Chapter 727 - Death To The Witch's Pets

'Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!'

'Greawwwwwww!!!'

The pangeras knocked down the men with their sheer strength before quickly grabbing into some.

Both pangeras had grabbed 2 men now.

Their brownish eyes narrowed and their slimy mouths opened widely when they grabbed onto their prey.

Both pangeras produced disgusting amounts of drool that fell onto their shoulders or races of their prey.

Their mouths that were opened wide, soon revealed an extra set of inner claw-like extensions came out, as well as some tentacles too.

The slimy ugly giant bug-like faces of these pangeras, as well as their tentacles and enlarged mouths, was enough to make one wet their pants.

Even the soldiers who were held captive by then swallowed hard when staring at these beasts up close.

"Your majesty, I don't mean to rush you.

But now is a good time!!" Yelled one of them.

Was his majesty waiting for him to get eaten first?

The pangeras narrowed their eyes and smiled at their prey.

Holding their prey, they were too hungry to notice the commotion around them.

After all, when they knocked the rest of the soldiers, no one stood up before they grabbed their prey.

So even though they heard slight movements, they were too hungry to pay attention at the moment.

All this fighting has made them extremely hungry.

Eat first, talk or fight later.

.

'Graaawwwwwwwwww!'

Their mouths opened widely.

And before they could even enjoy their meal, the hands that held onto their prey were shut and something also flew into their mouths.

"Everyone, run out now!!"

Immediately, the men ran away from the scene, with Landon firing several bullets at the pangeras so as to keep them away.

Of course, the pangeras who didn't know what they swallowed, decided to dodge the bullets while chasing their prey.

How could they allow this meal to escape into the light?

If they leave the cave, then that was it!

The speed of these creatures could make snakes back on earth cover their heads in shame.

Humans would be able to hit a snake with their bullets with ease.

But these pangeras were something else.

Only those with high marksmanship would be lucky enough to hit them at least once.

Such creatures weren't meant to be on the same plane as humans.

It wouldn't be fair at all!

Thankfully, the heavens decided to make them go extinct.

Keeping them was just a catastrophe.

Plus, they were ugly and gross bug-like beings.

So no thanks.

As for Landon, he wasn't like the rest of the soldiers

With the system's help, their super speed was nothing.

.

'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!'

'Woooooooooo!'

The pangeras found that no matter how they tried, they couldn't dodge these bullets.

But they never gave up.

They followed furiously, and soon... they found their bellies getting uncomfortable.

'Grooh?'

They paused and looked down at their growing stomachs in confusion.

And before they could do anything else, they completely exploded into several different parts.

'Splakkk!'

They were dead!

And what did they swallow up, of course it was a grenade!

But even though they were dead, Landon and the rest still kept running for a bit.

That was because unlike what movies would have one believe, swallowing up a grenade could still release large amounts of energy after the victim blows up.

The energy wasn't enough to destroy the cave... But it could still bring damage to those very close to it.

Additionally, any rocks on the floor or anything else could easily be blown town towards them too.

So what if they got hit in the head like that?

That's why Landon and the rest still ran as fast as they could.

And when they felt the impact, everyone edited forward and kept their heads down.

.

'Shrrrrrrrr!'

Th entire cave became dusty.

The leaves that were previously on the ground were now gliding in the air and the creatures inside had splattered on the men.

'Cough! Cough! Cough!'

The soldiers coughed and hit up from the floor

Some quickly wiped the gooey sticky substances that were now on them with disgust.

One of the men who had been held by one of the pangeras, almost puked when he remembered the look the creature gave him when it wanted to eat him.

Ewwww!!

He would rather be shot, stabbed, tortured or even skinned alive than to be eaten by these pangeras.

Thankfully, this was the end of it... or so he thought.

"Your majesty, I never want to see another bug again."

"Hahahhahahahahaha!"

Everyone laughed as they cleaned themselves up.

Landon chuckled too.

He didn't blame the poor soldier at all.

Even he never wanted to deal with them.

But there was one more in Deiferus, and he knew that he needed to take care of it too.

"Alright!

The targets are dead!

So let's explore the rest of the cave to see if there are any survivors."

"Yes sir!"

With that, they ventured deeper into the cave even though they knew that the chances of anyone surviving were slim.

With the way the pangeras wanted to eat them, there was no way that anyone would still be alive.

Nonetheless, it was their duty to dot the 'i's', cross the 't's' and make sure that they left nothing out.

And so just as they expected, they found only bones, armoury and other clothing items of the unfortunate victims from decades till now.

.

Some of the clothes were so old that they tore once Landon stretched them a bit.

The sac-like clothes tore as if they were nothing.

Landon just looked at it all and sighed.

How many people have been swallowed by these beasts?

The soldiers also felt bad as well.

They decided to later send people to get these items and burn or bury them as a sign of granting peace to the dead.

With that, the

It was quite unfortunate.

With that, they carried some scattered pieces of the pangeras' heads and dead bodies, so as to present it as evidence that they had truly killed them.

This way, the townsfolk will feel safer.

Landon and his team left the cave and met the rest of their team outside, who were shocked by their current appearance.

They looked like they had dunked their heads in a tank of brown slime.

It was somewhat funny.

They tried not to laugh while following them back to the town.

Just what in the world happened in there?

.

Back in Menda town, the soldiers did their best to take care of the n.o.bles as fast as they could.

While Jamison, Raul and several other Baymardian government officials continued their work of developing the town.

They first discussed numerous strategies with Jamison for 30 more minutes, before finally sending several town criers around the town.

'Pang! Pang! Pang! Pang! Pang!'

"Hear ye! Hear ye!

The Town Lord is requesting for everyone to go to the town square.

A new change is upon us!"

Naomi here the town crier and quickly dropped what she was doing.

She and her brother Logan ran as fast as they could to the town square excitedly.

Over these past few weeks, they had been impressed, excited and proud by all the changes that have occurred within the town.

Firstly, the rules had changed.

And now not only were common people respected, but they were also getting paid handsomely too.

Even their cousin who was sold as a slave to one of the n.o.bles in town was on the verge of being freed.

And she would also be allowed to work and earn her keep, provided she registered as a citizen and resident of Menda Town.

There were also rules on littering and many rules that at first glance, seemed somewhat troublesome.

But they had seen Baymard's Capital city before and knew that their current state was probably because of these rules too.

So if following these rules and better their lives, then they would wholeheartedly accept them.

Who didn't want to be healthy, safe, not maltreated, well paid, and have their bellies full?

This was the dream!
