Chapter 457: A frantic struggle to the death
Translator: - - Editor: - -
Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Long arrows catapulted out from the Takji warriors’ bows and pierced into the Dolomedes. The arrow tails fanned slightly, and appeared as though they dealt incredibly fatal damages. While everyone was feeling delighted, the 8 long legs of Son Blindcost folded together as it shrunk back into its tyre state. Those few arrows lodged within its body had been forcefully squeezed out!
With indescribable speed, the Dolomedes bolted through the air and slammed into the nearest Takji warrior!
Still, Takji warriors who were chosen to protect old Mourbo, belonged to the elite category as well. This hunter positioned his bow and arrow into an ‘x’ before him, as he easily received the impact and seized the chance to leap backwards. These was his survival instincts after hundreds of hunting sessions, and this reaction couldn’t be said to be full of flaws.
Yet this enormous Dolomedes had 8 long legs! After colliding into the na'vi’s bow, two of its incisive and furry curled forelimbs unfurled forward, and thrusted towards the na'vi! The impetus of this thrust was like electric currents, making it impossible for any buffering opportunity!
Its forelimbs were acutely incisive and even shaped like a hook. How impressive were the struggling might of those hundred kilo fishes in the lake, yet this Dolomedes, Son Blindcost, could rely on its hook-like forelimbs to start a widespread genocide! As it thrusted towards a na'vi whose strength and agility were inferior to itself, its attack was naturally effective.
Caught totally off guard, the chest of that na'vi was instantly impaled by those incisive forelimbs. “Uwah!” he coughed out a streak of blood. Son Blindcost then withdrew its forelimbs, before sinking two long poisonous fangs into his body; as horrifying digestive enzymes rapidly dissolved the na'vi’s flesh and bones into mucus.
The body of that na'vi hung by Son Blindcost’s mouth; precisely describing, he was like a liquid-filled pouch that bobbled up and down incessantly, attempting to wrestle away. During this process, the Dolomedes voraciously absorbed the dissolved mucus, as its wounds unexpectedly regenerated rapidly. Obviously, its HP had been horrifyingly and rapidly replenished!
Nevertheless, the Takji warriors were predatory by nature. With a fuming bellow from old Mourbo, the remaining Takji warriors had formed into a scale like formation. The ruby eyes of Son Blindcost flickered as it once again transformed into that devilish tyre and lunged over. Though the targetted Takji warrior had similarly blocked forth with his bow, Son Blindcost’s stabbing attempt this time had instead failed!
Twang! Twang! Two other Takji warriors had simultaneously released their arrows, as it pierced into the forelimbs of the Dolomedes. Although such a strike wouldn’t send that savage beast flying, it had successfully displaced the direction of the thrusting forelimbs! Boom! The two incredibly incisive forelimbs drilled into the ground with unstoppable might! Leaving behind two deep holes in its wake.
Seizing the inertia of the Dolomedes’s fanatical assault, the bunch of na'vis unleashed against a forelimb of the Dolomedes. Crack! Its leg was severed, dull-yellow fluids came gushing out.
But at this instant, the mouth of the Dolomedes swelled greatly; suddenly ejaculating a streak of thumb thick translucent thread, pasting against the body of the nearest Takji warrior. The na'vi was forcefully pulled back and bundled up. Within a second, the na'vi-spider pair had been bundled into a sphere. Putong! The sphere splashed into the lake. Although everyone was unleashing frantic assaults, bows and bullets would be influenced to refract in the water; lowering the chances of landing their strikes substantially.
A couple dozens of seconds later, Son Blindcost once again propelled out of the lake like an animated tiger and lively dragon. Not only had its severed forelimb regrown, even its ruby compounded eye that Mogensha had wrecked was rejuvenated. Concurrently, a na'vi was left floating on the water surface. Having been dragged into the water, it experienced the similar fate of morphing into an empty pouch; leaving behind a scene of sorrowful vileness!
Facing a devil with such astonishing regeneration ability, the Takji warriors revealed a horrified countenance. Except one na'vi warrior who wailed aloud, as he fished out a bamboo pipe from bosom and drained it in one gulp. Then, he blatantly dashed towards the lake with insurmountable fury, his eyes brimming with determination.
“His brother was just eaten.” Old Mourbo silently lamented.
At this moment, Mcdh retrieved an elongated sniper rifle from behind. This lanky streamline sniper rifle was coated in silver, and installed with an unexpectedly large scope. Distinct embroidery was painted over its nearly metre long barrel, as it emanated an unspeakable divine impression. He then exclaimed to Sheyan.
“Are your able to tie it down, preventing it from moving for 10 seconds? Remember, it has to remain stationary. After I lock onto it, it can at most shift within a metre radius!”
Sheyan was the primary undertaker of this Golden Side Mission, thus guarding the mission objects took priority; leaving him unable to show initiative in offense. He then glanced towards Reef. Reef nodded as he earnestly issued.
