Aberrant Creature Deluxe Package (Six Thousand Five Hundred Words)

"Whoosh..."

Neither side had much time for thought or analysis. From the moment the Mysterious Source was trapped in Black Gate City, all that remained was naked slaughter and confrontation. After Mister Ye's power descended upon this battlefield, it showed no mercy. The surrounding buildings, roads, and abandoned factories melted away piece by piece, turning into twisted flesh and blood bodies under his control.

Thick, lightning-like fleshy tentacles continuously ripped from the surrounding clumps of flesh, transforming into enormous, terrifying world-destroying tentacles that fiercely swept across half the town. Including Yang Jia, all nine Branders lost their footing and were sent flying. Faced with the omnipresent power controlled by Mister Ye, even their branded bodies could not withstand it all.

The power of the brand can completely neutralize and transform the power in one direction, but it is necessary to guard against being ambushed. Therefore, they also need to combine it with movement techniques or other Enhancement Element in order to maximize their own power. However, when faced with Mister Ye's attack, which does not follow the path of small and refined but rather the path of rough and violent power, even they were suddenly disrupted.

As the group of Branders scrambled to their feet and scattered, three Eye of the Seer rolled and tumbled above Xiao Xiao's head.

Suddenly, all three eyes snapped open and fixed their gaze on one person.

This was the opponent that Xiao Xiao judged and chose in an instant, the most suitable one to strike against.

To avoid Mister Ye's attack, the man leaped high into the air and lunged at a rooftop three or four meters away. But Xiao Xiao remained still and secretly gave the order, and the three-headed hellhound beneath his feet suddenly rushed toward him.

The two heads in the middle and on the right opened their mouths and roared, spewing out Hellfire Breath.

The leftmost head is shouting insults, inflicting extremely humiliating psychological damage on the other party.

"Whoosh!"

The opponent reacted extremely quickly. While in mid-air, he realized that his landing point was already a sea of fire. He immediately waved his hand and threw out an invisible thread that clung to another building. He was about to pull his body over when, behind Xiao Xiao, the violently writhing shadow of the Butcher let out a silent roar, followed by the rapidly spinning teeth of a chainsaw that slashed viciously at him.

While suspended in mid-air with no leverage, this person reacted extremely quickly, and suddenly a door-shaped ripple appeared in front of him.

"Sizzle..."

The saw teeth cut into the door-shaped ripples, but did not sever him instantly. The door-shaped ripples acted like a shield, blocking the chainsaw. Instead, they were pushed back by the chainsaw's force. During this process, the power contained in the chainsaw weakened rapidly, while dark red patterns quickly appeared on his body behind the door-shaped ripples, and the power contained within him grew stronger and stronger.

Seeing the tide turning, Xiao Xiao not only lost a crucial blow, but also had to personally escort his opponent to safety.

Suddenly, a furious shout rang out, "Ah-da..."

Behind the Branders, Ruan Ruan, wearing a Ruan Ruan skirt, jumped into the air, raised her right fist, breathed on it, and then pulled her fist back. All her strength quickly gathered in her fist, just like a bow rapidly accumulating power.

The next moment, Ruan Ruan suddenly threw a punch at the unsuspecting Branders.

This was the first time Xiao Xiao had ever witnessed a third-stage powerhouse unleash their full power.

It was as if she had punched a hole in the air, and a distorted ripple could be vaguely seen running straight through the back of the Branders.

"Snap!"

But at that very moment, the one Branders suddenly turned around.

The dark red ripples of power he had plundered from the Butcher suddenly converged on his left hand. In an instant, his left hand transformed into a strange shape covered with dark red patterns. He then clenched it into a fist and slammed it into Ruan Ruan blow coming from behind. The air shattered like glass, and both of their bodies jolted as they were sent flying.

He actually used the Butcher's strength to send Ruan Ruan flying in a direct confrontation.

Damn it!

Ruan Ruan actually lost to her opponent in a contest of brute force, and was so angry that she was furious and started cursing.

