Dragon Slayer X Brain-Eating Worm
"Roar roar roar!"
The Flying Dragon roared in agony, its Nen Aura erupting even more violently, its scales turning a deep, burning red.
However, after its tongue was removed, its roar became somewhat strange, losing its original majestic meaning.
This Flying Dragon's most powerful attack method was thus rendered useless.
"Quickly finish this! This big guy is rapidly recovering from its injuries; its Repair Cells are operating at full speed!"
Begel's urgent roar came from afar.
[Gene Rampage]
The Nen Aura burst from that opponent's Nen user was not just a simple berserk attack; "genes" were the key factor.
It's easy to see from his Nen ability that it was clearly tailor-made for these artificial beings.
Furthermore, his certain philosophies and worldview resonate strongly with these manipulated artificial beings.
This ability directly stimulates those organs and genes that are not yet fully integrated, and they are being rapidly activated at this moment.
The use of Nen Aura is merely a byproduct.
Using this technique, these monsters will lose their minds, but if they survive, they are very likely to become perfect creatures.
They will perfectly fuse various genes within their bodies, becoming true Disaster Beast.
The Flying Dragon before us is rapidly completing this process.
At this moment, Kevin also noticed something was wrong.
He saw that the Flying Dragon's jaw had closed up again, and some kind of ligament that had been broken had been repaired.
As Begel said, the battle must end as soon as possible.
Kevin stomped his foot hard, creating a large crater in the ground.
He charged straight at the Flying Dragon.
"Ha!"
The Flying Dragon seemed to have been waiting for Kevin's move; the guy's learning and growth rate in battle was astonishing.
Turn head, open mouth, close mouth.
It bit into Kevin's outstretched fist, its huge mouth swallowing his entire left arm whole, its teeth gripping Kevin's arm tightly as if trying to bite it off.
Fortunately, Kevin's protective hexagonal Nen Aura worked, stubbornly resisting the opponent's powerful bite force.
With his left arm bitten, Kevin immediately channeled a large amount of Nen Aura to reinforce his defense.
No, the opportunity is slipping away.
Kevin's eyes widened, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"You like to bite, right? Then you can have it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Nen Aura used for protection was instantly withdrawn, and the Flying Dragon took the opportunity to bite off Kevin's arm.
At the same time, most of the Nen Aura surged toward Kevin's right fist. The extreme emotions brought about by the battle and the full malice toward the Flying Dragon were all concentrated in this punch.
Kevin's right arm lashed out like a fully drawn bowstring.
"Vicious Seal!"
"Boom!"
This powerful punch compressed the air and landed heavily on Flying Dragon's face.
The immense power caused the Flying Dragon's scales to shatter instantly, and the hexagonal seal became deeply embedded in its flesh.
The Flying Dragon's eye and horn on one side were also shattered by the impact of this power.
His entire left cheek was completely sunken in, as if a hole had been punched into the huge dragon head.
Struck by this heavy blow, the Flying Dragon's entire body tilted as its head shook, and its mouth opened wide again, unable to close.
With a loud bang, the Flying Dragon crashed to the ground.
Another shot was fired.
The shot precisely blew out the dragon's other eye.
Flying Dragon has become completely blind.
At this moment, even the dragon's roar became hoarse. For some reason, it seemed to have lost control of its limbs and could only struggle weakly, unable to get up again.
"You're really resilient. After all those injections, you finally had a problem."
Kevin, with his missing arm, spat out a mouthful of saliva.
In fact, from the very beginning of the battle with the dragon, he had been secretly injecting it with anesthetic using a needle.
That's supposedly a super-strong anesthetic that can knock out a whale with a single injection; at least that's what the drug's description says.
As a result, this damned Flying Dragon finally reacted after he pricked it with three or four needles.
Of course, it's also possible that the effects of the drugs couldn't be combined, but he did use three or four different anesthetics.
All sorts of things, like elephant numbness, whale numbness, numbness of this and that numbness.
The effective drugs are normal products, while those with various problems are failed products.
