Chapter 204 Craters!
"I think we should move," Jack said as he looked in the distance.
Faneel looked at him and nodded. "Let me pack up." He said and looked at Jack's tent and Feba was coming out of it with a blush on her face.
"Tsh..." Faneel looked away and moved towards his tent and started folding it.
Soon enough Jack and Feba also got to work and in no time they packed everything up.
"Follow me and stay on your toes we might be attacked anytime," Jack said and started moving towards the North again.
Feba and Faneel moved behind him with guns in their hands and their eyes looking for any disturbance in the grassland.
Jack on the other hand took out his notebook and pen while moving ahead and then asked a question.
"Will we face these monsters again on our way?" He asked and wrote yes and no options and soon enough got his answer.
'Yes...' He sighed and placed his notebook in the bag again, he then took out his automatic rifle and started moving with vigilance.
"Rawar!!" After moving for about an hour they suddenly heard a roar from above them.
Feba was the first one to look up and gulped her saliva. "Is that a flying tiger?" She said and quickly pointed her gun at the monster.
Jack and Faneel also looked at it and pointed their guns. Like the other monsters, this tiger was also black in colour and it had bat-like wings on its back and it's mouth was covered in tentacles.
"Bang... Bang... Bang..."
Jack shot three bullets from his gun and it directly hit the tiger's head.
"Ahhh...."
The tiger shirked and started to fall to the ground in a weird trajectory trying to flap its wings.
However, no matter how hard it tried, it could not keep up for the moment and lost consciousness in the air and finally landed on the ground while blowing grass and soil apart on the place it landed.
The Tiger was so heavy that it created a small crater in the land where it fell.
The three of them took in a deep breath and a relieved expression appeared on their faces.
"It must be dead. You are amazing dude." Faneel said and moving his gun down he started to move towards the small crater.
Jack stood at his place while taking in deep breaths, while Feba looked at him with a glimmer in her eyes.
'He is so much better than the sharpshooters in the organisation.' She thought and moved towards him.
"Rawr...!" Before Faneel could step close to the crater, a large gust of wind blew and the tiger rose from the crater again.
This time angrier than before.
"How the fuck is this thing not dead!" Faneel yelled and pointed his rifle at the flying beast and began to shoot.
Feba on the other hand turned her head and looked at Faneel and her eyes widened, a worried expression then appeared on her face.
"Faneel!" She yelled as she saw the tiger opening its jaw and moving towards Faneel at high speed.
Although Faneel was also a great shooter, he was not on the level of Jack and most of his shots landed on Tiger's body, which only enraged it more.
Feba took her gun and also started to shoot, she was a senior member of the Red Collars so most of her shots landed on the tiger's head just like Jack's.
However this time there was no effect on the tiger, it was as if it suddenly became bulletproof.
"Jack..." Feba clenched her teeth and called out Jack's name when she saw the tiger almost reaching Faneel.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..." Suddenly gun sounds started sounding from behind her ears and every one of the bullets started landing in the tiger's left eye.
Black-coloured blood splattered everywhere and the tiger fell again with a roar, this time just a meter away from Faneel.
This time however Jack didn't stop shooting and continued to empty his bullets straight in the tiger's head.
His every shot landed in the tiger's eye again and again.
Feba and Faneel looked at Jack with their eyes widened. 'He is a monster...' Faneel thought and stepped back.
He had never seen someone with such an accurate aim, and that too what an automatic rifle.
"Move Back Faneel," Jack said and started stepping towards the tiger.
Faneel listened to his voice and nodded, he then broke out of his stupor and moved back giving Jack way.
Jack on the other hand finally stood above the crater and looked at the dead tiger in the pool of blood.
He shot a few more times and after seeing no reactions from the tiger did he calmed down.
'It's finally dead.' Jack thought and sighed in relief.
"We should keep moving," Feba said from behind and stepped beside Jack. "I think we should move before more of these creatures come." She looked at Jack.
Jack listened to her and nodded. "Let's go." He said and started moving forward after picking up their bags.
"Rawr!!! Rawr!!!" However, before they even moved five hundred meters away from the tiger's dead body, some more roars started reverberating from behind them.
The three of them turned around quickly and in the distance, they could see ten more Tigers flying in their direction.
"Fuck!" Faneel exclaimed and clenched the gun in his hand tightly.
Feba on the other hand also took in a deep breath and gulped her saliva.
Just killing the one tiger took so many bullets and it almost killed Faneel, now they were facing ten more of them.
Jack on the other hand looked at the tigers with his eyes narrowed and raised his gun.
"We will have to fight them!" He said and started shooting.
Feba and Faneel looked at him and nodded. They also calmed down when they saw a calm expression on Jack's face and began shooting too.
"Try to aim their eyes," Jack said and emptied a few rounds and one of the tigers in the air fell with black blood spurting out of its eyes.
....
"Rebecca!" Ren yelled as he looked at a black dog running towards Rebecca with its tentacle mouth open.
Rebecca on the other hand looked at the dog too and took in a deep breath.
"Shoot it to death!" She yelled and pointed at the dog and soon enough bullet after bullet rang from each side and before the dog could reach Rebecca it fell dead on the ground.
After seeing that Rebecca was safe, Ren let out a sigh of relief and moved towards her.
"We have faced ten of them by now." He said as he looked at the dead dog.
Rebecca listened to him and stayed silent. "Be grateful that we didn't face a flying tiger or half of us would already be dead."
"Flying Tiger?" Ren asked with his brows raised.
"Yes, there were mentions of them in Boseman Family notes and although the tigers come rarely, it's said that they are bulletproof and their only weak spot is their eyes." She said as she looked at Ren.
"We can kill them by shooting in their eyes," Ren said.
"Do you think anyone here is capable enough to soot a flying object so precisely?" Rebecca asked with both of her hands over her waist.
Ren turned silent and then moved his head to look at one of the bags in their team. "That can help." He said.
"No! We can't use it on the flying tiger. There is something more dangerous and it will help us if we ever face it." Rebecca said and also glanced at the big bag.
Ren listened to her and took in a deep breath. "More Dangerous?" He asked.
"Yes, just pray that we don't meet it." She said and then looked at her team.
"Let's go!" She yelled and started moving forwards.
Ren stood rooted at his place for a few seconds and then started moving forwards with a sigh.
"Madam we have found something." After walking for few hours, one of the guys form Rebecca's team said as he pointed at a crater in the grassland.
Rebecca who was looking at her compass, when suddenly heard his voice looked up and then her gaze followed the direction were the soldier was pointing at.
"What is it?" She looked at Ren, who was standing over the crater and looking down.
"A tiger..." Ren murmured as an uneasy expression appeared on his face.
Rebecca soon came besides him and also looked down the crater and her eyes widened in terror.
"This must be a flying tiger... Someone killed it!" She said and took in a deep breath.
She has read about the horrors a flying tiger could bring and now one if it was laying dead in front of her.
"It was shot by a gun." Ren said as he looked at the wound in its eyes.
"Someone entered before us." Rebecca murmured and closed her eyes for a few seconds.
"How?" Ren furrowd his brows. "You brought the Boseman Notes and none but you knows the spell." He said.
"I don't know!" She said and clenched her first.
"Madam!!!" Suddenly another terrified voice came from besides her.
"What?!" Rebecca looked at the man who yelled.
"There are more craters!"
