The fleshy balls now littered the entire ground; Anna was practically surrounded by them. The Coxiens closest to her had already started releasing a flurry of tentacles with many small barbs on them, they swished about and stung her, injecting a stimulating, soothing venom into her blood as they met with contact. For the most part, the Coxiens were attempting to stop her moving, the air filled with tentacles as multiple Coxiens started to seal off the entire hallway. One of the Coxiens was lucky, he leaped off the ceiling at prime time, landing right on Anna's head, and had tentacles slide around and about her face and neck, pricking her all the while with the poisonous barbs.
