Chapter 251 Counter World? Another world!
"Call"
"No, I have to take a break."
Tony leaned against a mottled and worn-out billboard, panting heavily, and then raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. More than an hour had passed quietly since their fierce battle with the vine tentacle monster.
The group of them first trudged through rugged rocky terrain, and then trekked through a vast and vast farm.
At this moment, they were very close to the location of the mountain that Winnie mentioned before.
Looking at the destination that was about to be touched, everyone relaxed unconsciously, looking for a cleaner place to sit down, and continued to eat jelly to replenish their energy.
Tony's eyes fell on the little slime that was sitting comfortably on top of Rango's head, constantly spraying jelly chunks at them, and he couldn't help but tap the frame of his sunglasses.
What is strange is that Jarvis's scan results showed that the little slime was just an ordinary piece of jelly, and no characteristics of any living thing were detected.
But the other person's eyes and mouth are so real, this is undoubtedly a living little life.
Tony shook his head helplessly. There were too many phenomena in this world that science could not explain.
Whether it is the minions in Rango's house or the little slimes that are providing them with food at this moment, their existence is beyond the scope of science.
"Winnie, smell Sharon's position again."
At this moment, Lango had lost interest in fighting the overwhelming monsters described by Quagma. Since the system has not judged these monsters as extraordinary creatures, it means that no matter how many he kills, he will not be able to obtain any trace of extraordinary energy.
This fight is in vain.
Instead of doing this, it is better to rescue the girl named Sharon as soon as possible, then close the door to the counter-world, and then go to the Hotel Transylvania to explore and learn about the strange secrets in this world that he has never known about.
Here, Winnie, who was sitting comfortably on Lango's shoulder, biting the little slime body, heard it, and once again brought the iPod to the tip of her nose and sniffed.
"She seems to be getting up"
Winnie closed her eyes and said while sniffing: "She is sitting on the ground now, with her hands around her knees, her head buried between her legs, looking down at the worms on the ground. Well, I think she must be hungry."< br>
"So the position hasn't changed? Are you still staying where you are?"
Lange asked confirmingly. After seeing Winnie nodding affirmatively, he immediately became energetic, clapped his hands and greeted everyone to continue on their way.
According to Winnie's previous description, they were very close to Sharon at this moment. What makes people a little confused is that they still haven't seen the mountain that Winnie mentioned before.
"GoGoGo!"
Lange patted everyone on the shoulders and cheered them up, "After this matter is resolved, I will treat everyone to a big dinner. By the way, there are the three of you"
He pointed to the few good friends Sharon had made outside who had collapsed on the ground and were panting from exhaustion, and said seriously: "When you see your little friend, if she doesn't want to come back, remember to say something nice. To impress her.”
"Pleasant words?" Li and the other three stared at each other with confused expressions.
Seeing this, Lange explained helplessly: "Just tell her how much you miss her outside, and ask her if she wants to live with you, study together, play together, etc."
"Oh~" Li suddenly understood and nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Brother Lange, we will definitely convince Sharon to leave here together!"
"."
Looking at their confident looks, Lango just shrugged noncommittally.
In fact, both he and Tony and others knew that once Sharon was rescued, she would most likely be closely monitored. Even if she is allowed to return to normal society, someone will be arranged to monitor her around the clock.
It's not because the other party killed the entire institute. To be fair, if Lango himself was imprisoned by a group of guys in white coats for many years of human body research, he would kill them all if he had the chance.
The main reason is that Sharon's ability to open the reverse world is a little too outrageous. There are countless monsters in it, and it looks like hell.
Who knows where this little girl got such incredible mental power.
After chatting for a while, everyone dusted off their butts and set off on their journey again.
It is worth mentioning that the three children, Lee, White and Anton, seem to really have a deep relationship with Sharon. After resting for a while, they gritted their teeth and continued to follow, regardless of the blisters under their feet.
Although they are young, their perseverance is indeed admirable.
Even Quagma, who had some opinions about them, couldn't help but look at them sideways.
Since they had easily solved the huge flesh-vine tentacle monster not long ago, everyone was more confident and unafraid of possible monsters, so their steps were much faster than before.
And this is indeed the case. According to Winnie's sense of smell, there is almost no strange smell within a few hundred miles of them.
Tony guessed that because these monsters share the sense of touch with the "Mind Flayers", after learning that the tentacle monster was no match for Lango and the others, the Mind Flayers might not want to provoke them, so they prepared to besiege them. The group of monsters issued instructions to evacuate.
