Monster Language

"Squeak, squeak, squeak... squeak..."

Suddenly, another strange cry rang out behind Cheng Luoyi.

The group turned around in surprise and discovered that it was Sun Xiaoqiang. His intelligent eyes were fixed on the monster as he made the same noises, waving his arms to imitate the swaying of its tentacles.

"This..."

Just as they were worrying intensely,

they saw the monster glance around before turning and leaving without looking back, walking straight into the distance.

Sun Xiaoqiang had basically stumbled onto a dead mouse by blind luck. He had casually mimicked a string of monster sounds and somehow matched its secret code.

that they had never shared a common language at all...

"Let's go. We should meet up with the people from the other shelters."

With the risk of exposure gone, Cheng Luoyi spoke at once.
