"We've carried out so many missions but this is the first time we've encountered such a thing. Haha." Ruby laughed.
"It's not that simple." Martin squatted beside the silencer's body and carefully looked at it. He frowned and whispered: "This silencer's wound was fatal. It's the weakest part of its body. It doesn't look like it was caused by the blood sender."
Ian looked at Martin: "What do you mean?"
Martin used the dagger to pick up the wound on the silencer's flesh sac and jaw and said, "Look, these two wounds aren't caused by the Blood Sender's tentacles. Aside from these two wounds, the rest of the body is perfectly fine."
Ian focused his gaze, and he was instantly moved. "You're saying …."
"Yes." Martin slowly got up. His eyes were gloomy as he slowly swept over everyone's face: "If my guess is correct, it should have been killed by another monster. Moreover, it should have been killed by an overwhelming force. It didn't even have the strength to fight back."
Luna and Ruby suddenly froze.
Rosemary's eyes slightly widened: "You mean … there are other monsters in this nest?"
Martin looked at her and shook his head: "I'm not sure if that thing is still here. But this silencer should have been killed by a higher level monster."
Luna gulped: "A higher level monster? A monster that can overwhelm and kill the silencer without being detected … Is it a higher level monster from the red wasteland? "
Martin's face was gloomy. He didn't answer her but looked at Ian.
Ian didn't hesitate as he decisively said: "Take out the parasitic soul worm and leave this place."
Ruby didn't dare to delay. He quickly found the parasitic soul worm in the silencer's body. It looked like a small spider. Its whole body was stained with the silencer's blood. It was constantly struggling when it was put into the bottle.
Ruby had just twisted the bottle cap when suddenly a loud bang came from outside the cave. The ground slightly trembled.
Everyone's complexion changed.
Ian suddenly looked at the direction of the cave exit. His face was pale and ugly.
Boom, there was another loud sound. It seemed to be the footsteps of some giant creature, and it was approaching the nest.
Dean felt the tremor under his feet. His face was gloomy. From this violent movement, he could imagine how huge this thing was. Although the size could not absolutely determine the strength of a monster, but in most cases, the large size of the monster was often of a high level.
"Is, is that thing back?" Ruby's dark face was also a little pale. The strong shaking caused by the footsteps had already instinctively formed a huge and terrifying outline in his mind.
Ian came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and immediately said, "Run inside, hide in the innermost part!"
If this was the demonic creature that had killed the Wind Listeners, then there was no doubt that their team would have no chance of winning against it. After all, even if they encountered the Wind Listeners, they would have to put up a bitter fight. However, the Wind Listeners had been easily killed by the demonic creature. This kind of power could easily annihilate their team. They could only hide!
Moreover, their task had been completed. They had obtained the Parasitic Soul Worm of the Wind Listeners. Now they only needed to think about how to survive and return to the giant wall.
Martin, Luna, Rosemary and others didn't doubt Ian's order. They immediately followed behind Ian and crossed the corpse of the Wind Listeners. They rushed into the cave.
Eugene glanced at Dean and also followed. He didn't dare to fall behind.
Dean looked back at the direction of the cave exit. It was estimated that the rock wall was too thick, so his thermal vision couldn't see the heat of the thing outside the cave. After all, the penetration of vision was limited.
Dean's face was gloomy. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing in his first mission. Accidents could happen at any time in the wasteland.
He followed Ian and others into the cave. Although his instinct told him that this was not a good idea, but he couldn't think of any better idea.
Soon, everyone moved forward. As they went deeper into the cave, they saw more and more monster skeletons on the ground. Rotten pulp and feces could be seen everywhere. Apparently, the monster didn't have the concept of cleaning.
Boom, boom …
The roar outside the nest was getting farther away, but it was still clear.
After running for several hundred meters, Ian, who was at the very front, suddenly stopped.
Everyone looked up and saw that there was no way out.
In front of them was a dead end. Obviously, this was the deepest part of the nest.
"Damn it!" Ian punched the rock wall. His face was full of anger.
Boom, boom. The trembling sound slowly approached from outside the nest. The surrounding rock wall slightly trembled. Sand fell down. It seemed that the thing was squeezing into the cave.
"Could it be that it noticed us?" Ruby said in a trembling voice.
If this was the deepest part of the cave and they didn't see any other living creature along the way, then it was obvious that it was aware of them. Otherwise, there was no reason for it to continue to follow them.
Ian, Martin and others' faces turned ugly. If they were targeted by such a thing, then it would be very difficult to escape. Moreover, they would have to pay an extremely heavy price!
Everyone's mood was incomparably heavy. The atmosphere was so heavy that they couldn't breathe.
Dean also knew that he had encountered a life-threatening crisis. His heart was pounding, and the blood in his body was flowing fast as if it was about to burn. There was an instinctive sense of restlessness, but he quickly suppressed this anxious feeling and calmed down. His eyes swept around, and his pupils shrank into a small dot, making the white of his eyes too big, looking a bit strange and scary.
"Ah?" Dean suddenly saw a weak source of heat in the ground under his feet.
He suddenly thought of a possibility and immediately said, "There should be a nest under our feet. Let's dig down immediately!"
"What?"
Ian and others were surprised.
Dean said in a hurry: "Dig the passage if you don't want to die! It should be the second nest of the 'silencers'!"
Ian recovered as he saw Dean's urgent look. Although he didn't have time to think about the reason, but there was no other way: "Listen to little Dean! Hurry up!"
Everyone immediately took out the pickaxes from their backpacks. The pickaxes were made of metal and didn't have wooden handles. Therefore, they were able to exert their strength to a great extent.
Dean explained to everyone: "There is no sign of the 'silencers' living nearby. There must be some other purpose for it to dig so deep. My thermal vision has detected a weak source of heat. If I'm not wrong then it's likely to be an egg!"
"Is there a heat source below?" Ian and others' eyes lit up as they heard Dudian's words. They worked harder to dig the soil.
Bang! In less than half a minute, everyone worked together to dig a huge pit. As Ruby used all his strength to hoe, the soil under his feet suddenly collapsed, and everyone fell into it.
They fell seven or eight meters to the ground. They didn't care about the pain as they quickly turned over and climbed up. They vigilantly looked around.
However, when his palm hit the ground, it felt extremely sticky. It was like countless mucus, but the viscosity of this mucus was far higher than mucus. It was even stickier than glue.
Dean got up and quickly looked around. He saw countless white eggs in the dark and empty nest. There were several towering pillars in the nest. There were a lot of sticky filaments wrapped around them. The white eggs were slightly contracting as if they were beating. They exuded a faint fishy smell like swill.
Dean was relieved. His guess was right. This was the real nest of the 'silencers'.
