Chapter 772 - 744: Chupacabra!

Chapter 772: Chapter 744: Chupacabra!

The cold light slowly converged as Ning Wangyang sheathed his sword once again.

And the monster was already lying on the ground, its body severed in two.

At the side, the man who was previously in a stupor seemed to finally come to his senses and approached Li Chen and the others, immediately kneeling down.

"Thank you! I’m really grateful! If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid I would have already..." The man spoke with residual fear.

Li Chen gently shook his head and didn’t respond to the man’s words, instead turning to look at the monster next to them.

The man was quickly taken aside by the Nether Army and made to sit down, while Li Chen came to the side of the monster and began a careful inspection.

"This thing..."

The more Li Chen looked at the monster, the more astonished he became.

In the end, even Li Chen’s expression became peculiar.

"Do you recognize this creature?" Ning Wangyang asked Li Chen with some surprise.

"I’ve only heard of it," Li Chen shook his head, "but I never thought I would actually see it with my own eyes this time."

"Moreover, I think you might have heard of this creature as well."

"What creature?" Ning Wangyang couldn’t help but ask with curiosity.

"If I’m not mistaken, its name should be... Chupacabra!" Li Chen’s tone turned strange.

"Chupacabra?" Ning Wangyang was also taken aback, "The bloodsucking monster that’s been rumored in North America, the Chupacabra?"

"Looking at its form, it is very similar to what those eyewitnesses described," Li Chen nodded, "only, such a creature has never left any substantial footage or photographs. Due to distortions in the retelling, it has become a legend."

Ning Wangyang nodded and said no more. To him, what kind of monster it was didn’t matter. He had seen many monsters during the fight against the Beast Tide, and in his view, this monster was not much different from those in the Relic.

"But, how could a Chupacabra appear here?" Li Chen wondered aloud.

At this time, the man who was previously terrified seemed to have calmed down, approaching Li Chen, "Sir, you should... leave quickly, otherwise, there will be big trouble."

"Big trouble?" Li Chen asked, puzzled.

At that moment, there was suddenly some noise from the doorway.

Everyone turned to look, only to see two members of the Nether Army bringing Lisa over, looking rather helpless.

Upon entering, Lisa spotted the corpse of the Chupacabra on the ground and her face couldn’t help but show a level of resentment rare for her age.

Her parents had been taken away by this creature, forcing her to hide in the house alone and subsist on biscuits. Seeing the monster, Lisa’s emotions became visibly unstable.

"Big brother, you guys should hide first," Lisa said to Li Chen and the others.

"Hmm?" Hearing Lisa’s words, Li Chen’s face became even more curious.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Let me explain," the man at one side let out a sigh and shook his head, "This creature is the legendary Chupacabra, of that I am certain!"

"Actually, even though this kind of creature has been sighted around here for several years, everyone didn’t pay too much attention to it. After all, they had not formally appeared in our lives and hadn’t really affected us."

"But, just a few months ago, something happened, and everything changed."

"Chupacabra appeared in the town in broad daylight for the first time, and it killed two people right there. We took up arms in resistance and shot the Chupacabra to death. However, we didn’t realize that it was just the beginning of a nightmare."

"After that, dozens of Demons appeared in our town at the same time, killing many people. In the end, they even abducted a few before retreating back into the forest," the man said, shaking his head.

"Then, you just hid in your houses?" Ning Wangyang asked, "Don’t you know to run away, to leave this town?"

"We dream of leaving!" the man’s tone was somewhat agitated.

"At first, there were people who fled, but it wasn’t long before everyone realized that the ones who had already left had their vehicles abandoned not far from the town, with bloodstains inside. After that, no one dared to escape on their own," the man said, shaking his head.

Li Chen’s face showed a dawning realization; those abandoned vehicles they saw outside the town when they entered were from those who had attempted to flee.

"So, this thing has intelligence?" Li Chen furrowed his brows, suspecting that the monsters were doing this to serve as a warning to others.

"After that, we were trapped in our own houses, not daring to stray too far from home even during the day," the man said with a bitter smile.

"But, isn’t the Chupacabra only supposed to appear at night? Why are you scared to go out during the day?" Li Chen asked.

"Because it’s not the only Demon," Lisa suddenly piped up.

"You mean, there are other things?"

"Yes! Besides Chupacabra, there are other Demons," the man said with a wry smile. "We should hurry and escape, find another house to take shelter in. These Demons, upon sensing their companion’s death, will definitely come for revenge."

Li Chen looked up, locking eyes with Ning Wangyang.

Both saw the same thing in each other’s gaze.

"I also think you’re right," Li Chen nodded and then turned to one of the Nether Army beside him, "Take him to where Lisa is, and keep them both safe."

"Yes!" the Nether Army member stood at attention.

Li Chen and Ning Wangyang, however, picked up the body of the Chupacabra and walked out of the house.

"Hey, what are you guys planning to do?" the man asked, his eyes widening at Li Chen’s actions.

"Big brother!" Lisa also called out from behind.

"Little Lisa, it’s very late. You should go to bed," Li Chen said with a smile as he patted Lisa’s head.

"Big brother, are you going to fight the Demon?" Lisa asked, staring at Li Chen with wide, unblinking eyes.

Li Chen hesitated for a moment, but then nodded.

"Then, big brother, if you defeat the Demon, can you help me find my mom and dad?" Lisa’s face was filled with a pleading look.

Li Chen fell silent. After a long while, he looked again at Lisa, "Don’t worry, big brother will definitely defeat the Demon and find your parents for you," he said.

"Mm!" Lisa nodded vigorously, and then, escorted by the Nether Army member, returned into the house.

At that moment, a rustling noise began to approach from the outskirts of the town.

Li Chen glanced at Ning Wangyang and the Nether Army beside him. With a quiet click, the Red Moon was already in Li Chen’s hand.

"Time to get to work!"
