Chapter 1877 - Demon Leeches (2/2)
—
Mo Fan had no idea what Liu Xi had spotted, nor did he know why the teenager was acting so afraid. However, he immediately felt his scalp turning numb when he and Shen Qing were above the shopping lot!
Mo Fan considered himself a rather experienced Mage, yet he had never seen something that he could only describe as that disgusting until now.
Liu Xi did not describe the creatures accurately. Instead of describing the creatures as earthworms, they were more like leeches, a black bloodsucking and soft-bodied creature that looked somewhat like a cocoon. They were usually found in fields, ponds, and lakes. They would attach themselves onto an animal’s skin to drink their blood!
It was rare to see these creatures in the ocean, but the leeches before them were surprisingly big, around half a meter to a meter long. They moved rather quickly, too. They could curl up their bodies and hop over six meters, allowing them to pounce on their targets!
The leeches in fields would usually attach themselves to the blind spots of buffaloes. The buffaloes would not be able to see or reach the cunning leeches. However, these leeches who came from the ocean were obviously capable of hunting down their prey on their own!
Mo Fan and Shen Qing reached the first floor. The floor was fully submerged. Many demon leeches were crawling along the walls and stairs toward the second floor where many civilians were. Screams were filling the shopping lot when they arrived. A few dozen demon leeches had pounced on a few people in the corridors. Their bodies were throbbing continuously as they were sucking a huge amount of blood from the victims!
The creatures could easily turn their bodies into suction pads as required. The teeth along their abdomens could tightly grab onto a human’s skin, making it difficult to separate them from their victims. Therefore, anyone who had fallen victim to the demon leeches had no chance of breaking free until their blood was sucked dry.
The people were fleeing to the third floor in a panic. The demon leeches were totally unrestrained. They would curl their bodies as they launched their attacks. Some could even hop up to ten meters away. Ordinary people would struggle to dodge their attacks!
“These filthy creatures!” Shen Qing was enraged by the sight. She punctured the demon leeches who were assaulting the civilians with the Glacier Zipline!
The strange thing was, these soft-bodied creatures did not die even when their bodies were punctured. Their blood would pour out from the hole into a pool, yet they would soon reabsorb the blood and start wriggling like nothing had even happened.
“Lingling, what the hell are these things?” Mo Fan was dumbfounded.
“I have never seen anything like them before. Let’s move the civilians to the third floor for now,” Lingling advised him.
There were great numbers of the demon leeches. A lot of them were scattered in Mo Fan’s blind spots, as they could climb wherever they pleased. They were on the walls, ceilings, cracks, stairs, and ventilation ducts…
Mo Fan used his Telekinesis to toss the civilians who had lost their way to the third floor. The shopping lot was a little too big, around three hundred meters from one end to the other. Mo Fan could not afford to use his destructive spells, since that might raze the whole building to the ground!
Mo fan saving civilians was like a huge bloke trying to do needlework. He could not afford to use his brute strength. Things like chopping firewood and killing boars were more suitable for him.
“Telekinesis, Knock Back!”
Mo Fan was constantly monitoring his surroundings. He immediately locked his will onto the demon leeches when they were about to pounce on the civilians.
The demon leeches were not very powerful, yet they were not easy to deal with either. Normally, Mo Fan’s Telekinesis would smash a creature of their level into pieces, yet because of their yielding nature, he felt like he was hitting a rubber ball instead. The force would only alter the creatures’ shape instead of smashing them to pieces!
