Thorn nodded enthusiastically, his smile was almost about to split his face. At that moment, they suddenly heard some rustling next to them, as if something was speeding through the leaves.
Both of them were stunned. A look of happiness flashed in Eduardo's eyes. Luck was on his side! They had just been there for not that long, and they already met a Demon Spirit Beast. No matter how many they meet, all of them would die for him.
As he thought about it, he said to Thorn, "Take out your weapon! Don't let any beasts escape us!"
Thorn nodded. Suddenly they hear the sounds of gears moving. Eduardo stiffened, feeling like that sound was a bit strange. The next moment, he widened his eyes so wide that they looked like they were going to pop out of their sockets. It was because he saw a massive pincer rapidly approaching him.
Eduardo jumped up and immediately avoided it. However, he had just taken two steps back when he felt his leg tighten. Looking down, a long and sticky thing had wrapped around his leg, causing Eduardo to be immensely shocked.
He shouted out, "What is this thing!?"
He did not think too much about it since it was a dangerous situation. He took out his weapon and cut it to release his leg.
His sharp sword slashed at that thing, but it did not break at all. The sword ended up getting stuck on it, causing Eduardo to be completely stunned. Right after that, he heard even more rustling. When he looked up, his breathing stopped! What were those strange-looking things?!
More than ten beasts with human heads were in front of them. All these beasts had unique appearances. They looked at Eduardo and Thorn with a sharp glint in their eyes.
Three of them had toad-like bodies. They opened their eyes and spat out their thin and sticky tongues. That was when Eduardo realized what was wrapped around his foot!
Eduardo said. "So it's true!" Eduardo
had not believed what Fane had said just now, thinking that Fane had
been spewing nonsense. He thought that Fane had only been so detailed because it was a trap, and whoever fell into it was an idiot.
He thought that he was the smartest one, always on alert. Only then did he realised that Fane had not been lying! He had been the idiot!
At that moment, he heard a cry of agony by his side. Eduardo looked back and saw that Thorn's whole body had been captured by a tongue.
A spiked beast floated in front of Thorn. It slowly cut Thorn's body apart, and blood began to flow out. Blood stained Thorn's clothes, causing him to struggle and shout out in agony. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Eduardo was looking at it all and felt a chill throughout his body. As a chosen disciple, he experienced a lot of hardships. With all his experience, it was obvious what he needed to do next.
