Chapter 14 When to Attack

After the blind mountain monster vented its rage, the area within dozens of meters was a complete mess. It slumped to the ground in the mud and panted heavily, like a broken, amplified bellows. The thick gray skin on the mountain monster's body was also damaged in the previous frenzy, especially at the elbows and knees, where the flesh underneath was clearly visible. If you add the minor injuries caused by the attacks of the Symbiosis Society members earlier, it could be considered covered in wounds.

Crowbar first checked on Das, who was unconscious. After confirming that he had indeed suffered a severe head injury that would prevent him from waking up for a short time, he stood up, his eyes flashing with a strange light. This change was so abrupt that Geli felt a sense of unfamiliarity, as if the boss next to him had suddenly become a different person.

"Now is our great opportunity!" Crowbar ran to the front, clenching his fist and waving it. "This damn monster is completely blind, and it's raining heavily now with a lot of noise. We only need one person to attack and one person to make noise nearby, so the risk will naturally be reduced to the limit!"

Despite Crowbar's impassioned words, Geli couldn't help but think of the three dead companions—the scene of them turning into bloody, rotten flesh and the tragic end of being digested by the mountain monster's gastric juices made him shudder. He couldn't help but stammer:

"Boss... should we wait a bit? This monster is blind, maybe it will bleed to death."

Crowbar's face darkened instantly, and he roared:

"Wait? You idiot, the mountain monster is a legendary creature after all, and its adaptability is very strong. It's still in a period of panic from blindness. Once it gets used to this state and learns to find enemies with its ears, then we'll have to risk our lives again to kill it. I'll go first! When I retreat, you shout loudly to disturb its hearing."

At this time, Crowbar finally took out his melee weapon—a rather sharp-looking iron hook, which seemed to flash with a deep blue light. Fang Senyan had seen a lot of these in the last Caribbean world. Many pirates with limb disabilities would install iron hooks or wooden legs on their stumps, making them look not much different from normal people. However, iron hooks with deep blue quality were quite rare.

Crowbar lowered his body, the iron hook in his hand flashing with a deep blue light in the cold rain, and rushed towards the huge monster that was panting. He raised the iron hook, and in a flash of cold light, the sharp hook pierced into a broken skin wound on the right ankle of the mountain monster, and then he pulled and tore it violently, ripping off a large chunk of flesh.

The mountain monster seemed to be burned by fire, and jumped up with a strange cry, letting out an extremely painful scream. It instinctively grabbed towards the source of the injury. But Crowbar had already rolled away on the spot while attacking, and Geli shouted loudly to cover up the sound of Crowbar's escape. As a result, the mountain monster's next few frenzied attacks were blindly useless, except for splashing mud and water on the ground!

"Your turn." Crowbar was covered in mud and looked quite embarrassed, but his eyes showed an indescribable madness and excitement. He wiped his iron hook and directly glared fiercely at Geli, obviously not allowing Geli any possibility of refusal. Under the pressure of the situation, Geli's eyes also revealed a fierce light of desperation. He pulled out a handy, sharp serrated military knife, and when the mountain monster began to sit down and pant again, he slowly touched it, and then suddenly stabbed the wound that Crowbar had cut open before, then stirred it hard!

This extremely vicious stab made the mountain monster scream shrilly. The large tendons and blood vessels at the mountain monster's ankle were cut off. Geli simply omitted the time to pull out the knife, and very simply let go and rolled away. At the same time, Crowbar shouted loudly to interfere with the mountain monster's hearing. Therefore, Geli's first dodge was quite thrilling, and the mountain monster's second attack missed. The serrated military knife also fell out of the mountain monster's wound. Geli managed to pick up the knife and escape unscathed.

In this situation, the mountain monster was attacked by these two people in turn, slowly reaping its life, but the mountain monster had brute force but nowhere to use it. Later, even the screams were weak. Especially at the right ankle, Crowbar kept attacking one spot, even revealing the white bones, and even standing up was shaky.

Of course, as the mountain monster gradually adapted to its blindness, its counterattacks became more and more threatening. First, Crowbar was caught off guard and slapped away. Although he was not seriously injured, he was startled into a cold sweat. Geli was kicked by the mountain monster's frantic attack while escaping after the attack, vomiting blood and flying out, his head and face covered in mud and water, and his health points dropped directly from 70% to below 30%!

