Chen Muxi's adventure team was called the Anxi Team.
The meaning was perfectly clear: Chen Muxi intended to send every giant lizard to rest in hell.
Besides Chen Muxi, the other four members were Chen Guanglu, an Awakened with the Great Strength ability; Chen Anping, an Awakened with the Scale Armor ability; Liu Nenghuo, an Awakened with the Bullseye Eye ability; and Zhang Zhenshi, an Awakened with the Stone Skin ability.
None of their abilities were particularly good. Even Liu Nenghuo, the strongest among them, was only Combat Tier, while Chen Anping's ability was merely Practical Tier.
They all knew that no matter how hard they trained, they would remain High-Level Awakened for the rest of their lives.
So all they wanted was money.
Their original plan had been to capture Chen Muxi, transfer him to a safehouse they had prepared, then slowly torture him until he revealed how to hunt giant lizards.
But they had underestimated the strength a person could unleash when faced with danger, and Chen Muxi had actually escaped.
While pursuing him, Liu Nenghuo and the others had deliberately held back. Mainly because they were afraid the injured Chen Muxi would get himself killed.
If Chen Muxi died, they would be reduced to their original state: the lowest-ranking adventurers in the city, forced to hope some other adventure team would take them in so they could work themselves to the bone.
But what happened next left them at a complete loss.
Chen Muxi, who had been running, was suddenly struck by something. His body turned into a mass of flattened matter, then spread out endlessly. Human skin connected to internal organs, blood, blood vessels, nerves, bones...
Those parts that belonged to Chen Muxi gradually spread apart, ultimately forming a ring.
"W-What's going on?"