Iron chains materialized around him, rattling loudly, as if to bind him.

"Not good..."

Upon seeing this scene, both Xiao Xiao and Little Four, who was hiding deep below, were startled.

Ruan Ruan is getting all worked up again.

However, one of them was hidden in the shadows, and the other was separated from the other by a door. Neither of them could stop Ruan Ruan at this moment. Just then, before Ruan Ruan's chains could actually wrap around the other, a sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out from below. It came extremely abruptly. Ruan Ruan was also caught off guard. Before the chains could wrap around the other, she was forced to retreat and then glared angrily down.

What do you want to do?

The ones who stopped her from below were the Serpent Sisters.

Are you stupid?

The Serpent Sisters haven't shown a significant improvement in strength, but as veteran knights of Black Gate City, they still possess considerable combat experience. They couldn't help but focus their attention and hurl insults at Ruan Ruan, "You bound him with Prisoner Chains... are you trying to die?"

Ruan Ruan was embarrassed after being mercilessly scolded, and only then did she realize what had happened.

Once she's entangled with her opponent and trapped them in her cage, no one else can intervene. She'll have no choice but to fight to the death, and only one of them can escape the cage alive. But the crucial point is that she's far from being a match for the current Branders. Although she's already killed one of the third-in-command Red Heart Knight of City of Rest since she appeared, that was a severely weakened third-in-command.

At that time, even the power of the brand was stripped away from that person.

As for now...

The power of the brand has not only returned, but the power of each of them has also reached its peak.

Ruan Ruan is bound to the other party, there is only one outcome: she will be beaten to death by the other party.

Moreover, Xiao Xiao and the others couldn't help her and could only watch helplessly as she was beaten to death.

"That was close..."

Seeing that Ruan Ruan had been stopped, Xiao Xiao breathed a slight sigh of relief. In the nick of time, he locked onto his opponent again. Seeing that the opponent's body was disrupted by Ruan Ruan and he was falling from mid-air, he also hurriedly activated his mind. In an instant, the flames of the three-headed hellhound and the chainsaw in the Butcher's hand simultaneously cut towards the opponent. The enormous force was so great that even the brand could not be dispelled for a moment.

The opponent landed awkwardly, barely managing to withstand both offensive tactics.

But at that very moment, a cold glint flashed behind him, and a sharp blade slashed toward his throat.

The door-shaped brand was in front of him, but the knife came from behind him.

He was caught completely off guard and the knife was already at his neck.

Damn it!

Faced with this sudden attack, he was both shocked and terrified. In a flash, he raised his left arm to block his throat, whereupon a horrific gash was slashed open. Without thinking, he tilted the door-shaped brand in front of him, and the power of the chainsaw and hellhound surged through the door, rushing towards the person who had assassinated him from behind. Unfortunately, the terrifying power swept away the person, and he disappeared without a trace.

"The opportunity has arrived..."

Forced to move the door blocking his way, Xiao Xiao instantly pounced down from the top of the hellhound's head and dodged forward.

"Click..."

The other party suddenly realized that Little Four, who had assassinated him, had disappeared. Just as he was about to transfer the power of the brand back, Xiao Xiao had already closed in on him.

The silver pistol was pressed directly against his forehead.

His movements suddenly slowed, and he looked up in disbelief, staring blankly at Xiao Xiao.

"I've already apologized..."

Xiao Xiao stared at him expressionlessly, then suddenly pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

Already preoccupied with the surrounding battlefield and focused solely on firing a shot, the Silver Revolver finally had its chance. The immense power it had been accumulating erupted instantly, blasting a terrifying hole in the head of the Branders.

One less Branders.

Of the last nine Branders, only eight remain.

But Xiao Xiao felt no joy at all; instead, his heart sank slightly.

The current Branders are truly terrifying. I just took advantage of Mister Ye dividing the battlefield to try and eliminate one of them quickly, so I chose the one among these Branders who seemed the easiest to deal with. But unexpectedly, even such a target required the combined efforts of myself, Ruan Ruan, Little Four, the Serpent Sisters, and others to finally kill him...

