Peter and his teammates immediately prepare to attack. But when they are about to use their hybrid technique the Crocoscale suddenly fainted unable to move.
"Wh... What just happened?" Chloe said in shocked and couldn't believed what she had witnessed.
"Woah... It fell down without letting us to fight him." Arvin said in awe.
Peter approach the Crocoscale he checked every part of this gigantic crocodile and snake hybrid.
"Their body was full of scratch maybe from a sharp claw?" Peter said while still searching its body.
Little did they know the Crocoscale was attacked and managed to scape from the team that Chloe and Arvin saw earlier. And it inflicted them a large amount of damage for the Crocoscale to forcibly retreat.
About a few hours ago~
"Are you sure this is the place, Kevin?"
"Just keep walking, idiot Shawn."
"... " Their leader didn't say anything.
Two of the members of the team that Chloe and Arvin saw was introduced. It seems the one that Arvin saw yesterday is Kevin who singlehandedly defeated the other team with an ease.
They continued walking around when they heard a sound near the swamp.
Hsss~ Croahhh~
"Oho! We finally made it to the Crocoscale habitat." Kevin said in excitement.
Before they can even finished their conversation, the Crocoscale starts to attack them.
"Hey! Hey! It's rushing towards us!" Kevin yelled and immediately prepared for battle.
"Croahhh! Hsss~"
The Crocoscale's snake tail spit venom from its mouth while the body continously attacking them. Galloping them trying to eat them alive without giving them a break to catch their breath.
Shawn jumped up and climbed up the tree. "Ow! This Crocoscale sure is something." He said while grinning.
"Haah... I'm getting tired of this. " Kevin said while preparing his technique.
Shawn and their leader watched him from above. They seems like enjoying the fight with the Crocoscale and Kevin.
While Kevin is preparing for his attack the Crocoscale jumped towards him and slam him to the ground.
"Keughh! I... It hurts yah scaly bastard! Mountain Lion's Hunting Mechanism: Prideful Howl!"
The Crocoscale weakened after his loud howl. He immediately get off to the Crocoscale range and proceed for his next attack.
"Hah! That's what you will get for being cocky. Mountain Lion's Hunting Mechanism: Mountain Pounce!"
He swiftly rushed to where the Crocoscale standing and attacked them directly. He used his razor sharp claws to ripped their body apart but their scale is tough he only inflicted a descent amount of damage allowing the Crocoscale to back off and retreat and go back to the swamp.
Sighhh... Kevin sighed out of disappointment. "Ughh! He got away... Here I am wanting him to be our next prey..." He said while transforming back to his original form and going to where Shawn and their leader watching.
"That's okay, bud!" Shawn tapped his shoulder and comfort him.
"Let's get out of here." Their leader said without saying anything about the failed hunt.
The present to where Peter and his teammates are~
They confirmed that the Crocoscale was unable to move and they took the points from them. They are now have a total of 240 points they still need a lot of points to pass the exam.
"Let's get out of here before anyone can see us." Arvin said in hurry.
Peter look around and everything he saw beyond this place seems familiar even though it's just a little time they stayed there.
"I'm still having a goosebumps evrytime I remember the time we stayed here. He said to himself but he said it out loud.
Chloe looked at him. "Y... You really been here?" She curiously asked Peter.
"Yeah I almost died in here." He replied.
Chloe and Arvin was terrified on what about he said. But they chose to calm down and continue to walk without wasting any time. Until... they saw a marshland and it's full of mud everywhere.
"Ewww!" Chloe disgustingly said.
"There's a high possibility that some hybrid animal is sleeping there." Arvin said while squinting his eyes to see the swamp's area.
They are about to move out when a mole-like creature with a shark's head and a catfish-like whiskers that walks on four legs worth 200 points the Mud Digger showed up.
Its most notable trait is the special moves it exibits when it's disturbed and its rage goes up to a certain level. It paralyzes its prey by burrowing deep down and vibrates the marshland.
Then it randomly rams one person into the air from below. If taking it on solo, you're guaranteed to be hit by it when in the marshmarsh, and you will most certainly be crippled or worst lose your life from the falling damage, earning it the nickname "Marshland King."
"Wha... What is that?!" Arvin yelled in panick.
"Scatter! We need to avoid him as much as possible!" Peter command them without a second thought.
"Wahhhh!" Chloe got really frightened and starts shooting her spikey hair randomly.
"C... Calm down, Chloe! " Peter tried to calm her down while they are going to safe place.
The Mud Digger borrowed the marsh and starts following them. They can see it with it's fin showing up like a shark chasing its prey. It's getting close to Chloe little by little.
"Chloe grab my hand! Chimpanzee's Defense Mechanism: Grappling Arm!" He reached Chloe's hand with his hybrid technique and they climbed up the tree.
Peter saw it and starts to get its attention. "Good job, Arvin. Now, come here you dirty fish! "
He yelled at the Mud Digger and surprisingly he took its attention.
"Roahhh! "
The Mud Digger saw him and starts to swiftly chase him instead.
Peter doesn't want his teammates to get hurt. He starts to run fast but because of the mud in the marshland his mobility drastically reduced. The mud that calm when they arrived are now everywhere. Because of the tenacity of the Mud Digger he relentlessly chase him until he got cornered.
"Peter! Watch out!" Arvin yelled at him out of concern but it seems like he didn't hear anything.
"Roahhh" The Mud Digger is getting closer and closer to him.
When suddenly it burrowed again on the mud.
Peter look around and he can't see nor feel the presence of the Mud Digger. But suddenly the marshland starts to shake, this vibration comes from the technique of the Mud Digger.
He vibrates the mud to make its prey unable to move. His technique was quite similar to a quicksand the more you move the more you will sink and unable to move.
