章節 135: Death of a Dreamwalker

Xander's heartbeat quickened for a second, before gradually slowing down as he struggled to breathe. Soon everything went completely dark, all sensations faded, and all sounds became distant and muffled. It was as if the world around him had suddenly ceased to exist.

As Xander breathed his last and his heart stopped beating, the Swamp Deidra's tentacles slithered across his body, slowly releasing him from their slimy grip. A single red tentacle lined with hundreds of white cup-like suckers coiled around Xander's limp body, wrapping around his waist like a hungry boa. The Swamp Deidra hoisted his corpse over the water, bringing it close to its massive head.

Dangling its prey over its mouth, the Swamp Deidra opened its beak. It slowly lowered Xander's corpse and then dropped it straight into its cavernous maw. Bones snapped and crunched as the bony jaws clamped shut. Hundreds of sharp serrated teeth dug into Xander's soft flesh as the monstrosity began chewing on his lifeless body.
