Chapter 656: Chapter 646 Hu Yanbing’s Qi

After all the leaves had fallen, it wasn’t the familiar Zhang Chunmao that appeared in front of Hu Yanbing, but a humanoid monster with green patterns on its skin.

The monster looked around in a daze at first, then its green eyes locked onto Hu Yanbing and it extended its black, forked tongue, licking its lips.

After being glanced at by the monster, Hu Yanbing broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that the creature was about to attack him.

Without wasting time to investigate, Hu Yanbing turned and darted into the duty booth. He had just managed to close and lock the door when Zhang Chunmao’s fist had already pounded on the iron door.

Hu Yanbing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, realizing that if he hadn’t entered the duty booth but instead fled elsewhere, he would have already been caught by the creature, as it moved much faster than an ordinary person!

Even though Hu Yanbing had hidden inside the office, the green-skinned monster didn’t plan to let him go. It circled the small booth, and then used its head to smash into the glass right in front of Hu Yanbing.

Using its head to break the glass seemed to prove the monster’s low intelligence, but the cracks forming on the tempered glass told Hu Yanbing that this creature wasn’t just faster than normal people, its strength and ability to withstand damage were also much higher!

After several bangs, the glass shattered, and without hesitation, Hu Yanbing swung the steel pipe in his hand toward the creature’s head. His movements were swift and decisive, as if he was quite accustomed to smashing heads with a steel pipe.

The situation seemed dire, but Hu Yanbing remained unusually calm. Despite the broken glass, there was still an iron grille inside the window, which the green-skinned monster shouldn’t be able to break through quickly. Before that happened, Hu Yanbing would have a chance to crush its skull!

But just as he had swung the steel pipe a couple of times, something unexpected happened—the green-skinned monster’s head split open on its own, and a tentacle that extended from its throat pierced deep into Hu Yanbing’s neck.

After the tentacle was retracted, Hu Yanbing’s blurred vision saw that the tip of the tentacle was like a syringe, which had likely just injected something into his body.

Once the injection was complete, the green-skinned monster seemed to lose interest in Hu Yanbing. Its movements slowed again, and it hobbled toward the deeper parts of the compound.

The wound caused by the tentacle wasn’t deep, but it was enough to cause Hu Yanbing to bleed continuously. Without prompt treatment, he would certainly bleed out and die. Driven by the instinct to survive, he unlocked the iron door, hoping to quickly get to a nearby clinic for emergency treatment.

The sunlight was warm on his skin, and it seemed as if the pain in his neck was lessening...

Hu Yanbing was startled. He suddenly remembered the entire process of Zhang Chunmao’s transformation. It was clear that Zhang Chunmao was completely normal before coming out of the garage, and it was only after being exposed to sunlight that he had grown strange plants on his body and turned into that terrifying monster.

That meant if Hu Yanbing continued to bask in the sunlight, he too might transform into that hideous green-skinned monster!

He ran into the underground garage as fast as he could, without any hesitation. Only after reaching the shadows inside did he let out a sigh of relief, and then he slowly sat down on the ground.

The physical exertion had caused his neck to bleed even more. Continuing like this, he reckoned he would die soon, but even so, dying like this would be much better than turning into a green-skinned monster.

The blood loss made Hu Yanbing’s consciousness grow dim, and he thought back on his past—it was possibly the legendary "life flashing before his eyes."

In high school, he was much more glorious than now, a legendary ’boss’ among the local delinquents.

Back then, he was called Abing the Teenage King, relying on sheer momentum in fights. Wielding a baseball bat, he could knock down several older students, and in one-on-one fights, he was unbeaten.

But after graduating from high school, he realized that his former buddies had gone on to college or found jobs, so he, who knew nothing but fighting, finally became nothing more than an ordinary security guard just to make a living.

The sharpness in him gradually wore off, and if he were still his former self, he would never have been injured by the green-skinned monster.

If he could do it all over again... he would never let himself die in such a disgraced manner!

Suddenly, a mystical valve inside his body opened, and his weak body stood up with the support of some strength, as the muscles in his neck automatically sealed the wound to stop the bleeding.

Just like before, there was a certain momentum supporting his body, and as long as that momentum was there, he would not fall.

It was at that moment that he saw a man in a khaki-colored long coat, one hand in his pocket, and the other holding a head, a green one.

This man was Wen Wen. He looked at Hu Yanbing with a hint of surprise and said, "Tch, to awaken under such circumstances. It seems you’re saved for now, but you better not leave this garage before medical help arrives."

After saying that, Wen Wen walked towards the deepest part of the underground parking garage. In the current situation, he couldn’t afford to waste time for a passerby.

He snapped his fingers to summon the Faceless Demon to take on his appearance, leading several monsters to handle the nearby outbreak. The infected were definitely not limited to Zhang Chunmao alone.

Meanwhile, Wen Wen himself had other matters to attend to—he was to stake out near Master Feng Bei, waiting for the appearance of Ais Wakaz. Only by detaining Dr. Feng completely would such incidents be avoided in the future.

Wen Wen had long instructed Tao Qingqing, under the pretext of assisting Master Feng Bei, to stick close by him. This allowed Wen Wen to appear near Master Feng Bei at any time, and the weak Tao Qingqing wouldn’t raise Ais Wakaz’s suspicions.

...

At this time, Master Feng Bei and Tao Qingqing were at another source of the virus, facing a different situation than Wen Wen.

The successfully infected monsters here moved slowly and would die if their heads were severely injured. However, they bore nearly invisible, needle-like hairs that could potentially infect with mere skin contact.

And their contagion was extremely rapid, so even though Master Feng Bei arrived very quickly, the infection had already scaled up significantly.

Master Feng Bei was not at all panicked. With a pat on the small bag at his waist, a dozen various monsters appeared, swiftly cleaning up the infected and easily controlling the situation to prevent the infection from spreading.

The weakest of these dozen monsters were of the Lower Sequence. That’s the real power of being a legendary Beast Tamer; one person could be a small monster army.

Of course, Wen Wen could do even more exaggerated feats than Feng Bei at any time.

With these monsters present, Master Feng Bei didn’t need to take action himself. So after hesitating for a moment, he turned to Tao Qingqing and asked, "May I ask you a question?"

Tao Qingqing gave a professionally fake smile and replied, "Of course, I’m here to assist you."

Master Feng Bei nodded and said, "Then I’ll speak frankly. I once tried to tame vampires too, but their bloodlust was a hurdle I couldn’t overcome. So may I ask how Mr. Gui Tan tamed you? What kind of training you underwent, what kind of feed you were given..."
