Chapter 78: Fiend
The rich guy shouted as he snatched the suit and hastily began to put it over his body, the other guy also began to wear it.
" Huh? We aren't getting any? I don't think I can haa haa stay alive for much longer in this place. " Jackie spoke, their bodies were covered by sweat.
" We are only going to be here for a few minutes, I'm sure you would be fine and if you think you can't do this then you can leave. " The 1st burly man spoke, without even looking at them.
" Tsk, if it wasn't for the money I would have already left, I mean the recording. " Jackie spoke, looking angry but all of them were still confused about what kind of place they had come to.
After looking around for a minute, just as the two guys finished putting on their suits, the 1st man spoke:
" We will be moving in that direction, everyone stay close to us. "
" Haah This feel much better, it's like I am inside a swimming pool. " The rich guy spoke, his words only made the eight of the porters angry, Lucian wasn't that much affected by the heat.
' So we are moving in the direction of that pool? Zero, what kind of creatures reside here? ' Lucian asked as they began to walk behind the group.
[ I am not exactly sure but they are good at hiding and use poison, it is difficult for even me to break the laws of every planet to see the future or past. ]
Lucian was surprised that even Zero didn't know much about them so he decided to be on his guard, as he moved towards the centre of the porters with Jackie walking beside him.
The two burly men were walking at the front, after which the two guys in suits and then the porters, as if to provide the maximum security to the guys in the middle.
The soil there was very fragile so they all had to move carefully that they don't fall into any holes, they were avoiding all the large holes which were previously the homes of the creatures that lived there.
Their pace was slow, it took them a while just to arrive near the pond. They all looked at the pond strangely, it was filled with a transparent liquid that quite looked like water but at the same time felt ominous.
" W- Water, sigh it's so hot, the air is burning my body. " One of the nine porter shouted, as he threw away the bags and ran towards the pond, maybe all this heat had affected his brain.
" No wait- " one of the burly man shouted but before they could do anything, that man had already jumped into the pond.
" Should we jump in too- wait!! " Jackie was also about to take his clothes off but just then he saw something horrific.
Before the man even had the time to scream his entire body had dissolved into the liquid, within a moment the surface was covered by red colour of the blood, they saw bones and organs moving inside the liquid before it was dissolved too.
" Holy shit, what the fuck is that? H- He... Did he just die? " Jackie and the other looked at it in shocked, now only eight of them were left, the 1st burly man just clicked his tongue and spoke:
" Don't do anything without asking us, this is not some kind of game, follow our orders if you want to live. "
" Whoa, I should have recorded that. Damn that looked so great. " The rich guy laughed, as he looked at the pond carefully, the blood had completely disappeared and the liquid was again as clear as before.
" That asshole, should I throw him in too? "
One of the porter with slightly larger build shouted in anger but he was immediately stopped by one of the burly men, and because of the large difference in strength the porter just backed away.
" Control your emotions or you might end up just like him. " This threat silenced all the porters.
" Those creatures should be staying around this pond, but why isn't there even a single one in sight? " The 2nd burly man questioned, as they looked all around.
" It's strange there should have been a lot of them here, let's find just one and we will go back immediately after killing it. " The second burly man spoke, they looked vigilant.
' Don't tell me my bad luck is still not leaving my side? This should have been a simple thing, why does this feel so dangerous all of a sudden? ' Lucian thought, as he observed the surrounding with even more focus.
[ Yes something is definitely wrong here, this place should've been filled with a lot of beings of this planet but- ]
" Aghhhhhhhhh " just then they all heard a loud scream, all of them turned to look at the source of the sound.
It was one of the porter who was standing at the back of the group, a red creature with height around 1 metre and human like build was standing behind the porter.
A long tail was connected with the body of the red fiend, which had a pointed end and it had torn through the chest of the man and had come out from the front.
" Aaa... Aaaaaaaaaaaaah " They all screamed and moved away from that porter as fast as they could, while the burly man charged towards the creature.
Lucian looked at the creatures carefully while moving back, the red skin over its entire body looked shiny and it was completely naked though it had no genitals like the humans, it was looking around in rage.
This creature seemed to possess a certain level of intelligence so his hate towards the humans was evident from how it was growling towards them.
After all so many of its kind were killed in the past and now they come at any time to kill more of them.
Its tail looked poisonous and probably so were its claws, before the burly man could arrive near the fiend, it moved away from the porter at a high speed and jumped into the pond.
" W- What was that? And why did it commit suicide? " The rich guy shouted in fright, the porters were having it the worst since they were scared and confused and two of them had already died.
' So this liquid doesn't affect these creatures. ' Lucian thought as he stared at the liquid, that red creature's body didn't dissolve in the liquid.
" Tch Those slippery bastards, check if he is alive. " The 1st burly man ordered as he stood close to the two guys.
" He is already dead, no use giving him the antidote. " The 2nd burly man shook his head, and walked back to the group as he questioned:
" Should we return and come back with someone higher? "
" Yes, let's do that. Keeping them safe is our priority, it wouldn't be good if any of them is injured. "
The 1st man nodded his head after thinking for a while, even though those red creatures won't be able to kill them, but since they could pop up from anywhere so it could put the two guys in danger.
