Chapter 319: Chapter 69 Heroic Hero, Three Corpses Chase Tails (5K for monthly votes)

"So-called ’A scholar away for three days should be looked at with new eyes,’ Xu Shu felt this was precisely about himself.

Looking back, he’d been a mere warrior, utterly helpless when facing such bizarre and elusive enemies.

With creatures spouting all that mystical babble, one usually had no choice but to brace oneself and march forward, relying solely on a Jingwei Filling the Sea-like ironclad body to bluntly probe and figure out what the enemy truly was, often through life-threatening ordeals, before finally deciding whether to fight or flee.

Now, he had lost all fear.

As the enchanting singing lingered in his ears, resonating for days untouched, a smile curled at the corner of Xu Shu’s mouth as he shook his head and swaggered forward:

"I’ve got Narrow Sleeve Guanyin, I can rest easy, hahaha!" you bellowed with laughter, stepping into the hotel lobby, heading straight towards the decayed corpse on the floor.

Waves of tangible sound filled the hall, performing a symphony of sorts, the lingering melody enshrouding the rotting corpse.

But in just a mere ten breaths, the corpse couldn’t fake it anymore. Its body rapidly inflated, giving you a ’Giant’s Viewing,’ and with a booming explosion, it burst into rotten flesh everywhere, truly an eye-opening experience for you.

At the same time, its true form was forced out by you, revealing a monster snake spanning over three meters, but with a head not much larger than a delicate young woman’s. However, its midsection was grotesquely swollen, easily three to five decimeters thick.

It rose upright, its eyes bulging extraordinarily, resembling a human pregnant woman.

"Sssss~" As the strange snake hissed at you, you didn’t utter a word and approached, landing a solid punch on its belly, sending it flying, while cursing, "Hiss your aunt!"

Dammit, show some respect for the pregnant, will you? People even give up their seats for them on the bus, and this is how you treat her?

But you were not satisfied with just that, as it appeared very resilient to punches. You went up and grabbed its vital spot, delivering punches after punches, making the monster snake spit out its insides, endlessly regurgitating bitterness.

Nice punching! Bravo bravo, cheers from the audience!

The monster snake, rough-skinned and hard-fleshed, was beaten up by you in a frenzy. It finally made an almost human expression of rolling up its eyes, wailing richly, "No no... damn humans... no no, stop, stop hitting me."

"It can speak human language?" As you marveled, the scales on the head of the strange snake retracted, revealing a woman’s face, smooth and fair-skinned, with sparkling large eyes that could only be seen in the exaggerated proportions of anime characters.

However, due to the uncanny valley effect, most people would break out in goosebumps upon seeing it.

Seeing her, you mused inwardly, "Hiss, she’s quite pretty, just excessively pale. She’s very similar to geishas in certain films; it seems even more bizarre. She’s a Snake-man, and Beautiful Snake is a snake-man; could her weakness also be Michelin Miao Miao House?"

You gestured towards her bloated belly with your fist, eager to try.

?

You’re not right in the head. But this is indeed just like you, you vile creature.

"I’m wrong... Please, have mercy on me~" This special monster actually began begging for mercy from you, and at the same time, you learned of her species—Nie Qiba.

"Nie what? Some kind of host?" You were astonished, never expecting such a ridiculous creature. Bah, lewd, obscene.

It’s hard to say whether you or the monster is more outlandish. Thrown onto a street like you, a freak, would surely be scorned by normal humans, but the Tai Chu Scroll kindly translated it for you—Nie Qiba, not squeezing jiba, you soulless wretch!

Nie Qiba, a unique kind of monster, an exotic species with strong dark attributes. Since it’s not a complete dark creature, it can’t compare in regenerative abilities to pure dark creatures. However, the plus side is it doesn’t fear sunlight.

She...

Wait.

Dark creatures? Fear of sunlight?

A lightbulb went off for Xu Shu.

This immediately reminded him of the Vampire Baron he had encountered previously, as well as the human nemesis, ’yin ghost’, from the legendary ’Capital City Night Boiling.’

Both were strange creatures that would perish under the sun’s rays and also possessed nearly undying bodies.

Could it be, this had something to do with the so-called ’dark attributes’? Were they all so-called dark creatures?

What about the specifics?

"Tai Chu Scroll, explain in detail!"

This sparked Xu Shu’s thirst for knowledge, wishing to obtain more information.

Unfortunately, the Tai Chu Scroll lacked this ’operational’ aspect. Whether in legendary mode or journey mode, there were no such straightforward dialogue boxes or means to directly control it; it was more like a ’simulation game + narrator.’

Therefore, Xu Shu could only watch helplessly as key information flashed by.

Damn it, how frustrating! Give me a detailed page!

Xu Shu cursed silently.

She looked at you pitifully, big teardrops rolling down her face as she pleaded, "Please let me go, I’ve never done any harm."

You thought to yourself, if you hadn’t done anything wrong, were the original residents of this hotel devoured by dogs? What bullshit are you spewing.

But you didn’t rush to kill her. Instead, you stared into her teary, beautiful face and asked, "Tell me the truth, how did you manage to create a corpse that looked so much like me just now?"

It seemed that while you didn’t say it out loud, the sight of a corpse that resembled yours still made your hair stand on end.

"heehee. Have you ever considered that you might already be dead?" she winked at you teasingly.
