Chapter 23 The Escaped Monster
Li Yi and Zhang Gao followed Brother Tao deeper into the danger zone and were safe all the way.

But even so, Brother Tao led the two of them around three dangerous points and finally successfully stopped in front of an abandoned building.

"The address is correct. This is the point where we will be stationed. From now on, we will stay here for the next six hours."

Brother Tao took out his mobile phone, opened the map and compared it. After making sure there was no problem, he signaled to the two people behind him.

"Come on, follow me to the top floor."

"Is this building dangerous?" Li Yi asked.

"This building is at the edge of the extraordinary creature's territory. Other creatures in the danger zone don't dare to approach here, so it's safe for us. Yang Yilong and Qin Qing act faster than us. It took us twelve minutes to reach our destination, but they only need about five minutes to break into the center of this territory."

"Right now, that extraordinary creature has to deal with Yang Yilong and his men first, so it has no time to care about us little characters. We can evacuate after Yang Yilong succeeds in hunting, but before that, we must report any abnormalities we see around us."

"There are too many unknown things hidden in the danger zone. Yang Yilong invited us here because he was afraid that unknown things from other places would come closer and reap the benefits. Don't underestimate those things. Things that can stay in the danger zone for several years without disappearing are not simple."

As Brother Tao spoke, he groped his way into the building.

The building was well preserved and almost undamaged, except that it was covered in dust and there was no water or electricity. It was obvious that the evacuation was very urgent. When Li Yi walked in, he could even see a lot of abandoned important things, such as wallets, mobile phones, and car keys.

"There's still money in this wallet, can you believe it?"

Zhang Gao picked up an abandoned wallet and found that there were several hundred yuan in banknotes inside.

However, this old currency has been out of circulation after the Tianqing incident and its use is prohibited on the market, but it can be taken to the bank to exchange for new banknotes.

"If you don't mind the trouble, you can come to the dangerous area to scavenge. If you are lucky, you can pick up a lot of money, and even dig up some vaults left behind by wealthy families. In the past, many scavengers made a fortune in the abandoned city area, but those scavengers did not dare to enter the dangerous area, so there is a lot of wealth left in the dangerous area." Brother Tao said as he walked.

"It's too troublesome, let's just forget it." Zhang Gao thought about it, and finally shook his head and threw the old wallet away.

Although this idea is good, people who can enter the danger zone and survive will definitely not be short of that little money.

Moreover, employers would have asked practitioners to take away truly valuable items long ago. If they could not be taken away, then either the items were in a particularly dangerous area or the gain would be greater than the loss.

Due to power outage, the elevator in the building was out of service and the three people could only go to the top floor by stairs.

However, several of them had good physical strength, and they had no problem climbing more than twenty floors in one breath.

"Stop."

Sudden.

Brother Tao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and stopped at this floor.

Li Yi and Zhang Gao also stopped suddenly, and then their bodies tensed up instantly.

They sensed an unusual sense of nervousness from Brother Tao's tone.

Is there anything abnormal?
in the dark.

Li Yi's eyes turned slightly, trying to search for danger around him. Soon, his pupils shrank slightly. Even without activating the psychic, he could see the danger hidden in this floor.

But what is that thing?
A spider?
No, not a spider, that's a 'person'?
On one wall of this floor, there was a strange person lying on the ground. His skin was gray-black and he almost blended in with the surrounding environment. But what was horrifying was that he had no legs and had eight extremely long and thin arms on his body, with a palm on each arm.

The eight hands stuck to the wall like suction cups, making the humanoid creature lie there like a giant spider.

Zhang Gao, who was standing by, also saw it, and his breathing involuntarily became rapid.

How to do?
Should I ignore this monster or choose to kill it here?

Li Yi and Zhang Gao looked at Brother Tao.

At this time, Brother Tao has to make the decision because he is a psychic and is quite powerful.

Brother Tao's body was motionless at this moment, but his eyes were constantly looking at the Spider-man lying on the wall, and he was thinking about his next move in his heart.

"I'm going to give it a try. This thing here is not conducive to our subsequent actions. Even if we can't kill it, we have to find a way to drive it away. You guys be careful." He quickly made a decision and said in a low voice.

"it is good."

Li Yi took a deep breath and prepared himself to respond.

Brother Tao no longer hesitated and quickly approached the strange spider-man on the wall.

When he got within a certain distance, the strange humanoid creature lying on the wall noticed it immediately. Its eight slender arms suddenly moved, and then its body quickly moved to the wall next to it for about four or five meters before stopping briefly.

And at the moment when the strange humanoid creature stopped, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in the dark floor.

Witness!

This is a unique attack method used by practitioners who have activated their spiritual medium. Brother Tao seized the opportunity and chose to take action.

Although witnessing is almost useless to practitioners of the same level, it is a devastating blow to beings weaker than itself, and it is also a good means of trial.

"what!"

moment.

A sharp scream immediately echoed in the silent building. The sound was creepy, like that of a human, but also like that of a beast.

However, the sighting did not kill the humanoid monster, but instead angered the thing.

The next moment, the strange humanoid creature with eight arms moved quickly on the wall and quickly approached Li Yi and others.

