Episode 109 Wasp catching bees (2)
Quaaaaaaa!
There was a loud noise.
A series of heavy drinking that seemed to tear up all the surrounding air.
‘Is this really a helicopter thing?’
Rachiel swallowed dry saliva without realizing it. I lowered myself deeper into the grass. And then I just lifted my gaze and looked up at the sky.
There were monsters there that made helicopter sounds. It was a wasp the size of a rhino.
‘…crazy.’
If the sound of a swarm of Apiros flying around earlier was that of a motorcycle, the newly appeared giant wasp really sounded like an attack helicopter. As expected, it was coming down violently in all directions.
KIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Kwajak! Sigh!
It hit like a meteor.
It attacked Apiros.
Apiros resisted and fought back.
But Apiros’ struggle was pitifully ineffective. It was simply caught in the wasp’s huge jaws. The neck was cut with a cracking sound. My back was broken.
Kieeeeak!
There were dozens of such wasps.
With each stroke of his jaw, he crushed and cut into pieces one Apyros. A swarm of Apiros rushed in countless times. But it was no use. It was like a tiger charging into a flock of chicks.
So, that’s not hunting.
It’s a massacre.
gulp.
Rachiel swallowed nervously.
‘Where did these guys come from?’
I got goosebumps while watching it. It was such a one-sided massacre. What if this side had started the operation a little earlier? So what if a swarm of wasps attacked the nest while it was moving?
‘We must have been attacked too.’
Maybe I was lucky. While I was thinking that, the soldier lying down next to me trembled and said,
“Surgeon Gu Gu? “What do we do now?”
“What should I do? “You have to hide first.”
“Ha ha but but but.”
“…Do you know anything? If there is, an explanation. “Keep calm.”
“That… that wasp-like monster. “That’s Vesparos.”
“Vesparus?”
“Yes, surgeon. These guys are the ones who use Apiros as their stock. They are the ones who can easily kill a hundred Apiros by themselves. But the problem is that after they finish hunting and slaughtering, they meticulously clean up the surrounding area.”
“organize?”
“yes. I heard that they are sorting out the corpses of Apiros lying around and gathering them in one place. In the process, they find and kill Apiros who is still alive or hiding.”
“Wait a minute, that means…”
“Once the hunting and slaughter is over, they will search this entire area and leave not a single rat alive. Including us, of course.”
“….”
Rakiel closed his mouth at the soldier’s words. It didn’t seem like a bluff or a rumor. Then there is only one conclusion.
‘What I’m saying is that you need to run away as quickly as possible right away.’
Cold sweat poured out.
On the other hand, I felt like crying would come out.
‘okay. For now, I understand everything. I guess I should run away. What about my queen caterpillar?’
I tried to kidnap the queen caterpillar. I wanted to get a lot of antibiotics and treat the wounded soldiers. That way, you can use your bonus life wisely.
The plan was being shattered from the ground up. With the Apiros nest being ravaged in real time.
‘Oh really.’
Rakiel cast a look full of regret. Even at this moment, the Apiros herd was dying in countless numbers. It was like seeing a bee nest attacked by hornets. If so, the end of this mess will be obvious.
‘That nest is ruined.’
Everyone will die.
Queen larvae and all, no one will survive. Then this plan will also be ruined.
‘Rescuing queen larvae is a big deal here. It’s Nagari. But what if you go to another forest and search again from the beginning? What about exploring other Apyros nests? It’s impossible. ‘No, that’s not possible.’
There was too little time for that. We had already spent over a day searching the forest here. But what if we spend more time here?
The wounded soldiers in the camp will not be able to hold out. They will suffer from various infections and begin to die. So this plan clearly failed. A feeling of indignation suddenly welled up.
‘ha. I’d rather be possessed as a wasp man in episode 57 of I’m a Natural Person. I want to run bravely like that guy and swat away all the wasps and everything else…’
But the reality was that I couldn’t do that.
I wondered why something like this would happen at such a moment and timing. It suddenly occurred to me that it was too put together. I also had paranoia that perhaps this world was deliberately trying to manipulate me and kill me.
If this was something that happened in a novel, I even had the urge to at least apply for a favor to the author who writes such a story.
But there was nothing else to do. I wiped away my tears. I tried to signal to everyone to run away before it was too late.
But that was then.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
I heard a helicopter right above my head. It was close. It was too close. I reflexively looked up. And then my whole body suddenly stiffened.
“…!”
5 meters above your head.
A Vesparus was looking down from just above the second floor window. I could feel it at that moment. I made eye contact with that guy.
Kiaaaaaaa!
Vesparus roared. It came plummeting towards us!
“Huh?”
It was so fast.
In an instant, the huge upper jaw, like a pincer, was rushing towards me. I rolled my body reflexively. Immediately after that, the ground that had been lying down was forcibly subjected to terrain modification(?).
Puke!
Vesparus’ upper jaw pierced the ground. It whipped its huge head around. The ground was torn to pieces. In the meantime, did a large rock in the ground bite into the upper jaw?
He tightened his chin.
Quack!
A rock the size of a gym ball was crushed in an instant. What if you just couldn’t dodge in time?
‘The waist must have been cut.’
I got goosebumps.
“Run away!”
He stood up and shouted. As if the shout was a signal, the entire group began to run away. We tried to run away together. But it wasn’t easy.
