Chapter 156: Soul Snatcher
[Lewen .la], to provide you with wonderful reading.
We immediately lay on the ground and turned off the flashlight, and in an instant, we were plunged into darkness. The disappearance of the light also made the surroundings seem quieter, only the screams that came from time to time became extremely harsh and unsettling.
The screams were getting closer, but they were also getting weaker, and the sound was probably the soup guy who had just escaped, but it sounded like it was more than auspicious now.
Eventually, the screams died away, replaced by a strange "whoosh" sound, like the sound of tree roots being shaken.
It was clear that something was bouncing between the roots of the trees above, and it was fast enough to reach the top of our heads in a flash.
I secretly prayed in my heart that this thing was just passing. But it backfired, and when the sound of "whoosh" continued directly above us, it stopped.
And my heart suddenly rose to my throat!
All I could feel was a rustling sound above our heads.
I don't know what that thing is doing, I just feel a tingling in the back of my neck.
Suddenly, something "plopped" and fell from above. My heart immediately tightened, and I subconsciously shrank my neck.
I listened intently to the direction in which the sound landed, but there was no follow-up.
In absolute darkness, the temporary failure of visual function makes it easier to concentrate. I found that my senses became more acute, and I guessed that the thing must have fallen into the sacrificial pool not far away, and at the same time, I smelled a faint smell of blood wafting over, so I dared to conclude that it should have been the guy who had escaped and had fallen into the sacrificial pool, and he should have been killed and thrown in. This is also the way Tang Jian'an's subordinates died. Rather, it was the thing that killed him, and it should now be on the roots of the tree that are entrenched above our heads.
I lay on the ground, invisibly felt a pressure from above, making my back stiff, I moved my arm slightly, but I didn't expect a "click" sound from the joint that had not moved for a long time! I scolded myself for being stupid, while holding my breath and listening to the movement from above, as I pressed my hand to the handle of the gun at my waist.
However, to my delight, the sound I made didn't seem to alarm anything above, which was a relief. I can only hope that it will leave on its own!
Just as I was relaxing a little, from the top of the top, suddenly there was a sound like a horn, not loud, but it could be clearly heard in my ears, the voice was low and graceful and majestic, as if it sounded in my ears. My heart fluttered violently with this voice! At the same time, it seems that there is a feeling of palpitations in the depths of my heart! It's as if something is surging! It's a weird feeling.
I didn't expect the thing on it to make such a sound, I don't know what it wants to do next, but I have an ominous premonition.
At this time, Tang Jian'an, who was lying next to him with Lantern Xiao, suddenly moved violently. Immediately after that, I heard the sound of two people entangled, and I was shocked that I didn't know what this Tang Jian'an was doing, so I hurriedly rushed over to help.
Tang Jian'an struggled violently to get up, and Lantern Xiao and I didn't know why he was crazy and suddenly like this. We were worried that something bad would happen to him, so we desperately tried to hold him down. Unexpectedly, we pressed his body, but he suddenly raised his hair and let out a strange cry, I quickly went to cover his mouth, but it was still too late.
At the same time as he spoke, something above us let out another trumpet-like cry. The voice was no longer as low as it had been before, but slightly high-pitched. This sound is really not big in decibels, I am afraid that I will not be able to hear it when I walk out of this small area, but I don't know why this sound has an extremely shocking feeling after entering my ear canal and then entering my brain. I subconsciously withdrew my hand and covered my ears.
But let Tang Jian'an take this opportunity to get up and run away. I wanted to chase it, but my ears were buzzing with the sound just now, and a deep fear swelled up in my heart! Even my head is a little dizzy! I was surprised to feel that way. But what I have left of my sanity tells me that there must be something wrong with this voice!!
I pinched my ears and slapped myself in both mouths to clear myself up. The effect of self-harm is okay, and the feeling just now seems to have been lessened.
At this time, I heard something falling from above, but this time the sound was different from the sound of "plopping" and falling just now, this time it was "popping" twice, and I could hear that this time the thing falling from the top was very stable and the legs landed.
I knew it was the weird thing this time, and it looked like it was finally aiming its claws at us. But at this point, my mind was dizzy, and although I heard the sound of it landing, I could not judge the direction.
