At this moment, she was clinging to the protruding trunk of a large tree in front like a gecko, her body almost blending in with the bark, cautiously peering out through the gaps in the leaves.
"Alice?" Strange lowered his voice, moved closer, and asked hurriedly, "What do you see?"
"Shh—"
Alice didn't look back, just with her back to him, she placed her index finger to her lips, making an extremely stern gesture for silence.
Strange immediately shut his mouth like a duck grabbed by the neck, asking silently with his eyes: "What happened?"
Alice didn't speak, just slowly, slowly raised her hand, gesturing to look over there.
Seeing this, Strange, Banner, and Hughes held their breath and looked in unison in the direction of her finger.
That was the direction from which the thumping, powerful impact sounds were coming—a slightly open clearing in the forest.
After about a dozen seconds, the footsteps were right at hand.
Accompanied by a teeth-grinding, crisp sound of trees breaking and snapping, a large tree thick enough for two people to embrace collapsed with a crash, like a toppled toy block.
Amidst the flying dust and falling leaves, a head so large it was suffocating appeared before everyone's eyes.
The moonlight just happened to pierce through the clouds at this moment, spilling onto the monster, plating it with a layer of silvery radiance, and making its terror all the more visible.
It was a giant beast, standing seven or eight meters tall and over twenty meters long.
It had a bloody maw filled with dagger-sharp fangs that glinted coldly in the moonlight. Its skin was as rough as armor, displaying dark brown stripes.
Its two hind legs, several times thicker than an elephant's, triggered a small earthquake with every step.
It was walking out of the forest with an air of absolute dominion, destroying everything in its path.
Every step shook the earth.
Every step felt like it was trampling directly on the three men's hearts, causing their heartbeats to almost stop in that instant.
Strange, Banner, and Hughes were instantly stunned with fear.
Their throats felt stuffed with cotton; they couldn't make a sound.
The pressure from that ancient overlord caused the blood in their entire bodies to freeze.
It was a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The true king of the land.
The giant beast stopped its steps.
It sniffed the air with its massive nose, as if it had smelled something.
The three hiding behind the rock didn't even dare to breathe; Hughes was clutching his mouth tightly, fearing that the sound of his chattering teeth would give them away.
Fortunately, or perhaps this behemoth wasn't hungry, or maybe it had just returned from hunting in the storm.
It didn't notice the few tiny things, small as ants, hiding behind a rock and peeking out.
A low grunt sounded like rolling thunder.
Then, it took a step and continued forward.
"Thud... thud... thud..."
The footsteps gradually faded away until that massive figure completely disappeared into the shadows of the jungle.