But who says failed attempts are useless?
As a Phantom Beast Hunter, how can you not carry some anesthetics?
However, Kevin knew in his heart that it was no longer possible to capture the Flying Dragon alive, as its current state was still uncertain.
Its body is still growing and adapting, and the modified genes in its body must have the ability to break down toxins.
Can't you see it's struggling to get up?
If it weren't for that punch, the other person might be back on their feet by now.
Several more shots were fired.
This time, Begel accurately hit several vital parts of the Flying Dragon.
But this guy's gas gushing out was ridiculously excessive.
"What a pity, I guess I can only hunt you down!"
Kevin pushed off with both legs and flew straight into the air.
Meteor Impact!
He roared, and Kevin, descending from the sky, slammed his elbow, imbued with a large amount of Nen Aura, towards the Flying Dragon.
Seeing this exaggerated movement, Begel quickly put away his gun and jumped back, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
"Boom!"
The silver shockwave, carrying hexagonal Nen Aura and brimming with malice, slammed heavily into the Flying Dragon's neck.
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
The scales were shattered, blood and flesh splattered, and the bones inside were clearly visible, already crushed.
The Flying Dragon's spine was smashed off at its neck and separated from its body.
Flying Dragon's eyes rolled back, his mouth was wide open but he didn't move, and a lot of blood gushed from his mouth.
The massive body crashed to the ground.
Its bright red color gradually faded, and its silvery-gray scales became dull and lifeless.
The Nen Aura gradually dissipated until it completely disappeared.
It's dead.
Begel checked him over, then stepped forward and pulled Kevin off the Flying Dragon's neck.
Kevin was panting heavily.
Begel looked at Kevin's severed left arm; the wound had broken off at the shoulder, and the tearing marks were still visible.
He pondered for a moment, then walked to the dragon's mouth and, sure enough, saw the arm that hadn't been swallowed.
He reached into the dragon's mouth and pulled out his arm, which was covered in saliva and blood.
It's not very clean, but you'll have to make do.
Begel chuckled and made a small joke, offering his arm to Kevin.
"Wash it! Use Healing Potion!"
"All right."
As Begel spoke, he took out his Healing Potion from his waist and carefully cleaned his arm, especially the fleshy areas at the joints.
The topical Healing Potion has antibacterial properties.
Kevin took out a bottle of medicine and began cleaning his wounds.
After cleaning, Begel squatted down next to Kevin, held his arm with both hands, and carefully connected with him.
Kevin inserted the medicine into the Syringe and stabbed himself in the shoulder.
[Repair Potion]
He himself doesn't seem to have experienced it yet.
The medicine takes effect instantly.
The flesh on his arm began to writhe like tentacles, then connected with each other and became tightly intertwined.
Begel watched intently.
The interface has begun to heal, but some areas around it where flesh and blood are missing are visible, with scarlet pits appearing.
"So this is how it's repaired, not completely cured."
Begel seemed to understand the principle behind it all. Kevin drank another dose of the medicine, and as the healing process progressed, new flesh began to grow back on the pitted and uneven surfaces.
[Repair Potion] + [Healing Potion]
When used together, these two medications can almost completely heal wounds both inside and outside the body.
One repairs broken or fractured parts, another heals those missing or lost components.
Kevin let out a long sigh, stood up, raised and lowered his left arm; his fingers could still move, and he twitched them a few times.
"My movements are still a bit rusty, but they should be fine in a day or two."
Based on the introduction and experience, that should be the case.
"It's already very good, absolutely perfect. I underestimated your potions before. It seems I've hit the jackpot by cooperating with you."
Begel said with a smile.
He had truly witnessed the powerful effects of the other party's potion.
The therapeutic effect is truly remarkable; the combination of these two medications is simply wonderful.
At this moment, Locke also saw that the battle was over and flew down the hillside, carrying Shante on his back.
The two landed beside the Nen user was trapped in the net.
At this moment, the Nen user was trapped in a net, paralyzed by a paralysis needle, and severely injured, leaving him completely unresponsive, though he still had a faint breath left.
