Escape from Paradise (XIX)
The fleet sailed away, and the girl struggled in the water. A shadow suddenly appeared behind her. She screamed and her body suddenly sank inward. A few strands of hair flew up and deep red blood spread all around.
Xu Wei watched from afar the small wooden boat that remained in its original place.
She directed a left-wing ship: "Move to the back."
Someone died in the back, and the boat refused to come over. A tourist who was not named nearby interrupted: "Didn't you say you were going to protect us? Someone just died, and you want others to take the blame for you?"
Xu Wei glanced at him coldly, and the latter immediately fell silent and lowered his head in a submissive manner.
She deliberately put on a cold face and said, "I don't want to repeat it again. If you don't want to listen, get out. Don't be so ungrateful."
The people on the boat were still unwilling to come, and even rowed out muttering: "If you don't want to come, then don't come. Bah, you really take yourself seriously. Let's go out..."
They seemed to feel that the danger was over and were rowing out on their own.
Xu Wei watched coldly.
The two rowed their boat a few meters outward and slightly approached the pennywort leaves, but nothing happened.
The person at the bow even had the courage to touch the leaves, pulled down a bit of the tender green leaves and left them in the water. Seeing that there was no movement at all, his expression suddenly became arrogant.
He snorted at Xu Wei contemptuously and cursed loudly with his fellow passengers.
"What a thing! You pretend to be like this, but you still want to hurt people!"
He also advised everyone else to leave.
"Let's go quickly, before she kills us all! I'm fine, maybe those monsters that just appeared were summoned by her!"
He talked a lot, but no one else came over, and instead they accelerated and slid away from them.
His fellow passengers pointed behind him in fear: "There is...there is..."
An extremely long tail suddenly swung out, overturning the boat with a loud bang. The two men fell into the water, screaming in fear.
There was a commotion in the shadows; something was rushing towards them through the thicket of stems and leaves.
"ah!!"
The giant gecko leaped down from the high pennywort leaves, dug its claws into one of the women's shoulders, lowered its head and bit off her head, the blood spurting out from the corpse's neck splashed all over the people nearby.
"Help! Help! Save me!!" The man who was still alive wiped the blood from his face and swam desperately towards the fleet, his expression ferocious with fear.
Xu Wei said indifferently: "Keep rowing."
The gecko floated on the water and finished eating the corpse in a few bites. If it was not full, it would float a few steps, open its mouth and swallow the swimming person alive.
Someone on the boat gasped.
Xu Wei pointed to a boat on the left wing and said, "Row to the back."
Although the people on this boat were extremely reluctant, they still slowly blocked the back of the central boat.
There were six ships left, with a total of fourteen people on board, which meant a lot more people survived than Xu Wei had expected.
The boat was already halfway through its journey, and apart from the recurring frog monster, no other monsters had appeared along the way.
"Oh, thank goodness you're here," the pretty woman on the right boat complimented, "My name is He Yu, may I ask what is the name of this... this capable person?"
Xu Wei looked at her with interest: "Li Xia."
"Sister Li, thanks to you, the people on the shore must be regretting it after seeing us rowing so far! They should have listened to you and left quickly!" Another man on the same boat with the woman responded, showing his big gold teeth.
He looked to be around 30 or 40 years old. Apart from one gold tooth, his mouth was blackened and his skin was sallow. He was a typical smoker.
The characters of these monsters in the copy are quite well-developed.
Xu Wei was bored. He supported his face with one hand and reached into his waist bag with the other hand, listening to the compliments from others and getting familiar with the appearance of the people on each boat.
Seeing that they had almost finished talking, she raised her hand and made a downward gesture: "Shh, there is a sound."
After everyone fell silent, the rustling sound among the stems and leaves became clearer and clearer, coming from all directions at the same time. The leaves of the pennywort, no matter how far or near, were all shaking violently, as if a torrential rain was pouring down, knocking the leaves askew and collapsing.
Xu Wei urged in a deep voice: "Slide."
She heard countless tiny crawling sounds.
The nearby grass leaves were suddenly lifted up, and a giant dark green python appeared in front of us. At the same time, geckos, long-nosed fish, frogs, and even flies and poisonous insects that were flapping their wings and stumbling around came out from between the leaves, staring at the tourists on the boat with eager eyes.
I finally know where the monsters that appeared a few nights ago came from.
Xu Wei took his time and took out three cards and stuck them on his body.
The other tourists were so frightened that they rowed desperately, speeding up the boat. Some were so frightened that their nerves were numb and they stood still, causing their fellow boatmen to row in circles.
Xu Wei shouted, waking up the two people, and the remaining few who were still in a daze became the first batch of meals.
All the monsters that approached were controlled by the skill, but their huge bodies still caused considerable difficulties for sailing. Xu Wei directly took out the weapon attached to the nameplate and took advantage of the narrow space on the boat to kill a lot of monsters.
By the end of the fight, they could no longer tell whether it was the blood of the giant monsters or someone on the boat being dragged into the water. After several fierce battles, they reached the other side.
Xu Wei took off his blood-stained school uniform, rubbed it on his head, and handed it to Lu Fanye to wipe.
There were eight people left, and Da Jin Ya and He Yu were both alive.
The blood on her face had not yet been wiped clean, and it smelled very fishy. Her expression was sullen, and she looked very difficult to deal with.
