Fox, who was standing next to Lin Dong, suddenly heard him sigh.
Suddenly, he had a feeling that he understood him very well. Because even if he had a god like him, it would be difficult for him to defeat his pig-like teammates!
"Run! Get out of here! "Josiah made a prompt decision and ordered all the soldiers to retreat. However, his order was still too late. The nervous genetic soldiers did not retreat in the same direction. Some of them fled to the passage, intending to use the passage to get rid of the huge monster. Others scattered and ran upstream. They felt that the monster would be slower if it went upstream, and it would be easier for them to escape. At the same time, if they fled to the passage and the monster followed them, then there would be no room to maneuver in the narrow passage, and they would die without a burial place.
As for the despicable path.
No one chose it.
Because that was the direction of the gunshot.
"Roar!" After the super huge monster was shot by bullets, it was unscathed due to its thick skin and flesh. However, the stupid shooting of the exploration team had successfully angered it. The monster roared at the sky, and its body crashed into the river with a rumble, stirring up countless waves. Its speed was as fast as lightning, and it sprinted straight to the place where the gunshot came from.
"Mr. Wood, we'll protect you!" As soon as Josiah saw Lin Dong fleeing upstream with the team, he immediately rushed over with Eric Jr., not letting the young man get out of their sight easily.
The despicable path was less than 100 meters away.
The exploration team that had just returned with their pockets full of gold and diamonds.
They were shooting at the monster that rushed out of the water in front of them with the guns in their hands.
Bullets posed no threat to the monster, whose head and neck were as tall as a ten-story building. The infuriated monster opened its huge mouth. The super big mouth was three meters wide and four to five meters high. With just a peck, the exploration team members on the ground, as well as the sand and stones on the river bank, were all sucked into the monster's mouth. The monster did not chew. It raised its neck and swallowed the mixture of human flesh and sand into its stomach.
One of the surviving genetic soldiers was so scared that he wet his pants on the spot.
He threw his gun away.
Turned over.
Desperately trying to escape death.
However, the super big mouth chased after him like a shadow.
With a gentle inhalation, he was involuntarily sucked into the monster's mouth …
After slaughtering the exploration team that had shot at it, the monster was not satisfied. It swam up from the river and quickly chased after the genetic soldiers that had escaped into the tunnel. Its speed was extremely fast, and in less than a minute, it had already caught up to the fleeing genetic soldiers.
Under its high-speed pursuit, it was impossible for these genetic soldiers to escape back to the tunnel in time.
"Go to hell! I'm going to perish together with a monster like you!" One of the genetic soldiers had gone crazy from fear. He threw a grenade at the monster and fired wildly with his gun. In less than three seconds, he was swallowed by the monster, along with the grenade that was thrown in mid-air. The explosion of the grenade made the monster's mouth twitch as if it had just eaten a chili.
"Eat this, monster!" Another genetic soldier aimed a rocket launcher at the monster's head and pulled the trigger.
The monster seemed to be startled when it saw the little thing with smoke coming out of its buttocks.
However …
It was quite intelligent.
It lightly moved its head and dodged the attack.
At the same time, its body rapidly dashed toward the ground. Its super big mouth caught the rocket launcher and the person inside. It then raised its head and swallowed. After the food entered its stomach, the bullet exploded in the distant sky.
The remaining genetic soldiers were completely stunned. Such a huge and cunning monster, how could humans fight against it?
"I will definitely not let you swallow it and digest it slowly!" One of the genetic soldiers fired a shot at the monster's head without hesitation.
"Ah, no!" Some of them chose to continue running, hoping for a miracle to happen.
"Scram …" Most of them chose to shoot with their guns, hoping that the bullets would cause some damage and force the terrifying monster to retreat. Their efforts were in vain. Regardless of whether they shot, tried to escape, or even tried to commit suicide, they were all swallowed by the monster without exception. The agility type genetic soldier that had escaped the furthest had almost reached the tunnel's entrance. However, the monster still caught up to him and easily killed him. He had no chance to resist or struggle.
After slaughtering two groups of genetic soldiers.
The monster's anger subsided slightly, but it did not let Lin Dong and the others escape upstream.
It used its keen sense of smell to collect the scent of those who had left. After collecting enough scent information, it leisurely swam back to the center of the river, its huge body unhurriedly swimming upstream.
