Dean looked towards the source of the scream and saw a bloody scene. He saw a lizard-like monster lying on Luna's back. The monster's body was upright and its whole body was dark green like crocodile skin. Its triangular head was slightly open and there were sharp teeth inside. There were two protruding blades on both sides of its cheeks. It looked like a pair of pliers. At the moment the monster was biting the top of Luna's head.
Dean's pupils shrank as he saw the familiar appearance of the monster.
Ian, Martin, Ruby, and the others, who were standing not far away, heard the scream and turned around to look. They were all shocked to see this terrible scene. Martin and Ian were the first to react. They roared and quickly waved their weapons and rushed over.
Puff! The monster didn't wait for the two people to get close to it as it pierced through Luna's skull. Luna's screams came to an abrupt stop. The next moment, her skull was suddenly opened, revealing the sticky and bloody brain as well as the slowly squirming blood vessels inside the skull.
The lizard-like monster that was lying on Luna's back flicked its tail and pushed Luna towards Ian and Martin. Then it turned around and rushed into the darkness behind them. When it passed a protruding stone pillar, it didn't make any sound. Even the sound of its footsteps disappeared in an instant.
Ian caught Luna's body. His face was extremely ugly. With his height, he could see Luna's skull above the bridge of her nose. The bloody scene stimulated his eyeballs and heart. The slightly squirming blood vessels spread all over the brain tissue like sulci.
He clenched his teeth and looked up.
Martin had chased the monster to the stone pillar. He looked around but didn't find the monster.
Ruby and Rosemary were a bit slower but they had already rushed over. They clenched their weapons and looked around nervously. But they couldn't see anything.
"Gone? How is it possible? Where did it go? " Ruby was emotional as he waved the torch to illuminate the surrounding rock wall. But he didn't see the shadow of the monster. It was as if the previous scene was just an illusion.
Dean immediately rushed over.
As soon as he approached, Martin, Ruby, and the others looked at him with vigilance and even deeper anger in their eyes.
Dean slightly frowned: "There are other monsters here. If we want to fight amongst ourselves then none of us will survive. Let me see the situation. Maybe I can find it."
Martin took a deep look at Dudian and tilted his head to Ruby.
Ruby stepped aside.
Dean squatted down and carefully scanned the ground. Suddenly, he found a more wet and sticky trace. He could not help but stare at the trace. Looking in the direction of the trace, he saw that the trace extended to a deeper rock wall.
Martin and Rosemary noticed Dean's eyes, and suddenly woke up. They looked up along the trace, and their line of sight finally converged on the dome of the deep rock wall, and then the trace stopped.
And at the end of the mark, there was nothing on the rock wall!
Everyone's expression changed slightly as they nervously looked around.
Drip!
Suddenly, an extremely soft sound rang out behind them.
Dean, Martin and others turned around in horror. They didn't see the monster appear from behind, but saw a drop of red blood on the ground not far behind them. It seemed to be Luna's blood.
Dean's pupils shrank as he looked up.
The top of the pitch-black nest was filled with uneven rock walls, but there was no trace of the monster.
Martin's face turned ugly as he looked at the teenager: "Can't you find it with your thermal vision?"
"I can't find it." Dean replied in a dignified tone.
At this time, Ian came over with Luna's body. He stared at Dean: "You seem to know something before the monster attacked."
Martin, Ruby, and Rosemary looked at Dean with an unfriendly expression.
Dean's face turned cold as he saw their reaction: "I saw an empty egg over there, so I thought that the thing inside might have hatched. I was about to remind you, but she was attacked. What do you want to suspect?"
Ian stared at him for a moment and turned to look at Dean's previous position. He saw a tilted egg. He frowned and looked at Ruby: "Didn't you notice the egg when you and Eugene were looking for the exit?"
Ruby replied: "I was looking over there. Eugene was looking over there. If I saw the egg then I would have told everyone."
Ian frowned slightly. Of course, he believed Ruby. In that case, either Eugene was too lazy to look for the exit and didn't notice it. After all, Eugene didn't have night vision and needed the help of a torch, but the area illuminated by the torch was very limited in the dark. Or Eugene noticed it but didn't say it out loud and had other plans.
However, now that Eugene was dead, there was no way to ask about the specifics, and there was no need to delve into it.
"That thing is similar to the little monster inside the egg." Rosemary reminded as she saw the ugly expression on everyone's face.
Ian's expression was gloomy. "I know. That one just hatched a while ago. It's much bigger than the other one. It probably hatched a while ago. At the very least, it hatched before we entered this place."
Martin clenched his fists as he looked at Luna: "Damn bastard! It has been lurking around here. It dared to attack us in front of so many people!"
Rosemary frowned and said: "Luna couldn't stand the smell of the egg, so she stood a bit behind us and fell far away. She was defenseless, so she was able to get the egg. From now on, we can't split up anymore. We must leave this place as soon as possible."
"Leave?" Martin looked at her: "Do you want Luna to die in vain?"
Rosemary was startled.
Ian looked at Martin and was silent for a moment: "It can attack Luna successfully. Its strength is extraordinary. Moreover, it is good at hiding. It will be very difficult for us to kill it."
Martin was angry: "Are we not going to help her get revenge? There are so many of us. Why should we be afraid of it? If you really want to leave, then leave! Anyway, I will kill it. I have seen its actions. In addition to sneak attacks, it may not be able to defeat any of us. I don't believe that we can't lure it out! "
Ruby wanted to say something but hesitated. He thought for a moment and said: "I also agree with Martin. The five of us together are more than enough to kill it. We can't let Luna die in vain!"
Ian frowned as he saw Ruby agree. He sighed and nodded: "Alright, let's kill it first."
Dean saw that they were going to stay to avenge Luna. He felt that it was funny: "I think we should leave immediately. Even if we kill it, Luna won't be able to resurrect. Instead, it will consume our strength. If one of us is injured, it will be more dangerous on the way back. We might even sacrifice ourselves."
Martin glared at him and said, "Shut up! What does a newbie like you know?!"
Dean's eyebrows rose.
Ian didn't want to quarrel at this time. He waved his hand: "Don't talk too much." He looked at Dean: "Luna is one of our team members. She has performed several missions with us. In short, our lives have been saved by her. Of course, we have also saved her. It's the first time for you to perform a mission so you can't understand it. But I hope you can understand it."
Dean had a feeling that he was about to laugh. He suppressed his anger: "I can understand your feelings but the situation is more complicated than you think. This thing hatched before we entered and we have been here for five days. We have been alone for five days. Such flaws are enough for it to attack but it didn't. What does this mean?"
"It means that it isn't an ordinary monster but a monster with a certain level of wisdom. The most important thing is that it didn't choose to attack at that time. But it chose to attack now. It is not because of Eugene's death but because it has grown up!"
Ian was startled.
Dean continued: "It has grown to the extent that it thinks that it can hunt us. That's the main reason why it chose to attack now! In the last five days, it has been lurking in the dark and observing us. We have been in close contact with it many times but we didn't notice it. Even if we felt a trace of abnormality, we would deny it. "
Rosemary and Ruby's face turned ugly. They found that the situation was as Dean had said. They had been in the same room with the unknown monster for the last five days. They were in a state of death at any time. The monster didn't attack them. It was obvious that it was observing their every move.
Both of them felt their scalp tingle. Cold sweat oozed out of their bodies as they thought of this.
