Chapter 10: Escape
Wielding tentacles, swirling blades.
As soon as Monica rushed out of the hole in the wall, before she could see anything, dozens of tentacles had already rushed in front of her, and the tips of the tentacles still had sharp cuticles, and the fluorescence shimmered ominously.
There is no way forward, there is a pursuit behind, and if you take a step back, you will be pierced by ten thousand piercings.
Monica can only enter, no matter the cost.
The sound of stabbing behind Duoduoduo has begun to become sparse, and the basement opposite is gradually returning to calm, but the oncoming tentacle network has become the most direct and deadly threat.
The whip turned, the big trap and the small loop, forming several whip circles as a defense, Monica protected Babu in front of her chest, protected her whole body with source energy, and launched a fierce impact towards the tentacle net with her head and feet.
There was a cracking sound, and blood splashed.
The whip bullet opened most of the attacking tentacles, and the source of the protective body could make some of the tentacles slide aside against the body, but there were still a few tentacles that broke through the layers of defense, and the hard leather armor could not block the attack, two of which left two long wounds on Monica's back, and warm blood gushed out along the wounds, quickly staining the clothes on her back. The other one went directly through her right thigh, although fortunately it did not hurt the artery and did not cause heavy bleeding, but unfortunately the thigh was completely pierced, and the penetrating tentacle stopped in the body, making it difficult for Monica to move another half a step. And around her, the tentacles that had been opened turned in a circle in the air and turned back again.
But the Báb is still there.
Not only was Babu not accidentally suffocated, but he also responded in time, and he could not take care of the position that the whip could not take care of. The tentacles had just penetrated Monica's thigh, and before they could go any further, a small dagger had already been attached to its surface.
Cut it in two.
The severed tentacles were thrown around in the air, and the broken place was sprayed with disgusting slime, sprinkled on the two of them, and the smell was incomparable, but now there was no time to take care of the problem of whether it was evil or not, a group of Monica broke free of control, and the active and passive immediately swapped, Monica just fell crooked, and the princess picked her up with her backhand, ignoring the sound of the tentacles swishing in the air behind her, hugged her and hurried forward a few steps, letting go of the imminent threat.
"Ahhh ”
Of course, you have to go quickly, otherwise you don't have to go anymore, Babu didn't even think about it, and began to run for her life while holding Monica, although she didn't look back, she occasionally jumped left and right, and avoided the tentacles chasing after her in time.
"Don't hold me like this, get in your way, put me behind your back." Monica's wheezing words rang in his ears.
"You don't talk nonsense, you want to go to the back to block the arrows." Babu had no time to care about anything else, so he unceremoniously pushed back, "Give me an honest lying on my stomach." ”
"You don't talk nonsense, I haven't lost my combat effectiveness, I don't need you to protect me like this." Obviously she has shed so much blood, this woman is still so confident, and even more unkind than Babu, "I am behind you, and I can help you protect your surroundings and back, lest you jump around like a rabbit, you are willing to jump, I am still afraid of bumps." ”
The corners of Babu's mouth twitched, too lazy to argue with the vicious woman, and suddenly stopped at his feet, and spun around on one foot, not only letting go of a large cluster of tentacles stabbing at him, but also throwing Monica to his back with the force of the whirlwind. The action is done in one go, allowing the tentacles to move forward directly, without even any unnecessary pauses.
Sure enough, the whip came as promised, and the pressure behind him suddenly lessened, allowing Babu to face forward more intently.
This is another building that the two of them passed by just now, originally there were not too many tricks in this building, but at this time, for some reason, a large number of tricks swarmed, just like the tricks of the whole building were attracted over, fortunately, it should be far enough away from the relationship, and the Roshan Mountain with the greatest threat behind it has completely quieted down, leaving only these tricks crawling everywhere.
However, according to previous speculations, these monsters and the Roshan behind them are actually one, so it's no wonder that they will rush to the top, and even if only these large monsters are left, the threat is still so huge.
"Overhead."
Monica suddenly let out a rapid whisper, and at the same time the whip was raised, stabbing to the top of the head, but unfortunately at this time the two had fled to the basement to the corridor leading to the ground, the environment was too narrow, the long weapon could not be used, and the whip was still a step slower, so a strange meat ball the size of a domestic pig, waving a spider-like tentacle, smashed down with a head and face.
Think about the appetite when Roshan devoured it just now, once it is hit now, what will happen unimaginable, not to mention that there are tentacles behind it around it, and the space within a few meters of the vicinity is all blocked, and there is no way to escape.
Neither did the Báb flee.
Without raising his head, he waved his hand, and threw the iron drill that had been chiseled through the wall before, full of source energy, at the trickery in the air.
