Chapter 425 Code Violet! 2

Landon, Lucius and a few others from the meeting were currently running as fast as they could into the forest.
The forest was an assault on all their senses.
The sounds of insects, birds and other larger animals, immediately created a symphony of nature.
The forest floors would get wet, hard or mushy in different regions.... as well as the brightness of the forest, which would seem down or go bright at different regions as well.
And the heat and humidity soon pressed in on their skin, making them sweat like crazy.
As they ran, the leaves continuously crushed up against their bodies.
And even though they still didn't have a clue on what they were after, they still hurriedly chased behind the pack of wild animals with all their might.
All they could hear.... were the trees making 'swish!' Sounds, and the animals giving out loud 'Hissss!' Sounds..... as if they were communicating with each other.
At first, Landon thought that maybe what they were chasing..... were a pack of massive snakes.
But according to his knowledge of this world, there were no such things as snakes at all here.
And to add to this point, even if snakes did exist in this world...this part of the world was too cold for snakes to be in naturally.
So what other animals could make that sound?
.
'Hissssssssssss!!!'
'Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din!
'Splash!'
They ran like crazy while stepping over rocks, puddles of water which connected to small streams and so on.
"Stay alert!
It seems like these animals are trying to draw us into the inner parts of the forest.
More specifically, they want to take us to their nests!
So keep your eyes sharp!" Landon said while loading up all the guns that he had on him.
Of course, those who followed him from behind also did the same as well.
After running for a while now, the sounds from these animals were finally getting louder and louder.
Dammit!
They must be near their lair!
.
'System... I want to buy explosives now!'
'Host... don't mind this system asking...... but isn't that wasteful?
Doesn't the host already have enough ammunition back in Baymard?" The system said, in a calm unfazed toned.
As for Landon, he was almost about to loose it.
The system was probably watching him from above as if his life was a movie.... while probably chewing heavenly popcorn too.
Damn you!
Damn you!
Damn you!!!
Just what was the point of saying that he had ammunition in Baymard?
Did it look like he could go back to Baymard anytime soon?
'System.... just do it!
No matter the cost!'
"As you wish my wasteful host.'
'_'
Landon truly felt like crying.
Why him?
Immediately, he requested for enough ammunition for the entire group.
'System.... place the items on chest strap-ons underneath my shirt.'
'As you wish host!'
Landon soon unbuttoned his shirt, and those behind him were puzzled by his behaviour.
But they quickly looked at Landon in awe.
"Here, before coming for the meeting... I had carried these items around, just in case we came for inspection and ended up in a sticky situation like this one." Landon said while giving everyone 1 strap-up belt from his chest.
Of course, each belt contained a maximum of 3 explosives in them.
And since the soldiers already had their guns and tasers with them, Landon felt like this number would be enough to do the trick!
Everyone couldn't help but nod in appreciation, as their king was always one step ahead of any crisis or situation.
He seemed to be prepared, even if the world was coming to an end.
With a mind like this, no wonder he was king.
.
Everyone was now ready for action... as they heard the 'hiss' sounds get stronger and louder.
'Hissssssssssssss!!!!!!'
They jumped over a log, and immediately found themselves in an open plain..... and just ahead of them, was a cave.
But before they could even make their way into the cave, they found themselves surrounded.
Landon's eyes flashed with shock, as he looked at the animals before him.
They were Mucins!
Everyone looked at the creatures before them in great vigilance, while they prepared themselves for battle.
.
Mucins!
They looked exactly like snakes, except that they had 4 legs like a reptile and could only grow up to 7 feet tall.
And no joke.... they actually looked like large Anacondas on legs.
Of course, since they had legs..... most of their length came from their powerful tail, which could grab their prey, curl it up and run away with their prey.
Fortunately, their tails weren't as strong as the bodies of Anacondas back In earth.... or else even if Landon found those victims, their bones might've already been crushed and broken already.
One important thing, was that they weren't poisonous at all..... but they did have a defence mechanism, which was to release some sort of liquid that would just numb their prey for a few hours, that was it.
And they had long snake-like tongues.... and their eyes also blinked and looked like those of a snake as well.
No wonder they made those 'hiss' sounds.
In addition to that, these creatures hated excessive heat....as they thrived more in winter instead.
Also, unlike snakes that could climb up trees or high places..... these ones could not, as one could imagine their 4 legs being as short as those of crocodiles.
And of course for the colour of these creatures..... Yup!... It was pink!
What was up with the God or Goddess of this world and pink?
In Landon's opinion, the goddess of this world was a little kid.
.
Right now, over 30 Mucins surrounded them from all directions, and Landon and his team were just 7 in number.
The Mucins slowly inched towards them, while looking at them with their cold yellowish reptilian eyes.
Their fork-like tongues slithered out of their mouths.... as they steadily raised their long necks until their heads were all levelled up with their prey.
Without waiting for the snakes to make their moves, Landon immediately yelled out for his men to take down the enemies.
Of course, while these reptiles were making their move and talking in 'hisss' language to one another... Landon had also done the same as well, as he had been instructing the rest on what creatures they should focus on.
Be it left, right or center... Landon had quickly split up the killings amongst everyone, with him having the highest number to kill of course.
.
'Hisssssss!'
Slowly, but very confidently..... the Mucins moved in while swaying their heads slightly, as they slithered their tongues towards their prey.
Landon watched their every move, until they were close enough for their plan of attack.
"Now!"
'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!'
