Chapter 236 Mysterious Monsters

Phoenix immediately sped toward the direction that Jake had gone to. The scream had shaken her to the core.

"Looks like he found one of them." She thought to herself as she tried her best to catch up to him before the thin separation that was created in the pink mist disappeared.

But as she was going in that direction, she noticed something.

The pink mist around her was slowly thinning out. It was only thinning out in this particular section. She still couldn't see in a distance, and the distance was clearly full of this pink mist.

It was just this one section that was thinning a little.

And with that, she could see a silhouette in the pink mist. One of a tall and sturdy looking man.

"Is that Shadow King? No, it could be an enemy." She muttered as she raised her sword toward the silhouette.

,m "Put your sword down, Phoenix. I am no enemy. You should take a look at the actual enemy though. Truly interesting." Jake chuckled as he said.

Phoenix took a few more steps forward, and as she did, she could see exactly what had taken place. In front of her, she could see that Jake was standing over a corpse.

"Why is the monster still here? Why didn't it disintegrate? Shouldn't it disappear?" Phoenix asked.

"Ah! Have you forgotten what I told you about the monsters here? They don't die unless you pierce its head. And it would be a pity to kill this thing just yet, before documenting what it can do." Jake shook his head.

He used his sword to turn the monster's head around.

That was when he could clearly see the monster in its true form.

It looked like a woman, but in place of feet, this monster had a snake's tail.

The woman herself was absolutely stunning, with curves that didn't seem possible.

"Are you done looking at it, you pervert?" Phoenix snorted.

"You can't blame me. I don't think that I know of any monsters that are supposed to be on land and look like this. They look way too different than any thing else I know about." Jake said,

"I don't expect you to know about it. I mean, no one has probably seen something like this. And the skills they have, they ware way too interesting." Phoenix shook her head and said.

"Indeed. Now then, what do you think this thing can do? I mean, other than shoot out the pink gas, of course." Jake said.

"I mean, there has to be something else this thing can do other than just obstruct our view. Or else, it wouldn't have come our way. A monster that looks so humanoid has to have some intellect." Jake said.

"I don't know. Why are you asking me? Maybe this monster is just stupid? But there is no way that this is the only one. Killing it thinned out the pink mist for this place, so maybe there are a few more that are surrounding us?" She suggested.

"That must is obvious. They are working with the wolves. And they are clearly clever enough to play dead." Jake said as he raised his foot and stepped on the monster's head.

"Aargh!" Another shrill scream came out from the monster.

Once again, this scream was loud, and pierced Jake's and Phoenix's eardrums.

"So goddamn irritating." Jake cursed as he kicked to the ground, as the corpse slowly disappeared.

"The loot is not something we should be worried about now. We can always collect it later, and take a look at what it holds. For now though, we need to try and find more and more people." Jake said.

"We do not know if the monsters are capable of some illusions? I mean, maybe this one just didn't show its true power, because I was too fast for it." Jake suggested.

"Illusions? I mean, maybe they can disguise themselves as one of us, and if one of these monsters disguises itself as one of the normal soldiers, then-"

"Shut up." Jake barked.

"How dare you." Phoenix retorted, but before she could say anything, Jake moved again.

He moved right this time, creating another thin line that showed his path.

"Not again. This man, always moving before he warns me. What if we separate. It is just not safe." Phoenix shook her head and chased after the line before the thin mist around her filled the gap.

She quickly saw that the mist was getting thicker and thicker, and she could have potentially lost Jake.

"This is why I should deal with only professionals. That idiot just singled himself out, and now, he had to fend off against an unknown enemy all by himself. And he didn't even tell me what he was chasing." Phoenix cursed.

She turned around once or twice trying to see if there was someone ready to ambush her.

Clang!

Suddenly, she heard a loud steel clang.

Aargh!

Immediately after that, a shrill and pricing scream shook her for the third time in as many minutes.

"This guy, how does he keep finding these monsters? I can't see any of them, and yet he found two of them in such little time. I need to find out how he does this." She cursed as she chased after the direction of the sound that just came out.

It was loud and too obvious to miss.

"With a sound this big, many other should also come after this sound. How did no one respond to my messages though? I will make sure they will hear it from me after this whole things blows apart." She muttered to herself as she ran forward.

Soon enough, she could sense the mist thinning. One of these mysterious monsters had died again.

"What is wrong with you? Any one of these monsters could have heard what you were about to say. If they didn't have the idea, then they would have gotten the idea of disguising themselves as normal players if they heard you." Jake suddenly appeared before her, chiding her.
