Chapter 8939: Edible
A piece of darkness that has existed for who knows how many years is as calm as a calm water surface.
In the darkness, there are still clusters of green mists floating everywhere.
Some of these mists are very large, as large as ten thousand feet in radius, while others are only wisps, like cotton wool.
At this moment, there is a figure walking through the darkness, bringing ripples and breaking the tranquility here.
The figure is a middle-aged man, with unkempt hair, ragged clothes, and skinny. The biggest feature is that his body and face are covered with stains and scars of varying depths!
As long as the skin is exposed, you can see scars.
Those scars are like centipedes, crisscrossing on his body and face.
The scars on his body are okay, but the scars on his face are scary.
His eyes, mouth, ears and nose have completely disappeared, leaving only six scars of varying lengths.
In short, he has no orifices, which makes his whole face look extremely hideous!
Although he looks like a disabled beggar, he is extremely powerful.
Because every step he takes will cause several cracks in the space, but without making any sound.
The man seemed to be chased by some danger and walked very fast.
Even though he had no eyes, he would look back from time to time, as if looking behind him, fearing that he would be caught up.
But behind him, looking at the endless distance, there was nothing at all.
"Ugh!"
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came out of the man's mouth, and his body, which was originally running, not only stopped immediately, but also disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
In front of the man, there was a piece of driftwood several feet long, which was moving slowly in the darkness, getting closer and closer to the place where the man was hiding.
When the driftwood moved closer, the man suddenly walked out of the darkness, raised his hand and slapped the driftwood from a distance.
"Bang!"
A powerful force hit the driftwood, but it made a dull sound of impact, and the driftwood turned around.
That was not a driftwood, it was a person who was unconscious!
However, after the man's palm hit, the unconscious person groaned, as if he was about to wake up.
There was a flash of light in the scars of the man's eyes, as if he was staring at the unconscious person and thinking about something.
After a few breaths, the man raised his hand again and flicked his fingers.
The scar in his palm was seen to break away from his palm and hit the unconscious person directly.
"Buzz!"
The scar suddenly turned into a centipede, and its size suddenly expanded, instantly covering the whole body of the unconscious person.
It turned out that those scars were some special runes!
As the runes covered the unconscious person, the man walked to the other side and waved his tattered sleeves.
It seemed that he wanted to take the unconscious person into his body, but for some reason, he failed.
After trying several more times and still failing, the man finally gave up trying, stretched out his hand to carry the unconscious person on his body, and continued to take big steps and walked forward.
But at this moment, in the darkness behind him, a green tentacle suddenly stretched out in a very strange way, silently extending to the man's back.
Although the man had no eyes, his senses were obviously very sharp. His body suddenly accelerated at this moment, barely avoiding the tentacle behind him.
Then, all the scars on the man's body seemed to come alive, wandering back and forth on his body.
The man's face twisted, but the speed was accelerated again!
"Bang bang bang!"
Behind him, there was a continuous sound of collision.
The darkness began to break continuously, and green tentacles stretched out from the broken places, baring their fangs and claws, and constantly grabbing the man's body.
Although the man was running very fast, carrying a person slowed down his speed, and he was almost caught by the tentacles several times.
The number of tentacles was increasing, densely packed, as if endless, as if they would not stop until they caught the man!
The man's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and he was extremely confused.
Because, according to past experience, he had already run to a safe area, and even if there would be such tentacles, there would only be a few.
But what happened today? How could such a large number of tentacles appear in the safe area?
Although he was confused, all the man could do now was to run forward even harder.
After running for a while, he would be home, and then he would be truly safe.
Another moment passed, and a piece of land about 100,000 feet in size appeared in front of the man.
It was a lonely piece of land, suspended in the darkness.
And on this piece of land, and in the darkness around it, there were also huge scars of varying sizes.
These scars were the same as the scars on the man's body, and they were slowly creeping.
As the man arrived, all the scars immediately rushed towards him and connected together, forming a big net.
"Finally saved!"
This thought popped up in the man's mind, and with one last sprint, he crossed the scar net.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Behind him, the green tentacles had already chased him, but when they touched the scar net, the net suddenly emitted golden light, like lightning.
"Pah pah pah!"
Once all the tentacles were hit by the golden light, they would immediately dissipate and turn into a faint mist, floating around.
The middle-aged man who had already stood behind the big net and finally stopped running, faced those tentacles, his chest heaving violently.
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly exploded in his ears: "Zha Jiu, what's going on!"
"What did you do to attract so many ghosts?"
The man obviously heard this voice and turned his head hurriedly.
A strange scene happened again. When he turned his head, the scars on his seven orifices actually moved quickly to the side.
Then, his eyes, ears, nose and mouth also emerged.
It turns out that those scars are not real scars, but seals.
In front of the man, stood an old-looking man, also in ragged clothes, bald, skinny, and covered with scars.
The man said to the old man: "Third Grandpa, I don't know what's going on."
"I went to look for resources as usual, but on the way back I encountered these tentacles, chasing me madly."
The old man raised his chin: "Who is that on your shoulder?"
The man then remembered the man on his shoulder, threw him to the ground, and said with joy: "I picked this up on the road!"
"This person's body is very strong, and it seems that he is not poisoned, so he should be edible!"
