Chapter 779: Chapter 751 Step Over My Dead Body

"What kind of monster is this?"

That was the first thought that crossed Li Chen’s mind upon seeing the creature.

At first glance, the thing was already very close to humanoid in appearance.

It had a strong body, thick limbs, and even the individual bundles of its muscles were distinctly visible.

However, its eyes were definitely not human, nor could they be the result of a human mutating.

The bulging eyes, with a net-like iris unique to insects, showed that this creature was essentially an insect.

But how could an insect look so much like a human?

But soon, as the monster emerged from the darkness, Li Chen finally saw its full appearance.

It turned out that behind this monster, there actually were two pairs of insect wings!

"A mutated insect? No..."

Li Chen’s brows furrowed tightly as he searched his memory for any regional cryptids that could match the image before him.

At last, Li Chen landed on the possibility of it being one particular creature.

Mothman!

"It seems that all those creatures witnessed by people do indeed exist," Li Chen’s face revealed a touch of fascination.

First it was the Chupacabra, then the Jersey Devil, and now, even the ill-omened and disastrous Mothman of legend had appeared.

The Mothman had been seen numerous times and some had even captured blurry photographs.

But in the end, the witnesses all died under various circumstances within a short period. This fact was particularly chilling, so Mothman was also known as the harbinger of doom and disaster.

"I didn’t expect to encounter this thing myself; it seems I’m quite unlucky indeed," Li Chen tilted his head, his figure suddenly flashed as he charged towards the Mothman.

"Buzz!"

A muffled sound rang out as the Mothman, just having appeared, was suddenly punched and sent flying by Li Chen.

"Boom!!"

It crashed heavily into a tree, even causing a "crack" sound from the trunk, yet the Mothman simply lay on the ground for a few seconds before standing up again.

"Quite tough, indeed," Li Chen frowned, watching the Mothman, he couldn’t help but think to himself.

The Mothman had resisted his attack just now, but judging from its resistance, its strength should only be at the low-level Yellow Rank to the middle rank. In front of him, this level of power was simply too weak to bother with.

Yet, the resilience of the Mothman’s body was far beyond his expectations.

That punch of his just now could have critically injured an ordinary high-level Yellow Rank fighter, but the Mothman simply lay there for a bit, then got up again.

Suddenly, the Mothman looked at Li Chen, clenched its fist, and then pointed to the knife in Li Chen’s hand.

It seemed to indicate that it wanted Li Chen to put the knife away and engage in close combat.

"Interesting!"

A sinister smile appeared on Li Chen’s lips, "You dare to challenge me with the strength of the Yellow Rank?"

Putting away the Red Moon, Li Chen’s figure dashed forward once more, landing in front of the Mothman, his punches fell like a tempest on the creature.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

A series of frenzied pounding sounds ensued as the Mothman’s body, like a battered sack, was thrashed under Li Chen’s blows, looking as if it could be overturned at any moment in the storm.

But in the end, the Mothman actually endured through Li Chen’s assault.

Yet its body was likewise sent flying into the distance.

At the spot where it landed, a significant amount of blood spread out in all directions from beneath it.

Li Chen flicked his palm, "Not much strength, but this body sure is tough!"

At that moment, Catherine, who was at a distance, seemed to think of something and suddenly shouted towards Li Chen, "Boss! Jump into the water quickly!"

"Huh?" Li Chen’s face changed dramatically when he heard Catherine.

Although he did not know what Catherine meant, he knew that Catherine would never deceive him.

Moreover, at that time, he also felt that something was not right.

Li Chen looked at his own hands only to see that at some point, his hands were covered with a dust-like powder.

"Is this... Mothman’s dust?"

Li Chen also seemed to have realized something and took a step towards the lake.

However, just as he took a step, Li Chen felt his legs go soft and he fell to the ground.

"How is this possible?!"

A look of undisguisable shock appeared in Li Chen’s eyes.

At the same time, inside Li Chen’s body, a strange green energy was rapidly heading towards his heart.

"Hmph!"

Without time to think further, Li Chen immediately sat down cross-legged, activated his True Qi, and began frantically blocking that peculiar energy.

This thing was obviously highly poisonous, and once it truly reached his heart, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even though Li Chen was reluctant, he had to admit that this time, he had truly capsized in the gutter.

"Buzz buzz buzz..." Meanwhile, the Mothman that was downed nearby had stood up again.

Even though its movements were still difficult, it managed to stand up.

From its mouth came a series of bizarre sounds, as if it was laughing.

Glancing at Li Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, Mothman emitted bizarre sounds and slowly took steps towards Li Chen.

"Boss!"

The members of the Nether Army engaged in battle nearby also saw this scene and couldn’t help shouting loudly.

Unfortunately, they were also surrounded by enemies and couldn’t break through to assist Li Chen in a short time.

The Mothman’s pace wasn’t very fast, but the corner of its mouth lifted in a smile that was almost human, as if it already had Li Chen in its grasp.

Its poison, so far, it had not encountered anyone who could neutralize it in a short time.

Not even Li Chen!

Li Chen could also feel Mothman approaching, but at that moment, he had no solution.

Because all his focus was on fighting the toxin, and if he could just hold on a bit longer, once he had suppressed the toxin, he could regain his combat power.

But quite evidently, Mothman was not going to give him that time.

As Mothman was approaching Li Chen, suddenly a figure flashed before its eyes.

A silhouette appeared abruptly in front of it, standing between it and Li Chen.

Ning Wangyang slowly lifted the longsword in his hand, with the point of the blade directed at Mothman.

"Sorry, this guy is my boss, so I can’t let you kill him yet," said Ning Wangyang.

"Of course, if you really want to kill him you can try,"

"But first, step over my dead body."
