Artificial Monster

Not long after.

Luo Yan realized that the creature was not a bird of prey at all.

It was a monster.

According to data obtained from the ' Eye of True Suchness '.

The creature was nearly three meters long and roughly human-shaped.

It has bat-like wings on its back, and when fully extended, its wingspan exceeds five meters.

It has a head that resembles a human but also incorporates features of a bat.

Long arms and legs.

Its entire body is bluish-gray and it has no hair.

On his left shoulder, there is a number branded: 09!

Could this thing be man-made?

Otherwise, how could there be digital branding?

In addition, this thing also has a biological gray glow and information threads.

Luo Yan focused his mind, trying to read the monster's information.

"Sound waves... petrify..."

The skill set is relatively simple.

But this thing is like a miniature version of a giant beast.

At this moment, Luo Yan remembered that on the way to Qingyang City, the Black Tide Company captured refugees at a Surface Base.

They said it was going to be sent to some laboratory.

Could this monster be from the so-called laboratory?

Is Chu Zhao secretly conducting some illegal research?

One question after another flashed through my mind.

But right now, Luo Yan doesn't have time to think about these issues.

A monster resembling a gargoyle has arrived.

It lunged at the aerial cable car, opening its mouth to let out a silent roar.

Although no sound was heard, visible sound waves appeared in the space, rapidly spreading towards the aerial cable car.

Luo Yan leaped to his feet.

They seemed to have forgotten that they were in mid-air, at least fifty meters above the ground.

The sound waves enveloped the cable car.

moment.

The cable car shook violently, windows shattered and sprayed water, and the cabin deformed.

It felt as if an invisible giant was forcefully kneading it.

at the same time.

Luo Yan's power was exhausted, and he fell into disarray.

But it landed on the back of the gargoyle.

He used the ' Light Body Model,' or 'prophet.'

This is the name Luo Yan gave to the measurement model.

With the help of the 'Prophet', he knew the 'Gargoyle's' flight path in advance.

Only then did he dare to decisively jump from the cable car.

at the same time.

The gargoyle suddenly sank and plummeted downwards.

But in an instant, it flapped its wings Gao Fei.

Luo Yan reversed the sword and plunged it into the monster's back.

Surprisingly, the gargoyle had no armor, yet its skin was as hard as real rock.

Luo Yan thrust forcefully.

The sword only penetrated about a third of the way.

It was far from what he had imagined—a slip without a handle.

The gargoyle screamed in pain, but its speed increased instead of decreasing, and it became almost perpendicular to the ground.

Luo Yan could only cling tightly to the sword hilt, hanging himself on the monster's body.

Suddenly, the gargoyle started spinning, instantly throwing Luo Yan and his sword away.

Fortunately, Qingyang City has a layered mountainous structure.

After being thrown out, Luo Yan crashed into a hillside and slid to a rooftop.

Raise your head.

The gargoyle swooped down and reached out its claws to grab it.

Luo Yan rolled sideways along the ground to avoid the claw attack.

The monster's claws dug sparks from the ground, tearing several claw marks into the tiled rooftop.

Furthermore, after the claws touched the ground, a grayish-white substance appeared, spread, and diffused.

This creates an irregular patch of stone skin near the claw marks.

'Petrification'!

This monster only has two abilities.

However, the mouth's ability to release 'sound waves' and the claws' ability to inflict 'petrification' make it quite troublesome.

Luo Yan immediately jumped off the rooftop, came to the ground, and crawled into a shrubbery used for urban landscaping.

He hoped to use the various obstacles on the ground to escape the monster.

Unexpectedly, the gargoyle's huge nostrils twitched, as if it had smelled something, and it suddenly pounced into the bushes.

[A book-reading app recommended to me by a friend of ten years, Yeguo Reading! It's damn good! I use it to read aloud and listen to books while driving or before bed to pass the time. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu]

Luo Yan's heart sank.

The image of the aerial cable car being hit by Smoke Grenade flashed through my mind.

Could it be that the smoke contained no poison, but had a peculiar odor?

Could this monster be used for locking onto and tracking?

I didn't have time to think about it.

Luo Yan left the bushes, leaped off a hillside, and landed on a red-roofed roof.

Just then, his phone rang; he had already received the route map sent by Guan Qi.

Luo Yan ran quickly, leaping from one rooftop to another.

The houses here are very close together; although it's not a bustling area, the houses are less than a meter apart.

He can easily leap and run across various rooftops, becoming a night stalker soaring through the heights.

At the same time, Luo Yan took out his phone and memorized the route map.

The wind howled behind me.

Luo Yan turned around and glanced back.

The monster opened its mouth and let out another silent roar.

The sound waves descended, landing on rooftops one after another, causing the sloping roofs to deform and shatter one after another.

The residents inside the house gasped and peered out.

As the gargoyle flew by, it stirred up Stone Wave.

They were about to catch up with Luo Yan.

Luo Yan suddenly jumped off the building.

They landed in an alley.

Above his head, the gargoyle whizzed past, and roof fragments blasted apart by the sonic boom rained down like raindrops.

But Luo Yan had already arrived at a mountain road.

Just then, someone rode by on a motorcycle on the mountain road.

Luo Yan reached out and lifted the rider off the motorcycle.

Amid the rider's screams, Luo Yan grabbed the motorcycle with his other hand and used the momentum to pull himself up.

He then twisted the throttle, causing the motorcycle's front wheel to lift up before slamming back down.

Then it sped off into the bustling city.

After driving for a while...

Luo Yan saw a bluish-gray shadow in the rearview mirror.

The gargoyles are coming again.

In the blink of an eye.

The bustling city center is in sight.

Luo Yan rushed in and, following Guan Qi's route, entered a memorial archway.

Behind the antique-style archway lies a pedestrian street, which is currently at its busiest.

The streets were lined with various night stalls, bustling with people.

Luo Yan drove his motorcycle into the crowd, immediately eliciting screams and curses.

Luo Yan ignored him and glanced in the rearview mirror; the 'gargoyle' hadn't followed.

He thought to himself that the Chu Family was still somewhat cautious.

The thought had just surfaced.

Suddenly, there was a whooshing sound overhead.

Then a strong wind blew by, lifting the skirts of countless young girls on the street, causing a gasp of surprise.

This also caused many men to crash into streetlights.

Luo Yan looked up.

But the gargoyle flew past rapidly in the sky, then turned back on the other side of the street and rushed towards the ground.

What is that?

"A monster!"

The long street immediately descended into chaos.

People rushed into the houses and shops on both sides of the street, seeking protection.

Luo Yan never expected the Chu Family to be so crazy, letting the monster chase them into the bustling city.

At this moment, the monster opened its mouth and roared, releasing 'sound waves' that caused the bluestone bricks on the deserted street to explode, creating a wave of Stone Wave swept towards Luo Yan.

Luo Yan twisted the throttle to its limit, and the motorcycle roared forward, just before the collision.

Luo Yan suddenly lifted the front of the motorcycle and then jumped off.

Driven by inertia, the locomotive roared past the Stone Wave and crashed into the sound waves.

The vehicle suddenly deformed, followed by a flash of fire and a violent explosion.

The gargoyle was blasted away and crashed heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a while.

Luo Yan turned and ran, while simultaneously circulating his internal Primal Energy, making it operate in a certain way.
