After waking up

Hathaway stared at the swamp outside with wide eyes. The terrifying monster loomed, as if it was the manifestation of the fear in Jenny's heart.

"That bug can only see moving things. My brother and I were often grabbed by the arms, cut our fingers and dangled them in front of it. It has a huge breath and has poison glands in its body."

"do not talk!"

Hathaway rushed over and covered Jenny's mouth, but her strength was far inferior to that of Jenny, who had already started to become physically civilized. She was pulled away by the other party and her arms were tightly clenched.

"Uh-huh. Look outside!"

Hathaway endured the pain and spoke, and Jenny looked outside. And Marin, who just wanted to stop Jenny, also looked outside subconsciously.

"hiss"

Marin took a breath, but Jenny had let go of Hathaway's hand and retreated hastily to the innermost part of the tree hole.

"Bug, worm! It's here? It's here!"

Because of the intense fear, Jenny's body kept shaking and she couldn't even speak clearly.

"Fear will amplify our weaknesses, fear will attract malice here, and fear will even create the most terrifying monsters."

Hathaway whispered while rubbing her arm, and there was an obvious scratch on the skin, because the darker color of the other world looked like bruises on a corpse.

Marin looked at Jenny who was in fear, then looked at Hathaway, and shook her head slightly at the latter.

"Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click."

The sound of wood being squeezed made all three of them stiffen, and then they slowly raised their heads together.

"Clark la la la."

At this moment, outside the tree hole where they were hiding, the entire thick dead tree had been entangled by a disgusting giant worm. The terrifying mouthparts opened downward, revealing the densely packed teeth and mucus inside.

"No, don't leave me."

Jenny lowered her voice and begged Hathaway and Marlene. She was obviously aware that she might be abandoned by her classmates. After all, this monster could not be separated from her no matter what.

Before Hathaway and Marlene could respond, a cracking sound echoed in the dead trees.

"Crack, click, click."

This dead tree is fragile.

"run!"

Marin roared, grabbing Hathaway with one hand and the frightened Jenny with the other. Her muscles exploded, crushing the wood under her feet with a "bang", and rushed out of the tree hole in an instant.

The three of them almost passed by the worm's body. Hathaway and Jenny, who looked back, could even see the terrifying mouthparts roaring at them.

"Roar--"

Ma Lin has now completely liberated her physical strength. With two people, she can quickly jump between dead trees, sometimes even jumping seven or eight meters.

"I can't last long in this state. Jenny, you'd better regain your mobility quickly. Hathaway, think of a way!"

Marin roared, trying to create obstacles in her escape as much as possible, but even without looking back, she could feel the worm's ridiculous speed, and its huge body was almost touching them.

Jenny just tightened her body and held her head, letting Ma Lin carry her away, not even daring to look at the chasing worm.

Hathaway was also extremely frightened. As a girl, although she was very strong, it was really unbearable to see such a disgusting and terrifying monster, but this was really not the time to scream, and no gentleman would show up to help her. .

"Senior Jenny, wake up and overcome your fear! Wake up!"

Hathaway reached out and pinched Jenny's leg hard.

"ah--"

Stimulated by the pain, Jenny screamed. It was not because of the power of Hathaway's strangulation, but because Jenny thought the pain was because she was touched by the worm.

"don't want!"

"Roar--"

The worm instantly spurted out a large amount of ink-like liquid forward. Marlene, who was looking back from the side, had her pupils dilated and then shrunk rapidly. She threw Jenny to the left, then hugged Hathaway and stepped hard on the dead tree where she was. On the tree trunk.

There was Jenny on one side and Marlene and Hathaway on the other. The two sides separated in an instant, and all the worm liquid sprayed onto the tree.

“Zizzizizizi”

The entire tree actually completely melted in a few seconds and merged with the swamp.

"Bang, bang."

Jenny was thrown directly into the swamp, causing a splash of mud. Hathaway, with Marin's quick reaction, turned around and stepped on another dead tree, using the force to jump to one side.

"Don't leave me!"

