Chapter 95
“Professor Lewis is lying over there. Among the stalagmites, I saw roughly 50 or 60 creatures similar to the one that attacked me just now…” said Wayne while recalling. He could not help but show a trace of fear when thinking about the overwhelming power of that creature.
Gunther pondered and asked Louis, “Do you recognize what that is?”
Louis shook his head. He did not recognize the creature and was unsure whether Gabriel was alive or dead.
Gunther cast his eyes over Oliver. Among those people, he felt that his greatest hope was in Oliver.
Oliver thought for a while and told Simon and Yoseph, “You two guard the cave entrance. I’ll go over to have a look with Wayne and Louis.”
Louis and Wayne could not defeat the creature or even recognize it. Perhaps only Oliver’s eyes could identify it, so he would better go there to look at it.
Moreover, Wayne and Louis did not bring back the remains of the creature that was cut off. Even if it was cut off or dead, he could identify it as long as he saw the actual thing.
However, he could not identify anything that did not exist. So, he could only find out what it was by going there in person.
As soon as Oliver moved, Sienna naturally stood up and followed him. “I’ll go with you too.”
Oliver wanted to persuade her to stay at the cave entrance and rest. But seeing her worried expression, he withdrew his words, took her hand, and nodded.
Hailey lowered her gaze, and her facial expression was cold.
Meanwhile, Gunther also said with his crutches in his hand, “I’ll go and have a look too. I don’t know if Gabriel…”
Thinking of Gabriel, Gunther was worried and anxious. At that time, he was in a hurry to enter the cave, so he did not notice Gabriel at all and was only worried about the Nocturna Heron outside.
Because Gunther followed over, Louis supported him by his arm, and Wayne, who was leading the way, slowed down his pace. Gunther did not have the strength to keep up with him in strides..
The distance of around 600 feet was not far, and Wayne had walked through it once. Hence, for the second time, he turned on the headlamp without using night vision goggles.
A few minutes later, when Wayne saw the stalagmites in front of him from a distance, he stopped and said to Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, it’s right there. Those strange things are obscured in the stalagmites, like snakes.”
It was still far away. Oliver looked at the stalagmites around 90 feet away, shaking his head gently. “It’s too far away to see clearly. Let’s go a little further.”
Wayne feared that Oliver would walk ahead, so he blocked him and carefully walked 13 to 16 feet away from the stalagmites. Then he stopped and asked Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, we shall stop first. You can see clearly before we decide.”
That creature was so powerful that he could not stop it himself. He was afraid of getting Oliver into trouble.
It was only 13 to 16 feet away from the stalagmites at that time, and Oliver could clearly identify the things. The first thing he identified was a stalagmite.
As for the second one, it was still identified as a stalagmite.
The third one was stalagmite, but the identification message in his mind was different: [The Blind Viper is a mutant of highly venomous vipers. As they lived in dark caves for a long time, their eyes degraded to around 20/2000 near-blindness, and their hearing was abnormally developed. They could hear extremely subtle sounds. If someone was bitten, the venom of the Blind Viper could poison 30 people instantly.]
Oliver was secretly shocked. Before that, there were the Great Wolf, the Nubia Python in the Alpar River, and the Nocturna Heron. And by that time, the Blind Viper had emerged as well.
No one knew how many unknown deadly creatures would appear before they reached their destinations.
Gunther looked at Oliver and asked, “Oliver, what is that thing?””
Neither Wayne nor Louis thought Oliver could answer it.
But Oliver smoothly replied, “It is called the Blind Viper. It’s a mutant of highly venomous vipers. Its vision has almost disappeared, but its hearing has increased tenfold. In addition, its venom is several times stronger than before. It relies on its hearing.”
Wayne and Louis were both stunned. They could not believe Oliver could actually recognize the thing.
Gunther was also confused and at a loss after hearing that. He had never heard of such a thing as “the Blind Viper.”
Oliver looked at Gabriel, who was still lying on the ground in the stalagmites, but his awesome eyes could not identify any
information about the person.
Louis lowered his voice and asked Oliver, “How do we deal with the Blind Viper?”
Wayne, who had great combat skills, did not dare to force himself to challenge it, so Louis naturally did not dare to provoke the Blind Viper.
Oliver immediately pondered about how to deal with that thing. He thought for a while and took out his phone. There was an application on his phone that could emit a sound like an ultrasonic sound, which wouldn’t affect human ears, but animals with extremely sensitive hearing would be affected. The more sensitive their ears were, the greater the impact was.
He played the sound and put his phone on the ground a few feet away. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
As soon as the sound played, all the Blind Vipers hiding in the stalagmites immediately started to shake. Their shaking amplitude could be seen without careful observation.
And when they shook, their mouths were also opened. Their heads were as big as a baby’s fist, and the opened mouths were as large as the rim of a bowl, extremely exaggerated.
Two curved and white teeth were exposed scaringly. After a while, the Blind Vipers seemed unable to endure it anymore. They lowered their heads and bodies to the ground and slithered toward the inside of the cave.
Dozens of the Blind Viper disappeared into the darkness in a short time, and Louis could not see it with the thermal detector. The body of the Blind Viper was cold and had no heat, so the thermal detector could not detect it.
Louis saw the Blind Vipers driven away by the sound played by Oliver and thought, “Oliver really has some tricks.”
He used to think that Oliver was very lucky and only had decent eyesight, but at that moment, he felt that Oliver was actually capable.
The fact that he mentioned a creature called “the Blind Viper” and even knew its weaknesses suggested that he wasn’t simply making things up. If it were nonsense, he would not know how to deal with the Blind Viper.
Wayne stared at the stalagmites and observed carefully. He did not see the Blind Viper with mouth opened nor any shaking “stalagmite.”
Oliver stared at the stalagmites, one, two, three, and more than a dozen, and all of them were stalagmites. None of them was the Blind Viper. They probably could not stand the ultrasonic sound from his phone and thus escaped.
He bent down to pick up his phone, turned off the ultrasonic sound, and then carefully walked to Gabriel’s body.
After checking that there was no abnormality in the surrounding, Oliver squatted down to check Gabriel’s breathing.
His heartbeat and breathing were normal. There was also no wound on his face, hands, feet, or any visible part of the skin.
Oliver carefully lifted Gabriel up, only to find that there was blood on the back of his head.
Wayne hurriedly aimed the headlamp at Gabriel’s head, and they could see clearly in the light.
Gabriel had a wound on the back of his head. The blood had stained his hair red and stuck his hair together.
Looking at the ground, the place where there was blood had a pointy bulge about one inch high. Gabriel must have knocked his head on it and fainted.
Gabriel should have already become an extremely poisonous corpse if he had been bitten by the Blind Viper.
