155 Mathew and Talias Hunch: Another Monster Wave! (1/2)

Talia stole a glance towards them in response before following their gaze--glancing towards her 'babies'. The sight of the ground being swarmed by ants made Talia force out a smile as she glanced back to Beatrice, the Support Team, and the other Karakoa crew and asked, ”How can I help you?”

However, Before Beatrice could utter another word, a howl coming from the Woba Mountain reverbrated--reaching even the plains. Everyone glanced towards the Woba Mountain as their faces wore a frown. They watched the birds fly from the trees as their hearts raced faster because of the loud terrifying howl.

”Wha-what's that?” Charlotte asked with a pale look on her face.

Beatrice, Yuson, and Aldo could only stare in a daze towards the Woba Mountain as Talia shifts her attention back to the loots that were being delivered to her by her 'babies'. When the howls stopped, Talia noticed through her 'babies' reaction that the ground was slightly trembling--indicating that something was on its way towards them.

In the next second, Talia can't help but flick her tongue after she saw that Beatrice and the rest of their force were still staring towards the Woba Mountain. Some of them even wore a grim or pale face--hinting that some of them wanted to go back to the ships.

That said, she knew that she was not their superior. So, she opted to spam messages towards Pedro and Mathew instead--informing them about the howl and the 'weak shakes' that her 'babies' felt in the ground.

[Killer Looks (Talia): Brother! Brother! Brother! Brother! Brother! Did you hear the howl coming from the mountain that we flew above when we rode behind Expert Bro? I have a bad feeling that monsters are on their way! What should we do? What should we do? What should we do? What should we do?]

Mathew, who was already Kilometers away from them, frowned the moment his Player Interface popped out, only to display Talia's 'annoying' message. Hopeless, he could only halt on his advance and revert back to his human form in order to reply to Talia and avoid getting an earful of complaints later in real life.

He glanced back to where he came from and frowned. He pondered for a few seconds before he murmured to himself, ”Was that a howl? Ain't that expert bro?”

He typed what he thought and sent it to her little sister, Talia.

[Killer Smile (Mathew): Howl... No? I did hear a sound from your direction. But I thought it was just Expert Bro?]

Talia furrowed her eyes in response, and grumbled, ”Your hearing is weak as always!”

”Met by now? That's odd...” Mathew furrowed his brows whilst glancing around him--looking for any signs of fire, and, at the same time, he glanced into the sky--trying to spot if there were any flying figures around him.

[Killer Smile (Mathew): There's no signs of fire, nor a sign of any flying animal as far as my eyes could see.]

[Killer Looks (Talia): Are you sure that you are not using your nose this time?]

[Killer Smile (Mathew): Hey little girl! My eyes are wide open! There's nothing literally around me except dead bodies and torn down trees! In any case... Have you tried to contact Expert Bro? Don't tell me you don't have him on your friend list?]

[Killer Looks (Talia): I did!]

[Killer Smile (Mathew): What did he say?]

[Killer Looks (Talia): He's not yet responding! Anyway... Brother! What should I do? The howl reminds me of the one we encountered earlier.]

[Killer Smile (Mathew): Wolves?]
