I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 138: Food situation (2)

The lobster that was stuck on the enemy's jaws was still putting up a fight, his multiple legs were working over time to pinch and lightly stab the barracuda's chin and throat. But it wasn't enough to even escape the bite, not to mention kill the meter long barracuda!

Unwilling to wait and see what happened, especially since the bar of this battle has already been set high - both literally and figuratively. Timothy lunged towards battle and clapped his jaws mid way as the spot where he would bite, had become clear.

Such an enemy was truly fearsome but at the moment, its belly was exposed. So the little hero instantly used this opportunity to reach and land a bite against the belly, his speed being upgraded earlier had helped to reach that point within a flash!

The hero took a chunk off the barracuda's belly, which didn't stretch wide considering his small size. But the cut was deep enough to make the barracuda flinch and drop the struggling lobster that was struggling on its jaws.

Unwilling to know what a bite from this bastard would be like, even now with tripled durability compared to the beginning - he sunk right down to the sand and completely avoided the enemy while at the same time carrying a chunk of flesh in his mouth.

Seeing that the group of 50 men was still somewhat scared, he yelled. "Don't let this bastard get a hold of you! Do everything to avoid it and only bite when you find a good chance!"

Most of them didn't understand the boy but the translators were quick to spread the message, that's when the team began randomly running around. It seemed reckless at best but the barracuda was surely struck confused. It didn't even realise that Timothy had landed the vicious bite.

As for the lobster whom had been stuck on the enemy's jaws, he barely had any strength to move. Death might be close for this one so he just crawled in the same hole of where the enemy had come out of. The prime intent was to avoid getting bitten again, at least death should be a bit more peaceful.

The enemy seemed to have completely forgotten about the victim and instead charged towards the closest lobster that was running close by. These crawlers were fast but beating a great barracuda's speed wasn't something that just any species could achieve.

So the lobster could only run so far before it felt the bite of the enemy on his tail, the shock of it managed to cause a shriek along with a desperate lunge forward.

The barracuda began violently shaking its head left and right, while the results of such a move were drastic enough to ensure death. Simply because those big sharp had caused several deep and long cuts!

The enemy then let go of the carcass and began targeting another lobster, it was clear that this freak hadn't woken up from his nap with the crave of food but the urge of slaughter instead.

That's when it felt a sharp pain right on the very lower back, close to its tail. The pain was strong enough to send chills through the enemy's entire spine. The tough bone made it tad hard to crunch through it but level 3 jaws only struggle with a handful of animal bones in this area.

Timmy had successfully bitten through flesh, nerve and bone, right at a spot where it could be considered as a great barracuda's weakness. It began shaking a portion of its body but the tail was almost impossible to move, which had rendered the enemy completely immobile, a cripple.

The only danger it posed now, was being alive. If one got too close, those jaws would land a deadly bite. But as far as everyone here was concerned, it can't charge towards anything.

Back pain that this enemy experienced, made it impossible to twist around and behind for too far, so this was a great opportunity to land more bites.

At the same spot, the little hero bit through several times and finally managed to brute his way through the entire tail. It fell down on the sand while the barracuda's long body was shaking left and right in panic. From all the deaths that were popular in the ocean, this was the least expected.

But although the pain was massive, a few more bites around the neck along with venomous stings were necessary to permanently end the enemy's life.

[Great barracuda killed. 40 system points have been given to you as a reward]

[Total system points = 88]

And so, as the crowd around them gave a slight cheer to celebrate the fate of this not-so-great barracuda, one of the lobsters who could speak his language had approached.

For the sole purpose of praising a bit more, "The kill you landed was amazing! I didn't know you could fight like that."

Seeing that he was going too far, the same one humbled himself before adding. "Your highness... surely is skilled."

This type of reaction made the young man happy, it was even better how they even excused the death of their friends at the moment. A couple of lobsters had died while on his lead, this should be enough to piss them off. Yet it didn't, these lobsters were far different from the shrimp.

"Thank you." Tim answered and his focus returned to the mission.

He pointed towards another brown lobster who likely couldn't translate anything, therefore being labelled as a bit less important. Towards that man he let out a demand, "Go in that hole, it should be safer now."

Although hesitant, the last thing this big lobster wanted to be called was a coward. So he slowly crawled towards the hole, went in and after a while slowly went out.

A few sentences were exchanged in their language, before the translator pointed out. "He said that there is a long tunnel down there."

This was a good sign because the longer a tunnel was, the more chances there stood for life to be down there. So he commanded, "Then we have a lot to explore, we're all going in."

He wanted to get this little mission over with as soon as possible, squids had to be found and this area doesn't seem to contain them.
