Chapter 5, Monsters Retreat

The terror had not ended; in the next moment, Chu Yunsheng felt a chill run down his spine. Three soldiers were firing their submachine guns incessantly at the monster. Through his eight-power optical telescope, Chu Yunsheng could barely see a faint red glow on the monster's body that seemed to neutralize the rapidly flying bullets. Only a few of the bullets struck the monster's thigh, and it appeared that the pain had enraged the creature. It let out a piercing, unpleasant scream and charged towards the soldiers amidst the dense hail of bullets, moving at a speed that could only be described as a "flash before the eyes".

Once all the items to be collected were gathered, Chu Yunsheng changed the incantation. The floating elemental talisman, resembling a beam of light, shot towards Chu Yunsheng's small arm and was sealed onto it in the form of a seal. The entire process was thus completed

Cultivation! Frantic cultivation! ... It is essential to engrave the Materialization Talisman, and then engrave the Six Jia Talisman to control the Golden Talisman

Chu Yunsheng was terrified after the small steel plate was destroyed, realizing that his back was completely soaked with sweat. The situation had been extremely perilous just moments ago. If it had not been for the ancient book shining again in time, not only would that woman have met her demise at the claws of the monster, but the entire building, including himself, would have been in great danger as well. Therefore, he quickly tucked the ancient book into his bosom, resolutely deciding that from now on, even if he had to relieve himself, he would not let go of the ancient book.

Madness, madness, is this the human world or hell? Could this be what the ancient texts refer to as "the tumultuous human world"? This is too fierce, it is simply a hell on earth

If this dead monster follows the woman up the stairs, and happens to crawl up to the sixth floor and break in, he can hardly bear to think further. Although the building he is in has 12 floors, it seems that no matter which floor the damned monster breaks in from, with its perverse corrosive ability, entering his room would not be a difficult task.

After this incident, the entire community and street became much quieter. Later, many experts arrived to take away the destroyed white Audi sports car, as well as the liquid secreted by that creature. A tank and an armored vehicle were added to patrol the entire street, leaving Chu Yunsheng in awe of the immense power of the affluent area across the street

The entire world seemed to suddenly fall silent, as the woman stubbornly climbed upward, no longer able to call for help. The monster was merely one meter beneath her, and Chu Yunsheng believed that as soon as the monster exerted its strength, it could easily clamp this woman with its pincers. She was perhaps doomed to die, Chu Yunsheng thought

Then, in Chu Yunsheng's astonished gaze, it swiftly retreated down the stairs, moving at a speed even faster than when it had lunged at the soldiers, escaping far away. In just a few seconds, the monster had retreated into the boundless darkness, disappearing without a trace

However, the more gruesome scene caused the food that had risen in his throat to be swallowed down once again. The monstrous creature, with its two large pincers, caught the soldiers who had not managed to escape, and with a snap, it severed the two living men in half, dropping them to the ground

What drove Chu Yunsheng even more to the brink of madness was that after the monster killed two soldiers, it did not pursue the other soldier who was almost climbing onto the military vehicle, but instead mockingly fixed its gaze on him from below!

The monster with the open claws seemed to sense this immense power, letting out a cry that was entirely different from the triumphant sound it had made earlier; it appeared to be a lament, even tinged with a hint of fear

Only after it moved did Chu Yunsheng discover that beneath the monster's claws lay a corpse that had been broken into three segments, no longer resembling a human form. The red and white entrails writhed as they flowed down from the white Audi sports car, causing Chu Yunsheng to feel a spasm in his stomach, and he opened his mouth to vomit

Chu Yunsheng devoted himself to relentless training day and night; of course, now that there is no sun, it can be considered day and night regardless of the circumstances

In the following days, there was no massive influx of monsters from all directions as Chu Yunsheng had feared, resembling a nightmare; such monsters did not appear again. However, experts from upstairs mentioned that monsters had been discovered in other locations, and the military had to deploy heavy machine guns, at the cost of several lives, to eliminate these monsters

Chu Yunsheng hurriedly looked down from the building, and saw a woman in a white down jacket desperately climbing up through the window below. The potential of humanity in desperate situations is indeed immense. Because the downstairs had followed Chu Yunsheng's example and sealed the windows, all the balcony windows had long been closed with steel bars, which instead allowed this woman, under the pressure of her potential, to successfully climb to the second floor

Chu Yunsheng felt a sense of panic in his heart, a feeling of helplessness constantly striking him. If it were not for the ancient texts supporting his beliefs, he did not know whether he would have gone mad.

