Chapter 327: Chapter 71: Bizarre Death, A New Birth (6K for Monthly Pass) _2

A giant octopus head, ten meters tall, emerged, its overwhelmingly powerful presence instantly enveloping everyone.

Tang Rou, already prepared to go down fighting, widened her eyes and muttered, "No, it can’t be possible... how could it be..."

The Octopus Monster no longer hid itself, revealing the full oppressive force of its strength.

It was not of the Second Rank.

It was clearly a Third Rank monster!

"Sssss~" The Octopus Monster, while nibbling and chewing on human corpses with its several tens of meters long tentacles stuffed into its oral cavity, glared down with its small eyes brimming with mockery, as if laughing at the futile struggles of the humans.

"My God, how could this happen..."

"Why is it Third Rank? Why!"

At that moment, everyone was in despair.

This terrifying scene chilled them to the bone, and Gu Pan’s eyes almost burst as the Octopus Monster chewed on, unmistakably, the body of her aunt, Gu Yue Ming.

"Damn monster, die, just die!"

At that moment, Gu Pan’s eyes turned blood red, completely clouded by rage.

She no longer cared about the vast difference in strength between herself and the opponent, merging with her sword in a swift, ground-skimming charge, unleashing her strongest attack—Reckless Strike!

Her strike was unstoppable, a matter of life and death.

Knowing she was bound to die, she intended to, at least, take a piece of the enemy with her, honoring the Gu Family’s ancestral teachings.

Just when everyone thought she was doomed,

a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on the face of the powerful Octopus Monster.

Before Gu Pan could even get close, there was a sudden crack, and a tremendous rift tore open in the sky, as if the world itself had been violently ripped apart!

Boom!

A loud explosion.

The moment the sky cracked, the Octopus Monster’s entire body collapsed to the ground, and the massive shockwave threw everyone into the air.

When they regained their senses, they saw every inch of the Octopus Monster tightly pressed against the ground, yet streaks of light from the crack in the sky shone down, enveloping it.

Its expression was ferocious, filled with terror; its flesh stretched thin and long, appearing as if the light from above had sucked it up.

Its body was melting, its life fading away!

"Wuu~hou!"

The Octopus Monster struggled vigorously, but it was futile.

With a snap,

the survivors from the hunting party watched in horror as the Octopus Monster’s body neatly split into four parts, eventually shrinking into tiny, globe-like shapes and rising into the sky.

In just an instant, this monster that had posed a severe threat disappeared mysteriously.

The crack in the sky also vanished, as if it had never been there.

Only four large, round pits remained on the ground, evidence of its existence.

"Ah?"

"This is..."

"What happened?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, no one knowing what had actually happened.

Amidst this powerful and shocking scene, no one noticed the two-faced, six-armed statue behind them almost splitting completely in half.

It wobbled as it regained its form, then its head swiveled.

Initially, the "furious, glaring" face was directed at everyone.

Then, as the head turned, it became the "kind, gentle" face.

"Auntie..." Gu Pan looked at the remains on the ground, her eyes reddening. Reminiscing about the scenes from her upbringing by her aunt, grief welled up inside her.

She was about to cry out loud, but suddenly, she jolted, feeling as though she had fallen from a great height.

Then, she opened her eyes and found herself sitting in a car that was slowly moving forward through a wildly overgrown wilderness.

Beside her, Gu Yue Ming was chattering non-stop, "Panpan, you’re awake? This place used to be..."

Gu Pan looked bewildered.

Huh?

Awake? Who am I? Where am I?

"Was I just dreaming?"

Gu Pan slapped her forehead hard, her mind a blank, vaguely recalling something, yet unable to remember it entirely.

Anyone who frequently daydreams knows that if you fall asleep during the day and dream, upon waking, you will feel detached from the world, unable to remember anything.

That was how Gu Pan felt at that moment.

"Clearly, we are on a hunt, and I actually fell asleep! That was really careless!"

Gu Pan silently chided herself.

But at that moment, suddenly,

the convoy came to a halt.

Someone ahead called out,

"Stop everyone, there’s something up ahead."

Gu Pan and Gu Yue Ming also got out of the car to check.

As they stepped out, they suddenly heard a strange sound from the driver:

"—...four pieces!"

Gu Pan shuddered, stopping dead in her tracks, and stared intensely at the driver, "What did you just say? What four pieces?"

The driver, a retired soldier from the Patrol Team, was startled, "Huh? Madam, what are you talking about?"

"Repeat what you just said."

"Speak? Madam, I didn’t say anything just now!"

"No, you did!" Gu Pan looked at him firmly, very certain.

What he said was, turned into four pieces!

—

"These four place names are really something else, huh?"

In the midst of chaos, Xu Shu, who had just entered the legendary mode, twitched his mouth.

At that moment, he was choosing "Second Draw Legendary."

According to the existing rules, the first step is to choose one out of four "birthplaces", followed by choosing one "character role."

At that moment, what appeared before him was:

[Please choose one of the following four locations as your place of birth.]

[1, Little Raccoon City; 2, Raccoon City; 3, Big Raccoon City; 4, Bear City]
