Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist
Chapter 138 Alien Invasion 15
After climbing the cliff, they came to a rocky ledge of varying widths. At its widest point, two people could walk side by side, while at its narrowest point, they had to turn sideways and tiptoe to pass.
The rocks underfoot were slippery and had a pungent smell, a mixture of underground river vapor and canyon minerals.
One side of the rock shelf is a stone wall, and the other side is a deep abyss. The underground river below roars like the howling of hell. Occasionally, a stone slides down and it takes a long time before the sound of it falling into the water can be heard, which is terrifying.
Ahead lies a stone forest of strangely shaped rocks, their terrifying forms resembling grotesque monsters or twisted limbs in the dim light.
The Stone Forest was shrouded in mist, and strange figures seemed to flicker within it, creating a strong sense of oppression.
Beyond the stone forest lies an open area radiating an eerie glow. The ground is covered with glowing moss and slime, and the giant crystals on the rock walls refract light, creating an atmosphere that is both dreamlike and chilling.
Sensing the unusual movement, Su Lan's body tensed instantly, like an alert cheetah.
He pulled Shen Ying behind him as quickly as possible.
He quickly raised his weapon, squatted slightly, adjusted every muscle to the best defensive position, and stared intently at every possible direction from which the alien might appear.
Shen Ying gripped the laser dagger tightly in her hand, her palms already soaked with sweat, but she dared not relax her grip for a moment.
Her heart pounded like a drum, crashing wildly in her chest, the violent beating sound seeming to shatter her eardrums.
She bit her lip hard until it turned white, trying to suppress her fear.
The aliens darted out from the shadows like black lightning bolts, their speed astonishing, leaving behind a trail of foul stench.
Its gaping maw dripped foul-smelling viscous fluid, which, upon hitting the ground, corroded small holes. Its grotesque appearance resembled a demon from hell, enough to terrify anyone who looked at it.
Guns unleashed furious flames and deadly lasers in an instant, raining down on the alien. Beams of light crisscrossed the darkness, illuminating this land of death.
Sparks flew everywhere in the canyon, and the heat from the explosion hit people in the face, making their cheeks burn.
Gunshots, the alien's roars, and the sounds of weapons striking the alien's body mingled together, creating a deafening symphony of death.
Amidst the hail of bullets, a team member was unfortunately struck by the alien's claws, his protective gear was instantly torn apart, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
He screamed, but stubbornly continued firing with his other hand.
Seeing this, his teammates rushed over without hesitation, using their bodies to shield him from the alien's subsequent attacks, while simultaneously brandishing their laser daggers and viciously stabbing at the approaching alien.
The laser dagger sliced through the alien's body, and green blood splattered out, splashing onto the team member's face and body. The blood was corrosive and burned his skin, but he only groaned and did not flinch, continuing to fight the alien.
While protecting Shen Ying, Su Lan accurately shot at the aliens with her weapon.
His eyes were sharp, and every shot hit the alien's vitals.
Standing behind Su Lan, Shen Ying watched the fierce battle around her. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
When an alien tried to flank them from the side, Shen Ying seized the opportunity, rushed out, and plunged her laser dagger into the alien's eye. The alien roared in pain and struggled frantically.
Su Lan immediately turned around and, together with Shen Ying, repelled the alien.
The battle intensified, with the aliens seemingly surging in endlessly, attacking wave after wave like a tide, disregarding the deaths of their companions.
The team members' ammunition was running low, but their eyes remained firm, because they knew that retreat would mean certain annihilation.
They stood back to back, forming a tight defensive circle.
The alien attacks came wave after wave, like a tidal wave.
During the fierce battle, the team members gradually discovered that the alien attacks seemed to have a core direction. Whenever they approached a specific area in the canyon, the alien attacks became more and more ferocious.
"What are they protecting? There must be something wrong in that direction!" Xu Yang shouted, his voice still clearly audible amidst the hail of bullets.
A glimmer of hope ignited in everyone's hearts; perhaps that was the source of the aliens.
So the team began to advance in that direction with difficulty.
Finally, they arrived at the depths of the canyon.
There is a huge cave here, surrounded by vines that emit a ghostly light. These vines seem to be alive, twisting and turning on the walls and occasionally emitting eerie pulses.
As they stepped into the cave, an even stronger sense of oppression washed over them.
Deep within the cave, a figure could be seen appearing and disappearing.
As they approached, everyone gasped in shock.
It turned out to be a humanoid creature, entangled by countless thick, alien tentacles, suspended in mid-air.
The humanoid creature's body was severely twisted and deformed, and its skin had a strange bluish-gray color, covered with hard, scale-like lumps.
His eyes were disproportionately large, without pupils, just a pale white, yet they radiated a chilling light.
The limbs also became thin and long with twisted joints, and sharp claws grew on the fingers and toes.
The tentacles extending from his body pierced deep into the cave walls, connecting with the entire cave ecosystem. The aliens seemed to be born from his will; he was like the mother of the aliens and their core controller.
"What...what is this?" Shen Ying covered her mouth in horror.
The humanoid creatures seemed to have sensed their arrival.
He slowly raised his head, his movements carrying an eerie slowness, each inch of movement seeming to tear at the surrounding air.
As he moved, the thick tentacles wrapped around him also wriggled.
When the humanoid creature fully raised its head, it opened its mouth full of sharp teeth.
The teeth were jagged and uneven, each one resembling a sharp dagger, still bearing traces of blood and bits of flesh from some unknown creature, emitting a nauseating stench.
Then, he let out a sharp roar, a sound that was like a tangible shockwave, echoing wildly in the cave, making everyone's eardrums ache and their heads feel as if they were being torn apart by the sound.
"Ah, my ears!" Zhang Mujian cried out in pain, but still gripped his weapon tightly.
The surrounding aliens seemed to have received a command from the depths of hell, instantly descending into madness.
They charged towards the group recklessly, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust.
Their speed was astonishing, and they brought with them a foul stench, making the already dim cave even darker with their enormous figures.
"Fire! Don't let them get close!" Su Lan shouted calmly, his gun spitting out flames.
The battle instantly entered its most brutal phase.
The team members' hearts raced, their adrenaline surged, and they gritted their teeth, their eyes burning with a resolute flame.
Xu Yang brandished his weapon, each swing precisely slicing down an alien. Green blood splattered all over his body, but he showed no sign of backing down, roaring, "Come on, you beasts!"
While shielding Shen Ying with her body, Su Lan calmly shot at the approaching aliens.
His gaze was like lightning, and every bullet hit the alien's vitals with perfect accuracy.
