The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 122

“Damn it! What the hell is this! “

One of the men yelled, jolting us out of our stupor. We aimed our guns at the thing that spontaneously

emerged from the swamp, but Jack warned us in whispers, “Don’t move! It’s a massive monitor lizard.

This creature is extremely sensitive to moving objects. So the faster we move, the easier it will be for

him to catch up with us!”

“We should squat down and slowly return,“ said another armed man. We probably invaded its domain.

So it appeared.“

He made a motion to several men behind him after he finished speaking. The men immediately

squatted down in response to his command.

We squatted after listening to the experienced mercenaries. We kept a close eye on the monster in

case it attacked us unexpectedly. At the same time, we moved our bodies cautiously to the path we

had come to find shelter behind the trees.

But at this moment, I realized the shadow in the swamp got up suddenly, extending its mouth covered

with sharp teeth. The giant monitor lizard then stuck out its tongue in the air, and it was contaminated

with purple venom. Its sharp claws deeply penetrated the soil as it moved. The giant monitor lizard

stretched its body, facing us with its back full of spiky osteoderm. It sizzled like a boa as the tongue

flicked.

My eyes opened wide in horror. If you were to look in an encyclopedia, you wouldn’t find this lizard

there. Rather, it looked like a huge monitor lizard in the age of dinosaurs, and it could eat young

dinosaurs !

How did this creature get here? It was supposed to be extinct!

Fortunately, the massive monitor lizard did not attack us right away. It remained there, its scarlet red

eyes measuring our tiny bodies. I had no idea how long its poisonous tongue could reach or how

adaptable it was. But one thing was certain; our guns would not be able to withstand its assault.

I was sweating profusely as a result of the tension, but I dared not make a move. I could only grip the NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

gun tightly and aim at its eyes. Peter was standing next to me. I could feel him shivering, but we all

resisted the urge to scream and flee.

It was only then that the giant monitor lizard’s eyes suddenly focused on Peter and my direction as it

swarmed around. When it turned its enormous head at us, we were startled. Suddenly, the lizard

squinted its eyes, then opened them wide and stared at me without moving. But it appeared to be able

to see through my body, and its gaze was fixed on a distant object.

The strangeness of this ancient creature was undeniable. It acted in no way resembling a predator.

Instead, it looked at me as if it was observing. The massive monitor lizard seemed to ponder at

something as if it was considering our motivations, where we came from, and whether it was worth

killing us.

However, Peter shivered more violently in its presence. With trembling hands, he aimed the gun at the

lizard. “Peter, calm down,” I immediately grabbed his wrist and whispered. Avoid shooting and

triggering it.”

“Bang! “ A gunshot was fired before I could finish my words. Peter and I fell back from the force of the

gun. My ears were buzzing, and I felt light-headed. When I managed to regain my consciousness and

stand up, I found that the monitor lizard had already stretched out its spikey back, and it looked like a

solid umbrella full of sharp daggers. The giant monitor lizard made a roar, and I knew it was ready to

attack.

In this type of situation, we all cursed the same word and then drew a gun and pointed it at its head.

Then we started shooting at the enormous monitor lizard. Bullets were flying till it raised its head high,

stuck out its tongue and charged towards us after a few shots.

Peter and I fired at the monitor lizard as soon as we saw it, but my terrible shooting didn’t seem to help.

Peter, who had been standing next to me, was flung off far away by the enormous monitor lizard.

Peter’s screams rang out, and he was thrown to the ground. He jumped to his feet and ran into the

woods, stumbling a few times.

Peter’s stupid moves terrified me. I rushed up to him and pounced on him. We both collapsed to the

ground, and I exclaimed, ” Calm down, Peter! Don’t flee! If you run like this, you’re making yourself an

easy target! “

Before I could finish my sentence, I heard the sound of something rushing at us. I had a good idea

what it was. Peter was already hurt, and I knew I had to protect him because if I didn’t, he wouldn’t

survive. I immediately rolled aside, holding Peter in my arms. The purple tongue, on the other hand,

was surprisingly quick and adaptable. It had already arrived in front of me in less than a minute. To

protect myself, I could only hold the gun and shield my head.

I heard a movement behind me just as I thought I was about to die from the attack. A strange force

drew me back and threw me several inches away from Peter all at once. Before I could react, the

colossal monitor lizard rolled up Peter’s legs with its tongue and dragged him towards its enormous

mouth! Peter was almost swallowed by a mouthful of razor—sharp teeth!

“No!!! “ I aimed the gun at the enormous monitor lizard and pulled the trigger. When Jack saw this, he

rushed forward and fired a few shots into its mouth.

Then, from the woods, a low voice that sounded like a cello emerged. The sound echoed throughout

the woods.

“MIYA…MAKA…“

It was Dicken’s voice!

The monitor lizard came to a halt in an instant, as if he had heard a mysterious call from heaven. Then

it let go of its tongue as if it were a command. Peter, who was terrified to death, was thrown to the

ground in an instant. In horror, he rolled aside. The monitor lizard then covered its mouth and hid its

razor -sharp teeth. Later, it even closed its scarlet – red eyes before lowering its head to the ground.

This ancient beast abruptly yielded to the voice. It made a respectful and welcoming gesture as if it had

seen God.

When I saw this situation, I was completely taken aback. My chin dropped. I couldn’t help but look for

the tall, black body among the words. But before I could find Dicken, I noticed several armed men

staring at me as if they saw a ghost behind me. They all raised their guns and aimed at me at the same

time. Or, more specifically, at what’s behind me.

Even without turning my head, I could tell who was behind me. I ‘d already noticed his black fishtail. He

slowly extended his fishtail from behind me and curled it around my ankle.

I raised my hand in a stopping gesture, palin facing them. “Everyone, please put…put down the gun,” I

said, clearing my throat and calming myself as much as I could. This is my…”

Dicken stuck his tongue out and licked my ears as I spoke. My voice stuttered, and I had to force

myself to say the next word, “friend.”

A pale but powerful arm wrapped around my waist from behind, so I could stay close to him.

When Jack looked at me, he was in shock. He looked in the mirror and saw a face that was out of this

world. His mouth was wide open as if he could put an egg in it.

As I laughed and coughed, “Uh, yeah, that’s true.” He always seems to be too friendly.

“She…is…my…Linda.“

Dicken lowered his head and rested his chin on my shoulder. He purposefully placed his lips near my

neck and scanned everyone in the room, especially Peter, who was still in shock. With a hoarse voice,

he uttered a few Japanese syllables.
