In Dean's heart, this dark and silent cave had become the last hunting battlefield in his life. No matter the result he would go all out.
The sound of rough friction came from afar and slowly stopped in front of the pile of corpses. The sharp scythe cut the sand on the ground of the cave, making a soft sound. Soon, a slight tremor came from the pile of corpses, followed by the sound of chewing and swallowing, as well as the sound of bones cracking. It seemed that it had bitten a hard bone and was stubbornly chewing and grinding it.
It had learned to use the bones of its prey to hone its sharp teeth!
Dean took a deep breath and very carefully turned his head. He looked out from a small gap in the corpses. He saw a miniaturized version of splitter crawling in front of the pile of corpses and eating. Its seagrass body was like a praying mantis' scythe arms. It was using two of its scythe arms to pick up the corpses and stuff them into the organs that were protected by layers of hard armor. The hard armor was like the shell of a crab. It looked extremely hard.
This should be its head.
Dean quickly thought about many fighting scenes, how to get close to it, how to stab the dagger into its head, and then kill it. He quickly rehearsed in his mind.
At this moment, splitter who was eating suddenly stopped chewing. It slowly turned around and looked at the place where Dean was hiding. It seemed to be hesitating. After two seconds it slowly moved over. Its scythe arms were like a peacock spreading its tail. It made an attacking posture.
Dean who was hiding under the corpses was surprised. He didn't expect splitter to be so sensitive. He just took a glance and it was able to detect the difference.
Suddenly he thought of another problem. Since the little splitter was aware of his existence then the adult splitter must be aware of him! But it didn't kill him.
Was it … to be a whetstone for its child?
Dean knew that some beasts would abandon their children in the early stages and let them experience in the jungle. Although this splitter didn't do so, it didn't seem to have any intention of taking care of its child. This could be seen from the different types of monsters it had captured. For example, monsters like the demon claw crocodile. Even if it was dead, it was still extremely difficult to chew. The armour on its body was too hard. There were also other monsters, some of which were highly toxic, but still couldn't escape its hunt. Its purpose was probably to say, "I've found food for you. Whether you can eat it or not depends on your own ability."
Dean realized that he survived not because of the goddess of luck but because he was used as a moving food by splitter so that his children could move their muscles and bones before eating.
As these thoughts flashed through Dean's mind, the splitter approached step by step. It used its long and slender scythe arm to cut the monster's corpse on Dean's body.
The monster's body didn't move even after being pierced by the scythe.
The splitter seemed to be confused as it grew another scythe arm. It was thick and wide and the blade was serrated. It fiercely cut the monster's body back and forth. Thick black blood seeped out of the monster's body along with a faint smell of decay. Fortunately, the temperature in the cave was extremely low and it was humid and cool so the decay of the monster's body wasn't serious.
Soon the monster's body on Dean's body was almost sawed in half but there was still no movement.
The splitter stopped and seemed to be looking at Dean in doubt.
After a while, it stretched out two awl-like sharp organs and pierced into the demon's corpse. With a puff, it completely pierced through the body.
Dean who was under the monster's body felt a sharp pain in his chest. The hunter's armor was easily pierced by a sharp object. Fortunately, the monster's body was thick and the 'Splitter's' body was small so it didn't penetrate deep. So it was only a minor injury.
Dean clenched the dagger and gritted his teeth to endure.
Splitter withdrew its sharp organs and looked at the corpse strangely. It lifted its scythe-like arm and swung it left and right. It wanted to turn the corpse over. But when its scythe-like arm was about to turn the corpse over, a silver light suddenly burst out from under the corpse.
Splitter was surprised. He didn't expect that the 'dead thing' that he had been attacking would suddenly come to life. He was caught off guard. He raised his scythe arm and swung it down at the same time. It was Dean's dagger that was full of killing intent as it hit the monster's body. The silver light bounced off the monster's body and fell to the ground next to the cave. It was Dean's dagger.
The splitter was startled.
At the same time, Dean suddenly rushed out from under the corpse of the monster. He stepped on the shield formed by its scythe arms, turned over and climbed onto its back. His hands clung to the place where the monster had previously eaten.
He was secretly glad that he had chosen to throw the dagger instead of holding the dagger for a sneak attack. Otherwise he would have been cut into pieces by the countless scythe arms.
The splitter issued a panicked scream as Dean held the head of the splitter. It was mixed with anger. Dean didn't care about the injury on his left hand as he heard the scream. He roared and twisted the scythe arm with all his strength.
In the face of this monster whose whole body was a sharp weapon, Dean did not know whether its scythe arm could twist 180 degrees to attack his back, but intuition told him that it could. Because of this, once it reacted, he would be cut into pieces in an instant. The strong fear and desire to win made him burst out with the greatest strength in his life, twisting his arm to this part.
Kacha!
The scream of panic and anger was suddenly full of pain. It was extremely loud and harsh. Just as it reached the high part, it stopped abruptly. Puff! The sound of blood splashing rang out. Dean's body suddenly became light. His body was driven by a huge force and flew out. He fell down, rolled seven or eight times, and hit the wall of the cave behind him. His head hit the stone heavily. He was so dizzy that he almost fainted on the spot.
He struggled to shake his head, his remaining consciousness telling him that he must not faint. Soon, his buzzing brain gradually stabilized, and his thoughts and consciousness became clear again. His first reaction was to look up, and he saw the monster with an extremely terrifying body structure. It was frozen in front of the pile of corpses, blood flowing from its front, and its body was motionless.
Dean couldn't help but look down at his hand. It was a triangular armor. It was extremely hard and the inside of the joints was torn.
Was it the head of the splitter?
Did he forcibly break it off?
Dean sat on the ground in a daze. It took him more than ten seconds to recover. He saw that the new splitter lost its balance and slowly fell to the ground. It was completely motionless.
Dean believed that the splitter was not pretending. It was really dead.
He hugged its head and slowly got up to take a closer look. He saw that blood was continuously flowing out of its head, coating the dark ground with a layer of bright red paste.
"It's dead …" Dean felt that his whole body was relaxed. He felt that it was incredible but also lucky. The whole process was completed in an instant. If it was a head-on battle then he wouldn't be able to defeat the splitter with bare hands. The weakness of the body was a natural shortcoming of human beings. It was something that couldn't be changed. Fortunately, in order to make up for this point, God had given humans extremely intelligent brains.
Recalling the moment of life and death, Dean felt a little scared, but his blood was boiling.
After a moment, he gradually restored his calmness. He immediately ran to the entrance of the cave. He saw an impenetrable pile of boulders. He went forward and looked around carefully. He was extremely nervous as this was his only chance to survive.
Gap!
Gap!
Dean muttered in his heart. His eyes widened as he looked around.
