Volume I: Chapter 50: Nursery Rhymes
The tricky things were just beginning, and as the monster recited the nursery rhymes that the town often heard, small shoots sprouted from the bulges of the ground, and both Cesare and Anya couldn't help but wonder what this was all about.
The strange thing is that the young shoots of the plant began to grow wildly, and the growth that would have taken months to grow evolved in just a few seconds.
Countless young shoots have become tall and strong under the witness of the naked eye, and gradually turned into seedlings and began to bloom branches and leaves, and the so-called "leaves" are actually human hands with open five fingers.
Anya's slightly open mouth seemed to want to express the shock at this moment, but she didn't know how to express what she saw in front of her, and this change was far from over.
The two of them were already surrounded by a "garden", and the two gave their backs to each other to avoid an unexpected attack.
The "plants" continued to grow, and they soon became waist-high above Cesare, and at the final stage, the plants intertwined with each other's veins to form a barrier that trapped Cesare and Anya in it.
Large flower bones grew from their tops, and at the same time they began to bloom at the same time. The plump buds gradually unfurl their petals, revealing the inside...... A grinning face.
Cesare was not sure if he had woken up for a moment, as if he were in an illusory nightmare.
The slender branches of those plants swayed in the wind, but at the top bloomed living human heads, men, women, old and young, all grinning strangely.
The so-called "garden" is such a blasphemous and distorted picture, and there are more mycelium under the roots of these "plants", which is also the same black magic as creating monsters.
At this moment, the two of them were in the "flowers" of human head flowers, and the roots of those plants wriggled on the surface, arching the soil as if they were approaching the two at a slow speed.
"Cesare, be careful, these seem... Not quite like an ordinary flower, have you ever seen it? "The heads weren't just weird-looking, they were waxy, their eyes festering, their fangs full, and their slender necks writhing and floating in mid-air with the stems of plants as their slender necks.
"How could I have seen it? The Bible has never written that there is such a thing in the world......"
When the silver bell on the monster's body rang again, the human head flowers seemed to have received the order to start the dinner party, and at the same moment opened their bloody mouths and pounced on the fresh flesh and blood of the two children.
Immediately afterward, Anya and Blade and Cesare's magic fluttered through the small "flowers", and the terrifying creatures were constantly cut off and withered, and the black slime flooded the boots.
But more "plants" are also pouring out of the surface with the death of their kind, and for a while, the wails of monsters and the laughter of the monsters are mixed together, and it is difficult to fight a bloody way even if they are desperate.
The physical strength was constantly being consumed, and more human head flowers were growing out eager to be watered with blood, and their attacks were one after another, without giving people room to breathe.
The endless stream of enemies is enough to make people desperate, and the entire "flower bush" is like a deadly crushing factory, and any negligence will cause the fangs of those human heads to be torn to shreds in an instant.
Cesare's scythe-wielding arm began to go numb and become heavy, and his moves slowed down.
And unfavorable things continue to happen, they grow more and more gradually becoming obscured, and the light of the oil lamps can no longer illuminate the barriers they form between them.
The stars in the sky were obscured by their thick branches, and the vision in front of them became darker and darker, and it was gradually impossible to see the trajectory of the human attack.
In a moment's moment, Cesare felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, and a blind spot in the field of vision of a human head flower burst out and bit Cesare on the shoulder, and the fangs pierced the cloak and released the boy's blood.
It stared at the rhizome with a fierce eye, widening the wound and longing to bite down on a piece of flesh. Cesare was forced by the severe pain to close his eyes, and his body was unconsciously pressed down, completely losing the ability to resist.
At the critical moment, Anya stabbed the head of the human head with a sword, and picked the corpse aside.
"Are you alright?" Asking with concern, Anya swung her sword to resist attacks from all directions.
Cesare reached for his injured shoulder, which had been bitten through several horrific holes in blood, and half of Cesare's body was stained scarlet with massive bleeding.
When he tried to stand up and continue to fight for Anya, his head was dizzy, and he couldn't open his eyes in pain as if he had a high fever. "I'm not sure ......"
In the gradually blurred vision, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the tight flower barrier, and a pair of rough and wide arms pulled the branches of those human head flowers from the outside, and forcibly broke a path that could barely allow them to get out.
Both of the children, who were already in disarray, saw hope at this moment and looked to the only exit that could escape.
"Lawson!?" Anya screamed excitedly, and a silly face appeared in front of her. The stupid Rosen was obviously abandoned by the regimental commander to appear here.
He tried his best to save Cesare and Anya from tearing the plants apart, his eyes closed, his face flushed, and his snot flowing. "I... If you can't hold it anymore, come out. ”
Without much thought, Cesare transferred the hyphae attached to the bone staff to his shoulder, plugging the wound and temporarily stopping the bleeding. Gritting his teeth to overcome the unexplained dizziness, he dragged Anya and fled towards the only gap.
The plants weren't going to let them go, and were smart enough to recognize what the problem was. Countless heads were biting at the stupid man's body with their mouths full of fangs, and in a matter of moments the funny dress was torn to shreds, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
The stupid big Rosen's muscles were being torn and eaten by the monsters, and the stupid man screamed in desolation, but his arms were pulling at the branches even if the bones were exposed, opening the way for Cesare and Anya.
Soon, the two escaped from the "garden", and Anya shouted at the stupid man. "You can let go of Rosen, and we'll get out of here in a carriage together."
Looking at the stupid man with flesh and blood being gnawed all over her body, Anya was just pretending to be strong, her eyes were red and overflowing with tears, even if the other party was just a fool with a deformed brain.
In fact, he has always been the most simple-hearted person, and it is distressing to see that he was bitten like this in order to save them.
But Cesare knew that he could no longer survive being bitten by the monster, and it was not that the stupid man did not want to let go, but that the branches of the human head flower had grown along his arm that had been eaten until there were only white bones, and he was firmly entangled, and slowly, he was being pulled into the flowers.
The stupid man turned around and laughed at the two of them.
"No more, lost, friend."
