Behind the bed of an abandoned red truck.

Jesse, who was hiding short, looked at the five companions guiltily, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't fallen out of love, I would have to ask everyone to go out on a road trip to relax, and I wouldn't have encountered such a terrible thing and almost killed you." ”

"Don't blame yourself, it's just a false alarm, no one is hurt." Evan grabbed his girlfriend Frances and kissed him heavily, and said with emotion, "It also made me realize that the people around me are precious, and this is a precious experience that is hard to buy." ”

"No, it's a nightmare." Carly's eyes flashed with a hint of pain of memory, and she snorted, "You haven't seen it, we accidentally broke into the hometown of this group of deformed people before, and what a horrible thing we saw, I have to go back to see a psychiatrist after the trip." ”

"How scary?"

A voice came from behind the car.

Everyone's hearts thumped, and they looked up to the slowly approaching figure, and the scene of his previous lightning-like slaughter of three freaks flashed uncontrollably, and he didn't look like a human with his agility.

And after such a brutal killing, he was strangely not stained with a drop of blood or dust, and his clothes were as clean as if he had just bought them from the mall.

The unusualness of this filled the air with the extreme oppression that preceded the storm, and the crowd was silent for a full ten seconds.

Chris opened his hands and walked over with a hearty smile to give Dean a hug, breaking the dead silence, "Man, you saved our lives, you're a rescuer sent by God." ”

"His name is Dean." Evan added gratefully and admiringly,

"How did you do it, just like the elven prince Legolas possessed." Sko stared at the bow and arrow behind his back and joked, "The bow and arrow shoot more accurately than a sniper rifle." ”

"I've been practicing for a few years... But don't worry, I'll only shoot at people who break the law and commit crimes, such as this freak who attacks passers-by in the mountains and forests. Dean glanced at everyone, "And you're not some heinous criminal. ”

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, and their eyes became more cordial when they looked at him.

Dean continued, "To get back to the point, what did you find in their old home? ”

"That place is hell!" Carly clasped her hands around her body and said in a trembling voice, "The one-story house is full of all kinds of messy debris, and it smells worse than the garbage den where the homeless live, and there is a special slaughterhouse in the house, and a huge pot. After the freaks caught the 'prey', they chopped it up and threw it into the pot to cook... And some of the prey was pickled... Wow..."

Scott hugged Carly and kissed her on the forehead.

Frans retched as she listened, and Evan turned blue at the thought of how he had almost been caught.

"There are such psychopathic freaks in the world." Chris muttered to himself, "From the pictures, the family is all deformed. ”

"Maybe it's because of their disgusting eating habits that they have become this inhuman." Jesse lamented, "But we were lucky, the freaks were out hunting when we stumbled into that house. By the way, we found a boy in the house covered in blood and breathing..."

"Boy?" Dean felt his temples throb twice and realized that this guy was the target of inspiration, "Tell me about him!" ”

Jesse's cold face melted with worry and sympathy, and he said softly, "It looks like I'm eighteen or nineteen years old, and my blonde hair reminds me of my uncle's son." He was chained in the kitchen, as if he was overly frightened and hurt, and did not answer a word. ”

"We wanted to escape with him, but we couldn't find the key to untie the chains, and after a few minutes of stalemate, the two freaks went home."

"We hid under the bed and waited for the freak to fall asleep before sneaking into this car graveyard." ”

"Evan was almost strangled to death by a freak, and you broke into the freak's lair again, and only I didn't experience the slightest risk." Frans muttered in surprise, "I'm luckiest." ”

"Who made you the prettiest." Evan made a joke.

"Guys, that's it, it's time to get down to business." Dean nodded, turned around and walked to the trailer on the side of the road, "Keep up, hurry back to the cabin to solve the last trouble, and rescue the boy." ”

"Wait, man, isn't this a self-defeating one?" Scott raised his hands and made a stopping motion, "It's better to drive this trailer out of the forest and call the police, and leave the rest to the police." ”

"Yes, it's safer and safer." Carly hurriedly nodded in response to her boyfriend,

Dean opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

"I'm not negotiating, either come with me now or stay in the forest."

This unquestionable cruel word landed.

