Chapter 009: Monsters Battle Monsters (I)

Hidden... hidden? ! '' Xin Tu's heart was greatly alarmed

A strange thought suddenly flashed through Xin Tu's mind: they had burst into—no, they had been sent by the "White Light Being" into a battlefield where two terrifying creatures were fighting each other! And the battlefield was this peculiar pyramid where everyone was located.

The humanoid creature moved slowly and steadily a few steps, arriving right beside the woman who was pinned to the ground. Its hand, resembling that of a lizard, grasped the spear, lifted it, and with a flick, Liang Youman was sent flying, coincidentally crashing into the wall one meter to the right of Xin Tu.

First, there were the deadly weapons all over, the silent and unknown terrifying monsters that claimed lives, and now there are unknown humanoid beings that can become invisible and wield weapons—what the hell is going on !

Save ... ... Save ... ...

To this day, she still does not acknowledge her "resurrection" and only wishes to live and continue being the protagonist of her own story

The monster bared its steel-like fangs, releasing a plume of steaming white vapor, its roar sharp and piercing, refusing to back down

The woman stood frozen in place, her hands raised high. It was unclear whether she was in shock, as she still tightly gripped the dagger in her hand—perhaps at that moment she was completely unaware that she was still holding a weapon; otherwise, one would typically drop their weapon to show surrender when confronted with a gun.

Hiss!

Heavy footsteps, reminiscent of a drumbeat, approached from the direction where the two had come.

A bullet struck at her feet

Xin Tu believes that if it is that kind of monster, they should not say "there are ghosts," but rather "there are monsters." What Xin Tu is most worried about is that there is not just one type of monster.

Hiss

Thus, the two individuals saw a black monster that looked exactly like the one before, but was even taller, leisurely walking along the stone path in the center of the hall

Xin Tu suddenly turned around, pressing the gun barrel against his forehead, and shouted, "Do you want to die? Tell me, do you want to die, huh?!" After saying this, he tilted the gun barrel and "whoosh whoosh" fired two bullets.

Xin Tu then directed the beam of the flashlight here and there, his eyes moving in tandem with the light, his expression serious and cautious

Xin Tu turned around again, aiming the gun towards the direction of the two individuals, and said fiercely: "If you want to die, go ahead and save them. Even if you save them, it will only serve as a companion for your own burial. Put away your sense of justice and responsibility; this is a matter of life and death, not a film to educate the public!"

Indeed, the two individuals seemed to share a certain tacit understanding, simultaneously letting out a roar before charging fiercely at each other

Hiss

Bang

At that moment, a violent and bloodthirsty voice suddenly erupted within the stone hall, both resonant and piercing

So painful

Xin Tu paid no attention to Liang Youman’s life or death, fixating intently on the humanoid creature and the dark monster.

Regardless of Officer Wang, Xin Tu asked, "Tell me, what kind of monster is chasing you?"

If possible ... ! ... she is willing to give up everything she has !

Feeling the monster's ferocity and terror at such close range, Officer Wang was overwhelmed with fear. However, after hearing Xin Tu's words, he stiffened. It seemed as if he had been provoked, yet also as if he had been inspired by Xin Tu's calmness. Officer Wang's body ceased to tremble; instead, he raised his shield in front of him, the sharp silver spear pointing towards the beast.

Roar

Officer Wang also realized that if it weren't for Xin Tu firing, he would have already become a snack for the monster. With his life at stake, he could hardly care about anything else. He immediately directed the light from his phone back towards the path he had come from. Although the light was dim, it was at least enough to prevent complete darkness.

Liang Youman was thus pinned to the ground by that strange spear, blood splattering. An expression of disbelief remained frozen on her face

In order to secure the role of the female lead, she even betrayed her closest friend. After much effort, she finally won over the director and the wealthy investor, gaining the opportunity she sought. A bright future and financial success, along with countless flashes of cameras, awaited her ahead. How could she resign herself to dying in this wretched place, consumed by books?

