Chereads / The Next King! / Chapter 45 - Jungle - B

Chapter 45 - Jungle - B

Half an hour passed by and the three of them were still running around the dense jungle. Adam suddenly raised his right hand and slowed down "Wait there's something ahead of us, look."

Adam pointed towards a large hole that was between two large trees that were a couple of meters in front of him. Adam slowly walked towards it with Bunny and Bull right behind him.

The three of them arrived right in front of the hole and Adam slowly peeked inside the hole "Oh no that looks very bad."

Inside of the deep hole, Adam saw a large pile of colorful snakes that have a man who has an eagle make in the middle of it who has all of his skin turned purple with snakes covering most of his body.

"Those are poisonous snakes and there's a lot of them in there. That poor guy that must be a very painful death." Bunny looked inside the hole with Bull on her left side.

"Yeah and this is a trap which means we're very close to a ruin so we should be very very careful now." Adam stared towards the eagle masked man that was inside the hole as he got bit a couple more times by the colorful snakes.

Bunny looked towards the pile of snake and puts her head inside the hole "I would like to get some sample from those snakes maybe I could make new poison darts that would be-"

"WATCH OUT!" Bull shouted as he quickly grabbed Adam and Bunny by the neck as he jumped backward. Bull landed a couple of meters away from the hole and let's go of Adam's and Bunny's neck as both of them landed on the ground.

Adam shook his head and looks ahead where the hole was. Right in front of the hole stands a humongous tiger that was roughly the size of a black bear that has large fangs coming out from its wide mouth and large yellowish sharp bone-like spikes that came out from its skin on its back, sides, and forehead.

"One of the wildlife has visited us and it's a very big one." Bunny reached to the right side of her bag and grabbed her blowgun while Adam reached to his back and grabbed his daggers.

Bull quickly put both of his hands right in front of Bunny and Adam while looking towards both of them "I got this guy, you two can relax I'll kill this tiger on my own I got this."

"Okay, Goodluck Bull," Adam said while looking towards Bull who smiled towards him.

"Careful Bull that tiger is poisonous just look at its fangs, I don't know what kind of poison that it has so don't get bitten by it." Bunny pointed towards the tiger's fangs that have purple liquid slowly dripping down from the tip of it.

"Thank you, Bunny." Bull walked forwards and swung his back to his left side grabbing his shield with his left hand. He grabbed the sword handle that was sticking out from the middle of his shield while staring towards the tiger that started growling towards him.

GRAAAAAAA! The tiger released a loud roar as it launched itself forward toward Bull who quickly swung his shield right in front of him. The tiger leaped toward Bull showing its long and sharp black claws. BAAAANG! Bull blocked the tiger's claws with his shield and quickly pushed his shield forwards throwing the tiger up into the air.

Bull swung his sword sideways from his right side to his left side and slashed the tiger's belly with his sword while it was floating right in front of him. BAAM! The tiger's body dropped down to the ground right in front of Bull with blood spewing out from the large cut on its belly.

Bull swung his sword towards the ground throwing the tiger's blood to the ground and slides his sword back to the middle of his shield. He turned around towards Adam and Bunny who gave him a thumbs up while he swung his shield to his back "See I got it, it's easy."

"Yeah, good job Bull! Now let's go and look for the ruin." Adam said as Bunny walked towards Bull and kneeled right beside the tiger's corpse while staring towards it.

"Okay let's go, come on Bunny." Bull looked towards Bunny who slowly puts down her bag beside her and opened it.

"What are you doing Bunny? Come on we have to go now." Bull asked while looking towards Bunny who quickly turned her head towards him while Adam walked towards both of them.

"Wait a minute I need to get the poison that this tiger has, I maybe could use it for my darts," Bunny explained as she took out a couple of large folder plastic bags, a pair of blue latex gloves, and a small knife.

"That's very smart of you Bunny we will wait," Adam said as he stopped right beside Bull and looked towards Bunny who slowly carved out the inside of the tiger's mouth.

She grabbed one of the tiger's teeth and yanked it out as hard as she can. She puts the tiger's tooth inside the plastic bag and went back inside the tiger's mouth. She scooped around the roof of the tiger's mouth and took out a large purple blob of flesh that she puts inside the plastic bag.

"What is that?" Bull asked while pointing towards the purple blob of flesh as Bunny puts it inside the plastic bag.

"It's the sack of poison this is the most important thing that I need and I have to get the other one give me two more minutes." Bunny smiled as she moved around the tiger's head.

Five minutes passed by and Bunny suddenly stands up to her feet while taking off her gloves that were covered in blood. She grabbed her large plastic bags that are now filled with tooths and blobs of purple flesh and puts them inside her bag "Okay I'm done, I didn't think it has more than two poison sacks."

"Okay let's go." Adam nodded as he ran towards his right side with Bull and Bunny right behind him. After a couple of hours of running around the jungle, Adam noticed a large chunk of stone that peeked out from the back of a tree.

"That could be something, let's go in there and remember to be very careful of traps," Adam said as he leaned to his right side while Bull and Bunny nodded as the two of them followed him.

Adam jumped over a large log and instantly stopped as he saw a small stone building which was covered in vines and have some parts of it missing "Yes! We finally found one!"

"Yeah let's get inside there and find the artifact it's getting dark." Bull said as he stopped right beside Adam.

"Okay let's get inside and don't forget about the traps." Adam looked towards Bull and Bunny who quickly nodded. The three of them took a deep breath and entered the ruin.
