Chapter 38: The Fierce Viscous Monster

Puchi~

Clang!

The Dingtang Sword pierced into the woman's chest, while the woman's Short Spear struck Zhao Yuxin's Fish Scale Armor, leaving a small dent on it.

The woman fell down unwillingly, her corpse slowly disappearing. The woman's death made the Mole Player pause, and his teeth couldn't help but chatter.

It quickly burrowed out from under Zhu Zhiquan's feet, but perhaps it had been slashed by Zhu Zhiquan during their head-on clash just now; as it swung its claw, one arm suddenly spurted blood.

This also caused its attack to pause for half a second in mid-air, and it was this half-second that allowed Zhu Zhiquan to react, causing its attack to miss.

Zhao Yuxin ran back to Zhu Zhiquan's side; relying on the ability of her Bat Wing Ear, Zhao Yuxin was able to lead Zhu Zhiquan to dodge the Mole Player's attacks every time.

"Damn it! What kind of talent does this girl have? This counters me too much! No, the talent duration is almost up, I have to run!" The Mole Player realized he had no chance of winning and dug in another direction.

"Ajiu, should we chase?"

"Ignore it for now, let's go see what good things are in this warehouse." Zhu Zhiquan pushed open the warehouse door; it was pitch black inside, and it was impossible to see what was there.

Zhao Yuxin followed behind Zhu Zhiquan and said, "Ajiu, I sense something approaching."

Zhu Zhiquan held his Dagger Spear upright in front of him, turned his head, and asked, "Where?"

"Over... Careful!" Zhao Yuxin pulled Zhu Zhiquan down with her, and something like a tentacle passed over their heads.

Zhu Zhiquan rotated his body to kneel on one knee, guarding his surroundings, but because the warehouse was too dark, he couldn't see anything. Zhao Yuxin tugged on his pant leg, "Ajiu, let's get out first. There are too many monsters here; it's better if we go out first."

Zhu Zhiquan had intended to follow Zhao Yuxin's advice and retreat slowly, but suddenly Zhao Yuxin sensed danger and pulled Zhu Zhiquan down; several tentacles crossed over their heads, and Zhu Zhiquan, feeling indignant, shot an Arrow in the direction the tentacles came from.

"Ah~"

A scream came, and Zhu Zhiquan grabbed Zhao Yuxin's hind leg and ran out the door, while the monsters fired tentacles one after another, trying to pull Zhu Zhiquan and the others back.

But when the tentacles touched the sunlight, a sound of roasting meat emerged, and the tentacles instantly shrank back.

Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin looked at each other and exchanged a tacit, wicked smile. They returned to the Tricycle, took some firewood, piled it around the warehouse, and then set it on fire.

The raging fire burned up and soon spread throughout the entire warehouse, with the miserable cries of monsters coming from inside from time to time. Eventually, the warehouse collapsed with a boom; even if any monsters survived, they would be scorched to death by the sunlight.

"Congratulations on killing 25 Night-Walking Tentacle Monsters, you have gained 125 points."

"Let's go! We can't let other players see us!" Zhu Zhiquan grabbed Zhao Yuxin's hand and left the place quickly.

But they didn't know that when they were burning the warehouse, they were seen by a giant eagle in the sky. It wasn't until they entered another building of the factory that the giant eagle returned to a certain building and turned into a man.

"How is it, Wen Ge?"

Wen Ge took a crude map and an oil-based pen out of his backpack, spread the map on the ground, and analyzed, "Just now, a man and a woman burned this warehouse."

"Burned it?" His teammate pondered for a moment, "Why would they burn it? Could it be that there were many monsters inside?"

Wen Ge: "If that's really the case, then they must have a lot of points now."

"Then fine, let's go steal their points!" His teammate rubbed his hands, his eyes full of desire for points.

Wen Ge nodded, "Fine, but wait for my stamina to recover first."

