novelAn Irksome Appearance

Of course, the killer weapon that has been banned to be used on civilians nationwide had a recoil force like no other. Even though a recoil spring had been incorporated in the barrel along with a muzzle break, anyone who could not take more than 100 pounds in weight on their arms had better not play with this gun.
Chen Fan was getting used to the gun. His only concern was that the gun was earth-shakingly loud. In fact, it was such a loud gun that Chen Fan could only store it in a soft bag and sling it over his shoulder.
As he jumped off the vehicle while carrying the bizarre looking bag, Cloudracer, who was hovering in the air, came rushing as if it was seeing its family again. It was using its head, which was now as big as Chen Fan, against him.
It had just been a few days, but Cloudracer's body size had increased twofold. Its wings were now 24 meters apart. It was definitely a huge monster. After playing awhile with Cloudracer, Chen Fan did a flip jump onto its back and flew in the direction where the gorillas gathered.
"Rawr!" Cloudracer roared. Its wings were flapping hard as it rose above the ground, agile like an F-35 joint strike jet fighter.
The horrible shrieking noises were still going on. The blood was so dense that you could smell it from miles away. Chen Fan didn't understand how those gorillas could survive up till now.
Gorillas were herbivores. They would only eat meat occasionally by catching unsuspecting small animals. However, there were no fruits like bananas, durians, or jackfruit in that desert for the gorillas to eat, so only animal carcasses could fill them up.
When Cloudracher was preparing to land on the top of the mountain, Chen Fan was slightly stunned. The giant python was also on the top of the mountain, staring at him suspiciously.
"It seems like this fellow wants to join this adventur!" Chen Fan walked quietly to the python, opened his bag, and retrieved an ultra killer weapon that was almost two meters long.
"Clack!" He inserted the clip, then focused his vision onto the advanced combat optical gunsight (ACOG) to observe the current situation.
"Croak!" The python growled. It was curious as to what Chen Fan had in his hands, but he did not want to explain it to the snake.
A telescopic sight with a magnification of 8-32x44MM was able to deliver clear images to Chen Fan's eyes. When the magnification was set to 20, he could see the hairs on the gorillas.
All 27 silverback gorillas were highly alert, their expressions grim. They each held a large stick in their muscular right hands and kept on waving it. Their gaze was sending out a message: "Try me if you dare!"
It seems like the animals that came to provoke them had changed again. Most of them were creatures like jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards, and some other strange looking ones that Chen Fan could not recall.
After observing for a long time, he shook his head. He was not optimistic about these attackers. It was a group of 20 large gorillas, who had teamwork skills and knew how to use weapons, against a bunch of sly animals that only knew how to charge blindly. It was incomparable at the most basic level. So, what if there were more of them?
You can't expect a tiger to team up with a wild boar, right?
In fact, Chen Fan thought it was rather pointless if the giant python went up there. There were 27 large gorillas that would tear it to shreds with brute force. He estimated this was the reason why the snake was hiding in a corner to watch, instead of joining the battle.
Then, the giant python turned and looked at Chen Fan eagerly. What it meant was very clear. It wanted Chen Fan to summon the lethal electric eel to help him finish this business in a magnificent feat.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not very good at reading expressions. I totally do not get what you mean!" Chen Fan turned away cold-heartedly, ignoring the snake's desperate gaze.
"Clunk!" The electric eel was getting anxious too, wagging its tail, which was now as large as a train. If it wasn't concerned that Chen Fan was too small and weak, it would have joined the fight by now.
"Actually..." He couldn't stand the python anymore. Chen Fan pretended to think deeply and stroked his chin."It's not impossible to help you obtain that plant...... Am I insane? Negotiating with an animal?"
"Fine. I'll help you obtain the plant, but I get to try it first. If it's effective, then we'll share it, half each. If it's ineffective, it's all yours!"
To be honest, Chen Fan wanted to find out what effects the plant has as well. He didn't want to act hastily simply because he had no clue. For instance, he did not know why the giant python could increase its freeze attack by eating the blue stones, but then nothing happened for the electric eel when it did the same.
What really broke his heart was that the Ghost Moon Incense was only effective toward aquatic animals. Cloudracer had no results after eating that. Even the blue stone was ineffective for Cloudracer. Come to think of it, the giant python was the luckiest of the bunch, as it got all the advantages!
"Maybe I'm just unlucky..." Chen Fan sighed sadly. He focused his gaze on the ACOG again to observe the lake topography behind the gorillas.
To obtain the plant, it was necessary to kill all competitors. The bunch of low-grade beasts should not be a problem. He counted on the giant python to take them down solely. The gorillas were more difficult. They knew how to utilize throwing weapons, so even the electric eel had to peel its skin after getting a hit.
