Chapter 6 06: [Silent Forest] Cyclops
Author: I really want to eat meat 597
The forest is cool in the early morning. A few crystal clear morning dew condenses on the waist-high weeds, sliding gently along the leaf tips, leaving traces of varying depths on the soft soil.
Oh, what a peaceful and beautiful forest...
That's weird.
If it weren't for the still silence all around, Anji would really have thought she was on a spring outing!
At this time, they had been heading north for several minutes without encountering any obstacles along the way, as if everything that happened last night was a lie.
She held the scabbard and walked with Coster, frowning and thinking, always feeling that she had forgotten something, but she could never remember it.
Probably because the previous experience of dying was so painful that she is still a little confused now...
In order to save time, Anji started from the beginning to recall what happened last night, trying to clarify her thoughts.
She first woke up from the illusion and wanted to wake up Scott, but failed.
Then, he lay down on the fire and tried to cover the fire...
Wait, why cover the fire?
There seemed to be a muffled thunder exploding in my mind, and I was sweating.
The dark forest, the violently shaking earth... As these scenes revived in the memories, the strong fear at that time also emerged again.
In this forest, there are huge creatures that they cannot contend with.
Anji quickly calmed down - because even if she talked about it, it would just be a waste of time.
A monster that can make such a big noise must be very huge. If it was near them, there was no way they wouldn't notice it.
Rather than encountering Schrödinger’s monster that you may not encounter, it’s better to worry more about the problem in front of you...
Anji's stomach twitched at the right time. She had been hungry for a day. Not only was she physically exhausted, she was also injured, and she didn't even have to drink any water.
In fact, before setting off, she asked Scott if she could roast and eat the chopped chicken on the ground? Compared with the silver wolf, the death of the chicken looked better.
many.
But all she received in response was a blow to the head.
At this time, Anji became hungrier as she walked, and missed the chicken more and more in her heart. She swallowed sadly, and without paying attention, she bumped into Scott, who suddenly stopped, and her injured forehead fell.
Hitting the opponent's chainmail so directly, it hurt and made me feel a little dizzy.
"What's wrong……?"
Although she couldn't make a sound, she still muttered subconsciously and rubbed her head in pain.
Immediately afterwards, she and Scott froze in place.
Looking along the woods ahead, in the open space about ten meters away from them, a huge dark green sole with complex skin patterns like crisscrossing ravines was facing them.
You can still vaguely see that above the soles of the feet, there is a bulging belly like a mountain, rising and falling, as if a giant is lying on the ground sleeping.
What kind of evil have they done... can they touch anything?
Anji felt like crying inside. She originally thought that there was no need to guard against such a large monster. After all, as long as it moved, they would be able to detect it immediately. Even if they couldn't defeat it, they could always avoid it, right?
But who knew, this monster could sleep in the forest?
The dust in the air was vibrating rhythmically. It seemed that the monster was sleeping soundly and snoring like thunder.
However, there was still deathly silence in the forest.
That's why the two of them foolishly barged in and were in a dilemma.
But on the other hand, the monster should not be able to hear the sound.
Angie and Scott quickly exchanged glances, and the two stepped back in tacit agreement.
At this moment, Anji felt something wasn't right under her feet.
She was suddenly startled, and suddenly looked down at the ground, and found that her heels were stepping on a pool of thick black liquid.
Behind this pool of round liquid, there is also a long and slender black water, like a small tail, extending far into the jungle near the monster.
The dust that was originally vibrating strongly with the rhythm seemed to have suddenly lost its power and began to float lightly.
Bad thing.
The second the thought flashed through her mind, the ground began to tremble.
run!
In an instant, Angie and Scott quickly dispersed like frightened birds, running to the left and right behind them.
Immediately afterwards, the shaking of the earth became stronger and stronger, and the leaves fell one after another.
In the flash of lightning, Anji looked back and saw a Cyclops three stories tall standing in the woods!
The huge single eye occupies half the size of the face. At this moment, the eyeball is rotating in a strange way, and the line of sight jumps back and forth in the direction of the two of them, and finally stops on Anji's side.
.
Then, it took heavy steps and slowly raised its left arm. Its arm was covered with a large number of black curses, and the surging black tide continued to drip downward, forming a black track on the ground.
At this time, Anji had probably run nearly three hundred meters in just a few dozen seconds, but the distance between her and the giant was still being shortened.
There were too many obstacles in the forest, and they needed to avoid the trees and bushes, but their hungry bodies did not have much energy left.
The ground shook with the giant's steps. It finally raised its arms.
But it didn't want to smash it down, but touched the neck.
Anji turned around and saw this scene, her pupils shrank. Only then did she realize that a necklace made of two human corpses hung around the monster's neck, and a thick straw rope stained with blood passed through the head, and as it moved
It sways with movement.
Where did the straw rope come from...
Just when Anji was wondering, the monster grabbed one of the corpses with its palm filled with black water, and threw the corpse heavily together with the black water in its hand!
The moment the monster started to move, Anji had immediately changed its direction and jumped behind the tree on the other side just before the attack came.
The next second, all the trees along the route that the girl was running on were knocked down, and the black liquid, surrounded by sporadic red and white, exploded in all directions, and also splashed on the tree where she was hiding.
The strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of grease spread out.
Even with such a shocking and disastrous scene, the surroundings were still silent, with only the surrounding vegetation still swaying in the lingering wind.
Anji's heart was beating wildly. She felt like a newbie who had mistakenly entered an advanced copy, and was so powerless in the face of all this.
And among the exploded plasma, there were still a few pieces of metal fragments remaining, which were obviously the armors of the two soldiers who had been with them before...
At this time, the giant touched the necklace around his neck again. At the same time, it did not stop walking.
She knew that it was impossible to solve the problem by just running. Hiding with the help of the complex terrain of the forest was the best option.
Just as she was running and looking around for a suitable hiding spot, a sudden strong wind blew behind her, and the world became much brighter.
The towering woods behind him were split into two pieces at the waist, with a black curse flowing from the cuts.
"————"
Instantly, a sharp tinnitus exploded in her head.
Along with the severe pain all over her body, the feeling of suffocation in her heart reappeared, and blood flowed from her eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
The hand relaxed.
The scabbard, which she had carried all the way, slipped silently to the ground.
"...Is that so? It turns out that power has a time limit..."
Not as panicked as I imagined.
Because she had already made a decision before and would not give up easily again.
All the blood in his body seemed to be screaming with pain.
Even though her consciousness was dim, she still dragged her heavy body, gritted her teeth, and moved step by step.
At this moment, the earth was turbulent and dust was flying!
A strong shock wave swept over and knocked Anji directly to the ground.
In severe pain, she turned over with difficulty and looked back.
In the vision stained red by blood, the mountain-like body had fallen behind her, motionless.
And on the monster's already bloody body, there was a man whose whole body was wrapped in a dark curse and who was holding a giant sword.
Her arms were twisted and ferocious, like strange-shaped dead wood covered with a layer of black skin. Her human form was completely unrecognizable. Her slightly curved shoulder-length black hair spread out in the wind, revealing the blood-stained white side face.
Feeling the eyes of others looking at her, she did not turn her head, but looked at Anji with dark eyes, with a weird smile that almost reached her ears, and said in a low and slow voice:
"Alas. There is actually a little girl alive."
"I'm so disappointed..."
Anji's vision gradually blurred, she could no longer hold on, and fell into a coma.
Finally finished writing the first alien scene (rubbing hands together excitedly)
Chapter completed!
