High Martial Arts 2077: I Rely on Beast Taming to Cultivate While Lying Down

Chapter 114 Rare Pet Beast - Void Race! Faceless Demon!

Upon hearing the words "Alien Demon," Yan Heng, the captain of the City Hunters, felt his hair stand on end, and his aura vortex accelerated wildly in an instant.

At the same time, the air less than two meters in front of him suddenly tore apart... a gray-black crack!

A figure slid out from the crack.

It was as if it were emerging from the bottom of the water, silently and without a trace, carrying a chilling elegance and... terror.

Alien Demon!

Slightly shorter than an adult male, its body is covered with a smooth, dark gray carapace, and it has no hair or facial features.

Its head is streamlined, with an elongated back of the head, resembling some kind of deep-sea creature.

Its limbs are long and powerful, with barbs growing at the joints.

What's most striking is its arms... which are two naturally formed scythes!

The carapace extends out from the forearm, forming a translucent, gleaming blade.

The blade's edge was as thin as a cicada's wing, and the dark gray liquid flowing inside could be clearly seen!

Void attribute!

High-level Warrior General!

The two sickles are crossed, and the blow is slashed down.

"boom-!

'

Yan Heng raised his sword and blocked the attack.

The blade of the Black Tiger Blade collided with the scythe, sparks flew, and the resulting shockwave of spiritual energy sent all the surrounding rocks flying.

powerful!

It's more than one order of magnitude stronger than the Black Moon Demon Wolf!

Yan Heng's feet carved two deep furrows in the ground, and he was pushed back three meters by the immense force.

He gritted his teeth and poured his inner energy into the blade, barely managing to block the attack.

But he did not linger in the fight.

Years of combat experience taught him that the Alien Demon never acts alone!

They are a squad of hunters!

really.

Three cracks simultaneously appeared at different locations on the second floor.

Three alien demons slid out of the crack, their scythe-like arms gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Zhou Yu stood at the top of the third-floor staircase, surrounded by several blue talismans.

The talisman spun rapidly on his body, forming an impenetrable protective shield.

Each talisman was engraved with intricate patterns and glowed with a faint, luminous light.

A monstrous alien silently appeared behind him.

The sickle cleaved down.

"Bang""

The attack struck the talisman, causing it to burst forth with a blinding blue light. The shockwave spread outwards, causing plaster to fall from the walls.

The patterns on the talisman flickered a few times, but the protection remained intact!

Zhou Yu did not turn around.

He pushed up his glasses with one hand, a faint smile even playing on his lips.

With the index finger of his other hand, he drew a talisman in the air, and blue spiritual energy condensed into a new talisman in the air, replenishing the protective shield's cycle.

Attack the alien demon simultaneously!

The burly teammate threw a punch from the side, the fist carrying a yellowish-brown aura, which slammed the alien demon into the wall.

"boom"

On the other side, the bald, fat man from the adventure team was also targeted by a mid-level alien demon of the warrior class.

His tan-colored defenses were instantly pierced by the scythe.

The blade sliced ​​through the energy afterimage at an angle from his shoulder and struck his waist.

"boom"

Energy Guardian!

The blue indicator light on the instrument's surface flashed wildly, and a thin film of light popped out, barely blocking the fatal blow.

The surface of the optical film was torn with fine cracks by the sickle, and the entire instrument emitted a hissing sound of electricity.

The bald fat man sobered up completely at that moment.

He scrambled backward, his back slamming against a pillar, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.

"There are alien demons! Warrior-level! A lot of them!"

His voice, shrill and piercing with fear, cried out, "Run!!!"

The adventurers were already quite drunk.

When the bearded man was woken up from his room, he was still cursing and reeking of alcohol.

Fortunately, they discovered that outside there was only a group of red phosphorus rats and various elite-level monsters!

Although there are quite a few, they are mostly soldiers, with few elites and even fewer generals.

Furthermore, having heard that the students had fired a signal flare from the school and that the city guards would be arriving soon, they figured they could just hold out and it would pass.

Can it be an alien demon?

This is a damn alien monster!

It has the Void attribute, can teleport, and can become invisible, and is specifically designed to bypass the front row and directly attack the back row.

This is what adventurers in the buffer city fear most.

In Buffer City Sixteen, more people die at the hands of alien demons each year than at the hands of regular monsters combined.

Not to mention this is a general-level one!

After the bald fat man shouted that, the entire adventurer team's defenses instantly fell apart!

The three henchmen immediately ran upstairs.

"Who dares to retreat!?"

Yan Heng suddenly turned around from the edge of the platform, his black tiger blade pointing at the group of adventurers who had lost their composure.

His voice, crackling with a powerful energy, exploded in the second-floor space: "Disrupting the battlefield at this moment will be treated as desertion!"

"When the city guards arrive, deal with them all!"

"This time, it's a signal flare fired by a high school student; a Spirit Martial Realm expert will definitely come! Or even a Divine Power Realm expert!"

His gaze shifted, pointing at the swarm of rats downstairs: "If this students get into trouble because of your problems..."

