Anna instantly understood Lu Li's intention, and her translucent soul gradually disappeared. She hid in the other world and observed the noise coming from behind the tree.
Using his cane to explore the ground in front of him, Lu Li continued to walk forward unprepared as if he ignored the movement behind him.
Rustling——
At the edge of the gnarled tree roots, the edges of a few fallen leaves turned up.
Anna's eyes widened slightly and she stood behind Lu Li to guard against the coming attack.
The hiding existence did not keep Anna and Lu Li waiting for too long. Lu Li's move away made her become agitated. After a few seconds, a being covered in mud suddenly jumped out from behind the tree, and quickly crawled towards Lu Li with all six limbs!
Rustling——
A dense crawling sound was approaching quickly from behind. Lu Li heard it but still didn't turn around.
"drink!"
Anna, who had been on guard for a long time, let out a soft drink, turned her palms towards the crawling figure, and a large network of telekinesis spread forward, blocking the way.
The crawling being rushed into the telekinesis network arranged by Anna, and the resistance it faced became dull and slow, until it almost stopped behind Lu Li.
Lu Li, who was waiting for the opponent to step into the trap, turned around at this moment, took the psychic gun out of its holster, and held it straight up to its forehead.
"Six hands...it's a six-legged savage...?"
Anna just saw clearly that what she controlled was the rumored existence, and she was a little frightened. She immediately couldn't maintain her heroic image and turned into that timid noble girl again.
His finger hooked around the trigger, but did not touch it. Lu Li was sizing up the existence that had been rumored for a long time.
It is similar in size to a human being, with no hair on its body. Its body is covered with a layer of dirty swamp mud, and its waist is wrapped with rags. This camouflage makes it almost blend in with the swamp.
What attracts attention is its upper body. In addition to the original pair of arms, it has another pair of arms at the waist of a human. The feet are still feet, and there is no such thing as the "six all hands" as rumored.
But it is understandable that four-legged savages and four-armed and two-legged savages sound less scary than six-legged savages.
This is not the only thing that is different from humans. Its joints are like those of arthropods, and the length of the upper and lower parts of its legs and hands are equal. This structure allows it to crawl faster, but it cannot stand upright like humans. The position of the eyes on the face is nothing.
No, just a pair of mouths that take up half of the face.
Do you rely on sound to identify directions?
The six-legged savage in front of it was restrained by Anna and could not move. It struggled a few times, and suddenly the corners of its mouth split open. The upper and lower rows of fangs filled with jagged teeth in the mouth suddenly began to rub against each other rapidly, making a sharp friction sound, as if in progress.
Some kind of threat.
It may also be to summon companions or mark Lu Li.
At this time, he should have pulled the trigger to kill the six-legged savage, but Lu Li put away his flintlock gun.
The holster blocked the whispers caused by the psychic gun, and the cold feeling on his body could not dissipate for a while.
Lu Li raised his cane, pointed it on the shoulder of the six-legged savage in front of him, and gave it a gentle push.
The comfort exerted on it instantly dissipated, and the six-legged savage stopped grinding his teeth, turned around, and fled quickly towards the way he came from.
"Why didn't you shoot?" Anna stared at the background of the six-legged savage's escape and asked in confusion.
"This is their home, we are the outsiders who broke in." Lu Li said, passing the cane from his left hand to his right, "And don't forget the reminder from those who seek knowledge."
"The swamp can hear things that don't belong to it?" Anna echoed those words. "But isn't that false?"
"in case."
Lu Li answered.
The issue between truth and falsehood is too big. The former has fatal flaws, and so does the latter. This makes Lu Li unable to distinguish which one is right.
Moreover, the rags wrapped around the waist of the six-legged savage made Lu Li a little concerned.
Is it imitating human behavior? Or is it spawned by wisdom?
Lu Li turned around and prepared to move forward. Suddenly, there was a dull sound of falling into the water behind him.
"Gala gala——"
The faint sound of grinding teeth sounded from behind the roots of the tree, it was clearer and more urgent than before.
Anna heard a hint of anxiety from grinding her teeth and looked at Lu Li questioningly.
"Go over and have a look."
Lu Li and Anna retreated to the roots of the tree. They saw the six-legged savage sinking deep into the water bubble that Lu Li had bypassed before. His six jointed limbs stirred up the viscous mire to prevent him from sinking completely.
Loud grinding sounds came from the mouth that occupied half of its face.
"Stepping on a trap in your own home? Pfft..." Anna covered her mouth and snickered.
Sensing the sound, the six-legged savage struggling in the water turned its face. There was nothing on that face except its mouth, but Lu Li and Anna could feel its pain at the moment.
"Maybe he wanted to stay away from us and didn't pay attention."
In any case, this scene instantly reduced most of the mystery and danger of the six-legged savages.
At least Anna can now face the other person directly.
The six-legged savage's struggle began to slow down. After its four jointed limbs were completely sunk into the mud, it lost the strength to struggle and sank faster, leaving only the upper part of its chest and two arms waving in vain.
A strong gust of wind suddenly passed over its head and stopped in front of its face.
Sensing the life-saving straw, the six-legged savage stretched out his two remaining arms, grabbed the cane with his sharp palms, and dragged his body outward.
Lu Li took a half-step back with his right foot, his center of gravity backward, and stepped back step by step to pull the six-legged savage out of the blisters.
There was no thank you, and there was no behavior similar to thanking you. The six-legged savage was like a beast that was extremely wary of humans. The moment it was pulled out, it dragged its tired body and fled to one side, far away from the sound, and fled deep into the jungle.
"Hey! It hurts..." Anna, who was hit by Lu Li with the handle of his gun, covered her head and didn't dare to shout anymore. She muttered to the back of the six-legged savage: "Don't step in the puddle again..."
She was a little dissatisfied with the six-legged savage who left without any behavior, especially when she was beaten by Lu Li for the first time. She pouted and said, "Why did you save it?"
"If you want to save me, just save me."
Lu Li shook off the mud left by the six-legged savages at the base of his cane, turned around and continued moving forward.
Anna was a little dazed, staring at Lu Li's back, and suddenly remembered that his attitude towards herself and ghosts was completely different from other people's.
Her eyes were slightly curved, she was really a man with a completely inconsistent gentleness hidden under the cold surface...
"Follow up quickly and find the target before it rains."
A calm voice came from the front.
"oh."
Anna came to her senses and chased after him.
…
Half an hour later, Lu Li and Anna had an additional follower in the swamp, who was approaching the bloody tentacles.
The mud on the six-legged savage that was secretly following them had not completely dried up yet. It followed Lu Li and Anna at a distance, keeping a distance.
"Is it following us to repay a favor?"
There is always an almost innocent romantic feeling in a girl's mind.
