CHAPTER XXIII

The crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the silent space, making Xin Yuan hear it clearly even from a floor away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Xin Yuan raised his vigilance, for some reason, he had a hunch that it might have something to do with Xia Zhen and them.

He subconsciously quickened his pace, lightly avoided all kinds of debris lying on the ground, went up the floor, and soon approached the location where the gunshots came. At this time, in addition to the sound of fighting that began to become clear, a strange low roar also sounded from time to time, which made him feel very strange, could it be that there would be some fierce beasts mixed in here?

Walking through a company's office area, turning another wall, he saw both sides of the fight.

Not surprisingly, one of them is Xia Zhen, while the other is ...... A monster.

Overall, it was a big cat that looked like a male lion, but there was no lion with a cone-shaped sharp horn on its forehead, and there was only a thick nerve bundle similar to hair that shimmered red at the position of its mane, and the surface of the skin was covered with a layer of bright red mist, like a slimy flesh and blood, and when it moved, it would pull out afterimages behind it, which was terrifying and disgusting, and there was a kind of weird gorgeousness.

In Xin Yuan's perception, this monster has no normal indicators of life, such as heartbeat and breathing, just like a distorted phantom, and it should be a monster that only appears in nightmares.

The problem is that now it has come from a nightmare to reality, and it has targeted Xia Zhen and Xu Youran.

……

Sweat flowed from the forehead and snaked down the contours of the face, some of which were blocked by the crescent-like eyebrows, so they bent and slowly oozed from the edges of the eyebrows, flowing through the corners of the eyes, bringing a slight tingling sensation.

Although this feels very uncomfortable, Xia Zhen can't wipe it with his hands empty at this time, not for a second.

Now her attention was completely focused on the monster in front of her, and she couldn't separate a single cent from anything else.

At first, she was really startled by this weird-looking monster, but after she really started fighting, she found that the other party was actually not very strong, and there was no advantage in strength and agility, and the fangs and claws could be said to be a big threat to ordinary people, but for a person like her who had been trained in professional combat for a long time and had far more physical fitness and reflexes than ordinary people, it was not too difficult to deal with an opponent.

But there are two characteristics that make this monster an extremely difficult enemy. The first is its ability to ignore the terrain and move, walls and ceilings can be used as areas for it to move, which makes its attack and dodge completely three-dimensional, which is difficult for her to adapt to before she has experienced this combat style; The second is its recovery ability, normal punches and kicks can only temporarily repel it, and after the bullet hits, I see that the part it was hit bursts into a cloud of red mist, and it won't take long for the lost part to grow back, and it doesn't look like it's injured at all.

In this case, although Xia Zhen can repel the attacks of this monster again and again, he can't give a fatal blow, and can only take Xu Youran to fight and retreat, and he has not been able to completely ask for the entanglement of the monster, and his mental and physical strength has been continuously consumed in this process, and the situation he is facing is becoming more and more dangerous.

If she escaped with all her strength, she would have a great chance of getting rid of this monster, but with Xu Youran who was injured in her foot, there was no way, but she would not abandon Xu Youran no matter what, so this formed a dead knot.

Bang!

The monster let out a terrible howl, a thick red mist emerged from its back, and its body rolled several meters away, Xia Zhen took this opportunity to pull Xu Youran up, and quickly evacuated to the other side with her.

It's just that before she ran more than twenty meters, a low roar began to come from behind her, and she had already had several experiences, knowing that this monster had chased after her again, she sighed secretly in her heart, and was ready to put Xu Youran down and turn around to fight again.

At this moment, there was a flash of fire in front of her, and then a gunshot rang out, and Xia Zhen heard the sound of some kind of heavy falling and angry roar behind her, and then she saw the familiar figure that appeared around the corner in front of her.

"Xin Yuan!" Before Xia Zhen could speak, Xu Youran had already shouted out in surprise first.

"Come on." Xin Yuan didn't even look at them, his eyes were fixed on the figure of the monster struggling on the ground, not leaving for a moment, holding the pistol tightly with both hands, and assuming a standard shooting position.

"Don't stop, the two corners in front of you are the stairs, I'll block it for a while."

When Xia Zhen came to him, he said quickly. Xia Zhen gestured to him, and his footsteps kept jumping over the corner where he was, and continued to run towards the position he had pointed out.

"Be careful, we're waiting for you."

Xin Yuan nodded, and another bullet was fired, accurately breaking the monster's left forelimb, causing the monster that was originally standing to fall to the ground again.

Watching the obviously broken forelimb surge in a burst of red mist, it was like being pulled back by an invisible hand, and it took almost four or five seconds to recover again.

"Can't you die?"

Xin Yuan scolded secretly in his heart, he hates dealing with this kind of strange thing the most on earth, I really don't know which strange variety came out of the laboratory, how can normal creatures be like this?

If a more appropriate definition is used, Xin Yuan feels that this monster is more like a puppet, without any physical characteristics of a normal creature, but with the instinct and intelligence of a predator.

Xin Yuan had been watching it fight with Xia Zhen for a while before, and he already had a very in-depth understanding of its characteristics in all aspects, and he was prepared in his heart, and he had also thought of specific ways to deal with it.

He felt that the two girls behind him had gone away, so he took out a plasticine-like thing from his trouser pocket and put it on the wall next to him, and then turned around and chased after the two women, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the monster had climbed up, and chased after him angrily.

But just when the monster came to where Xin Yuan was just now, a violent explosion suddenly sounded, and the huge explosive force directly tore it apart, generating a wave of air that blew all kinds of objects in this original office area in all directions, and in the center of the explosion, the top collapsed directly, completely burying its shattered body, and the vibration sound could be felt even from a long distance.

Xin Yuan, who ran out of the explosion range, confirmed in his perception that the monster had been solidly buried under the ruins, and even if it could be repaired automatically, it could not completely violate the physical principle, and it would not be able to climb out in a short time.

This is Xin Yuanxin's ability to obtain runes-flares.

It can convert ordinary substances such as dirt, sand and gravel into unidentified substances similar to C4 explosives, and after installation, it will become a temporary mental node for him, which can roughly sense the situation within a few meters of the explosives within a distance of 50 meters and detonate them by mind control, which is better than remote control bombs. He can make three palm-sized bombs a day, which cannot be stored cumulatively, and must be used within two hours of being made, otherwise it will degenerate into the original substance and lose its explosive effect.