The others were already intimidated by the swiftness of her sword when she killed the monster, and dared not say anything more.
"We have finished touring the pennywort pond. Please take the stairs to the second level." The electronic sound brought a bit of joy, and a dark black staircase suddenly collapsed from the second wooden floor.
The tourists looked at each other, and finally glanced at Xu Wei.
Xu Wei sneered: "Why? You want me to go too?"
Do you really think she is here to protect people?
No one moved, so she simply pulled a young man up and pushed him up: "Go up, or I'll take you up."
The man walked up with shaking legs, looking back every few steps, his eyes full of despair.
When he reached the end of the stairs, he suddenly heard a deafening child's voice.
The little girl laughed loudly, as if talking to someone next to her: "Mom, mom, the doll in the tank can move!"
"Oh?" The woman's tone was meaningful as she approached with heavy steps.
The man was trembling all over, looking up in horror, and stammering vaguely.
“Help…Help…”
A giant hand with crimson nail polish reached over quickly, grabbed his entire body, and with a light press of its index finger, the man's head was severed. Blood splattered on its fingers, and the depth of the blood could not be distinguished from that of the nail polish.
The man's body was lifted far away and out of sight. The chewing sound only lasted a few times before stopping. The woman said in a pleasant voice, "Oh, it smells so good. Honey, I found a good place. Stay here with mom and wait and see if there are any more delicious foods?"
Xu Wei felt a chill when he heard this.
"No - Mom, let's go to other exhibition halls. This is not fun. I want to go to the pennywort pond."
"Okay, okay, mom will go with you--" The woman was helpless.
The footsteps went farther and farther away until they disappeared. The sound of wind whistling from above seemed to indicate that the second floor was empty.
Big Gold Teeth said happily: "Let's hurry up and go, otherwise someone else will come soon!"
The others responded one after another, and Xu Wei did not stop them, just watched them go up coldly.
The first person to leave climbed up to the second floor, looked around, and also looked happy: "There's really no one! This is a glass tank. We can climb over the glass tank and take the stairs to the third floor!"
"Come on!" he called to the people behind him.
This time, a few more people went up and lined up to block the stairs. Someone was stepped on and cursed the people behind him.
Xu Wei sighed.
A huge shadow crept down over the heads of the crowded little people, tall and heavy, with loose brown hair even hanging down the stairs to the first floor.
The red lips were wide open, and the pituitary gland could be seen protruding from the mouth. The sharp teeth still had traces of the flesh and blood of the previous person. Saliva flowed from the corners of the mouth, dripping onto the person who was cursing.
He opened his eyes wide, looking at the huge mouth that was covering him, and with a sweep of his tongue, his scream was drowned out by the satisfied licking sound.
This time the crisp bones were chewed loudly. The woman swallowed the chewed flesh with satisfaction and burped loudly.
"Wow, little dolls really come out. Mom is so awesome." The little girl's voice sounded beside her.
"It's a good idea to bring your baby to the park today. When they show up again, mommy will grab one for you to eat."
Da Jin Ya wanted to move forward but he took several steps back and almost fell into the river.
The sound of the wind was not because the room was empty, but because of the woman standing quietly above, breathing with her mouth wide open.
He couldn't help but shiver and looked at Xu Wei for help.
The latter stared at the brown hair that fell on the stairs in a trance.
"Ah! My hair!" The woman who was lowering her head waiting for a new wave of food screamed in pain. She suddenly raised her head and a large clump of hair fell off her head.
"Who did it! Who did it!!"
"I know, it must be you damned things! A bunch of fleshworms that can only be eaten by humans!!"
She was extremely angry. She stretched out a strong arm from above and opened her palm wide to grab the crowd indiscriminately.
Xu Wei snapped his fingers.
"Drip, drip, drip..."
The familiar countdown to detonation was particularly harsh. After a bang, the woman screamed hysterically.
"My hands! My hands! I'm going to kill you!!"
Her wrist was completely broken, and the blood almost covered the little people's ankles. There was a rumbling sound above her head, as if the woman was pounding the ground in a rage.
"Mom, what smells so good? Is it the smell of your blood? Baby hasn't tasted it yet..."
The woman howled again, as if her daughter had bitten her. She was so angry that she smashed things everywhere on the second floor.
The glass jar was smashed.
Lu Fanye quickly controlled Xu Wei, whose desire to kill was rising, and put a nameplate on her.
"I know, I know," the woman muttered crazily, "Mom has raised you for so long, baby, don't you want to repay me? Mom is injured and feels very uncomfortable. I need to eat..."
"Mother?"
The next second, the sound of chasing was heard overhead. The little girl couldn't outrun her mother, and after being caught, she screamed and struggled loudly.
"Crunch, crunch..." The teeth-aching chewing sound came from the other end of the room.
Big Gold Teeth seized the opportunity and ran up quickly.
When the others saw that he was fine after running out, they quickly followed him.
Xu Wei hesitated and glanced at Lu Fanye.
She was worried that it was just another strategy of waiting and waiting.
"This chewing sound doesn't sound like an imitation," he held her hand and said calmly, "It doesn't matter even if it is an imitation. You did a good job before and left many people behind."
"Run together."
He ran upwards and Xu Wei followed him. As soon as they reached the stairs, they heard Big Gold Teeth's shrill howl.