How terrifying must the other eight be?

With each Branders One who dies, the remaining ones become stronger. How are they supposed to kill them?

Splash...

Just as Xiao Xiao was pondering these questions, a series of sounds of buildings collapsing and crumbling suddenly rang out around him. Then, he saw Yang Jia and the others being separated and forced back by the power accumulated by Mister Ye. After five or six seconds, they finally regained the initiative and appeared on the vicinity of the battlefield. However, they had only been affected and disturbed, and there was not a single scratch on their bodies.

Even with Mister Ye. Ye's ferocious power, he could only cause them some trouble at this moment, but could not harm them.

Eight figures stood at varying heights, their cold gazes exuding an oppressive aura.

"Oops..."

Little Four hugged his rag doll and quietly shrank into the trash can.

Ruan Ruan, who had just been very Ruan Ruan, suddenly felt a chill and became somewhat docile.

The Serpent Sisters fell silent.

Not far away, Red Eyes Ling Ping and Old Zhou Under the Bridge, who were rushing back to the battlefield, suddenly paused and slowed down.

Their seasoned experience allowed them to perceive certain changes in the situation.

Not only did they not want to rush back, they were even considering whether to meet up for tea first.

"Continue!"

Yang Jia's icy voice rang out as she turned her gaze away from the body of the Branders that Xiao Xiao had just killed in the chaos.

"If you want to keep killing, you can kill a few more, it doesn't matter if you kill them all."

She spoke indifferently, her eyes vacant. Xiao Xiao vaguely felt that through those eyes, another will was watching him. "We can give you a chance to resist, it just depends on whether you have the ability to kill more of our people..."

"Hehe..."

Suddenly, cold laughter rang out from all around. These Branders didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

The Branders all share a dream: that all their companions will die, leaving only themselves.

Now, there seemed to be a hint of contempt in their eyes as they looked at Xiao Xiao. The desire to see Xiao Xiao retaliate again and kill one or two of them was genuine. In any case, they were all very certain that they wouldn't be the next to die, and the benefits they would gain if others died were quite tangible...

Many eyes secretly turned to Xiao Xiao.

A chilling feeling of being looked down upon and watched by the other party arose in Xiao Xiao's heart.

From the very beginning, he was the prey, and it was the other party who wanted to kill him that led to all this. But Xiao Xiao took the initiative and secretly laid a trap to imprison the Mysterious Source, which once reversed the situation, making it seem as if he was the one who was about to hunt down the prey.

But when he faced the eight Branders, his heart sank slightly once again.

I feel like I'm back in the position of being hunted once again.

But this seems inevitable. Logically, since Xiao Xiao has formulated a plan, it must be a series of interconnected steps, with corresponding preparations made for each step. However, in reality, because the incident happened so suddenly, Xiao Xiao only had the most basic ideas. The execution of the plan had to be somewhat reactive, like reacting to each move as it came. Now, it seems that this approach is becoming increasingly difficult to counter...

"Could it be..."

The atmosphere instantly froze, sinking to rock bottom. Xiao Xiao also had a sudden thought, and something came to mind.

But at that moment, a slight noise suddenly startled everyone present.

"Wow, it's so lively..."

"..."

The sound was crisp and curious, completely different from the oppressive and chaotic atmosphere of the battlefield.

Instantly, countless eyes turned toward the source of the sound, and there stood a girl in a pink dress, fluffy slippers, and Rabbit Ears, standing gracefully in the middle of the battlefield. Behind her, a number of people with curious and scrutinizing expressions emerged one after another from the Gate of Flesh and Blood.

They peered around, their faces full of curiosity. Some had sinister expressions, others looked bewildered, and some, smelling the deep stench of blood from the battlefield and seeing the unreal fleshy tentacles and the terrifying, bizarre three-headed hellhound, began to show excitement.