This also resulted in them walking for an hour or two and only encountering one monster. Even the monster that Winnie mentioned not long ago that was attacking them from more than 200 kilometers away disappeared without a trace.
Time flew by while everyone was chatting and laughing.
Before long, they were less than a kilometer away from where Winnie said Sharon was.
Winnie sniffed the iPod again, inhaled all the scent that belonged to Sharon, and then threw it directly to Anton and the others behind her.
"Go forward for more than five hundred meters. When you see an abandoned residential area, turn left from the third intersection. You will see Sharon after four hundred meters."
"."
Everyone nodded in confusion and continued to move forward faster.
However, at this peaceful moment, the originally glowing red sky suddenly turned gloomy!
The space that was originally clear was now shrouded in a thick layer of haze.
Everyone noticed something strange and raised their heads to look at the sky. The next second, their faces showed unbelievable shock.
"Waltfak?!"
A giant spider of unimaginable size was hanging quietly above their heads at some point!
The size of this spider seems to be boundless. The six claw-like auxiliary legs on both sides of its body are each thousands of meters high. They are staggeringly thick and can be hundreds of meters wide.
The main part of it is completely hidden above the clouds, and the terrifying figure that looks like it comes from the abyss can only be vaguely glimpsed through the gaps in the clouds!
"Don't you smell it, Winnie?!"
Lango stared at the spider in the air with wide eyes. Even he had never seen such a huge creature.
When Winnie heard this, she also showed a confused look. She scratched her head and said in confusion: "I don't smell the smell of this thing at all, it just seems to appear out of thin air!"
"It's the Mind Flayer!"
Quagma's expression was solemn at this time, and he spoke slowly: "If I guessed correctly, it should be the mountain that Winnie smelled before. No wonder we haven't seen the mountain. It turns out that this guy has been hiding in the clouds. . I escaped from it last time. Be careful, this guy is not as easy to deal with as the tentacle monster just now!”
When Lango heard this, his brows furrowed as he looked at the super giant monster above that suddenly appeared but did not attack.
Although he couldn't see the opponent's eyes hidden above the clouds, Lango believed that the mind flayer must be observing them secretly.
Thinking of this, Lange winked at Mavis on the other shoulder, indicating to her to take care of Winnie and Li.
Then, without any hesitation, two blazing, high-temperature gazes shot out from his eyes in an instant, blasting fiercely into the sky!
Lango did not choose the six tentacle claws that were closer to him as the target, but directly hit the Mind Flayer's abdomen, which although he could not see, was clearly hidden above the clouds.
For his thermal sight, the distance is not a problem. Unless the opponent is really big enough to travel beyond the speed of light, there is no difference between one meter and hundreds of millions of meters in his thermal sight.
Unfortunately, under the expectant gaze of everyone, no blood or organs were seen falling after a second. Lango quickly withdrew his heat vision and his expression became confused.
They could all see that the mind flayer's body was above the clouds, but there was no feedback of any hit after the heat vision was fired. With the mind flayer's huge size, this is obviously impossible.
Then Lango changed his target and aimed his eyes at the Mind Flayer tentacles in the distance that were countless times thicker than the Leviathan beast.
However, a scene that shocked everyone appeared - at the moment when the heat vision was about to hit, its tentacles seemed to have self-awareness, and two holes instantly appeared on the thick jointed limbs, accurately avoiding Lango's heat vision. attack!
"Xie Te. What is this?" Everyone was dumbfounded, their faces full of astonishment.
Tony was no longer hiding behind everyone at this moment. He touched his chest lightly. In an instant, nanorobots poured out from the reactor in his chest like a tide, and quickly gathered into a set of Iron Man armor!
He stretched out his arms and aimed his palms at the Mind Flayer tentacles in the distance. Two micro-missiles roared out instantly and pierced the sky!
When the missile was about to hit the tentacle claw, the opponent seemed to be trying to repeat the same trick. Two holes were instantly opened in the tentacle claw in order to avoid the impact of the missile.
But how could Tony's weapons be avoided so easily? Just when they were about to hit each other, these two remote-controlled missiles exploded instantly!
Rumble——!
Huge flames rose up!
Huge flames rose into the sky, mercilessly devouring the huge tentacle, and instantly turned it into ashes!
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this, and they all saw the meaning of "that's it" in each other's eyes.
