Ge Yunhua gritted his teeth, placed Xu Kai on the ground, and his hands turned to the color of rock as he approached the monster.
This was his superpower, able to petrify parts of his body to increase hardness. It seed decent, but in practice, its effect was average.
Because it significantly reduced his speed and agility.
Many tis, it’s more useful to dodge than to withstand damage, and this superpower might put him in danger.
If they wanted to kill this monster, they had to stop it.
Ge Yunhua charged forward with his hands in a defensive stance, confronting the rapidly charging "giant horse" as his heart pounded.
He didn’t know where he found such courage, nor did he have ti for excessive thinking.
Bang~
A loud crashing sound.
Ge Yunhua was sent flying, losing an arm in the process, but the monster stopped accordingly.
Jie Chuan took the opportunity to fire the "shotgun" wildly at it, bullets pouring into the flesh, erupting in a mist of blood.
Dozens of others joined in with their guns, but their weapons were less effective, as ordinary weapons weren’t powerful enough, designed more for ordinary people.
A burly man wearing a vest and exposing his chest charged forward with an axe, but was instantly pierced through the chest by the horse’s hoof, dying on the spot.
Seeing this, those initially intending to approach hesitated to get closer.
The monster roared, targeting Jie Chuan as the biggest threat, and charged again, opening its huge horse mouth to reveal jagged fangs and a face resembling a baby’s.
It seed like its tongue had grown into this shape.
"It should be about enough."
Seeing this, Jie Chuan tossed aside the shotgun and drew a dark, gear-shaped dagger, stabbing it into his thigh.
As the sound of cutting flesh echoed, one of the monster’s horse legs inexplicably severed, falling to the ground.
[Self-Harming Dagger (Upper Rank of C): A dagger imbued with curse power, inflicts tenfold damage back to the opponent when self-hard.
Prerequisite: Must inflict a sufficient number of damages.
Usage count: 1/3]
"It’s done!"
A smile appeared on Jie Chuan’s face, but then his expression froze.
The monster’s back tentacles ford two slender hands crawling rapidly toward him, their palms hitting the ground with a loud noise.
"Die for !"
Jie Chuan imdiately raised the dagger, aiming for his own heart, a crazed look on his face.
He intended to perish with the monster!
The dagger could be used three tis; he had used it once already.
He had always thought he must not die by this dagger; perishing together was a foolish act.
However, now he found this kind of death particularly impressive, at least not cowardly.
He hated cowardly people, and people who didn’t repay debts.
The horse-like monster seed to crash into sothing, its body suddenly paused, its chest punctured with a large hole, emitting a terrible scream.
······
Through the dark fog, Su Changxing noticed sothing amiss in the distant sky, rain was falling, and there appeared clusters of stars.
It was the first ti he’d seen such clusters, bright and dense, as if viewing the sky from another world.
"West Bridge City direction? Xu Kai and they are there too."
He decided to go take a look, thinking the change might be related to the Wizard World.
It wasn’t a short distance, but he moved at full speed, taking over an hour to arrive, only to find no living people in the town, just so living corpses.
"Dead? No, Xu Kai is still alive."
Su Changxing could still feel the connection from the Guide Pendant, indicating Xu Kai was at least not dead.
More bizarre was that not only were there no survivors in the town, but even the number of living creatures was scant, except for······
An invigorating whinnying sound of a horse rang out.
He saw a misshapen monster stick its head out from the ruins.
It had a horse’s head, but the end connected to two inverted human heads.
Su Changxing had so impression of those two people; they were part of the group, with pitch-black eyes and gentle smiles, as if greeting Su Changxing.
"Greetings, sir, why are you here?"
"Haha, many people died, what do you think we should do?"
"I’m so hungry, is there anything to eat?"
······
"What the hell?"
Su Changxing’s expression hardened, disgust washing over him as he sensed the presence of the wizards.
The monster bore a scent similar to those wizards, and its strength seed above Tier Seven.
Then the monster stood up, revealing its full form, its massive horse body ruptured with a large hole, densely packed with wriggling tentacles.
It charged at Su Changxing, its two hooves running on the ground upright, looking extrely comical, like a circus bear performing.
"Not a bad performance."
Su Changxing laughed out loud, neither dodging nor evading, and when it got close, he drew his revolver and fired, the bullet transforming into a silver light that pierced its body and exploded.
Boom~
A roar resounded.
The entire horse head and upper body exploded, the fragnts of corpses still writhing with vitality on the ground, very much akin to the bodies of those wizards.
The monster still didn’t die, its back tentacles expanding towards Su Changxing.
Su Changxing’s attack was extrely powerful, and with another shot, he shattered the rest of its body, leaving only writhing pieces scattered on the ground.
[Flesh full of vitality: Be careful, it might eat you!]
He looked at the fragnted remains and snapped his fingers, causing a silhouette to appear beside him.
Tao Yi’s body looked more solid, indistinguishable from normal humans at a glance, her face adorned with crimson glowing lines, giving her an exceptionally eerie appearance.
Her eyes were sharper, observing her surroundings, clinging to Su Changxing, seemingly wanting to say sothing but unable to speak.
Su Changxing grimaced slightly, uncomfortable with her gaze, and pushed her face away, disdainfully saying, "Don’t get so close, deal with these things on the ground."
This vigorous flesh was quite a tonic for the undead, as they lacked such vitality.
Tao Yi’s eyes flickered, showing a hint of grievance as she floated over, picking up the scattered corpses and consuming them one by one, purple blood dripping from the corners of her mouth, her eating manner lacking elegance.
"How’s the taste?" Su Changxing asked whimsically, yet suspecting the undead might not have conventional taste sensations.
Tao Yi’s face twisted into a ghostly smile, nodding to show her happiness, her mouth still biting a twitching tentacle, which looked incredibly horrifying.
However, Su Changxing, having weathered many storms, reacted indifferently, even feeling a bit hungry, as appetite was a universal sensation.
The change in Tao Yi occurred when he completed the Bloody hand Butcher’s task, and after he advanced, her transformation beca even more noticeable.
