Chapter 13: The Cocoon
Now, they finally saw smoke rising from the station in the distance, which must indicate that one of the teams had something to gain, or even a possible way to escape from here, how could they not be excited?
"Let's go, go back quickly-" Fang Zhirong waved his arms excitedly, and everyone jumped up one after another, becoming vibrant.
Wu Wenxu also smiled, just now he had been sitting on the corpse of a stone-clawed beast, and now he was busy standing up, and said: "Do you just go back like this, or take the corpses of these stone-clawed beasts with you......"
As soon as he said this, his mouth suddenly opened wide, and the original excitement on his face suddenly turned into shock.
Just when everyone suddenly saw smoke rising in the distance, they stood up inexplicably and were about to return to the location of the station, when a hundred meters away from everyone, suddenly several gray shadows shook in the distance.
The shadows were fast, and everyone quickly noticed what they were.
Stoneclaw, stoneclaw.
This time, there were five stoneclawed beasts, swaying towards them from afar, and there was also a stoneclaw among them, which was obviously more than one size bigger than all the stoneclaw beasts they had encountered before.
It was a stoneclawed beast walking in the middle, its body appearing thicker, a head taller than the other four stoneclaws around it.
What's even more amazing is that it has a huge belly, which bulges high and bulges like something is hidden inside, dragging it on the ground, which makes it full of a strange and evil horror that other stoneclaw beasts do not have, which makes people daunting from afar.
"Ahh
"Don't run away-" Sun Yaojie still wanted to stabilize everyone, but found that it was useless.
First, the ferocity of the four stone-clawed beasts before came to frighten everyone, secondly, this time there were five at once, and one of them looked particularly vicious, and thirdly, smoke rose from the distant station, maybe the others had already found a way to rescue people or survive, and for them who had already raised hope, no one wanted to leave their lives here.
So the crowd began to flee, and they had only one thought, to flee towards the place where the smoke rose in the distance, they might not be able to escape the stoneclaw, but they could only escape faster than the others.
Let those who are slow to escape feed the stoneclaw, as long as they can survive.
What happened at this moment made Sun Yaojie stunned, not only those who had always behaved more timid, but even Pan Sixi, the man in the leather jacket and Shi Qian, who had been quite brave before, and even Fang Zhirong began to be unwilling and rushed into the distance.
"Run!" Lin Xiao's low sigh came from his ears, and Sun Yaojie realized that everyone was already in chaos, even if there were still a few people in the crowd who wanted to fight with the stone-clawed beast, it was not time, and they couldn't turn the tide, and now their only choice was to flee with everyone.
Two seriously injured people, one of them is dead, the other, still has the last breath left, but everyone fled in a swarm, and no one paid attention to him, who wanted to take him with him, and the final result was to throw his life here.
Lin Xiao took a deep look at Shi Lei's corpse on the ground and the person who still had a breath left, sighed secretly, his heart was full of helplessness, he also wanted to stay and deal with these stone-clawed beasts with everyone, although there were as many as five stone-clawed beasts, but there were still twenty-nine people who could move now, and twenty-nine people were really determined to fight hard, and they would definitely be able to kill these five stone-clawed beasts.
Unfortunately, not everyone thinks the same way as him.
The stone-clawed beasts in the distance saw the crowd fleeing, and immediately scattered, like arrows shooting at each other.
Except for the huge stone-clawed beast with a big belly in the middle, which was still swaying and walking unhurriedly, the speed of the other four stone-clawed beasts was raised, and they sprinted with all their might, and their running speed was obviously much faster than everyone else.
Lin Xiao followed everyone and fled as he observed, and when he saw the speed at which these stone-clawed beasts were flying towards him, he understood that none of them could escape.
"If you can't run away, if you go on like this, we're all going to die-",
Lin Xiao let out a loud shout, but unfortunately, no one listened to him, and he just fled desperately into the distance.
Immediately after, a stone-clawed beast stabbed after it and pounced.