"Keep running!" When Josiah heard the gunshots from the tunnel's direction disappear, he knew that the team that had split up was finished. However, he couldn't guarantee that the monster had eaten its fill. With such a huge body, it was very unlikely that it had eaten its fill. Besides, an enraged creature could carry out a bloody massacre even if it had eaten its fill. No one could say for sure.
"Are all of you idiots? You actually dared to shoot such a huge monster! "Big Ivan was very angry.
He was not the only one. Everyone was dissatisfied.
If not for the exploration team.
If they had followed Mr. Wood's instructions and left quietly, perhaps they would not have lost a single person.
However, the exploration team's performance was simply making their teammates die. Previously, because they were greedy for diamonds, they had left the team. It was bad enough that they needed to use the whistle to wake up the monster from its sleep.
As soon as they returned, they fired at the monster without saying a word …
"Mr. Wood, what should we do now? Will the monster catch up? "Eric Jr. looked at Lin Dong.
"Leave the river bank!" Lin Dong suggested that everyone leave the river bank as far as possible. No one dared to question his words anymore. One by one, they quickly retreated toward the rock wall. After walking along the rock wall for a while, the soldiers found a relatively low position. They quickly climbed over it and walked as high as possible. As Josiah retreated, he turned on his flashlight and scanned the river. He found that a huge shadow had already caught up. However, because of the distance, the shadow did not catch up. Instead, it slowly sank into the water, as if it wanted to confuse its prey and wait for a good opportunity.
"This monster is guarding below. It will be very dangerous for us to retreat to the passage!" Josiah estimated that the team would be ambushed by the monster as soon as they left the river bank.
"Won't we be further away from the passage if we go forward?" Griffon felt that it was better to take a gamble.
"I remember that there was a cliff at the end of the middle passage. If we can find that position, then there is still hope." Fox's words made the soldiers' hearts light up. If they could climb up the cliff, it would indeed be a safe way to return.
However, they had no clue how to search.
The possibility of finding the cliff was almost zero.
Eric Jr. encouraged everyone. "We can estimate and try to search as high as possible. I believe that the chance of finding the entrance to the cliff is very high!" Although he said that, even he himself was not confident. It was difficult to search forward, but it was even more difficult to turn back. No one was willing to go back and face a monster that could swallow a few people alive at any time.
After walking for a long time.
They climbed a few cliffs, but it was not the exit of the middle passage.
It was very inefficient to climb like this, but they had to check one by one. If they missed one, they might miss the entire way back.
"If only we had a flashlight at the cliff. There is light. We can find it with the light!" Fox sighed.
"There really is light in front!" Lin Dong pointed ahead.
"Henferris, did you guys put a flashlight there?" Eric Jr. excitedly asked a genetic soldier who had participated in the middle passage exploration. The genetic soldier hesitated for a long time and shook his head. "I don't think so. I didn't do that. The flashlight is very important to our exploration. We can't just leave it there! At least I didn't do that. But I don't know if Orston left it there … He was the last one. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. I didn't see it … I can't guarantee it! "
"Orston!" Eric Jr. looked at the team and realized that Orston was one of the members who had escaped to the underground passage. He had died long ago.
No one would simply leave a flashlight on an unimportant cliff.
However.
If it was not Orston who left it there.
Then what about the light in front of them?
With suspicion, the team sped up. After walking for around two minutes, they finally saw the light Lin Dong mentioned.
It looked weak from afar, but the closer they got, the brighter it got. It was also located very high up. At first glance, it looked like a star hanging in the sky. Since there was only a bit of light, it was unlikely to be the monster's eye. Then, the possibility of it being a flashlight was very high!
"It should be Orston. That guy threw the flashlight at the top of the cliff!" Many genetic soldiers cheered happily.
"Damn it. He always likes to throw things everywhere. But this time, I have to say that he did a good job!"
"Orston, I won't forget him!"
"We can finally go back."
"This cliff is too high, but we should be able to climb it."
"Luckily, we have the flashlight to guide us. Otherwise, we will never find the real exit! As long as we climb up, we can say goodbye to that sh * tty monster. What I want to say is, I don't want to see it ever again! If possible, I don't want to come back here, even if this underground world is filled with gold and diamonds! "
The genetic soldiers discussed excitedly. All of them moved forward energetically.
Even Big Ivan, who had been criticizing Orston the whole time, had a smile on his face. "God, this is really a ray of hope!"
The light that was hanging high up was like the morning star, guiding the team forward. However, when they were still a few kilometers away, the light suddenly disappeared. It was instantly extinguished as if someone had purposely turned off the power.
