Chapter 2: The Shadow of the Axe
"Bang", Babu was thrown away and fell to the ground hard.
But before he was thrown away, he had seen the changes in the shadows.
A red fog that seemed to be real seeped out of the other party's body, quickly enveloping its weird body, the dense fog emitted a very special sweet and greasy smell, the smell was not heavy, but the penetrating power was quite strong, and this strange smell could be smelled from more than ten meters away.
As the fog seeped out, his body also expanded rapidly, like a balloon that had been blown up, and even his clothes were torn. The exposed skin squirmed for a while, and sarcomas continued to bulge from under the skin, making it quickly become strange, and it could not be seen as human.
The inhumanoid body bent forward, and eight tentacles slammed out from behind it, dancing wildly in all directions, the speed of the ejection had already caused the tentacles to bring out the afterimage, and at the same time let out a scream that the air was torn apart.
It's too late for the crowd of onlookers to start guarding again, just turned around, the tentacles have already swept over, whether they bring weapons or not, whether they have combat effectiveness or not, everyone subconsciously dodges around, for a while, the cheerful atmosphere is gone, the screams in the tavern are connected, everyone is huddled together, desperately fleeing outside.
The tentacles ejected and waved, and someone was pierced through the chest by a shadow, and then he was carried into the air, flung around in the air like a rag, and before the person had time to die, the terrible screams were full of despair, and soon became weak. The other man was struck by the tentacles, and flew out like a cannonball, slamming into the wooden wall, the sound of the impact mixed with the crisp sound of bones shattering, and the man's legs twisted into an eerie angle, holding his legs and wailing.
"Bang", the moment he touched the ground, Babu was shocked, and he felt that the control of his body had finally returned, not only the body, but at the same time as he took back control, countless memory fragments poured into his brain, and he seemed to have seen the life of this body in an instant.
Babu, male, 22 years old, lives in Saul Township......
The Barb rolled on the spot and flashed into the corner under the cover of the two tables. Although I don't know what that thing is, it's terrible at first glance, it can penetrate the human body with just limbs, I'm afraid it's stronger than a bullet, just kidding, now there are dead and wounded, danger is in front of you, how can you still have time to study these irrelevant memories, where do you love to live and where you live, you can't hold it now, you don't have to live anywhere in the future, other issues don't matter now, let's save your life first.
It just so happened that the others thought the same way, and the door of the tavern was crowded together, and the wailing was all over the place, and there was no order. Fortunately, the monster seemed to have no consciousness, and did not chase after the crowd at the door, which made the group of people blocking the door escape, including even the old man who was singing, who was trembling and trembling at any time, and at this time ran faster than anyone else, and the screams were getting farther and farther, and they were soon inaudible.
The tavern quickly emptied, and dozens of people had gathered just now, and in the blink of an eye, there were only two people left. One of them was the one who broke his leg just now, it was one of the hostesses in the tavern, and more than ten seconds ago, it was full of brilliance, and the cheers were also the loudest, and after a while, both legs were broken, broken bones pierced the skin, blood kept coming out, and a long trail of blood was dragged on the ground.
The blood was dragged because someone was dragging her out, and it was the strong man who had beaten Babu before, who was lowering his body, dragging one of the hostess's arms, and carefully moving outside, and after walking a few steps, he turned back to look in the direction of the monster, lest the monster suddenly appear behind him.
It was actually a very painful position for the hostess, coupled with the pain of the short legs, but she put her arm in her mouth and bit it hard, her teeth were already deeply embedded in the flesh, and blood was gurgling out of the wound and down her teeth, and she just stopped screaming in this way, and she held on silently.
However, when the two were still a third of the way to the door, the monster that had been writhing in place finally regained its coordination and chased straight after the two, and the strong man immediately found that the monster was chasing after him, and after a little hesitation, he immediately let go of the hostess's arm, stood up and turned his head and ran.
The hostess's hand holding the corner of his clothes was thrown away by him, and he could only watch him bow his head to avoid his gaze, and escape out of the door without looking back, the figure of the strong man had not disappeared at the door, and the sound of tentacles wriggling on the ground had already sounded behind him.
"Puff, puff", the slippery and sticky squirming sound was getting closer and closer, the waitress stopped trying to crawl towards the door, and turned her head stiffly, and saw that the monster had crawled in front of her with both hands and feet, and on the ground behind her, a few long sticks of slime were dragged out, and several tentacles had been raised, and the thick tentacles filled her desperate sight.
Just when her heart had sunk to the bottom, and there was no hope in sight, a ghostly figure appeared behind the monster, in her field of vision.
The Báb is still there.
When he saw the strong man dragging the woman, he stopped fleeing, and never looked away after that, observing the situation.