The bleeding from Shante's shoulder wound has stopped, and although it is healing, the process is somewhat slow.
Begel walked over, took out Repair Potion from his waist and fed it to Shante, then took out a bottle of Healing Potion and cleaned her wounds.
The blood hole began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"That's really impressive."
Shante could clearly feel his wounds healing, not only externally but also internally.
Even old injuries that were left over from before seem to be slowly improving.
"That's fantastic! That's amazing!"
She couldn't help but exclaim in admiration again.
She had thought she might have to retire or spend a year or two in the hospital after suffering this injury.
Begel was watching from the side.
Although he had personally used Healing Potion, the combined effect of Repair Potion and Healing Potion still astonished him.
He felt that his initial investment and risk-taking were correct, and Kevin was indeed worth his sacrifice.
"But now is not the time to rest. The Baishu that rushed in seems to have encountered some minor trouble."
Locke said.
Begel sighed helplessly, picked up his gun, opened the magazine, slid it open, and then closed it again.
"I'll go in and take a look."
Currently, he is in the best condition among everyone.
No one else objected.
Watching Begel walk into the base, Kevin stood up and went to the side of the Flying Dragon's corpse.
He planned to see which parts could be used.
During the battle, he felt all sorts of "desires" constantly surging towards him.
He touched the scales; their quality was a common C-Rank "Desire".
However, the number is not small.
It was stained with blood again, and it was still C-Rank "Desire".
The number remains considerable.
He touched his teeth again and found them to be less than ideal, basically rubbish.
When Kevin touched the tongue, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha, B-Rank, it really is B-Rank."
Kevin was having a great time, his smile growing wider as he touched the corpse here and there.
"What is he doing?" Shante asked, puzzled.
"Is there even a need to look? He's inspecting his spoils."
Locke, who had signed a supplier contract with Kevin, knew very well that this was likely due to Kevin's Nen ability.
Inside the base.
There weren't many mercenaries inside.
Twenty or thirty mercenaries were either paralyzed and collapsed, became dizzy, or were already dead.
The problem is, those despicable researchers hid in the innermost protected area.
The real problem is that there are several large Beetle running rampant inside the base.
It turns out they Emission the Charging Armor for research purposes.
And this is happening in such a confined space.
These Charging Armor had never grown freely in the wild before, and now they were running around wildly like madmen.
"What bad luck! Utterly bad luck!"
Baishu doesn't have Kevin's brute strength to withstand the Charging Armor, and the space here is extremely cramped.
He could only keep dodging.
At that moment, a Charging Armor was hot on its heels, with the stairs just ahead.
Baishu planned to go up there to take shelter for a while.
Since the base had already been breached, the few researchers who were able to move freely hid in the central laboratory.
It looks like they won't be able to escape anytime soon.
So, Baishu decided to go out first and talk about it later.
The Charging Armor was in hot pursuit.
Just then, Baishu heard footsteps coming from the stairs.
"Quick! Quick! Give it a ticket! It's speeding!"
Although Baishu didn't know who it was, he judged that it should be an ally, and guessed that it might be Kevin.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
The bullet flew past Baishu and instantly pierced the head of the Charging Armor.
The Charging Armor vehicle immediately collapsed to the ground, sliding forward for quite a distance before finally bumping into the Baishu's rear end.
No ticket, but will you take the bullet?
Baishu, leaning against the wreckage of the Charging Armor, rolled his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"Don't worry, there are still a few running amok, I can't handle them."
Upon hearing Baishu's words, Begel nodded and began clearing the corridor with his gun.
Gunshots rang out one after another.
While cleaning the Charging Armor, Begel saw several lab personnel staring at him through the transparent glass of the central laboratory.
The laboratory is under very strict security measures.
Begel glanced at them a few times, and after confirming there was no danger, he raised his hand and fired a shot.
He didn't even bother to communicate with these people; the bullet pierced through the thick bulletproof glass.
I looked at the pierced glass and the cracks spreading outwards from it.
