Chapter 006: The Frightening Hunt

However, at that moment, Xin Tu felt a strange itch in the palm of his right hand. Looking down, he saw the following blood-red characters appear: Reward 200 Red Stone Coins

Xin Tu finally let out a sigh of relief

The other parts of the monster's body remained obscured in darkness, making them difficult to discern. However, due to being hit, the monster's form swayed, and with the light from the phone, Xin Tu caught a glimpse of a dark, conical object covered in segmented, serrated edges, resembling a human spine. It seemed to be the monster's tail

However, this monster is truly disgusting

Certainly, the gun of Xintu did not cease firing bullets

Xin Tu turned his head to look back, unsure of where the monster he had previously injured had gone. Xin Tu believed that all sentient beings hold grudges, so it must be lurking somewhere, watching him and waiting for the opportunity to take revenge

"Come if you dare, who is afraid of whom"

You... you madman, madman! At this moment, Officer Wang also seemed to understand, and immediately shouted with a trembling voice, "You actually want to use us to lure that monster out... you bastard! What have I, Officer Wang, done to offend you for you to treat me this way? Ah!"

It is a gamble now.

Xintu sighed and said, "This won't do"

Xin Tu did not know why Officer Wang was shouting in pain, but he had no time to spare for him. Realizing that his aim was too low, Xin Tu could not afford to think of anything else. He once again activated the tactical flashlight and attached it to the gun, directing the light forward. To his astonishment, he saw that the creature had used its serrated tail to hook Lin Mufeng's corpse, shielding its head with it, as several bullets struck Lin Mufeng's body.

The reason the prey remains in the shadows is that the hunter's bait is not sufficiently enticing to lure the prey out

Ah! The anguished voice of Quiller emerged, "Help! Help!"

First of all, Xintu aims to see what the monsters are like that wander in the darkness, evoking boundless fear, despair, and the maddening screams of humanity.

The glistening, viscous saliva splattered out, even landing on Xin Tu's face

However, suddenly, a sharp black shadow swept in with a cold wind, and with a "puff," the sound of cutting flesh and breaking bones echoed. Xintu's face was splattered with bright red blood.

He lay directly on the ground and shot at the legs of the monster, which meant he only needed to exert force with his hands and waist. In contrast, Lin Mufeng's corpse became his cover.

Xin Tu quickly rolled to the side—he was betting on the monster's throwing accuracy being quite precise, so as long as he rolled away from his original position, he could avoid it. Xin Tu indeed managed to evade. The triangular tunnel was very narrow, and after a few collisions, Lin Mufeng's corpse was grotesquely deformed. However, the monster charged forward. Xin Tu could clearly hear the sound of the monster's body scraping and colliding against the surrounding walls, the tunnel trembled, and debris scattered.

Xin Tu's nerves instantly tensed like a bowstring drawn to its limit, firmly holding the trigger. At the same time, Xin Tu directed the tactical flashlight forward, "Let me see what you look like, monster in the darkness!"

Raise the gun, aim

Ah! It hurts so much, help me, help me!" Officer Wang suddenly cried out in pain, sounding more like he was suffering from something other than a gunshot wound. Xin Tu faintly heard some "hissing" sounds mixed in with the roars of the monsters.

With this thought in mind, Xin Tu once again focused his attention on the monster he had just killed before him

At this moment, it is angrily roaring towards Xintu. Xintu seems to be able to feel a wave of hatred surging towards him like a flowing stream

As the white light shone, a pitch-black monster swayed briefly before his eyes and then vanished, along with Quiller. The desperate and agonizing screams gradually faded away.

However, the bullets of the CF-5 possess remarkable penetrating power, piercing through the body of the lush forest and continuing to strike the monster with residual force.

Xintuodao: "I also have a mother who is gravely ill in bed. If I die, she will undoubtedly perish as well. Therefore, I can only say 'I am sorry' once again. However, if you can trust me, please tell me your home address, and I will ensure your daughter is taken care of"

At that moment, Xin Tu suddenly saw the one on the left, Kui Le, unsteadily getting to his feet.

