Bab 73: Fireworks (Part 1)

Several kilometers from the territory, a bloody scuffle was ongoing and reaching its peak. 

"Don't go there, damnit!" A pudgy and dirty man yelled at his companion, who in his panic ended up running to the mouth of a monster instead of running away from it.

The man blinked and turned his head, and it was the last time he'd be able to do so.

Splack! 

It was night and only the two moons partially covered by the dense foliage and a dimming flashlight were their only sources of illumination. 

They couldn't see what happened, but the gruesome sound of biting and chewing made everyone shake in fear. 

Baron and the others were pale, but didn't have the time to mourn the loss of yet another companion. 

"Distract it!" He ordered his cousin, a buff woman named Bianca, as he looked at the monster they have been handling together.
