Chapter 360: Chapter 359: The Original Body

Several mud houses had been searched in a row without finding anything unusual.

Over there, Old Dao, a thin man wielding a Tang Blade, led a team into the village hall. Strangely, the pond here was located inside the house, just a pool of stagnant water, with some scattered zombie limbs floating around and in it.

His long experience of escaping and killing in the apocalypse told Old Dao that this was the place.

The monster was definitely here! He crouched and stepped back slowly, "Don’t make a sound, let’s withdraw first."

The remaining four people immediately complied with tense expressions.

One of them, overly nervous, sweated at the brow and stepped on a broken leg covered in some unknown sticky substance, immediately slipping and falling backwards, "Ah! Mmph!"

The moment he fell, he quickly covered his mouth. Old Dao immediately went over to pull him up, but the man on the ground seemed stunned, his eyes wide open, filled with horror.

Then Old Dao felt some moisture on his right shoulder, as some sticky substance dripped from above his head down to his shoulder.

He didn’t even have time to think as he instinctively ran to the side, using all his superpower.

A huge figure dived down from the wooden beam. Old Dao narrowly escaped disaster, but the man who had fallen wasn’t so lucky. A large mouth, ringed like a chrysanthemum with sharp teeth, covered in thick, smelly mucus, swallowed half of the man in one gulp.

The lower half of the body was bitten off, spraying a great amount of blood, splattering onto the faces of the others.

Old Dao pulled out a gun and began shooting wildly at the primitive creature covered in palms, "Get out! Quick! The devil has come!"

The series of gunshots by the hall prompted Su Mo and others inside the house to rush out.

As they were running out to the dirt road outside, they saw four people stumbling out of the hall encased by mud walls. Within seconds, a giant primitive creature burst through the wall and followed them. It leaped from the spot, its meaty wings flapping a few times in the air before it landed and grabbed a trailing heretic.

Old Dao turned around and threw a knife, attempting to stop it. The knife, aimed accurately at the creature’s human-like skull, was deftly diverted by a swift movement of its palm.

The heretic was bitten in half by a direct bite, and his shattered legs were flung directly in front of Su Mo and the others, with the split thighs still streaming blood.

Ice frost arrived around Lu Chen instantaneously, and numerous crystals surrounded him. He said heavily, "Prepare for battle."

Su Mo’s Tang Blade appeared in her hand, her face also filled with a murderous intent. Today, she must kill that thing and bring it back for Ling Ye.

Li Qian dared not use his superpower carelessly against the primitive creature, whose level was far above his. To avoid his superpower being severely damaged, he placed a thread of spiritual power around each person and also on a few of the heretics nearby.

In case of an emergency, he would pull a few human shields to keep his people unharmed.

Old Dao, with all his superpowers activated, sprinted to Jianxiong’s side while shouting back loudly, "Quick! Get the rocket launcher! The rocket launcher! Stop the creature’s advance first!"

Two strong men immediately carried the rocket launcher, aiming at the primitive creature. Two rockets were fired, one missed as the creature dodged, destroying the hall behind it, and one hit its calf, causing it to stumble and fall on the dirt road, raising a cloud of dust.

This was an opportunity. Lu Chen immediately activated the Cold Ice Barbs. A group of ice barbs, over a meter long, formed around the creature, rising from the ground. Surprisingly, instead of piercing the creature’s shell, they lifted it high off the ground.

"Has its skin gotten harder?!" Su Mo exclaimed in surprise.

"When Ling Ye used her hands to gouge into that monster’s skull, it wasn’t this hard," Zhao Changsheng said as he spread his arms and summoned Thunder. A thick bolt of lightning struck the Origin, but, similarly, it caused no damage.

It wasn’t just them—several Heretics’ superpowers smashed into the Origin’s body like they were merely tickling it.

Li Qian stood at a distance and observed for a while. Hearing what Zhao Changsheng said, he immediately spoke, "Attack the head, that’s the only way.".

Jianxiong’s body suddenly rose to nearly four meters. Having not seen him for a long time, he had already become a Level 4 Superpower User. His silver skin shimmered with a silver light under the sunlight, and he clenched his fists, with Bone Spurs piercing through his joints. He glanced at Lu Chen, was about to call out ’Boss,’ but stopped himself just in time,

"I’ll go head-on with it, you guys support from the back.".

Jianxiong, with similarly hard skin, spoke and then took a large stride, charging towards the Origin. His massive body was taller than a house.

Su Mo and Lu Chen exchanged a look, "I’ll go assist him, Lu Chen, watch over and protect me.".

Lu Chen nodded, watching her transform into a blur, with countless small Crystals flying towards the massive Origin.

Su Mo, holding a Tang Blade, dashed to the Origin’s side first. By then, it had already burst out from the group of Cold Ice Barbs, the top of its head emitting a strange screech.

Its hand-covered arms swung at her. Su Mo dodged to the side and simultaneously sliced off part of the tissue from several of its hands.

She moved to the back of the Origin, her Tang Blade forcefully chopping toward its heel.

Su Mo’s Tang Blade was no ordinary weapon. It sank into its flesh, eliciting even louder screeches from the monster. Indescribable rage made it swing its leg back, trying to crush Su Mo into pulp.

Seeing this, Jianxiong instantly grabbed one of the Origin’s arms with a single hand and performed a back throw, slamming it to the ground.

Several Heretics released vines wrapping the Origin tightly, while countless ice spikes from Lu Chen shot towards its head.

"Roar!"

The Origin roared, and the vines wrapped around its body shattered in an instant. Its belly’s Chrysanthemum-shaped mouth bit towards Jianxiong’s waist, while its back flesh wings blocked the tiny Crystals.

The Crystals embedded into the flesh of its palms. Seeing this, Jianxiong hooked his leg under the Origin’s, trying to trip it to the ground.

Countless hands immediately grabbed onto his leg as both massive figures fell to the ground together.

Zhao Changsheng took the opportunity to throw a long whip around the Origin’s neck and pulled back, attempting to forcibly decapitate it. However, the strength of the two was not on the same level, and Zhao Changsheng’s face visibly paled from the continuous high-intensity superpower output.

"Hold on!" Su Mo shouted. She gripped her blade, superpower fully unleashed, and sprinted to the Origin’s side raising her blade to strike.

The massive palm madly attacked her.

In Lu Chen’s hand, a giant Ice Shield formed solidly blocking the strike, while once again, a group of Cold Ice Barbs under his precise control restrained the Origin’s movements.
