rescued by a demon beast
1469 Words
Ten minutes after Charlie had entered the ground. A group of demonic beasts led by the brown snake and flame feathers, arrived at that same stop he was standing on before disappearing.
"His aura disappeared at this spot!" The snake demon stopped, it looked round the place but couldn't see any sign of him, except for the furnace that was still burning and the remainder of the giant chicken leg on the grill.
The chicken noticed the chicken leg that was still roasting on the grill. He ran up to the grill and held the chicken leg tightly while crying, "my son! Who did this to you!"
A few minutes later, flame feathers finally got hold of his emotions. It wipe its tears with his wings before cluckling to the sky for the third time today.
"Wrap up his remaining corpse, I must give him a befitting burial" flame feathers commanded, and the only ape in the group quickly wrapped the leg in the foil paper he found near the grill.
The packaged chicken was put in the bag that was hung over its shoulder.
His head was emmiting imaginary smoke as he glared at the spot where Charlie disappeared.
"Blue eyes… find him for me!" Flame feathers commanded.
A blue eyed fox walked to the spot, sniffed the ground for a few seconds, " Earth manipulation ability! His scent is still fresh, he couldn't have gone far."
"Fine, I'll fish him out." Flame approached the place. The other beasts quickly made way for him and created a distance of about 120 metres between them.
Flame feathers lifted his gigantic leg and stumped hard on the ground. The earth split and a trail of fractured ground was left in its wake.
The chicken quickly disappeared in a flash, following the trail of fractured ground.
The ape carrying the grilled chicken, after making sure that everyone has gone, silently opened the bag, unwrapped the foil a little, then began to nimble on the chicken.
"We'll be your lookout, just give us a few bites," hearing this voice, the ape quickly hid the chicken and wiped his oily mouth with both hands, acting as if nothing happened.
"No need to hide anything, we've seen everything and it has been recorded here." The blue eyed fox walked out from the shadows and waved a white crystal in the ape's face.
"What do you want?" The ape asked.
"An equal share! " A red haired wolf answered.
"Fine.. you all can have a share, but don't overdo it. Flame feathers must not find out about this." The ape warned.
The ape took the knife on the table near the grill and shared part of the chicken leg to everyone of them.
They all sat down on the ground near the fire as they chatted.
"The boy is highly skilled in making grilled chickens, look how soft little flame's meat is, how sweet it tasted in my mouth… sob… sob… may his gentle soul rest in Peace." Blue eyed cried.
"What a sweet little guy… I'll miss him"
The brown snake who have not yet had the ability to talk sobbed silently as he chugged a bottle of beer down his throat.
"Why are you back so soon? Have you captured the stinky human?" The ape finally asked the question that has been eating up his heart since the start of their feasting.
"Lieutenant Flame feathers asked us to go back, he said he'll kill that bastard with his own hands." Blue eyed explained.
The ape kept on serving the people little flame while his father was busy doing hide and seek with his murderer.
Unknowingly, the group had finished more than half of the chicken leg. Blue eyed gulped, then looked at the remaining leg with wide eyes. The others followed his sight and they began to sweat buckets of water.
"We're dead! We're dead! We're dead!!" The ape kept on mumbling the word Dead. The group of beasts all wore sadness on their faces while thinking of what next to do.
Suddenly! Blue eyed's eyes lit up and a sly smile crept up his face, "I have a solution!"
"Let's hear it!" They all shouted at the same time
"Before I say it,I have two conditions. you all have to promise to do one thing for me… and… the remainder of the chicken leg is mine," the blue eyed fox said. It motioned for the ape to open another beer bottle for him. He chugged it down while waiting for the beast's reply.
"We agreed."
…
Few hours earlier…
Using the earth escape technique, Charlie had escape from his crime scene. He was about going up to check his map for directions when a powerful force sent him flying out of the ground.
He spotted almost two pints of blood while in mid-air. When he landed, he felt as if his kidneys had changed places with his liver and his heart had ran up to his throat; his internal organs were in disarray.
He swallowed two healing pills before diving down into the earth once more.
While he was digging his way out of the place, another force sent him flying out of the ground.
"You're the awakened who killed my son?"
Charlie was about diving back into the ground when he heard a curious voice in his ears.
"You're the father? Your son tastes quite well! I guess you'll taste better… wash your neck and wait for me." Charlie taunted the chicken, then dived deep into the ground to escape.
They both played a game of whackamole for a while, before charlie finally disappeared from its sight.
"The most dangerous place is the safest…" Charlie muttered the words as he navigated his was back to the crime scene using the earth escape technique.
When he reached the place, he was met with the sight of five demonic beasts beating themselves up. While the sixth one was busy munching on the chicken leg he painstakingly grilled.
Before long, the group of masochists noticed his presence. "That's the bastard!"
"Catch him! Don't let him escape!" The group of peak purple ranked demonic beasts surrounded him. This a new game of whackamole began.
After five minutes, the fox demon approached him.
"I can help you escape, but you have to do One thing for me." The fox demon Said.
"What?"
"Finish this in his presence!" The fox demon threw the remaining chicken leg at him. All the good parts had been eaten by this group of gluttonous beasts, remaining the skinny bone and a little bit of meat.
Charlie cursed the fox' eighteen generations before grabbing the bony chicken.
"So, how do I escape from here?" Charlie asked.
"Conceal your aura, then dive deep underground, at least 200 meters before escaping from here." The fox demon explained.
Charlie believed him, after confirming from MSM.
"I have a concealment technique here if you don't mind." The fox demon offered.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my words!" Charlie asked curiously.
"I already have the evidence." Blue eyed waved a crystal at him.
"Fine! I have my own Aura concealment technique."
Charlie quickly browsed through the system store and bought an Aura concealment technique for 500 seeker's Points, leaving him with 600 points. And the Points were still increasing rapidly. He learnt the technique on the spot and waited for the chicken to arrive.
While they were talking, they noticed that the flame feathered chicken was approaching them at a frightening speed.
They quickly lay scattered on the floor, acting weak and powerless.
"Your son is a sweet little guy! He was the one that even plucked all his feathers for me, saving me from the hassle of doing it myself." Charlie looked at the flame feathered chicken in the eyes, then took a large bite out of the remaining leg and threw the bone at flame feathers.
"You can have the bone!" Charlie quickly hid his aura and jumped into the earth when he saw the chicken approached with full speed.