“This is moving very fast.”

In just one or two seconds, the monster had moved to above Brother Tao's head, and then it stretched out its two slender arms, with the palms like sharp claws, waving them with incredible power, trying to tear Brother Tao in half.

"boom!"

The ground was stirred up with dust, and the hard concrete floor was torn into several hideous marks by the monster.

But Brother Tao was not slow either. While he was avoiding the attack, he had a black-coated machete in his hand. This knife was different from the common knives on the market. It seemed to be made of a special alloy. It was not only sharp but also very tough.

He moved just as quickly, the black blade slashing through the pitch-black environment, and it was impossible to see clearly where he attacked.

But then, the two arms of the spider-like humanoid monster broke into two in an instant, and strange juice gushed out in the darkness like fluorescent light, splashing everywhere.

After the attack was successful, Brother Tao seemed to gain confidence. He jumped up and tried to chop off the monster's head.

This monster seemed to have intelligence. After it reacted, it waved its remaining arms wildly trying to repel Brother Tao.

The sharp blade and the strange palm collided in mid-air, causing sparks to fly.

The attack failed, and Brother Tao retreated quickly, keeping a distance to prevent any accidents.

"This thing's nerve reaction speed is faster than mine. It can even block my knife. It's so scary." Brother Tao cursed in a low voice.

After losing its two arms, this Spider-Man-like monster seemed to realize that Brother Tao was not easy to mess with. It did not attack again, but retreated quickly along the wall at an astonishing speed.

"It's trying to escape." Zhang Gao said hurriedly.

Brother Tao looked serious, but did not take any action: "Let it go. This monster will not appear in this area again in a short time after suffering a loss. Since we didn't kill it just now, don't fight hard. It's not worth it."

He didn't want to stop it for fear of overturning the car.

After all, this trip is just to make money, not to risk your life.

In just three or four seconds, this humanoid monster drilled out of the broken window at an extremely fast speed, and then crawled quickly along the outer wall of the building outside. Soon, as the crawling sound gradually disappeared, it was confirmed that this thing was really escaping from here.

Seeing him leave, Li Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.

The speed at which that thing pounced on him just now was really terrifying, so fast that he could hardly react. Fortunately, Brother Tao had some advantages and drove it away, otherwise he would have to turn around and run away.

"It should be fine now."

Brother Tao did not let his guard down. He waited until there was completely no movement before he looked around again. Only after he was sure there was no danger did he slowly exhale.

"What on earth was that monster just now?"

Li Yi walked forward at this moment and took a look at the half arm that fell on the ground.

There is no doubt that it is a human arm, but the bone density and muscle strength of that arm far exceed those of ordinary people, and it is even stronger than that of a practitioner who has activated his psychic power.

"Who knows? Since the Skyfall incident, our world has seen many incomprehensible things. But no matter what it is, as long as it is not a creature from our world, it can be sold for money. Many research institutions are very interested in these things, and the prices they buy on the market are also very high. Even broken limbs can be sold for money."

Brother Tao put away the knife and took a closer look at the severed hand, but he couldn't tell what kind of creature it was. But in the end he still found a bag to put the severed arm away.

"Thank you so much, Brother Tao, otherwise we would have been in real danger." Zhang Gao hurriedly thanked him.

"No need to thank me. This thing is not particularly dangerous. I just wanted to try to kill it. Unfortunately, it escaped in the end." Brother Tao shook his head, a little disappointed.

In the danger zone, the things that a practitioner at the psychic level can hunt are very limited, so he can't say he's unlucky to have come across one.

Li Yi asked, "Brother Tao, excuse me, how did you judge the strength of this thing? Just now it lay on the wall motionless, like a piece of wood, and it was impossible to tell its strength."

“There are two methods, one is experience, the other is feeling.”

Brother Tao lit a cigarette and said slowly, "The skin color of this creature is gray-black, almost the same color as the surrounding walls. The closeness of its body color to the surrounding color means that it needs to use the environment to hide itself and protect itself from being discovered by other predators. Therefore, usually this kind of creature is not very strong, so this time it is an empirical analysis."

"So that's it."

After hearing this explanation, Li Yi suddenly felt that it made sense. At the same time, creatures such as chameleons and octopuses came to his mind.

Anything that needs to rely on the surrounding environment to hide itself cannot be particularly powerful.

Brother Tao then continued, "As for the feeling, it is actually inspiration. Practitioners at the Psychic Realm can open up their inspiration if they continue to practice. This kind of practitioner has very sharp five senses and can sense the strengths and weaknesses of other creatures, and better determine their position in the food chain. However, I haven't opened up my inspiration yet."

"Okay, let's stop talking and go to the rooftop. The fact that such a weak creature is hiding here proves that this place is safe. I believe we won't encounter any other dangers next time."

Having said that, he did not linger here any longer and continued walking up the stairs to the top floor.

However, after this incident, Li Yi's vigilance increased again.

Fortunately, this time there was an experienced psychic leading the way. If I had rashly entered the danger zone one day, I would have died without knowing how.

"It seems that I still need to study hard and continue to make progress."

At this moment, Li Yi only felt that he still had a lot to learn.
