Chapter 12: The Challenge of the Behemoth

The remaining three special operators fired fiercely at the behemoth's direction, and beams of high-energy rays pierced through the jungle that covered the behemoth.

Perhaps the weapon had caused damage and pain to the behemoth, and it roared in anger and rushed out of the forest. When Henry and the others saw the appearance of the giant beast, they gasped.

The beast resembles a wolf from hell, slightly smaller than the "giant elephant" they had seen before, but with an extremely hideous face. Its eyes glow with a cold blue light, its sharp teeth alone are 1 meter long, and its body hair stands up like hard thorns, giving people an incomparable sense of fear.

Even more frightening, its long tail forks out six branches like "cable chains", which are serrated and retractable, and the ends are extremely sharp and sharp.

The giant beast lunged at Leia and the others, its claws leaving deep marks on the surface. At the same time, six long-tailed "chains" behind it flew and stabbed at them.

Leia and the others rolled and moved, dodging the attacks of the giant beasts, and fought and retreated in the direction of the forest. In dodging, Leia discovers that perhaps due to the planet's low gravity, her body is lighter and more flexible than in 1G gravity conditions on Earth and the spaceship, and she can easily reach a distance and height of several meters in a single jump. This also helped her to dodge the attacks of the behemoths.

And this giant beast is constantly being shot at by the special operators while attacking wildly. The wounds on its body were more and more severe, and they were bleeding incessantly. Although it was more angry because of it, its movements were much slower.

Leia and Drew were still able to barely cope with the attack of the giant beast, but Henry's physical strength had not fully recovered due to his injury, and the continuous dodging and counterattacking consumed his remaining physical energy, so Henry's actions slowly became difficult. He was not paying attention, and was hit by the giant beast with a palm, and he fell to the ground. Henry immediately vomited blood from his mouth and could not move.

Leia and Drew rushed to the rescue, but Henry stopped them by shouting loudly. "Don't come here, you guys go quickly, leave it to me here, this is an order!"

Seeing that Henry was still breathing, the giant beast was ready to raise its giant palm to give him another fatal blow. Seeing this, Henry immediately hugged one of the sharp claws on the beast's palm with both hands, and when the giant palm was raised, his body was also suspended. When the beast's claws rose above its head, Henry seized the opportunity and jumped over it with all his remaining strength.

The beast did not expect this to happen, and became angry, and a "chain" on its tail stabbed at Henry at a rapid pace.

At this critical moment, Henry picked up the weapon on his back and shot down at the head of the "giant wolf". The high-energy ray instantly pierced the "giant wolf's" mind, and it let out a wail and fell to the ground and died.

But at this time, due to inertia, the "chains" still pierced Henry's body from behind. As the "chains" slipped, so did Henry.

Leia and Drew rushed over and lifted Henry's body together. But Henry could no longer speak, so he could only hold Leia's hand tightly and look at her affectionately.

Leia was already in tears at this time, and kept saying, "Hold on, I must take you back!" ”

Henry slowly raised his hand, and Leia hurriedly put his hand to the side of his face, feeling the last of his warmth, until the hands became cold...

Leia sat beside Henry for a long time. She recalled the bits and pieces she had spent with this big brother who treated her like a family member since she joined the special combat team. The help he gave her not only made her grow from a rookie who had just graduated from a military academy to an excellent special combat member, but also made her confess through words and deeds.
