I Became A Zompirewolf Chapter 542 Xylopian Trouble (3)

Chapter 542 Xylopian Trouble (3)

The sun slowly began to rise on the alien planet, casting a warm glow over the rocky terrain. As the light grew stronger, the Ghosts emerged from their temporary shelter, stretching and yawning after a night of rest.

Vimur stepped out first, followed closely by Laihud. The air was crisp and fresh, with a hint of sweetness from the alien flora. They took a deep breath, savouring the unfamiliar scent.

The small furry creatures were already awake, scurrying about their business. Some were foraging for food, while others were chasing each other around the rocks. Vimur watched them with amus.e.m.e.nt, marvelling at their agility and cuteness.

As the sun climbed higher in the sky, the rocky forest was bathed in a golden light, casting long shadows on the ground. The crew gathered their equipment and set out to explore the planet, with the furry creatures scampering beside them.

Vimur led the way, using his advanced sensors to detect potential hazards or resources. Laihud followed close behind, his weapon at the ready in case of danger. The furry creatures seemed to sense their confidence and bravado and followed along with curiosity.

The crew moved slowly and deliberately, taking in the sights and sounds of the alien planet. The rocky terrain was unlike anything they had ever seen before, with towering rock formations and craggy cliffs jutting out from the ground.

As they continued their journey, the sun climbed higher in the sky, casting a warm and inviting glow over the landscape. The crew paused momentarily to take it all in, basking in the beauty of the sunrise.

Suddenly, one of the creatures darted off into the trees, making a panicked chirping noise. The rest of the creatures followed suit, and the crew exchanged worried glances.

"What's going on?" Alina asked.

Before anyone could answer, a loud rumbling noise echoed through the forest. The ground beneath their feet began to shake, and the crew realised they were in danger.

"Everyone, get to cover!" Vimur shouted, pulling out his weapon.

The crew scrambled to find shelter as the rumbling grew louder. Suddenly, a ma.s.sive creature burst through the trees, its enormous claws tearing up the ground as it charged towards them.

The crew held their ground, weapons at the ready, as the creature closed in on them. But before they could even take a shot, the Ratacules sprang into action, swarming around the creature's feet and nipping at its heels.

The creature let out a roar of pain and frustration, thrashing around as the Ratacules continued their attack. The crew watched in amazement as they managed to bring down the ma.s.sive beast, working together to take it down.

As the dust settled, the crew approached the ratacules, who were now chirping happily and bouncing around in excitement.

"Well, that was unexpected," Jay said, grinning from ear to ear.

"Who would have thought these cute beasts had such a savage side to them?" Someone else commented.

Meanwhile, Vimur turned to Laihud, whose eyes were wide in surprise, "They're harmless, eh?"

Laihud quickly snapped out of his dazed state before smiling awkwardly. "I meant they are harmless to us!"

"Yeah, right." Vimur teased him before instructing the others to salvage what they could from the enormous creature.

Although it had a lot of meat, consuming unknown creatures often led to disaster. As such, they would only collect the fallen beast as samples of the planet's fauna.

The Ghosts continued their mission, the small furry creatures following them excitedly. As they walked, they couldn't help but feel a sense of grat.i.tude towards their new allies, grateful for the unexpected help in a time of need.

As the crew trekked through the rocky forest, they suddenly heard a loud growling noise coming from behind them. They cautiously approached the area and saw a strange creature emerging from a burrow.

The creature was unlike anything they had ever seen before. It stood about six feet tall, with four long legs that ended in sharp claws. Its skin was covered in thick, matted fur, which gave it an almost prehistoric appearance. Its head was long and narrow, with glowing red eyes that seemed to pierce through the darkness.

"It's a Zorax!" Laihud whispered with a sense of urgency.

As the Zorax emerged fully from its burrow, it let out a deafening roar, causing the ground to shake beneath its feet. The Ghosts immediately raised their weapons, ready to defend themselves, while the Ratacules hid behind their new friends.

Their hastiness caught the creature's attention as it charged towards them. The Zorax charged towards them, its eyes fixated on Vimur. It let out a deafening roar and leapt towards him, claws extended.

Vimur dodged the Zorax's attack and fired his laser rifle again, hitting the Zorax in the chest. The creature let out a bloodcurdling screech and stumbled back, but it didn't stop its attack.

It charged towards the crew again, but this time, Alina intervened. She quickly pulled out a small device and pressed a b.u.t.ton, causing a bright flash of light to emit from it.

"What is that?" Jay asked, watching as she activated it.

"It's a disruptor," Alina explained, holding the gadget out towards the Zorax. "It should mess up its senses for a few minutes."

"Good job, Alina." Vimur let out a sigh of relief. "For a moment, I thought that was it for me."

The Zorax roared again and charged forward, but as it got closer, Alina activated the disruptor. The effect was immediate - the Zorax stumbled, shaking its head in confusion.

Using its dazed state to their advantage, the Ghosts trapped the creature with an electric net. The Ghosts were able to sedate it and transport it back to their ship for Laihud to examine the beast and find out why the Zoraxes were acting so hostile towards others.

On their way back, they realised the Zorax was injured and in great pain, even before Vimur shot it. It wasn't trying to attack them out of hostility but out of fear and desperation.

"Something is off," Laihud mumbled. "Zoraxes are supposed to be at the top of the food chain here, and it makes no sense that some other creature tried to hunt it down."

"Whatever it is, we'll take care of it. But first, let's get this beast some help." Vimur replied, gently patting the unconscious beast.