Evan and his girlfriend looked at each other and squeezed into the co-pilot first, and Jesse picked up the bows and arrows and shotguns and hatchets left on the ground by the freaks, and distributed them to his companions, before boarding the cargo box at the back of the trailer.

The tattered trailer staggered down the path through the woods and began its journey back.

The group of people on the road whispered, but when their eyes turned to the back of the main driver, their tone would stop.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

The trailer drove out of the forest to a deserted yard surrounded by several broken cars, and in the center sat a simple house made of black thatch and wood.

The collision of the trailer wagons was so loud that it woke up the occupants of the house.

The two freaks, thinking that their companions had returned with a full load, cheerfully opened the door and welcomed them into the courtyard.

They still wore loose and dirty skirts and coats, but their bodies were noticeably more bloated than the previous four, their faces were wrinkled, their sparse hair was gray, and they had big bellies, and one of them had a noticeable bulge in his chest.

It should be the parents and elders of the four freaks before.

The two of them had good eyesight, and at a glance they saw a stranger in the driver's seat through the windshield of the car, and immediately let out a strange cry of horror and anger.

The man raised his shotgun and aimed it at the car, while the woman rushed straight at it with her teeth and claws swinging her hatchet, her deformed ugly face making a vicious look, as if she was going to dismantle everyone to pieces.

"They're coming!" Frans in the co-pilot screamed, reached to the side and pulled Dean's arm, "Hurry up, stop her!" ”

"God, help!" Carly yelled on the hopper.

"I've dealt with four freaks, shouldn't you do something too?" Dean shrugged helplessly, and used his telekinesis to lock on to the man who was pulling the shotgun in the distance, so that he couldn't pull the trigger in a hurry, "The weapon in your hand is not an ornament, shoot, shoot her!" ”

At Dean's urging, the female deformed man had already rushed to the front of the car, grinning and raising the hatchet to aim at the window glass for a burst of ping-pong splitting, and the glass slag was shattered and flying all over the sky.

The hatchet knife reached into the car window!

Frans huddled with her boyfriend behind her, and Evan hurriedly pulled out a headrest to block the sharp blade.

The firewood knife made a sound of breaking through the air, and the female deformity slashed several times without cutting the enemy, but the back of her hand was inexplicably hit several times, and she decisively pulled her hand and ran to the cargo bed behind the trailer, stretched out her arm and poked at the outermost Cally calf, and at the same time pulled the cargo bucket up and climbed up.

"Help me!" Carly jumped to the front of the car, lifted her feet, and jumped into Scott's arms, allowing him to pick up the princess.

Bang!

Jesse in the cargo bed finally couldn't hold back and pulled the trigger at the female deformity, and Chris struggled to swing the wood knife from top to bottom.

The female deformed was slashed in the neck, the carotid artery ruptured, blood splattered, and at the same time, she was shot in the chest, and the huge impact knocked her backwards two meters like a rhinoceros, and fell to the dirty ground, spitting out a mouthful of internal organ fragments.

The gushing blood quickly stained her clothes red, but as if she didn't feel pain, she sat up stubbornly and stretched out her arms, her ten fingers covered with black dirt opened and closed, as if to choke the slender necks of everyone.

Seeing this, Dean pushed the door and got out of the car, walked up and down in front of the female deformity, the axe blade in his hand rose and fell, and his round-eyed head rolled under the car.

Mastery +1, Combat Lv3 (399/400)

The old man, who was frantically fighting against the malfunctioning shotgun outside the hut, saw that the woman's neck had been chopped off, and screamed in despair and madness, and rushed over with an axe.

Dean stepped up to him, grabbed his right wrist with his axe with a lift of his left hand, snapped it off, and then kicked him in the lower abdomen with a lightning bolt, sending him flying backwards five meters away, and falling to the ground eating a mouth full of mud.

Don't wait for him to get up.

Dean rushed forward again, bent on his knees, his hands brushing his wrists, elbows, and ankles... At the joints, in the sound of clicking fractures, the old deformity was broken off the joints of its limbs and turned into a fish that jumped on the shore, roaring and struggling... He opened his mouth and tore at the air, and the shape was miserable.

