Chapter 317: The ...... of the Ultimate Gaze
The lurking killer sea and land subspecies, where is the vast world going.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It may seem normal for both Twilight and Dawn to be wary of the grove that is unobstructed even if it is not lush, rather than a pond where even the bottom of the water is clearly visible, but if it is a deliberate trap, then the conclusions that come with it are chilling.
The real problem is not in the grove, but in this pond!
Suhui's reaction speed can be considered fast, and he began to retreat almost as soon as Twilight shouted...... Twilight hadn't even had time to finish a sentence, as the Moon Prayer people couldn't speak as fast as the Xin Yu people, so the best way to face such a dangerous situation was to start backing away the moment she heard her companion's voice.
However, even though he was moving quickly, when he pulled his arm out of the pond, he was suddenly met with great resistance, as if something invisible was desperately pulling his arm, and this change suddenly made his face change, and his feet pulled his body back violently.
Whoa......
This stirring was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the originally calm and clear pond water suddenly appeared a large wave for no reason, and as Su Hui's struggle became more and more violent, a whole stream of water appeared on the surface of the pond with an obvious bulge visible to the naked eye, as if he had pulled a part of the water out of the pond. Twilight screamed in terror as she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Glow's body and dragged her back, helping him fight the terrible suction.
"It's not a stream of water, there's something transparent underneath that keeps pulling at my feet!" Su Hui tried his best to pull his right hand out of the current of the pond, grabbed the bone spear on the side and stabbed it into the water, but it was useless, and the bone spear was quickly sucked firmly, and he couldn't pull it out, "What the hell is this!" ”
The completely transparent enemy finally appeared, the liquid that looked like transparent glue was not much different from the water on the outside, but they were alive, spreading upwards along the legs of the Celestial Radiance, and large areas of corrosion quickly appeared on the outer layer of the animal's skin clothes. Su Hui's leg was obviously suffering from severe pain, his face turned pale, and he desperately tried to hold on to some place that could be supported, but the ground next to the pond was flat and smooth,
There was no hard place to hold onto, and the only thing that could help him stay on now was Twilight's tightly held hand.
The strength of the Moon Prayer Man is very strong, and a single person may not be able to fight against it, but if two people work together, even if the force conditions are not very good, it is enough to resist this pull, and even with the passage of time, the advantage of this tug-of-war is moving towards the Moon Prayer Man.
However, the flying scythe that hovers in the sky finally finds its chance.
"It's not good...... Twilight was pulling Suhui's arm with all her might, and she couldn't make any other moves, and she didn't have time to think about what to do, because the next moment, a flying scythe fell down like a meteor, leaving a long afterimage in the sky. In the blink of an eye, it had pounced on the spot where Twilight had grabbed Glow's arm.
There was no suspense, when the white shadow passed, a bright red blood bloomed in the air...... Su Hui screamed, probably because of the smell mark, this time the flying scythe chose to attack him was still him, and the already difficult persistence fell apart in an instant at this moment, and the sudden loss of strength made Twilight Xue completely unable to catch him, and the transparent liquid like glue had already spread violently along this opportunity, wrapping half of Su Hui's body.
"Get out of here!" Seeing that there was no way out, Su Hui suddenly changed the direction of the force, pushing the unexpected twilight snow towards the direction away from the pond, and the water surface of the pond at this time was rolling wildly like boiling, "Get out of here immediately, remember to protect yourself!" ”
Twilight staggered back a few steps, but when she looked up, she saw several flying scythes flying around Suhui's head, each contact accompanied by blood light blooming in the air, but he completely ignored these little insects that took advantage of the fire to make himself a blur of flesh and blood, but forcefully pulled out the bone spear that had been sucked in the pool and threw it far away, and the next moment, the transparent liquid covered his face.
The group of flying scythes that were still taking advantage of the opportunity to attack quickly flew into the air as if they were frightened, and several flying scythes that were a little slower were also completely encased in that transparent liquid. Naturally, these small insects, which are known for their agility, have the strength to escape the suction, and they are completely trapped in this invisible trap and cannot move, like white spherical gems enclosed in a transparent medium.
Twilight watched in shock, the suffocation of his head completely encased in the clear liquid had clearly made him even more powerless to break free, and his struggle turned into a futile that he couldn't use at all, making a gesture of distance towards Twilight with all his might. As the transparent liquid tried to spread further, Twilight screamed and stepped back a few meters again.
