After several crises, Rebecca and the others were no longer as terrified as before, especially since they had personally killed a Wendigo.
Only by confronting terror can one better deal with terror.
With a weakness, they naturally wouldn't scream in fear like before, but that was under similar strength conditions, not including the current situation.
That cave entrance was at least three meters high.
The monster in front of them stood upright, occupying the entire cave entrance, and its completely different skin color and height from other monsters all proved its power.
Sarah and the others had intended to use the monster's blind spot to move stealthily, but as they moved a few steps, the monster's pupils followed their movements.
This was very bad news; the opponent could see.
Fear once again surged into their hearts.
Beth gripped the gun in her hand and shakily raised it, aiming.
Rebecca whispered, "Beth, don't shoot yet. First, confirm if its target is really us."
She was still relatively calm. With the opponent's size charging over, a gun might not kill it, but the three of them would definitely be finished.
Rebecca's idea was good, but reality often contradicts ideas.
Before they could make their next move,
The Evil Spirit Wendigo had already dropped to all fours and charged towards the three. Beth, startled, fired several shots.
Every shot hit, and if it were a carbon-based life form, it would be gone by now.
But the Evil Spirit Wendigo only grunted in pain, then pounced even more ferociously in front of Beth, backhanding her with a slap that sent her flying, human and bag falling into the blood pool, her fate unknown.
Rebecca turned and ran. Sarah took two steps back and sat dumbfounded on the ground, staring blankly at the monster in front of her. She was going to die…
"Sarah!"
The Evil Spirit Wendigo heard the sound and slowly turned its head, still holding a head dripping with blood and gore…
Juno looked at the familiar face in the Evil Spirit Wendigo's hand, her emotions on the verge of collapse. She shook her head, raised her hand, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang."
"Roar!"
The Evil Spirit Wendigo was enraged. It threw away the head in its hand, opened its gaping maw, and suddenly pounced on Juno.
Juno was also furious. After running out of bullets, she pulled out her ice axe and roared, engaging the Evil Spirit Wendigo in a one-on-one battle.
Juno indeed had a burst of power; her best friend's death made her combat effectiveness soar, but this couldn't change the outcome.
Even pistol bullets couldn't penetrate the Evil Spirit Wendigo's skin, let alone an ice axe.
The ice axe in Juno's hand was directly swatted away by a claw from the Evil Spirit Wendigo, which then pinned her to the ground, opening its mouth as if to deliver a golden headshot, its movements fluid and without the slightest hesitation.
John, who had been hiding behind watching the show, couldn't possibly let it succeed. If Juno died, there would be one less person to share the firepower, and besides, this was a good opportunity.
His rifle was aimed, and the moment the Evil Spirit Wendigo opened its mouth, bullets were poured in without hesitation.
The Evil Spirit Wendigo stood up, covering its neck, and retreated a few steps. Even though it had thick skin, taking a full clip of bullets wasn't easy; its insides were always soft.
It made a strange sound, lay on the ground, and spat out a pool of blood from its mouth.
John didn't give the Evil Spirit Wendigo a chance to catch its breath, continuing to suppress it with rifle bursts.
At the same time, he took out a phantom card. It showed 'Unable to Contain'?
That shouldn't be the case. Logically, as long as a containment object is severely wounded, it can generally be contained, unless…
John looked at the Evil Spirit Wendigo, and a sudden ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Seeing Juno still preparing to go in for the kill, John quickly called her back.
"Don't go over there, it's not right!"
Juno was already blinded by anger and couldn't hear John's words. She picked up her ice axe and rushed over.
Before she could even get close, she was thrown back. The Evil Spirit Wendigo roared at the sky, black smoke emanating from its body, its skin constantly expanding like boiling water. The next second, bones directly pierced through its skin, protruding densely.
This looked nothing like a carbon-based life form anymore.
Because of the bone spurs, the opponent's body looked like it had magnified by a circle, and its pupils glowed blood-red, staring intently at John.
Putting everything else aside, this appearance alone, even if it did nothing, could scare adults and children alike, let alone in the oppressive environment of a cave.
John forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
"If I said I didn't mean it just now, would you believe me?"
The Evil Spirit Wendigo opened its mouth, and the bullets were squeezed out of its body, dropping onto the ground, the sound clearly audible in the cave.
Well, it seems it didn't believe him.
The phantom card also displayed information at this moment.
"Containment object has been possessed by an evil spirit."
John, seeing the opponent's appearance, somewhat wanted to run, but with the aggro maxed out, even if he ran now, the opponent would probably still fixate on him.
At this moment, rustling sounds came from above.
Under John's instruction, six Wendigo subordinates feigned allegiance, gathering around the Evil Spirit Wendigo as if to support it.
Juno swayed and stood up at this moment. She was desperate; even a rifle couldn't kill it. It was no longer a normal monster.
It seemed she was destined to die here today, no matter what…
If she hadn't taken it upon herself to change the expedition's location, perhaps this nightmare wouldn't have happened.
Beth and Rebecca returned from the other side. Beth had just climbed out of the blood pool, covered in blood. She still had some conscience and wanted to take John with her to escape.
Juno picked up the ice axe from the ground.
"Rebecca, you guys run. I'll hold them off."
"We can't run. It's already fixated on us," John said, pulling out a military spike and two pistols from his waist.
He gave the guns to Beth and Rebecca and the military spike to Juno.
Everything usable was being used.
"Are you ready?" John asked.
Juno nodded, gripping the military spike in her hand.
Beth and Rebecca hid to one side, aiming and cocking their Glock pistols.
The strategy was clear: Juno would be the tank in front, with John and Beth providing cover.
A hint of human-like cruelty appeared in the Evil Spirit Wendigo's eyes—the look of seeing food. It wasn't afraid of them escaping; in fact, escaping would only whet its appetite.
Unfortunately, the food chose not to run, but to resist.
John raised his rifle and instantly opened fire. The gunshots were like a signal. The six subordinates surrounding the Evil Spirit Wendigo immediately moved, one by one, jumping onto it and frantically tearing at the Evil Spirit Wendigo.
Although Juno didn't know why these monsters were fighting among themselves, she knew this was an opportunity and rushed forward with increased speed.
John set up his rifle on the side, occasionally firing a burst.
There was also a difference between monsters and monsters.
The Evil Spirit Wendigo was annoyed by these little things. Although it didn't understand why they suddenly turned on it, that no longer mattered. A bone spur from its right hand, delivered with an elbow strike, directly pierced through the body of one of them.
John watched as his subordinate's pupils quickly lost their color, and it was flung aside by the Evil Spirit Wendigo like a piece of rotten meat. He felt a little heartache.
After all, he had painstakingly contained it!
John unleashed his last trump cards: Deformed Cannibal Boss and Number Two. The Boss held a machete, and Number Two held a bow and arrow.
John, rifle in hand, also charged forward, with the Deformed Cannibal Boss close behind.
Number Two followed at the very back with the bow and arrow. In this situation, shooting from behind was no longer very useful; it was better to engage in a straightforward shootout.
Juno had already rushed in front of the Evil Spirit Wendigo, joined by Beth and Rebecca providing cover.
They were surrounded and attacked!
