Rebirth

"Wait! Gerald, where is Max going?" Harold suddenly yelled out before realizing his mistake and immediately covered his mouth once again. His loud voice got the attention of Gerald and Alphonso, and they turned around to see Max walking off from their group and heading towards the corpse. 

'Oh no! He's not covering his mouth!' Gerald said to himself as he dashed towards Max, who seemed to be near losing consciousness because of inhaling the green gas. He arrived while stumbling in front of the corpse and held the corpse's cold hand.

Screeeee!

The vine monsters, which were lying still until now, opened their mouths and began to snarl loudly, which made Gerald flinch and move back. The monsters, however, didn't attack them, and instead, they slowly opened their mouths, and spat out multiple green eggs which were covered with spikes.