'

"If their advisor arrives at that time..."

"Can you withstand the wrath of experts at the Spirit Martial Realm and the Divine Power Realm?"

Dead!

The adventurers all turned to look at the bearded man.

His bearded face turned a deep liver color.

He gripped the axe handle tightly, his knuckles cracking.

The image from the fourth floor flashed through my mind: Su Chen standing in front of the campfire, tilting his head, saying, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't do it!"

The entire team of over a dozen people was insulted like dogs by a high school student, and they didn't dare to utter a single word!

Now... now we have to risk our lives to protect these students?

Why should I?!

"Aren't those students scared too?! They're even hiding in the back, completely defenseless!"

As he spoke, the bearded man looked at some of the people from the teams from Nanhu University and Beishan University.

Upon hearing this, the baby-faced girl who was suspected of being the target shrank back slightly inside Nanhu University. The others who had just shown fear and hesitation also lowered their heads slightly.

Seeing this, the bearded man raised his voice even louder: "Wasn't that kid supposed to be very arrogant?"

He gritted his teeth, forcing out the words, "He has the Earthly Element Book! Does he still need our help?"

Yan Heng blasted away a Black Moon Demon Wolf of the initial stage of the War General level with a single punch.

The wolf's head was deformed by his punch, and the whole wolf flew out and crashed through half of the wall.

He flicked the sticky substance off his fist and said coldly, "Didn't you also climb up the ranks step by step when you were young? You enjoyed the power, now it's time to fulfill your obligations! Otherwise, you'd better go and say these things to the Adventurers' Guild's judicial court!"

"Besides... the signal flare has been fired, reinforcements are on their way. Where are you going to escape now???"

The bearded man gripped the axe handle tightly, his chest heaving violently.

escape?

How do I escape?

Yan Heng is right.

This is a signal flare from a high school student.

Soon, the city guards and even the No. 1 Middle School arrived, with fully armed military off-road vehicles blocking the area downstairs, and the city guards surrounded the entire building.

When the time comes, once everyone is counted and given a statement, how can they possibly escape?

If we were to avoid battle now, we would be deserters!

If anything happens to the students, they will definitely be held accountable!

After all, although the intensity of the current battle is high, it is still within a controllable range.

If those alien monsters are left unchecked, many students will probably die!

If more than ten students die, they will definitely be implicated, and may even face imprisonment or the death penalty!

But damn it, he has a grudge against these students, why would he risk protecting them?

This world is too wicked!

The bearded man took a deep breath and lowered his voice to his teammates beside him, saying, "Take it easy later."

The tall, thin man paused for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered, "Captain, what if... what if something happens to those students?"

The city guards really do investigate...

"Hmph!" The bearded man's eyes darkened. "As long as we keep up the act and openly guard this place, what are we afraid of?"

He glanced at Su Chen, who was firing wildly beside him, and a grotesque smile appeared on his lips.

"It doesn't need to be too obvious, just leave a small gap."

"Let them suffer a little, just don't let anyone die."

"I don't believe there will be any problem if one or two die!"

The center of the second floor.

Su Chen fired a burst of bullets at the swarm of red phosphorus rats, catching a glimpse of their movements on the flank out of the corner of his eye.

He whirled around, his gun barrel sweeping across the room, emptying half a magazine of bullets in a rapid burst. The three red-scaled rats at the front were blown apart in the chest and abdomen.

But those behind were still surging forward!

Damn it!

These guys are playing dirty tricks!

Su Chen's gaze passed over the swarm of rats and landed on the bearded man.

Their gazes collided across a row of ruins.

The bearded man expressionlessly shifted his gaze, slowly chopping at a half-dead red phosphorus rat with his axe.

Su Chen looked away and didn't curse.

He changed the magazine, and his eyes turned cold.

Relying on yourself is worse than relying on anyone else!

If you can't even handle these mere red phosphorus rats, how dare you dream of getting rid of the Rat Immortal's puppet!?

Nearby, Zhang Yan pierced the throat of a red phosphorus rat with a gunshot, and hot blood splattered on half of her face.

She raised her hand to wipe her face, and out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the pressure on Su Chen's side had suddenly increased. She couldn't help but curse, "What are those damn adventurers doing? All the monsters are running this way!"

Before the words were finished, a piercing scream came from the south side.

Yang Xin is over there!

I've already emptied half a box of level 4 ammo; the muzzle is burning hot, and my hands are trembling.

The pressure isn't just on Su Chen's side.

The entire second-floor defense line is being squeezed little by little.

Just then, a message popped up at the edge of Su Chen's field of vision.

[Rare pet detected - Alien Demon]

His gaze fell on the alien demon that was locked in combat with Yan Heng.

Alien Demon (Status: Undergoing baptism by the power of the abyss)

Status: Contractable; Strength Rank: Mid-level Warrior (Fourth Realm); Racial Potential: Fifth Realm - Leader; Attribute: Void/Abyss; Growth Potential: 5.8

skill:

Void Walk 1v3 (1250/5000) – Short-distance spatial jump. Instantly tears through space to appear anywhere within 30 meters; cooldown time decreases with proficiency. While moving, the user is untargetable and ignores terrain and gravity.

