The Abyss World, the Kemono Girl Encyclopedia Project!

The fact that the Rainbow Cloud Shark, a creature extremely close to a ferocious beast, could be grabbed directly by a single tentacle speaks volumes about its ferocity.

Honestly, Wang Yan really didn't want to fight these damned beasts, because it was a completely pointless waste of energy. Killing them wouldn't bring any rewards, and their flesh was highly poisonous. He would rather turn around and run away than fight them.

But given the current situation, it seems that this damned thing has entangled him, forcing Wang Yan to confront this disgusting monster.

The monster's target didn't seem to be the Rainbow Cloud Shark. Seeing Wang Yan and the other person dodge, the sticky tentacles loosened their tails. It seemed to be climbing on the wall, and it was impossible to see what it was.

"Coo coo—"

"Gurgle—"

A strange sound, like the beat of a drum, rang out, and a familiar stench of decay spread. A pale, corpse-like hand rested on the edge of the cliff. The hand was enormous, with each finger at least as thick as a normal person's calf. Wang Yan remained calm and composed, drawing his broadsword to defend himself. As the eerie figure continued to rise, its appearance was finally revealed.

Although the beast had a humanoid shape, it didn't resemble a human at all, not to mention its deathly white skin and its two enormous, bony claws. Just its huge head alone was enough to make one feel nauseous.

Its teeth don't have upper and lower teeth in the normal sense. Instead, they are arranged in circles, as if it can't close its mouth, like a meat grinder, constantly making "gurgling" sounds.

However, what caused the most physical discomfort was its huge, long tongue protruding from its mouth, covered in sticky, foul-smelling mucus, with barbs constantly opening and closing on it. Only then did Wang Yan realize what the tentacle that had just grabbed the fish's tail actually was.

Wang Yanping calmed down and turned to You Li, saying:

"Youli, are you scared?"

You Li's face showed little expression; she simply drew the iron spear from her back, like a proud female warrior.

"Don't be afraid!"

He glanced at her and saw that she had brought her shield belt with her this time, which reassured him a lot. So Wang Yan stopped arguing and just killed the beast first.

With his broadsword raised high, Wang Yan, with his thick skin and fierce attack, naturally took the lead in the assault. The long-tongued monster was not to be outdone, its spear-like tongue heading straight for his face, clearly showing a confrontational stance.

Since he wanted to confront it head-on, Wang Yan had to put up a fight. He gripped the hilt of the knife with both hands, suddenly raised it, and drew a full moon with the blade, as if he wanted to split the tongue in two.

However, Wang Yan had clearly underestimated the flexibility of the long-tongued monster's tongue. As soon as it made a cut, the tongue softly neutralized the strike and even used Wang Yan's momentum to wrap around his wrist. In the instant of contact, Wang Yan's arm was almost shredded by the giant tongue.

You Li was clearly not going to stand there dumbfounded. On the contrary, she was very clear about her role. Since she was a little weaker than Wang Yan, she would do her job as a support. She went around to Wang Yan's back and stabbed him in the ribs three times, then immediately retreated, never being greedy for the knife.

Although the beast's bones were as hard as iron, and You Li's spear wouldn't cause too much damage, one spear still managed to pierce through the bone seams, striking directly into its internal organs, causing the long-tongued monster to wail in pain.

This allowed Wang Yan to escape. He was very satisfied with You Li's cooperation, so he pressed himself against her again. If the tongue wouldn't work, his neck would surely do.

Unfortunately, this monster wasn't as stupid as the kobold. Sensing Wang Yan's fierce attack, it quickly dodged, giving Wang Yan no chance whatsoever.

Thus, Wang Yan and You Li maintained a tacit understanding. Wang Yan took the lead in attacking with a broadsword, while You Li stood by with a spear, ready to strike if Wang Yan got entangled by the tongue. You Li would then stab at the vital points on its back.

After a few rounds, even though both of them were hit by several blows, Wang Yan was able to heal quickly, while You Li was protected by her shield belt. After several rounds, the long-tongued monster's injuries became more and more serious, and it seemed to be struggling to survive.

Wang Yan let out a long breath. Even with the stench of decay lingering in his nostrils, the monster's flesh and bones were as hard as metal, and slashing at it was like striking iron. His hands had begun to tremble slightly from the repeated shocks. It seemed that it was really necessary to end this battle quickly.

The long-tongued monster hissed, and seeing that Wang Yan was about to launch a fatal attack, it began to hiss at it anxiously, even showing signs of cowardice.

Wang Yan naturally didn't care about any of that. He was going to strike while the iron was hot. Now that his health bar had been reduced by more than half, if he didn't kill him now, when would he?

Raising his broadsword high, Wang Yan leaped forward, his only target the monster's neck. But as he soared into the air, he was surprised to find that the monster's face displayed an extremely human-like expression of mockery.

wrong!!

The monster suddenly turned around, its huge claws like a heavy hydraulic press, heading straight for You Li. It even ignored Wang Yan's attack and took the hit head-on, clearly ready to trade its life for his own!

Wang Yan hadn't expected the monster to be so cunning. Because it had its back to Wang Yan, the attack missed, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on its back, even slicing out bone fragments. But the long-tongued monster seemed to feel no pain, completely ignoring it, and just kept smashing and thrusting towards You Li, as if it had its sights set on her, relentlessly biting her.

Youli was momentarily overwhelmed by the monster's fierce attacks. The attacks were all blocked by the shield belt, but Delia had mentioned that the shield belt had an energy battery. Apart from the consumption during daily hunting, the energy from the previous battle with the White-Armed Tiger, plus this beast's fierce attack, had slowly depleted the belt's energy.

"Click—"

A sound like an eggshell shattering rang out, and Wang Yan was horrified—the shield had shattered!

"Retreat immediately!!"

Wang Yan roared, but it was obviously too late. How could You Li's skills compare to the flying spiked tongue?

Wang Yan gritted his teeth, leaped forward, and straddled the back of the strange beast, causing his tongue whip attack to miss. He tore at the monster's mouth with both hands, his fingers bleeding from the friction of its sharp teeth.

"Run!!!"

You Li was slightly taken aback, but she didn't continue to show off. She just bit her lower lip even tighter. Wang Yan had a thought, and the Rainbow Cloud Shark flew out of the sea of ​​clouds again, quickly picked up You Li, and then quickly moved away from the attack range. Only then did Wang Yan feel at ease and concentrate on dealing with the long-tongued monster.

"Come on, just you and me!"
