Surprised, everyone immediately began to gather around the girls who were shouting as they asked, "What happened ?!"
However, the answer to the question was immediately made clear as they looked in the direction that the screaming girls were staring at with wide eyes.
Lying on the dunes are two corpses! Under the moonlight, the corpses looked like they had been sucked dry, with their skin tightly stuck to their bodies after all their internal fluids were sucked out.
“It.... It's Minnie and Juan!” shouted someone from inside the search party who recognized the clothes the corpses were wearing.
“How can this happen…? It's only been half an hour!" professor Yale said.
Although the professor had a lot of experience in his field, he could not help feeling that the current turn of events was truly unbelievable. Seeing two corpses alone made her hair stand up!
“...This...This is Capra Nanny... She is here!” stammered the Master of the Desert in horror before gulping.
Hearing that, everyone became even more frightened, prompting them to gather together.
“Come to me, Giya! Stay by my side!" wynn shouted, terrified in his voice.
Meanwhile, Master of the Desert—who has now knelt—began to pray, “We're through, Capra Nanny! We have no other intention, please forgive us!”
Hearing that, everyone immediately began to imitate his actions, repeating the exact same words that the bearded man had used.
Gerald, however, just walked over to the two corpses and upon seeing, he said, “What is Capra Nanny? This was done by a mere beast!”
“...W-what are you saying? It's bullshit! You're just a young boy who doesn't know anything! You better keep your tongue or you'll be the first to be killed by Capra Nanny!” reprimanding the Master of the Desert in return, clearly felt that Gerald's words were too careless.
“Take your tongue or you will be the first person Capra Nanny~ killed!”
As soon as Master of the Desert said that, a faint sound—that almost blends with the wind and sand—was heard.
Everyone listened in horror as the creepy-sounding, child-like voice repeated. The fact that all this is happening under the night sky just makes the atmosphere feel more real.
“K-sister! Be carefull! There's something behind you!” warning Giya and Meredith as they simultaneously stood up, overwhelming fear in their voices.
Gerald already had a good feeling about what 'something' was'. He had already bumped into her before, and after turning around to stare at the monster, his guess turned out to be correct.
The monster itself had green eyes and disheveled hair, and was currently crawling out of the dunes. Standing up straight, he looked similar to a human at first glance. However, a closer examination, anyone would definitely know that he did not.
Still repeating the same sentence from before, Capra Nanny began to slowly crawl towards Gerald with her long tongue—which was filled with rows of thorns on it and was occasionally dragged across the sand— hinged.
“C-Capra Babysitter!” The Master of the Desert stuttered in fear as he instantly started prostrating in front of him.
“I've been looking for you all night and day, you know? So you finally decided to show yourself again!” yell Gerald, cold.
To be honest, with Gerald's speed, he had previously made it past the midpoint of the wasteland. However, not long after, he discovers the existence of Capra Nanny.
Under normal circumstances, Gerald would just walk past him so he could leave. However, this is not normal. After all, Giya and her group were still behind him.
Gerald is concerned about Giya's safety because one of them, the animal seems to prefer attacking tourists. Second, he could also tell that the beast was not something that ordinary people could handle easily. With that thought, he could only turn around to look for Giya.
When the beast finally realized who Gerald was, anger filled its green eyes as green saliva dripped from its gaping mouth.
"Leaving! You all! I'll deal with him!" gerald orders as he turns to look at Professor Yale and the others.
While Professor Yale and the others immediately nodded, Wynn himself took out a gun from his pocket before saying, “That's just an animal, isn't it? What are you all afraid of? Don't worry, Gia! I'll protect you! Look at me kill him!”
Being as selfish as he was, Wynn clearly did not let his rival steal his attention. With that, he aimed at the monster and pulled the trigger!
Although the bullet hit its target, Capra Nanny was barely affected by the attack.
