Old Master, have you ever been beaten by a Pokémon?

This time, the monster that had always seemed indifferent and unresponsive finally moved. It slowly twisted its body, and the black lines on its hideous face continued to spread and deepen like a living thing, as if it had its own life and consciousness. The back of its loose striped shirt began to swell violently without any warning.

"Puff!" A horrifying sound suddenly rang out, followed by a strong and pungent smell of blood. Along with the loud noise, a bloody mass of flesh and blood suddenly burst out from behind the monster, splashing everywhere.

The next second, an even more astonishing scene appeared - a pair of huge wings shaped like bat wings suddenly stretched out from both sides of the monster's body, bringing a gust of wind whistling past. At the same time, the monster's body was also undergoing a thrilling mutation.

The wound that was so deep that you could see the bone was healing at an extremely terrifying speed. New granulation tissue grew wildly, and in the blink of an eye, the wound was completely covered. Such a strange scene made people wonder if this monster had some kind of immortality.

This monster was so strange that Liu Tianci racked his brains but couldn't think of anything similar to it. You know, in the past two months of hunting, he had encountered and killed only five monsters in total.

Moreover, among these five monsters, four of them looked like fish-men with fish heads and human bodies; as for the remaining one, it was completely different type from the monster in front of him.

It flaps its wings in a unique and rhythmic way, each beat like a carefully choreographed dance.

At first glance, the head looked very similar to a common grasshopper, but a closer look revealed a difference - the sharp and slender mouthparts were like those of a seahorse, curved and stretched into the air, exuding a strange aura. Looking at the body, it was even more chilling.

The torso looked exactly like a long-decayed human corpse, with dark grey skin and exposed bones in some places. Even more terrifying was the tufts of black hair growing out of the joints, swaying gently in the breeze like the tentacles of a demon.

Liu Tianci was not filled with fear but curiosity and excitement at these strange creatures he had never seen before. He stared at the monster in front of him with wide eyes, as if he was admiring a rare treasure. He couldn't help but marvel at it and thought it was very interesting.

However, not everyone could be as calm and composed as he was. Behind a barbecue stall not far from here, the stall owner was curled up in fear, his face as pale as a piece of white paper, without any blood at all.

His body was shaking violently and uncontrollably, and his teeth were chattering in extreme fear, making a "crackling" sound. Not only that, under the tables around him, there were several other people hiding in a state of panic.

Some of them closed their eyes and covered their ears with their hands; others opened their mouths wide and wanted to shout but no sound came out.

"Monster..." The stall owner uttered the word tremblingly, his voice so weak that it was almost inaudible.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? It's just a monster, are you so scared?" Liu Tianci said as he walked quickly towards the stall owner, trying to calm him down. But when he reached out to hold the stall owner's shoulder, who was about to fall to the ground, he suddenly felt that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

The stall owner's eyes were empty and lifeless. His pupils, which should have been sparkling, had lost focus and became blank.

At this moment, the stall owner only felt that his head was gradually becoming dizzy, and the rationality that had always supported his calm thinking and actions seemed to quickly slip away from his mind like quicksand.

"Is this really that scary?" Liu Tianci muttered to himself, looking at the stall owner he had let go with a dull look.

At this moment, a cold and emotionless voice suddenly sounded: "Please move away immediately!" The voice seemed to come from the endless void, with an unquestionable majesty.

Then, another series of mechanical prompts came: "Permissions crossed, message uploading... Uploading completed!"

"The informant's san value is decreasing sharply, the current value is 93!"

"The informant's san value is decreasing sharply, and the current value is clear 85!"

A series of clear and rapid alert sounds broke the tense and depressing atmosphere. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that the sound came from the watch on the investigator's wrist.

Liu Tianci stood up carefully and silently, his eyes fixed on the mysterious figure in front of him.

"How could this happen?!" The investigator's face was filled with fear and anger, and he shouted hysterically: "Why did my san value drop so quickly? It must be you, the damn monster, who is causing all this trouble! You are a terrible source of mental pollution... No wonder you are listed as the first sequence and become a target that we must eradicate! Die!"

As he finished speaking, the people around him collapsed to the ground one after another as if their souls had been sucked out of them.

At the same time, Liu Tianci could clearly feel that his sanity was also slightly affected. It seemed that the mind of the Qi Refiner was stronger.

The investigator felt that if the situation could not be stopped from deteriorating as soon as possible, once it crossed the line of life and death, it would probably lead to unimaginable serious consequences.

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He quickly raised the black muzzle of the gun in his hand and aimed at the terrifying existence in front of him.

In an instant, a powerful electric current began to gather wildly in the muzzle of the gun, and a dazzling light flashed and jumped, as if a roaring electric dragon was about to break free and burst out. The energy contained in this electric current was even stronger than before, and the power was raised to a whole new level.

"Phi——" The sound made by the monster was extremely strange, as if it came from the Netherworld, which was creepy. At the moment when the plasma was ejected, the monster disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye like a ghost, leaving only the dust that was swept up by the powerful recoil and flying freely in the air.

"Switch, conductive mode!" the investigator shouted, and the thumb of his right hand holding the long knife pressed down the button on the top of the handle.

In an instant, the blue electric current that Liu Tianci had seen before quickly wrapped around the knife like a snake, making crackling sounds.

The investigator did not hesitate at all. He exerted force on his feet and rushed forward like an arrow. At the same time, he raised the long sword in his hand high, and then chopped it down with the force of thunder.

This attack seemed simple and rough, but in fact, it was accurately predicted by him. Sure enough, the empty space in front of him was suddenly occupied by a tall monster. The monster was as big as a mountain, covered with a layer of hard scales, and exuded a chilling aura.

The investigator's knife hit the monster's chest accurately.

"Destruction mode, maximum current!" He gritted his teeth and pressed his thumb against the button again. As long as this mode is activated, the current in the blade will instantly burst to the extreme, enough to cause fatal damage to the monster in front of him. But unfortunately, everything is too late...