“I’ll try.”
By now, Son Blindcost was viewing a prey that had actually left the pack to engage it. In its pleasant delight, it instantly curled itself and shuttled in for collision. Its spider threads were like its bodily essence, only using it when necessary. Though the eyes of that Takji warrior was burning with fury, his posture was exceedingly composed! Similarly, he stretched out his bow to block! But with such a reaction, he too wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of being impaled by the two incisive forelimbs!
Chii! That na'vi warrior was pierced ruthlessly, yet his eyes contained no agony; instead, it burned with malicious bloodlust. Following that, Son Blindcost continued insatiably dragging its prey towards itself. Its venomous fangs twinkled brightly, seemingly prepared to inject its victim with digestive enzymes. Then, its fangs pierced into the Takji warrior, as it poured its digestive enzymes into his body.
Only before that; though one could see the tremendous pain this Takji warrior was in, he shockingly pulled out his bone-blade slung across his chest, and slashed against the incoming venomous fangs. In spite of its incisive toughness, those venomous fangs ultimately sprouted out from succulent gums. By baring its fangs, Son Blindcost immediately exposed its weakness. That Takji warrior was already seething with hatred within, and exhibited his final burst of potential amidst the excruciating pain. With one swipe, he sliced off the two 3 finger-long black venomous fangs in succession.
Having a vital part suffering a grievous blow, Son Blindcost unleashed a nefariously thrilling and agonizing screech! Apart from its extracted venomous fangs, it still had two poisonous canine tooths that were specially used for ripping through thick hide of ferocious beasts. Still, the Dolomedes endured the pain and scrambled to the lake with the dissolving na'vi. By this time, Mogensha had already begun frenziedly firing, and was able to break two of its legs before the Dolomedes entered the lake.
Mogensha couldn’t help but sigh.
“Alas, that na'vi was courageous, but he died in vain. He sacrificed his life, but his flesh would forcibly become nourishment for that Son Blindcost; supplying energy for it to rejuvenate its wounds.”
But before Mogensha finished his words…..Son Blindcost, who was currently absorbing its prey, could be seen suddenly breaking out in violent convulsions. Following that, it widened out its mouth within the lake, and spat out muddy light-yellowish fluids that were mixed with strips of red thread. Moreover on the contrary, not only was its bodily wounds not recovering, it worsened!
In reality, when that Takji warrior had dashed out, he already harboured a suicidal intent. Firstly, he drank down the entire pipe of toxic fluid that was supposedly used for dipping arrowheads. The eventual outcome didn’t need to be explained further. In summary; when that savage abominable, Son Blindcost, attempted to heal itself, it ended up pouring lethal toxins into its own belly.
Its bitter and resentful ruby eyes then fixated onto Mogensha! Employing its simple thought process – those taller blue preys were poisonous, while that black dwarf prey would surely possess no risk. Most importantly, it too found Mogensha’s onslaught unbearable!
Water splashed disorderly, as Son Blindcost suddenly wheeled towards Mogensha. Having two severed legs, the speed of the Dolomedes had plunged significantly. Unhurriedly, Brother Black half knelt to the ground, as he squinted his eyes and released burst shots of 3; as rounds of bullets drilled bloodied holes into the opponent’s body.
Just when this massive abomination was about to slam against its target, a figure shot in horizontally out of nowhere! Indeed, it was Reef who had activated his ‘Courage’ ability! With the safety net of ‘Life-link’ with Sheyan, he presently held no reservations. Roaring furiously to the heavens, an incorporeal shockwave swept out! Then, he bluntly guarded his front with his ‘Alien Shield’ against the collision of Son Blindcost!
Only this time, the Dolomedes repeated the same story; with a cold shimmer, its twin forelimbs thrusted forth once again! Instead, Reef had long prepared a suitable answer to his opponent’s tactics. With a twist of his body, though his agility was lacking, he managed to scarcely avoid one of the ferociously thrusting, incoming forelimb. Then, he pounced forward to receive the unstoppable thrust of the other incoming forelimb!!
As for Son Blindcost, it only felt a single forelimb lodging into warmth. It had already employed immense force into this lunging thrust; yet right now, it was further enhanced by Reef’s reckless and unreasonable charge in. Psssh! Its incisive forelimb emitted a piercing resonance, as it stabbed deep into Reef’s abdomen; to the point that it pierced out from Reef’s back! One man and one beast tangled closely together, resulting in a most bitter struggle of life and death!
At present, old Mourbo watched on with unprecedented shock. He could’ve never expected this group of outsiders to possess such valour. He clearly understood the mortal consequence of a close combat battle like that, but that outsider was bold enough to engage in a fleshy entanglement! Presently, the remaining Takji warriors were also not idling by, raining down on their opponent with torrents of arrows. That massive Dolomedes contracted in its 6 other limbs, gripping onto Reef as it rolled and attempted to drag him back into the lake.
