Chapter 726 - The Deadly Pangeras 2
'Chreahh!'
'Chreahh!'
'Chreahh!'
The men advanced quietly, and all that could be heard was the soft sounds of twigs and leaves rustling under their feet.
And as they progressed, their head torches lighted the way for them.
Some torches were pointing upwards, while others were pointed sideways and forward.
It was always best to be prepared.
What if something grabbed them from the top?
Everyone focused on their task at hand while slowly advancing in formation.
The cave was dark, a little chilly, and huge.
Not surprisingly, they couldn't find a single bat within sight.
One should know that when these Pangeras woke up, their bellies seemed like an endless wormhole.
Their digestive capabilities were almost supernatural, and when they had to hibernate again... they would enter their cocoon and stay there for the next 10 months.
But when they were awake, they felt hungry almost every time.
So what bat would want to stay in this cave?
The only reason why they stayed in the cave when awake was due to the sunlight outside.
But in this dark cave, they never needed to worry about the sun.
That said, which bat would risk staying here?
Moreover, any unfortunate creature that wanders into the cave would be killed too.
Landon looked at the systems map and knew that these creatures had heard them.
And now the creatures who were previously resting, were now going into hiding.
From his estimates, in the next 3 minutes, they should clash with them.
Time passed by swiftly and soon, 2 minutes had gone up.
And just up ahead, everyone could see that they were about to step into a bigger chamber within the cave.
"Everyone!
This might be their lair, so stay focused.
And remember, they like to climb the walls and ceilings." Landon reminded, before looking at his map again.
It was time.
.
'Chreahh!'
'Chreahh!'
'Chreahh!
The soft sounds of twigs and leaves rustled again under their feet as they slowly advanced while pointing at all directions around them.
People focusing on the back, check!
People focusing at their sides, check!
People focusing upwards, check!
People focusing forward, check!
Check! Check! Check! Check!
And while they were advancing with caution, just a little further ahead, these pangeras salivated at the large number of food that had entered their cave.
It's been a long time since a heavy meal like this one purposefully delivered itself to them.
'Greaww!'
They communicated amongst themselves and slowly crawled on the high walls towards their prey.
And as they crawled, their long scissor-like mouthparts started twitching.
Their prey was so close to them.
Dammit!
They couldn't help themselves anymore.
'Graaoww!'
'Bang!
Bang!'
Bang!'
'Gruuuuoooh!'
The creatures cried out in pain while viciously staring at their prey.
As for Landon and his men, if they knew how these creatures thought... they would raise their middle fingers in the air.
What?
So they were the only ones who were allowed to be the hunters?
Hmph!
Now it's time for these pangeras to taste the feeling of being hunted.
The entire room had been silent with only the sound of the twigs and leaves breaking under their feet.
So the moment these creatures started releasing their low predator sounds, sod they think that they wouldn't hear it?
Or were they so confident in their speed that they thought that Landon and his team would be toast?
Well, if Landon and his men were ordinary, then that strategy would've worked and might've even sent many to panic too.
But, they were Baymardians dammit!
So F-you!!!!
.
'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!'
'Woooouuuhhh!'
Bullets were sent flying towards these pangeras, even though 70% of bullets missed.
Judging from their results, one might think that these soldiers went to the Prometheus Star Wars Clone school where they learned a sh**ty job of firing at their enemies just like the stormtroopers.
But you would be wrong.
It's not that they were bad and had terrible stormtrooper aim.
Nope!
The problem was that these pangera motherf***ers were just too fast.
Nonetheless, they did manage to hit the pangeras though.
Particularly, one of them took almost all shots, while the other just hid behind his brother.
No, more specifically, he actually grabbed his brother and used him as a shield while running around the place.
What a bastard.
[Bastard pangera: brother, don't worry, I will avenge you.
Shield: Avenge your head!
I'm not even dead yet and you're already planning my death?
You let me go now!]
'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!'
Bullets rained here and there, and even though one of the pangeras was injured, it wasn't enough to kill him.
Their skins were very tough.
Landon realized this too and decided to up the danger level a little.
He just had to make sure that whatever he did, he didn't bury him alongside his men with these bastards.
But while Landon was thinking, his opponents were done running too.
.
The bastard pangera threw his brother to the side and both of them rolled into a ball.
'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!'
They moved in a zigzag manner before coming straight towards the group in an attempt to break them apart.
And their speed alone was terrifying!
'Bam!'
Everyone jumped in either direction while holding their guns tightly.
Warren Officer Samuel was just about to get up, when he suddenly felt something kick him violently.
'Pah!'
He slammed into the wall and fell.
The pangeras had 30 legs (15 on both sides) and were very long and strong too.
So they began swinging their back bodies at full force to deal Landon his men.
One could see that they were clearly venting out their rage from earlier on.
'Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!'
Some of the soldiers slammed against the wall.
But before they were hit, some of them had shot or taken out their knives and stabbed these pangeras.
'Woooooooooowww'
The pangeras cried.
And while this was going on Landon and his men had been discussing the next step.
Now, it was time to end it all.
