noland lee intended to assist comi with launching the bee syrup bombs.

after emerging from his hideout, he listened intently to gauge the situation.

the big skeleton was flailing its bone hammer about ten meters ahead.

the gasps of two humans surrounded the big skeleton, seemingly holding it in place, drawing the creature’s attention in place. so where was comi with the bomb launcher?

noland shouted into the darkness:

“comi, where are you? do you need help?”

there was no response from comi in the darkness.

on the other hand, in between dodging the big skeleton’s attacks, mike adams managed to yell out:

“jarvis… quickly check on your right. comi seems to have been knocked out by a rock; he hasn’t managed to launch the bee syrup bomb.”

“alright, i’m on it..” noland lee started to move, asking at the same time:

“how is captain mars?”

“not sure.. i think he’s passed out. don’t worry, he’s taken two strengthening potions, his physical condition is much better than ours.”

distracted by the conversation, sergeant mike adams let his guard down, moaning as he was inadvertently grazed by the hefty bone hammer.

noland lee ran to the last place he spotted comi.

there was no one there.

only a piece of cloth hanging on a sharp rock gave proof that someone had been there.

was comi also in danger?

where had his bee syrup bomb gone?

noland’s heart tightened slightly, as he yelled loudly:

“comi! comi! where are you?! we need the bee syrup bomb!”

the dark environment caused by “perception obstruction” seemed ready to swallow all life.

after shouting for a while, noland received no response.

the battle between sergeant mike adams and the big skeleton was growing more intense, screams of pain becoming more frequent.

noland lee frowned lightly, realising that the odds were tipping against them.

just as he turned around to support his comrades, a dark shadow fell from the sky, crashing onto the floor before him.

“comi?!”

noland’s eyebrow twitched, as he held the revolver and glanced at the corpse on the ground, and above it.

comi, who was still breathing just half a minute ago, had now become a desiccated, shriveled mummy.

there were round wounds on his forehead and the back of his head, apparently left by some sort of piercing weapon.

“wait a second, wounds caused by a weapon? i feel like i’ve seen this somewhere before…”

noland’s heart missed a beat, as he suddenly realised that he had inadvertently revealed his intent to attack. he immediately twisted his waist and rolled to the side.

“wham!”

a long, thin shadow shot out from a high point, landing on the spot where noland had just been, breaking the stone bricks.

the cavern stalker had sneakily launched an attack!

this cunning sutured creature had killed comi and drained him into a mummy!

all of this became clear to noland lee in an instant.

he steadied himself during the roll, squatted, and raised his revolver towards

seeing its attack had failed, the cunning cavern stalker retracted its black whip, ceasing all movement and silencing all sounds.

it intended to evade noland’s detection through silence, hoping to launch another creepy attack when he let his guard down.

however, it had made a mistake this time.

its enemy was not an ordinary imperial soldier.

it was a man with the deconstruction core system.

noland squinted into the direction from where the whip had come, executing a dozen deconstruction techniques.

soon, he was able to accurately pinpoint the enemy’s location through the system message.

did you think hiding as a stone would save you? die, creature!… noland pulled the trigger.

“bang!” a bullet spun out from the gun’s muzzle amidst a spark, accurately shooting towards the cavern stalker.

a shrill screech came from the darkness overhead.

noland decisively fired continuously, emptying the chamber, killing the cunning creature on the spot.

with a “splat” sound, the cavern stalker exploded and died, sliding down from the wall, leaving a puddle of “mud” mixed with white bone fragments on the ground.

noland slowly let out the breath he had been holding in his chest, replacing the ammunition while heading towards comi’s remains.
