Chapter 281: Chapter 236: No Body Left Whole

The double-barreled shotgun fired "bang bang" twice at the same spot, splattering soil and finally prompting the stunned person to react, running and crawling away from where the bullet had landed - just two or three meters away from his feet!

Distant police officers, bored and looking at the Gobi, suddenly heard gunshots, drew their pistols on instinct, and rushed towards the sound:

"What’s going on?"

Douglas Cooper was next to Sean Knight and reacted the quickest, but had no gun, so he picked up a shovel and ran with Sean.

Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington also quickly appeared nearby.

Elijah ran to Sean’s side, while Lincoln protected Grant Kenneth and Willow Taylor and dispersed the workers.

So, within a minute after the gunshot, the police arrived and saw Elijah and the others protecting Sean as they approached the excavation site.

The sandy soil at the shooting site was tumbling as if there were an invisible giant hand stirring it below.

Sean looked down to load bullets into his hunting rifle, knowing that just one or two shots would not be enough to kill it!

Some people in the distance ran far away, while others seemed fearless, running behind the police holding their mobile phones and starting to shoot.

Although there was no signal on their phones, they could still record the event and share it later!

This was much better than filming just two holes!

The policeman, who had heard rumors of unidentified creatures over the past two days, now basically linked this to that.

He aimed his gun at the spot but didn’t fire and watched cautiously.

As soon as he saw someone approaching, the policeman shouted immediately:

"Don’t come near! It’s dangerous here!"

Although he hadn’t seen anything, the tumbling sand didn’t seem like something that could be caused by an ordinary creature!

At that moment, suddenly, a massive mouth the size of a basketball emerged from the sand, with wounds at the corners of its mouth, spewing green liquid.

The mouth was full of sharp teeth, looking terrifying!

Although he couldn’t see any eyes, the policeman felt a chilling sensation when the sharp teeth were facing him!

He instinctively fired at the giant mouth!

"Bang Bang Bang Bang!"

He kept pulling the trigger even after he had emptied his pistol of bullets!

By this time, Sean had already reloaded his hunting rifle and fired two shots at the big mouth!

The mouth, exposed outside, turned to face Sean after being shot by the policeman.

It seemed to be brewing an attack.

Realizing he had no bullets left and that they wouldn’t cause fatal damage to the creature anyway, the policeman suddenly turned and ran!

He ran to the police car, took out a package, and quickly ran back!

At this time, the creature had burrowed back into the soil, and judging from the turmoil on the ground, it was clearly heading towards Sean and his group!

Sean and the others quickly dispersed, and the mound of sand calmed down where Sean had been standing, revealing the big mouth once again!

Just then, the policeman suddenly threw something into the big mouth!

Sean, with sharp eyes, saw it very clearly!

It was a hand grenade!

The hand grenade was thrown accurately into the big mouth, and the mouth opened and closed, swallowing the hand grenade!

"Boom!"

A few seconds later, the ground shook, and a small mound of soil suddenly bulged where the big mouth was, bursting with great force, and blowing the creature to pieces!

Sean finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The creature was finally blown to death!

Although he didn’t know how many there were in total, at least the danger was gone for now.

The policeman was also terrified and didn’t approach until quite a while later to examine the situation.

By this time, Sean and Elijah had walked over to the broken pieces, and Sean kicked one with his foot, realizing that the creature seemed to be just a skin. The fragments from the explosion were nothing but skin and thick liquid splattered everywhere, which was highly corrosive when it came into contact with objects.

Grant Kenneth came back at this time, saw the remnants, and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Could this be a giant bug?"

He searched for a container and picked up a few pieces of skin to put inside.

Sean, who was closest, also picked up a few pieces of skin and some teeth. He laughed and told Elijah and others:

"You guys should pick some up too. Such rare creatures - just the skin alone could fetch a high price from many buyers for research or just out of curiosity."

Elijah and the others responded quickly, so, by the time the policeman came over, there were only fragments on the ground, and a lot of sticky liquid.

Elijah and his group simply grabbed shovels, dug up the exploded pit, and found more broken skin.

Those courageous people who had used their phones to take pictures also came back to join in the excitement.

Sean looked around with his Sky Eye and didn’t see anything similar underground, finally feeling relieved.

This excavation work had truly had its ups and downs.

He asked Willow Taylor to explain to the workers that the bug that had attacked people had been blown up by the police, and that it was safe now, so there was no need to panic.

This time, the workers’ reaction was much better. After all, the creature hadn’t bitten anyone and was already shot by Sean. Although it was terrifying, the fact that Sean had discovered it in advance somehow made everyone feel safer.

Sean went over to thank the policeman.

The policeman was a bit shy, just smiling without saying much.

It wasn’t long before people from the small town came over.

As expected, after learning the details from the workers, some people offered a high price to purchase the bug’s skin.
