Deadly Danger to His "Cock," System Points Gained

[Alert! A level-three exotic beast in a Rampage state has been detected near the host. Please evacuate immediately!]

[Ding! Exotic beasts in a Rampage state have no emotions or consciousness. Danger rating: 99. Please evacuate as soon as possible!]

The two consecutive alerts made Jiang He instantly realize how serious the situation was!

"Damn it! Level-three exotic beasts are ridiculously hard to kill!"

Looking at the gaping hole through the old woman's chest and the arm that had transformed into a beast's in a matter of moments, he gritted his teeth.

As he broke into a sprint, Jiang He quickly pulled a bottle of alcohol and a lighter from an empty pocket in his jacket with his right hand.

These were precious tools he used to start fires, and he could hardly bear to use them normally.

The fact that he had taken them out showed just how nervous he was.

His fire control ability had a fatal flaw: for now, he couldn't use it to create flames. To control fire, he first needed a flame...

Jiang He sprinkled alcohol over his sneakers as he turned to watch the old woman out of the corner of his eye.

"Fuck!"

When he saw that the old woman had finished transforming and was lunging at him, he jolted.

No longer caring about waste, he squeezed the plastic bottle hard. Alcohol gushed out, running down his pants toward his feet.

"Roar!"

A furious roar came from behind him, and foul-smelling liquid sprayed onto the back of Jiang He's neck. The hairs on his body stood on end, and sweat covered his forehead.

At last, feeling that his shoes were completely soaked, he didn't dare delay any longer!

Click!

A blue flame sprang from the lighter in his hand. The instant it touched the alcohol on him, a tongue of fire flared up.

The flame raced down Jiang He's pants, finally settling on his feet!

The moment the flames reached his feet, he activated fire control.

Boom! Boom!

The flames on his pant legs split into two streams in an instant.

One left Jiang He's body and attacked the blood wolf behind him.

The other instantly formed two small fans that attached themselves behind Jiang He.

Awoo!

Buzz! Buzz!

The blood wolf's pained howl and the whirring of the fans sounded almost simultaneously.

Although carrying two "electric fans" on his back looked a little unconventional, their effect was undeniable!

Jiang He's speed instantly increased severalfold!

Only then did he barely manage to shake off the blood wolf!

"Roar!"

After chasing him for a while longer, the blood wolf that the old woman had become let out a roar of unwillingness as it watched its prey gradually pull away.

Then it fell onto its back, its body shrinking rapidly until it returned to human form.

It seemed that her earlier transformation had merely been a final burst of vitality before death!

Huh?

Jiang He had clearly noticed it too. His rapidly pumping legs gradually slowed until he finally stopped.

He had only just awakened, after all, and didn't have much supernatural energy in his body. Running this far had already pushed him to his limit.

"Fuck!"

The moment he deactivated his sequence ability, Jiang He let out a howl of agony.

He had forgotten to separate the flames from his body, and now they had caught the alcohol on his pants and were spreading...

His supernatural energy was exhausted, and with a freshly roasted cock about to come out, Jiang He was nearly scared out of his wits!

Pushing his body almost to the limit, he stripped off his pants and shoes.

After doing so, he discovered there were still flames on his body.

He quickly rolled on the ground several times, finally averting the deadly danger to his "cock."

"Thank goodness, thank goodness..."

Jiang He let out a long breath, overjoyed to have survived...

He dug a fresh pair of pants and shoes out of the supplies he had collected and put them on, then looked hesitantly toward the old woman.

Seeing her still lying motionless on the ground, Jiang He wanted to go check on her, but he was afraid she might enter a Rampage state again.

"System, what's her danger rating now?"

Given what had happened before, Jiang He decided to ask the system first.

[A human at death's door.]

[Danger rating: 0]

"A human? Could it be that all level-three exotic beasts turn back into humans before they die?"

This series of bizarre events clearly conflicted somewhat with what Jiang He knew.

It wasn't as though he had never encountered exotic beasts in his previous life, but those had all been level-one and level-two creatures.

Once they fully mutated, they became beasts in the truest sense of the word!

They had no emotions or consciousness.

Driven solely by instinct, they ate every living creature they encountered. Even weird entities were on their menu.

This was the first time he had seen one switch freely between exotic beast and human, as she had today!

He took a step forward, steadily approaching the old woman.

Since the system had already made its assessment, he didn't need to worry anymore.

When Jiang He's face appeared in her field of vision, a glimmer finally returned to the old woman's cloudy eyes.

She said nothing, only patting her stomach repeatedly.

The strange gesture naturally caught Jiang He's attention.

He looked away from the old woman's face, and in an instant he spotted something amiss.

"What the hell is that?!"

Through the old woman's tattered clothes, Jiang He could clearly see her shriveled belly bulging from time to time, as though something inside were struggling!

[Ding]

[Level-three weird entity detected: weird driver]

[Ding]

[Level-two weird entity detected: fire-burned weird entity]

Two consecutive alerts sounded in Jiang He's mind, and he instantly understood!

No wonder he couldn't find the weird driver!

The blood wolf had swallowed it!

Somewhat shocked, he looked at the old woman's face, only to find her wearing a kindly smile.

Her eyes were fixed on the lightning-struck wood tucked into his waistband.

"You want me to kill them?"

The old woman's smile remained as she heard him, and she nodded with difficulty.

Clearly, her current condition wasn't good enough for her to digest the two weird entities.

The old woman knew this herself, which was why she wanted Jiang He to kill the two weird entities for her.

"Do you have a grudge against them?"

Jiang He didn't act immediately. Instead, he asked about his guess.

Ever since the old woman had boarded the bus, she had stayed alone in a corner and hadn't gotten into a conflict with anyone.

Even after mutating, she had only killed two weird entities. From beginning to end, she hadn't hurt a single person, and had even helped hold the weird entities off for the survivors...

If those people hadn't been so sure of themselves, the convoy's casualties wouldn't have been so severe.

The old woman clearly hadn't expected Jiang He to ask that. Her expression froze for a moment, then she pressed her lips together and nodded again.

His suspicion confirmed, Jiang He had no intention of asking further.

He slowly drew the lightning-struck wood from his waistband and gave the old woman one last faint smile.

Seeing this, her expression relaxed.

Perhaps it was the obsession she had been unable to let go of that had kept her going until now, despite her gravely wounded body.
