Chapter 99: 93. Hunting
Dexter opened his eyes back at camp and saw Lily in front of him practicing some basic punching moves.
He decided to keep quiet and he began to stretch. His bones made some creaking sounds as he stretched and Lily looked back and noticed that he was back.
"You're back. The others have already left to hunt." Lily said with a smile and Dexter patted her head.
He knew that she wanted to hunt too to grow stronger. He had a problem with this though as he wouldn't like a power hungry person.
"How about we catch up with them?" Dexter said.
"Really?!" Lily looked at him excitedly.
"Of course." Dexter stood up and flexed his arms.
"I have a score to settle with a guy called Marco." Dexter grinned as ge walked out of the room with Lily.
As Dexter walked out of the warehouse he saw a soldier talking to Kila and he waved for her.
She immediately ran over to him.
"You're back? How's the trap?" She asked excitedly.
"It's okay. What's left is to wait for him to show up. And then, we catch him." Dexter said while balling his fists.
"I can't wait." Kila looked at the floor with a sad face.
"Hey, I'm going out to hunt. Wanna come?" Dexter asked but Kila just shook her head.
"I've been on cold blood for a while so I want to get to know my new blood source." Kila grinned.
She looked back at the man in a soldier uniform who smiled at her the moment their eyes meet.
Dexter only sighed.
"Just don't kill him. The people will notice." Dexter said as he walked away towards the camp entrance.
...
In the ruined city, two kilometers away from the military camp, a group of people surrounded a large creature.
It was a giant black cobra snake. It was 12 metres tall and it had long fangs which looked extremely dangerous.
"Don't let its acid hit you!!" Marco shouted as he charged toward the snake from the side with a large sword.
Johnny ran over with his hammer and Chapman ran towards the snake with two short blades in both of his hands.
Beatrice, Hannah, and Tracy stood at a distance while observing.
"So you don't have a skill or weapon yet?" Beatrice asked and Tracy shook her head with a sigh.
"I don't." Tracy said.
Beatrice put her hand in her side pocket which was close to her knee and she brought out a pistol gun.
"Here. You a shooter?" Beatrice asked as she handed the gun over to Tracy.
"The bullets might not work on a high level creature but it will surely work on creatures of Lower level." Beatrice said.
"Thanks." Tracy then began to flex the gun in her hand.
It had a black exterior and was kind of light in her hands.
"It's light." Tract said with a confused expression.
"You have more strength points than that of an ordinary human being." Beatrice said with a tranquil face and Tracy nodded.
*ROOOOAAARRR!!!*
The large snake suddenly changed direction to towards them and Beatrice was quick as she shot out bullets wrapped in wind which made it faster and gave it more penetrating power.
The snake recieved a couple of hits on its face but the bullets didn't pierce through the skin as its scales were tough. It stood tall and then closed its eyes as it raised its head high.
"Fuck!! Acid attack!! Get out of rhere!!" Chapman shouted as he leapt towards the snake and slashed at it with his swords, making shallow cuts.
The cuts weren't enough for the snake to stop and it sprayed acid at the place where it saw humans.
Beatrice was fast too as she already pulled Hannah and Tracy away before the Acid of the snake could reach them.
The snake suddenly roared loudly as it became agitated and it began to slither faster then usual.
It whipped Johnny into a building that wasn't very far away and Marco stopped to activate his skill.
Beatrice and Hannah began supporting from the sides by shooting magic projectiles towards the snakes
Hannah with her wind bullets and Beatrice with her wind manipulation skill and guns.
The snake suddenly turned away from the human it whipped into a building as it turned to where the projectiles were coming from.
*ROARR!!!*
It slithered towards them, going in zigzag patterns as it got closer and closer to the ladies.
Suddenly, a rock spike rose under the snake which almost got its head but got its body instead.
The snake roared out loud in pain as it turned to the side to see Marco and Chapman. Marco had his greatsword inside the ground while Chapman had a hand on his shoulder.
The snake raised itself slowly and got out of the spikes, it then began slithering in more irregular patterns, slowly moving towards Marco and Chapman.
"Fuck it!! I can't get an aim!!" Marco said as he trusted his sword even deeper and multiple earth spikes rose up from the snakes path.
Marco wondered how smart the snake was for it to be able to move in such patterns and avoid all his spikes while simultaneously moving towards them.
"This isn't going to work." Marco said as he removed his sword from the ground and charged towards the monster.
The snake saw that the human wasn't making any more spikes and it made a very fast spin, using its tail to whip Marco and Chapman away to another building which they broke through.
The snake saw something beside its vision and it saw the women running towards a safe spot and it charged towards them.
"Hannah!!" Tracy shouted as the snake raised it's head and dived down to take Hannah in one bite.
However, before the snake could reach her, a large black transparent spike raised from the ground and the snake was already coming down so it helped the spike and it went deep into its body, killing it in the spot.
Hannah opened her eyes to see a large black, transparent spike tin front of her and she looked up to see the snake impaled on it and she fell on her butt as her body was trembling.
"Are you okay?"
Hannah looked up to see Dexter in front of her lending her a hand and she was never so glad to see him.