At this time, both sides could be said to be exhausted, but the difference was that the two members of the Symbiosis Society could slowly delay the time, waiting for the remaining drugs and recovery items to cool down between uses to restore their health, while the mountain monster could only rely on its own recovery power to slowly breathe. Therefore, Crowbar and Geli could be said to have an advantage in terms of attrition, but at this time, Crowbar waited for Geli to recover a bit, and still insisted:

"Let's attack its ankle one last time. I've calculated that if we attack one more time, its right leg will be completely crippled! Now!"

Geli wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and originally wanted to say something, but he forcibly endured it because he saw the mad and excited look in Crowbar's eyes at this time, as if he had become a different person. He knew that no matter what he said at this time, Crowbar would never change his mind! Besides, in the face of the high reward for killing a legendary creature, he also rushed out with red eyes.

The mud under his feet was cold, and the indescribable stench of the mountain monster's body fluids assaulted his nostrils. The wounds on his body were also aching faintly. But Geli felt that this time his attack timing, speed, and strength were perfect, cleverly seizing the mountain monster's moment of exposure!

The sharp serrated blade cut deeply into the gray-white tendon. The sound of the extremely tough elastic material being cut open by a sharp weapon made Geli extremely excited. Then he contracted his body, retracted his abdomen, bent his waist, exerted force, and pounced to the left. Although doing so would make a "crashing" sound when contacting the muddy ground, it was the only way to leave the mountain monster's body as quickly as possible. Moreover, with Crowbar shouting loudly on the opposite side as cover, the newly blinded mountain monster could not possibly react in the first time!

While pouncing out, Geli's whole body was completely relaxed, and he even had a sense of pleasure that "it's finally over." However, he always felt that something was wrong, just like forgetting to lock the door when leaving home, forgetting to bring a condom when whoring, or forgetting to add salt when cooking, but he couldn't remember what was missing. It was not until he realized that the mountain monster's fierce and terrifying attack was following him like a shadow that he realized what the problem was...

The shout!

Damn it, Crowbar, this beast, didn't shout to cover him!

At this time, although the mountain monster's legs were severely injured, it had gradually adapted to the darkness of blindness. Therefore, although it was still raining heavily, as long as it calmed down and listened carefully, the sound of Geli rolling and crawling was also very easy to identify. This huge monster had been suppressed for so long, and all the resentment in its heart was vented. It roared shrilly and pounced frantically in Geli's direction.

At this critical moment of life and death, Geli also roared. His heart was also filled with strong unwillingness and anger at being betrayed. He even burst out with the potential before death, and his hands dug into the mud desperately. He didn't even feel the blood flowing from the cracked nails on his ten fingers. Then, with the strength of this desperate dig, he rushed towards the bushes next to him. If he could successfully escape into there, the sound would undoubtedly be much smaller, and the chance of survival would be greatly increased.

But in front of him, a person appeared!

Crowbar!

Crowbar's face was wooden, and his eyes contained a bit of guilt, but more of a release and fanaticism that had been suppressed for a long time!

Although the two belonged to the Symbiosis Society, attacking each other would not cause damage unless they declared war first and confirmed it, and the attacker would pay a very heavy price. But this does not mean that members of the Symbiosis Society can violate the laws of physics, penetrate each other, and treat each other as if they do not exist.

So Geli was knocked away by Crowbar, but the speed of his pounce also stagnated. The mountain monster's big feet had already roared down, stepping Geli's lower body directly into the mud from mid-air. Intense pain came, and Geli's screams had just exited his mouth when he was kicked away by the mountain monster again. In the whistling wind, he only felt that the surrounding scenery was blurred into a large piece. When he landed, his eyes went dark, he entered a dying state, and he knew nothing.

Although the mountain monster looks clumsy and stupid, it actually masters a set of its own predation skills. Like the previous step and kick, it would have followed up with a pounce. But at this time, its right ankle was severely injured. When it was habitually about to exert force and pounce, its right foot transmitted severe pain and it was completely unable to exert any strength. The entire huge and heavy body rushed forward, and it fell down in the mud in an extremely embarrassing manner. The mountain monster let out a painful hiss, but it was tumbling violently in the mud, unable to stand up.

When Crowbar saw this scene, he laughed wildly at the sky. The laughter was sharp, piercing people's eardrums. The laughter was full of a triumphant liberation. The mountain monster not far away heard his voice and tried to move over, but the bones in its right ankle had been completely crushed by its own weight, and it could not use any strength at all, so it could only scream shrilly!

Suddenly, Crowbar's laughter stopped abruptly! It felt as abrupt as if his neck had been cut off. His face became extremely ugly, and there was an indescribable horror and anger in his eyes. He looked at the deep black forest on the right and said word by word:

"Co-come out."

In the dark dense forest, a person slowly walked out.
