My Last Hunt

Level Four (42)

Hard to tell who would win:

The trap was thrown suddenly and it was surprise for the monster who was busy in getting the trick ready for the hunters. Until now half of the water turned red while the flow of the lake was not strong and it was not moving with a normal pace.

The snowflakes were falling as usual yet these were unable to accumulate on the surface in amounts. The wind was normal in fact getting silent slowly, as soon as the trap fell the hunters also jumped immediately following behind. This was out of hundred chances and they cannot let it go.

The current state of the monster was biggest problem to decide which of the part they should choose as the target, the monster was not showing any sign of threat or warning as if it was not afraid of anything. The senior hunters look for the weak or vital points of the monster's and then set it as target.

But for this monster they were still puzzle. "Should we attack flippers?" someone asked among the team out of confusion. This was water type monster and using flippers to move fast, it was possible if they attacked them then it would give them enough space to stop the monster from ascending or breaking the bridge, it would be big loss for the monster if the flippers were that vital for the movement.

"We can attack the flippers but they are big enough so be careful." team leader nodded under the water and then they separated to follow their first plan.

Team leader went to keep the trap working until they were able to do some damage. With the increasing red color, they were no more able to track anything, only the instinct and the enhanced senses were working to let them feel the movements of the monster.

When the monster was done, it moved to make the ultimate attack which it has decided before and looked around. But for its surprise it was unable to tell what went wrong. It has not yet developed the complete double stone armor and cannot see through any type of water for example mud water, vague water or the water where the hunters were using any type of stone by activating it with the token.

There was not much difference, only it cannot see through but it could leap up and shook the hunters but the trapes were pulled suddenly and the monster came to know that the hunters were not slacking.

As soon as the trapes were pulled, it forced the monster to go wild. The first trapes were thrown at the big face while the second badge of the trapes were thrown at the flippers to avoid sudden jerking.

The big mouth struggled to open and use the sharp teeth for cutting these strong trapes. Team leader felt the struggle of the monster and pulled the strings hard to not let it break easily.

Every moment was like a decade, moving under the water just with the help of instinct was hard and the other hunters were getting late to reach the flippers.

Still one of them reached earlier than others and started with the first attack. The weapons they were using were not customized to use underwater. They could only put their all might in the attack against this monster.

So this hunter also did the same, as soon as the attack fell and the flipper tasted the touch of a sword, the monster shook the flipper strongly. Every monster has ways to hide their weaknesses and use them as advantage since this monster has big aims how can it let the hunters know that the flipper carry the forty percent strength of the whole body and they were used as the life support in times.

It was still struggling with the strap which was holding the mouth tightly but this attack at the flipper brought a sense of danger in the monster and it got alert and can sense the presence of the hunter around the body easily.

It cannot see clearly because of red water but it was the monarch of the lake, how could it let them harm the flippers. The whole body swayed under the water and it turned the upside down, this caused the whole water to shook and the hunter who was ready to put second attack was pushed away a little.

The monster relieved because the body flipper which was giving warning about the second attack stopped giving threat. Hunt and the hunter have a very keen senses against each other and they could easily detect it when they were going to face each other.

This was sudden and the leader who was pulling the straps with all strength also face the repercussions. He was dragged along the straps moving with the monster and almost hugged its lower mouth area.

This area was where the first upper teeth of the monster can reach. The teeth from the upper jaw were big and long and could easily be seen if the monster wanted to show off.

The monster felt someone was seriously liking to hug and could guess who could it be. Who can be this audacious other than the team leader who always set a trap for it? And since he was so close why not settle the grudge first?

The monster penetrated the big teeth in the lower jaw, though it would hurt the lower jaw but it would give two benefits, first the near straps would cut open and second the leader would taste the attack of the teeth.

Since he was leading his men like a smart fox, it would injure this fox to let the others lost their way or go back minding their own business.

The leader who was trying to collect his sense from the sudden loss of control on the situation opened the eyes and saw the big body of the monster then he felt the instinct of the attack and looked up only to shout in horror and rolled.

One of the teeth brushed past his head and one shoulder caught in, the teeth left a deep cut, if he was late milliseconds then the teeth might have pierced through the head. Still it made a big hole in the well built and big shoulder and the hunter has to immediately force stop the bleeding.

"I am injured and coming on surface," he gave a signal by punching on his left side to the whole team, they have the stone to communicate no matter wherever they were.

The man who was standing at the surface immediately got to know and also the point from where the leader would emerge out. He ran and stood there already.

A hand came up and he hurriedly grabbed then brought up the team leader. From the blood flowing like stream he got worried to see, there was big hole in the shoulder which was not a good sign.

The team leader gestured him to look for others and don't worry about him. His first priority was to stop the bleeding and then order his men as usual. This injury was not big enough to stop him from further hunter.

The others did not know what was the communication used for, they only know that the leader asked something from the one standing on the surface. They were still working to attack the flipper, this time three of them were at the same place and they were moving to not let the monster know their position.

They gestured to each other and in the blink of eye when the monster was glad to injure the leader, three attacks fell at the same time at the single flipper of one side. The swords stabbed ruthlessly and less thick flipper was seriously injured now.

The monster groaned almost ready to damage the normal hearing completely. It was filled with agony and anger. The attack fell from one side this means those foxes were at one side, how ruthless.

It convulsed the body with agony and brought the tail to to sweep them along the water, a big wave of the water swept them along. They knew that the monster would react strongly but never knew that it would sweep them like tiny particles of nothingness.

But they were actually rejoicing the fact that they were able to injure one of the flipper successfully. Well, it was not complete success because they were not clear about the upcoming doom.

The leader removed the clothe and his eyes bulged to see the big wound, the monster was really able to get through him this time. He was not able to decide whether to laugh or cry.

In previous few weeks, he was the one who who has seen the monster in the eyes and they secretly bear strong grudge against each other. They would not let it go if they met the chance and the monster proved it. Qiao could see the leader and the blunt wound and how he was healing. His grip on the sword tightened.
