"Hey! Jimmy, wait for me, what's the hurry. ”

Rick Jones, a burly man with a beard and an army-green waistcoat, pulled out a leather-covered notepad from his backpack and shouted to his companion who was already eager to enter the tomb with a torch, "Let me take notes before I go in." ”

"Fool, only the first explorer to enter the tomb is worthy of being remembered, and you must not tamper with that fact in your expedition log."

Rick's companion Jimmy, who was thin and wearing a canvas coat, pointed his finger at himself and said, "The first explorer to enter the dwarf king's crypt was my Jimmy Fawkes!" ”

"Aha...... No problem, I'm only interested in the treasures in the tombs. ”

After placing his backpack casually on the edge of the tomb, Rick Jones waved his hairy arm and gave in generously.

By the time Rick Jones finished recording and entered the tomb with a torch in hand, his companion Jimmy had already entered the grave deeper in the tomb.

"Huh? Why do the oil on these statues look like they have just been added? ”

Rick was curious about the green fire dancing in the stone statue's eye sockets, and deliberately stepped forward to study it, and saw something strange in it.

"Could it be that anyone else found this place before we arrived?"

A sense of unease immediately filled Rick Jones's mind like a mist.

But it was at this time that a sharp scream suddenly came from the depths of the tomb.

Yes!!!

"That's Jimmy's scream, hey! Old man, how are you? ”

The scream confirmed the uneasiness in Rick Jones's heart.

His thick brows furrowed, and he quickly turned around and ran in the direction where the voice came.

"Jimmy? Are you okay? ”

He quickly ran to the edge of the pit and noticed that Jimmy's torch had been dropped on the ground, and Jimmy was lying on the ground motionless, as if unconscious.

In the darkness beyond the reach of the torches, some creature was reaching out with its long tentacles and grabbing one of Jimmy's legs, dragging him into the darkness.

"Damn it, let him go!"

Rick Jones hurriedly removed the double-barreled shotgun on his back, jumped down the steps with the gun, and rushed up in that direction.

But the tentacle didn't move, but instead sped up dragging Jimmy, and it seemed that Jimmy was about to be dragged into darkness completely.

Rick quickly raised his shotgun, got down on one knee, and shot at the part of the tentacle hiding in the darkness.

There was a loud bang, and the sound of gunfire echoed through the empty crater.

The bullet hit its target, and the monster let out an ear-piercing scream of pain, and its long tentacles electrocuted Jimmy's ankle and retracted into the darkness.

"Oh no."

Rick Jones hurriedly pounced on his motionless companion on the ground.

But when he flipped Jimmy's body over, he was startled by two shocking and bloody holes in Jimmy's eyes.

This was a bloody hole left behind by a sharp and hard object that forcibly poked into both eyes, not only shattering both eyeballs, but also crushing the bones around the eye sockets.

The hard object squeezed into Jimmy's skull, crushing the brains inside.

No one can survive such an injury......

"No!"

Rick cried out in grief when he saw the tragic death of his companion.

……

After being hit by a shotgun, the monster didn't leave there,

It has been hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity, and has intentions against Rick Jones.

It squirmed and walked with tentacles, making a rustling sound in the darkness.

"Brute, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! ”

Rick Jones roared wildly, his eyes bloodshot, and raised his gun to shoot in the direction from which the sound came.

Bang!

The shot missed the target.

"Bastard!"

The double-barreled shotgun fired empty bullets, and Rick Jones cursed as he reached into his pocket to get the ammunition.

But the monster hiding in the dark was clever enough to grasp the gap, and before Rick could fill his shotgun with ammo, it shot out long tentacles from a distance and slammed them at Rick.

Rick Jones had no choice but to dodge first.

Next, the monster's tentacles continued to slash at Rick Jones, forcing his opponent to dodge and unable to reload the shotgun.

The explorer had no choice but to abandon his partner's corpse first, and fled from the tomb in embarrassment under the attack of the monster.

……

The monster gave up after Rick escaped from the tomb, and seemed to be in a hurry to return to the tomb to eat Jimmy's body.

Rick Jones fled all the way to the edge of the waterhole at the bottom of the cliff before stopping, gasping for breath for a moment, and then choked up.

"If I had gone in earlier, Jimmy wouldn't have been killed."

The burly man felt remorseful for the violent death of his companion, and slammed his fist into the mud of the riverbank.

After resting for a while, he regained his strength, began to reload the shotgun in his hand, and put the excess in the pocket on his vest for easy access.

"I'll avenge you!"

But when he returned to the dwarf king's tomb full of vengeful rage, the corpse of his companion Jimmy had been stripped of its skin, and it was discarded indiscriminately in the form of a bloody corpse.

The murderer disappeared without a trace......

Rick went crazy and searched for the murderous monster in the corpse pit, but he didn't even find a shadow of the monster.

During the search, he noticed the white sarcophagus in the center of the pit.

He tried to open the sarcophagus, but the lid seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds, and even if he shot the sarcophagus with a shotgun, he couldn't leave a single bullet hole in its surface.

Rick Jones eventually gave up and brought Jimmy's bloody corpse back to the wooden house they had built on top of the cliff.

The next day, Rick takes his hounds and heads out again to search for the monster in and around the tomb, which he suspects has taken refuge in the woods.

But after a round of searching, there is still no result.

When it got dark, he had to return to the cliff hut in disappointment.

He had dug a hole not far from the hut, and was about to come back to drag his companion's body over for burial when his hound seemed to sense it and barked in the direction of the hut.

Rick was alert, but after entering the house and checking it out, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

Hit by the death of his companion and the continuous search for monsters for the past two days, Rick felt physically and mentally exhausted and depressed, and just wanted to have a good rest, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep in bed.

But not long after he had fallen asleep, he was woken up by a frantic dog barking.

What seems to have happened to the hounds tethered to the outside of the house?

Rick quickly got up, lit a torch and went outside.

The hound straightened the leash attached to the doorframe and swooped in one direction with all his might.

And when he looked in that direction, he saw a dark shadow flashing in the jungle.

"Good fellow, I was looking for you, but I came to the door by myself."

Thinking it was the monster that killed Jimmy, Rick broke it in disgust and freed the hound to track down his target, while he hurried back to the house to retrieve his double-barreled shotgun.

The barking of the dog gave Rick direction, and he followed the direction, and it didn't take long for him to reach the edge of the cliff.

He noticed that the intruder was standing far away from the edge of the cliff, and just as he was about to raise his shotgun to shoot, the guy leaned back from the edge of the cliff facing him.

"Oh no, my Bob!"

And Rick's hound, 'Big Bob', was lying dying on the edge of a cliff, looking at his master with a look full of attachment to life.

The hound, who had been with Rick and Jimmy for nearly half a year, obviously couldn't survive.

"No!"

Convinced that the dog killer was a grave monster, Rick swore solemnly from the cliff that he would never step out of the jungle until he had avenged his companions.