Just as I was stunned, a flashlight suddenly lit up, and with the help of the flashlight, I saw a terrible thing standing not far in front of me. It looked like a withered monkey, covered in blue-gray, withered and thin, veritable skin and bones. The two eye sockets are deep-set, like skeletons. The most peculiar thing is that it has a pair of horns on its head.
This sudden appearance in front of my eyes made my scalp explode. The monster looked up in the direction where the bright light came, I remembered that it should be Wenmo's location, fortunately it didn't seem to notice me, I resisted the fear in my heart, forced myself not to scream, and then hurriedly retreated.
But as soon as I moved, the monster in front of me immediately turned its head, and its sunken eye sockets stared at me like two black holes, and I immediately felt that it was difficult for me to even breathe.
It took two steps towards me, I just wanted to raise my gun to shoot, and suddenly I saw the monster in front of me, and opened its mouth, I secretly said that it was not good, lest it would roar again, its roar was weird and human, I probably understood why Tang Jian'an would go crazy in such a short time.
I quickly grabbed the gun's hand back and covered my ears with both hands. I would have made that shocking sound again, but I didn't expect it to just bare its teeth and then make a baby-like cry out of its mouth. It was a bit of a surprise to me, it seems that it doesn't just have a sound.
There is nothing peculiar about this sound, maybe this is its ordinary sound, taking this opportunity, I quickly raised the gun, fired two shots at the monster in front of me, and spewed out tongues of fire at the muzzle, and the monster instantly turned away from the aperture of the flashlight, and I don't know where it jumped.
As the gunshots came to mind, everyone turned on the flashlights, and the second uncle stepped forward and pulled me, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Run!" ”
Everyone got up from the ground and started to run wildly, and we had barely gone far when I suddenly felt a dark shadow fall from the sky and fall on my shoulder. It's the monster! I screamed in shock, raised the flashlight and threw it backwards, and the pure steel flashlight smashed into the monster's bone-covered body, making a "bangbang" sound. But the thing didn't seem to feel pain, and it didn't let go of my clothes.
I subconsciously turned my head to look at it, and I was surprised to find that its mouth had grown to an incredible angle, and it bit off at my neck. I hurriedly blocked it with my arm, and my heart said that it was a piece of meat on my arm, and I was also bitten on the neck and lost my life.
Just as I gritted my teeth and was about to endure the pain, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the second uncle jumping up high, picking up the flashlight in his hand with all his strength and smashing it down on the monster on my shoulder. This time the power is very great, and our flashlight steel is very thick, quite weighty, if this time it is smashed on ordinary people, it will be a fracture, if it is smashed on the head, it will be fatal.
All I heard was a "bang" in my ears, and the monster screamed and fell. I quickly raised my gun and looked back, only to find that it had disappeared from the ground with a single bone. I couldn't help but pinch my heart, and I said that this thing is so difficult! But anyway, let's run first!
After that monster was smashed down by the second uncle, he probably thought that my side was more difficult to deal with, so he didn't continue to attack me, but instead pounced on a lonely guy from the Yuan family not far away. As we ran, we heard a man's scream, followed by a scream, and when we rushed over, all we saw was a trail of blood on the ground.
This thing moves quickly, ruthlessly and accurately, I can only be considered lucky, if it weren't for the second uncle by my side, I would have ended up like this now.
"Where have the people gone?" Tian Lao Si shouted. One of the guys suddenly shouted, "Look at it! ”
We raised our flashlight and looked upwards to see that the monster was dragging the guy to the root of the tree coiled above, I didn't expect that skinny monster to have so much strength. The man's eyes widened at this time, and his body was still twitching, but it seemed that his pupils had dilated and he was hopeless. The blood on his neck was still dripping.
Tian Lao Si shouted, raised his gun and hit, and we also followed and shot upward, and the dense bullets hit it, and it was estimated that the monster couldn't bear it, threw down the corpse, and disappeared between the roots of the tree in a blink of an eye. Poor fellow, when he fell, he was completely lifeless, the wound on his neck was still bleeding, his eyes were still open, and he seemed to be unwilling to die.
Tian Laosi squatted down, frowned, and then closed the corpse's eyes behind him.
This monster seems to be smarter than we thought, and it actually knows how to choose the right target to attack.
