Chapter 22 Mysterious Mist(1/2)
boom!
In the huge vibration, the land under your feet instantly broke.
A serpentine monster emerged from under the soil, opened its dark and bloody mouth, and swallowed Mo Yun and Connor.
It is huge in size, longer than anaconda, with dark brown surfaces and circles of earthy yellow circles on its skin. It has no eyes, but has a big mouth that is enough to swallow three people in one bite.
It can be imagined that if it is swallowed into the stomach, it will immediately be mixed with the soil under your feet and will be digested so that there is no residue left.
Mo Yun sensed the movements underground before the ground broke.
He jumped two meters high in the air and waved his backhand.
There seemed to be a flash of lightning in the void!
The pale white sword light was like the sickle of the god of death. The sword light slashed from top to bottom, as if it had torn the air into two halves. Before the blade reached, the nearby grass and leaves turned into two halves.
Since he came to this world, he has almost no room for play.
From the end of Dr. Kawaguchi's life on the plane, he felt a sense of restrained apology. After entering Brana City, he could not bear to really kill the members of the Holy Shiraki Society. Even if those people had murderous intentions towards him, he was still unwilling to kill people easily.
Maybe Mo Yun in this parallel world doesn't care, but he cares very much.
In this world, only humans will premeditately massacre similar creatures for the sake of their interests.
He always believed that it was determined by the killing instinct in nature of human nature, in other words, animal nature. But he believed that animal nature was not just the instinct of killing. He felt that animal nature in more sense represented the instinct of survival.
A writer he liked very much once said, "Losing human nature means losing a lot; losing animal nature means losing everything."
When facing a life-and-death crisis, he does not mind killing freely to ensure his life safety; but when the situation he faces is not so dangerous, he is absolutely unwilling to easily kill his fellow people.
Killing similar people sounds and is easy to do.
But only after you make it, you will understand the weight.
After entering the jungle, Mo Yun's heart was also fully released. The pressure and dissatisfaction he had accumulated for a long time, as well as the affliction of not being able to take full advantage, were all released in the green sea of trees and the fresh oxygen.
Now he feels that his condition is unprecedentedly good.
So, after the sword was swung out, he felt that the constraints of his whole body were opened.
It's like opening a lock.
The sword light slashed down sharply, and the monster's hard body seemed to be non-existent. As soon as the sword light passed by, it divided the roaring monster into two halves. Then it continued to cast a bottomless gully on the soil.
Everything within a radius of ten meters is divided into two.
The leaves broke, the vines also turned into sections, and even the air seemed to be split into two parts.
The sharp sword intent is enough to make anyone who enters this range frightened.
The monster's roar stopped. It twisted a few times and fell to the ground with a bang. The body, which was divided into two halves, fell heavily to the ground, causing the ground to vibrate slightly.
Connor looked at the dead monster in front of him with lingering fear and the gully that spread to his feet.
He looked down at the legs of the pants, where the fabric of the pants had been split into two.
If he hadn't retreated quickly, maybe his ankle would have been split into two at this time, not just his pants.
"Brother Yun is still so strong... He has indeed been hiding his strength."
Connor's heart was filled with various complex emotions.
Throughout the journey, Mo Yun has been very low-key and has little talk, and seems to be full of worries.
Many times, he stood silently in the shadows, staring at everything around him.
Although he knew Mo Yun's strength, Connor had a long time illusion that Mo Yun's strength had declined, so he would often take the initiative to stand up, take responsibility, and stand up for the team.
But now it seems that even if he doesn't take action, Mo Yun can easily solve everything.
"What kind of monster is this..." Connor murmured.
Mo Yun was about to answer when he suddenly found that the monster corpse lying beside Connor was squirming.
"Be careful!" he shouted
Connor was stunned.
"boom!"
In an instant, the sky was spinning, and Connor felt like he was hit by a train head-on, and his internal organs were incredibly painful, and then his body rose into the air and lost his balance.
Connor protected his body with his hands and was slapped out by the monster's body.
Several trees were broken along the way and fell into the jungle.
The monster, whose body was split in two, suddenly roared, and the body cut into two halves by the knife light began to wriggle at the same time. The flesh and blood in the wound surged at the same time, tissue cells quickly increased their value, and the flesh and blood filled the wound with bloated.
A few seconds later, the originally huge monster suddenly turned into two equally huge beings.
Mo Yun retreated a few meters away and stared at the monster in front of him with a serious expression.
Originally, he was just guessing, but seeing the monster in front of him quickly resurrected, he had already confirmed that what was as huge as a hill in front of him was a giant earthworm!
When he was in elementary school, he heard a joke:
"One day, the earthworm family was on holiday. The little earthworm felt very bored, so she cut herself in half and went to play badminton. The earthworm mother cut herself into four pieces and played mahjong. After they returned home, they saw the earthworm father who cut himself into more than a dozen pieces and asked in surprise what was wrong. The earthworm father replied: 'I want to play football.'"
At that time, other students found it funny, but he felt that the joke had a sense of absurdity and horror.
From then on, he developed a certain fear of earthworms.
Now, seeing a giant earthworm that was magnified dozens of times appearing alive in front of him, Mo Yun couldn't help but feel a nightmare coming true.
He turned his head, looked deep in the jungle, and shouted:
"Connor, are you okay?"
After a moment, a hot flame rushed out of the jungle.
The young man with brown hair and red eyes was burning with fire. He just floated in the air like that, furiously, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a human-shaped torch.
"Damn monster..." Connor said angrily, "I'm really looking for death!"
"Alas--"
The giant earthworm suddenly let out a sharp and gentle howl.
"Are you scared?" Connor pinched a ball of flame with both hands.
"I think it's calling a companion," Mo Yun said.
"Brother Yun, let's join forces to solve it as soon as possible!" Connor said.
"OK."
Mo Yun looked deep in the jungle and found that there seemed to be fog in the distance, and the green sea of trees was white. He didn't know whether this was a natural phenomenon or whether it was related to their intrusion into the jungle.
This can be said to be the base camp of those plants. According to the information, they even have the ability to move and the primary wisdom.
They are now deeply into the tiger's den and are full of dangers everywhere.
"So quickly and quickly!"
Mo Yun lowered his voice and then stepped on the ground.
The soil was shattered and a deep footprint appeared on the ground.
He turned into a black shadow, holding a long sword in his hand, and rushed towards the monster in front of him. At the same time, Connor also roared angrily, turning into a ball of fire, falling from the sky and bombarding it.
The silver-white knife light lit up, blending with the orange-red flames, wrapping the two monsters together.
"ah--"
The monster screamed.
A few seconds later, its body was split into pieces, burned by flames, and completely turned into a ball of coke.
The smell of meat seemed to float in the jungle.
It's dead.
Mo Yun put his knife away and stood there, and Connor slowly landed on the ground.
"Look at that side."
Mo Yun pointed with a serious expression.
Connor turned his head and his face changed.
It turned out that just as they were fighting with the giant earthworms, there was already a huge fog in the jungle. Originally, the fog was just a white shadow, floating far away.
But now the white fog seemed to be a river falling from the sky, surging from all directions. The thick fog almost blocked everything, causing the entire jungle to disappear behind the white barrier.
The sound of insects everywhere disappeared, as quiet as a grave.
Mo Yun had an illusion that the fog that surged from all sides was like a natural cage that trapped them in the center.
They can't see anything after the fog.
But outside this cage, there were countless terrifying gazes staring at them.
"Brother Yun, what should I do?" Connor asked.
To be continued...
