My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 78 - 77: Wood Escape - Lingling’s Technique of Trapping the Enemy (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)

Chapter 78: Chapter 77: Wood Escape – Lingling’s Technique of Trapping the Enemy (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)

In a certain sewer, a portable strong light stood by the wall, its blinding brightness illuminating the surroundings with clarity.

Under the light was a withered corpse, with dry and brittle silver hair on top and black on the bottom half.

A few men in black suits were hiding by the corpse, rummaging through something with white gloves on.

Luo Feng stood at a distance, covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, his brows slightly furrowed as he looked with distaste at the sludge on the ground and a pile of rat remains.

He was still dressed in his white lab coat and narrow-framed gold-rimmed glasses, only his hairstyle was somewhat disheveled, and his lab coat was splattered with a few spots of mud.

At this moment, he deeply regretted not wearing a one-piece raincoat to this place, which was proving to be an ordeal for him.

No, for someone with such severe mysophobia like him, even wearing armor would still make him feel disgusted.

“Director Luo, we’ve found something,” a burly man in a suit said, holding a bag of evidence and hurriedly approaching with each step causing wastewater to splash and mud to fly.

Seeing the splashing mud, Luo Feng felt goosebumps all over and quickly extended a hand to stop the man, “Stop! Walk properly.”

The man in the suit paused, then remembered something and embarrassedly scratched his head while revealing a simple smile, then tiptoed over cautiously.

But his hulking figure combined with the careful movement made for a comical sight.

“Director Luo, look, this syringe is the same as the six we found in the suburbs that time,” the burly suit man said respectfully, handing the mud-stained evidence bag to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng looked at the mud spots on the bag and felt a wave of nausea, really not wanting to take it.

Pinching the evidence bag with two fingers, Luo Feng shone a strong flashlight on it, only to see several empty syringe tubes in the transparent bag.

In some of the syringes, there was still some blue liquid left, which under the beam of the strong flashlight, reflected a dangerous and magnificent glare.

After passing the evidence bag back to the burly suit man, Luo Feng wiped his hands with a wet napkin and asked, “Have the results for the syringe extracts we found last time come back yet?”

“No results yet, but our colleagues in the chemistry department have sent the components to the provincial government, and we should have the results very soon.”

“Hmm, push for it as soon as we get out, the sooner the better,” Luo Feng pondered for a moment, “Oh, and get in touch with Chen Zhenglong, tell him Burial Fox is dead.”

As soon as the burly suit man heard this, he immediately pulled out his walkie-talkie, tuned to a private channel, and tried to contact Chen Zhenglong.

Strange electrical noises echoed in the empty sewer, yet there was no reply.

After a moment, his face looked somewhat troubled, “Director Luo, I can’t reach him.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there came a disturbance from the depths of the sewer, followed by a myriad of red dots flickering in the darkness.

“Everyone, come back, protect Director Luo,” the burly suit man drew his own beast, shielding Luo Feng nervously.

Seeing this, the other suited men around the corpse quickly retreated to surround Luo Feng, each summoning their own beasts.

A flurry of footsteps and flying mud ensued, with Luo Feng trying to avoid the mud and water, his face turning even darker.

Six pitch-black wolf beasts stood on the outer rim; their bodies were free of any stray colors, save for their slightly silver-grey eyes, which suited them for moving in the night.

The leading large wolf beast stared intently into the darkness, its mane bristling and a threatening growl emanating from its throat.

“Hiss!”

Following a hiss from the darkness, the red dots quickly started moving, creating loud, clashing noises.

“Night Wolf, Shadow Raid,” the burly man shouted, and the leading Night Wolf’s form flickered, disappearing into the darkness, followed by the other Night Wolves.

Soon, several shrill screams echoed from the distant dark, with visible reduction in the number of red dots.

After a brief confrontation, the Night Wolves did not return, while the group of unknown mutant creatures continued to advance; the burly suit man’s expression turned grim, sensing a bad premonition.

