Chapter 686: Chapter 335: Muscular Kobold_2

The others exchanged glances and followed close behind.

They felt that sticking together with Lin Baici was the safest option.

"Damn!"

Gao Heng complained, having intended to express his own opinions, only to find that everyone had already left, leaving him feeling quite embarrassed, especially since those who had supported and invited him to join earlier.

This indicated that in the minds of these people, Lin Baici was stronger and more reliable.

The cold night breeze swept through as everyone’s eyes were wide open, watching their surroundings.

"Don’t blink, and listen carefully with your ears perked!"

Gao Heng shouted.

Everyone wanted to huddle close together, but in a group, there were always those on the fringe, causing shoving as everyone naturally wanted to be closer to the center of the group.

Every ten seconds or so, Lin Baici would take a deep breath, despite the unpleasant odors in the air, all so he could detect the monster in time.

About six minutes later, Lin Baici suddenly sniffed a faint stench, identical to that on the two corpses they had found.

"It’s coming from the west!"

First, Lin Baici glanced to the north, then quickly turned toward the west.

In the pitch black, nothing could be seen.

Lin Baici looked up and ahead, then swiftly turned back, trying to catch the creature by surprise, but still without success.

"Could that thing be invisible?"

Lin Baici frowned.

No, that wasn’t right, the stench in the air was growing stronger, which meant the creature was getting closer.

Lin Baici activated Divine Grace, and the Clay Human moved through the underbrush under the cover of night. After about twenty seconds, the sound of Flying Stones slicing through the air echoed.

Whoosh!

"Here it comes!"

Lin Baici immediately turned, attempting to hurl his Bronze Sword to slay the creature, but the weapon remained sealed.

He had no idea how to lift the seal!

Crack!

A Flying Stone the size of a walnut struck a pine tree trunk, sending a burst of wood chips flying.

Hearing the commotion, everyone stopped and turned to look back.

"Stop hiding, I see you!"

Lin Baici sniffed the air and recalled the Clay Human.

Using it consumed Divine Power.

Following his enhancement with the Meteorite and God’s bones, Lin Baici was in good physical condition, and his reserves of Divine Power were also ample. However, like mana in an online game, it was always better to conserve as much as possible.

"Where?"

"Come out, I see you too!"

"How come I don’t see anything?"

The crowd was noisy and boisterous, but in fact, no one had actually seen the monster. By saying they did, they were trying to trick it.

"It’s in the sky!"

Lin Baici looked up.

"In the sky?"

Everyone else also lifted their heads, wondering, "Is it a flying monster?"

Then they saw a figure, nearly 1.9 meters tall, descending from above.

Whoosh!

The figure, light as a feather, landed silently on the ground.

"F*ck your mother, what the hell are you doing?"

Gao Heng cursed in his native tongue, angry at the figure, thinking it was a person. But when he got a good look at its face, he was stunned.

"Holy shit!"

It had the head of a dog.

"What the hell?"

The crowd scrutinized the murderer.

It was tall and muscular, with bulging muscles defined in blocks, like those of a bodybuilder who had trained specifically for competition.

"A bodybuilding enthusiast with a dog’s head?"

Li Yintong was astounded.

The Dog-headed creature wore only a pair of tight briefs and Climbing Boots, with all its muscles exposed and glistening with olive oil in the moonlight. It looked like a marinated frog, ready to be skewered and grilled.

Facing the crowd, the Dog-headed creature did not speak, nor did it show fear. It flexed its right arm and held onto its wrist with its left hand, puffed out its chest, balanced on the toes of its bent right leg, and struck a pose that spread the chest muscles, as seen in bodybuilding competitions.

Then came the front lat spread, the side triceps pose, followed by a turn to present its back to the crowd. With all muscles engaged, its back musculature bulged...

Full, firm, and powerful.

The Dog-headed creature maintained these poses as though showing off for judges in a competition, holding each for about five seconds, then facing the crowd again.

It raised both hands above its head, striking the classic ’Devil’s horns’ gesture.

