The woman writhed on the ground all day.

His wrists and ankles were deeply chafed by the hemp rope, the skin and flesh turned inside out, and the blood seeping out mixed with mud and sand, making him look extremely wretched.

It looks like it doesn't even have the strength to struggle anymore.

Lin Fan bent down, grabbed the rope binding Liu Feifei's back, and lifted her up.

The muscles, tripled in strength, bulged instantly under the skin.

The woman, weighing several dozen kilograms, was lifted up with one hand, her feet dangling in the air.

Liu Feifei let out a terrified whimper, her body twisting violently.

Xu Zhixia stood inside the cave entrance.

The red marks from the five fingers on my cheek haven't completely faded yet.

She watched as Lin Fan carried Liu Feifei past her.

Liu Feifei's gaze swept over frantically, her cheeks puffed out as she let out muffled sobs.

Xu Zhixia didn't stop her; she was capable of settling this score.

Sacrificing one person to ensure the safety of others is worth it no matter how you look at it.

"I'm leaving the work upstairs to you!" Lin Fan said, knowing that Xu Zhixia was the only one up there who was intelligent and wouldn't act on emotion.

"Okay! Don't worry!" Xu Zhixia replied.

Lin Fan led Liu Feifei down the slope, where the beach was completely swallowed by darkness.

Only the waves crashed against the rocks, one after another, making a dull sound.

Lin Fan carried Liu Feifei for nearly fifty meters.

There is an open area between here and the edge of the forest.

The surroundings were open and there were no obstructions.

The moon was pressed down by thick clouds, plunging the entire beach into near-blind darkness.

This is a perfect location.

No matter which direction the monster comes from, it cannot use cover to launch a sneak attack.

He has a sufficient window of opportunity to react.

The arm loosened.

bang~

Liu Feifei landed on the sand.

Lin Fan reached out, pulled out the rag stuffed in her mouth, turned around and retreated to the back of a huge reef dozens of meters away, his figure disappearing into the darkness.

As soon as the rag left my mouth, fresh air rushed into my lungs.

Liu Feifei started coughing violently.

He coughed so hard it was excruciating, tears mixed with mud and sand smeared on his face, making his features unrecognizable.

It was all black on all sides; she felt as if she had been thrown into an endless void.

She could only vent her fear and anger by shouting, "Lin Fan! You beast who deserves to die!"

"You will all suffer the consequences!"

"..."

The foul language drifted far away on the sea breeze.

Lin Fan crouched behind the reef.

He didn't care at all what Liu Feifei was saying.

The louder and sharper the sound, the more easily the thing in the shadows will be attracted.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

The waves crashed in one after another, then receded.

The temperature on the sand surface dropped little by little.

Liu Feifei's voice went from sharp to hoarse, and from hoarse to cracked.

By the end of his tirade, he couldn't even utter complete sentences.

The hysterical cursing turned into intermittent sobs.

Apart from the waves, there was no sound on the beach.

This long, unresponsive darkness is more unsettling than ever before.

Nobody knows if that monster will appear, or when it will appear.

After Liu Feifei's voice stopped, the sounds from the woods became even more pronounced.

She writhed on the sand, each rustle of the trees in the wind sounding like the monster drawing closer. Liu Feifei was now terrified. "Lin Fan... come out... I beg you... let me go back..."

"I will never talk nonsense again..."

"Zhou Kai... save me..."

The only sound was the crashing of the waves.

Lin Fan remained motionless until that moment.

Shala...

A very faint rustling sound came from the edge of the woods.

The sound was extremely faint and muffled, completely obscured by the noise of waves crashing against the rocks, making it indistinguishable to the average person.

But Lin Fan heard it clearly.

Shala.

Second tone.

It is located at the ten o'clock position.

The boundary between the woods and the beach.

Lin Fan lowered his center of gravity, pressing his back against the rough rocky surface.

The line of sight was pushed to its limit.

A gray-black outline clung to the sand, slowly emerging from the darkness.

The distance was too great, and the clouds completely blocked out the remaining light source.

The specific shape is not clearly visible.

Only the extremely disproportionate skeletal proportions could be barely discerned.

His limbs were long and thin, while his forelimbs were disproportionately thick.

The back arched to an absurd height, with each vertebra protruding under the skin, twisting and writhing with every movement.

The thing didn't pounce directly on Liu Feifei, who was standing in the open space.

It has an extremely high hunting intelligence.

It extends its forelimbs and tentatively presses on the sand.

He moved his body forward half a meter.

Stop immediately.

Turn your head left and right.

Twist the neck to an angle that absolutely exceeds the limits of human bone structure and check both sides.

This beast is much smarter than I thought.

If Lin Fan rushes out now, at a distance of several dozen meters, given the explosive power that thing displayed last night, it will definitely have time to retreat back into the woods.

Once you startle the prey, finding its nest will be harder than climbing to heaven.

You have to wait until it bites the bait.

The moment its speed suddenly decreased as its hands were restrained by Liu Feifei's weight.

That's the only chance.

The gray shadow moved around, stopping and starting.

Every few steps, I would stop, scan my surroundings like a radar, and only continue moving forward after confirming it was safe.

Liu Feifei on the beach was completely unaware.

She had been starving all day and howling for hours, and her senses had become extremely dulled.

The night wind continued to cool her body, and she curled up into a ball, occasionally letting out a few muffled sobs.

His voice was broken and unpleasant, and the distance between them was getting closer.

Twenty meters.

Fifteen meters.

The gray figure suddenly stopped.

Its hind limbs are curled up and pressed to the ground, and its entire body is pressed down to the lowest point.

The muscles in my back tensed up in bunches, and the next second the sand exploded into a cloud of fine sand.

Its gray-black body stretched out and burst forth with incredible speed.

A distance of more than ten meters is almost just the blink of an eye.

Liu Feifei just turned over.

Face up.

A stench wafted over.

A gray-black face with dislocated and distorted features hovered less than ten centimeters from the tip of her nose.

His face was covered in short, gray fur. His nose was sunken, and his mouth was stretched into an exaggerated arc, revealing sharp, white teeth.

His dark, murky eyes, sunken deep in their sockets, stared straight at her.

Eyes facing each other.

Liu Feifei's pupils dilated to their maximum.

He froze on the sand, even his scream was delayed by half a second.

The next instant, a sharp gasp shot from deep within his throat, "Ah...!"
