"Oi oi oi, what the f*ck is that thing!? Why is it so bizarre and strong!?"
Alex, who had never seen such weird monstrosities, was shocked to the core.
'Other protagonists get golden fingers and stuff when they get reincarnated. Why is it that when I got transmigrated, I got thrown in hell!?'
'Did I somehow ended up choosing the hell difficulty!?'
Not only did the monstrosity not stop to eat this time, but it also grabbed the injured mercenaries and ripped apart their stomachs, killing them on the spot.
Then it rolled their intestines and internal organs and stuck them to its own body!
It was so horrible to watch that Alex could not believe his eyes.
One man was in fact still alive when his internal organs were forcefully gouged out of his stomach and got used as ornaments to decorate that monster's hideous body!
"Come on, Ethan! We are dead meat if we don't make it out of here today!"
Ethan nodded his head, sheathed his sword, and focused entirely on running while carrying Alex on his shoulder.
The horses were actually tied to trees near the entrance to the 'Valley of Sorrows,' and most of them were also in a panicked and frightened state.
As they say, animals are more perceptive when it comes to danger, and their instincts help them survive many disasters like floods and earthquakes.
The horses were struggling with all of their might to break the ropes tying them to the tree branches.
Some even broke the tree branches and ran away.
Just when Alex thought that they were close to their goal, the situation changed again.
The horrific monstrosity raised its head and shrieked at the sky!
*HHHHHHHAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAA!!!!*
That shriek was so loud that it spread in a few kilometers of radius, and even Alex felt his mind suffer serious damage from the mental attack!
"Cough! Cough!"
He coughed up a mouthful of blood as his eyes went bloodshot and his nose started bleeding continuously.
But despite all that, Alex did not dare to lose his mental focus; he kept checking the environment, as he warned Ethan.
"That was definitely a call to summon help… There might be more monsters coming over soon; we need to escape!"
'Come on! Where is that plant! F*ck!'
Ethan hurried forward and grabbed the reins of his horse.
Ethan's horse was not like other horses; it was trained, and it was Ethan's trusted companion, which had been with him since Ethan was young.
It didn't panic, and the moment Ethan came, it bit off the rope tying it down and let Ethan sit on its back instantly before running off on its own!
Alex was surprised at how intelligent that horse was, and he patted its back with a smile on his face.
"You are our last hope! Bring us out of this hell!"
As if understanding his words, the horse ran at full speed while avoiding all obstacles.
"Ahhhh!!! Ahhhh!!! Take us too!!! Please!!!"
The mercenaries were frustrated by the fact that Alex and Ethan managed to run.
"F*ck! I shouldn't have taken this mission in the first place! Sh*t!"
As they say, greed often brings disaster.
The mercenary group decided to take the mission with the hope of getting rich in one go.
They were planning on robbing Alex of all his money once inside the valley of sorrows!
But the appearance of that weird monstrosity messed up all of their plans!
*hhhharrrrhhhh!!!!*
The horrific monstrosity spread its tentacles and grabbed a frightened horse.
It raised the horse high in the air above its disfigured body and ripped apart its stomach to bathe in the blood and internal organs of the horse.
Then it wore the skin of the dead horse with its tentacle, and all of a sudden, its movement speed increased!
*neeegiiggggggg!!!!*
As if the monster had become faster by absorbing the blood of a horse, it ran faster and caught up to the mercenaries in a matter of seconds!
The mercenaries tried to get on the frightened horses but failed, as they didn't let them get close.
Alex then saw hundreds of eyes appear one by one in the darkness.
Weird-looking monsters crawled out of the woods with their disfigured bodies and started blocking the entire area.
Ethan held the reins of his horse, drove straight into the narrow valley, and rushed forward.
'The area around the valley is too rough and steep; the horse can't take us through that area. only this valley is our way out but if monsters appeared on the other end, we will be finished!'
"AHHHHHHH!!!!"
The dozens of weird-looking monsters ripped apart the mercenaries one by one and started eating them when they were still alive!
Blood splattered everywhere as organs fell on the ground.
The mercenary leader had his heart dug out of his chest as he watched the monstrosity with horror painted all over his face.
His hands and feet were tied by the giant tentacles, and he was not even able to resist!
'Sh*t sh*t!! sh*T! All the mercenaries are dead! If things go this way we are the next target!'
'And that monster can do mental attacks! Even if I manage to survive, after getting hit by so many mental attacks, I will end up become a retard or a brain-dead corpse!'
The monster's eyeballs that were hanging in the air glowed all over, and it started opening its mouth.
Alex noticed this phenomenon and figured out that the situation had become even worse than he had thought.
'That thing's eyeballs glowed when it used the soundwave attack to kill massive numbers of mercenaries before…'
'It's done charging! It's going to attack our horse to stop us!'
Noticing this situation caused Alex to feel even more desperate, and he could almost feel the hand of 'Death' caressing his face once again.
Alex looked in all directions desperately, and he finally found the plant he was looking for.
Just when the situation was getting increasingly desperate and horrible, Alex finally found those familiar 'white' flowers nearby!
"It's a do or die now!"
Alex threw the kerosene lamp on that particular plant with all his might, causing the lamp to shatter and ignite a fire!
The grass inside the valley of sorrows was very dry, and it ignited almost instantly, causing that particular plant to also get caught in the fire!
And luckily for Alex, the wind direction was in his favor.
Strong winds rushed inside the valley from the front and pushed all the smoke toward the horde of monsters, while Alex and Ethan remained unaffected by the smoke!
"This is it, Ethan! Now is the chance to run!"
Ethan could not understand why Alex had made that particular plant ignite and what 'chance' he had created, but he believed Alex's words.
All the monsters suddenly fell into chaos after that smoke hit them; this helped Alex and Ethan to make it out of the Valley of Sorrows alive!
Alex and Ethan did not stop at all for an entire hour and rushed straight without a single second of rest.
Finally, the horse could not run anymore and got exhausted.
They had to stop near a small stream of water; Ethan helped Alex walk and sit near a tree.
Only after he leaned his back against the tree stump did Alex finally manage to take a sigh of relief.
'I survived…'
