The screams contained hatred, anger, and humiliation as they were tricked by their leader, who was the Hunter in disguise.
That was very humiliating.
Fear was not something they were going to feel because they already understood that they were going to die, the mysterious creature devoured two high-level Hunters as if it were a snack, so it was normal for them to die.
So the others just cursed Liu Yang before they were the next to be devoured.
If communication equipment could be used, the situation would be much easier because everyone would know who the imposter was by just asking a question to headquarters, but it was impossible.
The island where everyone was had some electromagnetic interference which made it impossible to use any kind of electronic equipment.
Only those inside the island could communicate with each other, but not with those outside the island.
…
After killing the group and absorbing their energies, Liu Yang fled at great speed because he did not want to fight the Black Steel Chameleon, nor did the creature run after him to devour, but to follow.
The Black Steel Chameleon saw that Liu Yang was luring people to remote locations, so it decided to silently follow behind like a shadow.
A creature with a lot of power had a little more intelligence than instinct, so it could tell some things about what was going on, but the Black Steel Chameleon would never know that Liu Yang would have to defeat him to complete the quest.
…
Up in a large tree and wearing night-vision goggles, Liu Yang looked to various sides of the island in an attempt to see if any dead bodies were lying on the ground.
But there were none left after Liu Yang started killing while in disguise, the truce between all sides made them just walk through the forest in search of Yamada Kimi and him.
"..." Liu Yang looked around with a thoughtful expression, but not for long.
splash… splash…
The sound of puddles of water being stepped on as heavy rainfalls to the ground is heard in a nearby location.
Looking down, four groups wearing night-vision goggles are seen approaching him from all sides, but half were aiming their energy weapons.
"It was hard to find your tracks, but you're done." One of them spoke with great hatred.
"You are surrounded. Just die." Another spoke in the same tone.
It was obvious that Liu Yang had caused a lot of trouble for all of them.
"Who are you?" Liu Yang acted as if nothing was happening.
"Do you still dare say that after the things you've done?"
"I did nothing. You're the ones who did something."
"Don't waste time with this idiot, just shoot to kill. We don't have time to talk. That woman might want to run away from here"
"FI…!!!!!!!!" Before they could finish giving the order, something extraordinary happened.
splash!!!!!! splash!!!!!! splash!!!!!!
crack!!! crack!!!!! crack!!!!
A long, dark, pointed tail penetrated the bodies of several armed soldiers before being pulled into a large mouth with several rows of teeth.
"WATCH OUT!!!!!!" The others act quickly without being affected by the hidden attack.
shoot!!!! shoot!!!! shoot!!!!
booooom!!!! booooom!!!
The shots explode in the creature's body, revealing its appearance.
The Black Steel Chameleon was the size of a car, but the scales covering its body were black and hard as steel. The four claws had long, knife-edged nails. The long tail looked like a retractable spear in a spiral shape. The head was similar to that of an ordinary chameleon, but the difference was the four sharp horns that protrude from the eye area.
The energy shots couldn't even damage the creature's tough steel scales. It was as if the shots were just confetti.
"UNKNOWN CREATURE!!!!!!"
"IT'S A TRAP!!!!!!"
…
The leaders easily realized what was happening.
Quickly, the tanks charge at great speed as their bodies glow for armor and swords to appear.
CLANG!!!!! CLANG!!! CLANG!!!!
The group was surrounding the Black Steel Chameleon, so they think they have the upper hand and that the hidden attack from earlier caught everyone off guard.
The power of magic weapons was also not that powerful because they can only use that kind of weapon in emergencies like a large-scale invasion.
Thus, the weapons only serve to attack creatures of similar levels to the users, which was more than 100, but less than 200.
But the reality was totally different.
Powerful skills and spells bombard the Black Steel Chameleon's hard scales, but only cracks are seen, no heavy wounds have been inflicted.
Which scared everyone and they realized how powerful the mysterious creature was.
In their minds, a creature that lurked to make hidden attacks should be weak because it wouldn't have the courage to fight face to face, but that thought was completely wrong when it came to the Black Steel Chameleon.
The creature liked to lurk to follow the prey and see if they would lead it somewhere with more prey.
This is why the Black Steel Chameleon is always hidden.
