Chapter 25: Extraordinary Creatures

"Bang!"

In the abandoned zoo, a loud explosion occurred. In the darkness, a figure seemed to have suffered a terrible attack, flying backward directly, finally crushing weeds and shrubs along the way, and landing heavily on a thick cement wall covered with moss.

The powerful impact caused the wall to crack directly.

"Wah!"

Qin Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, her whole person instantly withered, and her pair of cyan vertical pupils were covered with bloodshot eyes.

"Wah ah ah!"

The strange baby's cry sounded again. This sound echoed in the darkness, flickering, sometimes in the distance, sometimes close by, and sometimes behind you, making one's hair stand on end.

Qin Qing's vertical pupils rotated rapidly, trying to lock onto the position of the fierce thing in the darkness, but failed every time, only occasionally catching a glimpse of a strange human-like figure flashing past in her peripheral vision.

"In front? On the right? No, that's not right, it's on the left."

Suddenly.

That strange human-like figure in the darkness rushed out, attacking again at an incredible speed. Although Qin Qing had locked onto it, she only saw a few afterimages in her eyes.

This was because the movement speed was too fast for her vision to capture accurately.

A figure that even evolved vertical pupils could not capture, obviously, the fierce thing's strength was higher than Qin Qing's current level. If she was not careful, she would die here in an instant.

"Looking for death."

Suddenly, Yang Yi Long's angry shout echoed, and white rainbows appeared all around, instantly dispersing the darkness. He killed his way out from another direction, trying to intercept and kill the fierce thing halfway before Qin Qing was attacked.

That strange human-like figure seemed to smell a trace of danger, actually giving up the opportunity to finish off Qin Qing, stopping strangely halfway in an incredible way, then turning its route directly, disappearing rapidly, and merging into the surrounding darkness again.

"Wah~!"

The baby-like cry sounded again, still echoing around.

Yang Yi Long stopped in front of Qin Qing at this moment, watching the fierce thing hide, his face carrying a bit of anger. His current state was extremely miraculous; his hair and the clothes on his body seemed to be affected by static electricity, floating slowly, and his pair of eyes emitted white light, while on his right arm, a terrifying aura was entwined.

The fallen leaves and weeds nearby were instantly ground into powder as they approached.

Under the floating dust, it seemed that the outline of an invisible long sword vaguely emerged on his arm.

"Compared to last time, this thing has become stronger again. Its growth speed exceeds our cultivation speed, and it is more cunning. It knows it is not your match, so it has been attacking me, wanting to finish me off first and then consume you." Qin Qing coughed weakly, and she stood up again.

Although she could still move, she had lost her combat ability, and even self-protection was barely possible.

"Yang Yi Long, retreat. The energy in your body is being consumed in large quantities. That 'sword' cannot be maintained for long. Once your strength fails, we will all die here." Qin Qing looked at Yang Yi Long's right hand and said.

In her line of sight.

Some kind of energy in Yang Yi Long's right hand converged and condensed along a special trajectory. This thing was invisible to the naked eye, but in her vision, it was extremely brilliant. The condensed energy was like a sharp precious sword, as if it could tear apart anything in reality.

"If I were weaker than that thing, I could accept failure, but now I have the strength to finish it off. If I still have to run away, it means that I, Yang Yi Long, am just a waste of resources. I'm sorry, Qin Qing, I dragged you into this. I originally thought that after I hunted that thing, I would share half with you to thank you for saving my life last time. I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Qin Qing said: "This is not your fault. After that thing suffered a loss last time, it changed a lot, and its growth this time completely made up for its previous shortcomings. Before, I could rely on my agile skills and excellent dynamic vision and reaction ability to deal with it, but this time, it completely crushed me in all aspects."

"I see it. This thing has extremely high intelligence and extremely strong learning ability. If we can't kill it this time, there will be no chance next time." Yang Yi Long's gaze was firm: "So, Qin Qing, no matter what, let's fight one more time."

"If we really lose, I will die here with you."

Feeling Yang Yi Long's determination, Qin Qing did not persuade him anymore: "Since you are prepared for a death battle, then there is nothing to say. Hunt it, and we will go back together."

"Okay." Yang Yi Long nodded slightly.

"Go."

Qin Qing moved once again, her figure darting forward at an extreme speed; she looked as if she were flying just above the ground. Her pair of cyan eyes spun incessantly, now locked onto the eerie, baby-like wailing coming from the darkness in the distance.

Yang Yi Long also moved suddenly, and he and Qin Qing surrounded and killed it from left and right.

The baby-like cry echoed again.

That human-like fierce thing sensed the killing intent of the two and also smelled danger, so it did not choose to fight head-on, but fled rapidly, not giving Yang Yi Long and Qin Qing any chance. Moreover, when it was fleeing, it intentionally controlled the distance. This distance was not enough to be caught up by the opponent, and it could also turn around and counter-kill in time.

Obviously, this human-like fierce thing did not intend to let Yang Yi Long and Qin Qing go, and also wanted to finish off these two evil Earth-Prisoners here.

Perhaps in the eyes of this fierce thing, Yang Yi Long's growth speed was also too fast. Last time, it clearly had a chance to kill him, but after a period of time, the fierce thing itself was almost beaten to death. If it couldn't kill Yang Yi Long today and let him continue to grow, it would also be very dangerous itself.

Each holding the idea that they must kill the other, this fight was still ongoing and had not ended.

"It's not an illusion. My eyes can already start to lock onto that thing. Is it deliberately slowing down to lure me into the trap so it can counter-kill me? Or is its speed decreasing?"

