The stench of corrosive odor struck Lin Xian, startling him. He cursed silently, "Damn, it’s an Alien spewing acid liquid?"
The three-headed Monster swiftly climbed down the wall and lunged at Lin Xian, its three heads continuously opening wide to spray at him.
Lin Xian instantly ducked into a corner of the alley, turning around to create an iron fence wall behind him.
Black Blood kept spraying from behind. The three-headed Monster, like a living spider, climbed over the iron fence wall Lin Xian created and rapidly pursued him.
The Monster moved extremely fast and could also spray from a distance. Fortunately, Lin Xian had chosen to navigate through these winding narrow alleys; had he been in an open area, he would have had to create an iron wall directly in front, which would have made him much more passive.
Around the corner, as the three-headed spider leaped out, Lin Xian was ready at the next corner lifting his gun and firing in guerilla fashion.
The hot bullets tore through, instantly ripping flesh off the three-headed spider, sending chunks flying everywhere.
Lin Xian turned and ran, picking up the walkie-talkie. Seeing the red light still on, he realized that the weirdness in this dark night must also have some kind of signal-blocking power. It seemed that the walkie-talkies behind needed to be modified with Mysterious Blood Essence too.
In the dark alleyways, Lin Xian suddenly yelled out loud.
The three-headed Monster rapidly closed in behind him. Lin Xian, without turning back, continually released various steel net iron walls behind him while simultaneously dropping tripwires and spike walls on the road.
The Monster behind was continually obstructed by various devices, seeming to also take some damage. Lin Xian’s methods thoroughly infuriated it; its spider-like legs sped up even more as it climbed high, rapidly closing in.
At that moment, Lin Xian saw the street exit ahead, where a towering silhouette on the second-floor balcony was poised to strike!
"Be careful! This thing can spray acid liquid from afar!"
He sprinted forward, warning at the same time.
The three-headed spider Monster closed in from the high wall, Black Blood continuously spraying from its mouth, landing behind Lin Xian and on the walls he passed, emitting a hair-raising corrosive sound.
Just as it closed in on Lin Xian, Lou Ye suddenly leaped out, wielding the Steel-cutting Greatsword. With a muffled shout, he swung the sword in a slash!
The three-headed spider Monster clearly did not anticipate Lou Ye’s appearance. The massive flash of cold light cut through, instantly severing two heads and chopping off a third of the last one.
In that moment, a huge amount of Black Blood erupted from the Monster’s body, splashing straight towards Lou Ye.
Anticipating this, Lin Xian, who had charged forth, quickly created an iron wall overhead, immediately blocking Lou Ye and the exploding Black Blood, then rolled to a farther spot with Lou Ye.
For efficiency, Lin Xian had used the thinnest sheet metal for the wall, just to block that momentary Black Blood.
In no time, the corrosive Black Blood ate through the thin wall, creating huge holes.
Lin Xian and Lou Ye rolled to their feet, unable to pause, both lifted their machine guns and sprayed a barrage of bullets at the spider Monster behind the sheet metal wall.
The firepower was fierce in the Dark Alley, the muzzle flashes nearly illuminating half the alley. Under a barrage of countless bullets, the remaining single head of the three-headed spider Monster emitted a series of miserable howls.
"Don’t let your guard down, empty your magazines!"
Lin Xian roared. This thing suddenly appearing overhead was truly bizarre, and no one knew if it had any tricks left. Now with the upper hand, both of them kept up the suppressive fire, giving no chance for the foe to recover.
Soon, Lin Xian ran out of bullets for his automatic rifle. Without a second word, he dropped the gun and raised both hands, gathering Wind Gun in his left and Electric Surge in his right!
Wind Gun penetrated, electric light exploded!
Facing the oddities in the darkness, hold no hesitation; if something has three heads, who knows if it has three lives?!
Lin Xian and Building continuously shot for over a minute, only stopping when the magazine in Building’s machine gun was completely empty.
The sound of gunfire echoed continually in the narrow, open alley.
Both were gasping for breath. Seeing that the shadow on the ground ceased all movement, Lin Xian took out a flashlight and shone it towards it.
Not far ahead, the three-headed spider monster had almost been reduced to a pile of mush, with Lin Xian’s thin iron sheet on top making a sizzling corroding noise.
Black blood had flowed all over, quickly engulfing and consuming the iron sheet, causing one’s brows to furrow.
Taking a glance, the gunfire had drawn the attention of numerous zombies.
Without hesitation, Lin Xian covered his mouth and nose and stepped forward to investigate.
At that moment, a visibly black mist appeared in the beam of the flashlight, causing Lin Xian to feel delighted, as the rustling cries began to sound beside his ears.
Sure enough, a cherry-red pearl appeared on the ground where the black mist had gathered.
This bead was the same size as the one acquired from the bonfire trade. Fearing it was contaminated with corrosive black blood, Lin Xian conjured a metal long-handled clamp and a simple iron box from thin air, picked up the Mysterious Blood Essence from the ground, and then remarked,
"This thing is really troublesome."
The situation just now was truly perilous!
Lin Xian looked at the black blood on the ground, frowned, and moved backward. This substance could cling to you, causing severe damage or even corrosion to steel.
A pungent smell hit him at that moment. Lin Xian accidentally inhaled a bit, immediately feeling a heaviness in his head as his internal organs felt like they were in turmoil, nearly causing him to retch.
"Quick, get away from here!"
Lin Xian signaled to Building and without any delay, the two scrambled into the off-road vehicle amidst the shrieking of the zombies and roared towards the outskirts of the city.
The engine roared, the lights from the off-road vehicle continually swallowed by the darkness ahead.
"These Abnormal Bodies are too bizarre..."
On the passenger side, Lin Xian opened the iron box, looked at the Mysterious Blood Essence inside, and said with a grim expression,
"They seem to sense our presence, sometimes appearing closest to you."
Initially, he thought that there might be some sort of nest in the darkness that these strange monsters emerged from at night.
But strangely enough, during the day, no nests could be seen. They just mysteriously appeared before Lin Xian.
Several times, if Lin Xian hadn’t reacted quickly, he would have already met King Yan.
"Can they Instant Teleport?" Building, driving, asked somewhat apprehensively.
"How could I possibly escape if they could Instant Teleport?" Lin Xian shook his head, "It’s just that these things appear too unusually every time, without any signs, not even footsteps."
"It’s like these things... are always right beside you."
Uttering these words, Lin Xian suddenly felt a chilling sensation. His gaze swept over Building, but in the corner of his eye, he seemed to notice an inexplicable flash of red, then immediately looked into the rearview mirror.
In the rearview mirror, a woman dressed in Red Clothes, with her hair disheveled, unsettlingly sat in the middle of the back seat, her entire face obscured by dark shadows.
Lin Xian was startled and quickly turned around, only to find nothing in the back seat.
Building noticed his unusual behavior and also looked into the rearview mirror.
"What’s wrong, Brother Xian?"
Lin Xian looked at the empty back seat, his expression grave, "Something’s not right."
At that moment, a strange electrical noise sounded.
The walkie-talkie in Lin Xian’s hand suddenly started making noise, though Lin Xian hadn’t pressed any buttons. The interior of the car instantly fell silent, both their gazes simultaneously fixed on the walkie-talkie.
"Sizzle... sizzle..."
"Happy... sizzle... happy..."
"Sizzle... happy... birth... day... to... you..."
From the walkie-talkie, a raspy, eerie humming emerged.
