Chapter 60: Chasing
German thought about "constraints and oaths". He actually had the answer in his mind, but it would take some time to hone it before it could be fully formed.
At the same time, he stuck the deformed and elongated meat saw between the extended mouthparts of the carnivorous flower bud, and could easily smell an indescribable stench.
Under his control, the meat saw cut the mouthparts, petals and green leaves of the carnivorous flower bud like a butcher chopping pork, and thick green liquid splashed out from the broken part.
He retreated and was several meters away in the blink of an eye. He watched the carnivorous flower bud fall down with a bang and twitched several times in its dying state.
This number should be about the same.
German crossed the carnivorous flower bud corpses on the ground and planned to meet up with Bisji and Xiaodi, but he looked around the dense forest and did not see their figures.
The dense forest suddenly became quiet.
"Biscuit? Xiaodi?"
Germain called out his companions' names and walked around, observing the footprints and traces of battle they left behind. They were indeed nearby, but they themselves were gone.
Although the three of them had just acted separately, they were close to each other and could respond to each other.
Even if they were attacked by carnivorous flower buds or some other monsters, Germain should not have been unable to hear any movement.
"Until twenty seconds ago, they should have been nearby."
"Then, at that moment, the two were attacked by something, and this attack took them away from here instantly without making a sound."
"A spatial ability that can force transfer and teleport?"
Germain expanded the range of the "circle" and looked around vigilantly.
Although he did not have a "circle" with a radius of nearly 50 meters like Kate, it was also 10 meters, which was larger than the "circle" of about 4 or 5 meters of Nobunaga of the Phantom Troupe.
The radius of the "circle" does not represent the level of combat power, but it definitely represents the level of reconnaissance ability.
He moved cautiously, and the "circle" covered him as the center. It would start to explore the surrounding area every once in a while. Soon, he noticed something unusual at his feet.
On a pile of weeds that Germain had not stepped on, a piece of it suddenly appeared like a puzzle, revealing an elliptical black hole.
"Is this it?"
Germain slowly squatted down and looked into the elliptical black hole, but he could not see anything except the dark color.
"Biscuit? Xiaodi? Are you in there?"
He tried to shout, but got no response.
Then, the elliptical black hole began to shrink, like the mouth of some creature.
"Automatic trap?"
"Even if the prey is not caught, it will shrink within half a minute until it disappears without a trace. It seems that they are most likely teleported away by it."
"Do you want to go down and find them? Or wait here?"
"If possible, I still don't want to pay the price of two deaths in the first team journey, so let's go and find them."
Germain took the initiative to extend his right index finger and lightly touched the elliptical black hole.
Immediately, he felt a sharp pain in his fingertips like an electric shock, and a suction force comparable to that of a "bulgy fish" came over him.
Whoosh!
Distortion, change, and apparition.
Germain first felt his feet empty, and the feeling of weightlessness came over him, and then the whole world he could see was immersed in darkness, as if he was immersed in an ink bottle.
A second later, his feet touched a hard surface similar to the ground again, but it was still pure black in all directions, without a trace of light.
Germain's "circle" was still radiating, and the back and forth of his mind energy told him rough information, that is, obstacles in front, behind, left, and right, and whether there were any moving objects.
Now he was like a bat in a cave.
"Pressure +6"
The fleeting projection of the "Hunter Badge" could not be the light source here, because it was actually only visible to Germain and did not interfere with the outside world.
He moved carefully, and his toes kicked something, making a crisp rolling sound.
"Let me first confirm what environment I am in. My "circle" still has limitations and cannot accurately outline everything around it. At this time, my eyes are more useful."
German materialized a flamethrower and spit out a small tongue of fire in front of him. The orange flame allowed him to see clearly what he kicked with his toes.
It was a skull, relatively flat, with sharp teeth curved into the mouth at the forefront. From this point of view, it was probably the skull of a venomous snake.
In addition, there were more bones piled up around, including spines, ribs, metacarpals, tibias, coccyx, etc., obviously belonging to different species of beasts.
And what held these bones together was a body about two meters wide and about The three-meter cave tunnel has relatively flat stone walls on both sides, and stalactites are densely covered on the upper and lower planes.
"A slaughterhouse and cemetery similar to the muddy land, but this time it is in the cave..."
Jerman moved the nozzle of the flamethrower, and the darkness around him was receding where the flames flew in the air.
He squatted down, searched among the piles of skulls for a while, and then stood up.
"Biscuit and Xiaodi should not be dead yet. Even if they are dead, it is unlikely that they will be eaten clean by the owner here so quickly, leaving only bones."
"So, the three of us are most likely teleported to different places."
After making a judgment, German looked at both ends of the cave tunnel, randomly chose the left side, walked over, and then extinguished the flamethrower.
The flamethrower consumed too much gas, so German didn't dare to keep it on, lest he couldn't squeeze out any gas when he really needed to use his mind power.
Fortunately, he was prepared. He found a flashlight in his backpack and turned it on. A radial beam of light illuminated the road within a few meters.
"Pressure +6"
After walking in the dark for a while, German was reminded by the projection of the "Hunter Badge" again.
"It seems that I can't stay in the dark for too long. The darkness will continue to accumulate pressure for me. Even if there is a certain range of light sources, it will only slow down the speed of accumulating pressure."
Suddenly, he faintly heard some rustling and fragmented sounds, far beyond the sensing range of his "circle", echoing between the stone walls.
It was the sound of a group of small creatures running.
German pursed his lips, tightened his voice, and slowly approached.
The tiny sounds paused for a moment, then suddenly changed direction and ran towards German. The sound became louder and louder, like the sound of a thick hemp rope dragging on the cement floor.
The next moment, they entered the range of German's "circle".
German identified their outlines and sizes. Each one was the size of a palm, with a rather fat body and a small head and limbs, and felt quite flexible.
This should be a group of rats.
And this group of rats never appeared in German's field of vision. They were running in the stone wall, where there was a path for them.
The intuition of danger came like a needle, and German raised the flashlight and swept it to his side.
The stone wall there expanded into an elliptical black hole, and first heard a chirping sound from it, and then saw dense, dark green eyes.
They spewed out of the black hole like a burst water pipe, making a creepy scream and pounced on German!
