Chapter 49: The Monster !!

In a flash of brilliance, Dipo, who had passed through the portal, reappeared in the utility room on the dam. Everything around me is the same, only the kitchen door that slowly closes behind and the travel bag issued to me in my hand remind me of everything that has just happened. Outside the door, the morning sun has spread all over the land, and everything that has been sleeping has been reborn with brilliance, and the dam rumbles and the water still resounds in the sky. I have not eaten, drunk or slept for a day and a night.

"Come on...... Look here, this is the largest outlet of the dam......" A clear female voice was introduced from above, and then a noisy human voice sounded. Looking up, a tour group is walking above the dam.

Dipo then stepped forward to negotiate with the team leader as arranged. After some communication, Dipo learned that as Gedis said, they were indeed from Silas's tour group, and they had almost completed the entire itinerary, and they would return to Silas at noon today, and they didn't have much doubt about Dibo's request, and the standard travel backpack was indeed traveling on their own. They are also accustomed to accepting the extra money of accepting individual customers, and they are happy to accept it. It's just that now their regiment is full, and there is no spare place for the guest carriage back to the city. If Dipo didn't mind, the car with the luggage could be squeezed for Dipo. Di Bo naturally has no objections, after all, this is also the organization's arrangement, and if he misses this in the desolate wilderness, Di Bo doesn't know if he can find other chariots or portals to return to the city. He really didn't have the energy to walk back. The two sides agreed that Dipo would follow the tour group......

After visiting the majestic dam and learning a little about its history, the team set off again. As agreed, Dibo took a nap alone in the compartment where the suitcase was kept. The dam was the penultimate attraction of the tour, and they had a cistern to visit in the morning, and Dipo was tired and had no interest in getting off the bus with him, and he only rested in the carriage, which swayed along the way, and he gradually fell asleep......

"Puff...... Chirp...... "In his sleep, there was a strange sound in his ears, and Dipo opened his eyes and moved his still dizzy body and got out of the car. A flock of birds in the woods fluttered and flew to the sky, and the sound must have been made by them. Looked up at the time. It's noon in the red sun, and according to the time, it should have left for Silas, why hasn't there been any movement? With that in mind, Dipo walked to the front of the carriage. The whole wagon, including the front of the carriage, was empty, and there were no half-living creatures to be seen, except for the four horses tied to the tree that pulled the cart, and it seemed that none of the people who had gone out to play had returned.

"What's going on?" Confused, Dipo followed the footprints on the ground and looked into the woods, where he could faintly see the cistern that the tour group was going to visit.

"Lost? Still haven't had enough? All kinds of ideas kept coming to him, but it would be best to confirm it himself, so he thought Dipo and followed the road to the cistern.

"Huh?" When I came to the cistern, I found that it was also silent, not only did not even the tour group nor the caretaker here, but there was only a row of chaotic footprints leading to the watchtower on the side. There was an unusually frightening silence all around, and Dipo could almost hear his own slow heartbeat. However, Dipo was not a timid man, and he wanted to find out what was going on, so he followed the footsteps and made his way to the watchtower.

Pushing open the door, everything inside surprised Dipo slightly, and the room on the first floor was a mess, with backpacks, hats, handbags, etc. scattered all over the floor.

"What happened?" Dipo recognized some of the things that belonged to the tour group, but his doubts were deeper.

"Huh?" Just as Dibo was half-crouching down to examine the items, he suddenly noticed that the light in the room had suddenly dimmed, and there was a gurgling sound of running water around him. Shocked, Dipo turned around and saw a blood-red object blocking the door, completely blocking the door.

"This is? Slime? The appearance of the object in front of him Dibo couldn't help but let out a surprised question, but the next moment this question was denied by himself. Seeing the object in front of him, Depo realizes that it can't be a slime at all. As the basic monster slime on the continent, it is basically blue and green, generally only the size of a cat or a dog, and even a special variant is only the size of a child. They also feed on decaying trees, grasses, and leaves, and rarely insects, lizards, frogs, and small birds. But the object in front of him did not match the characteristics of a slime except for its rough, liquid-like appearance. The blood-black, wriggling hill is generally fat, with a body as tall as a two-story building, and dozens of people the size. The liquid-like body stretched out of its body with various indescribable tentacles waving. His eyes were as strange as a snail, staring at Dibo with a fierce light, and under his eyes, his entire body was vertically stretched out in a slit the size of a person, and the slit was densely packed with teeth and tongues. Even more frightening was the cloudy interior of the object, which was incompletely discernible but clearly home to several humans.

"The people of the tour group!" Dipo recognized one of the frightened faces at a glance. It was the tour guide who had negotiated with her for a long time and agreed to take her back to Silas. But now she had nothing but the frightened face of her head, and the rest of her body had melted away, leaving only a blood-red silhouette. Almost everyone else is the same, with only a few stumps and severed arms, each of which has lost its precious life. Now Depo finally realized what was going on here. The tour group was attacked by monsters here, and all became bait for monsters, but this is not their hometown, but the forest next to the second largest city! There has always been peace and stability around the big cities in the empire, when was there such a monster? It's incredible.

"Boom ......," just as Di Bo was shocked, the monster in front of him let out a strange scream, and those terrible and ugly tentacles rushed straight at Di Bo.

“!” At this moment, Dipo was a little confused. Although he followed his adoptive father and hunted a lot of monsters that devoured people, it was the first time he faced monsters alone. And now his body has not fully recovered and is still a little weak, not to mention that the opponent is still a monster that he has never seen, according to the experience of his adoptive father's teaching, the structure of this monster is similar to liquid, and it is likely to have the characteristics of regeneration and splitting, not that his current fists and feet can work, and he has no weapons to fight against at the moment.

"Bang...... There was a loud bang, and the watchtower shook slightly, and the stones fell one after another. When the dust cleared, there was nothing in place, except for the broken and broken windows on the first and half floors of the watchtower, which were half closed, and the broken window frames creaked......
