Chapter 219: Chapter 207: Fairy Tale Twelve

It happened in the blink of an eye, just within that half-second of sudden change, Bai Xiong took a stride forward, pressing onwards. After the ion shield sprang open, its surface shimmered with a faint blue glow, its special design capable of storing most of the force exerted on the shield’s surface and releasing it upon collision to a certain degree. The threshold of this impact force could be adjusted, meaning it could either release multiple quick bursts or concentrate all stored energy in a single, massive strike. This design was effective against both rank-and-file troops and large, abnormal creatures. Coupled with the newly equipped buffer armor Bai Xiong had just swapped into, in mere minutes, he had turned into an aggressive, meaty tank that became fiercer with each hit.

Seeing this, the others quickly drew their weapons, firing a storm of bullets upon the woman.

Although ammunition was expended with every shot, as long as bullets could solve the problem, then it wasn’t really a problem! So, in such a situation, no one was thinking about saving ammo.

But what followed... was the realization of a rather unfortunate circumstance.

All the bullets seemed to only make "puff puff" sounds as they hit the squishy body, piercing through the outer layer and disappearing without a trace. Meanwhile, the woman herself seemed entirely unaffected, not even slowing in her advancement as she writhed, her fleshy body inching closer and closer to the group.

"Hey, what’s going on here?" the redhead shouted again, "It’s so unfair for every monster to be immune to bullets."

Well... indeed.

What he was shouting was precisely what everyone was thinking at that moment. It seemed that their relied-upon weapons were utterly useless against these disgusting creatures, either failing to penetrate or being ineffective even when they did.

Just then, a flash of cold light streaked by. The five people from Team Tea Sparrow didn’t even have time to process what was happening when suddenly, the woman’s tender body bore a horrific gash without any warning.

Song Xuan’s slender figure appeared beside the gash for half a second, then turned into an afterimage once again.

"Swish—swish—swish," a succession of sounds of a blade cutting through flesh was all anyone could hear. At the same time, the entity with numerous legs—it was hard to say what it should be called—began to display deep cuts one after another, its white, tender flesh oozing out like soft butter, quickly pooling into a puddle of glutinous white liquid at its base.

Now, the creature was certainly not calm. Compared to the recent barrage of bullets, it seemed to be more afraid of these few large cuts. As a result, it screamed sharply. The "feet" covering its body began to kick and flail wildly. Moreover... the scream was as tangible as a physical entity, solidly hitting everyone present.

Without a doubt, this was an attack akin to a sonic weapon. Since Song Xuan was closest to the creature, she felt as though she had slammed into a wall. She was thrown to the ground, her head splitting with pain, her internal organs as though they had been struck by a tremendous blow, barely suppressing the urge to vomit.

People further away fared no better, all shaken until their world spun, hardly able to stand, let alone continue shooting... And Bai Xiong, probably due to his enhanced hearing and perception, fell directly to the ground and passed out.

...

Fortunately, the roaring didn’t last long and soon stopped.

But what was unacceptable was that the wounds Song Xuan had just inflicted on the creature were healing at a visible rate, closing up so completely that no trace could be seen in no time.

And once the creature stopped its howling, it immediately focused on Bai Xiong, who had collapsed nearby... Its immense body writhing, with countless legs assisting, though not moving as quickly as the siblings from before, it was definitely not slow either.

What was even more terrifying was that during its movement, the front end of its body, specifically the "waist" area below the woman’s part where it connected to the white earthworm-like thing, opened up with a slit, ferociously ripping open on both sides.

That slit was unmistakably a "mouth," filled densely with sharp teeth gnashing swiftly, dripping with thick, stringy saliva.

It’s just too disgusting...

In this extremely critical moment, Bai Xiong had already pressed forward with his shield, smashing like a cannonball into the side of the monster. The energy just stored in the ion shield was released in an instant, and with a muffled "boom," the body of the monster was shaken by the massive impact force, spinning several times and falling far away.

This also gave the others time to react. Fatty was closest to Slacker Bro and hurriedly scrambled to stabilize his stature, took three steps in twos, and reached Slacker Bro. Grabbing him by the collar, he flung him over his shoulder with a move reminiscent of a "waiter flicking a rag to wipe the table," and then he took off running.

The next second, the monster shook its head, scrambled up, and it was clear that Bai Xiong’s collision had enraged her. Her legs and back bristled crazily or stood straight up like an angry porcupine, and she opened that disgustingly grotesque "mouth" beneath her, charging at an even faster speed than before.

...

Everyone had survived countless life-and-death situations, and faced with this scene, they immediately relied on their past experience to come up with the right countermeasures...

Turn around and run like hell.

Chen Xiao, even more so, had started running when the monster stopped howling, and was already several streets away by now.

Nonsense, the creature wasn’t afraid of knives or guns, could regenerate, and screamed with indiscriminate ultrasonic attacks. Why the hell would one fight such an opponent?

...

"Hey, where’s your shield? Go charge at her again!" Red Hair shouted from the top of his lungs.

Bai Xiong, expressionless, ran and responded, "No more energy!" before accelerating, whooshing off into the distance.

Red Hair was left with a face full of black lines... then shouted again, "Hey, have your prosthetics recovered yet?"

Brother Egg was also howling, "If it was healed, wouldn’t I have gone up earlier?" Then he, too, picked up the pace a bit.

So, there was a scene of a beauty with a several meters long, giant caterpillar-like body chasing a bunch of screaming people all over the streets.

However, the monster seemed to be a bit faster than everyone, so the distance between them was getting closer.

At this extremely critical moment...

"Holy shit!!!" The runners saw something, they cursed as if they couldn’t believe their own eyes.

They saw Chen Xiao, who had run away first, turn his head from up front, grinning broadly, and running back towards the others.