"Come here!" Dean hooked his finger at the car and called the panicked six people to his side, his eyes flashing with a strange brilliance, and his tone revealed a kind of bewitching magic in the human heart, "You also know how this freak family treated other passing passengers before. Should he be punished and tortured before he dies? ”

The six nodded unconsciously.

Dean handed a hatchet knife into France's hand, "Give him a treat!" ”

The red-haired girl's petite body shook and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "No need, Dean, you can just solve him." ”

"Do you pity him? Did those captured travelers get mercy? Dean stared into the girl's eyes, "Think about it, if it weren't for me, what would happen to you?" ”

"They're going to grab you, put you on the board, chop you up... Throw it in..."

"Ahhh Frans screamed and slashed at the back of the deformed head, too little force to slash into the bone, only a trail of blood, the stinging sensation that made the deformity's struggle more intense.

Frances wailed timidly and threw herself into Evan's arms.

But Evan didn't have time to comfort his girlfriend, and the wood knife was handed to him again.

Dean persuaded, "No need to blame yourself, he wants to hurt you, and you are just protecting yourself." ”

"No need, man." Chris looked at the wailing deformity at his feet, and said sincerely, "Although this guy has done all the vicious things, he has lost the ability to resist, and he should not be tortured, give him a good time." ”

"Give him a knife, not even a percent of the torture they inflict on others, what kind of torture is it. After such a catastrophe, you still don't have the courage to fight back against the demons? ”

"Are you worthy of my salvation?"

Dean asked rhetorically, his gaze sweeping over his faces.

A tangled look appeared on everyone's faces, and then they obeyed his orders one by one.

Even the most timid Carly mustered up the courage to cut the deformity, then clutched her stomach and vomited.

Dean nodded slightly excitedly,

"This kind of pervert who tortures and kills innocent people can't be too painful to die."

Then he struck and snapped the deformed neck of the dying and struggling on the ground.

The pan was hot in his arms, and that exciting prompt finally flashed in front of his eyes-

Mastery +1, Combat lv3 (400/400)

Do you want to upgrade?

"You go into the house first, and I'll dispose of the corpse." Dean gave the order to the six and watched them enter the cabin, then summoned the "Shadow" to protect him, and turned his back in the direction of the cabin to confirm the upgrade.

……

Knock... Knock...

Dean heard the sound of his muscles vibrating.

Some kind of barrier is broken.

A terrifying "volcano" that had been buried deep in the body for many years completely erupted.

Scarlet, hot magma with infinite heat rushes along the veins, arteries and blood vessels, runs through the whole body, and pours into every corner of the body, skin, bones, fascia, internal organs... Every cell is completely transformed from the inside out!

His face turned strangely red like blood, and the pores of his cheeks, arms, and exposed skin were open in an irrepressible urge that rushed into the waist-deep grass beside him like a gust of wind.

violently tore off the clothes all over his body, revealing a muscular body, and there was no longer a barrier with nature!

In an instant, the impurities accumulated in his body over the past nineteen years turned into a pitch-black and dirty liquid gushing out from the pores of his body, and the sewage generally splashed on the surrounding grass, emitting a strong stench, which also dyed his whole body black.

In less than half a minute, the spurt of heat turned from pitch black to pure white, turning into wisps of white smoke, drifting down Dean's thighs, chest, abdomen, shoulders, neck, and hair, washing away the filthy and foul-smelling dirt on his body.

Finally, a majestic, solemn white-gold humanoid upper body silhouette was formed above his head.

The white gold in this silhouette overwhelmed the sunset in the sky, like a layer of white flame, constantly baking Dean's body.

The arms, thighs, chest, abdomen, and back, the muscles that were originally strong enough to explode and the inverted triangle muscles quickly shrank into streamlined, lean, well-proportioned muscles... There is a subtle metallic luster.

As soon as Dean opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with a new strong joy, as if he had shaken off his heavy burden, and his body had become more transparent, relaxed, comfortable, and full of mental and physical energy than ever before...

His mind moved, and the white-gold figure above his head poured down into his body, wrapping his legs, and he leaped upwards with a slight bend of his knees.

Without the help of any telekinesis, his body shot into the air like an arrow at a height of ten meters.