However, during this moment of relaxation, a warning came from Tony's armor: "Be careful! This guy's body is not solid!"
Lange was slightly startled after hearing this. Before he could think about the meaning of the other party's words, the Mind Flayer that originally stood above them suddenly dispersed, and its huge body instantly turned into countless tiny spores, covering the surrounding area like dark clouds covering the sun. In total darkness!
Tony had no time to say anything. The armor's arms quickly stretched out two gun barrel-like devices, spraying out blazing flames in an attempt to disperse the spores approaching them.
"So this guy's body is made up of countless of these spores?"
Lange looked at the spores flying in the sky, dyeing the surroundings pitch black, and was shocked, "This is too outrageous! Since it is composed of spores, how can it support such a huge size?!"
"Without support, they just float. It's the mind flayer's hive mind that holds them together!" Tony explained.
"Well, if I had known better, I would have brought Toothless with me." Rango sighed helplessly. If they had Toothless' fire-breathing ability, they might be able to deal with it easily, or at least break out quickly, but now...
His eyes shot out high-heat vision, but in this swarm of spores that blocked the sky and the sun, the two lasers were like the light of fireflies and could not play a substantial role at all. They could not even slow down the approaching speed of the spores.
At this time, Thor had already rushed out with Mjolnir. He jumped up high, holding the hammer in one hand, and swooped down from the air. The hammer hit the ground hard!
moment!
Silver snakes are flying!
Countless thick currents spread out in all directions with him as the center!
The spore creatures that were about to float in front of everyone were hit by the electric current and instantly turned into ashes, scattering all over the ground.
But the terrifying thing is that no matter how Thor sways thunder and lightning, these spores seem to be endless, besieging them one after another.
In just a few breaths, they were already approaching Lango and the others.
"Shet!"
Thor, who had been charging forward, suddenly uttered a curse word.
Once those spore colonies came into contact with his body, they clung to the surface of his skin like greedy leeches, ruthlessly sucking the life force out of his body.
As a member of the Aesir clan, Thor was unable to withstand this plunder of life force, let alone the other ordinary people in the team.
Lango quickly turned his head and saw that except for a few children who were safe and sound in Mavis's time-stop field, Quagma's body was already covered with spore groups.
After these spores sucked his life force, the skin on his body began to look gray and decayed.
Buzz—!
Lango did not hesitate to activate his heat vision, accurately evaporating the spores on Quagma's body. Then, his eyes fell on Yuumi who was hiding next to Mavis and nervously watching the outside world.
The situation in front of them is already very serious. The number of those spores is simply immeasurable. With their current methods, it seems that they cannot deal with it at all. If you want to escape unscathed, the only way is to jump into the grimoire together and escape to the world of Black Robe or Marvel.
But what worries him is that the spore monster called [Mind Flayer] has obviously been angered by them. If it discovers that they left and goes directly through the counter-world gate and enters the outside world, what will happen? If prepared, a large number of ordinary people may suffer.
Just as Lango was in a tangle, a green figure suddenly jumped from above his head.
Lango looked down and saw that the little slime that they had always used as a backup food was facing the overwhelming black spores, with its mouth bulging high!
The next second, under his incredible gaze, the little slime trembled, and with a sound of "Duang~", its size suddenly expanded by a full circle!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of "Duang~Duang~" could not be heard. In just a few seconds, the small slime that was only the size of a palm had turned into a huge green jelly more than ten meters high!
The big guy first blinked its little eyes cutely as usual, and then jumped up in the direction of Mavis and the others!
Bang!
When it fell, Mavis, Yumi, Winnie, Li and others had already been put into its body, and they were looking around curiously.
"Could it be."
Lango's eyes widened in surprise. Is this the real reason why Dracula asked the little slime to go with them?
Those old monsters have long known about the existence of this "Mind Flayer" in the reverse world?
Lange didn't have time to think too much. At this time, they were surrounded by dense spore groups. Just when the vision was about to be completely blocked, Rango shouted to Tony and the others: "Come to the slime! It can deal with these damn spores!"
After saying that, he flashed and was already in front of Quagma.
Quagma was waving his "light saber" at the moment, roaring around him. Although he is very aggressive, his "light saber" is powerless in the face of these tiny spores, and his body is already covered with spores.
Lango grabbed Quagma's neck tightly, and with one swift movement, he threw him directly into Slime's arms.
As slight ripples rippled on the surface of the slime, Quagma penetrated the green jelly coat and fell safely into the slime's body.
