to answer Stern's question, so she walked over and crouched down to check how Donnie was doing.
"He's okay - he's - he's just been attacked by an unidentified creature, and he's in a coma." Stern propped his hands on his knees, leaned back against him, and Panted with his head down
Anne gave Donnie a cursory examination as she listened to Stern, and she was a little relieved. However, Anne didn't think it was good to let him lie in the damp grass like this, so she wanted to get his upper body up and move to the slightly dry roots. She saw Stern leaning against the root of the board with a frightened expression, and felt that he was greatly stimulated, so she did not plan to call him, and then called the professor to come and help.
But before she could say anything, she felt that she was holding Donnie's left forearm and was grabbed by a cold gooey thing! Although Anne suddenly felt a creepy feeling, she immediately reacted and wanted to break free from the thing, so she instinctively withdrew her hand inside. However, it was as if it was wrapped around her hand, and she couldn't break it off, but pulled her into the grass with great force!
