They continued forward.

The scent of blood and flesh constantly filled their surroundings.

Bai Youwei covered her nose for a while, probably feeling she really couldn’t manage not breathing, so she simply lowered her hand and grudgingly accepted the air here.

After walking forward for a stretch, they indeed vaguely made out the outline of an elevated bridge, its body similarly covered in flesh.

At the same time, they also saw some other things.

…Those were a group of creatures like skinned fetuses, with enormously large heads and particularly short, thin limbs.

They climbed all over the flesh bumps, gnawing with rustling sounds. The wounds they bit through oozed pus and blood, sticky fluids, and the pink-red flesh turned black-purple from corrosion.

Bai Youwei felt so disgusted she wanted to vomit.

She couldn’t help but think of the movie “The Lord of the Rings” from over a hundred years ago. There was a character called Gollum that resembled this thing!

No… that wasn’t right either. This thing was even more disgusting!

Gollum at least had a pair of bright big eyes, but this thing—she looked for ages and couldn’t find where its eyes were!

“What the hell are these things?” Tan Xiao couldn’t help but speak. “Alien babies?”

As soon as he spoke, those red creatures seemed to sense the disturbance and suddenly looked toward them in unison!

On their faces, aside from a split-open mouth, there was nothing!

“Holy crap…” Tan Xiao sucked in a breath.

Instantly!

Seven or eight monsters crawled over!

Those limbs were thin and small, seemingly without much strength, but climbing on the flesh bumps they were like stick insects, crawling incredibly fast!

Tan Xiao didn’t even have time to curse! He directly grabbed his baseball bat and sent one flying with one swing! Another swing smashed one to pieces!

They really would shatter!

The sensation was like bursting a blood bag—they dissolved in one hit, melting into the flesh below, not even leaving a bone, only making the bloody stench unbearably strong!

Teacher Cheng wielded his cane as a weapon, nervously swinging continuously without much technique, yet he also repelled several.

“Everyone be careful!” He called out a warning. “These things might be poisonous. Everyone try not to have direct contact with them!”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier, Old Cheng!” Tan Xiao smashed a monster’s head, caught off guard as blood splashed on his face—hot and fishy!

He was so disgusted he stuck out his tongue: “Ptui! Ptui ptui ptui ptui ptui!!!”

The monsters looked terrifying and moved agilely, but they were small and fragile. Even with seven or eight surrounding them, they could manage.

Pan Xiaoxin was protected in the middle, his face currently deathly pale.

Even though he’d made every possible preparation before coming, he hadn’t expected this group to be so fierce! Less than five minutes in the maze and they were already brawling with monsters! And… even the sixty-year-old grandfather was vigorously killing several!

Among everyone, only Bai Youwei performed somewhat normally, sitting motionless in her wheelchair like a delicate young lady.

This brought slight comfort to Pan Xiaoxin, the elementary student.

The last monster was stepped on by Shen Mo.

He controlled his strength, grinding on its slippery head without killing it, frowning as he said: “Everyone come look at what this is.”

Cheng Weicai squatted down to carefully observe the monster, using his cane to probe the teeth in its mouth.

“The body naturally contains some kind of toxicity that can corrode protein and fat, but when applied to us, the effect doesn’t seem very obvious…”

Teacher Cheng turned his head to look at Tan Xiao’s unharmed face, then lightly poked the monster’s head with his cane.

Unexpectedly, one poke created a hole, and the monster immediately turned into a pool of blood under Shen Mo’s foot.

Teacher Cheng froze. “…Well, the head is abnormally fragile—should be their weak point. They like to appear in groups. There are probably many more in the maze.”

Shen Mo asked Bai Youwei: “Any thoughts?”

Bai Youwei looked disgusted. “Too revolting.”

Shen Mo: “…”

Bai Youwei repeated with an ugly expression: “Too revolting… too revolting…”

It seemed their strategist had suffered quite a shock.
