Chapter 49: Thrilling Cliff Cave (2)
The sound of "cooing" behind him is getting louder and louder, and you can hear that the creature that was originally more than ten meters away is now slowly approaching!
"Quick, put out the torch!" Luthor didn't know what was behind him, but no matter what, the light of the fire would reveal their location, and hurriedly asked Tex to put out the torch with force. But this torch is not a small flame after all, it is attached to the leather cloth, and it cannot be stepped on easily. In a panic, Jack snatched the torch and swung it hard, and the torch crossed an arc and landed on the opposite wall seven or eight meters away from them.
"Quick, I've found a corner over here, let's go hide first!" Jack beckoned them to follow him, crouching and pacing to the corner of the wall on the left that was blocked by a large rock.
The moment the torch was thrown, the original "cooing" sound instantly turned into a deafening "roar!!", coupled with the echo effect in the cave, the three people were distraught and dizzy by this thick sound, and quickly covered their ears and quietly fell to the ground without making a sound.
The unknown creature must have been attracted by the firelight, and the roar grew closer.
"Tong ...... Open...... ...... to Jack's ears, the sound of the guy not knowing whether to walk or crash into the ground, one after another, as if to collapse the cave.
Finally, the monster revealed its true face!
How does it look like a lizard!?
Under the light of the torch, Jack saw that the salamander-like monster had a much wider body than the salamander, not to mention its size. The monster was black and brown, with black spots on its waist, and its head was flat and huge, almost hitting the top of the three-meter-high cave, and its body was long and stout, with a tail that did not fully show its sight dragging behind his seven- or eight-meter-long body. The monster's mouth and body were full of glittering light blue slime, and under his body were four short but strong legs, one leg was two thicker than a human waist!
Tex was at the front, and he could see clearly. The black-brown monster in front of him is unimaginably huge, and with the length of its tail, it is at least fifteen meters!
Tex felt the pores all over his body stand on end, and the weirdness of this thing made him shudder!
All three of them were silent, but the stench from the slime on the monster's body made them all cover their mouths and retch, but fortunately, the sound was not loud and it was not heard.
The monster lay in front of the torch, its mouth wide open, and roared, as if to accuse the torch of interfering with its rest.
Not daring to move, they watched as the monster breathed on the torches, and kept slapping the ground with its two webbed front legs, shaking the ground and shaking the gravel on the ground, as if the hole was about to collapse.
At this moment, the monster suddenly pounced on the torch, stretched out a long red tongue from its throat, licked the torch with a mouthful, and swallowed it!
It was pitch black in front of me!
All three of them tried to hold their breath in unison, and there was no sound around them.
As you can guess, the monster is still in place, crouching where they entered.
After a long time, there was a sound of teeth gnashing at something from the monster's side, presumably chewing on a wooden stick that had been destroyed.
Only when it leaves on its own initiative can Jack and the others get out of this dangerous place that they have strayed into. However, the monster should still be in place, as if it is reminiscing, whimpering and making a **** sound after swallowing.
Gradually, the sound of crawling and dragging its body came from the monster's side, and it should be returning to its place to continue resting.
The sound travels farther and farther away.
After a long time for the three of them, they felt that the surroundings were quiet, and Jack dared to speak: "Let's go back to the place we just stayed in." ”
So the three of them touched the wall, one by one, back to the place where they had entered, and when the monster had probably let his guard down completely, Turks took the fire rod from his bosom and blew on it.
In the faint light, the three of them could finally see where each other was, and this frightening few minutes, as if it had been a few days, were uncomfortable and aggrieved.
"We can't stay here, we need to get out of here. Tex reminded in a whisper.
The three of them slowly straightened up and quietly walked towards the place where they were coming.
After walking for a while, Jack grabbed Tex, who was in front of him, and said, "Tex, wait for me, I stepped on the ...... again"
With a helpless look, Turks asked Luthor to help him hold the sparkling fire stick, quickly bowed his head and helped Jack untie his shoelaces, and quickly straightened up, took the fire stick and continued to walk forward.
This time, Jack was really careful, barefoot with only his head down, trying to keep his eyes open to observe the ground, and walking slowly in the faint light.
In fact, this is not to blame him, how can a person who has stayed at sea all his life walk freely in such a low light, let alone see his feet clearly, and he may not even know where his hands are.
"Tong" ...... "Bang la la ......"
There was a sound of stones being kicked behind Tex, and before they could react, there was another "cooing" sound behind the three of them - the monster woke up again!
Unlike the previous time, after this sound, the sound of the monster's feet hitting the ground could be clearly heard - it was running!
"Jack!!torch!" Without much thought, Turks immediately called out to Jack to take out the torch and light it.
"Quick!" Tex urged.
"The torch seems to have fallen when it just crouched on the ground!!" Jack also shouted.
The monster's voice was getting closer and closer, and the situation was very critical! At this time, Luthor took the last torch of the three of them from his waist to Tex, and Tex's quickly lit it, and the fire illuminated the path under his feet, and Tex's rushed forward!
"Luther, keep up!" shouted Jack as he ran.
Luthor was not a young man after all, his speed and reflexes were a little sluggish, and in the blink of an eye, he fell five or six meters behind Jack and Tex, and behind him, followed by the monster with his mouth open and roaring!
"Hurry up!!" Jack and Turks had already run to the mouth of the cave, waiting to answer Luther.
Luthor tensed his nerves, kept his mouth shut, and ran as hard as he could, and the monster behind him was getting closer and closer!
In the nick of time, Luthor ran out, and the monster behind him was two or three meters away.
Turks and Jack grabbed Luthor and pulled her to the side, dodging the jaw that wanted to bite Luthor.
The monster didn't react yet, and rushed straight out of the cave and plunged headlong into the dark abyss!
"It's dangerous......," Jack breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, the soles of his feet had been dragged through the skin and blood stains because of the friction with the ground.
Luther, on the other hand, was the most angry of the three, pointing at Jack and Tex's noses and scolding, "For the curiosity of you two, I almost lost my life! What about your mission!??What about your inner goal!?" Luther's muscles were exposed, and his eyes looked like they were about to pop out because of his extreme anger.
But it was a false alarm, and Jack and Turks looked at each other and smiled, and then fell silent, quietly accepting Luthor's scolding.
