The two armed men took a step forward, but suddenly felt a tight grip around their ankles, as if something had latched onto them.
"Huh? What the hell?" They looked down and saw green vines coiled tightly around their legs.
Before they could react—
A tremendous force yanked them backward. The vines snapped taut like a striking serpent, hoisting the two men upside down into the air.
"Help! Somebody help!"
"What the hell is this thing?!"
Dangling headfirst, they thrashed and struggled, but it was no use. Around them, more vines rose like striking cobras, shooting toward them with terrifying speed.
Thwack!
The vines pierced their bodies, burrowing deep like straws. A sickening sound followed as the vines began to suck, draining their blood. Their bodies visibly shriveled, skin tightening over bones, as they were reduced to little more than husks—on the verge of becoming dried-out corpses.