"Ah" screamed, a person who was desperately trying to escape, was immediately knocked down by it, for the stoneclaw, the person who desperately escaped was equivalent to the defenseless prey without the slightest ability to resist, easily pounced on one, a bloody mouth, bitten its throat, and then pounced on another person, the stoneclaw probed, grabbed into its body, and then dissected it all the way.
Almost instantly, three people died.
"Don't run, let's join forces to kill these stone-clawed beasts, we still have hope-" Lin Xiao screamed again as he chased these people.
On his own, he didn't do anything, only everyone together was possible, but unfortunately, except for panic and escape, no one listened to him.
The screams were followed by several people being knocked down, and in just a snap of the fingers, seven people were killed on the spot, one person was severely injured, and those who could still run became only twenty-one people left in the blink of an eye.
"Desperately, or we'll all die-" Lin Xiao roared frantically, this time, he finally stopped, turned around and smashed desperately towards the stone-clawed beast that wanted to pounce on Pan Sixi not far away.
"Don't run, desperately-" Sun Yaojie also screamed, he also saw it, if this continues, none of them will be able to escape, they will all die here, and wait for a few more deaths, I am afraid that even if everyone wakes up and fights hard, I am afraid that they are no longer the opponents of these five stone-clawed beasts.
Lin Xiao smashed the stone-clawed beast with a stick, he was the first to stop, he could see that even if he continued to run away with everyone, he would not be able to live, in this case, it was better to stop and fight hard, anyway, in the end, it was just a death.
Lin Xiao's roar and the smashing of this stick, "bang", hit the back of the stone-clawed beast, and hit the stone-clawed beast's body for a shake, but failed to pounce on Pan Sixi.
Seeing that Lin Xiao saved his life, Pan Sixi was stunned for a moment, and then followed, he also stopped, turned around and lifted the short knife, rushed towards the stone-clawed beast, and shouted in his mouth: "Desperate, we can't outrun these stone-clawed beasts, we can only desperately-"
The hat he wore on his head flew out of the air because of his movements, revealing the thin hair on his head, but he didn't care so much anymore, and pounced frantically at the stoneclaw.
Lin Xiao stopped, Pan Sixi stopped, Sun Yaojie stopped, Fang Zhirong, who had just run a few steps, watched them stop, and stopped unconsciously, and then Fang Xinyi, one after another, like a chain reaction.
"Ahh
After several screams, two more people were thrown to the ground by the stoneclaw, but almost at the same moment, most of the people stopped, and then fought back against the four stoneclaw.
Everyone has understood that in terms of running speed, they are far inferior to these stone-clawed beasts, and if they blindly run away, they will all die under the teeth and claws of these stone-clawed beasts, and their only hope is to stop and join forces to fight the stone-clawed beasts.
Most of them stopped and intercepted the four stone-clawed beasts, and the largest stone-clawed beast with a round belly, unhurried, was still far away eighty or ninety meters away, and a few others rushed out more than ten meters, in this case, the stone-clawed beasts were dragged by the others, and if they continued to run, they had a good chance of escaping.
However, after escaping more than ten or twenty meters, listening to the screams and roars from behind, for some reason, they also stopped one after another.
They were the most timid of all the people, but listening to Lin Xiao, Sun Yaojie and others roaring one after another, for some reason they felt that the blood flow in their bodies had accelerated, and a feeling of blood as if they were about to boil came to their hearts, and their faces turned red all of a sudden.
One of them stopped abruptly and hissed, "Fuck, I'm going to die, I'm not a bad seed who is afraid of death-"
His face was full of hideousness, his face was distorted, and he screamed and turned around and rushed back.
Immediately after, the second stopped, the third, the fourth, the fifth......
"Lao Tzu has never wanted to be a hero since he was born, but I'm a fucking man, you brutes, you don't let Lao Tzu live, Lao Tzu will fight with you, you brutes-",
Screaming and howling, he grabbed the short knife in his hand, turned and rushed back as if he were desperate, and after eight or nine casualties, the remaining twenty people finally stopped and united together.
