Chapter 22: Games in the Cave

The rustling sounds continued one after another, and everyone in the dark mine was already in danger.

Everyone involuntarily became quiet, for fear of something coming from the darkness, which made the sounds in the cave appear clearer, mixed with the pounding heartbeats of people.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow flashed from the corner of the cave and passed somewhere among the crowd.

One of the miners lost his voice before he could shout.

"ah--"

"Gudong."

This was followed by the sound of something being swallowed and food being crushed.

In the tense atmosphere in the cave, which was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, everyone heard the swallowing sound and it was clearly visible.

Suddenly, people's fear was almost uncontrollable.

The noisy crowd involuntarily rushed towards the exit of the mine.

Hart squeezed into the middle of the crowd, tried his best to keep his voice steady and said: "Don't be nervous, everyone. Once you see anything abnormal, throw your spear there."

"It's just a cowering beast in the dark. All we need is..."

"Gudong."

As if he was deliberately slapping him in the face, before Hart could finish his words, there was another clear swallowing sound.

I don’t know which unlucky guy lost his life.

Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar, fear suddenly broke out, and the desire to survive overwhelmed everything else.

"No, don't eat me!"

"There are monsters! There really are monsters!"

"Run!"

"Fuck, get out of my way! Don't get in my way."

Screams and noises were heard endlessly, and the entire mine was turned into a complete mess. Even the overseer's whip could no longer drive the chaotic crowd, and even the overseer himself wanted to sneak away.

"I want to live."

"We're almost there, just go out and you can..."

And in this chaotic situation, in this noisy and chaotic sound, no one knows how many people were swallowed up silently in the darkness.

However, just as the first group of people climbed up desperately in an attempt to escape, the huge figure had already struck from the darkness.

"ah--"

The leading group of people were immediately enveloped by the figure, and then disappeared without a trace.

Under the brief illumination of the torch, people only saw a green giant passing by.

Immediately afterwards, the place where several people were standing became empty, and even the light of the torches was extinguished and fell into darkness.

The people behind did not know the situation and continued to crowd forward.

The people in front had learned from the past and did not dare to step forward, but they were pushed from behind and had to bravely explore the way forward.

The sound of swallowing was drowned out by the noise of the crowd.

Hart looked at the situation in the cave, sweat dripping from his forehead and down his chin. He almost fell into despair.

How to go, how to escape?

That monster only needs a moment to swallow a person.

It only needs to guard the entrance of the cave, and people will be sent over one by one to fill its insatiable, bottomless pit-like belly.

"Throw the spear forward!"

"Kill that monster!"

The miners in a desperate situation had no other choice but to obey the orders of others and throw their spears endlessly into the darkness.

However, all that was heard was the crisp sound of the spearhead hitting the rock.

People roared and cried, and the deep darkness seemed to them to be a symbol of death.

Suddenly, hoarse laughter came from the darkness.

"Humans, your little tricks are really funny."

"I've eaten three giant bats, two goblins, and eight humans today, but I think my belly can still hold all of you."

The monster slowly swam out of the darkness, and the faint light of the torch barely revealed its true face.

The monster only exposed its ferocious head, its vertical pupils glowing dimly in the dim mine, and the huge long horns on both sides of its head that bent back to its head were particularly conspicuous.

The slightly opened huge mouth alone could probably swallow several people at once.

Its slender body covered with strip-like scales looks like a combination of a crocodile and a centipede, with many legs that stretch into the darkness.

Under the flickering firelight, a shuddering smile appeared on the monster's ferocious face.

"I don't want to miss this opportunity. The food delivered to my door is enough to fill my stomach."

"No, don't eat me!"

"It's over! It's over!"

"We are all going to die!"

"Help!"

"It, it's coming!"

People panicked and retreated desperately, crowding into groups, trying to escape from this hell.

Stamped, pushed, screamed.

However, the monster just followed the crowd leisurely, crawling like a shepherd driving his sheep, occasionally eating one or two people.

"I wouldn't mind playing a game with you."

"Escape, run as much as you want..."

"I'm still very interested."

The monster's hoarse voice sounded to people like the call of death, causing them to fall into the abyss of fear.

"Snapped!"

Kru's arrow struck the monster.

Weak spears, small arrows, and inferior long swords, human counterattacks hit their striped scales, looking so weak.

Even if he was lucky enough to break its armor, the wounds would seem so insignificant compared to its huge body.

Scar, the barbarian, finally couldn't stand this cat-and-mouse game any longer, so he stopped and turned around to face the monster.

However, the strong body he was proud of was as small as a mouse in front of the monster.

Scar took a deep breath, holding the hammer and yelling: "For so many years, I have been the only one who played tricks on others, and I have never been played as a fucking toy by others!"

"Ahhh——"

Scar roared, panting, his eyes red-this is the sign of the barbarian's rage.

The irrational barbarian raised his war hammer and rushed towards the monster's huge body, like a knight rushing towards a windmill.

But facing the barbarian rushing madly, the monster did not move at all, but just watched him with interest, as if watching an interesting toy.

"Frenzy strike!"

Scar shouted, exerted his arm muscles, and hit the monster's chest hard.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Hammer after hammer, hitting the monster.

It actually broke a few scales on the chest, causing it to ooze out a trace of blue blood.

"Interesting human, I will give you a good way to die."

The monster laughed strangely, ignoring the damage caused by the barbarian, and its body slowly crawled on the ground.

"Ah! Ahhhhh——"

The barbarian was furious when he heard this, and hammered madly without hesitation, again and again.

But soon he found that the monster's huge body curled up unconsciously and entangled him.

Or the word "entangled" is not quite appropriate. To be more precise, the monster trapped him with its huge body, like a blue-green prison cell.

Scar felt that the space around him was getting narrower and narrower, and his muscles were constantly squeezed, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

"I didn't expect that I... was suffocated to death."

This was the last thought that flashed through his mind.