The dense cluster of blood-colored pupils stopped just outside the range of the light, their greedy gaze locked onto Luo Feng and the others.

“Hiss!”

Shadows flickered as a gigantic spider slowly emerged into the illuminated area.

Blood-sucking Tarantula? No, that’s not right. He had seen Blood-sucking Tarantulas before, and they weren’t this disgusting.

Luo Feng was astonished as he stared at the hideous spider in front of him, its thick legs adorned with twisted, vein-like protrusions and several bulges on its back. Due to the backlighting, Luo Feng couldn’t make out exactly what they were.

But he felt an eerie sense of familiarity.

The Split-eyed Demon Spider took a few more steps forward, several revolting growths swaying into view before Luo Feng.

It was then that he finally remembered where he had seen such mutant creatures.

In the suburbs of Su City, there was one split in half by an unknown force that looked very similar to the one before him, only much larger and more severely damaged, which was why Luo Feng hadn’t recognized it immediately.

“Night Wolf!!” The suit-clad burly man let out a desolate roar, his voice tragic as his teeth gritted in rage.

His Night Wolf had been pierced through by the spider’s forelimb, casually hanging on the spider’s leg as blood flowed down the veiny protrusions.

Upon hearing the man in the suit’s voice, the Night Wolf weakly opened its eyes, whimpered faintly, and then lowered its head, barely hanging on to life.

The Split-eyed Demon Spider looked down at the few insignificant bipeds before it, a hint of scorn in its frenzied gaze as it shook its forelimb, flinging off the small creature attached to it.

“Bang!”

The Night Wolf crashed heavily in front of the group, splashing a considerable amount of mud and water.

“Hiss!”

The Split-eyed Demon Spider stared at the bedraggled group, a trace of mockery in its eyes.

Suddenly, it stiffened, sensing a tremor from deep within its soul.

The Split-eyed Demon Spider awkwardly turned its head toward the source of its unease.

Luo Feng stood still, covered in mud, his body trembling as he opened a Space Rift behind him, from which a massive, yellow vertical pupil coldly fixed on the Split-eyed Demon Spider.

Feeling the vile stench and damp stickiness all over, Luo Feng’s heart surged with intense murderous intent, and he forced out through clenched teeth, “Kill! It! For! Me!”

“Hmm!”

Several fiery red tails, resembling long whips, extended from his back, swaying in the darkness with a deadly beauty.

…

“Where is Chen Zhenglong? Hasn’t he returned yet?” the Abnormal Administration Bureau director paced back and forth in his office, dressed in uniform, just like several other department heads of Su City who anxiously awaited news.

Yang Qian, over fifty this year, stood tall and dignified with jet-black hair. Only the belly typical of middle-aged men gave him a somewhat portly look.

But those who knew him were aware that he, too, was once a notable figure in Su City. Unfortunately, during an international military competition, his main combat creature was severely injured and struggled to recover, leading him to gradually fade from the front lines.

With the recent rampant rise of dangers in Su City, Yang Qian, as the head of the city’s Abnormal Administration Bureau, was feeling extremely frustrated.

Upon receiving Chen Zhenglong’s operation request, he immediately approved it, eager to crackdown on criminals.

He initially thought it would be a surefire operation, but little did he expect that shortly after it began, the Abnormal Administration Bureau received continuous reports of injuries caused by mutant creatures.

At first, they thought it was just a coincidence; after all, a few incidents a day weren’t uncommon. Moreover, most of the Bureau’s manpower had been redeployed, leaving them with no capacity to deal with these trifling matters.

As more and more calls came in, far exceeding the capacity of the emergency response platform, those in charge began to sense trouble, but by then it was too late—all communication signals throughout the city were either blocked or destroyed.

“Director, director! Team Captain Qian Cheng led the staff to repair the base station and got surrounded by a large number of Blood Wolves. Captain Qian… has sacrificed himself.” The door to the director’s office burst open as a young officer covered in scars stumbled in frantically.

