Chapter 9: The Giant Worm
The woods were still shrouded in darkness, and the moonlight from the sky only shone faintly on the ground through the gaps between the leaves. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The thickly grown shrubs trembled in the wind, and a black shadow flashed in the endless darkness.
Occasionally, the beams of the moonlight that fell down revealed their true appearance, which was none other than Lyle.
At this time, Lyle, who was rushing rapidly, looked panicked, and cold sweat overflowed from his forehead from time to time, sliding down his cheeks.
"Are you still careless, I didn't expect to shoot in the middle of the night. Lyle thought of the empty Suzu's bed in front of him when he woke up, and the smell of magic that remained around him, and his inner anxiety increased a little, and his pace gradually accelerated.
Why are you so uneasy, Suzu, you must not have an accident.
And just a little away from Lyle, Suzu and Lin Toshi behind him were in a state that could not be relaxed, after all, in that darkness, unknown dangers were lurking.
"Lin, be careful, I feel the magic around me fluctuate. ”
Although he didn't completely receive the huge amount of information that Suzu had just told him about other worlds, he was able to understand the current situation at this time, so after listening to Suzu's reminder, Lin concentrated his attention again.
"Whoosh" a few times, several black shadows flew from the left side of Lin, but they were discovered by Suzu's perceptual ability, almost at the same time as he felt it, Suzu had already grabbed Lin behind him to his right.
Suddenly being torn apart, Lin who had not yet stabilized his body had already felt a few clusters of cold wind passing in front of him, and fell to the ground with a clicking sound, Lin groped to find what had just attacked him, although he couldn't see clearly in the dark, judging from the wound he had just left on his body, it should be something like a dart.
But when he really touched the "dart" inserted in the ground, Lin was a little suspicious, that kind of touch, not like the angular shape of ordinary darts, carefully touched, the shape of this "dart" is actually the shape of a cone, the sharp corner of the cone is just a light touch, the skin on the fingers will be broken.
It's really sharp, no wonder it fell on my arm with such a big wound, Lin thought to himself, subconsciously retracted the punctured finger, and held it in his mouth, and then picked it up with his other hand, through the moonlight falling on the side, I wanted to see what kind of structure this "dart" was.
At this time, perceiving that the magic around him had returned to stability, Suzu also shifted his attention to the things in Lin's hand, and he didn't know if he didn't look at it, but this look made both of them suddenly full of surprise, where is this a dart.
Suzu carefully observed the strange thing in Lin's hand, which was a large spike with a brown appearance, quite like the carapace of an insect, and a faint light refracted in the moonlight.
"Suzu, what the hell is this?" Lin's address to Suzu at this time has changed unconsciously, I don't know if it was because of the dangerous situation at this time, in order to know more information as soon as possible, he simplified the title, or because he showed his true feelings just now and became closer. But at this time, there is no extra strength and time for Suzu to think about this kind of problem.
After Suzu saw it, she also had a puzzled face, "It's like the sharp horns of an insect, but it's too big." ”
"I think so, too, it seems that the other party doesn't just know how to use a hidden weapon, but what is this thing that looks like an insect's sharp horns? ”
"It's nothing else, it's the horns of insects, or the protrusions on the body, to be exact. ”
A woman's voice suddenly came from a distance, so that the two people who were thinking about it pulled back to reality, although the inexplicable woman's voice sounded good, but it may be because Suzu's perception is now extraordinary, so even the danger contained in that word is more clearly engraved in Suzu's brain, when the voice reaches the ears of the Suzu, it seems to reveal a trace of infiltrating breath, like a thousand years of ice, pierced into the nerves, and then continues to drill deeper.
Suzu's legs were weak, and she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Lin beside her supported Suzu's body in time, otherwise, if the enemy took the opportunity to send out the next wave of attacks, she really couldn't dodge, I was afraid that she would be rolled into a honeycomb by the inexplicable sharp corners.
"Who?" Lin exclaimed nervously.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you, just recite my name silently under the Yellow Spring, and then pray again and again that you won't touch me again. The mysterious woman said haughtily, laughed treacherously, and then, slowly walked out of the darkness and appeared in front of Suzu. "Just call me Annemes"
It was a very beautiful woman, to be precise, it should be bewitching, the rose-like strange outfit wrapped her slender figure, it seemed slender, and it added a little more to her bewitchment, under the green silk, there was a pair of amethyst-like pupils, but there was no such clear gaze, but she could see the endless depth from her eyes, and the ruthless breath kept coming out of it.
Judging from her countenance, this woman was about twenty years old, with fair skin, but not as pure white as snow, but as white as white bones, and in her bony right hand held a purple recorder, which gave people an unrelieved sense of depression like her pupils.
"You just played the flute. Lin, who first woke up from the charming appearance of the mysterious woman, spoke.
