Cheng was the first one to lead the way towards the edge of the settlement as Gao had earlier pointed at the direction of where both Godzillas had been tearing at each other after The Bug-Eyed Monster had snatched one unsuspecting baby from the cradle in one of the houses.

After bashing through the thick vegetation we had reached about 20 meters from where the Guardian Spirit and the Bug-Eyed Monster were battling. The Bug-Eyed Monster was, in fact, an enormous cricket like the beast that somehow was mutated and lost its way during the Month of Demon in one of the chapters of Release that Witch. Oops... Wrong story.

In fact, the Bug-Eyed Monster was a crazy creation from Jim Henson's Sesame Street Production.

Director! There's something wrong with this script!

Once and for all, the Bug-Eyed Monster was not part of the Youkai group from Inuyasha nor from other anime movies or part series but were created mainly for this serial novel. It had a pair of sickle arms, two short wings at its back and had 4 stick like legs; 2 hind legs were used to stand and support its humongous body.

The body was armored from its head and its whole body and there was only a small space that was not armored; which was at its rear end.

The Bug-Eyed Monster was gripping its sickle-like arms around the Guardian Spirit while its other 2 stick like legs were furiously kicking the body of the Guardian Spirit. The former was roaring in pain or rage as it was trying its futile attempt to rid itself from the clutches of the Bug-Eyed Monster.

”Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...!” the bone spears that the three brothers held were flung straight and it flew into the air simultaneously at the direction of the Bug-Eyed Monster!

”Klang... Thud... Klang...!” the bone spears sounded against the heavily armored and was greatly deflected and fell to the ground. The brothers watched in bewilderment as the spears did not even leave a mark on the armor!

”Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...!!” a flurry of arrows with flame tips were aimed and released into the air at the direction of the Bug-Eyed Monster by the archers that had followed the three brothers from behind. Another quick succession of arrow attacks began after it was released from the bows.

However, it left little or no impact at all on the Bug-Eyed Monster.

”Damn it! How are you gonna kill it!” shouted one of the Archers.

”Quick! Someone find the baby first...!” I shouted above the din as I heard the wail of a crying baby nearby within the thick bushes. Ding and Eun scrambled with one of the archers and looked for the baby.

Guardian Spirit was roaring as it tries to escape the deadly clutches of the Bug-Eyed Monster as it used its sickle-like arms to continuously stab the back of it. The former uses its wolf head to struck the Bug-Eyed Monster repeatedly and it seemed to work.

The baby was found! It was wrapped up in a bundle and does not seem hurt. Ding cradled the baby gently in his arms and then ran off back to the village.

”What shall we do now?!” as one of the archers got ready a kind of whirling rope with each end weighted with a stone. This piece of equipment was good to snare running animals where a hunter would twirl the rope which was tied in the middle with another rope and ends with weighted stones.

When unravel it would look like a ”+” and when one of the rope manages to catch on a running animal, the rest of the weighted ends would wound itself around the legs.

However, it was worth a try. It's better than nothing at all.
