Going up to the second floor, there was still no sound, but Luke clearly found human blood and trails on the ground.

At the same time, there was a faint and somewhat familiar beast-like fishy smell lingering on the tip of the nose.

Before he could take a look at the room on the second floor, two gunshots suddenly rang out from the upper floors, as if someone was fighting monsters.

Luke took three steps and two steps, stepped three or four steps in one step, and rushed upwards at the same time, raising his vigilance to the highest level, [Spider Sense] on guard against monsters that could appear at any time.

As the distance closed, Luke's ears moved slightly, as if he heard loud roars and injured moans from upstairs.

He sped up, and the crows beside him stopped exploring the specific rooms on each floor, and rushed straight up from the space in the middle of the spiral staircase, leading Luke to the top seven floors.

The crow's vision was shared in Luke's mind in time.

There were three and a half policemen on the field, two of whom were standing Abu and a strange officer.

One was lying on the ground, apparently Joseph, with a huge wound in his abdomen, and was lying on the ground moaning dying.

And half in the monster's mouth.

A huge, scrawny monster was munching on half of the cop in its mouth as it tried to grab another piece of food.

With trembling hands, Abu swapped out his magazines and continued to shoot at the monster.

The monster on the opposite side remained motionless, allowing him to hit, and its body did not react, and continued to tear at half of the corpse with the sharp claws on its fingers, greedily devouring it.

It seems that these people on the field can survive, not because of the weapons in their hands, but because the monster can't open its mouth for a while, and has no time to eat them.

At this time, Luke also recognized the identity of the monster - a giant Wendigo.

The old opponent is weak, and the dish is forced.

Luke lifted his [Death Roar] and injected psionic energy, activated [Shapeshift], and quietly swapped places with the crow that flew behind Wendigo.

As soon as he arrived, he immediately pulled the trigger without waiting for Wendigo to react, and the alloy projectile with the high temperature of thunder and flames evenly covered the back of Wendigo's heart.

The scorching and impactful force of psionic energy caused Wendigo to stumble and nearly fall to the ground.

But it was just a stumble, very different from the scene Luke imagined with a shot in seconds.

Luke realizes that something is wrong.

He continued to pull the lever and pull the trigger in succession, firing down Wendigo while using his identification abilities.

Sure enough, not your average Wendigo.

【Wendigo】/【Gluttony】

The monsters who were corrupted by the original sin of gluttony gained power beyond the limit through the original sin.

【Cannibalism (Enhanced)】You can gain great strength by eating humans, and the more you eat, the stronger your physical body becomes.

[Dark Night] (omitted)

Endless Appetite shares with enemies hunger that you will never get enough to eat.

This Wendigo didn't know how many humans it had eaten, and the flesh that could have been easily destroyed by mortal fire had eaten the [Death Roar] five consecutive shots that Luke emptied the magazine, and his back and chest were charred black, and he still maintained a standing posture, and it didn't seem that the injuries were too serious.

Luke hung the shotgun to his side, took out the staff, and the psionic energy was intensely output, and the golden orange flames on the [Mourning Crow] rose and burned. In the heat, the hot air distorted the scene around the staff, even making it look like it was shaking in the water.

The shotgun suppression was interrupted, and Wendigo, who was in pain, immediately launched a counterattack.

It kicked the ground with its hind limbs, its arms flailing violently, its claws glittering with cold light, like a sharp sword, and headed straight for Luke.

Luke raised his staff in his hand and was about to attack.

Suddenly, a strong feeling of hunger welled up in my stomach, and it felt like a hungry beast roaring in my stomach, constantly biting at its internal organs, and the taste of an empty stomach was like a sharp knife mercilessly cutting every cell of the body, making people feel extremely uncomfortable and painful.

Everything in Luke's eyes became blurry, and there was only one thought in his mind: to find food. The intense hunger made him unable to concentrate, his mind became dull, and only an instinctive drive governed his actions.

Wendigo's sharp claws fell, and the [Spider Sense] sent out a strong danger signal, like a few steel needles piercing the brain in an instant.

The intense sense of crisis caused Luke to wake up from his hunger pangs in an instant, and he had no time to block, so he could only hurriedly switch places with a nearby crow to escape.

The crow that had been replaced by Luke didn't have time to blur, its claws had already slashed across its body, and the poor crow instantly split into several pieces, and Wendigo reached out and pinched some of them, stuffing them directly into his mouth.

The fear that provided energy in the crow's body turned into a puff of black smoke that could not be seen by ordinary people, and returned to Luke's body.

Luke, who had survived death, was a little more focused, but the endless hunger pangs still accompanied him.

Every breath becomes difficult, and the thirst in my mouth feels like a flame is burning, and my throat feels like it has been burned by fire.

He shook his head and swept around, not finding anything to eat.

Hunger was eating away at his body like a virus, and he looked at Joseph lying on the ground, the blood flowing from his body seemed to tempt Luke to take a bite.

Just drinking a mouthful of blood, not counting cannibalism, nothing.

Only food can make people feel peaceful, and whatever it is, as long as it fills the stomach, it is the best food.

A strong hunger pang drives the brain to explain to itself.

Luke shook his head vigorously, forcibly dispelled the thoughts in his head, and used [Shapeshift] again to evade Wendigo's pursuit.

This time there was a little more time, and the crow that had come from the transposition entered the void state for the first time, and Wendigo's claws seemed to be slicing through the air, and nothing came into contact.

It didn't seem to be very intelligent, and it swung angrily on the spot a few times, and when it saw that the crow was as untouchable as an illusion, it turned away, as if resentful of the damage Luke had caused it, and even the three Abu on the side ignored it and continued to chase after Luke.

Luke moved a little farther this time, and the first time he landed, he immediately ran the spiritual energy violently washed in his mind, and the overloaded energy stirred in his mind, and he involuntarily entered the [bullet time] state in an instant.

The super five senses brought by bullet time are secondary, the main thing is that a large amount of psionic energy is instantly overloaded, and the negative energy that invades Luke's consciousness is instantly expelled, and the hunger pang disappears without a trace.

With the physical fitness bonus brought by [Bullet Time], Luke adjusted his posture to meet the enemy in the blink of an eye, and did not hesitate to inject a large amount of spiritual energy into the [Mourning Crow], and the golden orange flame rose again, and gradually transformed towards blue.

Wendigo rushed to the front and struck down with a wave of her claws as she had done before.

Luke waved his staff in his hand.