Yang Qian’s face turned ashen in an instant, his broad palms trembling ever so slightly, and he closed his eyes in despair.

Repairing the base station was a strategy devised by the Abnormal Administration Bureau and other departments, with the Bureau’s personnel protecting the workers. Even if they only managed to repair one base station, they could communicate with the outside world.

Now, all we could do was wait for other cities to notice the abnormalities and then come to our rescue.

“The people throughout the city are facing the threat of death; you can imagine how desperate they are. I must personally go to the front lines, vowing to share life and death with Su City,” Yang Qian burst open his eyes, looked around, and declared resolutely.

“But Director Yang…” The leaders of the other departments wanted to persuade him further.

“There are no buts. I am the Director of the Abnormal Administration Bureau of Su City, and I am also a soldier of Great Xia. The rest of you, being in civil service, stay here. If, by misfortune, I…” Yang Qian didn’t finish his sentence, just shook his head slightly, no longer paying attention to the others, turned, and pushed the door to leave.

In the courtyard of the Abnormal Administration Bureau, Yang Qian extended his hand to create a space rift, and a somewhat languid rhinoceros appeared before everyone with heavy steps.

The Stone-armored Giant Rhinoceros, the partner who accompanied Yang Qian in his growth over the years, was also the guardian deity in the hearts of a generation of Su City’s people in the past.

With shoulders over 2 meters tall, the Stone-armored Giant Rhinoceros was renowned for its hard stony armor, though at this moment, its armor was covered with cracks.

“Old buddy, you and I, two old immortals, are heading into battle side by side once more.” Yang Qian stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pat the broken horn of the Stone-armored Giant Rhinoceros, his face bearing a trace of reminiscence.

Seeing Yang Qian, the Stone-armored Giant Rhinoceros nuzzled him with its big head and gave a deep call, happy to be fighting alongside him once again.

Yang Qian looked up into the distance, his eyes determined; for this city, he would stop at nothing.

“Damn it, we can’t keep running, we have to find a way to deal with them,” Shao Zifeng, holding Qiuqiu, ran desperately through the sewers, with more than ten Blood-sucking Tarantulas hissing behind them.

Not long before, the Life Seed had suddenly shattered. Xiong Er, as if stimulated by something, had turned red-eyed and heedlessly rushed deeper into the sewers.

Without Xiong Er’s protection, the Class Four students faced the swarm of spiders directly, and in an instant, four of them were decapitated.

The fear of death ignited everyone’s will to live, and for a moment the scene was chaotically frantic.

In the midst of the chaos, a few managed to break free, and Shao Zifeng was one of them. After making several turns, the students scattered in different directions.

Theoretically, after running so far, but still, a few stubborn Blood-sucking Tarantulas persisted in chasing him without giving up.

Then it struck Shao Zifeng, “Elemental Spirit, release Wood Thorns against the wall and then use Vine Strangulation on the thorns.”

A layer of green stars emerged from Qiuqiu, floated up into the air, and condensed into a semi-transparent Elemental Spirit.

“Heehee~” It first flew next to Shao Zifeng’s head, encircled his face with its tiny arms, and planted a strong kiss on him.

Shao Zifeng rolled his eyes; speaking of which, what’s the point of kissing when you don’t even have a mouth, not to mention the situation at hand?

“Stop fooling around, be good now.”

The Elemental Spirit was indeed obedient; it turned around, flew into the air, hands on its hips, and blue eyes shimmering with light.

“Boom! Boom!”

The sewers shook violently.

Thick Wood Thorns burst out of the sewer walls, interlocking like canine teeth. At a glance, they resembled ferocious teeth in a giant maw.

The Elemental Spirit’s little face serious, it waved a tiny hand, and from the base of the Wood Thorns grew a multitude of vines that twisted and coiled like serpentine creatures, entangling each other in the air, and forming a vast net.

“Hiss!”

