Chapter 784: Chapter 756: Giant Beast Behemoth!

Li Chen’s mind was filled with doubts, including this journey, which all seemed quite bizarre to him.

Although rescuing Catherine this time could be considered a narrow escape without any mishap, the things he encountered along the way were indeed beyond his expectations.

Even now, Li Chen felt as if, beyond the world he knew, there was another world he was unaware of.

And this world, while closely connected to his own, seemed to be an incredible distance away.

Places like Holy Mountain and Relic, as well as the self-proclaimed ’Behemoth’ monster he encountered, he didn’t know how these things existed or when they came into being.

"But there’s no doubt that my current strength is indeed somewhat inadequate," Li Chen said somewhat helplessly as he shook his head.

At this moment, he seemed to understand what An Qin meant when she said his strength wasn’t enough, without any intention to belittle him.

His strength truly wasn’t enough.

Even the current him, in the eyes of some powerful figures, was nothing more than an ant-like existence.

Li Chen shook his head vigorously, casting aside these disorderly thoughts, and began to search carefully on the library bookshelves.

"Not this one, nor this one..." Li Chen’s brows were tightly furrowed.

What he was looking for was not just any book but those on the subject of medicine.

This time, he had been poisoned by the Mothman, and the toxins still hadn’t been completely eliminated. Far from being eradicated, Li Chen even felt that the poison was still continuously corroding his Meridians.

If left unchecked, one day Li Chen would be completely eroded and his True Qi would be rendered useless.

By then, although he could still maintain a certain degree of Martial Force, from his perspective, he would essentially be no different from a cripple.

And his enemies were not to be underestimated.

"You... what are you doing..."

Just then, Li Chen suddenly heard a deliberately lowered voice from a bookshelf not far behind him, and it seemed to come from a girl.

"Get lost..."

This hushed voice, tinged with fear and disgust, reached Li Chen who had been looking for a long time, feeling annoyed, and instantly knew what was happening.

He walked straight toward the row of bookshelves behind him, and sure enough, there was a girl struggling with a book, with a sleazy man continuously harassing her at her side.

The girl seemed terrified and didn’t dare to shout out loud, only struggling in vain.

When Li Chen suddenly appeared at that row, both of their actions froze.

Seeing Li Chen, the girl couldn’t help but cast a pleading look at him.

The man, first surprised, then glared at Li Chen with a malicious look, and said in a low voice, "Get lost quickly, don’t get in the way of my business!"

Hearing the man’s words, the girl’s eyes became even more pleading.

Since appearing here, Li Chen’s expression had been blank, which meant he was in a very bad mood, and at this critical moment, this man stumbled upon him.

Without another word, Li Chen strode toward the two.

When he reached the man’s side, before the man could react, Li Chen reached out his hand and grabbed the man by the neck, lifting him up.

"I have to say, as a pervert, you’re really quite blind," Li Chen said indifferently while holding the man’s neck, "I’ll give you one chance, leave on your own or I’ll help you out."

The sleazy man, his neck grips by Li Chen, had a face turning red from suffocation, his eyes filled with disbelief.

How could this be possible? He weighed over a hundred pounds even if scrawny, yet this man, who didn’t look particularly strong, was able to lift him single-handedly. Was he a monster?

He tried to speak but discovered that his neck was being choked, and he couldn’t squeeze out a single word. Gradually, the sleazy man started to roll his eyes back.

"Thud!"

Li Chen tossed the man onto the ground, and the man began gasping for air violently.

At this moment, Li Chen’s deep voice rang out again, "Scram!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the man didn’t dare say anything else and ran off. Having witnessed the man’s terror, he no longer dared to utter any threats.

He didn’t even dare to glance back at Li Chen.

At this time, the girl who saw Li Chen had eyes filled with admiration.

A library encounter, and a heroic rescue no less, what a romantic meeting!

However, just as she was indulging in her fantasy, Li Chen turned his attention back to the bookshelves and continued his search.

"Be more careful when you’re alone in the future. If you encounter something like this, just scream loudly," Li Chen said indifferently.

It’s not good for a girl to be too timid.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, the girl was stunned and didn’t know what to say for a while. She could only nod and reply, "Thank you."

After searching for quite a while longer, Li Chen sighed in frustration, still coming up empty.

Although he found some relevant records, when it came to how to heal, he had no clue at all.

"Hm?"

At this moment, Li Chen suddenly noticed the book that the girl he had just saved was holding. He couldn’t help but walk towards her.

"What... what does he want to do?" Watching Li Chen heading straight toward her made the girl’s heart race again.

"That... you..." Li Chen pointed at the girl’s chest.

Instantly, the girl’s face turned red again. Although he had saved her, wasn’t this development a bit too fast?

"Can you lend me the book in your hands for a moment?" Li Chen asked.

"Ah... of course!" The girl, who was originally lost in wild thoughts, suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her and cursed herself for thinking too much.

Li Chen took the book from the girl’s hands and after examining it for a while, his expression turned grave.

This book wasn’t one on medicine but rather about ancient Western myths.

And the page that Li Chen turned to had an image of a monstrously huge monster.

"The Giant Beast Behemoth, a monster from ancient myths, possessing a robust body and known as the King of the Land. Also, in many myths, it’s referred to as the Behemoth."

Seeing this entry, Li Chen’s pupils suddenly constricted.

The Behemoth?!

Could it be that the claw he saw in the forest that day, along with that sound, were from the legendary Behemoth?!

But, wasn’t it supposed to be just a mythical creature?

After returning the book to the girl, Li Chen greeted her and left the library straight away.

The Behemoth, huh?

This world was becoming more and more interesting!
