Chapter 989 The Colossal Creature
The older something was, the more mysterious and captivating it became.
Humans had a deep-seated desire and impulse for things like treasures or riches.
Right now, Joachim and the others were being driven by this kind of desire and impulse.
More importantly, Joachim and his team had underestimated the defensive capabilities of this so-called treasure vault. They treated it as if it were something they could easily trample over.
As the second round of explosions began, a vast cloud of smoke and dust was swept up by the blast wave, spreading and rolling out in all directions. It blurred everyone's vision.
“It's open! We've blasted open the doors to the treasure vault!”
The mercenaries under Joachim began to dance with joy, one after another.
A smile also appeared on Joachim's face.
As long as he could bring back the treasures from this vault, his status in Jungle Tigers would elevate several notches.
As the dust and smoke gradually cleared, a massive black hole appeared before everyone's eyes.
“Let's go. We're going in to move the gold!”
As Joachim gave the command, everyone began to move towards the cave.
However, before they could venture much further into the cave, the surroundings suddenly began to shake violently.
“Captain, what's going on?”
After pondering for a moment, Joachim said with his head bowed, “It seems our blasting must have damaged the structure of the underground treasure vault, causing a series of structural deformations. This is quite normal.”
These mercenaries were no strangers to demolition work, so when Joachim spoke, all of them suddenly wore expressions of sudden realization.
If there was an issue with the structure of the treasure vault, it could indeed cause such tremors.
However, Joachim and his companions' optimism didn't last long. The surrounding tremors became increasingly intense. It was as if something was about to burst forth from the depths of the cave.
Just as Joachim was about to speak, a colossal creature suddenly emerged from the cave.
The mercenaries who were about to walk into the cave had no idea that such a huge monster was lurking within.
Several mercenaries were sent flying by this colossal creature, just like ants being tossed aside.
“Good heavens. What on earth is this creature...”
The mercenaries were all terrified by the colossal creature before their eyes.
Several of the more timid mercenaries simply plopped down on the ground. Their legs were too weak to even stand.
“What are you all standing around for? Open fire!”
As Joachim gave the command, some seasoned mercenaries began to aim their shots at the monster's head.
However, these bullets hitting the monster's head were just like striking a steel plate. All of them were deflected.
These bullets couldn't even leave a white mark on the monster's head, let alone cause any effective damage to it.
“Captain, this monster's head is just too tough. Maybe we should retreat.”
Vice-captain Gonzo seemed to be asking for Joachim's approval, but in reality, he was already preparing to run away.
What is the point in fighting a monster that is a whopping thirty meters tall? We are simply no match for it. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Joachim gritted his teeth and said, “The presence of such a powerful creature guarding this place surely indicates there's a treasure collection inside. Are we just going to stand by and watch the treasure slip away right under our noses?”
“Captain, the treasure is inanimate, and it won't move. But this monster is alive! Can't we just lure the monster away now, and then come back for the treasure later? Wouldn't that work just as well?”
Joachim wanted to say something else, but the creature had fully emerged from the cave.
Donald who was standing at the back knew it was already too late to do anything.
