Upon hearing the footsteps, I froze for a moment, then quickly grabbed the handgun beside my bed.
Burglars?!
I thought to myself as I stood up abruptly.
At that moment, the bedroom door creaked open, and a figure stepped inside.
Under the moonlight, I could see that the person's face was somewhat strange, with a dark hole in it that oozed black liquid.
Despite the hole in his face, I recognized him immediately. It was Zhao Jian.
I jumped up suddenly and fired a shot at Zhao Jian without any hesitation.
The bullet struck, and his head exploded in an instant. Then, with a loud bang, a head resembling that of a turtle emerged. It wasn't a turtle, as it lacked a shell; instead, it had black scales covering its body. The head was bumpy, with eyes that were bright and glimmering with a blood-red light.
Seeing this, I hesitated no longer. I fired two more shots directly at the creature's head.
Clang! Clang!
Sparks flew from the impact!
I suddenly remembered that Chen Shan had once mentioned to me that this creature had a very hard head, and only its abdomen was vulnerable.
But when would I have the chance to aim for its abdomen?
Just as I was thinking, the Turtle Monster suddenly opened its massive jaws and charged at me.
All the blood in my body rushed to my head, and in that moment, I felt incredibly agile. I leaped toward the nearby Freezer.
"Bang!"
The turtle's head slammed against the wall, shaking the entire café.
I swallowed hard and ran outside. Regret washed over me; I really shouldn't have let my guard down. Damn it, I should have guessed that Zhao Jian would definitely come back for revenge!
I had just escaped through the café's door when—
"Bang!"
A loud crash echoed behind me as the door of my café was completely smashed in. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my backside; that thing's claw had caught me.
With a ripping sound, my pants were torn apart.
I dashed behind a nearby utility pole, my backside burning with pain, but there was no time to worry about that now.
"Crash!"
The Turtle Monster slammed into the utility pole, which fell with a loud thud.
I was in deep trouble; I was no match for this creature. I couldn't outrun it, and I couldn't defeat it! Was I really going to meet my end here?
Grinding my teeth, I sprinted along the wall.
"Thud!"
A sharp pain shot through my back, and then I was violently thrown aside.
The Turtle Monster swiped at me with its claw.
I rolled twice on Main Street before managing to get back on my feet. I looked at the monster across from me, and in its two bean-like eyes, I saw nothing but disdain.
Yes, disdain!
Damn it.
I swallowed hard, staring at the ugly Turtle Monster. I didn't even know what to call it. It was a reptile, like a Lizard, but it also resembled a turtle—so ugly and disgusting.
"What the hell are you?!" I shouted.
At around three in the morning, the streets were deserted, not even a ghost in sight.
"Hehehe, Witch Clan Bloodline, not a trace left. What a waste of your mother's thousand-year scheme, leaving behind only a useless one like you!" The Turtle Monster buzzed, then suddenly charged at me, its mouth wide open, exuding a foul stench and swirling black mist.
I quickly raised my handgun. As the Turtle Monster opened its mouth, I fired four shots in rapid succession—Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Argh!"
The creature rolled over violently, writhing in pain on the ground.
I hurriedly stepped back.
The Turtle Monster rolled and continued to pursue me.
Just then, bright headlights suddenly illuminated the area ahead.
I quickly darted to the side.
As the vehicle approached, it unexpectedly accelerated and charged straight at me.
What the hell? What’s going on?
I quickly dodged.
The car slammed into the Turtle Monster with a loud bang.
With a thud, the Turtle Monster was sent flying over twenty meters, while the car flipped over on its side before righting itself again.
I was momentarily stunned when the window rolled down, and a woman leaned out—Zhang Yuru.
Zhang Yuru shouted at me, "Damn it! Song Fei, get in the car! Where did you summon this monster from?"
Seeing it was Zhang Yuru, I took a closer look and realized, wait, isn't this the BYD that Liu Yiyi gave me? This car must have been modified; it's incredibly powerful.
