("There's no more hope now, this is the end, huhh.. that?") said uncle Ao Qi in his heart.
The centipede simply passed through the three of them like the wind.
Twisting and turning like a snake with its huge body, almost 3 zhang length, every part of its vertebrae scales made a rattling sound as they rubbed against each other, occasionally its fierce round face with 6 striking black eyes and a mouth with two saw claws made a loud hissing sound.
("Whatever it is, thank you all for the good fortune") Uncle Su Meng said inwardly, while the other two didn't react much, but in their hearts it was clear that now the storm of death in front of them had moved towards the bears behind it.
A moment later, the Golden saw centipede appeared in the middle of the path, only a dozen steps away from the group of bears that continued to advance unnoticed.
The male bear, a silver-backed fur bear only half as long as the centipede but bigger and fatter than it, roared and violently stomped toward the centipede, followed by the other females.
The silverback bear advanced fiercely and viciously, almost smashing into the golden centipede's exoskeleton, just as the centipede wrapped itself around the silverback's body and left a deep puncture mark but not so much that it affected its performance as the leader of the bears.
After all, the centipede was alone and had to fight over twenty bears.
"Gosh they're fighting" said Hei Tai slowing down his running, he wasn't very strong anymore, his adrenaline was almost depleted because it was triggered earlier by the centipede, so his energy was also drained quickly.
Uncle Ao Qi just watched from afar, under the dense pine forest with little sunlight especially now that it was cloudy plus the storm and cold wind that accompanied this whole place.
From where they were, they could faintly see the fighting scenes and chaos of the two creatures clashing with each other.
The Golden saw centipede against the silverback bear.
Uncle Ao Qi then told them to continue on their way and Hei Tai dropped off Uncle Su Meng, they trotted slowly towards the direction home.
The Golden saw centipede circled the male's body and passed him then moved on to the smaller female bears behind him.
One dark brown female bear was wrapped tightly around it, its many, sharp and sturdy legs pierced through the bear's body with ease, leaving puncture marks all over its body, making the bear roar in great pain, fresh red blood gushing slowly from all directions, like a full plastic bottle of water with holes from top to bottom.
After stabbing one female bear with dark brown fur, the centipede did the same to the others.
But certainly this group of bears were not just sitting around waiting for a painful and gruesome death to come, they wanted to get ahead but how to heroically come in the middle of the crowd which was very much in the Centipede's favor.
A moment later the male silver-backed fur bear roared to tell the females to back away from the females who were too close to the centipede, the female bears just fell silent and stepped aside following the male's direction.
The male then lunged at the females that were dying from the attack of the sawed-off golden centipede, although the female bears near the dying female bears helped to save them but the sturdy movements of the centipede were not disturbed at all.
The male ignored the female who was lying dying and stomped on her, crushing her ribs, crushing her organs, creating a huge hole in her body, making her die instantly.
The centipede managed to dodge and then tried to counterattack but the bear cleverly took a step back and understood that the centipede would make the same move, which was to circle around his body.
The bear then waited for the centipede's momentum to adjust its attack position, and a moment later the bear took another step back and managed to stomp hard on the tail of the centipede which had small spiked fangs.
The silverback male bear roared, signaling the females to stomp on the centipede, they couldn't bite it of course, the hard exoskeleton and tightly packed, constantly moving legs made it impossible to bite.
The ferocious centipede was having trouble releasing the pressure from its tail, it wanted to turn and attack the male bear but was interrupted by the female.
What the male doesn't know is that the small fangs on the back of the tail are poisonous, just not as deadly as the front ones.
The female bear blocked the centipede and the centipede fought back, the centipede tried to circle but couldn't, the tail was being held like a boulder.
The tiny fangs tried to grab the male bear's leg and only left a few venomous scratches, as the other female bear approached the centipede to join in the attack.
With no other choice, the centipede turned to face the silverback bear behind it, and tried to bite it with both poisonous fangs.
The natural venom of a living creature's body is a precious thing, to be used only in an emergency, a life-threatening situation, and that's exactly what the Golden saw centipede was facing right now.
