Chapter 1979: Chapter 1337: The Beginning of the Mutation
“We will find out soon.”
“Huh?”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, both Shajuye and Teacher Shanyuan were startled, while Duanmu Huai held onto his entrenching tool, looking around. It was already late at night, and the entire campsite was pitch black. Although there were street lamps around, given the current circumstances, they clearly couldn’t be relied upon for illumination.
“Rustle… rustle…”
Soon, sounds erged from the bushes, indicating sothing was approaching. Duanmu Huai turned in that direction.
“Hide behind .”
“Ah, okay.”
Shajuye and Teacher Shanyuan quickly hid behind Duanmu Huai, and Duanmu Huai stared intently towards the bushes. At the sa ti, Shajuye suddenly frowned and covered her mouth.
“Ugh… it stinks…”
“Really, what is that sll…?”
Teacher Shanyuan had a look of disgust, while Duanmu Huai’s expression turned slightly serious, because he could confirm that this sll was the sa odor he sensed before encountering the bear earlier on the mountain!
“Roar—————!!”
At that mont, a giant black bear suddenly lunged from the bushes, charging towards Duanmu Huai!
This scene was a replay of the dayti event, except this ti, the massive shadow didn’t stop. On the contrary, it fearlessly swung its paw towards Duanmu Huai’s head!
“Get lost!”
Faced with just a black bear, Duanmu Huai wouldn’t even take it seriously. He let out a roar, raised his entrenching tool high, and then smashed it down onto the black bear’s head with force—————!
“Squelch.”
The next mont, the entrenching tool directly crushed the black bear’s head, sending it flying. The headless corpse of the giant black bear collapsed heavily on the ground, twitched a few tis, and then stopped moving.
“No way…?”
Hiding behind Duanmu Huai, Teacher Shanyuan widened his eyes, incredulous, as he peeked his head out to witness the scene before him. Although Duanmu Huai’s physique could convince soone he killed a bear at ten, it was just a taphor, not that he could really kill a bear!
And now, Duanmu Huai had indeed killed a bear right in front of them, barehanded—well, with a shovel?
Even Shajuye was stunned. Even if the system had infused her with knowledge about Duanmu Huai, there’s a difference between knowing and seeing with your own eyes!
“Hmm?”
Unlike the other two, Duanmu Huai frowned in confusion as he studied the corpse in front of him.
In fact, when Duanmu Huai swung the entrenching tool earlier, he noticed sothing.
The sensation wasn’t right.
Dealing with this black bear, Duanmu Huai used the shovel to strike it. Logically, he should have felt the weighty muscles and hard skull of the black bear from the shovel—given that black bears have tough skin and flesh, and a regular handgun wouldn’t penetrate unless aid at the eyes like in movies or during a mouth-open shot.
Even with Duanmu Huai’s imnse strength, he should feel sothing akin to a cracked eggshell.
Yet earlier, when Duanmu Huai swung his tool, it felt like hitting a sponge or cake, with no resistance, and the softness was quite nauseating.
“Really strange…”
Duanmu Huai stepped forward and illuminated the black bear’s corpse with the headlamp. He saw that the bear’s head was completely shattered, and its body looked deflated like a balloon that lost air—frankly, resembling a bear skin balloon after deflating.
“It’s already… dead, right?”
Shajuye cautiously poked her head out from behind Duanmu Huai and asked in a low voice.
“It’s definitely dead, but… hmm… this ti, it didn’t run away.”
“Maybe because it’s too dark, it didn’t see you, brother?”
“I don’t think that’s it.”
Duanmu Huai silently glanced at the system panel, which didn’t show any notifications.
“Hey, look!!”
At that mont, Teacher Shanyuan suddenly shouted, pointing at the bear. The two focused their gaze, and unexpectedly, under the light, the bear’s body began to rot rapidly, lting, and in a mont, it turned into a puddle of black sludge-like substance, then disappeared into the ground.
“Eek—————what, what is this?”
Seeing this, Shajuye scread, while Teacher Shanyuan turned pale. Only Duanmu Huai remained calm.
Hmm… clearly, this wasn’t a normal phenonon.
Could this be the work of the Evil God?
Or perhaps the earthquake is related to the Evil God too?
If so… it solves the problem!
Duanmu Huai felt relieved.
Exactly, this is how it should be. Normally, investigators have to preemptively check and stop the Evil God’s or cultists’ sches, but Duanmu Huai doesn’t need to. Just summon it, and I’ll crush it in front of you. There’s no such thing as preventive asures! Just ask, and I’ll beat you until you’re dead! If you dare to summon, do it—I’ll smash it to death, or I lose!
“Seems like sothing’s off here.”
Although eager to rush in and tear through the opponents, Duanmu Huai still turned to the two.
“Why not head back to the car first, and I’ll go take a look.”
