Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

At this moment, on the street shrouded in eerie mist, Jack and the monster stood facing each other.

The already oppressive and gloomy atmosphere surrounding the area, due to the appearance of the eerie fog, was further amplified by a sense of hostility and pressure.

After letting out a roar to the sky, Jack leaped into the air. His massive body created a gust of wind, accompanied by heavy footsteps. Then, he swung his huge and powerful bear claws down at the monster.

The mermaid-like monster was watching Jack's movements. As it saw the giant bear claw about to fall, a sinister light flashed in the dense, blood-red eyes on its face.

The next second, the mermaid monster's body began to move rapidly in a "swimming" manner, changing positions with great agility and easily dodging Jack's attack.

Upon seeing this, a look of surprise immediately appeared in Jack's eyes.

This monster was much faster than anything seen in the movies.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, the ocean was the opponent's home turf, and the opponent could swim several times faster in the ocean than on land.

Even Xiao He, who was quietly observing from behind Jack, was shocked by the speed and "swimming" method of this mermaid monster.

This situation is no less than in my previous life, when I wanted to go out for a walk but ended up seeing a shark swimming on the ground.

But then again, there does seem to be a movie about sharks killing people on land, I think the name is something like that?

Thinking of this, Xiao He, who had been deep in thought, immediately shook his head.

Now is not the time to think about that.

Then, his gaze returned to Jack, who was chasing the mermaid monster not far away.

"The situation seems a bit pessimistic!"

Xiao He muttered to himself.

The extent of that mermaid monster's power is still unknown, but the speed it is currently displaying already far surpasses Jack's.

In addition, compared to his opponents of the same level, Jack's weakness is his huge and clumsy body.

Although his strength certainly far surpasses that of ordinary opponents of the same level, no matter how powerful he is, if he can't hit his enemy, he's just a joke.

And that's exactly the situation Jack is in now.

Moreover, Xiao He also realized that the reason why the mermaid monster kept hiding and not attacking seemed to be that it was testing Jack's strength and trying to find his weaknesses.

Meanwhile, the merman monster's body tumbled and shifted in the air, nimbly dodging Jack's attacks.

Although Jack had the same thoughts as Xiao He at this moment, the opponent's speed was too agile and nimble, like a mudfish covered in slime, making it impossible for him to make a move.

"This can't go on any longer."

Jack thought to himself as he missed again with his claw.

He could no longer use his weaknesses to counter the merman monster's strengths.

However, just as Jack was pondering how to change his fighting style, the translucent scales on the mermaid monster's body suddenly emitted a faint light, like a dreamlike bubble. As the light grew stronger, its speed gradually increased.

Upon noticing this, Jack's expression immediately became extremely serious, and even Xiao He behind him couldn't help but frown.

Even a fool could see that the other party was preparing to retaliate.

Sure enough, at that moment, the mermaid monster suddenly soared into the air, its body now shimmering with a dazzling phantom light, and it hurtled towards Jack like a sharp sword, leaving a stunning trail of light.

In an instant, the surroundings shrouded in eerie mist appeared as if a bolt of lightning had ripped through the night sky.

However, just as some brightly colored creatures may contain deadly poisons, the mermaid monster also conceals its deadly poisonous move beneath this dazzling and colorful phantom light.

Suddenly, the seemingly dilapidated and twisted arm of the mermaid monster underwent a bizarre transformation.

The scales on his arm began to fall off, and then the arm began to undergo some kind of strange change. The muscles twisted, the skin cracked open in an instant, and then a small bone spur emerged from his skin. Then, bone spurs continued to grow like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

These bone spurs seemed to shimmer with a poisonous light, emanating an evil and terrifying aura. Soon, this once "normal" arm transformed into a weapon resembling a spiked mace.

Of course, all of this went unnoticed by Jack, who was enveloped in the phantom light emanating from the mermaid monster's body. Instead, Xiao He, who was not far away, seemed to sense something.

That mermaid monster seems to have suddenly grown a lot bigger!

At that moment, Jack quickly retreated, trying to avoid the mermaid monster's attack.

Although he didn't know why the other party suddenly turned into a sun and a bolt of lightning.

However, he could sense that the opponent's attack was a powerful and deadly blow.

However, although Jack took several steps back, he did not show weakness. Instead, he roared at the mermaid monster hiding in the phantom light, and then all the muscles in his body tensed up instantly.

Because Jack knew that since the other party had been hiding for so long without fighting back, once they did fight back, it would definitely be their strongest attack, just like a predator in the deep sea, lurking in the shadows, ready to strike with deadly accuracy.

All of this, which seems to take a long time, actually only happens within a few seconds.

The next second, the mermaid monster was already close by. As the phantom-like light on its body gradually dissipated, Jack, who was closest to it, finally noticed the change in the monster's arm.

Jack was stunned for a moment when he saw the arm covered in bone spurs that looked like a mace.

The movie didn't mention that this mermaid monster had such abilities!

He initially thought it was understandable that the creature could glow, since the movie had explained why the mermaid monster was covered in those glowing, translucent scales. Besides being a deep-sea fish, it was also because it had been affected by some kind of chemical substance during the experiment.

But none of that matters now. What matters is that the arm, which looks like a spiked club, is about to smash down on his head.

As mentioned before, this mermaid monster seems to have a particular fondness for headshots.

Although Jack is now a tough bear, he has a feeling that if he takes this hit head-on, he will definitely get his head blown off!

At this critical moment, Jack had a sudden inspiration. He bent his legs and lay down straight. As he lay down, the spiked club-like arm just grazed his scalp and flew straight towards Xiao He behind Jack.

