Aberrant Creature

Meng Bao watched Gu Qijue leave. At that moment, a woman stepped off the bus. She was not exactly beautiful, but pleasant enough to look at.

She walked over to Meng Bao and asked curiously, "Meng Bao, is that White-Haired Blood Eyes man one of your kind?"

"Yes. He is a very terrifying existence. I am no match for him." Meng Bao nodded solemnly.

Hearing that, Zhang Li asked strangely, "Since he is one of your kind, why does he have a human following him?"

Meng Bao shook his head. "I don't know. In any case, I will not make an enemy of him."

"Mm! Since he bears us no hostility, there is no need for us to make an enemy of him either."

Zhang Li nodded, then took out her phone and contacted Chu Beixuan, telling him to bring people out.

From atop a high-rise next door, Gu Qijue watched them.

"Master, is that Meng Bao... one of your kind?" Chu Mengxi asked in a low voice, forcing herself to speak.

To be honest, she was truly curious.

Was this being who had openly committed murder at the school gate earlier a human or a Mutated Monster?

"Do I look like a monster to you?"

Gu Qijue shot her an indifferent glance. "Like you, I am human. And I am your classmate too!"

Uh...

Chu Mengxi was utterly confused. The doubts in her heart only grew, but she did not dare ask any more questions.

Ding-dong!

Just then, Gu Qijue's phone received a message.

He took it out and saw that it was from Zhao Hu. "Master, this is bad. We encountered a bizarre Mutated Monster on the road. Sister White Fox cannot defeat it and is about to be beaten back into her original form."

"A bizarre Mutated Monster?!"

Gu Qijue's gaze narrowed slightly. "Could Aberrant Creatures have appeared this quickly?"

In the mutated apocalypse, what were the most terrifying creatures? Without question, they were Aberrant Creatures.

They were a species born after humans mutated. These Aberrant Creatures were bloodthirsty, vicious, bizarre, and solitary hunters in the dark. Whether humans or Mutated Monsters, all were their prey.

In other words, they were creatures that had undergone another aberrant evolution after mutation, and every single one possessed Calamity-tier strength.

They loved devouring humans most of all, with Mutated Monsters coming second.

After reading the message, Gu Qijue said to Chu Mengxi beside him, "You and your dad should go to Mu Qingxue's shelter first. Find out what is going on inside. This is my WeChat."

After having her add him, Gu Qijue vanished into the night at top speed.

What kind of monster could make him this anxious?

Chu Mengxi hesitated for a while, then smiled bitterly. Looks like I have to go back and apologize to Dad.

Cackle, cackle, cackle—

On a street roughly ten kilometers from New God Group, no Mutated Monsters dared approach within several hundred meters.

Eerie, chilling laughter echoed continuously from all directions throughout the street.

Zhao Hu, Deng Tian, Tang Huang, White Fox, Ji Shang, and the rest had numbered twenty-three Super Martial Artists in total. Now, only fifteen remained. They stood back-to-back, gripping their weapons tightly as they stared at the darkness around them in terror.

"What kind of monster is it?! It appears and vanishes like a ghost, and every attack takes one of our brothers away."

"Damn apocalypse! Why are we still so helpless even after becoming Super Martial Artists capable of summoning Super Martial Armor?"

"Damn it, I don't want to die!"

Although the Super Martial Artists from the school all wore Super Martial Armor, they were clearly scared out of their wits. Their hands trembled around their weapons, and the fear had nearly driven them to collapse.

"Look at how pathetic you are. Pull yourselves together! Can fear solve anything? It will only make you die faster."

Zhao Hu had had enough of the cowardly complaints from the student Super Martial Artists and roared at them.

"Do not blame them so harshly. Against the existence we have encountered, anyone other than someone on Black Dragon's level would despair."

White Fox had already returned to her fox form. Her buffalo-sized body was covered in blood, and her aura was extremely weak. "All we can do now is pray that Black Dragon gets here quickly."

The monster in the darkness gave her an extremely sinister feeling.

White Fox felt that it seemed to be holding back against her. Otherwise, she might have died long ago.

Cackle, cackle—

Whoosh!

"Ahhh!!!"

At that moment, accompanied by strange laughter and the arrival of a black shadow, a student Super Martial Artist was instantly snatched away and vanished into the darkness.

"Ah! No, don't eat me! Aaaaaah—"

Then, a string of heart-rending screams came from that patch of darkness.

Those screams sounded as though he had seen some unimaginable terror, making everyone present shudder.

"Ah! To hell with this, I am leaving first!"

At last, one student could no longer endure the torment. He shouted and fled from the group.

"Ahhh!!"

However, the moment he ran into the darkness, his agonized scream rang out.

Cackle, cackle, cackle—

A series of evil, sinister laughs accompanied the screams.

"Beast! It wants to eat us after letting us drown in endless fear..."

Listening to the laughter echoing around them, Zhao Hu felt ice-cold all over. Terror gripped his heart. He could be next.

"Why has Black Dragon not arrived yet?"

Ji Shang, who did not know Gu Qijue's name, was trembling as well. Like White Fox, he called Gu Qijue Black Dragon.

"New God Group is over ten kilometers from here. With Master's speed, he should arrive soon."

Tang Huang said through chattering teeth, "I am just afraid that even if Master comes, he may not be a match for the monster in the darkness."

The moment he said that, everyone's mood grew even heavier.

Whoosh!

"Ahhh!!"

A while later, another black shadow flashed by, and another Super Martial Artist among them was snatched away.

They could not even see what the shadow looked like.

Over the next three or four minutes, four more Super Martial Artists were taken away by the black shadow.

Including White Fox, there had originally been twenty-three of them. Now, only twelve remained.

"What do we do? What do we do? Ahhh!!"

"I do not want to die! Someone save me! Ahhh!!"

Someone had already broken down and burst into tears, collapsing onto the ground. He could not even maintain his Super Martial Armor anymore, and an unidentified liquid flowed from his crotch.

"This..."

Zhao Hu and the others were also in despair now, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Roar! Howl—

Yet just then, a violent dragon roar swept over from the distant street.

Amid a fierce gale, Gu Qijue finally arrived, his blood-red pupils fixed on a patch of darkness.

As his gaze landed there, a pair of scarlet eyes lit up within the darkness.

"Boss!"

At the sight of him, Zhao Hu and the others inexplicably felt safe. The fear in their hearts receded like the tide.

In their eyes, as long as Gu Qijue had arrived, nothing was a problem anymore.
