Spitting out his thumb, Nanming leaped onto the Variant's enormous arm and crawled toward its head.
The Variant creature slapped out in terror, but Nanming nimbly jumped onto its other hand.
The massive jaws, full of fangs, snapped down again, tearing a large gash in the Variant's forearm.
Before it could react, Nanming jumped directly towards its head.
Blood splattered as sharp claws plunged into its thick face.
A powerful force grabbed the fat on its face and flipped the Variant over to the ground.
It raised its sharp claws and plunged them into its eye sockets.
"Ah!" A pig-like scream came from its throat, and its fat body began to struggle violently.
But Nanming showed no sign of stopping; instead, he bit down on Nanming's skull.
With a snap!
The Variant became completely still, the yellow light in its eyes faded, and its fat hands fell limply to its sides.
With the Variant dead, everyone's senses returned to normal.
"What's going on...? What happened to the vice-captain...?"
Once she recovered, Xing Lan turned to look at Nanming, then her pupils suddenly contracted, and she covered her mouth, retreating rapidly.
Ye Yiqing also looked over and was clearly startled.
All that could be seen was Nanming, who had completely lost his mind, devouring the Variant's enormous head like a wild beast.
It used its sharp claws to dig out the blood-red and white mixture, then shoved it into its mouth bit by bit, all the while growling.
Sun Hai and Liu Xiaogang looked at Nanming with extremely complicated expressions.
Si Xiaobei had already started vomiting violently.
At that moment, a slightly trembling voice came.
"Uh... I feel like we came back at the wrong time."
Ye Ciqing stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the mess and a humanoid shark devouring other Variant, somewhat at a loss.
Hela stared blankly at the enormous body and the Nanming was constantly gnawing on it.
She sensed the same aura emanating from Nanming as she had from [ Night Kill ] before.
It was an uneven mixture of human and Variant scents.
However, the aura of the Nanming is far stronger than that of [ Night Kill ]!
Upon hearing the commotion, Nanming stopped eating, turned to look at the two men with completely white hair, and let out a roar.
"Roar--!"
" Hela, watch out!" Xing Lan quickly spread its wings and flew towards Hela.
Ye Yiqing also transformed into a blur and rushed towards Ye Ciqing.
Nanming roared and charged forward, suddenly swinging his sharp claws.
But darkness rose from his own shadow, and a jet-black scythe blocked the Nanming's claws.
Xing Lan and Ye Yiqing successfully took the two away.
Sun Hai swung his scythe, deflecting Nanming's claws, and his figure vanished into darkness once more, appearing before the rest of the group.
"Captain... Brother Nanming, what happened?" Si Xiaobei, supported by Liu Xiaogang, asked Sun Hai with a sob in her voice.
"I'll tell you after this is over." Sun Hai stared at Nanming, who was roaring in their direction, and sighed slightly.
"All members of the Special Investigation Squad! Execute the arrest now..."
Before he could finish speaking, an overwhelming aura suddenly emanated from him.
The Nanming, who had been running towards them, stopped at this moment and looked warily in one direction.
In the direction he was looking, an elderly man, nearly ninety years old, leaning on a wooden stick, was slowly walking towards him while stroking his beard.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Sun Hai's cheek. He slowly turned his head and looked at the old man.
Then, he remembered something; this old man was the same one who had seemed a bit crazy at the village entrance when they entered the village.
The old man stopped, glanced at everyone present, and spoke slowly in a slightly hoarse voice.
Kneel down...
Thump!
Everyone present, except for Nanming, knelt down.
The immense pressure relentlessly suppressed them, forcing them to kneel on the ground, making even breathing extremely difficult.
Xing Lan knelt on both knees, one hand supporting her on the ground and the other protecting Hela, cold sweat pouring down her face like raindrops.
Hela also felt very strange at this moment. Mingming was no explosion or flames, so why did she still have that strange feeling?
She could feel every cell in her body trembling.
The old man exuded an incredibly strong Life, the strongest Hela had ever seen.
If measured by human standards, this old man's level would be ' Ten Thousand Stars '.
Sun Hai, also kneeling on one knee, gripped the [ Black Crow ] tightly. He knew he was no match for the old man.
If the old man wanted to make a move, he could only desperately cover his teammates' escape.
This is the only way.
Seeing everyone kneel down, the old man nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Nanming was still roaring incessantly.
"Alas... how useless is power that cannot be controlled."
The old man sighed deeply, but at that moment, the Nanming attacked him.
The old man shook his head slightly, raised the wooden stick in his hand, and stabbed it fiercely at Nanming's claws that were swinging towards him.
The old man's expression changed, and he was blasted several meters away by the powerful force coming from his hand.
Nanming followed up and unleashed several more claw strikes.
The old man steadied himself and adopted a bow stance, fending off the Nanming's attacks.
The wooden stick swept through, instantly neutralizing the Nanming's attack.
The old man jumped up, raised his wooden stick, and smashed it down on the bloody shark head of the Nanming.
boom!
Nanming was slammed hard onto the ground, and cracks spread outwards from him.
"Roar!"
With a roar, Nanming's body began to slowly swell, and the wildness in his eyes grew even stronger.
"Oh dear, so it was just a failure after all."
The old man shook his head and slowly closed his eyes as if sensing something.
Nanming's body slowly swelled to nearly eight meters, until it was no longer recognizable as human.
He used his enormous mouth, big enough to swallow an old man whole, to tear at him.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, and two scarlet arms grew out from behind him, each holding a short stick.
With one bite, Nanming swallowed the old man whole.
But the next moment, his mouth opened wide as if it had exploded.
A Red-Faced Ghost with scarlet skin, estimated to be four meters tall, and having one head and six arms jumped out of his mouth.
"[ The Variant Human ]..."
The word made Hela tremble even more violently.
"Since you've already gone all out, then I need not hold back."
The Red-Faced Ghost held a long staff in both hands and a short staff in each of his other four hands, assuming a traditional martial arts stance.
After spitting out the broken tooth, Nanming's tooth grew back.
He roared again and pounced on the old man like a wild beast.
The old man calmly stared at Nanming, and when the other party entered his attack range, he flicked his long staff upwards.
The massive Nanming man was struck in the chin and sent flying.
The Red-Faced Ghost spun around, and his four arms struck Nanming's body simultaneously with short sticks.