Xiao He: "..."

"It turns out that you can get shot even when you're lying down."

Xiao He looked at the mermaid monster flying towards him, his face expressionless, then silently raised his arm.

With a writhing motion of flesh and blood, his arm once again transformed into a blade of flesh and blood.

It must be said that although Flesh and Blood Blade is one of Xiao He's worst abilities, it is still quite useful at times, like now.

Thinking of this, Xiao He's eyes sharpened, and he muttered to himself.

"Of all people to mess with, you had to provoke me."

In fact, even if the merman monster hadn't attacked him by accident, he had already planned to make a move.

After all, judging from Jack's appearance, it was clear that he wouldn't be able to deal with the mermaid monster anytime soon, but for Xiao He right now, time was money.

Moreover, Xiao He knew that even if Jack could hold his own against the mermaid monster for a while, he would eventually have to take action himself to completely defeat it. So it was better to save time and make his own move first.

At the same time, looking at the rapidly approaching mermaid monster, Xiao He took a step forward and quickly closed in on it.

His flesh-and-blood blade, transformed from his arm, emitted a piercing whistling sound as it sliced ​​through the air.

At this moment, the mermaid monster also realized that something was wrong.

It clearly wanted to eat the big fish that was the same size as itself, so how come there's suddenly a big fish that's even bigger than itself?

Although in the hunting rules of the deep sea, large fish do not necessarily mean that they are more powerful than some relatively "small" fish, after all, nothing is absolute.

However, in the deep sea, large fish will inevitably instill fear in some smaller fish.

This is the law of the deep sea, and also the instinct of fear etched into the genes of this mermaid monster.

Although the mermaid monster's pitiful intelligence didn't tell it why a small shrimp could suddenly turn into a great white shark, it instantly cowered when it realized that the aura emanating from Xiao He was several times stronger than its own.

Driven by its instinct for fear, it immediately stopped attacking and turned around to try to escape. However, Xiao He was not about to let go of this "big fish" that was almost within his grasp.

"It's too late to run away now. Stop it."

Xiao He shouted loudly at Jack, who had already stood up from the ground.

Although he was a bit faster than Jack, the mermaid monster was indeed a "speed type" fighter. Even he felt like he couldn't catch up, especially when the monster started to run for its life, its speed increased even more.

However, the mermaid monster seemed to have lost its sense of reason under the shadow of fear, and actually fled in Jack's direction.

Upon hearing Xiao He's words, Jack, who had just stood up, turned around and saw the mermaid monster, which had initially been full of confidence, now rushing towards him like a stray dog.

Seeing this, Jack didn't hesitate at all, directly using his massive body to block the merman monster's escape route.

He was indeed not as fast as the mermaid monster, but all he had to do was interfere or stop it, which was a very simple task.

Perhaps he only needs to stand here and do nothing, and the other party will lose their composure on their own.

Sure enough, when the mermaid monster saw Jack blocking its way, it was stunned for a moment. Then, without thinking, it immediately changed its direction of escape and dodged to the side on the instinct for survival.

Seeing this, Jack naturally took off after him.

However, just as the mermaid monster was stunned, Xiao He suddenly closed the distance between them.

At this moment, the fleeing mermaid monster also noticed Xiao He getting closer and closer behind it. Although Jack, who was also following behind it, would occasionally pick up stones from the ground and throw them at it, the mermaid monster was obviously not afraid of Jack. The only person it was afraid of was Xiao He.

It was at this moment that...

pat!

A brick struck the merman monster like a bomb, abruptly halting its movements.

As for the one who threw the brick, it was naturally Jack, who was in third place in the "chase". Speaking of which, he learned this brick-throwing skill from a retired veteran who was originally a shepherd. It is said that the veteran was very accurate when he threw the bombs.

And in that short pause, Xiao He had already quietly arrived behind it.

Swish!

A flash of light, a glint of cold steel!

Just as Xiao He was about to cut off the mermaid monster's head, it seemed like a desperate rabbit, knowing it was doomed, and wanted to bite Xiao He before it died.

Suddenly it turned around, roared at Xiao He, and then used its bony arm to stab at Xiao He's head.

Seeing this seemingly futile attempt to stop a chariot, Xiao He couldn't help but chuckle.

However, his opponent was faster than him, so he could only dodge at his current fastest speed. During this process, he also used his flesh-and-blood blade to cut open the mermaid monster's abdomen.

In an instant, along with the falling off of some translucent scales, a blue-green liquid resembling blood gushed from the opponent's abdomen.

Then, Xiao He suddenly turned around, swung his flesh-and-blood blade, and delivered a fatal blow, decisively severing the head of the mermaid monster.

The headless body swayed a few times before collapsing helplessly into a pool of blood. In an instant, a bloody scent enveloped the city streets.

The mermaid monster didn't even have time to utter a mournful howl before Xiao He ended its life.

Jack walked up to Xiao He and examined the headless corpse on the ground. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, turned to Xiao He, and said, "By the way, when I was fighting this monster, I smelled two living people coming from the warehouse next door. Should we...?"

Xiao He shook his head: "No, you know the consequences of doing that. I don't want people to take my good intentions for granted again."

Upon hearing this, Jack fell silent for a moment and ultimately said nothing more.

The eerie monster on this street is dead, so the other party should be out of danger.

At this moment, Xiao He, after examining the mermaid monster's corpse, resumed his journey to the hospital, while Jack transformed back into a brown bear doll and followed behind him.

Meanwhile, several uninvited guests also barged into the hospital where the two were headed.

"Who's there?"
