430 Deceased monkeys (2/2)
As his words faded, the nimble ape had already leapt in front of Reef. With an uncanny cray, it pushed forward its claws and pinched. Fortunately, Reef’s wasn’t weak in reacting. Raising his shield to block, he resisted the monkey’s pinch. Though that was so, its claw still punched an oppressive sound onto the ‘Alien Skull’, scraping out glaring sparks!
Yet right at this instant, Reef already activated the natural ability of his shield – ‘Tongue Thrust’ !
Shua! An oddly sharp tongue catapulted out from the mouth of the Alien skull. The tip of the tongue even hosted sharp ivory tooths, and hastily gnawed at the monkey’s chest. While inflicting damage, it even induced a stunning state.
Meanwhile, Mogensha had pulled out his Wasp revolver, as he half-knelt and aimed over. Then, he activated ‘Beastly Instincts’, allowing his formidable battle spatial awareness to select the optimal offensive target! At this moment, Mogensha could feel a throbbing pain in his head, coupled with an unexplainable burning sensation; as though his MP was depleting fully.
Instantly, the bullets within the Wasp revolver was unloaded fully. Without mercy, the bullets pierced into the body of that disgusting and stinky monkey, before mutual internal collisions unleashed an exceedingly vigorous chain of explosions! Immediately, a blaze curled to life alongside the stench of scorched matter. Preceding that, Reef had already been warned by Mogensha, exclaiming to him, “careful!”. Thus, to avoid friendly fire, Reef had sent the monkey flying with a kick first, before Mogensha had opened fire.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Mini explosions transmitted in succession, sending the fried monkey flying while utterly wrapping it in smog and flames. When the monkey crashed to the ground, it was completely unable to maintain balance; attempting with its might to stand but could only repetitively collapse down. It currently exhibited an unbearably hot and restless countenance, as its innards had visibly spewed out. It was clear the monkey had suffered extremely severed injuries as it repeatedly coughed out greenish black pus.
Actually, the explosions didn’t appear very intense, but Sheyan could distinctly sense the concentrated might within those explosions; therefore though they appeared lacking in extravagance, they couldn’t be described as weak. Around the periphery of its core injury from the explosion, not only had its blood all evaporated, even its flesh seemed to have been grinded away; with remnant embers still nibbling at its belly, roasting with sizzles!
Evidently, this strike from Mogensha had dealt grave damages to it. All of a sudden, a black shadow scuttled out from nowhere and hoisted the ape up before fleeing. It was actually that elite slinger mount!
That slinger had originally fled with a broken leg, yet nobody would’ve expected it brazenly return to rescue its owner. The stranger part was, a slinger’s movement speed could normally count as its shortcoming, being creatures merely adept at shadowing others. Yet nobody could imagine this elite slinger was so valiant; even with a fractured leg, it could still sprint away with unbelievable speed.
“Chase!” Sheyan immediately snapped. Although his legs were still inconvenient, he braced himself with a wooden branch and limped in pursuit.
Of course, Mogensha and Reef weren’t willing to stay their hands as well, and set off in hot pursuit. Towards a prey that was heavily wounded, further intense running movement would result in aggravating its wounds! Moreover, the foul stench coming from the monkey’s body had transformed into their greatest tracking trail. Very swiftly, following the dispersing sounds of urgent footsteps, and after having experienced this brief clamorous uproar, the forest regained its tranquility...
***************
Blood droplets dripped continually.
Flowing out from a badly mangled flesh window.
Flowing through a muddled mess of fur.
Flowing through the air of planet Pandora.
Finally, it splashed onto the ground.
If one peered backwards, one would notice speckles of bloodstains implicating into a meandering trail. The blood traces seemingly manifested into a roadsign wherever it went.
A slinger with only 5 legs arched its crooked back forward, as it hobbled up a challenging and steep slope.
The monkey carried over its back, would occasionally sink into fits of violent coughing; coughing as though its heart was tearing apart, wanting to stop but unable to do so. Such dry coughing held no other significance, apart than speeding up its blood loss.
