The Dark King – Chapter 291

Dudian saw the exit of the cave which was supposed to lead to the outside. However it was closed down with huge rocks and boulders. The cave was blocked. Sun light penetrated down from few gaps.

Dudian rushed to the exposed places. But he wasn't able to squeeze through the gaps. The splits were extremely tight. It seems that the monster was worried that some other beast would come in and steal its eggs while it was out in a hunt.

“Damt it!” Dudian found a slightly larger gap at the mouth of the cave. He tried to move the boulder. 'Kaka'. Gravel rolled down from upper places. The rocks and boulders were not fixed.

Dudian was desperate when he felt slight trembles.

He quickly jumped down and crawled onto ground. He pushed his ear and listen to the high frequency, earthquake like trembles. It was similar to the vibration which he felt when the 'splitter' left the last time.

"It’s back!"

Dudian pupils shrank as he quickly climbed up and ran back to the cave.

As he was running towards the corpses he heard the rolling sound of boulders from the exit. It was a like a mountain was moving and changing its place. He quickly rushed to the pile of corpses. Dudian picked up limbs and organs of a few scattered monsters and covered his own body. He covered his face with a broken hairy limb of a monster. There was a small gap which Dudian used to observe the movement in the cave.

At this time the sounds of rocks rolling down stopped. The ground trembled and Dudian saw the ferocious figure coming towards them. Its body was covered in sharp scythes which made it look like a super cutting saw. Every part of its body was similar to a weapon. The splitter was simply a well-built super war machine!

The 'splitter' stopped in front of the monster corpses. Dudian was not able to see where its head or eyes were. However the middle part of its body spun and bodies of the monsters fell down. Some of them were ama.s.sed over the place where Dudian was hiding in. The gap which he used to observe the 'splitter' was covered too.

After a while Dudian felt that 'splitter' had left. His body was covered with less monsters in comparison to previous time so he was able to detect the movements through his ears. He heard the sounds of boulders moving so he knew that 'splitter' had gone outside.

Dudian's heart sank but he was also relieved. Even the idea of coexisting in the same cave with the 'splitter' was creepy.

He struggled right and left. Dudian was able to dart out form the heap of monster corpses. He came to the entrance of the cave once more. The dense rocks and boulders still covered the exit. However he was still holding to a glimmer of hope. He looked at a large place from where s.h.i.+ny sun light was penetrating in. He tried to squeeze out but the monster haven't left him such a lucky gap to pa.s.s through.

Dudian was in a despair. He had to check the boulder one by one to see which one was loose from the outside so that he could open it up.

“If I had the magic marks of a black weaver then I could drill a hole and leave …” Dudian would love to have another magic mark's ability but unfortunately everyone could have only one magic mark.

Half an hour pa.s.sed as he tentatively tried to push the ma.s.sive boulder. The vibrations resounded once again. The splitter was returning.

Dudian was scared as he thought about 'splitter' hunting speed. It was not hunting but harvesting fruits from the tree! It was indeed the overlord of this area. No monsters would be able to compete with it and it will always be able to pick a snack.

Dudian ran past the corridor created by the monster. He squeezed in back to the original place and tried to not cause too much of change. He was afraid that it will catch 'splitter's attention. After all, there was not much records about this legendary beast. There was only a sketch as well as simple information. They roughly made a judgement on its hunting level. Its preferences, IQ, life habits and so on weren't known.

Dudian felt that if the monster had a high IQ then he would be a dead meat sooner or later.

However as he took the current performance into account he thought that the monster wasn't a high IQ beast or else it would never have this kind of physical strength and ma.s.sive body. It's seems its brain wasn't developed and it acted on instincts.

Rumble ~ ~

The boulders broke apart again as the seaweed like body of the monsters rushed into the cave. It once again brought back the monster that it had captured. These bodies rolled down the mountain of corpses and slipped. A huge humanoid creature which was about three meters in height fell down. It was a large variant skeleton.

This variant skeleton had a huge wound on its chest but it was not a fatal injury. It stood up and began to bite the other monster corpses as soon as it landed.

Puff! It wasn't even able to bite a few mouthful when a cold light pa.s.sed. Dudian wasn't able to see when or how the 'splitter' acted. But he clearly saw the head of the variant skeleton roll on ground while its body fell down. Black blood spewed out from its neck as if it was a hot springs. Its head rolled and stopped close to Dudian. He was able to see the variant skeleton's lifeless eyes staring at him while there was a piece of flesh which was still in its mouth.

Dudian saw the wound at the neck of the variant skeleton. He determined that the 'splitter' had acted out of instinct and killed the variant skeleton. It seems that 'splitter' was aware of the deadly part of variant skeleton's necrotic neck and accurately attacked that part instead of tearing out its whole body.

The 'splitter' once again left as it dumped the body of the monsters. Obviously the amount of monsters in here was not enough to pa.s.s through the black snow season.

Dudian was in relief as he saw the monster leave. He climbed out and went towards the exit once again. There was still hope in his heart that the 'splitter' would leave a gap enough for him to squeeze out. The other was a monster and would inevitable make a mistake.

However after a lap of observation Dudian's hope was ruthlessly torn. The gap between the boulders was only an arm thick. His body wouldn't be able to squeeze out.

He understood that these boulders were ma.s.sive rocks for him but in 'splitter's perspective they were just small stones. It could easily put them away in one swoop and unseal its own cave.

Dudian tried to push the boulder but felt abdominal pain. He looked down at the wound of stab. There was traces of complex feelings in his heart. If he didn't pick up Scar's body the last time, then perhaps his own body would be punctured two or three times over. The tip of 'splitter's scythe was enough to tore through his chest.

They were small prey so the 'splitter' hadn't even tried to kill them but just made sure to catch them. It seems while it had attacked them, its scythe had pierced and cut off Scar's arms while the smaller tip had pierced his abdomen and left shoulder.

After a moment of silence Dudian pulled out the first aid kit. He took off the armor from his upper body. He sense the strange blood scattered on his wounds. The blood had penetrated into the wound.

Dudian's face changed as he used the disinfectant to wash the blood off that had been scattered over and near wound. He used a small piece of gauze to wipe the wounded area and wrapped it with the rest of the gauze.

In addition to the abdomen, Dudian made sure to clean the wound on shoulder and scratches on his legs.

As he was about to finish dealing with the wound Dudian heard the vibration again. He quickly put on the armor and cut off fur of a monster. He covered his armor with the fur so that the blood of other monsters wouldn't infiltrate the gauze and infect his wounds once again.
