Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints-Chapter 561 - Danger In The Darkness

Chapter 561 - Danger In The Darkness

There should be a relatively hard rock under his feet. Through groping, Klein discovered that the cave was very large.

He could grab a wall on one side, but on the other side was an empty space that seemed to be untouchable.

People were already uncertain in the darkness, but the sudden appearance of a strange sound made everyone's heart race,

In the silence, a sound that sounded like the panting of a beast suddenly came from not far away. Furthermore, the sound was getting closer.

As he got closer, Klein could even smell the stench of the beast.

The beast tried to slow down its footsteps. It was obvious that it was a four-legged mammal.

Furthermore, its four claws should have pads on them, which was why it could perfectly hide its movements in the darkness.

If it wasn't for the heavy breathing, the few of them wouldn't even be able to tell the exact direction of the creature.

Perhaps it was because no one had invaded the darkness for a long time, but the beast seemed to be very excited.

Not only did its breathing become heavier, they could even hear the sniffing sound of its nose.

As though it had smelled a delicacy, it was so hungry that even its saliva dripped down.

Klein frowned slightly and grabbed the shoulders of the two of them.

Although they didn't make a sound, they had formed a tacit understanding. Everyone stopped in their tracks and even ensured that their bodies didn't make a single sound.

They held their breaths and hid their tracks.

However, the few of them still ignored the keen senses of this natural beast.

It didn't even need to rely on sound to identify them. In the darkness, it was able to pinpoint the location of a human. The smell was too obvious!

The few of them held their breaths, but they realized that the beast was getting closer. Klein couldn't help but sigh.

'Forget it, I'll think of another way. It seems like we won't be able to hide our tracks in this way.'

At this moment, Klein opened the system again to check the situation. He found that the system seemed to gradually return to normal.

Although it couldn't search a large area, it could still give the information Klein wanted.

It turned out that the beast that was getting closer to them was a tall, blood-red gorilla.

It was as though the gorilla had no skin. It was as though all of its muscles and blood vessels were exposed.

Its terrifying appearance was as though it had covered the entire body of the gorilla, giving people goosebumps.

During the search, Klein discovered that the gorilla actually ate meat.

And it looked like it had been hungry for a long time. They had really delivered goods to its doorstep and walked right into its trap.

This blood-red gorilla had a name, Red Monkey. It was tall and had incredible combat strength.

The most important thing was that the Red Monkey's intellectual development had exceeded that of a human of ten years. Other than not being able to speak, its behavior was no different from that of a human.

When a creature had the intelligence of a human and had the destructive power of a wild beast, it was too terrifying.

Klein shook his head and said, "I suggest that we try our best not to clash head-on with this fellow in front of us. If we were to fight, we would probably be at a disadvantage in the darkness!"

What Klein said was the truth. This wild beast had a pair of sharp eyes.

However, after staying in this dark environment for a long time, it had already adapted to the darkness.

Even if it didn't use its eyes, it could basically rely on its other sharp organs to determine its opponent's position.

Under such circumstances, humans with relatively weak five senses wouldn't be able to hold an advantage. They wouldn't even be able to find the exact location of their enemy, and there was basically no chance of winning.

James found it somewhat unbelievable. Klein had always been a man who would take whatever came his way. He would always bravely advance when faced with his enemy.

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to suggest that he should run away before coming into direct contact.

James didn't quite understand what was on the other side. It didn't look like it would be difficult to deal with. Why did they have to run?

Klein sighed softly in his heart. "If I'm not wrong, this guy should be the legendary Red Monkey..."

If they were to encounter such a creature in the wild, the three of them would be able to fight it out if they worked together. However, under such circumstances, it was best to escape!

Gray also agreed. "That's right. Although humans have high intelligence, and there are even abilities that other creatures couldn't match up to..."

"However, in terms of hearing and smell, we are indeed no match for these wild creatures."

When the few of them prepared to go around this terrifying Red Monkey, they realized that it was already too late for them to escape.

The wild beast's movement speed was very fast. The moment it locked onto its prey, the other party already had no chance of escaping!

Previously, the Red Monkey did not make a single sound. It was just looking for an opportunity to make a move.

Since it could not see the other party, it had to use a lock-on method to hit them.

Just as the Red Monkey had completely locked onto the three of them, it roared and pounced on them.

That powerful explosive power was indeed impressive.

Klein was taken aback. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to dodge today's battle, so he quickly shouted.

"The three of us should split up and not gather together. That way, it won't know who to attack!"

When they first entered the cave, Klein reminded the three of them not to split up.

This was because they didn't know how big the space was. In complete darkness, once they split up, it was very likely that they would get separated.

However, in the face of such a troublesome opponent, they had no choice but to choose between the best of both worlds.

The few of them quickly split up and ran in different directions.

Klein instantly couldn't find their positions. He could only roughly understand his companions' location through their conversation.

When the Red Monkey realized that its prey was running in all directions and that it could no longer keep them concentrated, it appeared a little angry. It kept pounding its chest with its hands, producing banging sounds.

Following that was another shrill cry. It seemed like it was preparing to choose the prey it liked the most to kill.

When humans became the food of other creatures, the fear was indescribable.

James found that the other party was no longer hiding his footsteps. Instead, he deliberately stomped on the ground, making a very loud sound, as if he was demonstrating to a few people.

Then, the earth-shaking footsteps got closer and closer to him. It was obvious that the Red Monkey's first target was James.

James did not panic too much. After all, there was a lot of space here. If the few of them were really planning to escape, this big guy might not be able to stop them.

Perhaps he did not expect that in the chaos, he would actually go in the wrong direction. A wall blocked his way, and he was already forced into a corner by the Red Monkey. There was no way to escape!

James' heart tightened. In the complete darkness, he could not discern the direction. He was walking into a dead end!

He originally wanted to ask for help from his teammates, but just as he was about to speak, he shut his mouth again.
