Chapter 65 Taking the Initiative
The monsters, having completely ripped off their disguises, pounced on the group of young men and women inside the guesthouse.
The nearly two-meter-tall behemoth hunting these panicked ordinary people is like a tiger among sheep.
In a single encounter, several people were pulled into their outstretched arms, a seemingly intimate gesture that actually concealed deadly intent.
The overwhelming force prevented the prey from escaping. Thick membrane wings easily wrapped around and secured their bodies, and then the bone teeth and tentacles that unfolded inside the chest cavity began to work together to hollow out these people's internal organs, and blood gushed out.
They use this method to create bodies that help them disguise themselves as humans.
Wails and screams echoed across the dance floor, mingling with the rock music still playing from the speakers, creating a frenzied melody.
Amidst the chaos, Yu Jing stood alone in the center of the dance floor.
As the prey designated by the leader, the other monsters unanimously ignored his presence.
Lina, now fully transformed into a monster, tilted her head back and inhaled the pervasive stench of blood. Her hideous skeletal face flushed with an excited dark red, her eyes fixed on Yu Jing, her membranous wings trembling, and foul-smelling saliva dripping from her mouthparts.
She craved this vibrant body so much that she didn't want to wait even half a second longer. She took two steps forward, pushed off the ground with both legs, and leaped into the air. Spreading her arms and the membrane wings around her waist, she glided towards Yu Jing in a low-altitude manner, as if she wanted to strangle him in her arms.
Facing the menacing monster, Yu Jing, who had just witnessed the tragic fate of others, was not about to give her the chance. As soon as the Rain Demon took flight, he turned around and ran towards the window on one side of the room without saying a word.
She blocked the way to the gate, but there was no space by the window.
How could the prey that was almost within reach escape? Without a second thought, the Rain Demon changed direction and closed in on Yu Jing from behind again in the blink of an eye. Its long, narrow arms stretched forward, and its dark claws reached for Yu Jing's neck, while the tentacles in its maw on its chest thrashed wildly.
At the critical moment, Yu Jing finally ran to the window.
However, instead of jumping out of the window to escape as Rain Demon had anticipated, he suddenly bent down and lowered his head as he approached the windowsill. Immediately afterward, two figures appeared outside the window and were reflected on the glass.
The prey right before its eyes completely captured the Rain Demon's attention.
When it realized something was wrong, it was too late to stop and turn around.
Clang!
The window shattered instantly, revealing the Blue Demon holding a sniper rifle and the mercenaries wielding fully automatic rifles outside.
They came over immediately after receiving Yu Jing's message.
Instead of rushing in directly, they lay in ambush outside the window, waiting for this very moment!
It can only be said that these alien monsters are still lacking when it comes to using their brains.
Knowing in advance where the two were lying in ambush, Yu Jing deliberately created an opening, and the guy eagerly followed and walked into the trap.
Gunshots rang out like popping beans, and Rain Demon seemed to have willingly offered himself up to be attacked.
Not only did they fail to catch Yu Jing, but the two of them seized the opportunity and dealt him a heavy blow.
In order to inflict sufficient damage on the Rain Demon, the bullets in the Green Ghost and the Mercenary's gun were specially ordered high-powered armor-piercing rounds. Even though the Rain Demon was tough and thick-skinned, the continuous shooting at such close range still caused it to fly backward, covered in blood.
He frantically clawed at the floor to steady himself, but still managed to knock over several tables and chairs before finally stopping.
Kill it while it's sick!
Having successfully ambushed Yu Jing, Qing Gui and the mercenary stormed into the room without a word. The latter, carrying Yu Jing's backpack, tossed it to him before grabbing his gun and charging at the still-struggling Rain Demon with Qing Gui, intending to continue suppressing it.
However, a monster that could entangle with the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations for over a month was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
The Rain Demon, which had just been severely injured, reached out its claws and suffocated the girl hiding in the corner to its chest. It used its tentacles to devour flesh and blood to heal its injuries, while letting out a piercing shriek at the pursuing Green Demon and mercenaries.
The other rain demons, who were enjoying their prey nearby, received the order and abandoned the nearly empty human bodies in their arms, rushing from all directions to intercept the two, trying to kill them halfway.
The Green Demon and the mercenaries were forced to stop and engage in a fierce battle with the monsters.
Despite being armed, they were still just ordinary people. Their strength and speed were no match for these inhuman monsters, and they were outnumbered. Once their magazines ran out, they would inevitably be surrounded.
Fortunately, both of them had extensive experience exploring foreign lands, and had recently been surrounded and killed by skeletons multiple times in the ancient castle ruins.
Since they dared to rush into the guesthouse, they must have made preparations in advance.
Humans have been able to ascend to the throne of the most intelligent species through thousands of years of evolution, not because of their physical strength.
The key lies in a clever mind and the flexible use of tools!
Using his sniper rifle, now out of ammo, as a fire poker, he stopped the nearest monster. The Blue Demon somersaulted in mid-air to dodge another gliding monster, and when he landed, the transformable longbow was already in his hand.
The bowstring trembled slightly, and two arrows shot out one after the other, piercing the monster's neck and chest.
The next second, a red light flashed at the arrow's location.
The explosive device installed inside the arrow was immediately activated, blowing it apart from its body.
On the other hand, the mercenaries returned to their combat mode within the ancient castle ruins, unfolding the mechanical shield mounted on their left arms, and replacing their right hand with a single-handed warhammer instead of a short-handled axe, charging straight towards the monster in front of them.
It's not wise to confront a monster head-on, but the moment the shield collided with the monster's claws, the monster seemed to be struck hard, its body trembling uncontrollably, leaving its defenses wide open.
The mercenary decisively swung his warhammer, and the black iron wristband on his right wrist immediately emitted a faint psionic light. A blurry energy enveloped the warhammer, and the moment it hit the monster's head, it exploded, smashing its skull as easily as cracking a watermelon.
The heavily armored skeleton had used this move to corner the mercenary, so after obtaining the Black Iron Bracers, the mercenary devoted almost all his spare energy to mastering this extraordinary piece of equipment as quickly as possible.
Therefore, he specifically replaced his usual short-handled axe with a one-handed warhammer.
It turns out that the Black Iron Bracers are a perfect match for the mercenary's fighting style, and with them on hand, the mercenary's combat power is greatly enhanced.
However, the number of monsters on site still exceeded their expectations.
Just as they took down the first two, more monsters filled the gaps, giving them no chance to maneuver.
The situation only changed fundamentally when Yu Jing joined the battlefield!
The combined boosts of "Savage Physique" and "Hard Bones" have already significantly enhanced his combat power compared to before. Now, with the rare-grade weapon Bone Sacrifice Short Sword in hand, when he's determined to fight, he's like a whirlwind sweeping in.
With a flash of cold light, he unleashed his enhanced power on any low-level monster that dared to block his path.
The sharpness of the Bone Sacrifice Short Sword was on full display at this moment.
Whether it's claws, arms, or even the harder chest and mouthparts, nothing can resist the blade for even a second longer!
Having completed his spiritual awakening, Yu Jing is no longer someone these low-level monsters can mess with.
