Chapter 101: Chapter 80 Abnormal Incident (Ten Consecutive Updates on Shelf 8)

The sentry in the cave stood up, seemingly planning to go outside to relieve himself. To her surprise, his walk was unsteady, as if he were slightly drunk.

Unfortunately, he would never have the chance to walk out again. Just as his foot was about to reach the cave entrance, the cave suddenly sealed itself!

Soundlessly, it closed like eyelids shutting. Or perhaps more vividly, like a great mouth closing, it sealed itself.

Ning Xiaoxian lifted the tent flap next to her, and Deng Hao rushed out like a gust of wind, his face full of disbelief. The sentry beside him also witnessed this scene and had already blown the emergency whistle. The shrill whistle echoed in the rain, rousing everyone from their sweet dreams.

Trouble had struck! Everyone hurriedly got up, rubbing their sleepy eyes as they quickly ran out of their tents, just in time to witness the horrifying scene:

After the "cave" closed its giant mouth, the outer layer of stone began to fall off, gradually revealing a blood-red epidermis beneath. Under the diligent washing of the rainwater, the stone powder was quickly washed away, leaving the outer layer smooth and greasy, reflecting a faint red light in the darkness.

Above the "cave," two green lanterns lit up, scanning left and right, then shining straight towards the direction of the Cloud Tiger Trading Team.

This terrifying scene made the members of the merchant team involuntarily hold their breath. At this moment, how could they not realize that the cave itself was a great monster? Those green lights on the cave were the demon’s eyes!

Deng Hao’s orders had already gone out in a flurry, waiting for any movement from the monster to flee for their lives. Faced with a creature that could swallow an entire merchant team in one bite, the advantage of numbers vanished. As for their goods, surviving was more important; they could come back for them later!

The monster silently watched them for a while, then suddenly flashed a toothy smile—well, it was probably a smile—as it opened its big mouth with its jaws clenched tight. Then everyone saw the intersecting pale, sharp teeth inside. Those columnar stalactites were transformed from these sharp teeth.

Afterward, it awkwardly turned its head and moved its four legs, which were much smaller in proportion to its gigantic mouth, hopping away and even breaking two large stone pillars in the process. Every time it landed, it caused a small earthquake, causing ripples to undulate in the puddles on the ground.

This scene reminded Ning Xiaoxian of the moment the Tyrannosaurus Rex first appeared in the movie "Jurassic Park." But how could that dinosaur compare in size to the giant monster before her?

Seeing its walking speed, everyone swallowed their saliva in hindsight. The monster moved so slowly and noisily; no wonder it preferred to ambush.

It had been lying in wait here for who knows how long, waiting for its prey to come; the unfortunate Wolf Caravan had delivered themselves straight into its mouth. After the monster closed its mouth, there was not a single movement inside, and Luo You and others were almost certainly its meal now!

Over two hundred people from the Cloud Tiger Trading Team stood in the rainwater, silently watching it leave until their hands and feet were ice-cold before they thought to go back to their tents to rest.

Changtian sighed and said, "Let’s go back, the rain is heavy." She lowered her head and walked back to her tent, seeing everyone with flickering gazes, unsure what they were thinking.

It was her first time witnessing the scene of a "demon eating humans," her first time seeing over two hundred people perish right before her eyes, people she had met just yesterday. Although their interactions were not pleasant, it didn’t mean she was willing to watch them be eaten.

It was a magnificent wipeout, but this wasn’t in an online game; dead meant no more chances.

"This is the Belly Drumming Frog, slow-moving, skilled in camouflage, likes to sit with its mouth open waiting for prey." After a while, Mr. Yan spoke unhurriedly, and everyone carefully recalled that apart from its huge mouth, the monster indeed resembled a frog.

"I have read about it, this demon, to attract humans or beasts into its mouth, will place some injured animals inside or mimic hot springs or geothermal springs while emitting a strange fragrance. This scent, when smelled for a long time, can make the creatures in its mouth gradually fall asleep." It seems like the anglerfish in the depths of Huaxia sea also does this, placing a small lamp on its head or a few tiny insects in its mouth to attract small fish and shrimp, waiting for its prey then "gulp" swallowing them whole. But where is this Belly Drumming Frog’s spirit, which took an entire pot of over two hundred people!

The most unfortunate and unlucky member of the Wolf Caravan was Master Huo. He was, after all, a cultivator; had he been conscious, perhaps he wouldn’t have been caught. Unfortunately, ever since he fell into the hands of the whistle, he remained unconscious until his very end! So, it is indeed true that luck is also a part of strength!
