Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

"This is dangerous!" Luna held Duna tightly by the arm.

"If we fail, we will die," Ponzi shook his head, "no! if we fail, we will definitely die."

Zi started to sob lowly, "do we really have to do this? I rather die by debt than die by that thing."

Carla on the other hand looked at Chiron.

He nodded at her.

Chiron's plan was crazy and dangerous. In fact, if it was another person, this plan might have failed, but Chiron had a few secrets up his sleeves.

Their first target was actually the Giant grey-horned Ape.

This beast was a Green cored beast.

Even amongst Green cored beasts, it was considered a lord.

This could be seen in how it had killed the Rabid big foot rabbit in one bite.

Rumours even had it that this particular beast was just already half a step into becoming a Blue cored beast.

Naturally, this meant that unless the person was of the copper rank, hunting this beast face to face-was the same thing as courting death.

Even Jan Jan's party had only set traps from a far point of safety, and many times, they still had party members leaving with terrible injuries.

As the name implied, the Giant grey-horned ape, was a giant.

A casual slap from its palm was sure death.

Both Chiron never had the mind to approach the beast head-on.

After all, strength was important, but why do things with brute force if the same or even better results could be gotten by simply using brains?

Chiron's plan was simple.

If we can not bring the monster down with brute force, then we give it an opponent that can.

....

Everything was set.

The giant ape because of its size, ate a lot.

It was practically in a state of constant hunger. And since it was about to break into the Blue cored stage, it needed even more fuel.

This beast was a regular hunter.

However, Chiron was going to use this strength and turn it into a weakness.

Something smelt good in the air.

At least it smelt good to the Giant grey-horned Ape.

The smell of which it could not resist.

It had no choice but to leave its cave.

In front of its cave was a bunch of dead Rabid big foot rabbits. They were all bunched up together into a ball.

Chiron and his party members watched carefully from a well-hidden and safe place.

The Giant Ape came closer and after sniffing the ball of dead rabbit meat, it took it up and swallowed the entire thing.

Blood flowed down from its mouth.

It suddenly turned and went back towards its cave.

"Chiron, it did not work," Duna whispered, "it is going back to its cage!"

However, the beast stopped. It turned around and sniffed the air some more.

It held its tummy with one hand and then the look on its face changed as it sniffed the air following the trail of blood in front of it.

Once more, it found another ball of dead rabbit meat and ate it. However, it was not satisfactory.

In fact, it looked as if its hunger had been excited a little more.

"Wow! it's actually working," Ponzi commented.

"I can't believe that the powder can be that useful," Duna commented.

What had happened was quite simple.

Chiron had told them that he would ensure that they get the horn of the Giant grey-horned Ape without fighting it, and the key to doing this was Duna's powdered spice.

The same powder of spice that he had sprinkled on the carrot when they were hunting Rabid big foot Rabbits.

After hunting Rabbits this time around, the powder spice was sprinkled on the meat.

The idea was for the Giant grey-horned Ape to continue to eat free food until it got to another beast's lair and fought.

The plan seemed impossible but it was actually working.

Duna thought that it was his powder spice that was doing the trick.

What none of the party members knew was that the Powder Spice that Duna used did not do anything.

The true reason why the plan worked was that while the others were not aware, Chiron had used the Ancient language of Runes on one of the dead rabbits, and had carved out the Rune for hunger.

This way, no matter how much the beast ate, its hunger for more only increased. It was just never satisfied.

But there was more to this Rune.

The Rune ensured that the hunger was specifically to only one type of meat.

This beast craved only Rabid big foot rabbit meat.

Every ball of rabbit meat it ate carried a carved rune in it.

In other words, it only ate to get hungrier.

The blood trail led to the lake that Zi had tried to drink from the other day.

In there was another unfriendly beast.

It was a water head Jelly fish.

No one knew how that Lake had such a beast, but no one was also willing to find out.

Safety in the cultivation world came by cupping one's curiosity.

Even the cored beasts around avoided the lake. No one wanted to be that beast's dinner.

However, the giant grey horned Ape, led by its hunger was heading for the lake.

Chiron and the remaining party members followed the Grey horned giant Ape until it got to the Lake.

Chiron gave the signal and Dune cut a rope that had been prepared ahead of time.

The rope launched the last ball of Rabid big foot rabbit meat into the lake.

The Giant grey horned-Ape saw this and rushed into the lake for the ball of meat.

Want happened next was the same thing anybody would expect when a thief entered another person's home.

Firstly, the Water head Jelly fish spread its tentacles around the meat. It was going to enjoy the free food it had been blessed with.

But how would the Giant Grey horned Ape allow such a thing...
