The girl was still biting the knife, trying to pry it open with both hands, completely oblivious to the straight knife that was getting closer to Qin Gucheng and behind him.
squeak...
Suddenly, a weak, pitiful scream came from the Variant.
The girl stopped what she was doing and turned to look at the Variant.
Her mouth immediately gaped open, and the straight knife in her hand fell to the ground.
The Variant was being trampled under Hela's feet, looking like it was about to die at any moment.
Hela was holding in her hands an eyeball that she had gouged out of the Variant creature.
He brought it closer, licked it twice, and then opened his mouth to take a bite.
After realizing that his mouth was too small to bite into it, he casually tossed it aside.
He reached out and ripped a chunk of flesh off the Variant's body, then put it in his mouth and began to chew it.
The girl's facial muscles twitched incessantly, and her eyes slowly became bloodshot.
Just then, Qin Gucheng arrived in front of the girl and swung his straight sword.
A cold glint flashed, just as the blade was about to touch the girl's neck.
The girl suddenly vanished, leaving behind only the dust and some tattered clothes.
With his blade missing its mark, Qin Gucheng stopped, somewhat bewildered. As if realizing something, he quickly looked in Hela's direction.
Then they saw a slender, Variant, three meters long with a one-meter-long tail, entirely black, and covered with blade-like bone spurs on its back and tail, rushing towards Hela at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing this, Hela, who was enjoying her meal, immediately swung the two bone whips behind her and lashed at the monstrous Variant with its gaping maw.
The two bone whips clashed with the Variant's claws and fangs.
Then, with a "snap," Hela's bone whip was bitten in half!
The Variant bit down on the other bone whip again and swung its head violently.
He flung Hela directly next to Yan Wusheng, embedding them both into the wall.
After flinging Hela away, the thin, dark-skinned Variant hurriedly checked on the centipede-like Variant beneath it, from which a large chunk of flesh had been ripped out.
Seeing that the other party had completely died, the dark, thin Variant roared angrily.
"Roar--!"
Its roar echoed throughout the cave, shaking some small stones off the rock walls.
I'm going to kill you all!
Then, to Keke and Qin Gucheng's astonishment, this Variant actually spoke human language!
Based on what he had just witnessed, Qin Gucheng had a bold idea.
This Variant is the girl from before, transformed into something else!
But isn't this a bit too outrageous?! A human can actually turn into Variant.
Moreover, Qin Gucheng also knew that this Variant, called [ Night Kill ], was an extremely dangerous and highly mobile Variant.
" Keke! Quickly use your abilities to bring Yan Wusheng and Hela up there!"
"Then report to your superiors immediately!" Qin Gucheng took out a walkie-talkie and tossed it to Keke.
Keke answered the walkie-talkie somewhat nervously, then looked at Qin Gucheng with concern.
"Then what will you do!"
"I'll hold it off, you hurry!"
After saying that, he charged straight towards [ Night Kill ].
Keke gritted her teeth and, without further hesitation, flew onto the cube and immediately stood in front of Hela and Yan Wusheng.
" Hela, let's run! Then we'll notify the other instructors!"
"I feel that Instructor Qin won't be able to hold on for much longer!"
Keke dragged Yan Wusheng up and placed him on the cube, looking at Hela, who had already climbed out of the wall, with some anxiety.
Hela, meanwhile, regenerated her broken bone whip and then stared intently at [ Night Kill ].
She saw the immense energy within the other's body; it was the most powerful Variant Hela had ever seen, and she didn't want to miss it.
Moreover, she could sense that Qin Gucheng was much weaker than [ Night Kill ].
If I don't help, Qin Gucheng will die.
"I'll help the instructor; you go up yourself."
After saying that, Hela brandished her bone whip and charged towards [ Night Kill ].
Keke hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to take Yan Wusheng up first.
Hela was incredibly fast, even faster than Qin Gucheng, and arrived in front of [ Night Kill ].
Having just finished yelling, [ Night Kill ] saw Hela, and his anger, which he had just vented, surged up again.
"It's all your fault! Now I'm going to get yelled at when I get back!"
After saying that, it slapped at him with its paw.
Sharp claws sliced Hela's head into several pieces.
Her long, silvery-white hair broke and fell to the ground.
But the headless Hela didn't stop; she lashed out with her bone whip at [ Night Kill ].
[ Night Kill ] was probably seeing such a bizarre scene for the first time. Despite its agility, it didn't dodge and was instead struck heavily by the bone whip.
A bloody gash appeared instantly, followed by four straight knives that stabbed straight down from behind it.
But [ Night Kill ] reacted this time, instantly retreating to the side and dodging the several knives.
It quickly climbed onto the stone wall, and a look of surprise flashed in its eyes as it watched Hela's head slowly recover.
Then, an almost morbid joy emerged.
"You are [Life]?!"
Hahaha! I actually found it!
Unbelievable! Unbelievable! [Life] has actually transformed into human form and is now mingling in human society!
Qin Gucheng below was taken aback, not understanding what it was talking about.
But now is not the time to consider these things, because it seems that [ Night Kill ] is about to launch another attack.
[ Night Kill ] suddenly sprang into action, attacking the two with the sharp blades at its joints and the bone spikes at its tail.
Its incredible speed and appearance, almost blending into the darkness, made it difficult for Qin Gucheng to see its opponent clearly.
He dodged sharply to the side, but a large gash was still slashed across his shoulder, from which blood gushed out continuously.
Hela then swung her bone whip directly, meeting the oncoming Night Kill head-on.
Pfft!
But the next moment, Hela's two bone whips, along with herself, were instantly cleaved in two.
Its speed was so great that Hela's lower body remained firmly planted while her upper body had already fallen.
[ Night Kill ] clawed at the ground with all four limbs, leaving several terrifying scratches on the ground, and then stopped.
Then he quickly ran back to Hela's side.
The entire process of sprinting to cut Hela in half and then turning back took less than half a second.
When Qin Gucheng turned his head, Hela had already been chopped into several small pieces by [ Night Kill ].
" Hela!" Qin Gucheng roared, then four straight swords flew towards [ Night Kill ] at a speed, and he rushed over at the same time.
"It really is [Life]!" Hela exclaimed, looking at the still-wriggling creature that had been cut into many pieces of flesh.
[ Night Kill ]'s smile became even more morbid as he raised his sharp tail and precisely deflected all four incoming straight swords.
Turning to Qin Gucheng, he said, "First, trap [Life] in this cave. If you manage to bring over the higher-ups of the Night Star, things will get complicated."
After saying that, he flashed and appeared directly in front of Qin Gucheng, who was running wildly.
He grabbed his head and quickly climbed towards the hole above.
"Hello, this is Han Keru! We're in danger here, requesting backup! Requesting backup!"
On the ground, Keke kept calling into the walkie-talkie.
Suddenly, smoke and dust billowed from the cave entrance, and a dark figure grabbed Qin Gucheng and rushed out of the cave.
