Chapter 549: Chapter 545: Perils at Every Turn

At this moment, Fang Xiaocao and Unhappy had already gotten out of the car.

Seeing Mantis trapped in crisis, their faces turned pale with shock.

"Unhappy, go!"

Without hesitation, Fang Xiaocao immediately ordered Unhappy to rescue Mantis.

Though anxious, Fang Xiaocao didn’t lose her rationality.

She didn’t let Tom go save Mantis.

Among Fang Xiaocao’s four-member team, Unhappy had the strongest close-combat abilities. In situations where Taotie wasn’t insane and recklessly unleashing its full firepower, Unhappy could fight Taotie to a draw.

Since Taotie could hold its own against a Super Master, logically speaking, Unhappy could too.

That’s why Fang Xiaocao sent Unhappy.

Upon hearing Fang Xiaocao’s command, Unhappy immediately launched forward, pouncing straight at the Suture Monster.

At this moment, the Suture Monster had already smashed the windshield.

It was reaching inside to grab Mantis.

Mantis couldn’t open the car door in time and broke out in cold sweat. Facing the massive hand of the Suture Monster reaching toward her, Mantis didn’t dare to fight it head-on. She quickly pressed the seat adjustment button to recline backward, narrowly dodging the hand.

"Idiot!"

That’s when Unhappy arrived.

With a loud roar, Unhappy seized the moment when the Suture Monster wasn’t paying attention and forcefully tackled the massive creature off the hood of the car and onto the ground.

Unhappy mounted the Suture Monster, raised his fists, and began raining punches down, each strike heavier than the last, smashing into the creature with relentless force.

The Suture Monster seemed momentarily stunned from the fall.

It stayed motionless under Unhappy’s pummeling, not resisting or evading in the slightest.

Mantis seized the opportunity to push open the car door and jumped out.

The next second!

A dark shadow plunged from the sky, smashing heavily onto the car roof. The roof instantly caved in, nearly flattening the vehicle.

Mantis froze in horror, turning to look toward the car.

She saw that the figure lying atop the squashed car was none other than Unhappy. At that moment, Unhappy was clutching his chest, blood spurting from his mouth. Struggling to get up, he tried several times but failed.

Mantis panicked and dashed forward to help Unhappy, but after taking only two steps, she felt a sharp gust of wind behind her. Not daring to be careless, Mantis immediately sidestepped to evade.

Bang—

Crash—

A deafening noise echoed alongside the sound of shattering glass.

Mantis turned back to look, only to see the Suture Monster’s fist crushing into the car door, denting a large chunk of metal. The shattered glass splintered into pieces on impact.

The Suture Monster withdrew its fist, turned to Mantis, and grinned maliciously. Mantis instantly became alert.

She prepared herself for battle. Even though she knew she was no match for Unhappy—and Unhappy himself had already been taken out by this monster—she refused to back down.

As a Martial Artist, she never admitted defeat.

Running away from a fight was not the act of a true warrior.

To draw her blade against a formidable enemy was the essence of being a Martial Artist.

The Suture Monster sensed Mantis’s hostility.

An excited glint sparked in its eyes.

In the next instant!

The Suture Monster began to move.

Standing three meters tall, it was shockingly quick. In a flash, it closed the distance and appeared before Mantis.

Its grotesque hands, shaped like claws from some unknown beast, swung downward with a sharp gust of wind toward Mantis.

Already prepared, Mantis reacted instantly, dodging the attack with agile movements. At the same time, she seized the chance to counterattack with a whipping kick aimed at the Suture Monster’s abdomen.

Bang—

The strike landed!

But Mantis winced in pain.

Her leg felt as though it had kicked a solid metal post stripped of its cushioning. The sharp, piercing pain shot up her leg bones, spreading through her body. Mantis quickly withdrew with caution.

Once she stopped and steadied herself, she stood on tiptoe.

Evidently, her leg had been injured from the impact.

The injury slightly impeded her mobility.