At this moment, everyone's thoughts became the same, no one flinched and ran away, and they all rushed forward like desperate.
When he was no longer afraid, the sharp short knife in his hand showed an overwhelming advantage.
The Sven man in a suit, his name is Qin Shan, he is a high school Chinese teacher, he is usually Sven, and he speaks softly, but at this moment, he didn't expect that he would be crazy to such a point.
When the stone-clawed beast had already bitten him on the back of the neck from behind, when he knew that he was about to die, he didn't even feel the fear and fear, but instead hugged the stone-clawed beast desperately with one hand, and a face that was originally Sven showed madness.
This desperate hug before death hugged the stone-clawed beast so that it could not get out, and the others immediately rushed up, and the short knife in their hands frantically pierced the stone-clawed beast's body.
Lin Xiao also gave up the thick wooden stick in his hand, although this thick wooden stick is easy to use in normal times, but once everyone rushes up, this wooden stick is too long to react, and its sharpened part, because it has been inserted into the body of the stone-clawed beast twice before, has become no longer sharp, and it is already very difficult to pierce the soft flesh under the belly of the stone-clawed beast again.
So he made a quick decision, discarding the thick wooden stick and replacing it with a short knife.
A knife stabbed into the vital point of the stone-clawed beast that was held by the man in the suit Qin Shan, seeing that the stone-clawed beast was about to die with rolling its eyes, Lin Xiao understood that this was the man in the suit who exchanged his life for it.
Seeing that this stone-clawed beast was killed, Qin Shan, the man in the suit, slowly let go of his hand, he knew that he was about to die, and he even smiled toothily before he died, and then slowly wanted to straighten out his hair, and muttered in his mouth: "The hairstyle is messed up...... That's not Sven...... I am...... Teacher...... There should be old ...... What does the division look like...... ...... Wen...... Heh......"
One hand touched his hair, trying to straighten the messy hairstyle again, but the hand on his hair couldn't move anymore, and his whole body fell down.
He died, and there was no more chance to straighten out his messy hair.
This is real madness, everyone is really desperate, to everyone's surprise, when everyone is desperate, the casualties are unimaginably small.
In addition to the large number of casualties caused by the escape, when the rest of the people united and rushed up together, when they killed all four stoneclawed beasts, they only paid the price of three dead and two injured.
In terms of the number of deaths, there is one less than the four stoneclaw beasts that died.
And when they killed all four stoneclawed beasts, the giant stoneclawed beast, which was one size bigger and a head taller than the other stoneclawed beasts, finally came to everyone with its bulging belly.
The giant stoneclaw was weird, and when it saw its companion killed, it wasn't angry, surprised, or frightened, but just shook its body unhurriedly.
After killing the four stoneclawed beasts, there were still fifteen people who could stand up, but this giant stoneclawed beast still walked in front of everyone without thinking about it, and it seemed that the feat of killing the four stoneclawed beasts together just now did not intimidate it.
Lin Xiao looked at the eyes of this giant stone-clawed beast, and he suddenly understood, this is self-confidence.
The only reason why this giant stoneclaw was so laid-back was that it didn't take them seriously.
Could it be that this stone-clawed beast is particularly powerful?
When Lin Xiao thought of this, this giant stone-clawed beast suddenly shrank and slammed out.
It finally attacked.
Although it was unhurried when it came over, once it launched an attack, Lin Xiao noticed that its speed was even faster than that of other ordinary stone-clawed beasts.
Compared with its swaying and slow appearance before, Lin Xiao finally understood what it meant to be quiet and moving like a rabbit.
With a miserable scream, Lin Xiao, Fang Xinyi, Sun Yaojie and others had not yet reacted, and among the crowd, a man who was holding a short knife and had a murderous face was pounced on by this giant stone-clawed beast, and with a loud "horn" of blood, he actually bit off this person's neck. ,
The others gasped.
