In front of Emma was a large river, flowing calmly. They were at the boundary of the marshland with fewer lush grasses. However, seeing the river never gives Emma any peace of mind. The one lesson he had learned from coming to this world was nothing was safe. If the water attacked them. Emma won't be shocked anymore. 

"Prepare to fire! Those humming beasts may attack any moment from now." Emma shouted. He had been keeping tabs on the beasts. Now, they've left the marshland, nothing is stopping those beasts. 

  Getting inside the river, Emma and his team couldn't swim correctly. Everyone was on their guard. They pray for everything to be peaceful inside the water. Just like God answered their prayer. The humming beasts did not attack them while following them. 

"it seems they won't attack us," Laka whispered with a smile. "This water is refreshing." He looked at Jojo.

"Say that after we leave the river." Jojo sneered. 'Idiot.'

"What could possibly happen. We are already in the middle of the river. Just a few minutes, we'll leave this forsaken--." Laka didn't finish his word when an ear-piercing sound echoed everywhere.

Hummmmm!

"Incoming!"

"Fire" Emma shouted. 

Everyone raised their rifle, shooting at the incoming beasts. The peaceful river descended into upheaval. The Ghost Hunter widened their eyes, flabbergasted. What the hell! This is not a beast. But millions of small insects like bees. But they are not bees, they are bigger and faster than bees while also they only have single eyes. Another insect replaced every kill insect likes bees.

"Reloading!"

"Sound grenade!"

Bang!

"Light them up!"

Swiss!

However, the mutated beast didn't seem to care about their life. They kept on attacking, trying to devour their enemy with the tiny mouth. But if look carefully. There are rows of sharp teeth. "How could bee have teeth" Emma shouted. 

>>Who told you they are bees.

Ah! Ah!

A middle-aged cried in pain. His left arm was covered with some mutated bees. Blood gushing out from his arm also more beasts swarm him. Seeing this, Emma shouted. "Duck inside the river.!"

At once, the man went underwater. Though everyone was concentrated on their battle they could still see what was going on in their surroundings. Seeing how the man's arm was eating in a matter of seconds made them petrified. Their heart was in their mouth while their eyes moved from one angle to another for any traces of these beasts. 

"Close formation," Emma commanded. 

Instantly, they enter a close formation, guarding each other back. However, the beast seems never to end. They haven't been burned, shoot at, and use sound grenades. But the beasts were still pushing forward. 'If this continues will be out of ammo soon. '

'Detecting incoming underwater movement. Closing fast.'

'This could be any better.' Emma grumbled.  "Light them up! And let move. Now!"

Swiss!

With the fire, it created a small opening. Quickly, the Ghost hunter proceed through the opening but their movement was slow. Just then, a middle-aged man came out of underwater with his left arm barely recognizable. His skin was eaten off while his muscle was not let alone in some part. The white ligament on his arm was virtually displayed. Blood dripped from the ghastly injury. Every bit of his arm had a tear of the skin.  His face turned white, trembling slightly while his eyes were barely opened. 

"Someone should support him," Emma commanded. 

Boom!

A sudden tremor came from the river bed. Splash of water raise in the sky, sprinkling everywhere. At once, everyone turned in one direction. The mutated-like beast looked froze for a few seconds before humming loudly. Immediately, they hummed, retreating like a swarm. 

"Whatever is coming is not for a joke. Prepare the RPG!" Emma commanded sternly. 

A big octopus came out of the river. It stood like a small mountain with its big eyes looking down at the intruders. The octopus and the humans looked at each other for a couple of seconds before two of its arm came out underwater and wrap around two Ghost Hunters. Seeing this, Emma shouted. 

"Fire!"

Boom! Boom!

Under the attack of the RPGs, the octopus only move a couple of meters back while green liquid came off its head. Seeing this enraged the octopus, more of its arms attack came off the river, attacking the Ghost hunters. Bang! Bang! Two people were sent flying, crashing into the river, and puking out blood. 

"Move! Move! Move!" Emma shouted. "Target its eyes. Don't let it eat our men. Blow its arms."

Boom! Boom!

Bang! Bang!

Two people fell into the river, breathing out a sigh of relief. "Watch your 6!"  Bang! Bang! Ah! Ah! Every second Ghost Hunter could be seen sent flying every second. Nevertheless, they kept moving to the river bank. 

'Scanning… target locked!'

Bang!

Before the bullet could pierce the octopus's eye. It closed its eyes while its thick eyelid protects the bullet from penetrating. Nevertheless, the pain travels through the octopus body system. It trembled and look at the direction where the attack came from.

  'Attack deflected… re-scanning.'

Swiss!

The long arm of the octopus appeared beside Emma at an insane speed, trying to send him flying. Bang! Emma punched the octopus arm while he move a couple of steps backward. The tremor from the punch made the octopus pause its other attack while it's rolled its gigantic eyes. Emma looked at the octopus with anger. 'Can't you let us be?' 

"Enough of this shit!" Emma murmured. He dropped his gun and open the box on his left arm, bringing out another rifle. However, this is not a normal rifle. It's a sniper with powerful killing power. "Keep him busy."

  'Scanning…'

Bang! Bang! 

  'Target Locked.'

Bang! Bang!

The bullets penetrated the octopus's eyes, destroying it brain. Its arms flaunted everywhere, waves of water spread while the arms hit some unfortunate Ghost Hunters, destroying some of their bones. After a couple of seconds, the octopus stopped moving and submerged into the river. Seeing this, Emma breath a sigh of relief. 

"Let get out of this goddamn river."
