Chapter 91 - 91. Pchew... Pchew... Pchew... (1/2)
”Ready when you are, Red Four and Red Five. Both of you are able and can have a go at it together. Remember, be careful always, don't be too cocky and hasty and...” I was cut short by those two as they choruses, ”Hit hard, hit fast, kill swiftly and silently... Pchew Pchew Pchew Pchew ...” chorused the duo as Kayla added the sound effects which made them laugh and loosened the situation.
”Go... Go... Go...” Jane and Kaa cheered on as they were being ushered through the dungeon door and the Quest Master can't help it but patted in their heads as they went in and followed closely by me.
”I won't be too far behind. Since there two of you, one take the left and the other in the right. Watch out for those crates what might be sent flying towards you if these beasts were enraged. You won't want to end up like Ingles or Adam.” I advised as the two of them went down the spiral staircase and entered the level 1 dungeon.
”Eewww... What is that? It looked like a black bolster... Ewww... And it's soft... Don't tell me this is poop that I just sank my foot in...? Ewwww.....” Kayla grimaced and shrieked as her foot sank into the poop of the giant rat and she looked at me helplessly at her foot that is now being covered with rat poop.
”Uncle Prius mentioned 'Finders Keeper' so this is good for fertiliser, don't you think Daddy... I mean Red Leader? Shall we keep it?” asked Kayla who was looking at me who was leaning against the wall a short distance away.
”You keep it, Kayla...” said Jane ”NO... You keep it. I stepped on it and discovered it, so you shall keep it.” argued Kayla and they were bickering just as they entered the dungeon. ”Haisshh... How long would they keep up like this... They haven't even seen the rats yet and now they are arguing whose going to carry the shit back.” I shook my head and better handle the situation before someone gets hurt.
”HEY... HEY... YOU TWO BETTER STOP BICKERING. BOTH OF YOU ARE CARRYING WEAPONS, NOT DOLLIES...” I hollered at them since I've got no choice. I don't want to end up shooting one another. ”FORGET ABOUT THAT RAT POOP...LET'S GO...” I hollered once more and this made the two girls continue ahead.
”SSHHRRIIEEKK... Daddy what's that...??!! Is that a rat or a monster...??!!” Kayla once again kicked a fuss and I have to intervene once again. ”KILL IT FAST... There's 42 of these and they will get bigger as you progress...” I instructed and Jane is the one that took the initiative to shoot at the big-ass rat first.
”SHOOT... SHOOT... SHOOT... PCHEW PCHEW PCHEW” shrieked Kayla as she shot alternatively with her two crossbows. Soon with the combined effort, the rat fell to its side and disintegrated to the floor...
”Eh...? That's all from the rat? It seems easier than it looks. WHEEE... THIS IS SO MUCH FUN...” Kayla was searching the ground here it disintegrated and found no spoils or anything they could bring back up later.
”Daddy... I mean, Red Leader... Don't these rat drop any spoils, meat or hide?” asked Jane and I replied out of irritance, ”If they do drop meat, do you think you want to eat them? They are sure big and their meat surely would be tasteless and tough. Furthermore, less talk more action please.”
The levels are easily cleared as instead of one shooting at the beast, 4 bolts were fired simultaneously.
As we cleared the passageway filled with rats queuing up to get killed, we soon reached the end of level 3 and were at the door leading to Level 4. ”Be careful girls, Mummy doesn't want you to get hurt in any way, understand...”
”Yes, Daddy... I mean....” Kayla replied as I waved my hand at her. It doesn't matter right now what they had called me as long as they can get out of here safely.
As they entered level 4, they seemed rather shocked to see the size of these rats that had somehow multiplied in size and also were queuing up to be hit one after the other. As the rats shrieked and spat as they ambled forwards the girls, both can't help but shriek back in horror...
”SSHHRRIIEEKK... SSHHRRIIEEKK... SSHHRRIIEEKK...” the shrieking girls somehow stopped the advancing rats as they had never heard such sharp shrieking in their lives before. ”SHOOT AND MOVE, SHOOT AND MOVE...” I shouted to them from a distance as they finally realised what was happening and unleashed their bolts and did what was instructed by me. After every 8 bolts, the beast fell to their sides before groaning in despair for not being able to counterattack.
Little did I realised that both girls were closing their eyes as they shoot because the beast before them somehow terrified them out of their wits. They just stood there and hoot their bolts straight as the beast slowly advanced and let itself get hit and fell to their sides.