"Hey bro, you're really not being fair..."

The first to speak was the girl wearing Rabbit Ears.

She seemed quite dissatisfied, frowning as she complained to Xiao Xiao, "You're secretly having a party here without inviting me?"

Xiao Xiao looked somewhat bewildered. "Why is she here?"

Why are Rabbit Ears here?

Behind her... although Xiao Xiao didn't recognize most of them, he occasionally saw them at the bar and quickly realized that most of the others were regulars at his bar, and quite a few were VIPs...

How did they end up here too?

"Who is she?"

Just then, a cold voice interrupted Xiao Xiao's doubts.

Yang Jia also noticed these people, frowned, glanced at the Rabbit Ears, and suddenly looked at Xiao Xiao.

"Ah?"

Xiao Xiao was taken aback and quickly explained, "Our boss pays salaries."

"I'm not really close to her. Although she gave me a bar, we only have purely financial dealings."

"..."

"Snort!"

Yang Jia's expression was indifferent as he swept his gaze across the battlefield. "Why are these indigenous people involved?"

"I want to know too..."

Xiao Xiao was also very troubled. Why did these people come here?

Because of that door?

These guys are incredibly audacious! They dared to squeeze through an unreasonable door of flesh and blood?

Most importantly, these are all my clients! If they all die here...

"Money transactions?"

Just as he was thinking, a dissatisfied voice suddenly rang out from below. It was Rabbit Ears. She looked at Xiao Xiao incredulously and said, "Little brother, isn't it a bit too unethical of you to describe our relationship like that?"

"?"

Xiao Xiao was speechless for a moment: At a time like this, you shouldn't try to make your presence felt so much, okay?

"So..."

But before Xiao Xiao could interrupt, Yang Jia suddenly asked coldly, "What exactly is your relationship with him?"

Xiao Xiao immediately glanced at Yang Jia.

From Yang Jia's perspective, she was only focused on killing herself at that moment. So, when a group of inappropriate people suddenly appeared on the battlefield, it would be perfectly reasonable for her, as the commander of the opposing side, to inquire about their identities, especially their relationship with her, and then determine whether they were friend or foe, and whether it was necessary to eliminate them... that's probably the case.

Xiao Xiao was still a little nervous, worried that the Rabbit Boss was talking nonsense.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the Rabbit Boss looked up at Yang Jia and smiled, saying, "It's a superior-subordinate relationship."

"I'm the boss, and he's my underling who works for me."

"..."

As he spoke, a strange smile appeared on his face, his gaze sweeping lightly over Xiao Xiao, and he chuckled softly:

"Knowing that my little brother is being attacked, how can I, as the BOSS, not come to his aid?"

"..."

"..."

Such an answer left Yang Jia momentarily stunned.

Even Xiao Xiao was suddenly startled, quite taken aback:

"You're just an ordinary criminal from the indigenous community, and you come here to tell me all this on a battlefield in a foreign land..."

"... Isn't this a bit too much?"

"..."

He realized that the Rabbit Boss had said the wrong thing and was probably about to get himself into trouble.

He didn't want her to die, but the key was that he was already at a disadvantage on this battlefield, so how could he protect her?

"Bang!"

Just as I was thinking this, someone from the group of Branders made a move.

Although the Branders acknowledged Yang Jia as their commander, none of them considered themselves inferior to her. They didn't need to listen to her on trivial matters. Some were already dissatisfied with the situation, as she was still speaking slowly and deliberately. They didn't want these obviously natives to affect their hunting plans, so they didn't even bother to greet her and suddenly attacked her.

A bullet flew to the Rabbit Boss's doorstep without warning.

Xiao Xiao's heart sank suddenly, and he was in a state of Mind Burst, thinking about how to save her life.

But he only pondered it and ultimately did nothing.

Because he was caught in Mind Burst, he immediately noticed the strange changes on the Rabbit Ears.

Her pupils contracted slightly as the bullet reached her cheek.