One side has one, while the other side has three. If that monster chooses the bait with more people, it indicates that the monster possesses a certain level of intelligence; at the very least, it understands to select the side with the greater number. By adding a dead person to the side with more individuals, Xin Tu can determine whether those monsters are attacking them for the purpose of hunting or for some other reason

Finally, the monster let out a wail and lay still on the ground, obediently.

To be honest, if one does not have the CF-5 in hand, when faced with such a monster, Xin Tu would likely be left with nothing but fear and the chance to scream, much like that police officer.

The reason the hunter remains in the shadows is that the prey has either not yet appeared or the allure of the prey that has already appeared is insufficient.

Just as Xintu was about to pull the trigger, a strange, chilling sound, reminiscent of a saw, echoed through the air. Hadn't one ever seen a pig run if they had never eaten pork? That unmistakably sharp weapon piercing through flesh and bone sounded just like the sound effects in film and television. Moreover, that sharp weapon was most likely serrated.

This monster actually knows how to use a meat shield

Regardless of whether this information is useful, at this moment, Xin Tu can only strive to gather as much information as possible about the monsters

As the accuracy of the light increased significantly, the bullets struck the monster's left foot, causing it to sway and crash to the ground.

The transmission into the ear at such close range is even more shocking and impactful than before

With just a glance, Xin Tu continued to shoot at the head of that monster

At this moment, ample bait has been laid out, serving both as prey and as the arduous path for the hunter. What remains for the hunter is to patiently wait. Patience is something the hunter possesses in abundance.

In that moment, each person and each creature lay on the ground, staring at each other—although Xin Tu could not see its eyes

Although it was just a glance, Xin Tu still managed to discern the general appearance of the creature. The monster was entirely black, featuring a long, flexible, and streamlined tail, strong and sturdy thighs, and elongated arms. It also had several erect spiny protrusions on its body. Its head appeared smooth and elongated in an oval shape, while its torso could aptly be described as "skin and bones," as it had no flesh to speak of. The black bones seemed to be fully exposed, resembling armor.

That is a truly tangible shock of death

Ah, ah! Beast, animal, you are not human! You are more deserving of death than those monsters! Ah! The voice of Officer Wang was hoarse as he shouted, "If you leave me no way to live, then we all die together! The monster is coming, and you won't survive either! Come on, come on, I'm right here, if you have the guts, come and eat me!"

Because the previous cries had gradually faded away until they disappeared, it felt as if one was being dragged away while still alive

Previously, due to tension, darkness, and other reasons, a considerable number of bullets were wasted. However, at this moment, with such close proximity, if more bullets were wasted, Xintu felt he might as well commit suicide. The CF-5 bullets were driven one after another into the monster's head, creating one green hole after another, with splattered blood hitting the ground, emitting a hissing sound, and even corroding the ground beneath. The blood was green and clearly exhibited a strong corrosive property.

I apologize

Xin Tu swiftly turned the gun barrel to the right and, without a moment's hesitation, pulled the trigger, similarly firing blindly.

Xin Tu's entire body was stiff, his eyes wide and mouth agape, as if even his breath had frozen. It was not until he noticed that the tail was still twitching that he resembled a cat whose tail had been stepped on, with all his fur standing on end. He immediately fired several shots at the monster's head with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound. Only when that chainsaw-like tail finally stopped moving did Xin Tu let out a heavy "huh" of relief.

Indeed, it is the sound of this monster!

A painful sound emerged, a hiss of anguish, but more so it was a manifestation of anger and madness

The desire for survival in living beings is undoubtedly stronger than that for sexual desire. Survival is the foundation of everything, especially for humanity. Kuehler was first struck in the vital spot by a large wrench, and then he suffered a concussion from the same wrench. Despite this, he still managed to stand up again, demonstrating the strength of his will to survive. Kuehler made an effort to glance back at Xintu; even though they were far apart and he could not see clearly, Xintu could imagine that Kuehler's eyes were filled with intense hatred. Then, he leaned against the slanted wall, limping and swaying as he made his way into the darkness of the black and the unknown, completely unconcerned about whether Xintu would shoot at him from behind.

At this moment, Xin Tu understood that the scream of Officer Wang was likely due to the blood of that monster splattering on him

Monster!

