Chapter 72: First Fight Together!
Miles decided to hunt with the duo and they walked deeper into the forest. As they were walking, they got to know each other closer. They werent in the same stronghold with Miles, but they had no trouble with moving to him since all they received in theirs was scorn and bullying. Although they had a couple of things to do before being able to move. Xavic was especially anxious to move closer to Miles, so he could pay his debt sooner. Although Miles told him over and over again that he shouldnt worry about it, the guy wasnt willing to let it slide.
Miles also talked about himself a little bit and shared his contact information with them while explaining his powers. For now, the only one in the team who could actually hurt monsters was Miles, so they decided to hunt together and share their loot. The first orb, which he took from the horse-like creature, went to Xavic, the second would be Zalls, and the third would be Miless.
As they were walking deeper into the forest, hoof sounds reverberated in the silent forest. Miles signaled them to follow him, but because they were lacking military training, they couldnt understand him so he had to whisper to them to follow him.
Miles pulled them behind a tree, but the poor tree was having a hard time hiding giant Zalls body. The man was taller than two meters at least half wide. So, anything coming from the other side could see Zall hiding there.
When hooves sounds were getting closer, Miles leaned slightly to take a look and was taken aback when he saw what was making the sound. Thunder Camels! He exclaimed with greed! How couldnt he? Thunder Camels were too valuable.
Like their Earth counterparts, Thunder Camels had water bags in their bodies where they stored liquified lightning. They could fire that liquid lightning-like waterjet cutting whatever was standing in front of them. They were one of the most dangerous creatures in the forest, but they were also so rare.
After all, it would take years for them to fill their water sacks with liquified lightning, so they wouldnt easily use that liquid to fight. They would keep it for the last resort. And to prevent an increase in usage, they would hardly leave their nest which was in the center of the forest. To encounter four of them at this part of the forest... Miles was gobsmacked.
Camels looked at the giant hiding behind the tree, and they looked like a deer in headlights, they decided to charge over only a second later after realizing what was the thing hiding. Take formation! Miles ordered and hid behind Zall with Xavic. While they were traveling, Miles became the de facto leader and planned their formations. Zall would be at the front, Miles in the middle, and Xavic at the rear. Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
Shall I stun it? Xavic charged a thunderball and threw it towards the camel.
Stop, idiot! Miles looked at Xavic and kicked Zall from his back and sent him flying between bolt and camel. Xavics attack landed on Zall, while Miles also knocked further away from the camel. Camel looked at Miles with rage. It wanted nothing more than killing that human, causing him so much damage.
It opened its mouth, and the waterjet flew towards Miles on the ground. Miles looked desperate and on his face, there was unwillingness and regret. Camel liked the expression and kept firing the waterjet.
Miles looked at the waterjet approaching and jumped all of a sudden. His desperate face turned into a smug smirk, as he jumped to grab tree branches on top of him.
The beast looked at Miles as if he was looking at a moron and wondered if that human really thought he could escape by jumping in the air. But the crying voice of its kind stopped his thinking as it looked at where the voice came from. There, three of its kin lay on the ground with fine cuts on their bodies. All three dead. Killed by its waterjet. The camel looked at Miles's smug face with rage, then anger started to rise in its body, but a dagger appeared out of nowhere and stabbed its eyes.
The last remaining eye looked at the perpetrator. The one stunned earlier was holding the handle of the dagger still stabbed to its eyes. It was about to go rage mode and murder all three of them when he noticed the smug-looking human running at him with record speed. The human jumped into the air, and feet grew in his sight. When the foot was in front of him, its mind went black, died.
Nice work guys. Miles smiled and mopped his brows. Zall, man you are too hard to push even when you are not trying.
Sorry, Bro. Zall laughed cheekily, as they approached camels to collect their loot.