An invisible spiritual force was released instantly, as if the space around her had stopped. Of course, this was only from Xiao Xiao's perspective. Because of his powerful perception and Mind Burst, he saw the stagnation and the slow, indescribable, but truly astonishing and even somewhat shocking scene...

As the spiritual power was released, the skin on the Rabbit Boss's body began to crack little by little.

Strands of blood-red threads flowed from her body, some seeping into the ground, others burrowing into the bodies of other bar patrons behind her. The appearance of these threads was as if they had turned on some kind of switch within these patrons.

They clearly showed different changes in their expressions.

Some people grew increasingly excited, some breathed heavily, and some slowly began to grin from ear to ear...

Splash...

Xiao Xiao saw that someone's body suddenly split into pieces, turning into a bright red flower of flesh and blood with red stamens.

Some people quickly curled up, growing sharp claws and fangs, and a long, blood-red tail.

Countless blood-red vines began to sprout from inside some people's bodies.

Some people's bodies began to swell, veins bulging, and a terrifying, furious power surged within them...

"Aberrant Creature..."

Xiao Xiao stared in disbelief at the scene before him: the customers in his bar were turning into Aberrant Creature.

All sorts of bizarre Aberrant Creature.

Even if you wander around the city every day for a whole year, you probably couldn't gather as many Aberrant Creature as they do. The most important thing is that Xiao Xiao can see that the Aberrant Creature they have transformed into are all exceptionally terrifying and have exceptionally perfect forms. At first glance, it's like a perfect Aberrant Creature exhibition hall...

No wonder the Rabbit Boss started by talking about a party; she really brought people over to throw a party?

But if this happens, will my bar have to close down immediately?

All the customers are gone...

"Whoosh..."

In Xiao Xiao's view, everything was developing gradually and chaotically, yet with a clear pattern.

But to others, the scene suddenly descended into chaos with the appearance of that bullet. The Rabbit Boss was hit in the cheek, and most of her face was torn off, but her head only tilted back slightly before straightening up again. A cruel and excited look appeared in her eyes, and everyone around her began to show that shocking change.

"Giggle..."

She suddenly heard a strange, hollow laugh coming from his mouth, and her body abruptly moved closer to the Branders.

The countless threads floating inside his body burrowed into the other's body.

The next moment, the countless Aberrant Creature seemed to awaken from a dream and surged towards the eight Branders. Some were laughing wildly, some were screaming, and some were crawling rapidly on the ground. The entire area was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The party's starting!

"Was this also part of your plan?"

Caught off guard, the entire battlefield suddenly descended into chaos, Yang Jia looked at Xiao Xiao in disbelief.

But Xiao Xiao's expression was one of utter innocence. "Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?"

He himself couldn't quite explain the scene before him. He saw this group of Aberrant Creature... no, they were originally his premium clients, all transformed into Aberrant Creature in agony and madness, engulfing the Branders like an ocean. He watched as each of them possessed a different mutated form and ability, painting this battlefield with a mad and twisted color...

An unexpected advantage was presented to them.

But he didn't know how it came about...

"Mr. Xiao, there's no need to thank me..."

Until, suddenly, the Shepherds's voice rang in his ears through a strange vibration.

"It's you?"

Xiao Xiao suddenly realized. "You arranged this?"

"I?"

Unexpectedly, the Shepherds's reaction was also somewhat stunned, and he said speechlessly, "It was Mingming you, wasn't it?"

"I've also run breeding farm projects, but none of them are on the scale of yours. The breeding farm projects I did back then were just about picking one or two potentially mutated animals and accelerating their growth to observe them. But you, in the Iceberg Bar, have created such a large base where monsters and perverts gather. We wouldn't even dare to imagine doing something like that..."

"..."

The Shepherds's voice was filled with admiration. "We're just raising livestock, but you're raising poisonous insects..."

"In the end, I did use second-generation test subjects to help you mature faster."

"But this Hell Legion, a veritable deluxe package of Aberrant Creature, is all thanks to you..."