The seemingly advanced metallic equipment stands in stark contrast to the skulls of various creatures, embodying a fusion of sophistication and savagery in this humanoid being

The roar of Xin Tu echoed throughout the hall

Xin Tu felt the body of Officer Wang, who was closely pressed against him, tremble, and could not help but whisper, "Can you show a little more ambition? Is your courage this small?"

Bang

The monster sprayed a viscous liquid towards the two, and then it suddenly twisted its body, transforming the chainsaw tail trailing behind into a scythe-like shadow that swept through the void

Suddenly, a blood hole appeared in Liang Youman’s chest, and in the blink of an eye, a weapon resembling a spear materialized out of nowhere, coming into view of Xin Tu.

At this moment, she no longer wishes to be any kind of leading lady, nor does she aspire to be a nationally adored goddess. All thoughts of renowned directors and wealthy young masters have vanished into thin air. The only thought occupying her mind is to escape this inhuman suffering, to survive, to survive— or perhaps, simply to take a gun and end her life, thus sparing herself from this hellish torment

Officer Wang turned around just in time to see this scene and immediately shouted, "Tu Xin, what are you doing? Why are you killing him?" He was about to take away Xin Tu's gun.

I ... ... I ... ...

A great battle is imminent

As both sides exerted their strength, the stone slabs on the ground shattered with a "crack".

Xin Tu immediately shone the light in that direction and saw a transparent shadow flash by in the distance, disappearing without a trace

The hearts of Xin Tu and Officer Wang instantly rose to their throats

Good ... ...

The arduous journey has made me want to curse.

Officer Wang could not bear to look any longer after just one glance; his gaze flickered towards the direction of the arrival, raising his shield and remaining vigilant against the monsters lurking in the darkness

Pick up the shield! In fact, if he had extra energy, Xin Tu would very much like to hold a shield in one hand and a gun in the other, but unfortunately, he does not. Even if he is eager to train, the lack of nutrition means that his efforts would yield little result.

Xin Tu swept the flashlight and the book light across, illuminating a transparent human-shaped shadow, which was sent flying by the tail of the chainsaw. However, it did not fly out horizontally, but rather vertically. After flying about five meters, the transparent human-shaped shadow landed, took two steps back, and stood firmly.

Officer Wang was just about to ask what had happened when Xin Tu lowered his voice and said, "Stay close to the wall... move slowly... do not make a sound." Pressing his back against the wall, he moved sideways like a crab.

Xin Tu remained relatively calm. If it had been someone else, they would have likely been shouting and wildly shooting by now. Xin Tu did not fire his weapon, as he felt that the creature had taken the initiative and appeared in a strangely leisurely manner, seemingly not targeting them.

The monster's thick thighs indicate that it possesses an exceptionally strong jumping ability, so Xin Tu dared not show the slightest relaxation, even enduring the pain of keeping his eyes open for too long without blinking.

This is the first direct encounter between Xin Tu and Officer Wang, where they clearly see the living monster under bright lighting

Liang Youman was both pleading and trying to smile, her tears falling like rain, "Please... please don't kill me..." At that moment, the only thing Liang Youman could think of was to use her beautiful appearance. Wasn't that Korean man making a fuss about wanting to protect her simply because he was infatuated with her looks?

She does not want to die

At this moment, seeing the actual object and recalling the content of those relief murals, Xin Tu feels that these two types of monsters seem to be eternal enemies, locked in an unending struggle

This has now become more troublesome and worse

Although Xin Tu could not see the invisible humanoid creature, he was one hundred percent certain that the fellow was concealed within this hall. They were like prey targeted by a venomous snake

This is a being with a human form, yet it is uncertain whether it is truly human. It is exceptionally robust, fully armed, and dressed in a peculiar mesh bodysuit. Its well-defined muscles stretch the bodysuit taut, exuding a sense of power. It is equipped with a mask, arm guards, wrist guards, shoulder pads, chest armor, leg protection, and so forth, all meticulously arranged. Various cold weapons are prominently displayed on its belt, gleaming brightly.

