Chapter 524 Up For a Ride
After spending a fewthe stone forest, Daniel walked back to where he had left Rose and the others In his hands were a bunch of dried up twigs and leaves, which had given him hope that, soerous forest fro winds had stolen Daniel's current haul
As he approached the caht he would find the others in the , Daniel suddenly heard a wo screa into the pocket of his pants, and started running
When he arrived at the camp, only a few minutes later, Daniel saw Rose and the other perched over a relatively se-colored lizard aiting for theue As he sahat kind of ree, Daniel could not help but place his palainst his forehead in an atte
”To think that their first contribution to our survival, is to be bait for our dinner” Muttered Daniel while slowly taking out his shi+rt, which he then wrapped around his forearround around his feet in hope to find so that could work as a weapon Unfortunately, the best he could find was a rock shaped as a fruit slice With a thin and not so sharp side, a wider one which he could hold on to, and smooth sides
”Careful! There is a monster down there!” Shouted a panicked Cassie as she noticed Daniel's approaching figure
Daniel ignored her warning, and instead threw a save up on the unreachable bouffet of female humans, and focused on a more modest meal As it locked onto its new prey, the lizard used all four of its large and muscular limbs to propel itself towards Daniel
-----
This was not the first time that Daniel had seen a similar beast In fact, in the very forest that surrounded the city in which he had grown up, lived beasts just like this one and even slightly bigger ones These reptiles would usually hide in the tree line, waiting to attack the sanized packs, and at times, they would approach the city walls, attracted by the carrions of pack anis
”It's easy to kill thee Bet you can't guess how ahah!” Would say the guard tasked with taking care of the occasional beast that would get too close to the city gates to a curious Daniel, ould pester hi, and turn slowly You dodge to their side, obviously” Daniel would respond with a uards would burst out laughing, almost as if they had heard the most hilarious joke ever created ”Brat, that's not a crocodile If you stick to its side, it will knock you out with a whip of its tail!” Would say the guard with a derisory tone ”No… you jump on them! But be prepared for a nice ride AHAH!”
-----
With these memories still fresh in histo the very last moment Then, he jumped Unable to stop, the lizard bit into the space that Daniel's body was occupying only round the next second as Daniel's entire weight landed onto its scaly back
By using its powerful muscles the beast desperately tried to out wrestle Daniel, as shoving his feet against the beast's legs in an atte its head onto the ground by pressing his covered foreargling, hooking its claws into the ground in order to drag itself out of Daniel's hold while hissingits tail on both sides But Daniel never let go of it This went on for several an to tire down
”A little help here!” Shouted Daniel while putting even more pressure onto the lizard's neck He knew that the beast was faking it, and the moth it had left to shake hiood chunk out of his body He was also aware of the fact that these kinds of beasts usually relied on a venomous bite, and despite his i to avoid the injury
To answer Daniel's request of help were Dawn and Rose, who jumped off the boulder, and approached him ”What do we do?” Asked Rose in a hurry
”W-What do you Just hit its damn head!” Said Daniel as the lizard shook its powerful body onehi that she could use as a weapon, Dawn reached for the rock that Daniel had picked a few seconds earlier, and started to bash its sharpest corner against the head of the lizard
After every blow the beast would wiggle around, and hiss in a fit of rage, but even after two dozen blows, of injuries, there was no trace ”Stop!” Said Daniel before turning to look at the others, ”The three of you, come down here! We need your help!” The hurry contained in his voice took over the fear that was clouding the minds of Lilith, Cassie, and Saha who jumped off the boulder and ran towards Daniel and the others
With enough hands to handle the job, Daniel tasked Rose with i onto its back, and finally, Dawn and Saha with putting pressure onto the beast's neck with as ht as they could ot off the lizard and walked all the way in front of it He then sat on both knees in front of its head, and after grabbing the rock he had picked with both hands, he began to bash the beast's skull with as th as he could muster
Each blow resounded in the ears of the six cultivators, causing the beast to struggle in a desperate atteet away, but after each strike, it would feel dizzier, and weaker This kept going until, an unknown nu scales turned into the nauseating noise of broken bones, and ripped flesh
Daniel did not stop, and continued striking the same spot from which shreds of brain matter and blood soaked scales started to fly as a result of the constant pounding When he finally stopped, little of the lizard's head was left intact, and its body had stopped
