Chapter 782: Chapter 754: Behemoth

"Pff..."

The Mothman collapsed to the ground, its body beginning to twitch involuntarily as a result of natural reflexes.

Because its heart was no longer pumping blood, its body was rapidly deteriorating.

Although it was a monster, its physiological structure was still that of a living organism and couldn’t escape these commonalities.

"You... really deserve to die!" The Mothman suddenly opened its mouth, looking bitterly at Ning Wangyang.

Ning Wangyang lay not far from the Mothman, his body also covered in blood. Hearing the Mothman speak took him by surprise.

However, he didn’t respond, knowing that he had to focus all his energy on recovering, and speaking would just be a waste of effort.

Nevertheless, the shock in Ning Wangyang’s eyes couldn’t be concealed.

"This monster is truly high-grade, it can even speak?" Ning Wangyang couldn’t help but wonder, "But where did it learn to speak?"

"You... will regret this!" The Mothman’s speech was awkward, perhaps due to lack of practice or maybe because it was on the verge of death, and speaking seemed extremely laborious.

"You have interfered with the master’s descent plan. In the future, you, and everyone and everything you know, will be destroyed by the master’s fury! Just wait!" The Mothman slowly said, clearly nearing the end of its life.

"Hmm?" Ning Wangyang frowned.

He and Li Chen had guessed that these monsters had gathered for some purpose, but had been unable to ascertain exactly what. The Mothman’s words suggested they were preparing some sort of ritual to bring forth this ’master’?

"Human, do you know what our Mothman race is best at?" The Mothman’s already odd face took on an even stranger expression.

"Our Mothman race’s strength isn’t in battle, but in... curses!" The Mothman looked at Ning Wangyang, a bizarre smile on its face, then began muttering in a strange language.

As it muttered, Ning Wangyang suddenly felt something wriggling on his back, causing an itch.

"Bang!"

A gunshot tore through the night, silencing the Mothman’s mutterings.

The bullet penetrated the Mothman’s brain, bringing its muttering to an abrupt halt.

Looking up, Ning Wangyang saw Catherine walking over with a gun.

"Are you alright?" Catherine asked with concern, seeing Ning Wangyang covered in blood.

"I’m fine..." Sensing the itch on his back fade away, Ning Wangyang chuckled and shook his head, letting go of the matter.

"Where’s the boss?" Ning Wangyang asked, noticing that Li Chen was absent.

"I’m here." Li Chen walked over from one side. Seeing Ning Wangyang in a rather pitiful state, he couldn’t help but smile wryly, "I was careless this time."

"It’s okay," Ning Wangyang shook his head, "You’re not a god, boss. Besides, if you hadn’t slipped up twice, when would we ever get the chance to shine?"

Li Chen gave Ning Wangyang a surprised look, "You actually can make jokes?"

"Hahaha..." Seeing his bewildered expression, Catherine and Ning Wangyang couldn’t help but burst into laughter together.

Meanwhile, the fierce battle between the Nether Army and the Chupacabras had also come to an end.

Although several were seriously injured, not one had died, which made Li Chen breathe a sigh of relief.

These Chupacabras might sound terrifying in stories, but their actual combat power was merely enough to bully ordinary people. The Nether Army, seasoned in battle, was something they couldn’t handle.

Moreover, the soldiers Li Chen had brought with him were all real veterans.

"It’s good that you’re okay," Li Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

"Right, Boss, the poison in your body, it’s gone, isn’t it?" Ning Wangyang suddenly spoke up.

Li Chen heard this and slightly shook his head, "It’s a bit troublesome."

Although most of the toxins had been cleared from his body by Li Chen, there were still some that clung stubbornly within him, as if bonded permanently to his body, and no amount of flushing with True Qi could clean them off completely.

Moreover, Li Chen could feel that these toxins were gradually eroding his body. If he couldn’t get rid of them quickly, there would likely be big trouble.

"What the hell is this stuff?" Li Chen couldn’t help feeling a headache coming on.

"By the way, Wangyang, you weren’t poisoned, were you?" Li Chen asked, noticing Ning Wangyang’s condition.

"Don’t know, but I don’t feel anything for now," Ning Wangyang shook his head.

Thinking back, he indeed had several close encounters with the Mothman, but he didn’t feel any of the symptoms Li Chen was talking about.

After pondering for a while and coming up with no answer, Ning Wangyang decided not to dwell on it anymore.

Anyway, as far as he was concerned, it was good enough to be alive.

"Forget it, as long as you’re okay, let’s head back first," Li Chen turned to Catherine and said, "Catherine, come with me to Linchuan. I’ve moved all of Quentin Mingji there now."

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Catherine nodded and smiled, "Great, I’ve been wanting to see my old friends too. Boss, Wangyang, it’s really good to see you guys again!"

Smiles broke out simultaneously on the faces of Li Chen and Ning Wangyang.

Just at that moment, a terrifying sound suddenly came from the lake next to the group.

"Boom!!!"

It was as if explosives had gone off under the water, which soared sky-high in an instant.

The sudden change left everyone stunned.

"Get out of here quickly!!" Li Chen react quickly, taking the first opportunity to dash with the others toward the forest behind them, meeting up with the people of the Nether Army.

At the same time, the noise from the lake had yet to cease. The calm waters transformed instantly into raging waves, churning madly.

The next moment, everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

A massive claw, as if it could shroud the heavens, stretched out from the center of the lake.

"Boom!!"

The gigantic claw slapped fiercely against the shore.

Seeing the claw, everyone, including Li Chen, couldn’t help but take a step back.

At the same time, a chilly voice echoed from the lake: "You have foiled the plans of me, Behemoth. Humans, you will eventually die... I remember you!!"

At this moment, on the horizon, a faint trace of dawn appeared. The group had entered the forest in the dead of night, and now, dawn was breaking.

Sunlight shone on the enormous claw, seemingly triggering some chemical reaction, and white smoke began to rise from the claw.

Faintly, Li Chen heard a cry of pain.

"Damn it!! Damn it!!"

With a terrifying roar, the claw slowly retracted back into the lake.
