AVP Hunters Planet 22

Hatred flowed through Bakuub's veins. The Hard Meat's secondary jaws were extending. Its claws and extensors held the bisor firmly. The progress of the creature's dinner was painstaking and deadly. Bakuub reached forward, hit a button. The entry lid of the cage slipped back. Even as it did, Bakuub reached behind his back, pulled out his spear, aimed. With one swift motion of his trained arm, Bakuub sent the javelin downward with blinding speed. The razor tip met with the back of the kainde amedha's head, driving down with such force that the upper carapace was pierced as well. Bakuub had judged well. It was for good reason that he had taken pains to study the anatomy of the Hard Meat. He had judged his blow not only so that the nexus of nerves in the thing's helmetlike head would be destroyed, but also so that there would be a minimum of its acid blood spilled.-Chpt.13 pg.443