Although the other stoneclaws have an amazing bite force and can easily bite open a human's throat, they have never completely bitten off a person's neck in a single bite like this, causing the head to move.
"Ahh
This terrible scene shocked many people, and the desperate courage that originally surged up quickly dissipated most of it, and the giant stone-clawed beast bit off the man's neck, and then pushed its claws to the ground, and with the giant tail behind, the whole huge body crashed out.
Fang Xinyi snorted, she had always thought that she was the strongest among everyone, but now she couldn't dodge, she was hit by this giant stone-clawed beast, opened her mouth and spewed out a stream of blood arrows, and the whole person rolled and fell out like a kite with a broken string.
However, this giant stone-clawed beast took advantage of the momentum to stretch its body, and as soon as its claws probed, it plunged into the chest of another person, and went all the way down, almost cutting this body apart.
In an instant, two people died and one was seriously injured, and the rest were horrified.
"Damn-" Fang Zhirong shouted angrily, this fat man who had always been timid, at this moment, he actually rushed forward bravely, of course, this was all because the giant stone-clawed beast had just knocked Fang Xinyi out of the air, making Fang Xinyi's life and death unknown, so Fang Zhirong was angry.
Lin Xiao, Sun Yaojie, the man in the leather jacket, Wu Wenxu, Shi Qian, Pan Sixi and others all poured up.
After the battle just now, they have all understood that if they don't work hard, they can only have a chance of life if they die faster and work hard.
Although this monster is far more terrifying than the average stone-clawed beast, it is not without a chance that so many of them join forces.
There were only twelve people left who could still move, and they all poured in at this moment.
The giant stoneclaw had just sliced open a man's chest all the way down with one claw, and was stabbed in the back with a short knife.
This is Shi Qian's sneak attack, but the reaction of this giant stone-clawed beast is also more terrifying than that of ordinary stone-clawed beasts, the short knife in Shi Qian's hand has just pierced its skin, it has already reacted, and the giant tail is pumped out.
Shi Qian screamed and was swept by her tail, but when she fell out, she actually abandoned the short knife and grabbed her tail tightly with both hands.
She is a retired weightlifter, and at this moment, her terrifying strength is finally revealed.
Shi Qian also completely fought for her life, grabbed the tail with both hands, opened her mouth wide, the muscles on her face were shaking, she let out a howl, dragging this giant tail, and actually pulled the giant stone-clawed beast of several hundred catties to the ground and fell to the ground.
Several other people pounced together in an instant, how could they miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
"Ahh
Its stone claws were as sharp as knives, and they forcibly cut off half of the long-haired youth's head, and blood flowed out mixed with brains.
The long-haired young man's eyes widened, and after letting out a scream, he fell silently and died instantly.
The people who could still move became eleven people.
Wu Wenxu pounced up, and pressed the other forelimb of this stone-clawed beast with both hands, and when he wanted to unite everyone to suppress this monster, as long as he suppressed it, and then solved it, it would be easy to deal with it.
But no one expected that the monster let out a roar, and the whole body suddenly flipped again, and the force that erupted was amazingly large.
Wu Wenxu screamed and was thrown away, his right arm was immediately dislocated, and Shi Qian, who was holding its tail tightly, was retracted by him and pulled Shi Qian over.
Shi Qian was pulled by it and stood unsteadily, and suddenly fell on the monster, and the monster grabbed Shi Qian's chest with a wave of its claws.
"Uh-" Shi Qian's eyes widened suddenly, and the muscles on her face the size of a basin instantly contracted together, followed by an earth-shattering scream.
Lin Xiao and the others trembled, Shi Qian went all the way down from her chest to the skin and flesh of her lower abdomen, and she was completely opened by this monster, and many people couldn't bear to witness that terrible and terrifying scene.
Shi Qian was like crazy, the whole skin and flesh of her chest were torn off, but she burst out of her life, and her hands grabbed the claws of the monster that had probed into her body, and she didn't relax no matter what. ,
She knew that she was dead, but before she died, she also thought that she must drag this monster with her, and she would let it bury her.
