"Xiao Yi, can you turn into a crowbar?"
"Then we can find a chance to pry that golden mask off her face. How about it?"
Wu Hen earnestly tried to reason with his right hand.
Xiao Yi said there was no need to go to all that trouble. They could just turn around and leave, let the woman parasitize the whole city, then fire off a nuclear Death Sword and send every parasite in the city to meet their great-grandmothers!
"Wait, didn't you say there were other experts?" Wu Hen was baffled.
Xiao Yi swished its phantom tail and declared proudly:
The Golden-Eyed Parasitic Mother's protein wasn't enough to replenish the energy it would use up with one sword. It didn't do unprofitable business!
"Sure, sure, brother's heart is with you, and you're playing games with his brain!"
"Crowbar!"
"I don't care if you've ever eaten a crowbar! If you don't turn into one for me, you can forget about getting any cans from now on!"
Wu Hen was thoroughly exasperated.
At a time like this, Xiao Yi was still brainstorming! It had made such a big show of things earlier!
Xiao Yi was quite helpless.
Faced with its host's tantrum, it had no choice but to try turning the Qilin Spike on Wu Hen's right hand into a long-handled weapon. Several hooks appeared at the end of the handle.
"You—you—you... Do you take me for Zhu Bajie? What's with the Nine-Toothed Rake?" Wu Hen complained.
"Fine, fine! A Nine-Toothed Rake it is!"
Wu Hen secretly resolved to make Xiao Yi try out every item in the Apocalypse Toolbox. That way, whenever he needed a power drill, a hammer, a chainsaw, a mixer, a hair dryer, a curling iron, or whatever else, he could have Xiao Yi turn into one.
The Order Maintenance Force's gunfire had helped quite a bit.
Even Naruto girl Yu Yu stood on top of a building, glaring furiously as she used the pink Compound Bow in her hands to land several crucial hits on Half-Human Yang Qin.
Yu Yu might have been timid, but whenever a monster tried to hurt her brother, some kind of gene inside her awakened. Arrow after arrow targeted Yang Qin's soft connective tissue, posing a threat on par with an armor-piercing sniper rifle.
Half-Human Yang Qin's face began to twist, the Golden Silk Mask taking on a hideous, resentful expression.
"Once I've dealt with Wu Hen, I'll stew every last one of you into a pot of bone-and-meat soup!" Half-Human Yang Qin said.
With everyone helping to increase Wu Hen's firepower, he finally had a chance to get close to Half-Human Yang Qin.
Most of the dozen or so claws had been shot to pieces, but Wu Hen still couldn't get close to Yang Qin's Original Body. Those vicious centipede legs were in his way.
"Can you find a chance to pin her willow blades down?" Wu Hen gestured toward Yu Yu.
Wu Hen suspected that the golden mask was the parasite's true body. But if he tried to pry it off, there was a good chance those willow blades would cut him into watermelon chunks.
The Kirin Armor was sturdy, but it couldn't withstand the Golden-Pupil half-human's deadly willow blades.
On top of the building, Yu Yu saw the message her brother was sending. She watched Centipede-Human Yang Qin, whose legs had been shot to pieces and who could no longer move...
Her willow blades had turned soft, waving like fluttering sleeves. Bullets were absorbed by them like they were hitting jelly.
Clearly, Centipede-Human Yang Qin was stalling for time, waiting for new legs to grow back.
Yu Yu knew that if this continued, the centipede woman would recover her full fighting strength. She immediately tapped the female Order Maintenance Personnel beside her and signaled for her to have everyone concentrate their fire on one part of Yang Qin's body!
The female Order Maintenance Personnel quickly understood what Yu Yu meant, and ordered all personnel to concentrate their fire on Yang Qin's abdomen!
The Order Maintenance Personnel were good shots. Every red dot was trained on the abdomen of the immobile Centipede-Human Yang Qin.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!!!!!!!!!"
Bullets poured into the centipede woman's abdomen. Soon, they had punched holes through her hard shell.
Yang Qin realized that repairing her abdomen would take quite a while, so she immediately lowered her willow-blade arms and wove them into a net of willow threads to shield her lower belly!
The bullets were clearly slowed by this unusual Fungal Willow Silk Net. By the time they hit Yang Qin, they had lost most of their force.
On both sides of Yang Qin's torso, new legs sprouted like tender shoots. They grew rapidly, then twisted together into the shape of powerful claws!
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Three arrows shot in succession. They were all specially made, and flew with pinpoint accuracy from high atop the building!
Each arrow struck Yang Qin's unusual willow blades.
Because the blades were soft and rubbery, the Compound Bow could pierce right through them, pinning Yang Qin's willow blades to her abdomen!
Yang Qin reflexively tried to pull out her "willow-blade arms," only to discover that the arrows' fletching split into backward-facing barbs, like giant thumbtacks. They were clearly designed to deal with shapeshifting creatures like her!
Because her arms had turned soft and rubbery, she couldn't yank them free by brute force. Yang Qin suddenly realized she could neither move nor free her arms!
"With tricks like that, you think you can rule all of humanity?"
"Take this, my rake!"
Wu Hen suddenly appeared right in front of her!
Yang Qin was horrified. She tried to swing her newly regrown claws at Wu Hen, but they hadn't finished forming and couldn't stop his fierce advance!
Wu Hen leapt into the air, wielding a gleaming silver Nine-Toothed Rake!