Whoa!
“…!”
The sound of air being torn from behind. I jumped as soon as I heard it. It rolled.
Cheokkeong-!
The huge upper jaws cut through the air and met in midair. That bloody sound came from right above my head. But there was no time for relief.
An object that looked like a large iron pipe or a lamppost flew from the side. I was hit all over my body.
Wow!
“…Oof!”
For an instant, the world shook. My whole body floated in the air. I lost consciousness.
‘forelegs?’
Perhaps I was hit by Vesparus’ front leg. I need to wake up quickly. That way you can run away.
While I was thinking, the moment of fall arrived.
Kwadangtang!
“…Kwaek!”
It didn’t hurt. No, I didn’t even know it hurt. I just felt dizzy. I felt like my stomach was turning. In the meantime, I was struggling and trying to get up.
However, Vesparos’ offensive response was faster.
Kiaaaaaaa!
“…!”
The moment you stand up and look up. I was able to find Vesparos lurking just above me. It opened its huge upper jaw. I pushed it down.
Come this way. With the force of splitting the whole body vertically. But it was too late to avoid it.
‘It’s the end…’
A chilling premonition. Inside, my eyes widened. At the same time, a strong shock kicked me in the side.
“Avoid!”
Wow!
“…a lot of money!”
Have you ever felt the feeling of your body folding into itself and flying? I am. when? At Han River Park. While taking a walk. Riding on the bike of a rider dressed in jjoljjol.
I felt the same sensation now as I did back then. Of course, the cause this time was not the bicycle. It was Damian. I saw him stretching his legs. It was a clear and certain side kick stance.
‘…It was like this in Cremo again?’
You probably saved me from danger by hitting me with a side kick back then, right?
Craddangtang!
“A huge amount of money!”
How many times did I fall and roll around today? But there was no time to complain. Meanwhile, Damian was blocking Vesparus’ upper jaw.
Kakakakakakang-!
Damian’s fierce, flashing sword attack! Vesparos opened his upper jaw and fought back. Every time Damian’s sword flashed violently, a large scratch was carved into Vesparos’ upper jaw. Sometimes the wings were cut off.
When Damian’s stormy attack finally came to an end.
…Keeeeeeek!
There remained Vesparus, struggling pitifully, having lost both upper jaw and wings.
“Now! Run!”
Damian came running this way. I ran side by side with him. Behind him, Vesparus, who had lost his upper jaw, glowed and chased after him. It looked like an angry rhino. What if I get crushed by that big rush? I didn’t want to imagine it.
I ran busier.
But things didn’t go as planned.
Kwaaaaaa!
A new roar, or rather the sound of wings flapping, was heard. I looked up reflexively. I had to witness a reality I didn’t want to believe.
‘Oh really.’
This time, more than twenty Vesparos were glaring at us from above, making vicious circling flights. Moreover, this wasn’t the only one in a dark situation.
“Ugh! go away! help me!”
“Come this way! “Get back!”
“shield! Stop it!”
The pathfinder soldier screamed in fear. The Amboise knights were struggling hard. When I saw that, I felt hopeless confidence.
‘If it continues like this… we’ll all die.’
At the same time, realization came to me. It seemed like I finally understood why the group of Vesparos sensed the group.
‘Wildflower powder smeared all over my body in preparation for the operation. And it’s because of the flower petal and stem sap that is rubbed all over the body.’
Because of them. This is because of the right preparations to appease Apiros’ hostility. Because of them, Vesparus recognized this place as Apiros. In other words, he has become the same prey as Apyrus.
‘Then what should I do?’
There will be no answer if you just run away. Since they have already been branded as prey, a swarm of Vesparos will chase the party to the end. You won’t be able to shake it off by any means.
‘Then fight back?’
That also made no sense.
Will Damian be able to stop six or seven of them if he uses all his strength? Even if the rest of the knights were added, it would only be possible to handle about ten of them. However, the herd of Vesparos numbered at least dozens.
‘What should I do?’
My fingertips and lips became cold.
A cold sweat broke out.
Twenty Vesparos overhead, about to rush in. One animal runs wild from behind. I thought desperately as I ran to avoid them. I shook my head. I came up with a plan. I repeatedly thought about risking my life. I struggled not to die.
And finally.
A flash of light appeared in my mind.
‘…That’s it!’
A memory that comes to mind. The representative of a business partner who supplied medicinal materials to an oriental medicine clinic. We were so close that we even had drinks together a few times. He said his hobby was beekeeping.
But did you say that you suffered from wasp damage every day? Then one day, he boasted that he had developed a simple but amazing trap.
‘That might work.’
It has to go through.
That’s how you live.
“backpack!”
Rakiel hastily rummaged through his backpack. The item I was looking for was found. I took it out. It was a canteen. However, there was no water in the canteen. It contained alcohol. It was strong alcohol brought to be used for temporary disinfection.
I opened the canteen lid.
“If you were a wasp too! You will like alcohol! “No, please like it!”
I threw away the canteen with all my hopes. The canteen flew through the air. Hit by a tree stump.
It fell to the floor and alcohol flowed out. The smell spread. It was that moment.
…Kiyaak?
The swarm of Vesparos that were rushing towards the group all stopped moving and raised their antennae.
