Chapter 1245 Stones, Necklaces, And Rings

“Ever since we saw the shadow on the tent, Beck and I beca nervous. We didn’t know what kind of monster that thing was, where it ca from, or what it would do to us. Previously, I had been hunting with the Inuit, so I had an illusion that I knew enough about this ice field. However, the shaman of the Inuit always said that one should be in awe of nature, because you don’t know how many secrets are hidden in this world. In the past, I always disagreed with this sentence, but after that night, I realized how shallow my previous knowledge was.”

“If it wasn’t for this expedition, I would never have known that such a terrifying creature existed in this world. Most importantly, I don’t know how to deal with it. Its tentacles move quickly, and once it gets entangled, it’s a dead end. However, long-range bullets don’t seem to be able to cause much damage to it. There’s also a snowstorm as a cover. It simply doesn’t seem to have any weaknesses. Every ti it cos, we can only gamble on luck, but luck can’t always favor us. We don’t even know who will be the victim the next ti it cos.

“It’s not just us. I can feel that the scientists are also panicking. Geologists and teorologists have gone to find Mr. Tam one after another, hoping to imdiately end this expedition and return to Nuuk. However, just like , their request was also rejected. On the contrary, the theologian couple seed the calst. No, using the word ‘calm’to describe them might not be accurate. I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but the woman’s expression was actually a little excited. She and her man had been chatting about sothing, but they were speaking in Chinese. Other than the two of them, no one in the expedition team knew what they were talking about.

“I don’t know what they’re talking about, but my gut tells

that they’re probably one of the few people on this expedition who really knows what’s going on, especially considering who they are. What’s happening right in front of us is clearly beyond the realm of scientific explanation.

“My English is only good enough for so simple communication. I haven’t reached the level where I can communicate with people fluently, so I asked Dr. Baker to contact them, hoping to get so information from them. I don’t expect to find a way to deal with the monster from them, at least until I die. But what I didn’t expect was that the Doctor actually gave

a surprise when he ca back at night.

“That is an ordinary looking oval-shaped pebble with a pentagram carved on it. In the middle of the pentagram is a mysterious eye. The Doctor said that this thing is called an old seal and it has a mysterious power on it. It might be able to protect us from that monster.

“To be honest, I was a little skeptical at first because I didn’t know how an ordinary pebble could fight against that terrifying monster. However, considering our situation at that ti, we were like people who were about to drown. We needed to hold on to everything we could. It was also strange. I don’t know if it was my imagination, but when I grabbed the pebble and fell asleep at night, I actually didn’t have nightmares anymore.

“Although I was woken up in the middle of the night by the Doctor next to , he told

the next morning that he had another terrible dream about a huge city filled with huge stone pillars, walls full of hieroglyphics and Green, everywhere, sticky material.

“After he woke up, the Doctor seed a little distracted. Mr. Tam saw that he was not in a good state of mind, so he specially ca to comfort him and let him rest in the camp for a day. However, the others still went out to search as usual. Other than the soldiers who did not show any change in expression and only knew how to carry out orders, the rest of the people were a little anxious. Only the Chinese theologians and their wife were still in high spirits.

“I asked to be on their team because of the rocks, which made

feel safer, but Mr. Tam turned

down, saying that I was the team’s guide, and that the person who knew the ice best should have more responsibility, so I had to continue with two ex-soldiers, and then we restricted the search area to the area where the fossils were found, and we broke through the ice with drills and explosives.

“However, we didn’t gain anything in the following week. I told the doctor that the stone could prevent nightmares, and then we took turns to use it. This way, we could ensure that we could have a good night’s sleep for two days, and our spirits improved a little. It wasn’t until a week later that we lost a small team.

“That was a team led by a geologist. Other than him, there were three other retired soldiers, but in the end, only one person managed to escape from the terrifying snowstorm. Everyone was silent during dinner, because many people realized that if this continued, it wouldn’t be long before the entire expedition team was wiped out.”

“I didn’t expect that when everyone was feeling down, the monster appeared again. This ti, it didn’t summon a snowstorm to protect itself and charged towards us. This was also the first ti I saw its appearance. I was completely shocked. Although I had heard the doctor describe its appearance and saw its shadow on the tent, when I saw its true form, I still felt that there was no creature in this world that was more terrifying than this.

“Even the demons from Hell described in the Bible are not as ugly and disgusting as this. I was so scared that I stood there, unable to move a single finger, especially when I found out that its target was . I was so scared that I was dumbfounded. Fortunately, the doctor beside

reacted quickly and took out the pebble from his pocket. Today, it was his turn to carry it. He placed the pebble in front of , and the next mont, a miracle happened. The Ugly Monster stopped in its tracks and charged towards the Chinese couple.

“In the end, the two of them calmly took out a necklace and a ring. One of them had the sa pattern as the one on the stone, and the other was carved with a string of twigs. When the monster saw it, it turned around again and rushed towards a retired soldier beside it. The latter fired at it, but just like before, the bullets were not of much use to it. The monster grabbed him and rcilessly pierced his heart with its tentacles.

“Then the monster began to look for a new target, it looked at Mr. Tam, at that mont I think it saw that Mr. Tam is our leader, so it also adjusted the strategy, decided to kill Mr. Tam First.”