However, the Suture Monster—likely not even able to qualify as human—clearly had no concept of pity or mercy.

With a grim, twisted smile, the Suture Monster charged at Mantis like a cannonball.

Mantis gritted her teeth and summoned all her strength.

She clashed violently with the Suture Monster, exchanging blows instantly for ten or more rounds. During the fight, Mantis narrowly escaped death several times, barely surviving the Suture Monster’s brutal attacks.

Watching the scene unfold, Fang Xiaocao and Tom finally snapped out of their shock. Fang Xiaocao shouted to Tom, "Tom, go assist Mantis. That creature is a Super Master. Be careful not to let it touch you."

"I’ll go check on Unhappy."

Tom nodded. "Got it!"

He drew the pair of daggers from his waist.

With a strong step forward, he dashed toward the Suture Monster.

Meanwhile, Fang Xiaocao approached the front of the car, climbed onto the roof, and inspected Unhappy’s injuries.

It turned out Unhappy wasn’t seriously hurt—just two fractured ribs. For a regular person, broken ribs would severely impair combat power, but for someone like Unhappy with an abnormal physique, it was only a minor setback.

The reason Unhappy couldn’t get up was because his leg was stuck in the car’s sunroof.

After confirming the extent of his injuries, Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief and helped Unhappy free his leg from the sunroof. "Unhappy, move your foot a bit."

Fang Xiaocao was worried that Unhappy’s foot might have been hurt, so she immediately asked him to try moving it.

Unhappy, ever obedient to Fang Xiaocao, promptly stretched out his leg.

Confirming he was unharmed, Unhappy flashed a grin at Fang Xiaocao.

His gaze shifted toward the Suture Monster, and a glint of excitement surfaced in his eyes.

Unhappy, driven by his innate wild and combative spirit, had been provoked to his limit by the formidable Suture Monster. He was eager to settle the score.

Seeing Unhappy’s determination, Fang Xiaocao smiled slightly and patted his bald head.

She had worried that the Suture Monster might scare Unhappy into developing psychological trauma.

But as it turned out, she had overthought it.

"Unhappy, stay safe. Go ahead."

Fang Xiaocao gave her command to Unhappy.

"Idiot!"

Unhappy hurled Taotie’s signature insult at the Suture Monster, launching himself forward like a crazed beast, his limbs propelling him straight at the monster.

Once, three heroes fought Lu Bu; now, three heroes were fighting this monster. Fang Xiaocao wanted to join the battle too.

But alas, her close-combat skills couldn’t compare to Tom or the others, leaving her unqualified to participate.

She could only stand by, frustrated and pacing in circles.

At the same time, she mentally cursed Taotie, who was sleeping like a dead pig and completely useless during such a critical moment.

Fang Xiaocao’s eyes darted back and forth, and she pulled out several hidden weapons, eyeing the Suture Monster.

"I wonder if my hidden weapons can penetrate this Suture Monster’s defenses."

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

She was well aware of the power of Mantis’s Praying Mantis Fist. Yet even Mantis couldn’t injure the Suture Monster, which had shaken Fang Xiaocao’s confidence.

The Suture Monster’s skin was incredibly thick.

Not to mention Mantis—even Tom’s daggers hadn’t inflicted any tangible damage on the creature.

Fang Xiaocao gritted her teeth and decided to try anyway.

It was better than doing nothing at all.

Steeling herself, Fang Xiaocao stopped hesitating.

Her wrist flicked repeatedly.

Swish, swish, swish—

One by one, the hidden weapons shot out, directly targeting the Suture Monster’s face.

Fang Xiaocao understood that her hidden weapons were small.

Against the Suture Monster’s thick skin, hitting its body would hardly cause significant damage.

But striking its eyes would yield the best results.

If she could take out the Suture Monster’s eyes.

Deprived of its vision, the Suture Monster’s threat would be greatly reduced, creating opportunities for Tom and the others to act.