"What happened?"
"Why did the light disappear?"
"Is there someone up there? That's impossible, right? Who's up there? "
"Calm down!" Eric Jr. saw the situation and immediately scolded, "This is the most normal result! If the flashlight still had a lot of battery, Orston would not have abandoned it so easily. Now that it suddenly extinguished, it means that the battery is low. That's the only logical explanation! We already know the location. As long as we reach the bottom of the cliff and climb up, we can go back. We don't need the light to constantly guide us. Plus, having the light for a long time will easily attract monsters. It's a good thing for us that it's extinguished! "
After Eric Jr.'s scolding, the genetic soldiers' morale was restored.
However, in his and Josiah's hearts, there was still a sense of uneasiness.
Even if the flashlight was really running out of battery, Orston would not have thrown it away so easily. It was an important exploration tool. A problem that could be solved by changing the power supply. Why would he throw it away?
If it wasn't the light from the flashlight … Eric Jr. did not dare to think further. He could only hope that Orston was really a spendthrift, or that he had lost his mind and left the flashlight there to guide them in the future! Josiah patted his shoulder and comforted him softly, "It shouldn't be a monster's eye. Plus, the light was too strong. Animals' eyes can only reflect light. They can't emit such strong light! Let's continue. We have no other choice now! "
"Mr. Wood, can we return safely?" Vanessa, the female soldier who was in charge of protecting Lin Dong, asked nervously.
"Should be able to!" Lin Dong wanted to say that he would be fine, but they might not be able to survive. However, he felt that it was a little cruel, so he chose to give an ambiguous answer.
"What's that monster?" Fox hugged Lin Dong's arm and rubbed her big breasts against his arm. She was the only one who cared about what the monster was. The others wanted to forget about it immediately. To Lin Dong, this fox girl was much harder to deal with than the monster.
"It might be a snake, but it was mutated by radiation." Lin Dong gently pulled his arm away from her hug.
"How long? I think it's at least a hundred meters long! " Fox opened her arms and made a long gesture. When she pulled her arm back, she hugged Lin Dong's arm again.
"More than sixty meters, not a hundred." Lin Dong was too lazy to care about her little advice.
"Oh my god, I dare say it's the king of this underground river!" Fawkes said as he made a face at Vanessa, who was standing beside him, with a hint of protest.
"Ah, that's not for sure! For example, there's a monster that's not inferior to it in the river below us! " Lin Dong stopped and pointed at the river below the cliff. "Everyone, shine your flashlights here. Yes, here!"
Vanessa and the other female soldiers quickly followed his instructions and shone their flashlights down.
Those with sharp eyes could see that there was a hideous monster sinking into the depths of the river.
Some of the slower ones could only see a huge black shadow disappearing without a sound. Looking at the size of the shadow that kept disappearing, it could be deduced that this thing was probably not any weaker than the giant snake they saw earlier. All the genetic soldiers gasped at the same time. They thought that they were finally safe after escaping the monster's pursuit. They never thought that the shadow of death was never far away.
"Luckily, this guy is under the river!" Griffon patted his chest to show that he was scared.
"What if it can climb?" When Lin Dong said that, everyone felt their scalps go numb. Don't make it sound so scary. It's bad enough already!
"It probably can't, because it's too big!" Big Ivan hoped that his words could be verified by Lin Dong, but Lin Dong shook his head and pointed further into the darkness. "I think it can climb. Look, there's another one over there!"
The flashlights shone in the direction where Lin Dong was pointing.
On the slightly lower cliff opposite them, there was a huge black shadow lying there. When it saw the light from the flashlights, it moved lazily. It seemed to be sleeping. Everyone immediately turned off their flashlights. They did not want their owners to misunderstand that they, as uninvited guests, had intentionally disturbed their rest. Although they were at least a kilometer away, everyone held their breath and did not dare to breathe!
"What do we do now?" This time, Fox was so scared that his heart almost flew out of his throat.
"Pray!" Lin Dong smiled. "Everyone better pray that this monster couple is not hungry! Or, pray that it's like what Professor Jeffery said, a huge but harmless vegetarian! "
"I think it's better to run!" Griffon suggested carefully. For the first time in his life, the unreliable Griffon received the support of everyone.
His suggestion was instantly accepted by everyone.
And it was put into action.
Other than Lin Dong, no one else discovered that in the darkness behind them, there were many black shadows quietly approaching, and they were tailing them all the way …