I hurriedly dashed over and jumped into the back seat.
At that moment, I noticed the Turtle Monster in the distance shaking its head and charging at us again. Its size was comparable to that of an adult tiger, but its defenses were impenetrable, and its strength was immense—it was truly a beast.
"What is that thing?" a woman in the passenger seat exclaimed.
I replied, "We need to get out of here! I have no idea what it is, but it doesn't even flinch at gunfire."
Zhang Yuru slammed on the gas pedal, and with a roar, the car accelerated rapidly, reaching a speed of one hundred kilometers per hour in an instant. However, this wasn't a highway; there were too many turns. As soon as we slowed down, that monster would catch up to us.
"What do we do?" Zhang Yuru asked while glancing in the rearview mirror. "This monster is way too strong!"
I thought for a moment; our only option now was to call Chen Shan for help.
I reached for my phone, intending to call Chen Shan, but just as I pulled it out, my phone rang.
I looked at the screen and saw a row of asterisks; no number was displayed.
What is this?
I quickly answered the call, and a woman's voice came through. "Song Fei, head towards Xiafei Road. I'm near the Galaxy Building on Xiafei Road."
"Is that you... Su Mingyue?" I paused for a moment before asking.
"Hurry up." With that, she hung up.
I swallowed hard and turned to Zhang Yuru. "Go to Xiafei Road."
"I don't know the way!" Zhang Yuru exclaimed.
"Just turn left from here."
At that moment, the light was red, but no one seemed to care.
As we turned the corner, the monster behind us charged forward wildly. Fortunately, this car had impressive acceleration. After making the turn, I pressed down on the gas, quickly leaving the creature behind.
"Turn right there; that's Xiafei Road. Keep going straight; someone is waiting for us at the Galaxy Building up ahead," I instructed.
Zhang Yuru drove while saying, "What good does it do to have someone waiting? You’ve seen it; even a handgun is useless. Do you think the other side has a cannon? I think we should just get on the highway as quickly as possible."
I shook my head. "We need to hurry. That person must have some leverage."
At that moment, the woman in the passenger seat spoke again, "The other party is very powerful."
"What?" I asked, glancing at the woman beside me. She appeared somewhat slender.
She pointed at the traffic cameras along the road and said, "They can see our location and know what's happening here. She must be monitoring us through those cameras. If she can access them, it means she has significant power."
I nodded. "Or she could be a hacker."
The woman in the passenger seat smiled. "Yes, that's quite possible."
As we spoke, the car had already reached the Galaxy Building.
I spotted Su Mingyue standing under a streetlight in front of the building. She wore a white training outfit and held a long sword, standing there with an air of calmness, seemingly unaware of the monster she was about to face.
"Is that your friend? A woman, and one holding a sword!?" Zhang Yuru exclaimed, her voice filled with regret. "Song Fei, you really are unreliable. You think bullets can't harm that monster, but your beautiful friend can?"
I rolled down the window to look back.
At that moment, the Turtle Monster had already reached the streetlight.
Suddenly, Su Mingyue's figure leaped up, her long sword slicing through the air beneath the streetlight, creating a streak of white light. Then, the white light swept forward, striking the Turtle Monster.
A flash of blood appeared as the Turtle Monster's head fell to the ground, rolling continuously. Soon after, the entire Turtle Monster transformed into a stream of black water, flowing away into the underground passage.
"Stop, stop, stop! Pull over!" I shouted at Zhang Yuru. "That monster is dead; we need to go back."
"Huh? Really?" Zhang Yuru slammed on the brakes, turning her head in surprise to look back.
Seeing the pool of blood on the ground, Zhang Yuru muttered, "Song Fei, how do you have such an amazing friend?! That's insane!"
"Quickly, let's go back," I urged.
The car reversed back to Su Mingyue's side. I opened the door and walked toward her. Now I completely understood why everyone referred to her as Black Wuchang; she truly was incredibly formidable!
