Terrifying Crack, Strange Creature
The golden light receded and the mucus on the unknown creature had also disappeared without a trace!
It was a creature that had absolutely never appeared on Earth before. It was small in size, similar to ordinary domestic cats. However, its body was black in color and covered with black scales, only its pair of eyes were a dazzling golden color. Its wings were covered with scales and two tails seem to be saying how extraordinary this unknown creature was!
Gu gu~~
The unknown creature cooed twice, but there was no longer the previous joy in its voice. Instead, it was… hunger. It seemed to be extremely hungry and was eager to eat. Instinctively, it moved its feet and started to look for food in the surroundings.
Firstly, it went to the python's corpse. After sniffing it with its small nose, its golden eyes flashed with a trace of disgust before it ran away as if escaping. It seemed like the animal's corpse was not to its taste.
Soon after, the unknown creature came to the unconscious Xue Yue. When it gently sniffed around, its pair of eyes instantly lit up and it even cried out happily! Gu gu…
It immediately opened its mouth and took a bite at Xue Yue's right thumb. It had wanted to devour him like the black sphere, and just then, with a "shing" sound, a spike shining in silver suddenly popped out from his thumb and directly pierced the unknown creature's mouth.
Gu~
The unknown creature bounced off as if it was electrocuted upon its attack. After it jumped to one side, its four limbs were slightly bent as its eyes stared at Xue Yue. It would release warning sounds regularly from its mouth as it was on full alert.
That's strange!
The spike that appeared on Xue Yue's thumb was ten centimeters long and incomparably sharp. If it had pierced into the unknown creature's mouth, it was long enough to come out from the back of its head. However, looking at that creature, it seemed like… it was not injured at all!
What the hell was going on here?
Gu gu…
On full alert, the unknown creature stared at the spike while its eyes flashed with a cold glint. But shortly after, it seemed to have smelled an extremely enticing supreme delicacy and its small nose suddenly moved. Its golden eyes stared at the spike and it constantly released cooing sounds. Unexpectedly, it even salivated!
Drip!
Drip!
Its saliva dripped down like a string of pearls. The unknown creature could no longer resist the temptation and with a leap, it directly appeared at Xue Yue's side and bit on the spike. Its speed was extremely fast as if it had teleported!
It had moved from one place to another directly!
Kaboom!
The most unbelievable scene had happened. With a crack sound, the spike that appeared from Xue Yue's thumb had been directly bitten off.
Crunch, crunch, crunch…
The unknown creature seemed to have tasted a delicacy and it chewed happily. It also released a cooing sound similar to cats while munching on the spike with great energy.
Oh god, that spike was of a special metal that could easily penetrate the body of a half-shell turtle and a python. It was extremely hard.
However, a special metal of that hardness had been easily crushed by the unknown creature? How sharp and tough were its teeth?
Wuu, wuuu, wuu—
Meow~~~
After it finished the spike, the unknown creature cried out happily and bounced up and down on the spot. Shortly after, it opened its mouth and bit off the remaining spikes, chewing even more happily.
The broken spikes of five to six centimeters long went down its stomach very soon. The unknown creature then stared at Xue Fu's thumb and bit down on it. However, it was evidently well prepared this time. The instant the spikes came out, it had jumped far away.
Kaboom!
Just like that, a magical scene appeared in the dark underground cave.
There was an unconscious young man lying on the ground, beside him was a strange creature the size of a domestic cat and it was continuously devouring the spikes coming out from his thumb. After it finished eating, it bit on the young man's thumb again, causing spikes to pop out, and this repeated several times…
Eat, bite the thumb, spikes pop out, eat…
An unknown amount of time passed and the belly of the unknown creature was like a bottomless pit as it continuously devoured the spikes. Just as it was prepared to indefinitely repeat the process, all of a sudden—
Boom—
A loud sound came from the ground. Shortly after, an earthquake of 10 on the Richter scale happened. A terrifying crack suddenly appeared on the ground beneath Xue Yue and the moment it appeared, the crack rapidly moved to opposite sides. In an instant, it became a huge crack with a width of more than ten meters!
The crack happened to be under Xue Yue and the moment it expanded, he fell towards the crack uncontrollably, and soon, he would be falling into the crack that was of immeasurable depth.
Whoosh—
Reeeeeee!
At this critical juncture, the unknown creature suddenly let out a sharp scream and its wings covered in scales suddenly expanded, transforming into a streak of light. It instantly jumped into the crack that was still expanding.
It flew out the next second, but with a man in its mouth. The man was Xue Yue, and it was biting on his shirt!