……………

Zhao Yuxin pulled the Dingtang Sword out of a zombie's body, turned her head, and said to Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, this seems to be a production workshop."

Zhu Zhiquan did not respond, but merely swung his Dagger Spear to decapitate a zombie, then looked at two female players not far away who were shooting with bows and arrows.

Those two female players locked eyes with Zhu Zhiquan and immediately drew their bows and aimed at Zhu Zhiquan and the others, but seeing that Zhu Zhiquan and the others had no abnormalities, they chose to head to a higher level to gain points.

"Let's go, let's explore other places." Zhu Zhiquan took Zhao Yuxin to explore around the first floor of the production workshop.

Zhao Yuxin leaned into his ear and whispered, "Ajiu, were those two women just now good-looking?"

Zhu Zhiquan arrived in front of a door and replied, "Average, why?"

"Then am I good-looking?"

"You don't know if you're good-looking yourself?"

"Just say if I'm good-looking or not, stop with all the nonsense!"

"Good-looking."

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Zhao Yuxin slowly lowered the sword she had held to Zhu Zhiquan's neck. Feeling the threat of death disappear, Zhu Zhiquan then opened the door.

Once inside, the two saw an office full of signs of fighting, and they decisively looked at the next room. But after opening several rooms in a row, they were basically empty, and the room they finally found with monsters only had two zombies.

"This place is too poor, Ajiu, how about we go to the third floor and take a look?"

Zhu Zhiquan nodded slightly, and hand in hand with Zhao Yuxin, they arrived at the third-floor door.

Creak~

The door was pushed open, and what came into view was a floor covered in slime and bones of various sizes.

The two walked cautiously on the slime, and before they had taken a few steps, Zhao Yuxin tackled Zhu Zhiquan to the ground.

Boom!

A man wearing plate armor riding a giant eagle stood in front of the two, and the man pointed at Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin and asked, "Wen Ge, it's these two people, right?"

"Yes." Wen Ge replied while maintaining his giant eagle form, his tall body occupying the entire corridor.

"Hahaha~ Fine, Wen Ge, let's join forces and kill them!" The man drew the greatsword from his back and slashed toward Zhao Yuxin and the others.

Zhu Zhiquan used his Dagger Spear to parry, deflected the opponent's greatsword, followed up with a kick to knock the opponent down, and then thrust toward him.

At the critical moment, Wen Ge used his eagle beak to bite through Zhu Zhiquan's Dagger Spear and took the opportunity to slam Zhu Zhiquan against the wall. Zhao Yuxin wanted to go over to help but was blocked by the plate-armored man.

Wen Ge then continued to bite toward Zhu Zhiquan with his eagle beak, and Zhu Zhiquan raised his hand and fired a Crossbow Bolt into his mouth.

"Heh~" Wen Ge retreated and turned back into his original form, and Zhu Zhiquan took the opportunity to kick him back, knocking Wen Ge against the wall.

Seeing Wen Ge in trouble, the plate-armored man gave up entangling with Zhao Yuxin, turned to Wen Ge's side, pulled out the Arrow, and then activated his talent ability to save Wen Ge instantly.

But he himself spat out a mouthful of blood; Wen Ge turned into a giant eagle again, and the plate-armored man jumped onto Wen Ge's body.

"What's going on?" The two female players who were originally on the second floor heard the commotion and ran to the third floor, only to see a plate-armored man riding a giant eagle facing off against Zhu Zhiquan and the others.

The two female players had intended to return to the floor they were exploring to continue, but just at this moment………

Wen Ge and the plate-armored man were both stuck by a sticky tentacle, then suddenly dragged into the depths of the corridor, and accompanied by the sound of chewing and the two men's screams, a sticky, human-like viscous monster was revealed.

"Eat~"

"Eat~"

"Eat!!!"

The viscous monster spat out the word "eat" three times in a row with a hoarse voice, and stared fixedly at the four of them with that single eye resembling a deep blue gemstone.