According to Chen Fan's observation, there were gorillas everywhere in that desert. If you go against one, it's an invitation to hell that was jointly signed by all 27 large gorillas.
"It seems like this is the only way!" Chen Fan packed the barrett sniper rifle into the bag. Then, he focused his thoughts onto the electric eel and commanded it to move closer.
It was about 23 kilometers away from the ocean. The electric eel had to climb the mountain for half an hour to reach its location. Then, it had to follow the path and swim into the lake.
Half an hour later, one flying creature, one human, and one snake stood on top of the mountain. There was a deafening rumbling sound. Then, a majestic, hundred meters long, black creature appeared before their eyes.
"Roar!"
Realizing that help had arrived, the giant python got so excited that its small eyes almost became one straight line. The electric eel greeted the giant python and moved toward the south-west direction while holding a spear. The giant python started to follow right behind unexpectedly.
"Rowr!"
The electric eel patted the python's head and pointed at his own position, then at itself, then at him again. After a bunch of complicated hand gestures, the giant python finally understood that it should remain next to Chen Fan.
A powerful energy could provide a sense of security. Chen Fan was in an unfamiliar territory and did not have the sense of security. Between the electric eel and the giant python, one of them must remain to protect him.
The mountain top was 1500 meters away from the lake. The electric eel had to turn a big circle in order to reach the lake without getting spotted by the giant gorillas.
The lake was about 30 meters deep, with a surface area of about two football fields. It was a tad small, but fortunately was big enough for the electric eel to squeeze into.
"Shoosh! Shoosh!" When the giant python turned to look at the barrett sniper rifle, Chen Fan had deftly reloaded the gun.
For this type of bullet, the shell casing itself weighed about 40 grams. The moment it fired, the bullet could reach a speed of 900 m/h instantaneously. Within 1, 500 meters, there was no need to include consideration for wind direction or bullet delays. Aim, fire, hit. It was as simple as that!
"Giant gorilla, please don't blame me for being too cruel!" Chen Fan took a deep breath, then shook his arms around to let his muscles relax.
However, just as he was ready to fire at the giant gorilla, there was a sudden change in the situation below that made Chen Fan's jaw drop right to the ground. There was a feline creature. It was not longer than 5 meters and was about 2 meters tall. It was green and had no fur. Its smooth skin was shiny, possessing the texture and sheen of a metallic substance.
When did it appear at the border of the desert?!
It had four strong limbs and its tail touched straight to the ground. It almost looked like a panther, but there was a crescent-shaped spiral horn on its forehead. Beneath its jaws were two fierce tusks. Its blue eyes that kept blinking were emitting an impressive, unstoppable aura.
The creature, however, did not make any noise or advance into attack mode. It moved forward casually and carefreely, as if it was just going to have a drink at the lake. And yet, because of its nonchalant manner, all of the surrounding animals felt deep fear. They were all shivering as they made way for it, and no one dared to make eye contact with it.
"Roar!"
The 27 giant gorillas stood in a circle. As if they had been poured ice-cold water on a winter night, their stares were cold and fierce. They pounded their chests with their left fists, producing heavy and vigorous sounds.
The giant python was grave from the sudden change as well. It curled up in a defensive mode, as if getting ready for a strong enemy.
"What in the world is this?" Chen Fan bit on his sleeves nervously. It seemed that the creature below was releasing a certain kind of powerful aura, and anybody who saw it could feel its fierce, brutal presence.
Suddenly, the gray creature stopped in its tracks and looked around with its rhombus head. Wherever its vision went, the beasts bent down instantly. The scene was like a grass cutting machine had just passed through.
Then, it looked up to the sky and roared loudly. The roar felt like thunder and pierced through the clouds. Even the electric eel, which was still submerged in the then peaceful lake, could felt the strong ripples that were formed from the vibration of its deafening cry.
The sound of its angry roar was still lingering within the mountains when the gray creature burst into bullet speed and charged toward two sides of the creatures. It was like an Acco super bulldozer, capable of blowing even a 70-80 ton giant bear into the air. The funny part was that the bear wouldn't even have a chance to retaliate. Then, it became a ray of dark light, and wherever the light went, dark smoke rose and shrieks were heard. No animal could hide from the attack of its crescent spiral horn.
"Bang!" a cattle-looking green wolf was just trying to escape when the gray creature caught up with it. It ducked from the green wolf's sharp fangs, and its forehead made a swift move as the crescent spiral horn stabbed into the wolf's temple. A generous flow of red and white fluid gushed out of the wound.
"Oh god, what is this thing?" Chen Fan was pressing on the ACOG so hard that he had almost smashed it. This creature was quicker than the giant python, and it had forcefully adopted the 106 Routines Chun Yang Jian sword technique with its horn.