"That's right, the high-level magic of the wind system, the sound of illusion, can also be said to be illusion, there are very few people who can use this move, and even fewer are proficient in using it, although I only know some fur, but it is enough to deal with you two little devils. ”
"But does it still work?" Rin sneered at the woman named Annemes in front of him.
"What did you say?"
"Anyway, this kind of thing is to paralyze other people's senses and manipulate each other through suggestion, but once there is a more exciting feeling, it will disturb the manipulation of illusion, especially your low-level illusion. ”
When he heard that his move was called a low-level illusion, Annemes's face was obviously covered with an embarrassed expression, but it was only a flash, and he was still in such darkness, so Lin couldn't see the change in the other party's expression.
Lin pointed to the wound on his arm, because the wound was very deep, even if it was temporarily treated, there were still blood stains coming out.
"Now I'm in a lot of pain, and in this case, even if you confuse Suzu again, I can still run away with her, and I won't make you satisfied. ”
As if mocking the innocence of a child, Annemes laughed frivolously.
"What's so funny. ”
"You're so stupid, do you think I'm just going to confuse people? ”
Annemes retracted her smile and spoke in a mocking tone. Then he raised his hands and put the recorder to his mouth, and the strange sound of the flute instantly filled the forest.
At this time, the bell was also startled by the sudden sound of the flute, and quickly covered his ears, for fear of falling into a hallucination again. Lin on the side also covered his ears with one hand, supported the bell with the other, and stared at the woman in front of him with all his mental strength, although he refuted Annemes with confidence just now, but he was still very unconfident in his heart, and he subconsciously made corresponding precautions without knowing the details of this flute.
But what happened next caused the two of them to panic, compared to falling into a hallucination.
Under the effect of his own perceptual ability, the bell clearly felt that after the flute sounded, the originally quiet darkness around him began to stir, and at this time, there was no wind at all, but there were leaves falling above his head, as if he had been deliberately swept down.
What a strange magic, this is the only thought in Suzu's heart at this moment, under her perception, the magic around her began to move as if it had life, from slow to rapid, and at the same time, a burst of "rustling" sounds also came to people's ears.
"Lin, in the surrounding trees, there are other things, and..." Suzu paused, swallowed, and continued in a voice that was even more timid than before, "Moreover, it's not your average danger. ”
"I know that even if I don't have your ability, I can clearly feel a strong sense of oppression coming at me now. Lin's tone was very hurried, and it could be seen that he was also very panicked, and beads of sweat the size of beans came out like a flood that had broken through the promotion.
Suddenly, the darkness around them began to slowly dissipate like an old stone wall cracking and collapsing, and finally, with a strange roar, the monster hidden in the darkness finally revealed itself.
It was a huge insect-type monster, the body was a huge centipede, hundreds of fluffy legs were distributed on both sides of the giant insect, and its torso covered by brown beetles looked incompatible, but it still released a terrifying aura, the body of the giant insect was about dozens of meters long, and the whole body was wound twice around a circle of trees centered on the bell, and there were slender protrusions on the body, densely distributed, and the "darts" that shot at the two before were also these protrusions.
The head of the giant insect slowly raised, and suddenly opened the four giant eyes on its face, which were four blood-red eyes, full of killing and brutality, and under the blood-red eyes, there was a mouth like pincers, and the giant insect opened its eyes at the same time, the fangs in its mouth were also exposed, each of which was like a big knife, reflecting a penetrating cold light under the illumination of the moonlight.
Suzu felt that the aura emanating from this giant insect was the same as the monster that looked like a dog and a non-dog that she had encountered before.
At this moment, even the most daring person is estimated to be scared half to death, and suddenly jumping into such a behemoth is not a joke.
Lin's face was pale, his body was numb with fright, and he was stiff and motionless, and because he had encountered a similar situation before, Ling was still more sensible, at least he was not scared stupid, but this time he encountered it was different from the previous one in heaven and on earth.
Suzu suppressed the fear in her heart and said to Annemes in front of her, "You also released the monsters that attacked me the first two times." ”
"The first time that puppy was indeed mine, but it was just a waste pawn, and the second time it wasn't me, I don't have that bad taste for controlling the soul. ”
This made Suzu sound very unhappy. You think you don't have a bad taste, Suzu complained dissatisfiedly, if the conditions allowed, she really wanted to go up and beat the woman immediately, but after all, it was just her own wishful thinking.
Suzu was helpless, and began to look around again, trying to find a way to get out, but unfortunately, for a while, Suzu really couldn't find any good way.
Lin also recovered from the shock he received just now at this time, but looking at the giant insect on his head, he still couldn't be calm in his heart.
"It's almost time for the ceremony to end," said Annemes, smiling wickedly, in a cold, emotionless voice, "Catch that girl, my darling, and the man as your dinner." ”
"Hiss-tear-" Instantaneously after Annemes gave the order, a strange cry came out of the giant worm's mouth, and its huge body began to squirm, and the pincer-shaped mouth of its head also attacked in the direction of the bell.
