Chapter 27 (1/2)
After a few steps, arrow finally came to the bloody bug area where he had to retreat immediately last time.
In this dark cave with almost no light, the feeling other than vision seems to have been strengthened!
Although it is very weak, as long as you hold your breath and listen carefully, you can easily hear a slight sound of biological wriggling on the surrounding walls and ceiling.
Shasha - Shasha——
Slight but frequent.
The fishy smell naturally impacts people's sense of smell like the tide. Every step of walking in the darkness seemed like a torture, hitting ello's nose and ears.
Brad groped ahead and moved slowly.
Arrow put his hand on the shoulder of the dead soldier and moved step by step.
As long as you reach out and touch the wall next to you... You should be able to touch those soft and smelly things
Just when ello thought so, a soft thing had been scratched by his feet!
This touch made his hair stand up all at once!
But this feeling is not single. With more and more depth, the soft touch at your feet becomes more and more!
Although these little things have no intention to attack themselves, the feeling of being submerged by sticky meat is really getting worse and worse.
Just when ello thought he was about to lose his support, Brad in front suddenly stopped, together with the whole team.
Arrow tried to poke his head out and saw a fire red light shining at the end of the darkness ahead?
This light is just like some kind of guidance, wandering in the air, so that people can't judge how far it is from themselves. But obviously, this light has a power——
A power to move all the wriggling creatures at their feet towards the light.
”President?”
The creeping movement at his feet quickly disappeared, and Brad in front made a voice asking for countermeasures.
Arrow stared warily at the shining red light, suddenly! A strong smell of excrement and urine came from the fire!
”Watch out! Raise the torch! ”
Just as stimulated by arrow's voice, the fiery red light quickly approached the team! At the moment of about ten steps in front of Brad, a fire suddenly turned into two! At the same time, the torch in cocoa's hand was raised!
Bang -!
A huge claw hit Brad's shield heavily, and another claw full of the smell of excrement and urine crossed Brad's armor mercilessly. Arrow saw with his own eyes that the strong shrem skin was torn under this claw, like a piece of paper!
”Defense! Don't stand back! ”
With the command of ello, Brad in front of him clenched his teeth and insisted on moving forward with his shield. The claw that tore shrem's armor quickly retreated and stopped about five meters in front of the crowd.
At this time, the torches of the whole team were finally raised. Under the light of the five torches, a red thing appeared in front of them.
It has no skin. Its whole body is full of exposed muscles. The whole shape is like the upper body of human beings. Two strong claws support the ground. It seems to be the ”foot” of action, which is very eye-catching.
But the lower part of the stomach stopped completely. There was only one thing like a spine extending from the lower part of the stomach, with some flesh and blood, supporting the rear of the whole body, like a tail.
This thing has no head. In the middle of the two arms, the elder has a mouth full of teeth. Above the mouth, there are two luminous organs emitting red light. I don't know whether it is eyes or not.
Generally speaking, it feels like a human being who has been skinned, torn in half from his waist and bitten off his head.
”What the hell is this?”
Coco muttered in a low voice.
Arrow looked at the strong smell of excrement and urine on the monster's claws and the open and close mouth with blood. Now he finally knows who is hunting those bloody insects.
”Defensive formation.”
With Merlin's order, the big shield soldier immediately took off the shield and took the lead. His abundant combat experience and good equipment made him not worry about the strange monster in front of him. With the protection of the front row soldiers, the archers behind have raised their bows and arrows and are ready to receive the initial results of this adventure.
The monster did not move, but still stood five meters in front of the crowd with his mouth open, neither attacking nor retreating. The archer hummed after aiming, and the arrow dropped off the string and stabbed into the monster's muscular shoulder like a nail.
”Squeak --!”
The monster made a strange cry and raised a claw to pull out the arrow on his shoulder. This action made the archer even more proud. He took the arrow again and aimed at a luminous organ of the monster.
”No! It hasn't moved. It's deliberately attracting our attention! ”
Arrow shouted out with his fastest speed.
But he was convinced that the archer could no longer hear himself.