I heard from the expert upstairs that on that day, everyone in the building was so frightened that they wet their pants, of course, he was definitely not one of them. The woman is said to be the daughter of a wealthy businessman from across the street, who, along with her boyfriend, obtained a permit from the military to go out for some fresh air. Upon their return, they were suddenly attacked by that monster, resulting in the immediate death of the man, while the woman was nearly driven to madness from the fright.

The process of using the talisman to collect items is quite marvelous. Chu Yunsheng manipulates the incantation, forming a sword shape with his fingers, controlling the rotation of the talisman. The talisman emits a yellow light, sweeping across the items in the room. Anything that is not fixed in place floats up, and then, under Chu Yunsheng's control, it mysteriously shrinks along the yellow light and flies towards the talisman, until it is absorbed into the body of the talisman, transforming into strange symbols that appear on its surface.

As Chu Yunsheng was rapidly activating his pitiful brain cells, the monster had already arrived downstairs at a leisurely pace and began to climb slowly. Its method of climbing was quite simple; it used its sharp limbs to directly insert into the wall, then steadily moved upward.

The woman was saved, but after climbing to the third floor, she could no longer move an inch in the absence of the threat. Although she did not understand why the monster suddenly fled in a panic at the last moment, her mind had no capacity left to ponder this issue. With the help of kind neighbors on the third floor, this woman who had narrowly escaped death finally managed to enter the room on the third floor, where the sound of wailing could be heard.

Through the fourth-dimensional consciousness, one can naturally sense the activity of the elemental symbols along the arms. Through the symbol seals, it is quite convenient to perceive all the items that have been stored. This novel and wonderful feeling excited Chu Yunsheng for a long time

Unfortunately, this excitement did not last long for him; within a few days, the intense gunfire on the streets made him anxious again

Chu Yunsheng's room is on the 6th floor. Although the distance is a bit far, he has no doubt about this woman's determination to climb to the rooftop of the 12th floor

Chu Yunsheng estimated that everyone in the building was terrified, including the expert upstairs

The monster indeed opened its pincers, revealing that its patience had run out, eager to quickly end this tedious hunt. However, at that moment, the long-quiet ancient book suddenly emitted a dazzling array of colors. Chu Yunsheng, who had already connected with the fourth-dimensional consciousness, instantly felt a vast power overwhelming him, as if in that moment, the very essence of the entire space began to tremble.

The monster raised its head and let out a triumphant cry

Chu Yunsheng, filled with uncertainty, picked up the ancient book that had returned to its normal state. A storm of emotions surged within him; indeed, the treasures left by his ancestors were truly remarkable. It was ironic that such a treasure had been used as a footrest in his family for generations.

One soldier, who was still alive, propped himself up with his hand, dragging his severed lower body and exposed intestines, desperately crawling towards the direction of the military vehicle. The monster pierced the soldier's back with one of its sharp legs, pinning him to the ground, as if toying with its prey beneath its legs

What the hell, why are you staring at me downstairs, Chu Yunsheng thought, isn't there a soldier over there who has fired at you before?

Chu Yunsheng was alarmed; he realized that this monster had already regarded this woman as its inevitable prey. Having frequently watched Uncle Zhao's Animal World, he could somewhat understand that animals, when in an absolute advantageous position, would never let go of their captured prey

Chu Yunsheng took eight days to restore his energy reserves. Once everything was ready, he successfully created his first Level 2 Yuanfu, the symbol representing Na on the Yuanfu emitted brilliant golden characters from the main body, which then suddenly shrank back, causing the Yuanfu to hover in the air, shining brightly. Chu Yunsheng was so excited that he almost wanted to shout out loud, as it took him nearly 30 days to achieve this.
