Nodding slightly in response, Rey then replied, “Very much so…”
Hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, as Gerald turned to face Rey again—about to say something else—, both favonovel.com and Juno realized that Rey was staring wide-eyed at something behind them…
It was also at that moment when the duo sensed the presence of another being nearby… Something was definitely amiss…!
“B-behind you two…!” yelled Rey, prompting Gerald and Juno to dodge to the side, making sure to drag Rey to safety as well.
The second they were far enough from their tents, all three of them watched as a black figure leaped high into the air… before landing right atop their campfire and putting it out!
Now engulfed in darkness, the terrified Rey yelled, “T-that’s what I saw earlier! I’m sure of it…!”
As if wanting to prove Rey’s point, a pair of beady bloodshot eyes gleamed in the darkness at that moment… and they were staring right at Gerald and his party!
“What the hell is that creature…?!” asked Juno as favonovel.com furrowed favonovel.com brows.
Watching as Rey shook his head, clearly unsure of what it was, Gerald then ordered, “Whatever the case is, disperse! Standing together will only make it easier for it to attack all of us at the same time! Also, get the torchlight in your bag, Juno! I have an idea!”
“Copy that!” replied Juno.
“As for you, Rey! Go find someplace to hide while I deal with this thing!” added Gerald.
Gerald didn’t need to say that twice. After all, Rey wasn’t about to stay anywhere near that terrifying thing! Besides, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com would only get in Gerald’s way if favonovel.com stayed here.
With that in mind, Rey then nodded vigorously before the trio dispersed!
The bloodshot eyes themselves immediately began bolting in Gerald’s direction!
Realizing that the creature was exceedingly fast and was already quite close to him, Gerald successfully dodged its charge attack before yelling, “Any time now, Juno! Light this place up already!”
“Got it!” shouted Juno as favonovel.com shone a blinding light in the direction of the bloodshot eyes!
After Juno tossed another torchlight to Gerald—which favonovel.com easily caught—, Gerald turned his on as well, and with two bright lights shining on the eyes, the trio could finally see what their assailant was…
It was a tusked wild boar! As if its tusks didn’t already look intimidating enough, its entire body was layered with sharp spikes as well!
Staring wide-eyed, none of them had anticipated to bump into such a ferocious beast here!
Regardless, all three of them knew that wild boars were very aggressive, and if one was hungry, it would attack anything it perceived as food… Apparently, they were on its menu!
Either way, all of them snapped out of it the moment the boar began charging toward Juno almost maniacally!
Seeing that, Gerald instantly yelled, “Careful, Juno! Turn the torchlight off!”
