Chapter 25 Extraordinary Creatures
"boom!"
In the abandoned zoo, there was a loud explosion, and a figure in the darkness seemed to have suffered a terrible attack. It flew backwards, crushing the weeds and shrubs along the way, and fell heavily on a thick concrete wall covered with moss.
The powerful impact caused the wall to crack directly.
"Wow!"
Qin Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, and her whole body instantly weakened, with her pair of blue vertical pupils filled with bloodshot.
"Wow!"
The strange baby cry sounded again, the sound echoed in the darkness, erratic, sometimes far away, sometimes close, and sometimes behind you, making people feel creepy.
Qin Qing's vertical pupils spun rapidly, trying to lock onto the location of the evil creature in the darkness, but she failed every time. She could only occasionally catch a glimpse of a strange human-shaped figure passing by in her peripheral vision.
"In front? On the right? No, that's not right. On the left."
suddenly.
The strange human-shaped figure rushed out from the darkness and attacked again at an incredible speed. Although Qin Qing had locked onto it, she only saw a few afterimages in her eyes.
This is because the movement speed is too fast and the visual field cannot capture it accurately.
Even the evolved vertical pupils could not capture this figure. Obviously, the monster was stronger than Qin Qing now. If she was not careful, she would die in an instant.
"court death."
Suddenly, Yang Yilong's angry roar echoed, white rainbows appeared around, and the darkness was instantly dispersed. He rushed out from another direction, trying to kill the beast in the middle before Qin Qing was attacked.
The strange human-shaped figure seemed to smell a hint of danger and gave up the opportunity to kill Qin Qing. It stopped in an incredible way in the middle of the journey, then changed its route, disappeared quickly, and merged into the surrounding darkness again.
“Wow~!”
The baby-like crying sound rang out again, still echoing around.
Yang Yilong stopped in front of Qin Qing at this moment, watching the ferocious creature hide, his face showing a bit of anger. His current state was extremely strange, his hair and clothes seemed to be affected by static electricity, floating slowly, his eyes were emitting white light, and on his right arm, there was a terrible aura entwined.
The surrounding fallen leaves and weeds came close and were instantly crushed into powder.
Under the floating dust, it seemed that the outline of an invisible sword vaguely appeared on his arm.
"Compared to last time, this thing has become stronger, its growth rate has exceeded our cultivation speed, and it has become more cunning. It knows that it is no match for you, so it has been attacking me, wanting to kill me first and then fight with you." Qin Qing coughed weakly twice, and she stood up again.
Although she could still move, she had lost her ability to fight and could barely protect herself.
"Yang Yilong, retreat. The energy in your body is being consumed rapidly. That 'sword' cannot last long. Once the power is exhausted, we will all die here." Qin Qing said while looking at Yang Yilong's right hand.
In her sight.
A certain energy in Yang Yilong's right hand converged and condensed in a special trajectory. This thing was invisible to the naked eye, but it was extremely bright in her vision. The condensed energy was like a sharp sword, as if it could tear apart anything in reality.
"If I were weaker than that thing, I could accept failure, but now I have the strength to kill it. If it still runs away, it means that I, Yang Yilong, am just a waste of resources. I'm sorry, Qin Qing, for dragging you down this time. I was thinking that I would give you half of it after hunting it down to thank you for saving my life last time, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
Qin Qing said, "It's not your fault. After suffering a little loss last time, that thing has changed a lot, and its growth this time has completely made up for its previous shortcomings. Before, I could rely on my agility, excellent dynamic vision and reaction to deal with it, but this time, it crushed me in all aspects."
"I can see that this thing is extremely intelligent and has a strong learning ability. If we can't kill it this time, we won't have any chance next time." Yang Yilong's eyes were firm: "So, Qin Qing, no matter what, let's fight again."
"If I really lose, I will die here with you."
Feeling Yang Yilong's determination, Qin Qing stopped trying to persuade him: "Since you are ready to fight to the death, there is nothing more to say. Hunt it and we will go back together."
"Okay." Yang Yilong nodded slightly.
"superior."
Qin Qing moved again, her body rising at an extremely fast speed, as if she was flying close to the ground. Her pair of green vertical pupils kept turning, and at this moment they were locked onto the strange cry like that of a baby in the darkness in the distance.
Yang Yilong also moved suddenly. He and Qin Qing surrounded and attacked from the left and right.
The sound of a baby crying echoed again.
The humanoid monster sensed the murderous intent of the two people and smelled the danger, so it did not choose to confront them head-on, but fled quickly, not giving Yang Yilong and Qin Qing any chance. Moreover, it intentionally controlled the distance while fleeing, so that the distance was not enough for the opponent to catch up, and it could also turn around and kill in time.
Obviously, this humanoid monster had no intention of letting Yang Yilong and Qin Qing go, and wanted to kill these two evil prisoners here.
Perhaps in the eyes of this monster, Yang Yilong's growth rate is also too fast. It clearly had a chance to kill him last time, but after a while, the monster itself was almost killed. If it fails to kill Yang Yilong today and allows him to continue growing, it will be in danger itself.
Each of them wanted to kill the other, and the fight was still going on and had not yet ended.
"It's not an illusion. My eyes have already locked onto that thing. Did it deliberately slow down to lure me in so that it can kill me? Or has its speed decreased?"
