A Life of Attributes Starting as a Nobleman in the Republic of China Era

His limbs were getting thicker, his fingers were getting longer, and his nails were getting blacker and more curved, turning into sharp claws.

Behind him, a thick tail burst forth from his body, dripping with blood and bits of flesh, and slammed heavily onto the ground, shattering the bluestone slabs.

His head was deformed, his mouth protruded forward, and his teeth turned into rows of sharp fangs. A forked tongue protruded from his mouth, hissing.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Jian disappeared, replaced by a huge, lizard-like monster.

It was over two zhang long, covered with greenish-blue scales, with limbs as thick as pillars, sharp claws deeply embedded in the ground, and a long tail trailing behind it. With a gentle sweep, it could smash a millstone-sized rock into dust.

On its back, a row of bony spurs extends from the top of its head to the tip of its tail, gleaming with a cold, eerie light under the moonlight.

Its eyes, golden vertical pupils, were fixed on Sun Congzhou and Chen Che, filled with primal savagery and murderous intent.

The wounds that had been squeezed out of the weapons were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The flesh and blood writhed, and the scales regenerated, as if it had never been injured.

Chen Che's fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, but his mind was completely blank.

This is a real monster.

The monitor lizard moved its limbs and approached Chen Che and Sun Congzhou.

Despite its large size, it moves incredibly fast, and the ground trembles with every step it takes.

Chen San and Yu Ban struggled to their feet, wanting to step forward and stop them.

With a flick of its tail, the giant lizard sent the two flying, crashing heavily into the ruins, where they fell silent.

"Chen San! Yu Ban!" Chen Che's eyes were bloodshot.

The monitor lizard has arrived.

It lowered its head, its golden vertical pupils staring down at Chen Che and Sun Congzhou as if they were two ants.

The monitor lizard's mouth split open, revealing an extremely eerie "smile".

With a sudden burst of power from its massive limbs, the ground cracked with each step the giant lizard took.

Its body cast a bluish-black shadow in the moonlight as it scurried at an incredible speed toward the end of the street in the northwest.

"That direction... is the Peace Hotel!" Sun Congzhou exerted all his true energy, and after using the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin technique, he had already exhausted most of his power. He tried to struggle to get up, but he was willing but unable.

Chen Qichuan, Dong Yi, Qian Bo, Jinling and other relatives and friends brought by them, and even all the lovers and friends that the four major families knew in Shanghai, were all at the Peace Hotel.

Hundreds of lives lost.

Chen Che turned around abruptly, retrieved his tactical stick from the ruins, and rushed towards Yu Ban's position.

Yu Ban's chest was collapsed and blood was flowing from his seven orifices, but he was still breathing.

Chen Che gritted his teeth, reached out and broke the shotgun from Yu Ban's hand, then took out a few bullets and loaded them into the chamber.

Chen Che stood up, his anxious gaze sweeping over his surroundings.

The street was a mess, with rubble everywhere, but a black Ford sedan was parked crookedly on the side of the road a little further away at the corner. The car was covered in dust, the driver's side door was ajar, and the key was still in the lock.

Chen Che rushed over in three steps, sat in the driver's seat, gripped the steering wheel with both hands, and took a deep breath.

He casually placed the shotgun on the passenger seat and floored the accelerator.

The Ford roared off, its tires scraping sparks across the gravel road.

The night wind outside the car window felt like knives on my face, and the speedometer needle was jumping wildly.

Heading towards the Peace Hotel, the roars of the giant lizards came in waves, each accompanied by screams, cries, and gunshots. The various sounds mingled together like a symphony of hell.

Chen Che gripped the steering wheel tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands.

We're almost at the Bund.

The monitor lizard's roar grew closer and clearer.

Ten feet ahead, the giant lizard's thick tail swept across the street, tearing a rickshaw to pieces before it could dodge, and the driver vanished without a trace.

Chen Che clenched his teeth, and two hard ridges bulged out of his cheeks.

The giant lizard seemed to sense the movement behind it. Its ferocious head turned slightly, and its golden vertical pupils glanced at the large iron box that was chasing after it.

Chen Che took a deep breath, released his right hand from the steering wheel, grabbed the shotgun from the passenger seat, and stuck the barrel out the window.

The shotgun exploded, flashes of light streaked across the night sky, and dozens of lead bullets whistled out, striking the monitor lizard's left hind leg joint.

Although the monitor lizard did not bleed, its left hind leg buckled slightly, and its body tilted violently, crashing into the roadside guardrail.

"Bang!" Another shot, hitting the same spot.

The giant lizard let out a deafening roar, not a painful howl, but a furious roar.

The ferocious head slowly turned, its golden vertical pupils locking onto Chen Che inside the still-speeding Ford, its eyes filled only with the most primal bestiality.

Chen Che slammed on the brakes, the tires leaving four black tracks on the road, and the Ford sedan stopped less than five zhang away from the giant lizard.

Chen Che fired another shot at the giant lizard's head, then suddenly turned around.

The monitor lizard moved.

They didn't rush towards the hotel, but towards Chen Che.

Its speed was astonishing; a distance of five zhang (approximately 10 meters) was covered in the blink of an eye.

Chen Che only had time to see a bluish-black afterimage rushing towards him. The next second, the entire car body shook violently, and the giant lizard leaped onto the roof.

The metal roof of the car dented instantly, and the windshield shattered into countless fragments, which rained down on Chen Che. He raised his arm to protect his face, but the glass shards cut his arm, and blood trickled down his sleeve.

The giant lizard's head jutted out from the roof of the car and hung upside down in front of him.

The hideous face was less than three feet away from him, and the stench was overwhelming. His blood-stained face was reflected in the golden vertical pupils.

It opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth that were almost within reach.

Chen Che floored the accelerator and jerked the steering wheel.

At the same time, he fired another shot into the head of the giant lizard that was peering out of the car window.

The monitor lizard was temporarily unable to see and could only cling tightly to the roof of the car.

The Ford roared forward, not forward, but to the right, crashing into the guardrail that had been smashed by the monitor lizard.

It rushed towards the Huangpu River.

The monitor lizard sensed something was wrong and tried to leap up.

But the car was going too fast and had too much inertia.

The Ford sedan crashed through the broken guardrail and soared into the night sky.

In that instant, time seemed to stand still.

The moonlight shone on the river, making it sparkle.

In the distance, lights twinkled like stars, and a breeze swept across the Huangpu River, making a "whooshing" sound as the tide surged.

With the car suspended in mid-air, Chen Che could see the river surging three zhang below through the shattered windshield.

The monitor lizard raised its head high and let out a deafening roar.

That roar contained anger, resentment, and perhaps even a trace of fear.

The car crashed into the river.

boom!

The icy river water rushed in from all directions.

The immense impact slammed Chen Che into the seat, snapping the seatbelt buckle.

The river water poured into his mouth and nose, icy cold.

The monitor lizard's body was seen detached from the car roof and rolling around in the river.

Its limbs were paddling wildly, and its thick tail was slapping the river water. It was about to swim to the shore.

Chen Che smiled.

His consciousness lightly tapped the two characters 【沧溟】 on the panel.
