Chapter 81 The Great Hunt 2 (2/2)

Of course John used poison, paralysis poison. He used the one he took from the Batong's tongues. Those bat-like creatures that John found on the cave where he met with Lenny and Oscar.

He had collected at least a hundred of them. He never got the chance to use the poison, but now he had the chance to test it out.

And looks like it was successful. A few milliliters of the poison was more than enough to knock out a young Floran without killing by a heart attack or something similar.

John cautiously approached the Floran. He didn't want face a surprise attack, so he approached with caution while he unsheathed his dagger, the Dark Wraith.

When John was able to confirm that the poison really worked, he sighed in relief.

He sheathed his dagger and crouched by the young, male Floran's side.

John took a proper look at the equipment that the Floran was carrying.

Aside from the PIPS, the Floran was carrying nothing more than a bow, and a sword on his back.

John tried to feel the armor that looked like it was made of a gray wood.

He instantly frowned as he touched the wood. He was able to tell that it was incredible hard.

”Well.....what now?” John looked at sprawled guy on the ground. ”How should I deal with this?”

John scanned his surroundings and soon found a stone platform that was on top of the giant door.

The platform looked it was naturally made.

[I will check it out...] John was about to go forward when he stopped and glanced at the Floran. [First, I need to immobilize him.]

John took out a rope from his PIPS and proceeded to tie up the Floran in the same rock that he used to hide.

After he was done, John took out the Grappling Hook from his PIPS. It had once belonged to that assassin that was killed on the Lunar Base 12, Mouro, but now it was on John's hands.

He took a deep breath and raised the Grappling Hook. Taking his time, he carefully aimed at the platform.

When he was certain that he aimed correctly he fired.

*Bang*

With a low explosion noise, the hook was sent flying toward the platform.

*Clang*

John soon heard the sound of the hook hitting something.

He tried to pull the hook through the rope, it didn't bulged, ”Alright...”

He confirmed that the hook was stuck on the platform, then he pressed the other trigger of Grappling Hook, and soon he started to ascend.

John swiftly went up the platform and looked around him.

It was very dark up there, he was barely able to see a few centimeters on front of him.

”Huh?” His sight soon locked in a metallic object that was on the corner of the platform.

As he approached he discovered that it was, in fact, a lever.

John narrowed his eyes and carefully scanned the lever from a safe distance.

”It doesn't seem to be a trap...” He muttered under his breath while he slowly approached the lever.

John gripped the metallic bar and pulled it to the opposite side.
