They continued to move forward.
The scent of flesh permeated the surroundings.
Bai Youwei covered her nose for a while before realizing there was no avoiding breathing, so she lowered her hand and reluctantly accepted the air here.
As they walked on, they could faintly make out the outline of a suspension bridge covered with chunks of flesh.
Simultaneously, they encountered something else.
…It was a group of skinless creatures, with disproportionately large heads and tiny skinny limbs.
They perched on the lumpy meat, gnawing it hungrily. The gnawed areas released pus, blood, and slime, causing the pink flesh to turn a rotten purple color.
Bai Youwei felt sickened, almost to the point of throwing up.
She was reminded of the movie “The Lord of the Rings” from over a century ago, specifically, the character Gollum. These things were just like it!
No… That’s not right. These creatures were even more disgusting!
At least Gollum had bright, expressive eyes. As for these… She had been looking for a while and she couldn’t find their eyes at all!
“What in the world is this?” Tan Xiao couldn’t help but exclaim, “Alien babies?”
As soon as he finished speaking, these red creatures seemed to sense his movement and suddenly turned to look at him! On their faces, they had nothing but cracked mouths!
“Holy crap…” Tan Xiao gasped.
Seven or eight of these creatures were scuttling towards them!
Though their limbs seemed small and frail, they climbed over the lumps of flesh like bamboo worms, scurrying swiftly like nothing else!
Tan Xiao didn’t have time to swear! He immediately wielded his baseball bat, smacking one creature away and crushing the next with a loud bang!
And they really did smash!
It felt like bursting a blood packet. Once hit, it immediately splattered and melted into the flesh beneath their feet, leaving nothing behind but a powerful, pungent stench of blood!
Chang Weicai wielded a walking stick as a weapon, swinging it nervously without rhythm, but still managing to repel several creatures.
“Be careful, everyone!” he shouted, “These things might be poisonous, try not to come into direct contact with them!”
“You should have said that sooner, Chang!” Tan Xiao crushed another creature’s head.
He stuck his tongue out in disgust: “Blech! Blech! Blech! Blech!”
While the creatures were terrifyingly agile, given their small size and lack of toughness, the team could deal with seven or eight of them at once.
Pan Xiaoxin was protected in the middle, his face deathly pale.
Despite his meticulous preparations for entering the maze, he never expected these people to be so ruthless! Within 5 minutes of entering the maze, they had already begun fighting with monsters! Moreover…even the sixty-year-old boss had managed to kill quite a few!
Among everyone, only Bai Youwei seemed relatively calm, sitting motionless in her wheelchair like a vulnerable girl.
This gave the young Pan Xiaoxin a bit of comfort.
The last creature was crushed under Shen Mo t s foot.
He controlled his power, rolling the creature’s slippery head under his foot without killing it, and asked with a frown, “Come and see what this is.”
As Chang Weicai leaned down to get a closer look at the creature, he probed its mouth with his walking stick.
“Its body produces some kind of toxin that corrodes proteins and fats, but it seems not to affect us much…
Chang looked at Tan Xiao’s unscathed face, then lightly poked at the creature’s head with his stick.
Unexpectedly, the creature’s head burst open instantly, turning into a pool of blood underneath Shen Mo’s foot.
Chang was taken aback, “…well, it seems their heads are unusually fragile, which could be a weak point. They also appear to move in groups, so there may be many more lurking in the maze.”
Shen MO turned to Bai Youwei, “Any thoughts?”
Bai Youwei made a disgusted face, “This is too disgusting.”
Bai Youwei, looking uncomfortable, repeated: “Too disgusting… too disgusting…”
It seemed their strategist was quite shocked..