Jenny shouted desperately to the two of them, while Marlene was holding Hathaway and using the dead tree to get closer to Jenny, but it looked like she was running away alone.

Hathaway understood Senior Marlene's intentions, but she finally couldn't bear Jenny.

"Senior, it's easy to exert force while carrying me!"

"Um."

Although Hathaway is a freshman, she is quick-thinking and calm, and Marin is willing to trust her. She throws her from the princess hug to the junior, and then Hathaway catches Marin herself.

During the collision, Worm did not go to Jenny immediately, but kept chasing Marlene and Hathaway. The latter was slightly stunned, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

"I understand. The worms that were born out of Senior Jenny's terrifying memories also have similar characteristics. They are even exactly the same as Senior Jenny's terrifying memories. The red green worms are creatures adapted to the underground. They only have hearing and a certain degree of dynamic vision. !”

While Hathaway was talking, Jenny continued to scream and beg. After the worm continued to chase and failed to catch Marlene and Hathaway immediately, it finally changed its direction and rushed towards the source of the sound.

"Damn, it's going to Jenny!"

"Let's go over there too, Senior Sister, please wait for a moment and make sure to distract the worm for a moment, and then throw me towards Senior Sister Jenny!"

Marin glanced sideways at Hathaway. If she failed to lure away the worm, or if she escaped alone, both Hathaway and Jenny would die. To a certain extent, she herself had shaken off the burden and looked at Hathaway's eyes are constantly measuring the distance between Worm and Jenny, and it seems that she has not considered the possibility of Marlene escaping. This may be a kind of slowness, but in Hathaway, a smart girl, this kind of slowness is caused by trust. .

"Okay, I will try my best. If it doesn't work, I will run away by myself."

"Well, if we don't succeed, neither me nor Senior Jenny will survive."

Hathaway said and began to take deep breaths.

In the space of two sentences, the worm that had just taken a detour had approached the frightened Jenny again, while Marin actually followed behind her when she exploded.

"Get ready, now!"

Ma Lin roared, kicked a dead branch hard, and at the same time grabbed Hathaway's shoulder with her backhand, and threw Hathaway out with the sound of part of the clothes tearing.

The branch hit the side of the worm's head, causing it to turn to Marlene, who was still holding a broken branch in her hand.

"Disgusting things, come to me!"

Compared with ghosts and other things, Ma Lin was more willing to face monsters like worms. At least they had distinct shapes. As if she was afraid that the worms wouldn't take the bait, she actually jumped out of the tree and rushed towards the worms.

The worm twisted its body and swallowed Marin with its huge mouthparts. The latter's mental power was also extremely concentrated in the extreme excitement. The moment the mouthparts were about to touch her, she slammed down the thick branch in her hand.

"boom"

As the trees shattered, the worm's head visibly paused. Ma Lin used the reaction force of the blow and stamped on the edge of the worm's mouthparts, successfully escaping from one side.

"Roar--"

The strong negativity suddenly enveloped the swamp, causing Marin to fall into a sense of mental suffocation, making her body become stiff, and the insects chased her with angry roars.

'Oops! ’

Ma Lin found that her consciousness was not getting the rapid response it should have when it was transmitted to her body. She was drowsy and paralyzed. Her body hit a dead tree directly. She had no time to avoid again because the worm was already close at hand.

Hathaway was thrown towards Jenny. He had already rolled up his sleeves while flying in the air. He looked at Jenny who was screaming in deep fear. As the distance got closer and closer, Hathaway gritted his teeth.

When Hathaway was almost intersecting with Jenny, he sent out his fist, and at the same time, there was the sound of Hathaway gritting his teeth.

"Come here, wake up!"

The moment the fist made contact with Jenny's chin, it was as if the swamp lit up.

With a "bang~" sound, Jenny was actually beaten and dragged several meters out of the mud, and fainted directly. Hathaway also rolled around in the mud several times in embarrassment.

Ma Lin's eyes widened in despair, and what was reflected in her dilated pupils were the worm's mouthparts and sharp teeth. But suddenly, the worm dissipated like smoke, and only a black mist rushed over her.

"Ho, ho, I, am I still alive?"
