Chapter 382: Chapter 266: The True Strength of a Dominator Level Creature (Part 2)

Seeing the successful activation of the wristwatch, Zhang Xiaoman’s heart, which had been somewhat suspended, settled down once again.

"Star Rank, what’s the situation now? Can the Dawn operate normally?"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the Anti-gravity Car, only to discover that, unlike the wristwatch, it hadn’t immediately recovered from its paralysis.

"Star Lord, a powerful Biological Pulse attack has been detected, causing internal paralysis. The system is now adjusted and has restarted."

The response from Star Rank was always so efficient and quick.

"According to the analysis, the Biological Pulse we encountered is—error, unknown content, data lost; the specific information data is—error, unknown content, data lost; the estimated recovery time for the Dawn is: unknown; should a response be necessary, the suggested course of action is: unknown..."

Listening up to here, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly had a black line on his forehead. After all that, wasn’t it the same as having said nothing?

He was now somewhat regretting that he had praised the device too early.

With a slight sigh, Zhang Xiaoman withdrew his gaze and looked again towards the distant Monster.

He knew that he couldn’t blame Star Rank for this, after all, the System itself was just a product of the gang, lacking a true technical database.

In plain terms, it was nothing more than a scene casually created by the Sect Establishment Order to enrich the story’s background.

While it did serve a purpose, expecting it to have a source or a legacy was indeed thinking too much.

Accustomed to its unreliability, Zhang Xiaoman did not dwell on it any further.

His attention was once again completely focused on the Monster over there.

Because at this moment, it had once again started to move.

The creature, after adjusting itself, did not head directly towards him as expected.

Instead, it contracted its body and adopted a gathering posture, which was quite perplexing to behold.

"What is it trying to do? It’s not building up to another major move, is it?"

Not far away, Commander Wang watched the monster with a puzzled face, subconsciously voicing the doubts in his mind.

"Unclear, this creature is very strange, possessing too many aspects we cannot understand. We must remain vigilant and be ready to face an attack at any moment..."

Hu Hu stood at the side, looking up at the distant scene, his heart heavy.

He had already had people check; except for some purely mechanical weapons, almost all other devices were paralyzed, and the cars were also unable to start.

Now, the only thing they had available to use against that Monster was probably the guns in their hands.

Hu Hu was pondering when suddenly he heard a strange sound in his ears, but it was indistinct, leaving him temporarily unclear as to what was happening.

"Thump~"

Another sound echoed, this time clearer than the last.

"Did you all hear anything?"

Hu Hu asked his comrades nearby.

Clearly, they had also heard the same sound and nodded in confirmation.

"Thump."

Another sound came through, and this time Hu Hu heard it even more clearly and also realized that the sound didn’t seem to come through his ears, but directly from inside his heart.

"Is this... a heartbeat...?"

He asked with some uncertainty. However, everyone else also wore puzzled expressions and could not provide him with an answer.

"Thump!"

Another sound arose, this time much stronger than before, making Hu Hu feel his own heart pound fiercely in response.

"It’s a heartbeat, definitely a heartbeat! And it’s coming directly from inside my head! Not good! There must be something wrong here!"

At this moment, he seemed to have realized something was amiss. Just as he opened his mouth to warn everyone, that sound echoed in his mind again.

"Thump!!"

This one seemed even heavier than before.

With the arrival of this heartbeat, everyone present felt an indescribable discomfort, their blood roiling, leaving them dizzy and disoriented.

"Thump!!!!"

The sound of the heartbeat struck for the sixth time, each one stronger than the last.

By now, many warriors had started clutching their chests in pain.

"Not good! It’s an attack, open fire, open fire quickly! Don’t let it continue any longer!"

Hu Hu knew very well what the situation was.

Although he didn’t know how the enemy was doing it, facing such an unprecedented attack, they had no idea how to respond. The best method seemed to be to attack in defense.

However, most of the people there had already lost their ability to fight. For the few that could still lift their guns and shoot, the bullets seemed ineffective against the monster.

"Thump!!!!!"

The seventh heartbeat echoed in everyone’s minds, accompanied by a strong convulsion from their own hearts.

Many spat out blood at this moment, nearing their limits. Faced with such an unforeseen attack, humans appeared utterly bewildered and helpless.

"Everybody, cover your ears!"

Hu Hu said, barely enduring his physical discomfort.

The next second, the eighth heartbeat sounded, and nearly everyone present passed out, those who covered their ears achieving nothing by it.

"Puh!"

Hu Hu spat out a mouthful of blood and slumped powerlessly to the ground, staring at the monster huddled in the distance, a surge of despair rising within him.

What kind of opponent was this, what was humanity about to face, how many more such bizarre and elusive attacks existed? What on earth had happened to this world...

Hu Hu knew that if another one of those terrifying heartbeats occurred, they might truly be done for here.

Yet, just at this moment, the ground suddenly began to tremble, but Hu Hu, already somewhat unconscious, didn’t notice.

He was now just struggling to support himself, trying not to fall into unconsciousness.

Elsewhere, at the center of the battlefield, Zhang Xiaoman, who was closer to the monster, naturally also felt its effects.

However, unlike the peripheral Azure Dragon Soldiers, the monster’s eight attacks had not inflicted much damage on him.

A moment ago, like Hu Hu and a few others, Xiaoman faintly heard a heartbeat.

Afterward, the heartbeat sound grew stronger, and he felt his Qi-Blood being influenced and controlled by a certain rhythm, causing it to surge within him.

Moreover, this attack was neither a mental type of harm nor did it trigger his magic shield.

He felt that if he hadn’t enhanced his constitution by more than twenty points, he might already find it difficult to cope.

Realizing something was wrong, Xiaoman reacted immediately.

He accessed his wristwatch and issued a command to the Star Rank, something he had reserved as his last card for this battle.

He had actually not wanted to use it, but it seemed that the time had come when he must.
