Infected at the start and exiled to the City of Strange Species.
Octopus extended its tentacles: What is this? Let's suck it!
Goat extended its hooves: What is this? Let's suck ...
Even faster than the sound was the sudden attack of the monster. Gu Li felt a weight on her back, and the next moment she was pounced on the ground. Something gnawed at her shoulder, and the pain of having her scales scraped off and her flesh torn made her mind go blank for a moment.
She instinctively lifted the attacker off her back, her drooping claws gradually tightening as she gripped a longsword formed of congealed blood. The pain from her shoulder sent shivers down her spine. The monster that had somehow infiltrated the city had no hands or feet; its body resembled a giant worm.
The only feature is a huge human face on its head, along with a round mouth that takes up almost half of the face.
At this moment, the giant mouth was wide open, chewing on a piece of flesh and blood. Fresh blood dripped continuously from between its sharp teeth. It seemed to sense Gu Li's gaze, made a gurgling sound in its throat, and pounced on her again.
Gu Li swore she would be traumatized by felines from now on. How could such an ugly creature make such a coquettish sound? What's even more disgusting is that it was happy to eat her.
It flapped its wings to create distance from the worm, and held the longsword in its hand, which looked like flowing blood, with slender claws. It slashed down from above at the worm's open mouthparts.
The liquid spurting from the worm's wound stained the scales, causing a slight burning sensation. The huge worm vanished instantly before Gu Li's eyes, leaving behind a silver-white alien creature holding a red shard in its hand, hovering in place.
Her vertical pupils quickly scanned her surroundings. She was already familiar with the environment. She could smell the disgusting stench on the worm. The thing had tasted the sweetness and obviously did not intend to give up easily.
Gu Li waited quietly for a while. The feeling of being treated as prey made the scales on her back almost burst. She calmly squatted back on the roof and pondered the ability of that thing. The moonlight was particularly dim tonight, and the already dark city was full of shadows.
If her eyes weren't now practically beyond human capabilities, she probably wouldn't have been able to see that thing clearly in the darkness of the night.
Wait... a shadow?
She thought of the dark, shadowy underground streets hidden in the harbor, and a thought struck her.
A moment later, the silvery-white figure landed lightly on the ground. The hind paws, which had broken through the leather shoes, made a soft "click" sound as they hit the ground. She looked like a recently corrupted mutant, and the blood flowing from her shoulder made her silver scales shine like gemstones.
The worm, hidden in the darkness, wriggled restlessly. Its mouthparts, filled with sharp teeth, dripped thick, pale green saliva, soaking the ground. Its narrow, jet-black eyes stared intently ahead.
Their minds, already overflowing with killing and pollution, had reached their limit.
Gu Li remained expressionless, pretending to cautiously explore the street. Her heart pounded wildly, and the blood pumping through her body surged with power. She felt the night wind blowing against her body pause for a moment.
He immediately thrust the blood-red longsword backward, and as he heard the worm's sharp hiss, he poured all his strength into his hands, spun around, gripped the sword with both hands, and firmly stepped on the edge of the worm's mouthparts with one claw, stirring the longsword deep inside.
The pale green slime sprayed onto her body like a fountain, accompanied by the frantic struggle of the worms. Worried that the creature's vitality was too strong, Gu Li pressed down on the hilt of her sword, where veins and bone-like shapes popped out from her claws.
Only when the sword tip completely pierced its body did she take a breath and slowly relax her strength. The long sword, formed from blood, suddenly dissipated, winding up her palm and disappearing into the scales.
Gu Li forced herself not to think about how many disgusting things this thing had come into contact with before returning to her body. She flapped her wings, preparing to go to the beach to take a look. Most of the sounds there had already subsided, so the battle must have ended.
She can also go and help out.
He was now quite adept at using this body, and his flying speed had increased considerably. As soon as he approached her, he heard Eric's voice, which carried a magical power that could not be diminished even through the plastic speaker.
It's just that you can't listen too closely.
Gu Li resisted the urge to cover her ears. She looked at Eric, who was standing on the roof of the warehouse with a subtle expression. Eric was slowly wiping the thin sword in his hoof. As if he noticed her gaze, he turned his head slightly to look at her.
Gu Li, who was instinctively crouching on the roof, tilted her head and waved at him: "Awoo!"
Could you please turn off your speaker?
Eric paused as he slowly drew his rapier. He looked at the small silver beast crouching on the roof. Its body was covered in white scales, its limbs were strong, its eyelids had eyebrow-like protrusions, and its long, sharp claws were tightly gripping the relief decorations on the roof.
Its long tail hangs low, and a pair of silver-white wings sprout from its back.
If it weren't for her expression just now, Eric would have almost stabbed her with his sword. Even after the fierce battle, the goat-hoofed man, whose formal attire was still spotless, approached, looked at the small beast on the roof, and stretched out his hoof: "Miss Gu Li?"
Gu Li, who was squatting on top, took a step back with some resistance, her round pupils, now restored to sky blue, staring intently at his side, and then let out another cry: "Awoo!"
I told you to turn off that loudspeaker!
"Hahahaha, finally someone couldn't stand you anymore and dared to say it out loud. Miss is telling you to turn off that piece of junk and stop hurting our ears."
Gu Li: No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!
Levi, soaking wet, climbed out of the sea and shook himself wildly, splashing water everywhere, most of it landing on Eric. Gu Li watched as the veins on the Goat Hoof Man's forehead bulged.
She immediately flapped her wings and landed on Eric's arm, demonstrating with her actions that she had no such intention.
Eric's mutated body was tall, but not tall enough to carry a chestnut on his arm. Eric's arm, suspended in mid-air, remained motionless, and the image of him carrying a chestnut was indeed not very attractive.
Levi, standing behind, approached with a maniacal laugh: "What kind of pose is this?"
A rapier suddenly appeared in front of Levi's octopus face. He let out a comical question before being kicked back into the sea by Eric. Gu Li silently retracted his claws.
The music that had been piercing his ears like a demonic chant finally dissipated, and Gu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, someone grabbed the base of her wings with a familiar touch and lifted her in front of the Goat's Hoof. Eric looked into her round, harmless eyes and sighed, "It was my oversight. I didn't expect you to be completely transformed so quickly."
"Now is not the time to relax. I'll have someone take you back."
Eric waved, and someone immediately jumped over—it was Shi Qing, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Awoo!!"
I'm here to help!
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a fierce wind suddenly arose on the sea, and a monstrous creature, almost blotting out the sky, appeared silently above the city of monstrous beings with terrifying power.
Gu Li was instantly overwhelmed by the heavy pressure, causing the silver scales on his back to pop up, and he subconsciously bared his teeth towards the sky.
