American Horror Story

Chapter 75: Cannibalism and Being Cannibalized

The black shadow that flashed by was definitely faster than a normal human being in terms of speed.

In this jungle environment, the opponent is like a killer who comes and goes without a trace, and any attack may take Calvin's life.

"Go back to the clearing." Luke whispered, afraid of startling the unknown monster hiding in the darkness.

In the dark jungle, the horrific "crunching" sound of chewing bones seemed to come from all directions, causing Mag's emotions, which had just calmed down a little, to collapse again.

Luke and Calvin, one pointing forward and the other pointing backward, slowly retreated towards the clearing in the forest with guns in hand, while Marg had turned around and started running at full speed.

"Don't run too fast, be careful!" Luke warned.

But Marg wouldn't listen at all. She just wanted to leave this horrible jungle as soon as possible and return to the safe city without taking a single step out of the city.

As for the two strange men behind him, since they are willing to retreat slowly, let them block the way behind, so that they can withstand the attack of the monster first.

Mag had already thought it through. She hadn't encountered any deformed people along the way. The only one she encountered was killed, and now the body had been eaten. Perhaps the remaining deformed people had already entered the stomach of the black shadow, and it was safe outside.

She thought as she ran that once she escaped from here, she would immediately run back to where she parked.

Just now when she was searching the camp, she picked up Harrison's car keys from the ground. As soon as she got back to the car, she drove away immediately and never came back.
Before she finished her thoughts, she suddenly felt her body lighten, and her perspective changed strangely, as if she was floating in the sky.

Ah, that body that fell down looks so familiar. I seem to have seen it in the mirror.

This was her last thought.

"bang bang bang"

The black shadow that had swallowed the deformed person fell from the sky, put its arms around Mag's shoulders, and her head fell off her body, and her body fell to the ground in the direction it ran.

The black shadow landed on the ground and picked up Mag's body. He tore open her abdomen with one hand, found her soft internal organs, and bit them.

Luke was too late to save the woman. He sighed in his heart, aimed the gun in his hand, and the bullet accurately missed Mag's body and hit the dark monster.

However, the monster just groaned in pain, then pulled up Mag's body and climbed up the tree in three or two steps like a giant ape. Before Calvin turned around, it disappeared from their sight, leaving only a piece of soft intestine that fell out of Mag's abdomen on the branch in mid-air.

"Speed ​​up!" Luke shouted, "The enemy is too suitable for the jungle environment."

The two of them were still standing back to back, looking out for each other, and walked out slightly faster.

Perhaps because it failed to find a flaw that would allow it to launch a sneak attack, the monster did not return to attack for the time being. After a while, the "crunching" chewing sound began to be heard in the woods again.

To be honest, Mag's guess was indeed correct. All the deformed people in the forest were indeed dead, and they all went into the stomach of the black shadow monster.

And that monster was none other than a deformed human who had mutated and fallen.

The origin of this group of deformed people cannot be verified, but it is related to the pollution of chemical reagents. As we all know, the treatment of chemical reagents in this land has always followed the great American spirit - freedom!
As long as they are not discovered or pay the fine in time, they can emit freely. Even the black cloud caused by the leakage and burning of vinyl chloride in a carriage can be censored in the news, let alone ordinary, inconspicuous pollution emissions?

In short, these deformed people who are the result of human mutation have strong bodies, unusual appearances, and violent and evil mental states.

They formed an unstable family, hunting the occasional humans in the deep forest, killing them, and then eating them. Over time, the strongest one among them, who ate the most humans, was chosen by the dark curse of the other world after his latest meal - humans who ate their own kind would be transformed into the monster Wendigo, forever chased by hunger and never satisfied.

After being transformed into a Wendigo, its former companions and family, although deformed, were still human beings after all - so they happened to be on its menu.

Then the killing and eating began.

The deformed people who used to enjoy killing and cannibalism have now become captured prey. The transformed Wendigo is far superior to its previous body in terms of speed, strength and ability to withstand blows, and even has a keen sense of smell and tracking ability.

As a monster that is always hungry, every time it kills a freak, it eats it as quickly as possible and then moves on to hunt the next one.

This process was repeated until the last deformed man was hunted and devoured, and then Luke and his two companions who came to investigate were encountered.
-
While the monster was eating again, Luke and Calvin retreated steadily out of the woods and returned to the open space around the cabin.

"Is the supernatural world so exciting?" Facing the elusive enemy, Calvin's heart was pounding, his eyes were shining, and he looked more excited than when he had sex with his favorite girl.

"It's okay. I've seen stronger ones." Luke was not too nervous. In an open environment, the enemy lost the terrain advantage and was not so scary.

The chewing sound disappeared, and the two men stood back to back, alert to their surroundings, their fingers on the trigger, ready to fire the bullet at any time.

A moment later, behind Luke's left and in front of Calvin, the monster emerged from the woods like a ghost and pounced on Calvin fiercely.

"Bang" "Bang"

Calvin calmly aimed and fired the shotgun. After the first shot, Luke turned around, quickly locked onto the target and fired.

However, the Wendigo's thin body was surprisingly strong. It continued to run towards Calvin despite the lead bullets and steel. Even the impact of the shotgun only slightly slowed down its speed, but could not completely stop its momentum.

"Get out of the way!" Luke pushed Calvin away with all his strength, while quickly chanting the secret word - "Scutum"

As the voice fell, a transparent energy shield appeared out of thin air, blocking him and the Wendigo, absorbing all the kinetic energy of the monster rushing towards him, and blocking it firmly one meter in front of Luke.

"Ventus!"

The gentle breeze embraced Luke, making his body light and agile. He kicked back and shot out like an arrow, putting distance between him and the monster.

At this time, Luke finally saw the true appearance of the mysterious black shadow.

He was skinny, like a famine victim during a natural disaster, with skin stretched tightly against his bones. It seemed as if he had no muscles at all, relying entirely on fascia and bones for mobility.

It didn't look like a monster walking as fast as the wind, but more like a dried corpse that had been starved to a skeleton and had just been dug out of a grave.

Only the finger bones and scales were left on its palms, and Mag's head fell off after being surrounded by its sharp scales.

"boom"

The violent explosion covered the Wendigo's figure. After stabilizing his body, Calvin threw a grenade over.

This Wendigo had just been transformed and didn't have many memories of its previous life, so it didn't pay attention to the small ball and suffered a great loss.
