My Last Hunt

Headstrong Level One Chaser (part 16)

The chaser was unable to shout because the monster was glaring at him, leaving him scared. He tried to shout but ended up creating some weird screeching noise.

Linwin saw the chaser standing like a wooden statue so he walked toward the chaser and spotted the monster. Immediately he shouted to attract others, but something unexpected occurred then.

Another monster that was living in the are was attracted by the shout and came by the chameleon monster's side.

This was going to be a surprise for all the chasers.

They were here for huge amount of spoils and had instead became unlucky.

Qiao also heard the voice and immediately reacted, if Linwin was shouting that meant he was in trouble.

Other members also hurried to the area and to their surprise, they found two monster glaring at them. The first chaser and Linwin stood at their place, scared. The situation was dire for the team as they slowly took position.

Qiao did not approach directly from the front, but was taking a path in the shade of the thick vines to see the situation. He also got a huge surprise when he saw two huge monsters were glaring at the rest of team members.

"Why are they all standing as if hypnotized?" he asked to himself.

The leader had believed this was a huge chance for them as they were going to hunt a one and half level monster and get lot of spoils. But now he was looking at the two monsters in a strange manner, because he don't know whether to be happy or scared.

Six feet tall, giant body and angry?

Was their feast going to become a funeral?

It was not that they were unable to complete this hunt yet, or that they were too weak. They were just overwhelmed by the sight of two monster coming along. But in fact, the monsters did not have a strong body for defense, so if they could just pack some courage and attack, they would be able to win this situation. The chameleon monster was halfway through level two and its skin was not hard but if they directly attacked, the crystals under the skin might get damage.

At this moment,

"Why are you standing still, pick your weapons and quickly finish them up," someone came almost flying and stabbed the weapon in one of the monsters. It was Qiao who voiced and attacked at the same time but before he could finish his words, the chameleon monster which was glaring at the two chasers from the start flicked out its long tongue.

Qiao's target and attack was perfect but the second monster was also not going to just sit there and allow these people to hunt it down.

The first monster which was attacked turned toward the one who attacked it, while the other chasers immediately grasped this opportunity. But two who were directly attacked by the monster's tongue got baffled.

The leader hurriedly slashed forward with his sword to stop the twelve feet long tongue in the middle but the giant tongue accelerated so sharply that the sword touched nothing but air. On the other hand, the tongue reached the chaser and dragged him toward its giant mouth. The whole scenario had turned in to a mess, as the near chaser leapt to stop it.

He managed to grab onto the leg of the chaser that was being dragged and started to pull, as another one joined in the struggle. The chameleon exerted even more force when it saw it could not gulp down the chaser in one go.

But The chaser who was being ripped from both sides was screaming. It was hell to be between the life and death. If the monster was able to drag it, then he would become food of this angry monster and if chasers were able to pull, he might live for a few more days but the question was whether he would be able to make it out alive?

The leader regretted for being careless as he ran to pick his sword and then again joined the fight but to see this struggle, he was more alarmed.

Meanwhile, they seemed to forget that there was one more monster, which Qiao was currently facing. It was attacked gravely and there was an injury on its back but it still had enough strength to kill tens of level one chasers.

A level one chaser could only ever fight head-on with an equal level opponent. Such a rule could not be broken, as a difference in level not only meant a difference in strength, but also the experience in fighting and techniques.

In a similar comparison, if Qiao had decided to face head on with his enemies yesterday, he might have turned in to a dead body long ago. But he used his skill and his knowledge of the advanced era to survive. For others it might look like underhanded means but for Qiao this was a method of survival.

Linwin noticed Qiao was alone and he rushed towards him to render any help.

While currently both were glaring at each other, Qiao and the monster.

They seemed to want to kill each other with their sharp glare and it looked like a competition of glaring was going on. The monster was getting ready to bring out its tongue and gulp this human in one bite while Qiao was thinking how sharp could be the attack.

Both could not immediately attack because the weaker one might lose immediately and Qiao knew he was the one weaker against this big body monster, Qiao had to think how he could defense first.

As Linwin came, he did not call out to tell that he was here, it would distract brother Qiao.

The monster brought its tongue when it got ready but the human was simply fearless in its eyes. It wanted to scare him first but the human seemed to have never heard about fear.

Qiao knew that it was time as the tongue reached out. If he was able to pierce his weapon in the tongue, it would immediately decide who would win in the end. The tongue was the strong weapon of this monster and once a human was caught in it, no one can escape easily form it.

There were many mixed voices in the background because the other monster was giving a tough time to the team. The chaser was still being ripped and it seemed that his body would tear apart in this struggle.

But Qiao could not divert his attention anywhere when he himself was right in front of the monster. Though this was bringing a sense of defeat and little worry of what will happen next, still he need to get over this situation first.

The monster finally made the attack and its tongue accelerated at the fastest speed to reach the human chaser.

Today was the trial of his skill which Qiao practiced yesterday. His agility needed to be at the highest proficiency if he wanted to defend and attack. It was do or die, there was no one who could pull him away from the monster if the tongue happened to reach and grab him.
