Novel Boss
Chapter 12: Close Call
"Let go"
Supreme said as he pass the bag filled with dried roasted meats to her. Poisonous Queen took the bag with a pout, not liking the idea of carrying something.
'What a heartless guy, you will let a girl carry the load while you walk empty-handed.'
She complained as she took the bag from him. Supreme gave her a smile and nodded. "Good, we make a good team." He stated, walking toward the edge of the hill.
'Good team?! Ahh!!!' Poisonous Queen roared inwardly totally frustrated, but still followed him.
Climbing down the hill was a whole different story than going up, especially for someone with load on her back.
Supreme raised his head and looked at the sweaty Poisonous Queen, who was trying her best not to lose her grip and fall down to her death. He smirked and continue climbing down.

He landed on the ground calmly and looked around, and without a second thought he hid behind a boulder beside him.
'How did it get here so quickly?!' Supreme thought, his face completely ugly.
"Why are you hiding?" Poisonous Queen asked, as soon as she landed on the ground.
"Shhh"
Supreme placed his index finger on his lip, and gestured for her to come closer. Poisonous Queen was a little confuse but still walked up to him.
"Look over there"
He pointed at the distance, in front of them was an endless flat landscape, and the monster approaching them has four hands with four crimson eyes. This monster was currently walking straight towards the two players.
'I thought this monster was heading towards the center, How did it get here?'
"We are dead, we are fucking dead!" Poisonous Queen was on the verge of breakdown after seeing the monster.
"Can you please shut up!" Supreme silently yelled at her.
"How can I shut up?! That is a LV 15 monster!"
He shook his head and turned his attention to the monster, it was currently 30 meters (33 yards) away from them.
'Even with all my cheat, I am not sure if I can defeat this monster.' Supreme thought and whispered to his scared teammate.
"Let hide here for a while, and see its target."
Poisonous queen nodded and took a deep breath to calm herself.
Twenty meters (22 yards), the monster was moving slowly as if searching for something. It will sometimes raise its head and looked up at the sky, and sometimes, it will bring its head to the ground, and sniffed it.
"What's it doing?" Poisonous Queen asked in a low voice, the behemoth had already gotten dangerously close to them.
Supreme was silent for a moment, before his face changed dramatically.
"The bear's carcass. I think it smelled it."
"What?!" Poisonous Queen stared at him with a frown and added. "But the bear is still on the hill."
"I know that."
The black bear was a big monster, and the two players don't have the equipment or appetite to eat the whole bear in a day. So they took the good parts and leave the rest on the top of the hill.
The monster was now 10 meters (11 yards) away from them.
"Move to the other side"
Supreme advised as Poisonous Queen quickly move to the other side of the boulder, the monster walked up to the two players and stopped ten feet from them. The two had silently switched location, quietly moving around the boulder, and they were now staring at its back.
The behemoth raised its head and fixed its four eyes on the hill top. The next moment it shot upwards, grabbing the wall with its four massive hands, which was filled with claws. It didn't stop but continued climbing upwards with full speed.
"Phew..."
The two players finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thanks goodness we came down before that monster arrived." Poisonous Queen stated, wiping away the sweat on her forehead and trying to calm down her beating heart.
"No, we are lucky the meats you are carrying is already dried, or else... I am not sure if we could have been able to hid from it." Supreme said standing up.
"Come on, we need to move before it finished its breakfast and use us as dessert." He said, and without hesitation, ran away from the hill. With Poisonous Queen following behind.
"We need to get off this flat landscape, because if that monster comes down it will spot us in an instant."
Poisonous Queen just nodded as the two ran as fast as they ever had.

[CENTER OF THE ISLAND.]
"You can't defeat us!" A young man with black hair and putting on a brown jacket said with a smile. He was armed with a long silver blade, staring at the other two teams in Front of him. Behind him stood two players, both LV 2 players, while him their leader, a LV 4 player.
"Hey kid, Don't think you are a pro just because you are a LV 4 player, I can squash you in seconds." A middle-aged man said, he had roughly black hair and brown eyes, currently putting on a full set black outfit, and armed with a big sledgehammer. Behind him were four players, two in LV 2 and other two in LV 1, while him their leader; a LV 3 player.
"You guys are really boring, we won't let you gain all the rewards because you guys are going to die here." a young lady said with a smirk as she observed the two teams in front of her. She had purple hair and blue eyes, putting on a tight red yoga outfit. she stood calmly, armed with a long spear.
Two girls calmly stood behind her, their gazes fixed on the other two teams, both LV 3 players, while she their leader; a LV 4 player.
"Who asked you to speak?" The young man growled at her.
"Because we are in the same level, don't give you the courage to speak to me in that manner" the lady said coldly.
"Hahaha... I like you girl!" the middle-aged man said with a hearty laugh.
"Fuck You two!! My team will be the only one entering that temple and claiming all the rewards inside!" The young man hissed, his sword emanating a red glow.
The other two leaders wasn't worried about his glowing swords, because their weapons started glowing with a silver and blue light.
"Don't think you are the only one with a rare weapon skin" the young lady said with a smile, as she and her team prepared to attack.
"Let end this! The winner takes all" The middle-aged man raised his silver glowing sledgehammer. He looked at the two enemy teams and said:
"Let the show begin."