Facing the sudden appearance of the wooden net, the Blood-sucking Tarantulas emitted angry hisses, slamming forcefully against the net due to their huge inertia, which deeply dented the net, dissipating the great impact.

Before they could get up, the vines wriggled, entangling the legs and heads of several Blood-sucking Tarantulas like a net, ensnaring them all at once.

Although they momentarily trapped the Blood-sucking Tarantulas, the Elemental Spirit was after all only first grade; even with high talent, it was impossible to directly subdue the third-grade Blood-sucking Tarantulas.

“Hiss!”

The Blood-sucking Tarantulas covered and bound by the vines became even angrier; as they exerted force, the vines started to break under the strain, and soon, they would entirely tear apart the vine net.

However…

It was enough.

Shao Zifeng’s lips curled with a faint smile, “Elemental spirit, continue to release Wood Thorn and Vine Strangulation behind the target.”

The elemental spirit, which had been striking a pose and showing off in mid-air, trembled at the words, and looked at Shao Zifeng with a grievance.

I’m almost drained.

Shao Zifeng’s mouth twitched, what the hell, weren’t you very confident just now?

It seemed that the elemental spirit was unreliable. He stretched out his hand and tore open a space rift.

He had intended to completely block their escape route and then let Qiuqiu reap them.

But this was also enough to give them a hard time, “Qiuqiu, Fiery Breath!”

“Roar!”

The space rift opened, and Qiuqiu, bathed in flames, stepped out from the rift.

As Qiuqiu’s paws touched the ground, the surrounding fire elements instantly became more active, and the mud beneath Shao Zifeng’s feet slowly dried up, causing the surface to crack.

After some time to recover, Qiuqiu’s Scale Armor had regrown, and its body was larger than when it had just evolved. The row upon row of showy spines made it appear even more ferocious.

A mystical Array appeared in front of Qiuqiu, and a deep red Elemental Ball rapidly condensed and compressed.

The Blood-sucking Tarantulas that hadn’t escaped felt the violent fire elemental fluctuations and let out a cry of terror, desperately trying to break free from the wooden web.

“Roar!”

A flash of fierce light in Qiuqiu’s eyes, and a column of bursting fire thick as a bucket directly engulfed the Blood-sucking Tarantula swarm.

“Hiss~ Squeak!!”

The Wood Thorn and Vine Strangulation, catalyzed by wood elements, caught fire upon contact, and the blaze grew even more ferocious. Even Shao Zifeng felt a tinge of heat, let alone the elemental spirit, which had long since dived into the little deer’s body.

More than a dozen Blood-sucking Tarantulas rolled in the sea of fire, crying out in pain until they were breathless moments later.

Shao Zifeng was surprised. He had calculated that, even if Qiuqiu was strong, some would still escape since their retreat wasn’t completely cut off.

But who would have thought that with the assistance of the wood elements aiding the combustion, Fiery Breath turned into a sustained blaze that burnt all the Blood-sucking Tarantulas to death.

Looking at the scene before him, a sudden idea came to Shao Zifeng’s mind.

If he hadn’t run at that time, the elemental spirit in combination with Qiuqiu might have really saved all the students of the fourth class.

No, that’s wrong, thought Shao Zifeng, and shook his head vigorously.

They’re nothing to me, why should I risk my life to save them?

He was a bit afraid of his own change, he wouldn’t have had such thoughts in the past.

The fire gradually extinguished, leaving only the dry, cracked mud and the charred remains of the Blood-sucking Tarantulas on the scene.

The elemental spirit was the first to fly out of the little deer’s body and sat on Shao Zifeng’s shoulder, shaking its little feet.

Qiuqiu’s eyes burned with flame, disdainfully glancing at the elemental spirit.

Weakling.

In the end, I can’t rest assured to entrust the mission to you guys.

Dealing with this bunch of idiots still requires Lord Qiuqiu to take personal action.

Thinking this, the flames in Qiuqiu’s eyes grew more vigorous, and its posture became even more upright.
