C33 (1/2)

It happened so fast that we didn't even have time to react. We didn't even see what had happened to the shop assistant.

”Save me!”

The legs below the man's waist were completely gone. He was lying on the ground, covered in blood, and his desperate face was shouting at us.

”Hold my hand tight!”

I roared, I anxiously tried to pull the servant away, but Zhu Yingqiong pushed me away and anxiously said: ”Run quickly, otherwise you will lose your life!”

Before I could react, a hole suddenly appeared under the worker's soil. After that, a greyish thing drilled out from the soil, wrapped around the worker's body, and dragged him into the hole.

This time, I didn't even scream. I only saw blood spurting out of the soil and staining the surrounding ground red. But at the same time, the ground I was standing on started to roll up, just like in the movie.

My entire body trembled. I knew that it was definitely the monster that had ambushed the shop assistant that was charging towards me. I immediately leaped over a meter away and madly ran with my legs. I shouted, ”There's something underground! Run!”

Even without me shouting, everyone had seen the situation and immediately ran for their lives. Under the soil, more and more monsters gathered and surrounded us from all directions. It seemed that there was more than one monster underground.

Kacha!

The monk turned around and kneeled on the ground. He fired a shot and the bullet landed on the soil, but it did no good. His expression changed as he rolled away from the spot where he was standing and landed on the ground.

”Fourth Master, you can't run away, quickly get on the rocks!”

The monk shouted urgently, and with a leap, he jumped onto a huge boulder that was half a meter tall. Just as a shop assistant behind him jumped into the air, I saw a hole appear in the ground.

In less than ten seconds, the shop assistant was ejected from the soil. When we looked again, we saw that he was already dead, his body was covered with blood and mud, and both his legs were bitten off.

Seeing this situation, the other worker beside him was completely confused and did not know what to do. Hai Yang agilely grabbed the assistant by the armpits and dragged him to the giant rock. The monk was quick to grab the two and climbed up.

”Sanjin, come over here!”

The ocean was shouting at me with all my might, but Zhu Yingqiong and I were running towards the huge boulder alone, and only heard the rumbling sounds coming from behind us, I did not dare to look back, and only ran towards them head first. The monk was standing on top of the huge boulder and continuously shooting at me from behind, and I quickly rushed to the front of the boulder, and jumped up with one step.

Zhu Yingqiong's movements were even faster than mine. She was nimble as she jumped left and right in front of the boulder, but not only did she not jump up immediately, she was even holding onto the blade of the machete that the ocean saved her life. Holding it in her hand, she turned around and slashed down.

”Hurry up!”

I bent down and stretched out my hand, grabbed her wrist and pulled hard, gritting my teeth. Then I pulled Zhu Yingqiong onto the huge boulder and looked at the soil beneath, the hole in the ground had slowly disappeared.

Phew...

The few of us panted heavily. After all, what happened just now was too urgent and chaotic, and being able to escape with our lives was already a blessing from the heavens.

Fourth Uncle's face was terrifyingly gloomy. After all, he had lost two shop assistants in an instant.

This boulder is over half a meter tall, and it is wide enough for a few of us to stand on it. Clearly, we have not come into contact with the soil, so all the monsters below the ground did not attack us, but looking around, we are at the center of these ruins. The ground around us is filled with monsters that are attacking us from all sides, and it is almost the size of a football field.

The monk pointed his gun at the soil underneath the huge rock and asked, ”Crown Prince, did you clearly see what monster is earlier?”

I shook my head. I could only see their greyish, muddy bodies. I couldn't tell what they were at all. They were too fast for me to see them clearly. The moment I caught sight of them, they immediately dove into the ground.

Zhu Yingqiong said in a clear and cold voice. ”This area should be the range of the underground monsters' movements. Those people who died were bitten to death by these monsters, we have to leave immediately!”

Hai Yang raised her thumb and measured the distance in front of her as she said, ”Look, this open area is filled with collapsed ruins and boulders. It's about 50 meters away. There's a jungle ahead, what did you guys find?”

Without waiting for a reply, Hai Yang impatiently said, ”Soil, damn it, this area's soil is black and red!”

I was stunned and immediately looked towards the ground. I was shocked when I saw that the soil we were standing on was indeed black and red. It looked just like the soil at the edge of a swamp.

The two colors separated, and it was extremely obvious. We can only blame ourselves for not paying attention to the color of the ground!

The monk asked the Fourth Uncle: ”Fourth Master, where do we go next?”

Fourth Uncle said with a gloomy face: ”I want to know what the monsters below us are so that I can be sure of my next steps.”

I asked in astonishment, ”How can I see these monsters clearly? Could it be that he went down to catch one? ”

The monk smiled and put down the shotgun on his body. He slowly fished out something from his backpack. After hearing my question, he said, ”Use bait to lure them!”

”Decoy?”

I was shocked. Damn, bait? Doesn't that mean we have to use people to lure them? It took a lot of effort before they managed to get here. If we continue on, there's only death. Who would be willing to abandon their own lives to be bait?

Hai Yang decisively said: ”Fourth Master, you saved my life earlier, so I will be the bait!”

Fourth Uncle shook his head. At this time, the monk had already taken out a rope from his backpack and tied it around his waist.

I was startled, I looked towards Fourth Uncle, I understood immediately after Fourth Uncle did not say anything. had just said that he needed to know what the monster below him was, and the monk knew what to do, no wonder the monk was the only one who was close to Fourth Uncle, because he knew Fourth Uncle, and understood Fourth Uncle's words, so the monk did not even need to continue asking, and knew what to do. Even if it was throwing his life away, the monk would not reject!
