Chapter 114 Dear Emma

"Bang bang!!"

Two more shots were fired.

The cave was very dark, and if the monster's body wasn't white, Milo might not have been able to pinpoint its location with the naked eye.

His marksmanship, inherited from Carl, was absolutely precise, but the white shadow rushing down the cliff was simply too fast.

The first eight bullets fired all struck the rock face of the cliff.

Even before the sparks from the bullet colliding with the stone wall had died down, the enormous white shadow had already entered within ten meters of Milo.

……

At that moment, a piercing howl came from the white monster's mouth.

The sound was extremely eerie, because it didn't resemble any known beast's cry, but rather sounded more like a human vocal cord, with a piercingly high pitch and clearly discernible anger within it.

In this situation, the human voice coming from the monster's mouth is actually more chilling.

The terrifying screams echoed through the underground cavern.

The pilgrims who were prostrate on the ground behind them all started to move!
Milo didn't need to turn around to hear the sounds coming from the stiff joints of the worshippers.

At that moment, Rebecca's voice came from behind:
"I only found Kai! The rest..."

"Take her out first!"

Milo kept his gun pointed forward, and with a backhand motion, he drew his Bowie knife and precisely pierced the throat of a worshipper who was lunging at him from behind.

With a sudden slash to the side, the blade severed the opponent's head.

Meanwhile, Rebecca, surrounded by worshippers, is also striving to rush in another direction.

Milo's gaze never left the white monster's figure for a moment.

What he saw was a creature over two meters tall, with the basic body structure of a primate, long limbs, a slender waist, and what appeared to be many raised bone spurs on its torso, but without any hair.

In a daze, Milo seemed to see a hint of Raven in the monster, since they were both tall and thin.

But this is not surprising, because half of its genetic material comes from ravens.

……

The worshippers behind them continued to stir.

They began to surround Rebecca and Kay from all directions, but they shouldn't be able to cause Rebecca too much trouble in the short term.

Milo saw that the monster in front of him had stopped and started pacing back and forth.

It walks upright on two legs, and its walking posture is very similar to that of humans.

Although the two were less than ten meters apart, Milo still couldn't see the other's full appearance.

However, it is clear that this is a creature with high intelligence. Unlike those worshippers who blindly rush towards guns and blades, it may even know what the gun Milo is holding is.

It was still pacing there.

Milo could hear the sound of its claws scraping against the rocky ground. No matter how the monster moved, the muzzle of Milo's revolver remained firmly fixed on it.

He didn't mind the stalemate.

The longer they stay, the closer Rebecca and Kay get to the cliff face and steps.

Following Milo's instructions, the two of them escaped from another direction, avoiding a collision with the white monster. However, Milo didn't have much time, because once the worshippers reacted, his position would become the center of a pincer attack by the worshippers and the white monster.

Soon, Milo noticed that Rebecca had broken out of the encirclement with Kay and was rushing towards the stone wall along the edge to the left.

The white monster naturally noticed the two of them as well.

But just as it turned its head to look in Rebecca's direction, Milo swung his sword and pierced the head of a worshipper who was close to him.

He deliberately ended the worshipper's life in a very cruel way to attract the monster's attention.

As it turns out, Milo achieved his goal.

He heard the monster's breathing become increasingly rapid.

"It seems you treat these things like family."

Milo withdrew the blade from the split skull and flicked away the bloodstains on it.

He sensed the monster's growing rage, so he simply turned his gun around and emptied the magazine to his side and rear in one go.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Four bullets blasted open the heads of four worshippers.

The sight of brains splattering everywhere finally enraged the monster in front of it. It ignored Rebecca's situation and charged towards Milo on all fours!

……

Click.

The new revolver cylinder was quickly pressed into the gun.

Milo used his left hand, which was holding the knife, to brace the gun and fired three shots in the direction of the monster.

But to his surprise, the enraged monster was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, Milo saw a ferocious white claw slashing down at his head.

He barely managed to dodge to the side, and three bloody marks instantly appeared on his cheek.

Milo avoided 99% of the force of that claw strike, and what was ultimately shattered was a rock on the ground behind him!
Milo was startled.

Using the momentum of dodging, he changed direction, trying to quickly create distance between himself and his opponent.

You should know that he has absolute confidence in his strength and speed.

Because after peeking into the tombstone of the dead, he will not only inherit the memories and skills of the deceased, but his physical attributes will also be significantly improved, something he has verified in his previous hand-to-hand combat experiences.

But if Milo had been even 0.1 seconds slower than that claw strike, he felt his head would have been ripped off.

The shattered rocks completely dispelled Milo's idea of ​​confronting the opponent head-on.

After dodging the terrifying claw, the two essentially switched positions. Milo rolled on the ground to dissipate the force before emptying the remaining bullets from the magazine into the opponent's back.

bang bang...

The bullet pierced the bone spurs on the monster's back.

Its body trembled to a certain extent, but the movement of its limbs did not slow down at all.

Before Milo could even change the magazine, he saw that over one meter long arm swinging towards him again!

……

"There's no point in fighting here, goodbye."

Milo knew the state of his current body, so he dared not linger for too long.

After switching places with the other person, they scrambled and prepared to make a quick getaway.

But running alone won't do any good, and Milo doesn't think he can outrun it on its own turf.

So after sprinting to the back of a protruding rock on the ground, he suddenly turned and threw a brownish-red glass bottle into the menacing "plantation" on his right...

As the glass bottle flew over the "plantation," Milo thought about changing the magazine, raised his gun, and pulled the trigger!

boom!
BANG!!!!

The flames instantly engulfed the entire plantation!

The violent shockwave blasted the densely packed mushrooms into fragments, which flew everywhere.

Milo, who was temporarily hiding behind the rocks, was not touched by the mushroom fragments.

The sound of the explosion made the cave tremble.

Milo didn't dare linger. After confirming that the scorched mushroom fragments had stopped falling from the sky, he took off running.

"Thank you, dear Emma."

At this moment, a huge hole was blown open in the center of the plantation.

The fire continued to spread in all directions, shattering not only the fungi but also the nutrients that were piled up below, barely clinging to life...

……

As he ran, Milo noticed that the white monster wasn't chasing him.

After hearing the monster's piercing scream, he couldn't help but glance back.

By the blinding light of the fire in the plantation, Milo finally saw what the monster looked like.

What he saw was a very human-like face, with the same proportions as a human, but above the forehead, where hair should grow, were countless raised, spherical structures that gleamed eerily in the firelight…

Those look like... eyes?
Eyes that resemble those of a raven...