Then it fell heavily to the ground, and a deep pit appeared at his feet, and the white gold that wrapped his body completely retracted into his skin.

"Life energy? What a surprise, find a time to study it again. ”

……

Dean took out another black trench coat from the fantasy space and put it on his body, and walked into the cabin with a new look.

Dirty, crowded, rancid.

Stacked with CDs, keys, jewelry, and even car couches that have been removed from the car.

The walls and floors were covered with a thick layer of slimy dirt as if they had never been cleaned, and on the table was a plate of uneaten food, in which bones and nails that did not look like small animals could be seen.

On the wall hung a family portrait of a family of six deformed people, smiling warmly and happily, but now they were all in the shackles, about to go to hell.

In the innermost bathroom, a swollen corpse was soaking in the bath, and on the central table of the storage room on the right, a decomposing corpse with lost limbs was lying.

His round, cloudy eyes spoke of the pain and fear of death.

Dean shook his head and followed his strong instinct to the next door of the hall, where the crowd gathered around a young blonde man chained to a corner wearing only a pair of denim shorts, with well-defined features and an aggressive handsomeness.

Several arm-thick chains were tied to the limbs, neck, and waist.

He was covered in thick blood scabs, and his image was extremely terrifying, as if he had been tortured by some kind of inhuman torture, but Dean's keen vision could see that the skin under these blood scabs was smooth and intact, and there was not a single wound or scar.

And strong muscles can be seen in his arms, thighs, chest, abdomen, and back, and his physical fitness is obviously very good.

But the most critical thing is.

At the first sight of him, a huge throbbing rose in Di An'an, and the inspiration from the forger's expertise exploded like a tsunami, constantly transmitting all kinds of information-

The spine can be made into a sword, tendons and nails can be used as a material for bows, teeth can be made into arrows, and skin can be used as armor.

The whole body is full of excellent weapon forging materials, where is a person, this is clearly a humanoid treasure!

"Untie him." Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Dean handed Jesse the key he had found from the deformed man.

Jesse glanced at him, and inexplicably felt that the skin on this guy's cheeks was so delicate that it exuded a white jade luster, and he became a lot more handsome.

But I don't have the time to think about it that much now.

She quickly unshackled the young man and poured a glass of cold water on his face, but the young man did not react in the slightest.

Chris, who had a little medical experience, reached out and touched his carotid artery, opened his eyelids again, and raised his eyebrows.

"Man, we're not bad guys, we won't hurt you, say your name, home address, and we'll help you contact your family!"

He still sat motionless on the ground,

Scott pondered, "I read in a certain newspaper that all kinds of cults are easy to breed in economically depressed areas, which not only harm people's bodies, but also poison their minds. Or let's take him to the hospital or the police station first. ”

As soon as the word "police station" landed.

The young man's eyelids squirmed twice, and he opened a pair of eyes as blue as the ocean.

But Dean could clearly see that for a moment, the eyes were beastly almond-shaped, amber.

"I'm not going to the police station." The young man said stubbornly, and leaned back against the wall, perhaps because he had been hungry for too long, and his voice was very weak.

"Can't call the police!" Dean looked at the six people approvingly, "Based on my previous experience working in the police department, the death of so many people, and the sensitive identity of this group of deformed people, will delay us for a lot of time, and we will need to cooperate with the investigation for at least half a year." This could even involve us in a troublesome and dangerous matter, would you? ”

When everyone heard the words, their faces hesitated,

"We took him to a nearby motel for one night and discussed how to solve the problem." Dean grabbed the young man by the arm in a commanding tone, pulled him up from the ground, and walked out with his shoulders on his hands.

The six exchanged a look,

"Let's go, honey, I'd like to take a hot shower at the motel," Carly grabbed Scott's arm, "and get some sleep." ”

"That's right, the deformities are all dead and can no longer hurt anyone," Chris said, "and make it a nightmare, and in a few days we'll be back to normal life." ”

"Let's go, guys, haven't you smelled enough of this disgusting smell?"

The six followed, got into the car, and drove away from the filthy dwelling, where a fire suddenly ignited.

A hint appeared in Dean's eyes - the "deformed man in the mountains and forests" was 100% complete.

Withdraw rewards.
