Planet Tetro ~ Page 38

We kept moving at a medium pace without seeing any insect warriors . We finally reached the divide after around 20 mins of marching through the cave . We paused and looked inside of all three of the paths . We then closely peered down them as fast as we could see . After noticing nothing of significance we went down the larger path . What are those insect warriors up to ? I thought inside of my head as we advanced .

We all generally slowed down as we anticipated an attack soon . While still being in formation . After a short while , we approached the opening where the giant once lay . The large space was empty , there was just a large imprint on the ground where the giant slept . I saw a few baby furgos scurrying about . (Blue bears the size of mice ) . That was normal as they like to live in caves but hunt in rivers . The giant's musty scent still lingered through out the cave at a smaller concentration .

Visceroy let out a quick command . “ We are to continue down that path . Everyone is to make sure that they will stay safe .” We continued to carefully tread lightly as we stepped through the path . Suddenly we heard a sound . CCCHHH!!! Wooden sticks from above fell down . A large dark wooden container above us opened up and armored snakes came flying out ( large sized snakes with beautiful tan metal plates covering its entire body . Similar to the boa constrictors of our world they like to squeeze their prey to death before eating . Adults range from 12 - 16 feet long ! They also have dark green eyes ) . This is trouble they have metal plate exoskeletons and they can still move fast due to their incredible muscles !

Rose shrieked in a real high pitched scream . “ AAAAAhhhh! “ John grabbed one first and yelled “ I know the trick “! He powered up and ripped one in half . Realizing that he was the only capable of pulling that off , Visceroy just grabbed one of them and threw them against the cave wall with all of his might . Us other five Males took notes and did the same . We all did it as fast as we could without getting bitten . The armored snakes that survived the attacks were at least knocked out . The other ones were leaking blood and or stopped moving .

All of us took out one except for Rose . Which Inevitably left us 4 more to take out . She seemed paralyzed in fear . “ sn sn sn snakes “ she whispered as her body shook . Out of no where we saw 2 big yellow balls of electricity form. One on each opposite sides of us . We were trapped . The snakes were definitely to be used as a distraction , if they didn’t take us out themselves . At the same instance Rose was trapped between the 4 remaining snakes . As she kneeled down in fear on the ground , she was seen as the easiest prey .

The 4 armored snakes started to circle Rose as the two electric balls were closing in on all of us . I shouted for them to save her . I could try out my drills ability on one of these electric attacks at least . If everything works as it should my , drill will absorb the electricity . I should then be able to shoot it back at the enemies . Visceroy summoned his magical staff and made it skinny but long . He grabbed Rose by her shirt and yanked her towards Wade who caught her .
