Chapter 1704: Nine-Eye Ghoul

Below the apartment was a street that wasn't wide. The civilians living here, even if life wasn't hard, were mostly laborers at the South Port. Wanting them to keep the street clean was unlikely.

Several Awakened climbed up from the ground. These people looked like they were drunk, not because they were careless, but because of the Ghoul's specialty.

"Bleed, all get up!"

A man in a tuxedo, about thirty years old, stood up staggeringly. He was the captain of the "Banquet Squad."

The squad captain raised his arm and bit above his elbow. Blood sprayed from the corner of his mouth. The weightlessness in his brain faded quickly, and a faint smell of alcohol emerged in the air.

Other Awakened followed suit. To restore their balance as soon as possible, they either bit their veins or cut a knife in their armpits.

The squad captain's face was extremely ugly. They had lost face today. They went on a secret mission with the Deputy Legion Commander, but in one encounter, they were scattered by a Ghoul, and some were even seriously injured.

Boom!

A roar came from afar. The squad captain, who had just recovered, saw something flying from afar, crashing directly into a broken carriage on the side of the street, wood chips flying.

A figure over three meters tall stood up from the broken wood. Its skin was dark brown, uneven like a lizard's skin, giving people a sense of toughness. The bloated abdomen clearly showed muscle contours. Inside the pale facial exoskeleton, there were nine pitch-black eyes. Below were over a dozen air holes and a horizontal slit. Judging by the length of the slit, if this Ghoul opened its mouth, it could at least reach the cheeks.

Strong, cruel, twisted—this was the feeling the Ghoul gave people. Those eyes scanned everywhere. When it looked at those Awakened, it was like looking at enemies, and also like looking at food.

"Is this... a living Ghoul."

In front of the broken window of the apartment, Bonnie stared at the Ghoul below without blinking. Just seeing this thing, she felt fear. Smart as she was, she couldn't understand one thing: how could humans have the courage to fight this kind of monster.

"Kuku Lin Bai Ye."

The three-meter-tall Ghoul wiped the blood off its facial armor. There was a clear crack on the lower jaw of the facial armor, and blood slowly seeped out. The Ghoul's blood was also red. This was the result of taking a kick from Su Xiao.

"Oh? It seems you are a member of the Ghost Ring?"

Su Xiao walked slowly from the other side of the street. Seeing Su Xiao's position, those Awakened jumped back one after another, blocking the other side of the street. Some even climbed the apartments on both sides of the street like geckos, surrounding the Ghoul. They didn't need Su Xiao to give orders at all. This was a professional.

Seeing the actions of these Awakened, Su Xiao nodded secretly, having a preliminary judgment of their quality.

The Ghoul with the broken facial armor stood in the center of the street without moving. All nine eyes were staring at Su Xiao. Su Xiao gave it too strong a sense of crisis. In its special vision, light red blood energy drifted around Su Xiao. This blood energy slowly formed a fierce beast above Su Xiao's head, seemingly grinning at it.

Su Xiao stopped ten meters away from the Ghoul. His right lower leg was somewhat numb. Before, he used Dragon Shadow Flash to catch up with that Ghoul instantly, and with Wood Spirit + Kinetic Boots, he kicked directly. Unfortunately, this Ghoul had an iron head, and Su Xiao didn't kick its head off, but instead, his lower leg hurt.

Su Xiao had eaten the loss of zero experience in dealing with Ghouls. The former Deputy Legion Commander's memory about dealing with Ghouls was all skipped. Clearly, how to deal with Ghouls was already beyond the reward of the identity.

The head was the hardest part of a Ghoul. The Ghoul's surprise at having its facial armor kicked cracked by Su Xiao was almost equivalent to two ordinary people fighting, where one side used a fist to smash the other's skull—bizarre. This Ghoul had a head full of disbelief, touching the broken part of its facial armor with its claws many times.

