Chapter 76: Short Of Death, I Could Save Them

"They're in the trees!" yelled Ye Yao Zu as he lifted his rifle up, trying to figure out exactly where the creatures were lurking. 

The only reason why he knew they were even in the trees to begin with was because he watched a noose circle around Yi Chen's neck and pull him upward into the branches. Yi Chen didn't even have the chance to scream before they plucked him off the ground. 

"Fuck!" grumbled Si Dong as the eleven men formed a circle. "Bullets do fuck all against them."

"Knives are the same," reminded Cheng Bo Jing as his eyes scanned the shadows in front of him. He let out a soft sigh, knowing that no one would be able to hear him. 

"I don't think we are going to be able to get back to you, Kitten," he said under his breath as yet another one of their teammates let out a blood-curdling scream. "I will find you in my next life, I promise."
