Is This... the Scar of Mount Hyjal? (Revised)

Unless there was any other way, Wang Zhen did not want to use his other abilities in front of Zhang Jie.

However, the world is unpredictable, and things rarely go as planned.

Plans can never keep up with changes.

Although Wang Zhen had tried his best to overestimate the strength of the Cat Xenomorph, its appearance still dealt him a heavy blow.

Although the Cat Xenomorph did not attack Wang Zhen, Zheng Zha, who was standing within arm's reach, hadn't even managed to react. In the span of two or three seconds, he had nearly been disemboweled, his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—along with his colorful intestines—nearly laid out to dry!

Having unlocked his Gene Lock and stimulated his body to fuse with the Mutant Vampire Bloodline, even though he had only done so a few times, the intensity of the stimulation was immense, and the degree of physical transformation was quite high. Zheng Zha's current physical fitness was already approaching the human limit, yet even so, he hadn't shown the slightest reaction. This showed just how fast and stealthy this Cat Xenomorph's movements were!

Furthermore, the Cat Xenomorph had torn through Zheng Zha's body as easily as if it were tearing a napkin. If those small, delicate, fleshy paws were to press against his own body...

Although the clothes Wang Zhen was wearing had just been decomposed and reconstructed through alchemy, with a strength comparable to bulletproof plates capable of resisting 12.7mm rounds, he still felt no confidence at all!

To save his life, Wang Zhen could no longer worry about the risk of exposing a portion of his true strength!

He immediately employed a method he had analyzed and deduced many times but had yet to verify!

Transmutation Circle... Activate!

As Wang Zhen flicked his thumb and index finger with his left hand hidden in his sleeve, a special mist he had transmuted dissipated into the air.

This mist was actually composed of extremely tiny dust particles. They spread to every inch of the surrounding space; as long as something touched these particles, their master would be able to see it!

Therefore, once these dust particles filled every corner of the surrounding space, even if the Cat Xenomorph's stealth ability was incredibly strong, as long as it couldn't enter Subspace or use other spatial abilities, it would trigger the particles, allowing Wang Zhen to see who had disturbed them!

Because these dust particles had been imbued with Wang Zhen's mental energy, touching them was equivalent to touching his consciousness, naturally allowing him to perceive them.

However, these dust particles were a double-edged sword; they revealed his otherwise intangible mental energy, making it easy for others to target him or follow the trail to his disadvantage.

If it weren't for this Cat Xenomorph with its super-stealth ability nearly killing Zheng Zha the moment it struck, Wang Zhen would never have used this Transmutation Circle, which was still in the research phase!

Since he could see it, he couldn't let it get away!

The Cat Xenomorph, which was clinging to the ceiling with all four paws and hanging upside down in the shadows of the upper-left corner, had not realized it was exposed. It remained there leisurely, observing the actions of the three men with great interest.

The Cat Xenomorph's appearance inherited the high aesthetic appeal of felines. Although it lacked beautiful, soft fur, its pure black skin, which shimmered with a metallic luster, added a sense of ferocity and dominance to the once-gentle and cute cat. A pair of cat eyes, swirling with blood-red light, looked like two high-purity rubies embedded in its face, and the cold light flickering on the tips of its four claws resembled exceptionally sharp claw-knives.

This Cat Xenomorph looked just like that metal leopard named Scar, who had walked out of the front lines of the Molten Core at Mount Hyjal!

Since he had already used the semi-finished Nebula Storm Transmutation Circle, he might as well go all out and take this little cat, which could kill without a trace, in one fell swoop!

Wang Zhen would not allow any existence in this plot world to be more badass than himself!

Therefore, when he saw the Cat Xenomorph hiding in the shadow of the corner where the ceiling met the wall, he couldn't help but admire that the little beast had truly inherited the essence of cats; it could hide in such mind-boggling nooks and crannies! No wonder he hadn't found it after searching with full concentration for so long; it had been hiding above while he was checking the corners on the ground—it was truly an eyesore!

As Wang Zhen secretly made his move, the corner where the Cat Xenomorph was hiding was flanked by alloy plates on three sides. Although this meant the Cat Xenomorph only had to face the open space in front, this corner was also Wang Zhen's favorite!

Because, by secretly activating the Transmutation Circle, he brought all three metal plates under his control!

Subsequently, all three alloy plates simultaneously shot out metal strips as thick as fingers, capturing the Cat Xenomorph like a spider catching its prey, binding it layer by layer into a metal cocoon!

Next, Wang Zhen flicked his fingers again. In the dark corner, he returned the favor of the ambush, catching the Cat Xenomorph off guard and suddenly shooting metal spikes inward into the cocoon!

This Cat Xenomorph, with its evil, domineering, and alternatively beautiful appearance, was bound tightly from head to toe. It couldn't even stretch its feet, shake its legs, or arch its waist, and naturally, it couldn't exert any force to break free from the metal cocoon.

Because he was overly cautious, Wang Zhen hadn't left the Cat Xenomorph any room to move. The result was that it was impossible for it to intentionally injure itself and use its corrosive bodily fluids to melt a hole in the cocoon!

Therefore, when the metal spikes inside the cocoon pierced directly into the body of the immobile Cat Xenomorph...

"Good lad! So that's where you were hiding!" Wang Zhen moved his right hand, and clusters of flames hovered before him. He then condensed these flames into blue-white fire nails, which shot straight toward the metal cocoon like bullets.

These fire nails easily pierced into the dying Cat Xenomorph's body, triggering another explosion that blasted the terrifying, fast-moving hunter into a pile of debris!

"I suspect your ability is more than just 'fire control,' isn't it?" Seeing Wang Zhen casually kill the Cat Xenomorph that he hadn't even clearly seen, Zhang Jie said thoughtfully.

"Brother Zhang, who doesn't have a few secrets? Especially in a shitty place like Infinite Space; if you reveal everything clearly, you're not far from death! Don't you agree?" Wang Zhen knew his move had certainly caught Zhang Jie's attention, but he wasn't afraid.

Hearing Wang Zhen's honest reply, Zhang Jie couldn't say anything more. Just as Wang Zhen said, who didn't have a few little secrets?

This was Infinite Space, filled with too many uncertainties and too much danger. Who knew what they would encounter in the next moment? In such a dangerous environment, how could anyone be expected to confess all their secrets?

"Wang Zhen, where's that Cat Xenomorph? Let me smash it a couple of times so I can clear my head!" Zheng Zha said, holding the Dragon-Subduing Mace while wearing clothes that had been torn into ribbons, his voice filled with resentment. "I didn't even see what that thing looked like before I was nearly disemboweled. That was way too damn intense!"

"It's right over there, that pile on the ground..." Wang Zhen gestured casually and said with a smile.