The monster didn't crawl fast, but approached little by little, and just as the monster was about to attack its prey, in the shadow behind it, Babu suddenly appeared silently, and stabbed the monster in the back with both hands and fingers like knives.
One up and down, lumbar and cervical.
Since you use a human form as the main body, as long as you still rely on nerve conduction, these two places must be weaknesses.
Babu is clearly familiar with the anatomy of the human body, and his movements are fast and accurate, and he is unrelenting.
A strange energy was born from the depths of the soul, and in an instant, it traveled all over the body, and it was too late to understand what it was, so it could only rely on the instinct of the body to control the flow of this energy through the whole body, and under the strengthening of the energy, the speed and strength climbed wildly, and Babu's hands were faster, and with an indestructible momentum, he hit the target heavily.
However, it doesn't work.
Only to hit the target only to find that the monster's cervical and lumbar vertebrae had long been broken, and he can now use movements, not relying on nerve conduction at all, but other ways to control the muscles of the body.
The Báb didn't have time to think about it, the attack didn't work, he just dipped it and left, never stopping. The power of this thing has been shown to be obvious just now, and after a short pause, it is estimated that it is the third victim.
Sure enough, just as Babu retreated, a tentacle pierced through where he had just been, and he could even feel the wind brought by the tentacles, blowing his face hot, and with the dancing of the tentacles, a strange sweet and greasy smell came to his face, which made people almost sick.
As if attracted to attention, the monster abruptly turned to face Babu, leaving the waitress behind, but Babu found that it didn't seem to make much sense to turn around.
Because it can't see the positive and negative sides at all.
On the surface of the monster's body, a large number of sarcomas emerged, small ones larger than fists, and even larger than human heads, these sarcomas were densely packed, crawling all over the monster's body in layers. The surface of the sarcoma cracked, countless granulations wriggled in the cleft, and as the sarcoma retracted and shrank, the granulation also swayed, and the yellow-brown mucus seeped out from the root of the granula, dripping all over the ground.
Just a moment of turning around, the monster has changed from the human form of an elder's tentacles to a sarcoma man covered with sarcoma regardless of whether it is positive or negative, and the thought of poking this kind of thing just now, Babu's hands can't help but cramp, and his stomach hurts faintly.
However, this did not prevent him from drifting back gently, and several tentacles struck him in several places in turn like javelins, but by the time the tentacles arrived, he had already left the place. Babu found that this person's physical quality is amazing, obviously he is just an ordinary townsman, he has such a good physical fitness, and the basic ability of people in this world is so strong? Coupled with the blessing of that strange energy, Babu even felt that if combined with the combat instincts left behind when his memory was lost, his combat power would be multiplied enough, and maybe he could really save the hostess's life from the tentacles of the monster.
However, after several successive attempts, whether it was silent movement or concealment, the monster kept staring at him to death, and the means of confusing the senses of sight and hearing did not work. Babu tried in vain a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, but was soon chased behind by the monster again.
There was a "bang" sound, and the waitress who had survived watched as the monster was led around by Babu a few times, and after a moment of confusion, she smashed through the wall and fell into the corridor leading to the guest room, and before she could breathe, a hand slapped her shoulder from behind.
"Hmm", fortunately, the arm has not been taken out of the mouth, the exclamation blurted out was blocked back into the mouth, the waitress turned her head in horror, and saw the impression of the coward who was afraid to go out, Babu, who was in the dark, only one face was exposed to the candlelight, and an index finger was raised in front of his lips, making a silent gesture to her.
The hostess suddenly felt the urge to cry out loud, but fortunately she hadn't forgotten where she was, and she resisted the urge and nodded vigorously. Babu patted the waitress on the head, pointed to the next door, pointed to the hostess, and then pointed at himself, and made a movement with his fingers to go around the back, and finally, revealing his other hand, the big axe used to chop wood in the corner of the wall was somehow taken into his hand, and it was flashing slightly in the firelight.
The waitress's eyes were immediately filled with panic, but at last she nodded slightly, and Babu patted her head again, gave her a thumbs up, and then took a half-step back and re-entered the darkness, and the waitress could no longer feel his breath.
"Bang bang bang", sawdust flew in the hole, and the monster finally chased back after a few seconds, and strangely, maybe Babu really found some trick, this time the monster seemed to have lost his tracks, and the target turned to the hostess again.
The hostess slumped to the ground, her face full of pain as she watched the monster approach, but this time, there was no fear in her eyes, and the face that appeared in the shadows and the finger that stood on her lips suddenly swept away the timidity in her heart.
With a crackling pop, a sudden burst of fire cast the monster's shadow onto the opposite wall.
The shadow approached step by step, and the messy tentacles raised.
A shadow holding a large axe silently emerged from behind it.
The hand rises, the axe falls.