Several researchers swallowed hard, exchanged glances, and then obediently opened the door, came out, put their hands behind their heads, and squatted on the ground.
This series of actions can be described as practiced and familiar.
After the two finished dealing with the situation below, they returned to the ground.
They saw some soldiers who had regained consciousness.
These soldiers were lucky in the battle; they were not directly killed, nor were they wiped out immediately.
Once she regained consciousness, she found herself under Kevin's "authority."
"You all better do a good job. Collect every single drop of blood."
Kevin, standing to the side like a supervisor, said.
These mercenaries had no choice but to get to work, taking out various containers from the laboratory and beginning to collect blood.
Fortunately, there were plenty of these containers in the lab, enough for their needs.
The two people who came out saw this scene.
"So they've already started collecting loot?"
Locke shrugged helplessly.
There was a bunch of guns sitting under him.
Upon learning that there were three more researchers below, Kevin went down and pulled them all out, making them start working.
Although they didn't understand why, these people had no choice but to bite the bullet and do as they were told.
They knew the situation at the base all too well; they understood what was going on as soon as they saw the X-9 markings on the Flying Dragon.
They were able to kill this monster outright; its strength was something they couldn't afford to mess with.
Because their base was responsible for the X-9 experimental subjects, and they couldn't do anything to them.
We have no choice but to obediently do the work; what other options do we have?
Didn't they see their superiors already tied up nearby, their fate uncertain, while the bodies of their resisting comrades were still piled on the ground?
The two men were left to watch over the group, since they were all unarmed and wounded.
Baishu and Shante are enough to control the situation.
The other three brought the Nen user down below, bound him tightly, and injected him with a special anesthetic.
Make sure he doesn't wake up and run away halfway through.
The Nen user slowly opened his eyes.
He felt weak all over, and then he saw the three people standing in front of him.
Seeing that the three of them, though slightly disheveled, were completely unharmed, he instantly lost his spirit and his will to fight completely vanished.
His trump card, which he had originally intended to use to take everyone down with him, didn't even have the ability to inflict a minor injury on his opponent.
X-9 was already a very good experimental subject.
At that moment, he deeply understood the disparity in strength between the two sides.
"Now, have you grasped the situation? Tell me what exactly happened."
The Nen user looked up at the three of them and snorted coldly.
"Dream on, you bunch of dog Hunter x Hunter."
After uttering those words, he suddenly let out a scream.
The three had no time to react or receive any treatment.
With a scream, his eyes exploded, and a large amount of blood gushed from his face. He fell silent on the spot.
What happened?
The three of them looked completely bewildered.
They had thoroughly checked the person and found no poison or similar items on them.
How could he have died so suddenly?
At that moment, a "clicking" sound came from the other person's head.
The three were startled and quickly took a step back, their Nen Aura surging out instantly.
Several insects crawled out of his ears and mouth.
"+!"
Begel fired several shots, killing all the insects that fell out.
Kevin stepped forward, his hands emitting irregular bursts of Nen Aura that enveloped the other person's head.
His expression became unusual.
"That's too cruel! He's too cruel to himself!"
Kevin didn't think he could do that.
"What's wrong?" Locke asked curiously from the side.
"We couldn't detect it because he probably left something like Insect Egg in his head, perhaps through his Nen ability, or some other means. Those Insect Egg just hatched."
"His head was eaten away, leaving almost nothing. Forget about surviving; even using Nen ability to probe memories, he might not be able to find any useful information."
Upon hearing these words, Locke couldn't help but touch his neck, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Just listening to it gave me goosebumps.
Begel couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
The level of security measures they can implement is truly impressive.
Just then, a pigeon flew in from outside.
Upon seeing this, Kevin instantly wanted to punch the pigeon that flew over.
Begel quickly stopped him.
"Wait, it's a letter from the Association."
The pigeon landed on Begel's shoulder.
Begel opened the letter and read it.
After reading it, Begel's expression was strange. He looked at the two people, and then at the Nen user had already died.
