Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

"Hahoo~ Hahoo~ Hahoo~~"

Hoji Kosuke, panting heavily, leaned against a large tree, cold sweat trickling down his temples and soaking the collar of his combat uniform.

He was also holding a quinque, which looked like a hand cannon, tightly in his hand.

"Mr. Hoji, what should we do now?" Kasugano Yu asked in a low voice, also hiding behind a big tree.

In his hand he held the Quinque "Narukami," which he had borrowed from Arima and others. It was a longsword that resembled a ruler and could release electric spheres.

Despite having this powerful weapon, the situation is still far from optimistic.

The situation has far worsened than anticipated.

They landed in the rainforest a day earlier than the Beast Squad, intending to find their target under the cover of night and evacuate overnight. However, they did not expect that as soon as they saw the Blood Orchid, they would be entangled by a group of giant pythons.

A whole night of desperate fleeing.

Those fearless half-human guards all perished in the snake's jaws, and Shinohara and two other colleagues were separated in the chaos.

Hoji Kōsuke, panting heavily, made a gesture for silence.

Upon seeing this, Haruka Kasugano quickly covered her mouth and leaned tightly against the big tree.

A few minutes later, the ground began to shake.

The vibrations grew increasingly intense, like heavy machinery crushing through the jungle. Each tremor traveled down the tree trunks to his back, causing Haruka Kasugano's heart to pound wildly.

He instinctively gripped Narukami's sword hilt tighter.

This wasn't an earthquake; it was more like the dull echo of a massive object colliding with the ground as it moved, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.

Hoji Kosuke's breathing gradually calmed down, but his eyes became increasingly sharp. He listened intently to the source of the vibration, and the muzzle of the Quinque "Virtual Hole" was slightly raised, aimed at the direction from which the vibration was coming.

"It's that group of giants we encountered on the road; it hasn't given up yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of grass and trees snapping came from the diagonal front, accompanied by a sticky "hissing" sound, as if something was dragging a heavy body through the jungle.

Haruka Kasugano cautiously peeked out, and after just one glance, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Just a few dozen meters away in the dense forest, a 20-meter-long monitor lizard was slowly walking towards them, with dark red bloodstains hanging between its dark green scales.

(Adapted from the movie "Python vs. Giant Lizard")

"It's a monitor lizard. Did it eat those pythons?" Kasugano Yu thought.

They encountered this giant lizard after disturbing the snake's nest; their target was also among the lizards.

The two were able to escape while the lizard and the python were fighting.

"Thankfully, that giant lizard didn't chase after us." Hoji Kosuke took a deep breath and put his finger on the trigger of the "Virtual Point." "Yu-kun, I'll hold it off for a bit, and you attack its head while we're at it."

"Okay!" Kasugano Yu nodded, a resolute glint in her eyes.

……

"boom!"

The distant explosion alerted the Beast Squad, who had just landed.

"What was that sound? An explosion?" Yukino Yukinoshita quickly opened her backpack, took out a composite bow, her long hair flowing as she rolled up the guns, ammunition, and quinque sword inside.

With seven submachine guns and ammunition, plus ten quinque longswords, one person can match the firepower of a whole squad.

Matsuzaka Sugar is the same, holding a submachine gun, with eight muscular tentacles extending from behind, gleaming with a metallic luster.

"Hachiman, let me help you with your things." Migi extended his hand, looking warily at Matsuzaka Satou.

Having fused with so many parasites, Migi couldn't even imagine her mental state.

Matsuzaka Satou's left hand also opened its eyes, glanced at Miyu, and then closed them again.

Unlike Xiao You, she can't stay conscious all the time.

"Alright, forget about that, let's head in this direction." Ōmori Yakumo finished preparing his equipment and got ready to move along the river.

The bottle brothers extended their tails and cleared the way ahead.

Just then, another loud bang came from deep within, accompanied by a deafening roar.

"Someone must have entered this jungle swamp before us. Since we've chosen this path, then life and death are in the hands of fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven."

Yakumo's voice brought the group back to their senses, and their eyes hardened.

Indeed, even they couldn't guarantee that they would make it back alive.

……

Just after the group left, the river suddenly began to boil.

A shadow appeared on the riverbed, and the sound of the boiling water suddenly rose.

The murky yellow water was forcibly torn open with a huge rift, and a black shadow far larger than the giant lizard stood upright from it, its outline in the air, accompanied by splashing water.

It was a giant snake.

It was far superior to the ordinary python that had previously hunted down Hoji and Kasugano Haruka. It was over 60 meters long, and its body, as thick as a bucket, was covered with dark scales.

More importantly, when the giant snake opened its mouth, it revealed two fangs that looked like scimitars.

Watching the departing beast squad, the forked tongue of the snake flickered in and out.

Before it could even roar, the giant snake's upright upper body suddenly sank, as if gripped by an invisible giant hand, and its massive body uncontrollably plunged into the river.

"Thump—"

A huge spray of water shot into the sky, even more violently than when the giant snake had appeared before.

The giant snake let out a mournful hiss, like a dying cry, which pierced through the clamor of the jungle.

As the water gradually calmed down, the enormous shadow that had dragged the giant snake into the water began to move again at the bottom of the river.

Their route was exactly the same as the direction the Beast Squad had taken.