Qin Qing and Yang Yilong teamed up to surround and kill the thing for a while, but did not achieve any results. However, at this time she discovered that the thing's movement became slower.
"No, it's not slowing down on purpose. Its strength is beginning to decline just like ours, so I can catch its sight. This is an opportunity. Being locked by my vertical pupils means I have a chance to hunt it down."
Then Qin Qing glanced at Yang Yilong.
Yang Yilong was panting at this moment, and the bright light on his right hand had dimmed a lot and was about to go out, but he still tried hard to maintain it, because once this "sword" went out, there was no way he could condense it again today, and by then the two of them might really be killed by the beast.
"Is there still a chance to take action?" Yang Yilong seemed to have noticed Qin Qing's gaze, and he looked over.
The two people looked at each other, and it seemed that they understood each other's thoughts.
Qin Qing nodded slightly.
Yang Yilong's eyes hesitated for a moment, but soon became firm.
The next moment, Qin Qing's speed increased suddenly, and the little energy left in her body was consumed crazily.
She wanted to squeeze out her last bit of strength to give Yang Yilong a chance to attack.
In the darkness, Qin Qing's figure suddenly passed by like a white rainbow. In just a blink of an eye, she had caught up with the figure of the ferocious creature and even surpassed it.
"Wow~!"
There were cries of surprise, screams and cries.
The humanoid monster did not seem to have anticipated such a situation. It had been controlling the distance, which resulted in the opportunity being seized when its physical strength was weakened.
But when it saw that it was Qin Qing who attacked, the humanoid monster started roaring and immediately stretched out a hairy humanoid arm. What was strange was that the arm did not have a human hand, but a wild beast's hoof.
The hooves glowed and formed a circular mark, which could be seen with the naked eye even without the medium's help.
"Qin Qing, move away." Yang Yilong had a bad feeling at this moment and shouted suddenly.
But it was too late.
The fight at this speed is completed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Qing's figure and the figure of the humanoid monster overlapped briefly at this moment, but suddenly the two figures separated quickly. Then, Qin Qing's figure flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, blood splattered in the air, and the air was instantly filled with a strong smell of blood.
The humanoid monster merely paused for a moment and took a few steps back, but did not suffer any serious damage.
However, Qin Qing's desperate attack was not to hunt it, but just to stop it and create an opportunity for Yang Yilong to take action.
"die!"
Yang Yilong's eyes lit up, and he came forward like a god. A sword-shaped outline suddenly appeared on his right arm, and he slashed towards the humanoid monster at an extremely fast speed.
Sensing the danger of death.
The evil creature let out a sharp cry like a baby, then turned its head away.
But it was too late.
The surrounding light suddenly brightened, and an invisible sword had already slashed across its body.
And under this brief illumination, the true appearance of this ferocious creature was revealed.
It was a monster with a human body but a goat-like head. Its appearance was close to the image of the devil in Western legends, but slightly different because the monster had hideous fangs in its mouth, and was bloodthirsty and cruel.
Obviously, this is an unknown supernatural creature.
But at this moment.
This extraordinary creature was broken in half, and blood gushed out from the broken part, spilling all over the ground.
But even after being chopped off, the beast was still not dead. It was still alive. Its hooves, which looked like human arms, exerted force to support its upper body as it pounced towards Yang Yilong.
However, such a counterattack was of no avail.
Yang Yilong was still furious, and he immediately raised his right arm and swung it down.
The monster's head was instantly split in half.
Under such a deadly attack, the life of the extraordinary creature began to fade rapidly, but even when it was about to die, the head that was split in two was still wriggling on the ground and making strange whimpering sounds.
"Qin Qing, how are you?"
Yang Yilong ignored the monster's struggle before death and ran straight to his teammates.
"I can't die. My lower body has no feeling." Qin Qing lay limply on the ground in a weird posture.
Yang Yilong hurriedly checked Qin Qing's injuries, but couldn't help but his expression changed slightly.
Qin Qing's back was covered in blood and flesh. Nearly half of her body was taken away by the beast's hooves, and her spine was shattered. If it weren't for the cultivator's strong vitality, she would have been fatal from such an injury.
"Several sections of your spine are broken. The injury is quite serious. Fortunately, your internal organs are fine. It doesn't matter. As long as you go back safely, you can be cured. It just costs a little more money. Don't worry, I will help you heal." Yang Yilong then quickly thought of various medical options in his mind, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Practitioners are evolving, and the world's medical system is also changing.
"That's good. We can't stay here anymore. The smell of blood will attract other evil creatures. Let's leave quickly." Qin Qing's face was a little pale, but still rational.
"it is good."
Yang Yilong nodded. He no longer had the strength to hunt other ferocious creatures. He had to evacuate here in time. Otherwise, if they encountered other dangers, neither of them would be able to leave the danger zone alive.
He quickly carried Qin Qing on his back, ready to pack up the body and leave.
But at the moment.
In the abandoned zoo shrouded in darkness, the roars and growls of various wild animals echoed.
"No, the monster's voice is conveying some kind of information to the surrounding beasts." Qin Qing reacted and saw that the monster with a sheep's head and a human body was still whimpering and felt something was wrong.
"I saw it too."
Yang Yilong understood and immediately killed the monster again to stop it from screaming. Then he packed up the body and quickly evacuated.