He wanted to bite the male, but the female from the back of his head, pressed his body but it did not have much effect, the female bears were not as strong as the male silverback bear.
The male bear just dodged and released his hand pressure on the tail of the centipede, he took a step back but the centipede was a little faster than him, the centipede grabbed the shoulder of the bear and bit him hard, at the same time his long bony body was stepped on by more than 5 female bears simultaneously.
The centipede's poisonous serrated fangs tore into the flesh of the male's shoulder, enraging him, the male then lunged back at the centipede, leaving the centipede lying upside down at a great disadvantage, the female at the back unable to react and getting a slight cut from the male's lunge at the centipede's body.
But a moment later, after the bear was on top of the centipede's body, the centipede's hundreds of legs clung tightly to the male's body leaving permanent obvious puncture wounds.
At first, the centipede wants to attack the weaker one first, but the situation is urgent, the male does not want his females to die in vain.
The male, aided by the females, then tries his best to help the silverback bear escape the clutches of the centipede's legs.
The centipede bites the bear's neck for the second time, meaning that the centipede is risking his life this time, although now his body is immobilized by the silverback fur bear, which is bigger than the centipede.
The females behind the male then willingly bite the centipede's legs that are stuck to the male's body, although it is not very helpful but at least it is annoying.
The bite of the centipede that was still stuck made the bear dizzy, but with his savage instincts, he then removed his legs from the position of holding the lower body of the centipede, he stood up with difficulty, the females just watched.
The bear then slammed the front of himself into the ground carrying the Golden saw centipede with such force that it released its bite, leaving the Golden saw centipede momentarily speechless.
The male silverback bear staggered, while the fresh female who was only left a few helped him not to fall.
The golden saw centipede who then got back up ran in the direction of twisting his body and stood in a circular repositioning pose.
Then he came forward with his dirty body and exoskeleton cracked where the silverback male bear had hit him.
Both the golden saw centipede and the silverback bear had suffered heavy losses, but it was clear that the silverback male bear had lost the most, as several of his females were dead, and almost all of them were dying, while there were only a few left to keep him company in good health.
The hissing sound of the centipede haunted the entire battle area, depressing the fighting spirit of the bears especially when they realized that their male leader could no longer fight properly.
The silverback male bear who was on the verge of dying could only remain silent as he watched the centipede slaughter his dying females, killing one by one their members viciously.
The less able bear then collapsed, roaring softly to get the remaining females to protect him, he himself tried to get up but the poison was attacking his forelegs and neck and shoulders, making his mind muddled, dizzy, and staggering.
This one-sided massacre was carried out by the Golden saw Centipede, who despite cracking his tail and lower neck, was able to display his strength in front of the dark brown female bears that were weaker than the male.
Moments later, the Golden saw Centipede managed to destroy an entire troop of these bears, leaving the male alone dying helplessly, his once ferocious eyes, and deep killing intent, replaced by the weak and sad eyes of a helpless prey.
The golden chainsaw centipede cared little for the dying male, leaving him to die in excruciating pain, his body paralyzed and his head aching with dizziness as the poison continued to erode his body.
While the centipede himself was enjoying the fruits of this war, he ate the carcasses of the lying female bears, he cut the skin of the females and entered the bodies of the female carcasses.
Eating every organ of the body, from the heart, intestines, liver, then crushing the bones that block the contents of other parts of the food, like crushing cookies to get the creamy parts.
With its jagged saw-like fangs, the golden saw centipede eats its way through the female bear carcass, leaving an empty shell of shattered bones and badly damaged skin, with no organs inside.
As for the surviving male, he lay as if lifeless, his breathing weak, so weak, he wanted to die, but the poison that continued to erode him made his body naturally keep him alive.
Now his turn came, the silverback male bear was visited by the golden saw centipede, he then bit the big belly skin covered with light brown fur, and tore it off without releasing any poison at all, and inserted his head, eating the internal organs of the living silverback bear's body alive, until finally he died shortly due to blood loss.
The golden saw centipede eats its way through its prey, making it the only apex predator here.
This is the Golden saw Centipede, the true Apex Predator of the The interior of the border forest.