Lin Xiao didn't say a word, holding a ruler-long short knife in both hands, and inserted it into the belly of this monster whole, trying all his strength, desperately cutting back, at this moment, he didn't care whether he would be attacked by this monster on the verge of death, in this chaotic and desperate fight, the only thing he could think of was to kill this monster, and the rest, there was no extra energy to think or be afraid.
Lin Xiao desperately dragged the short knife down, trying to cut open the entire belly of this monster, this monster was in severe pain, the whole body was arched, opened its bloody mouth, and let out an earth-shattering scream, one claw was held by Shi Qian and couldn't pull it back, and the other claw desperately grabbed at Lin Xiao.
It also knew that the Tao was not good, and under the severe pain, it also tried its best.
Roaring wildly, Lin Xiao was roaring, wanting to completely dissect this monster, the monster's entire body arched in reverse, and its claws probed, and instantly grabbed Lin Xiao's chest.
Lin Xiao felt a sharp pain in his chest, followed by it, his chest cavity seemed to be pressed by a force, he couldn't breathe, he watched this monster's claws grab into his chest, break the muscles, and see that he was about to end up like Shi Qian, the entire chest was about to be dissected, and then died tragically here.
When he saw that he was about to die, Lin Xiao's mind was empty and he didn't think of anything, and there were no people written in books when he was dying, and the experiences of this life appeared as quickly as the lens of a movie, all of which Lin Xiao didn't feel, the only thing he wanted was to completely dissect the belly of this monster and kill this monster.
That was his only thought.
With a "snort", the man in the leather jacket grabbed the short knife in his hand with both hands, and slashed it down, this time he tried all his strength, the sharpness of the Damascus knife, even the ordinary ordinary sword can be cut, under the full strength of the man in the leather jacket, this knife was cut on the claws stretched out by the giant stone-clawed beast.
Seeing that this claw was about to completely grasp Lin Xiao's chest, and then broke his chest open, but he suddenly lost his strength and turned into a half-section, and his claw had been cut off by the man in the leather jacket.
"You saved my life, and now I'll pay you back. The man in the leather jacket, after cutting off the claws of the giant stone-clawed beast, took advantage of the situation and stabbed heavily on the body of this monster, and at the same time tilted his head slightly, and said lightly to Lin Xiao.
The broken claw that pierced Lin Xiao's chest fell, although it did not completely grab Lin Xiao's chest, but the flesh and blood on the chest were blurred, and the injury was not light.
Lin Xiao fell backwards at the same time, and the short knife that he grasped with both hands completely cut open the belly of the giant stone-clawed beast.
As he cut open its belly, he had no idea that what came out of the belly of the giant stoneclaw beast was not only its internal organs and intestines, but also a giant cocooned and egg-like strange round egg.
What's going on? Could it be that this stoneclaw is a female? pregnant?
Lin Xiao's whole body strength was exhausted with the short knife cut down, and he fell back and sat down, and the giant stone-clawed beast also let out the most desperate roar, and planted it diagonally, half of its body just pressed Lin Xiao, and the cocoon-like egg-like giant egg that gushed out of the belly of the giant stone-clawed beast that was cut open happened to fall on Lin Xiao's bloody chest.
The blood flowing out of Lin Xiao's body was suddenly stained with this giant cocoon, and immediately after, he was shocked to find that there was something on this bloody chest that seemed to be frantically absorbing the blood in his body, and this feeling was extremely clear.
"What's going on?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but change color and screamed, desperately pushing away the giant stone-clawed beast that was holding him down.
Although this giant stone-clawed beast was extremely vicious, it was hit hard, and even its entire belly was dissected by Lin Xiao, and finally died.
Lin Xiao pushed the monster's corpse and stepped back again and again, only to find that the giant cocoon was actually adsorbed on his injured and bloody chest, and then frantically absorbed the blood in his body, and soon, the giant cocoon turned blood red.