Despair is as thick as the darkness surrounding me

Uncertain of the reason, Xin Tu felt a formidable power emanating from the tail's agile, flowing movements, as if a single sweep of that tail could cleave him in two.

Reward of 200 Redstone Coins? Is this a reward for killing this monster? Why does it feel like a game where killing monsters drops coins? Also, what about the awarded Redstone Coins?

Heart racing, hair standing on end

It is about to be killed! It is about to be killed!" Xin Tu opened his mouth wide, revealing two rows of tightly clenched teeth.

What the hell is this monster made of, how can it be so resilient! At this moment, Xin Tu couldn't help but curse, "Damn! I almost died again. Secretary Lin, even though you are dead, I still thank you for saving my life."

If that tail had pierced a little further forward, it would not have struck Lin Mufeng's corpse, but rather his vital point

The distinct sound of several bullets piercing flesh echoed clearly

Xin Tu bit down hard on his lower lip, even drawing blood without a care. Perhaps it was the sharp sting of pain, or maybe it was because he had already died once; soon, Xin Tu calmed down.

Do you still understand throwing

Puff

The bait set by Xin Tu is meticulously arranged

Accompanying the monsters' charge was an even more intense and chilling bloodthirsty killing intent

"I beg you... please, I beg you... I'll give you the gun, whatever you want, I will agree to it... please let me go, I can't die..." Officer Wang cried out in desperation, "If I die, my daughter will become an orphan! She is only three years old! I am her only relative; if I die, how will she survive... please, I beg you... otherwise, I would have chosen the left door long ago, how could I have ended up in this hellish place!" I am her only relative; if I die, how will she survive... please, I beg you... otherwise, I would have chosen the left door long ago, how could I have ended up in this hellish place!"

Isn't the monster's purpose not to kill, but to capture?

This is absolutely not a creature that should exist on Earth

Before it fell, the monster charged within five meters of Xin Tu. After it collapsed, considering the length of its body, the two were at most a little over two meters apart. The monster was frantically twisting its body, its metallic arms, adorned with long and sharp claws, clawing at the ground as it relentlessly crawled towards Xin Tu

Roar

The monster howled incessantly, and then with a fierce shake of its tail, Lin Mufeng's corpse flew towards Xin Tu.

To be honest, this is not the best location for setting a trap to lure the enemy. If the monsters charge in from both sides at the same time, Xintu is very likely to be trapped here, and he might even end up as the monsters' snack. But does Xintu have a better option at this moment? At least he is somewhat familiar with this tunnel; in other places, he would be completely lost.

Of course, if possible, he hopes to truly hunt them as prey and kill them

Shaking his head, he decided not to dwell on these temporarily unimportant matters. Xin Tu glanced at the display screen on the gun, only to find that there were still 32 rounds left. Xin Tu couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Although he had another magazine with a capacity of 100 rounds, he knew he was about to face an unknown number of these terrifying monsters. Who knows how long 132 rounds would last

The elongated elliptical head appears very smooth, with no eyes or similar features visible at the lower end of the arched head. Instead, there is a mouth filled with sharp, chilling teeth, resembling silver metal. As it opens its mouth, white vapor surges forth, and glistening, viscous saliva drips from its sharp teeth, landing precisely on the screen of the mobile phone.

With a high intelligence quotient, a resilient life, and the ability to approach silently with remarkable speed, coupled with a terrifying appearance... this kind of monster seems to be born solely for the purpose of slaughter

People are often the most irrational when they are in despair

Wang Dong, who stuffed his mouth with stinky socks, also twisted his body, his eyes bloodshot, wishing he could pierce Xin Tu with his gaze, turning him into a hornet's nest

Meanwhile, Xin Tu forcefully pulled the trigger, and a nearly silent bullet shot out from the muzzle.

In that moment, Xin Tu felt as if his heart was about to stop beating.

At this moment, Xin Tu was drenched in cold sweat, feeling completely exhausted.

At this moment, Xintu did not use the strong light of a tactical flashlight to pierce or provoke the opponent, but instead saw the monster, or more precisely, the head of the monster, by the light of his mobile phone