Although the long iron chisel is not sharp, it is full of power when it is infused with source energy, and when it is thrown out, it is like a speeding javelin, and it is deeply inserted into the center of the main body of the strange thing. Compared with the appearance of the back, the epidermis of the abdomen is too fragile, and it can't stop the iron chisel for half a second, and the falling trick was originally waving its tentacles up and down, and after being stabbed, it suddenly suffocated, and the iron chisel took it and climbed up slightly, and then the breach exploded directly into a big hole, and the mucus, pus, blood and pieces of minced flesh sprayed down like a rainstorm, and the main body that lost its internal substance quickly contracted and withered, and soon turned into fragments and disappeared.
The two people below were immediately poured on their faces, they were all sticky, they couldn't even open their eyes, and they felt quite refreshing. And there is a lot of minced meat in it, although there is no power in it, and it doesn't hurt to hit the head, but ...... Bang, I don't know what I hit this time, it hurts enough.
Babu's face was covered with slime, but he couldn't wipe it with both hands on Monica, at this time Monica seemed to have stuffed something into his pocket, and then a hand reached out from behind his back and wiped a few handfuls on Babu's face, helping him wipe off the slime that covered his vision, and looked back, Monica behind him...... Babu couldn't help it anymore and turned his head to laugh maniacally.
Monica no longer has the mature charm she used to have, and her lazy and casual temperament is gone, and at this time she is also covered with mucus and pus and blood, and she is extremely wet and embarrassed, but she also forcibly shows a smile, so that Babu can't control her laughter at all.
And so immediately the ears suffered.
The location is so suitable, Monica, who was angry with the laughter, grabbed the dangling ears in front of her quite easily, twisted!
"What's so funny, how good-looking you think you are, it's not just as disgusting, you still dare to laugh, nasty dead child." Twisting and twisting, he couldn't help himself, and he lay weakly on Babu's back and laughed.
With laughter, the two of them quickly ran out of the hallway back to the patio, and then through the dark passageway.
Along the way, the sound of whips is endless, and with Monica's shot, there is no need to take every step of the way as when she came in, and as soon as the whip turns, the small tricks in the vicinity are emptied, making the road unimpeded.
However, the more he ran back, the frequency of the whip behind his back became slower and slower, and finally stopped completely, and the hands and feet wrapped around Babu's body became softer and softer, Babu knew that Monica still lost too much blood, although it would not die on the spot, but a short period of weakness was inevitable, and this was still based on the premise that she would no longer hold on, if she continued to hold on......
"I didn't hold on, the dead kid wants to be beaten again." Monica lay on Babu's back softly, and didn't know if she was still conscious, she fumbled and slapped Babu's head casually twice, muttering in a confused voice, "I said it when I brought you in, as long as I live, I will keep you from having an accident, I will take you out, don't you want to leave me again......"
"Ahem," Babu was stunned, striding towards the small square where she came, and loudly interrupted Monica's nonsense to someone, "Haven't I had an accident yet?" ”
"It's too late if something happens, and you won't be obedient." I don't know what Monica remembered, half-asleep and half-awake bit on Babu's ear, the bite was not heavy, the problem was that he was now covered in fishy mucus, so of course, Monica bit her mouth all over it, disgusting and retching, but she completely woke up.
While she was retching, Babu had already returned to the small square where she entered, and the small tricks that she carefully dealt with when she came in were no longer a threat after the tempering just now, no wonder Monica dared to say that Babu was fine, if it wasn't for the unexplained accident in the end, there was really nothing to do with the two of them with these small tricks.
"It should be around here." Monica obviously didn't remember what she had just said, and now she was lying on Babu's back as usual, pointing to an area of the small square and whispering, "You should be able to sense it too, the exit is around, you can easily step on the exit and leave if you walk back and forth a few more times." ”
The Báb nodded, but did not answer, his gaze falling on nothing.
At least Monica doesn't seem to have anything.
In Babu's eyes, there is a light curtain that is very close to when he came, the only difference is that the light curtain when he came has been extending to both sides, as if it encloses the whole town in the middle, and the current light curtain is only more than a meter wide, and the range is very small, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will miss it.
Tightening Monica's back, Babu didn't make a few more attempts, but walked straight to the light curtain with Monica's surprised expression, and didn't hide anything at all. And Monica's body behind her stiffened, then softened again, the surprise on her face slowly turned into a smile, and then her arms around Babu's neck tightened, and her chin was gently rested on the shoulder in front of her, without asking a word.
Then, the heavens and the earth changed.
The Báb found that he had once again returned to the wilderness outside the town, but it was no longer the place where he had left, and he did not know exactly where.
The sky was already dark, and as far as the eye could see, you could see the stone pillars like boundary monuments appearing at the end of the field of vision, which was the direction of the town.
Babu didn't rush to ask anything more, nor did he rush back to town, but put Monica down from behind, squeezed her injured thigh hard, and ran all the way away, never having a chance to bandage it, and now finally had a chance to treat the wound temporarily.
Monica remained silent, tilting her head to watch Babu's movements, looking rather odd, as if she didn't like the feeling of being taken care of. It wasn't until Babu picked her up again that he smiled and relaxed again. So, facing the slowly rising sun, the two figures close together went farther and farther away.