The saw chain swept through the void, yet emitted a solid impact sound

Dingling—lingling

It is indeed invisible

At this moment, Liang Youman extended her hands towards Xin Tu and the other person, her eyes filled with an infinite plea. The sound of sobbing mixed with painful wails, along with blood and pieces of flesh coughed out from her mouth, was truly unbearable to witness

I... I don't know... We can't see it at all, it must be a ghost... Please, don't kill me... Uh!

Throw the shield over here, and I won't kill you. Hurry!

The federal government has developed special operations suits that support semi-stealth capabilities, and under extensive media coverage, Xintu is naturally no stranger to stealth. However, the fleeting transparent humanoid shadow just now almost completely concealed its form, with no shadow even when illuminated by light. If this invisibility is achieved through technological means, it is evident that the level of technology involved is far superior to that of the federal government

Xin Tu and Officer Wang immediately halted their steps, holding their breath and focusing intently

Liang Youman immediately screamed as if she had gone mad, suddenly filled with strength, and threw the shield with all her might. With a loud "clang," it fell just one meter away from Xin Tu and the other person.

Xin Tu tightly gripped the trigger of the CF - 5, ready to pull it with force at any moment

Xin Tu clearly saw a transparent humanoid shadow at the entrance of the passage over there, which swayed to the left and completely vanished into the darkness. When Xin Tu's flashlight beam caught up, all that was visible was the intricately patterned blue wall; where could that transparent humanoid shadow be seen?

The humanoid creature trembled all over, its throat quivering as it emitted a sound, while the black hair on its head, as thick as a snake, writhed chaotically, resembling a frenzied lion

Liang Youman initially thought she had seen a glimmer of hope for survival, but little did she know it was a deep abyss of despair. She was terrified, so much so that her body was no longer under the control of her mind. The reason she remained standing was not that she could stand, but because her legs had become stiff.

Xintu fiercely turned the gun barrel and the beam of the flashlight, aiming at the direction from which the sound was coming.

At this moment, Xin noticed that the monster had several "green flowers" on its chest and left thigh, with corrosive blood dripping down. Xin thought to himself: "Indeed, it is the monster I injured earlier. It has been following me, waiting for a chance to take revenge. But its current appearance does not seem to indicate that it is coming for me. What is going on..."

However, what responded to her were cold and unfeeling words

to toy with

In particular, various bones of different sizes and shapes were hanging all over its body, and it was evident that these bones belonged to the skulls of different creatures. As its body swayed, these skulls collided with one another, producing strange clattering sounds

A furious roar echoed from the darkness over there, and then it vanished without a trace

According to Xintu, only the barbaric tribes of ancient times would collect the skulls of the beasts they hunted as a demonstration of bravery and honor

Suddenly, amidst the flickering of electric light and distortion, a tall and imposing figure appeared before Xin Tu and Officer Wang

Xin Tu also noticed that the appearance of this humanoid creature emerging from invisibility was essentially the same as the surrounding statues and the reliefs seen along the way. Moreover, that monster seemed to be reflected in some of the reliefs as well

Puff

Bang

Suddenly, the crisp sound of metal hitting the ground echoed, followed by a continuous reverberation

The oval, smooth, curved head, the high and towering shoulders, the slender yet densely packed dark metallic skeletal torso, the muscular and taut thighs, the claws on the elongated arms, ... and that flowing, whip-like chainsaw tail, especially the steel-like sharp teeth between the quivering upper and lower lips ... . Every aspect of this body is imbued with the aura of death

The tearing pain radiated from her chest in waves, and the tormented Liang Youman wished for death. Yet, she was unwilling and reluctant to die. It was truly a case of being unable to seek life and unable to seek death.

Hiss!

How ... ...

Roar

Xin Tu and Police Officer Wang clearly heard the sharp sound of the blade slicing through the air, causing their hair to stand on end

It turned out that the dagger in Liang Youman’s hand had fallen to the ground
