Chapter 94
Wayne reacted quickly, and a dagger was stabbed into the middle of the stalagmite.
Clang!
Sparks flashed, and the stalagmite was cut into two sections before falling to the ground with a clang. However, after falling to the ground, the stalagmite suddenly bent and twisted.
Wayne’s hand holding the dagger became so weak that he almost couldn’t hold it anymore. He quickly took a few steps
back.

Although the stalagmite was slashed into two pieces, that thing still contained indescribable power. At this moment, his hand had no strength at all.
If such a thing flew toward him again, Wayne would not be able to stop it.
He then looked at the two pieces of stalagmite on the ground. At this time, he could clearly see that they were not stalagmites but snake-like things, which twisted and struggled after being cut into two sections.
Louis, who was next to Wayne, also stared at it in surprise. “What is that?”
Wayne replied in a low and quick voice, “Ignore it. It’s dead. Be careful of the others!”

Louis was startled and quickly looked up.
What Wayne was most worried about was that there were hundreds of stalagmites here. If these stalagmites weren’t actual stalagmites, they would be snake-like beasts with skin as hard as iron. Not just that, but if another three to four more of these creatures appeared again, he and Louis would be dead.
Even if he managed to block another attack, his hand would have been broken by then, so he couldn’t stop the second attack.
As for Louis, one of those creatures was enough to deal with him, and the second attack would just lead Louis to death. Wayne observed carefully and slowly moved backward.
The stalagmite didn’t move, but Wayne found that although some of them looked like stalagmites in color, their tips shook slightly, as if they were shaken by the wind.
Moreover, there was a tiny seam on the tip of the stalagmite. It could not be seen without careful examination. After careful examination, it turned out that the seam was a closed mouth!
Those things were not stalagmites.
Wayne instantly understood that these things were mixed within the stalagmites. Ordinary people wouldn’t notice them at all if they didn’t pay attention to them, and the creatures would fly over while others were not paying attention.
If it weren’t for Wayne’s superb skills and responsiveness, he would have been attacked without fail.
Although he didn’t know what that was, it was estimated to be a lethal mutant.
After roughly counting, Wayne found that there were about 50 or 60 stalagmite-like creatures in the middle of those stalagmites. He suddenly felt a little numb.
If these things attacked altogether, then he couldn’t stop the attack at all.
Fortunately, those things just shook their heads slightly and didn’t attack them like the arrow just now.
Wayne was afraid of disturbing them, so he whispered to Louis, “Don’t make a noise. Those things are hidden in the stalagmite forest. Look carefully. There is a seam on its head. That’s their mouth, and…”
Wayne took a deep breath and said, “That thing is as hard as iron. My arms almost broke with the dagger I used just now. Its strength is at least 660 pounds. If there’s another attack, I wouldn’t have been able to stop it.”
“It’s that powerful?” Louis was so shocked that his mouth widened. If it were as powerful as what Wayne said, he wouldn’t be able to stop it.
Judging from the skills of Wayne and Simon, Louis knew very well that they were definitely stronger than him. He didn’t stand a chance if even Wayne couldn’t stop it.

Louis also held his breath and observed it. He then saw something related to what Wayne said in the stalagmite forest, which could be noticed by staring carefully without diverting his eyes. There was, indeed, a slit on the tip of the stalagmite, and it could be observed how they were shaking slowly.
When Wayne sliced through one of them with the dagger just now, Louis witnessed it all, the sparks. No normal human would be able to defend against that, and the sparks that were emitted after it had been cut into half proved how hard and strong those creatures were. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Someone with a weaker strength couldn’t cut it off, and the creature would have successfully attacked after that. Only the
heavens knew what would happen.
Wayne and Louis didn’t know what that was. They both slowly stepped back carefully.
Although Gabriel’s body was lying not far ahead, neither of them could go directly to check it.
Louis didn’t know what it was and asked Wayne in a low voice, “Wayne, What… What the hell is that?”
Wayne also shook his head slowly. “I don’t know, but it seems to be a mutant snake.”
“Snake?”
Louis also gasped. Among all animals, the one he feared most was snakes.
The snake looked strange. Looking at the shape of the “stalagmite,” the thickness of the upper and lower half looked the same as if it was a huge thick black wooden stick.
Wayne looked at it for a while and didn’t understand what he was looking at. He then whispered to Louis, “Let’s go back and discuss this first. This thing is too difficult to deal with.”
Louis nodded. Gabriel was lying there, but they didn’t dare to act rashly. Once those creatures were disturbed, he and Wayne would both be dead, and nothing could stop it from happening.
Moreover, that was not Gunther lying there. If it was him, then they would try their best to save him since it was their duty.
Gabriel was Gunther’s best friend, but he still wasn’t the boss. Louis wasn’t able to risk his life to save someone that wasn’t even his boss.
They didn’t turn around, but slowly walked backward out of the area and returned to the entrance.
The firewood at the entrance of the cave was still burning vigorously. Damp wood was added to it as well. Depending on this situation, it would only take two hours at most, and all the dry firewood would
burn out within that time.
When Oliver saw Wayne and Louis coming back, he asked, “How is Professor Lewis?”
Gunther also asked him anxiously, “How is Gabriel?”
Louis shook his head and replied, “I don’t know the situation, but we’re not able to move forward. There is a stalagmite forest where there are some monsters that look exactly like stalagmites. They are very strong and will attack like arrows. Wayne couldn’t even block them. The sparks were seen after the creature had been cut as if it was made of stone.”
Wayne also reported to Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, that thing is like a wooden stick without a head and tail. It has the same thickness, from top and bottom. I chopped it with my dagger, and although it was cut in half, my hand felt useless after that, and I know I couldn’t block that attack again. If another one attacked me, I would get hurt.”
That was because Wayne didn’t know whether the thing was poisonous or not, and it would be fatal if one bit him.
Both Oliver and Simon were secretly shocked, especially Simon. He knew Wayne’s ability very well, and Wayne said that he wouldn’t be able to block the attack the second time after he blocked it the first time, meaning the creatures were truly
strong.
Simon’s close combat skills were stronger than those of Wayne, but he was not as strong as Wayne’s.
Oliver asked again, “Is Professor Lewis there?”