He brought the weapon straight down on Yang Qin's face. The nine teeth dug between the Golden Silk Mask and Yang Qin's skin, and soon a smear of bright-red blood seeped from her cheek!
The Golden Silk Mask was incredibly hard and seemed to have grown right onto Yang Qin's face.
Wu Hen poured all his strength into it, and only then did he feel the mask loosen a little.
"Get off her!"
Lightning patterns appeared on Wu Hen's arm. In an instant, his strength surged!
The Golden Silk Mask began peeling away from Yang Qin's forehead. Where the rake had lifted one corner, a mass of sticky fungi was visible between the mask and Yang Qin's face. The strands looked just like the muscle fibers and blood vessels in her face, yet they writhed wildly like living creatures—more like countless worms linked head to tail!
Seeing this, Wu Hen became even more certain that the Golden Silk Mask was the Golden Fungal Adult!
He even planted both feet against the centipede woman's chest, kicking her whole body in the opposite direction as he focused all his strength in his arms, determined to tear the Golden Silk Mask off!
"Xiao Yi, unleash the lightning!"
Wu Hen gave the command.
Lightning burst from within Wu Hen, quickly flowed into his arms, and soon flooded the entire Nine-Toothed Rake!
The powerful electrical charge also surged between the mask and her skin, instantly paralyzing the face-worms knotted together like clasps!
At last, Yang Qin's original eye sockets and the bridge of her nose were exposed. But they were covered in blood. What he was doing was no different from peeling off her entire face.
Lightning crackled around his arms.
A silver rake gripped in his hands.
The figure wrenching off a golden face looked every bit like the divine General Tianpeng!
Though the scene hadn't gone quite as he'd first imagined, Wu Hen had certainly left an unforgettable impression of divine might on the entire school!
"Riiip~~~~"
Finally, the entire golden human-skin mask was raked off Yang Qin's face, with a mass of human tissue still stuck to it.
The truly horrifying thing was that, once the Golden Silk Mask hit the ground, it grew little tendrils for legs and scuttled around like an octopus that had crawled ashore, frantically searching for a crack in the ground to hide in!
The Golden Silk Face Worm clearly knew there was a more powerful being inside Wu Hen. Jumping onto his face would be useless.
So the Golden Silk Face Worm raced toward Yu Yu, high atop the building.
A Golden Silk Mask bug crawled across the school field. At the thought of it latching onto their faces and turning them into human centipedes, the entire school erupted in screams and rushed to hide in the classrooms.
Yu Yu saw what was happening too. She raised her pink Compound Bow and fired several arrows at the rapidly moving Golden Silk Mask bug, trying to pin it to the field.
But the Golden Silk Face Worm was incredibly agile. It dodged the speeding arrows!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!"
Ten arrows shot out in succession, all slanting into the ground. The Golden Silk Face Worm drew closer and closer, quickly climbing up the building's drainpipe.
In an instant, it reached the third floor. Yu Yu still showed no sign of running away. She took a deep breath, using her sense of smell to pinpoint the disgusting Golden Insect!
Suddenly, the Golden Silk Face Worm leapt into the air, spreading all its fungal tendrils as it lunged for Yu Yu's lovely young face!
Yu Yu's eyes flashed. She actually moved to meet the terrifying Golden Silk Face Worm!
"Vwoom~~~"
Her slender arms extended perfectly. Her pale fingertips, which had been pulling back the bowstring, suddenly released it!
An arrow shot out with deadly precision, perfectly predicting the Golden Silk Face Worm's glide through the air...
But the Golden Silk Face Worm was abnormally strange. Its body suddenly spread outward, tearing open a hole right through its center!
The arrow flew straight through the opening.
The composed girl was thrown into a panic, her eyes filled with shock and fear!
Instinctively, she covered her face with both hands, trying to stop the disgusting monster from attaching itself to her cheek...
She squeezed her eyes shut.
Yu Yu's delicate body trembled.
"Slurp~~~"
Suddenly, a strange sound came from beside her...
Yu Yu realized she hadn't been attacked. She mustered her courage and opened her eyes, only to see an utterly bizarre scene.
A black phantom, like a sinister and handsome Witch Dragon, streaked across the field like lightning. With unerring precision, it snapped up the terrifying Golden Silk Mask bug!!
No matter how the Golden Silk Mask bug changed shape and writhed, the Black Shadow Witch Dragon calmly held it in its jaws, like a grub in the beak of a divine bird...
"Whoosh~"
The Black Shadow Witch Dragon was swift as light. After catching the Golden Silk Face Worm, it returned to its nest at an incredible speed.
Yu Yu's gaze involuntarily shifted into the distance. On the field, a man in a jacket stood there. The stunning Black Shadow Witch Dragon had returned to the palm of his right hand, where it swam into his body!
The snow-pure eyes of the girl melted at once, and tears of excitement welled up.
Wu Hen stood on the field. After locking onto the enemy from afar, he turned and made a little finger heart at his sister, who was still shaken.
Don't worry. Your big brother's here!
That little heart gesture stirred the entire school. The hearts of countless female teachers and students melted for Wu Hen, and even the dormitory matron felt her youth returning!
So handsome!!
"Wu Hen, I want to have your baby!" some student shouted hoarsely.
Wu Hen stood on the field, his thoughts in disarray.
Wasn't trying for a baby a bit extreme? Besides, you're a male student with Lu Zhishen's voice!