Whoosh— The unknown creature was flying with Xue Yue in its mouth and cracking sounds continuously sounded from the ground. The crack was increasing in size and its surrounding ground seemed to be undulating like waves, rolling and gushing towards the surroundings.
The sudden change caused a big movement, causing the entire deserted island to tremble violently. Wild beasts rushed about, and birds flew in fright. It was basically a big mess!
...
The expressions of Thomas and Helen who were by the pool right now had also changed when the deserted island trembled.
"No good! It's an earthquake?"
"It could also be a volcanic eruption!"
The both of them were instantly terrified. If an earthquake or volcanic eruption were to happen on a deserted island like this, then it would simply be doomsday. It was a nightmare that would cost them their lives!
They were basically trapped in a hopeless situation!
"Helen, hurry up and run. Run towards the seaside! It's likely that this place will collapse soon!" While he said that, he threw away the wooden stick in his hands and ran towards the sea.
"Ahh! Alright… Thomas, wait for me!" After all, Helen was a girl and at this critical moment, she was scared out of her wits. She did not manage to run far before she tripped and fell to the ground.
"Thomas, don't leave me behind!" Helen cried out loud.
Thomas turned back and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he gritted his teeth and ran away alone, leaving behind Helen who was crying in despair.
"Thomas, no—"
...
The whole deserted island was just like a monster floating in the endless sea. At this moment, this monster was slightly shaking its body, causing the entire deserted island together with everything on it to shake violently.
As for the sinkhole…
As the source of the earthquake, the vibrations in the sinkhole were even more intense. There was constantly gravel and soil rolling down from the inner walls and falling into the bottom of the sinkhole!
Currently, a tremendous change happened inside the sinkhole. An impressively huge crack of unknown meters long and dozens of meters wide could be seen within the underground cave!
The depth of the massive crack was immeasurable. What's even more strange was, when the crack no longer widened, multi-colored bright lights were projecting out of the crack, illuminating the entire cave!
Bright lights?
Inside the underground cave of unknown meters deep, a huge crack was eerily split open, and bright lights were projected out of it!
This… What exactly was going on?
The unknown creature continuously flapped its wing in mid-air, blinked its round golden eyes, and looked at the crack and bright light that suddenly appeared in uncertainty. Evidently, it was also very confused!
Gu gu~~
Gu gu~~
Just then, a burst of strange noise sounded from the cracks and the unknown creature immediately raised its ears and stared at the crack warily. After dozens of seconds passed, the rumble sounds became louder and more urgent.
Finally, when the rumbling sounds reached their maximum, a black shadow poked its head out from the crack. When it did not discover any danger, it slowly flew up the air. Through the light emitted from the crack, it could be clearly seen that the black shadow that suddenly emerged was a strange-insect-shaped creature.
It was about ten meters tall, and its outer appearance was similar to an aquatic insect. It had four sickle-shaped arms, translucent wings on its back, much like crustaceans on Earth. Its bones grew outward and it had an alien-like, spindle-shaped crown.
With wings gently flapping, the strange-looking creature was flying in mid-air as it looked around its surroundings curiously. Very soon, it noticed the unknown creature above it.
At the same time, the unknown creature had blinked its round golden eyes and sized up the strange creature that suddenly appeared.
Both parties were sizing each other up!
Ji—
Suddenly, the strange creature let out a scream and jumped towards the unknown creature in an instant. The distance of ten meters was closed in the blink of an eye. It waved its sickle-shaped arm and fiercely struck.
Whoosh—
The wave of its arm caused a whistling sound, and it had unfortunately cut the connection point between the unknown creature and Xue Yue, which was his clothes!
"Shiii…"
Xue Yue's top was sliced apart and he directly fell towards the crack. The unknown creature panicked and dove towards Xue Yue, picking him up again by holding him in its mouth.
Whoosh—
The strange creature flew over again. Even though it was ten meters tall and had translucent wings, its flight speed was not slow in the slightest. Its huge body caused a terrifyingly strong wind, while its sickle-shaped arm cut directly towards the unknown creature.
Ding…
As if hitting against metal, the sickle-shaped arm instantly struck the unknown creature's head and resulted in a sound of metal striking metal. A terrifying power poured out, causing the unknown creature together with Xue Yue to be sent flying like a cannonball against the wall.
Thud!
A man and a creature were directly slammed into the wall before they fell to the ground. "Ah, my head hurts!" Xue Yue was finally knocked awake!
At that moment, the unknown creature seemed to be angered by the opponent's barrage of attacks and it bounced up from the ground. Four sharp claws suddenly popped out from its front paws and directly aimed at the strange creature that attacked repeatedly.