The black spores that were originally tightly attached to his skin seemed to have lost their strength and fell off his body one after another, falling on the surface of the jelly and being melted and absorbed in an instant.
Rango repeated his old trick, quickly came to Tony and Thor, and threw them one by one into the slime's broad body in the same way.
Finally, when he himself was about to be overwhelmed by the spore army, he jumped suddenly, sprinted and jumped into the slime's body.
"Call"
Everyone seemed to have experienced a life and death disaster at this moment, lying on the soft and elastic jelly layer, breathing heavily, and their faces were filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.
Interestingly, Lango originally thought that he and others would be trapped in this jelly like being trapped in amber, but after entering, he discovered that the inside of the slime's body was actually so spacious, like a huge green room.
They could clearly see the outside scene through the jelly surface, even though the outside was completely occupied by black spores.
And these spore groups seemed to be full of fear of the slime, and had no intention of getting close to it. They just surrounded it and kept a subtle distance.
However, the slime blinked its small eyes and suddenly opened its mouth.
The next second, an invisible suction force emitted from its mouth, and the spore groups were sucked into the slime's stomach one after another, as if being pulled by an invisible force.
"Fake."
Everyone in his stomach couldn't help but shrink back when they saw this. If this guy eats all these robes, wouldn't they also suffer?
But what surprised them was that the spores eaten by the slime did not appear in front of them, but seemed to be directly digested and nourished into the slime's body.
Under their gaze, the slime continued to expand in size, and in the blink of an eye it became a giant green jelly a hundred meters high.
"Yes——!"
"Haha! I knew this little jelly was not simple!"
"You don't have to tell me! Have you ever seen a jelly with eyes?!"
"Speak with respect! What jelly? They call it slime!"
"."
In Slime's stomach, everyone who was still a little flustered cheered excitedly.
They never expected that this seemingly inconspicuous little jelly would come out to save them in the end.
Time passed slowly, and just when Lango and the others thought that the slime would continue to expand like this and "eat" them all, the originally overwhelming black spores suddenly dissipated.
Just as inexplicable as they appear, they also appear extremely strange when they dissipate, as if they disappeared from this world in an instant.
At this moment, the little slime, which was originally only the size of a palm, has grown into a behemoth. Its height has penetrated the clouds. It is unknown how many spores it has swallowed, and its size is at least more than a thousand meters.
When the danger from the outside world was completely lifted, Lango looked around vigilantly. After confirming that it was safe, he took the first step, passed through the thick jelly layer of slime, and returned to the outside world.
Afterwards, everyone followed his footsteps and left Slime's arms.
"It's really thrilling."
Quagma patted his chest lightly, with a hint of fear in his tone. Just as he was about to continue speaking, his eyes suddenly locked under a dead tree not far away.
"Rango! That girl is Sharon?"
Everyone followed his guidance, and sure enough, under the dead tree, stood a little girl wearing a white top.
Her hair swayed gently in the wind, scattered on both sides of her face, but her delicate facial features looked extremely pale due to the lack of blood.
But what is strange is that her eyes are closed tightly, like a lifeless puppet.
"Yes, it's Sharon!"
Li, Anton and others behind her recognized her at a glance. Their excitement was beyond words and they almost rushed towards her impatiently.
Lango immediately stopped them when he saw this. Although this was his first encounter with Sharon, the strange aura exuding from the girl made him feel very uneasy.
"Hey, Sharon?"
He pondered for a moment, and then shouted towards the other side, "We are the partners Li, Anton and White called to rescue you. Are you okay?"
The sound echoed in the empty field, but there was no response.
Sharon's eyes were still closed, but she tilted her head slightly, as if listening to something.
Just when Lango was confused, Sharon's eyes suddenly opened!
At that moment, it seemed as if there was an invisible force that changed the color of the entire world in an instant!
Everyone's eyes were dazzled. The counter-world that was originally shrouded in blood red seemed to have been wiped hard by a huge eraser. The blood color quickly faded away, and the environment also underwent earth-shaking changes.
When they focused their eyes again, they saw a dilapidated and deserted street in front of them, surrounded by gray colors, and tiny particles falling in the sky like snow.
Lange raised his hand and touched it lightly, and saw those particles instantly staining his fingers black.
This is not a snowflake, but ashes after burning
Immediately afterwards, a piercing siren came from the depths of the town, breaking this dead and gray world!
(Sharon, from the movie "Silent Hill")
