C9 What exactly is that thing

The gigantic head of the monster squeezed into the passage from behind, opened its mouth and let out a loud scream.

Xue Yan was shocked, she lost her balance and fell to the ground. That shout continued to travel through the passageway. Not only Xue Yan, but even the person at the very front felt pain in his eardrums.

Hurriedly supporting himself on the walls of the passage, Xue Yan barely managed to stabilize his body. At this moment, she suddenly felt an itch on her face, as if something sticky had landed on her face.

She hurriedly reached out her hand and brushed it away. At the same time, she turned around and rushed into the depths of the tunnel. Wei Huo and Che Yue did not dare to hesitate either. Those huge eyes of hers made their scalps go numb just by looking at them.

Wei Huo scooped up Xue Yan once, and before he had time to ask her about her situation, he dragged her and rushed out.

There was no light in the dark passageway, but the eyes of the monster were as clear as a bright lamp.

That monster seemed determined to devour them, and its speed was even faster than the trio's fleeing speed. As they got closer and closer, they could even feel the stench of the monster's breath on the back of its neck.

Nausea and fear filled their hearts at the same time, but other than running away, they had no other choice.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came from behind them, the stench that had never disappeared before suddenly erupted, and instantly enveloped Wei Huo and Xue Yan. At the same time, the two of them felt a dense wetness coming from behind them.

Wei Huo's brows sunk, he knew that something was wrong, and immediately pulled Xue Yan's hand, rolling down the ground, while shouting out loud, "Be careful!"

Che Yue reacted almost at the same time, rolling a distance away from the ground. Next, a "hong" sound was heard and the entire tunnel trembled once again.

Wei Huo stood up from Xue Yan's body, but he could still hear the rustling sounds coming from his ears without any warning. Wei Huo was about to pull Xue Yan up, but was hit by something on her body.

His hands immediately stopped moving, and his whole body involuntarily shivered. He immediately turned around to take a look, but the pair of blood-red eyes were right in front of him. The moment he saw those eyes, his entire body seemed to stiffen, and even his breathing stopped.

Wei Huo's chest heaved up and down, the monster's breath struck his face, the stench almost caused him to faint.

However, at this moment, his nerves were stretched taut and he didn't dare to even move.

Stunned, he stared at the pair of large, scarlet eyes and took a deep breath. Xue Yan seemed to have also noticed this situation, his body that was still lying on the ground did not dare to move an inch.

Che Yue was slightly further away, but she was also shocked by what she saw.

Just as Wei Huo was about to meet eyes with the monster, the pair of scarlet eyes suddenly shrank back. In the next moment, the same feeling as before attacked him. Wei Huo immediately knew that the incoming wind was bad.

Without caring about anything else, he shouted at the two women, "Run!"

After saying that, he immediately grabbed Xue Yan's arm and pulled her up. At the same time, he used his strength to push her forward so that he could be at the back.

The situation was urgent, and the three of them had no time to worry about anything else. But Wei Huo did not manage to avoid the sweeping gale immediately. Even though he had bent down in a hurry, the gale still followed him closely.

A burst of cold suddenly surged out from Wei Huo's side. Before he could react, he immediately felt a sharp pain from his waist, then his entire body suddenly lightened, and he lost his center of gravity.

However, he immediately slammed into the wall, causing him to feel as if his entire body was falling apart. One shoulder was unconscious.

"What is that thing? It's so fierce!" He grumbled depressingly and landed on the ground. He held on to his arm and supported himself on the ground before jumping up. He didn't pay attention to what was happening behind him and immediately started running.

"Huff, huff." The three couldn't take it anymore and finally came out of the tunnel to meet Moonlight.

Xue Yan and Che Yue were waiting at the entrance of the passage. When they saw Wei Huo coming out, they immediately asked nervously, "Leader, are you alright?"

Wei Huo immediately waved his hand, his body leaning on the mountain wall at the entrance of the passage, his eyes looking back into the passage, confirming that the big fellow was not chasing him, and then he heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine. What exactly is that thing? Why is it so scary?"

Although he didn't say it out loud, his hand still couldn't help but rub his arm. Even now, his arm was still feeling a burning pain.

"I only gave it a rough glance and did not dare to go closer. It shrank back into the water, as if it had grown another small mountain. I was worried, so I didn't approach it. However, I have a vague impression that that thing looked a little like the legendary Flood Dragon. "

Che Yue rubbed her chest that was still a little uneasy, thinking back to the scene before, she said softly.

Wei Huo immediately frowned: "Jiao? How could that thing appear in a pool of water? "

Even though he had never seen a Flood Dragon before, he knew that this level of monster would either appear in the Great Swamp or in the vast ocean. But here

However, Xue Yan seemed to have thought of something, and gently smiled: "You forgot, there's a holiday house in the mountains here!"

Hearing this, Che Yue and Wei Huo could not help but become startled. The two of them were not stupid people, they immediately knew what Xue Yan meant.

However, even if it was a person who created such a unique mountain resort, it was not possible for him to raise a flood dragon here as a pet.

However, the two of them did not refute him. After all, they were not rich people, so they could not be sure of the taste of those rich people's pets.

"Speaking of which, why hasn't that thing caught up?" On the way back, the three of them ran for their lives. Only when they were out of danger did they have the mind to care about the others. Looking at the monster's appearance, it seemed as if it had not eaten meat for eight lifetimes. Its eyes were red with greed.

As such, it wasn't easy for him to come across the three of them having such a delicious meal, which was why he was so persistent in chasing after them.

Based on this situation, the monster shouldn't be giving up so easily. But now, the monster was nowhere to be seen.

Xue Yan suddenly went close to Wei Huo's side and asked him: "What are you thinking?"

Wei Huo immediately frowned, then laughed: "Nothing, I am just hesitating whether or not I should go back and take a look!"

Strangely, when he said this, the two girls actually did not immediately retort and instead contemplated.

"If we use the stone house on the mountain as a temporary base, then we need to ensure the safety of our surroundings. I feel that we need to know more about that monster!" If necessary, perhaps …

After saying that, Che Yue's eyes suddenly shone with a cold light.

Wei Huo nodded his head, since he wanted to use the stone hut as a base, he couldn't possibly go through such a soul-stirring ceremony every time he went in and out.