Su Xiao gripped the hilt of Zhan Long Shan. After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to use the sword to solve the battle. If they really fought to the death while holding a long sword, the possibility of him leaving a living witness was very low. Right now, this Ghoul was the only clue to find the Ghost Ring organization.

Finding the Ghost Ring organization was clearly not Su Xiao's mission alone. From the content and rewards of the promotion mission, it could be seen that other contractors' missions might also be to find the Ghost Ring.

How many Ghost Ring members could be eliminated was equivalent to the completion degree of the first ring of the promotion mission, and the priority of subsequent missions. The higher the completion degree, the greater the advantage in subsequent missions.

Moreover, once Su Xiao found the Ghost Ring organization and fought with them, other contractors would definitely find the traces of the Ghost Ring from the clues. Su Xiao never thought other contractors were fools. No, maybe someone was smarter and found the Ghost Ring organization before him.

Precisely because of this, Su Xiao urgently needed this living witness. Moreover, judging from the previous exchange, the Nine-Eye Ghoul wasn't so strong that he couldn't deal with it. If Su Xiao didn't judge wrong, his combat power was similar to a 12-eye Ghoul. Above 13 eyes was a Ghoul he couldn't deal with, unless he opened the Demon Hunter Moment or used Blood Beast to greet the other party.

Click, click, click...

Light blue crystal layers climbed onto Su Xiao's fists. He hadn't learned close-quarters combat specialization from Sha for nothing; it was just a different direction. Sha was good at throwing, holding, and binding, while Su Xiao was better at smashing enemies to pieces.

A low growl like a beast came. The Nine-Eye Ghoul bowed its body slightly. A transparent liquid dripped from its sharp claws. This liquid had no corrosive properties, but just its smell would make people produce severe drunkenness. It was an excellent ability when eating people.

Sizzle~

A metal wire popped out of Su Xiao's sleeve. How could capturing a living enemy be without the help of Boundary Breaking Line?

The Nine-Eye Ghoul, over three meters tall, turned to one side, exploding with agility that didn't match its physique, dodging the Boundary Breaking Line.

With a whoosh, a blood-colored mist spread with Su Xiao as the center point. In the position filled with blood-colored mist, the air even showed a subtle sense of distortion.

Panic State: If the enemy enters the panic state, stamina consumption speed +40%, physical defense -39 points. When the enemy releases a skill, there is a 12% chance of failure.

A subtle stinging sensation came from all over the Nine-Eye Ghoul's body. In just an instant, it felt a stinging sensation on its body surface. The originally tough skin seemed to lose activity, and the muscles also relaxed abnormally.

Su Xiao walked toward the Nine-Eye Ghoul. The more he moved forward, the faster he became. In the end, it turned into a full-speed charge. As for those Awakened, they still maintained the encirclement, but were ready to support Su Xiao at any time.

Su Xiao and the Nine-Eye Ghoul were in close proximity in an instant. The Nine-Eye Ghoul didn't make a move for the first time, but blocked its arms, which were much longer than a human's, in front of its chest, observing Su Xiao's every move through the gaps in its arms with several eyes.

Su Xiao's arms bowed, his right fist clenched. When he was about two meters away from the Ghoul, he leaped forward and smashed a fist toward the Nine-Eye Ghoul's face.

The Nine-Eye Ghoul was stunned for a moment. Its inner thought was, does the Deputy Legion Commander of the Execution Agency really know how to fight? Who was the one who kicked it before?

Although confused, this didn't affect the Nine-Eye Ghoul's determination to tear Su Xiao apart. The muscles on its arms bulged instantly, and the arms became at least a few circles thicker.

Claws like recurve scimitars attacked Su Xiao, so fast that they left afterimages in the air. And in the next moment, Su Xiao suddenly disappeared in front of the Nine-Eye Ghoul.

Bang!

The fist wrapped in the crystal layer made intimate contact with the back of the neck. The Ghoul's dark brown depression, Su Xiao even heard the click of spinal dislocation. The feedback from the fist was very clear. It didn't smash the enemy's spine, but it was close. ===== CHAPTER 1705 =====