A wave of force, like the tide, rushed over me.

"Holy shit, this arm is thicker than my waist!"

Hua Yue Yu was shocked.

In order to maintain her figure, she had also spent time in the gym and knew that to develop the kind of muscles this Gnoll had, one needed extreme discipline and supplements like protein powder and nitrogen pump, which was quite burdensome.

"..."

Unfortunately, she couldn’t use the Bodhi Messenger’s Cassock, or else Lin Baici would have liked to summon the Muscle Buddha to spar with this Gnoll.

The group watched the Gnoll warily, wondering what it intended to do.

"If you have more muscles than me, you can leave!"

The Gnoll spoke in a rough, calm voice, devoid of a murderous aura.

"..."

Everyone looked at this muscle maniac and felt like cursing.

Even though they were God Hunters with great physiques, even working out for eight hours a day, they couldn’t develop such muscles within half a year.

"This isn’t fair, we’re not bodybuilders!"

Jie Susi complained.

Gao Heng immediately gave Jie Susi a thumbs-up: "Brave enough to speak up first, truly worthy of the captain of the Statue of Liberty!"

It was a backhanded compliment, hoping that Jie Susi would continue his boldness and preferably provoke the Gnoll into fighting him.

The Gnoll crouched down, placed two thumbs on the ground, then lifted both feet, suspending itself in the air: "If you beat me, you can also leave!"

This pose required significant strength, flexibility, and balance, something even professional fighters couldn’t achieve.

"What if we can’t beat you?"

Jie Susi followed up.

"Die!"

The Gnoll answered tersely, its gaze sweeping over the people present.

No one was surprised by this, as the outcome was pretty obvious.

The Gnoll stopped talking and closed its eyes.

"What’s it trying to do? Show off its muscles?"

Huang Jinxiang touched his belly; his unrestrained eating habits had given him a bit of a potbelly.

Dorisan looked around and then whispered to Lin Baici, "God Lin, should we run back?"

They probably couldn’t win a fight, so it might be better to escape back to the apartment.

"Idiot, didn’t you see how this monster just killed people? Its physical condition is definitely better than yours!"

The subtext of Apa Sheng’s words was that they couldn’t outrun the monster: "Let’s gang up and kill it!"

"You’re the idiot!"

The implication from the Big Ocean Horse was that as long as you can run faster than others, that’s enough. With so many people around, even if it was a one-hit kill, the monster would still waste a lot of time.

[Follow its movements, those who can’t will be selected.]

Eater God commented.

Lin Baici raised an eyebrow and ordered everyone, "Do as it does!"

"What?"

Dorisan was puzzled: "Why?"

"Just do it, why so many questions?"

Li Yintong began scolding, she squatted down and placed both hands on the ground, lifted her legs and then she started to retract her fingers.

One!

Two!

...

Tai Mei lost her balance and tilted once she lifted the fourth finger.

"Damn it!"

Tai Mei complained.

This pose wasn’t easy for those who hadn’t practiced it.

Apa Sheng, who was Siamese and had trained in ancient Muay Thai, completed the move effortlessly and began instructing the others, "Breathe deeply, clear your mind, maintain balance, take your time!"

Lin Baici squatted down and began attempting the pose. While his fingers were strong enough, he had trouble maintaining balance, swaying back and forth.

Jin Ying and Hua Yue Yu failed immediately, let alone one thumb, even with both hands they lacked the arm strength to support their bodies.

"Can we switch to a yoga pose instead?"

Jin Ying felt ashamed, "I’m too weak, I don’t deserve you, Oppa."

"Why don’t you ask if it agrees?"

Apa Sheng, as strict as a cold-blooded drill sergeant, felt a sense of superiority because he had finally found something he was good at.

Although the rest didn’t understand the significance of Lin Baici’s actions, they saw him doing it and immediately began attempting the pose as well.

After all, following God Lin was always right.

Jie Susi could easily assume the position, but he was careful not to stand out or fall behind, so as not to draw the Gnoll’s attention.
