222: Chapter 109 Gray Monster 222: Chapter 109 Gray Monster Hearing the noise behind her, Song Shuting was filled with alarm and doubt for a mont.
Although she had indeed yelled for help before, she also understood that at this ti, in this place, it was almost certain that no one would co to her rescue.
“What exactly is that?
Is it a person or a monster?
Is it here to save ?
No…
if it were a person, how could they dare to keep moving forward after seeing the monster in front of ?
Could it be that there’s more than one Scarecrow?”
The disturbance behind her grew louder, as if it were coming closer to her, and the girl’s face beca even more terrified, her palms soaked with sweat.
“I hear sothing behind , and I don’t know what it is, but it’s approaching , what should I do…”
She murmured softly, and her voice was heard clearly by the audience in the live streaming room.
Finally plucking up the courage, Song Shuting quickly turned her head to look behind her, wanting to see what was actually there.
In a fleeting glance, she saw a tall figure walking towards her from the shrouded night, which appeared to be a person, a man.
Then, when Song Shuting turned her head back, she was horrified to find that the Scarecrow in front of her had changed again; its left hand was now raised high, holding a rusted sickle in its palm.
“Don’t move.”
Behind her, a voice with a slight magnetic quality sounded.
Upon hearing this, Song Shuting seed to have found a lifeline, overwheld by the events of the night.
Wouldn’t any normal person in such a situation be unable to stay calm?
Yet the voice that had just spoken from behind her was so composed, as if already anticipating her current predicant.
It seed as if he were accustod to such horrifying and strange scenes, by no ans the reaction one would expect from an ordinary person.
At this realization, Song Shuting’s mind suddenly embraced a possibility, and her face turned ashen.
She started to shiver and tentatively asked,
“Are you…
Are you here to kill …
Is this monster…
sothing you created…”
Zhang Xiaoman was walking towards the girl in front of him; within the short distance of a few dozen ters, he had already guessed the situation with considerable accuracy.
Pondering how to safely rescue this young lady, he was caught off guard by her words, suddenly feeling speechless.
Do I really look like a villain?
“I am here to save you.”
To prevent her from doing anything unexpected, Zhang Xiaoman still spoke up to reassure her.
“Save, save ?”
After hearing the words from the person behind her, Song Shuting repeated them with a bit of a daze before her face lit up with joy, as if she saw a glimr of hope.
“Can you deal with this monster?”
She still found it hard to believe, but thinking of his calm and composed tone, the hope in her heart grew stronger, like clutching at the last straw to save her life.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t bother to explain further; he simply stopped behind Song Shuting and then cast a third-tier Star Guardian skill, summoning 4 gaze-clad, long-spear-carrying Star Guards.
The appearance of the Star Guards was silent, and for a mont, even the girl nearby didn’t notice them.
The conversation between the two was clearly heard by the audience in the live streaming room without missing a word, and the unexpected turn of events on the scene sparked much discussion among the viewers.
“What’s going on, who’s that person behind the host?
How can he be so calm?”
“I think I heard the voice of a great power, an unparalleled strong man has arrived at the battlefield.
That little monster will be annihilated in a minute, brothers, don’t worry!”
“What exactly is the identity of that person?
Demon Hunter?
Superpower User?
Spirit Exorcist?
The way he speaks, it seems like he’s used to dealing with these kinds of monsters, could it be that Transcendents really exist in the world?
I feel like my view of reality is shattered!”
“I really don’t know how so many people believe this.
It’s clearly fake, can’t you see?
It was a monster before, and now there are even Demon Hunters.
What’s next?
Are they going to exchange a bunch of tough talk and then each go ho?
Heh, if they really start fighting later on, I’ll eat my keyboard on the livestream tonight.”
“…”
Compared to the clutter in the live stream room, there was an eerie silence in the desolate field.
Zhang Xiaoman ordered a Star Guard to stay by his side as a guard, another stepped forward to protect the girl, and then he sent the remaining two Star Guards to approach the Scarecrow monster with their Long Spears, intending to attempt a direct kill of the target.
Only at this mont did Song Shuting’s field of view include the imposing figure of the Star Guards, a sight that nearly made her jaw drop in shock.
When on earth had these people appeared?
She hadn’t seen them at all.
When she had looked back just a mont ago, there had surely been only one person behind her!
The viewers in the live stream were also now witnessing the impressive Star Guards, setting the channel abuzz with speculations – so said they were Transcendents, others suggested they were cosplayers.
But Zhang Xiaoman wasn’t concerned about all that; in his eyes, this was just an ordinary Scarecrow, entirely made of wood and extrely fragile.
Moreover, having been exposed to the elents for years, the Scarecrow’s body was already rotten to the core, he believed that even an average person could easily destroy it, as long as they could overco the fear in their heart.
The only thing puzzling him was that, through his Spirit Detection Technique, the spot where the Scarecrow stood seed to harbor a spherical Dark Energy entity, as if it was controlling the body.
The two Star Guards sent to attack were already at the Scarecrow’s side, but the latter still maintained its original posture, showing no reaction whatsoever.
“Swoosh”, a flash of cold light passed, and a Star Guard fiercely struck, directly severing the arm that was raised with a sickle, eliminating the only thing that could be considered a threat.
“Huh?
That easy?”
Zhang Xiaoman raised an eyebrow, sowhat surprised as he looked at the arm that had fallen to the ground, feeling that it was all a bit too simple.
Then, without waiting for him to grasp the key point, the monster that had been motionless suddenly moved.
From where the left arm had been severed, a liquid-like grey-green arm suddenly extended from the body, solidifying into a real limb in a re breath, as if it had regrown a new arm!
The newly erged hand of the creature was like a huge hook claw, which swung fiercely to repel the two Star Guards in front of it and then, as if a switch had been activated, a series of transformations occurred on its body.
The Scarecrow’s originally rotten wooden body began to crack, and wisps of grey-green light erged from these fractures, with a new body seemingly growing from within and replacing the frail wooden husk.
Through the vision granted by his Spirit Detection Technique, Zhang Xiaoman could clearly see the spherical core begin to spread wildly, taking on the shape of the Scarecrow in short order.
And these new limbs and grey body were growing out of this core!
“So that’s it…”
Zhang Xiaoman now understood what the monster really was; this must be its true form.
Looking at the green monster that had shed its original shell before him, he suddenly found the scene hauntingly familiar, as if he had seen it sowhere before.
“Ete!?”
Suddenly, the creature he had encountered in Lin Sisi’s ho ca to his mind; which had also erged from a statue-like exterior, hadn’t it?
On the field, the Scarecrow had completely changed its appearance, not only was it taller than before, but its body was no longer the wood that crumbled upon touch.
Apart from the basic shape still connecting it to the original Scarecrow, the rest was utterly unrecognizable, and what stood before them now was a gray-green monster nearly 3 ters tall, radiating nace.
On its head, the last piece of cloth characteristic of the Scarecrow ripped apart, revealing a mouth filled with sharp teeth from which a guttural roar erged.
“Ete…
sa…
hiss!!!”
However, Zhang Xiaoman’s expression changed drastically, as he realized that, astonishingly, he understood what the monster was trying to say!
——Esa!
Death!