Qin Qing had been surrounding and killing it with Yang Yi Long for a while without achieving any results, but at this moment, she discovered that the figure of that thing had become sluggish.

"No, it's not deliberately slowing down. Its strength is starting to fail just like ours, so my eyes can capture it. This is an opportunity. Being able to be locked by my vertical pupils means I have a chance to hunt it."

Subsequently, Qin Qing glanced at Yang Yi Long.

Yang Yi Long was panting at this moment, the brilliant light on his right hand had dimmed a lot and was about to go out, but he was still trying hard to maintain it, because once this 'sword' went out, don't even think about condensing it again today. At that time, the two of them might really be counter-killed by that fierce thing.

"Is there still a chance to make a move?" Yang Yi Long seemed to have sensed Qin Qing's gaze, and he looked over.

The two looked at each other, seeming to understand each other's thoughts.

Qin Qing nodded slightly to signal.

Yang Yi Long's gaze was slightly hesitant, but soon it became firm again.

The next moment.

Qin Qing's speed increased sharply, and the little remaining physical strength in her body was being consumed crazily.

She wanted to squeeze out her last bit of strength to win an opportunity for Yang Yi Long to make a move.

In the darkness, Qin Qing's figure flashed past like a white rainbow. In just the blink of an eye, she had caught up with the figure of the fierce thing, and even surpassed it.

"Wah~!"

A cry of surprise and screaming sounded.

This human-like fierce thing did not seem to expect such a situation to occur. It had been controlling the distance, resulting in being caught when its physical strength weakened.

However, when it saw that it was Qin Qing who made the move, this human-like fierce thing roared instead, immediately stretching out a furry human arm. And strangely, what grew on this arm was not a human palm, but a beast's hoof.

The hoof glowed brilliantly, forming a ring-shaped mark. Even without opening the Spirit Medium, the naked eye could still see this glowing mark.

"Qin Qing, retreat." Yang Yi Long sensed something was wrong at this moment and roared fiercely.

But it was too late.

The fighting at this speed was all completed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Qing's figure and the human-like fierce thing's figure had a brief overlap at this moment, but suddenly the two figures separated rapidly. Afterward, Qin Qing's figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string, blood spraying in mid-air, and a rich smell of blood instantly permeated the air.

And the human-like fierce thing's figure only paused for a moment, retreating a few steps slightly, and did not suffer heavy damage.

But Qin Qing's desperate move was not to hunt, but just to intercept it and create an opportunity for Yang Yi Long to make a move.

"Die!"

Yang Yi Long's eyes glowed, and he struck horizontally like a god. A sword-shaped outline appeared on his right arm, and he slashed towards the human-like fierce thing at an extremely fast speed.

Sensing the danger of death.

The fierce thing let out a sharp baby-like cry, and then turned its head away.

But it was too late.

The surrounding light shone brightly, and an invisible sword had already slashed across its body.

And under the illumination of this brief light, the appearance of this fierce thing was truly presented.

It was a monster with a human body but a goat-like head. This appearance was close to the image of a demon in Western legends, but slightly different, because the fierce thing had ferocious fangs in its mouth, bloodthirsty and cruel.

Obviously, this was an unknown extraordinary creature.

However, at this moment.

This extraordinary creature was cut in half at the waist, blood gushing from the broken part and spilling all over the ground.

But even though it was slashed, this fierce thing still did not die. It was still alive, its double hooves, which looked like human arms, exerting force, supporting its upper body to pounce and kill towards Yang Yi Long.

However, such a counter-pounce was of no avail.

Yang Yi Long's anger had not yet subsided, and he immediately raised his right arm and swung it down.

The fierce thing's head was instantly split into two halves.

Under such a fatal attack, the extraordinary creature's life began to wither rapidly. But even though it was about to die, the head that had split into two halves was still squirming on the ground, and let out strange 'ying ying' cries.

"Qin Qing, how are you?"

Yang Yi Long did not pay attention to the struggling fierce thing before its death, and he rushed to his teammate's side.

"Die, can't die, I have no feeling in my lower body." Qin Qing lay softly on the ground, presenting a strange posture.

Yang Yi Long hurriedly checked Qin Qing's injuries, but could not help but change his expression slightly.

Qin Qing's back was bloody and blurred, nearly half of her body had been taken away by the fierce thing's hoof, and her spine had been crushed. If it weren't for the tenacious vitality of cultivators, such an injury would definitely be fatal.

"The spine is broken in several places, the injury is a bit heavy, fortunately, the internal organs are fine. It doesn't matter, as long as we go back safely, it can be cured. It's nothing more than spending a little more money. You don't have to worry, I will help you heal." Yang Yi Long then quickly thought about various medical plans in his mind, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Cultivators are evolving, and the world's medical system is also changing day by day.

"That's good. We can't stay here now. The smell of blood will attract other fierce things. Retreat quickly." Qin Qing's face was a bit pale, but she was still rational.

"Okay."

Yang Yi Long nodded. He no longer had the strength to hunt other fierce things and had to retreat from here in time, otherwise, if they encountered other dangers, neither of them would be able to leave the danger zone alive.

He quickly carried Qin Qing on his back, preparing to pack up the corpse and leave here.

But at this moment.

In the abandoned zoo shrouded in darkness, various roars and growls of beasts echoed.

"No, the sound of that monster is passing some kind of information to the surrounding beasts." Qin Qing reacted, seeing that the goat-headed human-bodied monster was still making strange 'ying ying' cries, and felt something was wrong.

"I see it too."

Yang Yi Long understood, immediately made a supplementary strike, stopped the monster from making strange cries, then packed up the corpse, and then retreated rapidly. *** ### Chapter 26: Falling and Escaping