.】

Walking in the void!

The reason why the alien demon is so difficult to deal with is because of this skill.

Su Chen quickly scanned the information on the panel and had already made a judgment in his mind.

Rare pets are not necessarily particularly valuable.

However, if an individual with special talents or mutation abilities appears within the alien demon group, their quality will be completely different.

It should exceed the "rare" grade.

However, this mid-level warrior-class alien demon clearly does not belong to that category!

His gaze lingered on the panel for an extra second.

A growth potential of 5.8 is considered average.

However, as a powerful single combat unit, it has no problem fighting against humans of the same level!

In the very same second that he was rapidly processing this information...

A black figure suddenly darted out from the shadow of the pillar on the side.

Faceless Demon!

Elite-level high-tier!

It leaped high into the air, its entire body suspended in mid-air on the second floor.

That face was facing Su Chen's direction... It had no features, only a taut membrane!

But Su Chen figured it out.

The membrane was trembling slightly, and the folds at the edges curved upwards.

That expression... it's one of excitement and exhilaration! Like a hunter spotting its prey.

Su Chen's expression darkened.

Mountain-Splitting Fist, Loading!

The faceless demon swooped down, its claws outstretched.

Its arms are covered with a layer of dark gray exoskeleton, and its five fingers have ten-centimeter-long serrated blades at the ends, which tear the air apart with a sharp whistling sound when it strikes.

Su Chen did not move aside.

He threw a punch at her.

"boom--!"

[Mountain-Splitting Fist Experience Points +15]

[Ming Jin Jue Experience Points +8]

[Overlord Body Technique Experience Points +5]

Fists and claws collided, and a shockwave of psionic energy spread out from the point of impact, sending all the rubble flying.

Using the momentum, the Faceless Demon gracefully flipped in mid-air, and the moment it landed, it pushed off with both legs, shifting its body to the side and behind Su Chen.

Extremely fast!

Almost as soon as it landed, its face suddenly swelled up by half a circle.

The membrane suddenly tightened, and a dark purple halo appeared on its surface.

The halo surged rapidly beneath the skin, as if some kind of energy was rolling across the face.

Then...

"Bang!"

A dark purple energy wave burst forth from the very center of its face.

Faceless Demon Light!

This energy has no shape; it is simply a mass of pure energy that explodes with a bang.

Su Chen gritted his teeth and used the Shadowless Step to avoid the main source of energy. At the same time, his energy protection device activated, absorbing the remaining energy.

The Faceless Demon attacks again...

Just as the Faceless Demon attacked Su Chen, fifteen meters away...

Wang Yichuan scurried through the swarm of red phosphorus rats.

He was so fast that only a gray-white afterimage could be seen.

The Thunder Spirit Orb hovered above his left shoulder, its surface, the size of a fist, constantly crackling with purple arcs of electricity.

At the same time, lightning crackled around the longsword in his hand.

Three red phosphorus rats pounced at the same time from the front.

Wang Yichuan dodged to the side.

The red-scaled rat's sharp claws brushed against the corner of his clothes, but missed.

He slid through the gap between two mice, his toes barely touching the ground, his whole body below the height from which the mice would pounce.

The longsword sliced ​​horizontally at a low angle in his hand, the blade passing over the belly of the central red phosphorus rat.

The lightning surged into the wound, burning the internal organs to a crisp.

A successful strike!

Without lingering in battle, their steps never falter, their movements as swift as the wind, they continue forward.

Not far away, a mid-level elite Black Moon Demon Wolf suddenly pounced.

It hid behind a pile of concrete debris and pounced out as he passed by.

The fangs were aimed at his throat.

Wang Yichuan saw it.

It was too late to dodge!

He slid downhill, his back touching the ground, brushing past the black wolf.

With the sword tip pointing upwards, it pierced the abdomen.

When the sword tip cut into the fur, it encountered the first layer of resistance.

It's psionic protection!

A thin layer of black energy membrane flowed around the Black Moon Demon Wolf's body. When the sword tip pierced it, it felt like piercing a piece of hard, tough cowhide.

Wang Yichuan gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

The Thunder Spirit Orb suddenly lit up.

A purple arc of electricity shot out from the surface of the Thunder Spirit Orb, flowing along his arm and into the sword.

The longsword was instantly enveloped in lightning, and the lightning surged into the black wolf's psionic protective layer along the sword tip, tearing a hole in the black membrane.

The sword tip pierced through! It penetrated the internal organs.

"Awoo~!"

The black wolf let out a mournful howl, its massive body crashing heavily to the ground. Its limbs twitched twice before it lay still.

Wang Yichuan drew his sword and exhaled.

Then he raised his head.

I happened to see Su Chen over there.

The face of the first faceless demon is glowing, and a dark purple halo surges forth once more.

And in the shadow of the pillar behind Su Chen, there was another one... larger, with a darker carapace and longer barbs...

Elite level peak!

Faceless Demon!