I don't know if it was due to its ability or just unwillingness, the liquid-like creature did not continue its pursuit, and when it sensed that Twilight Snow was about ten meters away from the pond, it stopped spreading further, and instead dragged Suhui back to the small pond where he had been sheltering, along with the flying scythes that had been caught by the way. The creature was visibly as corrosive as digestive juices, as his clothes had grown in strange spots, and his struggles had slowed down, and his silvery-white crescent-shaped eyes began to crumble.
His eyes were completely blind within seconds of being exposed to that fluid, and the corrosive liquid that was frantically pouring into his mouth and airways was apparently eating away at his body from within. Twilight kept a safe distance of more than five meters, watching as the unnamed creepy dragged Akira's entire body into the pond, soaking in a completely transparent liquid that floated slightly until his last movements came to a halt.
The surface of Su Hui's body gradually appeared chaotic and disorderly, he finally twitched his body, his hands and feet were straight, his head remained slightly open, and his mouth remained slightly open, and the expression that mixed unwillingness and horror was frozen forever, and the silver-white hair quickly broke into countless fine debris in the corrosive liquid, slowly melting.
Bright red blood flowed from every wound on his body, seeping into the body of the unknown monster, and the bottom of the pond was stained a dark red, and the original bones looked very strange against the background of this trace of blood mist, as if they were smiling hideously.
When walking in the frozen places of the Northern Yuan Continent, never go near the small bodies of water that don't seem to be frozen, which are the lair of monsters called gels. Similar to the gel that Xinglan encountered at the bottom of the sea during the Dragon Soul Period, they have differentiated into this subspecies that lives in land and water, and is not very mobile, but it is extremely stealthy, and will completely envelop its prey with itself and then slowly digest it.
"But if, I mean, if the problem is solved, then I'll probably tell her why I'm doing this......
Twilight watched in a daze as Akira was completely dead, and his corpse would even remain as it was now, and many days would be fully digested. She didn't know what she was thinking, no tears of sorrow, no wails of despair. After staring at the small pond and regaining its quietness, Twilight Snow put on the animal's skin hood to protect against the attack of the flying scythe, and walked to the nearby snow to pick up the bone spear that Suhui often held in his hand and carefully rubbed it. The bone spear was still damp, a mark from the real water in the pond, not part of the gel.
She thrust her bone spear upside down into the snow and looked at the snowy ground in front of her...... The land, which would come to life again in the future, trembled with her right hand, which was almost frozen by the cold, reached into the cloak and groped around her waist until she untied the knot with difficulty and took out what she wanted.
A slender purple branch, which has become incomparably rounded after a long time of polishing, has a regular distribution of holes on the surface, and the interior is hollowed out like a rough flute, which is a gift received. Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and she could clearly feel how her fingers, numb from the low temperature, brought the rough instrument to her mouth, and took a deep breath of the cold, biting air of the snowfield.
Unknown tunes resounded in this barren land, spreading far away, with a small volume but a strong penetrating power. There were no pterosaurs in the sky this time, because even a pterosaur would not want to come to such a cold place. With the sound of the unfamiliar playing, countless images flashed through Twilight's mind, and she narrowed her eyes as if she had seen them again.
The corpse of a tortured seafarer on the coast of the Nanyuan Continent......
The moon praying man wailing after being attacked by an invisible attack in the forest......
The last gift of the Xin Yu man on the isolated island in the sea......
The flesh and blood remains that were directly crushed by the towering ancient trees in the earthquake......
Xinglan struggles to hold on to the boulder before the ice cave collapses......
Suhui who was wrapped in transparent gel and forcibly dragged into the pond......
……
The two worlds divided by the Gorge of Life and Death, the memories that accompanied the sadness came to her heart one after another, and Twilight felt that the whole world seemed to be watching her at this time, like the eyes of the stars that can be seen in the night sky every night, observing everything with a ruthless and empty gaze.
In a trance, she seemed to have returned to her cabin in the Nanyuan Continent again, it was more than ten years ago, when there were still some saplings in the trees at the door of the hut, when she was young, she looked up at the silver-white ice moon frost in the sky outside the house, her mother who was chuckling in the faint light of the saucer flower and her father, who couldn't remember his face because he had passed away too early, and the lonely cloud who always hid in the corner of the forest and quietly watched her.
Tears, shimmering with crystalline light, slipped down, like snowflakes fluttering in the sky, and eventually silently melted into the frozen earth.
The whole world seemed to be distorted at this moment, the real and the unreal became indistinguishable, the melody of the flute came to an abrupt end, and a pair of arms gently embraced her into her arms, as warm and soft as many years ago.
"Poor child, when you feel lost and lonely, please keep it in mind." Tears blurred her vision, and a voice full of concern spoke in her ear, "The bright moonlight is the softest gaze of the gods, and it will always be with you, and shelter all who deserve it." ”
