Just as its withered fingers were only an inch away from Lu Sheng, Lu Sheng swiftly drew his sword and swung it.
High-voltage charges enveloped the blade, which precisely pierced the charred, hard cervical vertebrae, the collision of metal and bone producing a teeth-grinding friction sound.
puff!
A flash of cold light, and the charred, rotting head flew out like a ball.
The headless corpse remained in a forward-leaning position, but immediately lost its balance and collapsed heavily to the ground. From the clean cross-section of its neck, a thick, sticky black fluid dripped from the wound and quickly meandered down to the ground at everyone's feet.
Xiao Ning walked over and smashed the charred head that had rolled in the corner like a watermelon. Without changing his expression, he took out a crystal core from a patch of sticky, muddy brain tissue.
The crystal nucleus looked as if it had lost water; its overall color was dull and dark, and its surface was covered with irregular cracks.
It looks like it could be crushed with just a little force.
"A defective product from a failed experiment by CM Company." Xiao Ning tossed the crystal core to Lu Sheng.
"The crystal nucleus has already begun to repel the catalyst, and it will explode soon."
Han Rui stared at Xiao Ning warily. "How did you know?"
"Guess." Xiao Ning didn't answer directly, but instead gave a meaningful smile.
Lu Sheng rolled her eyes at him speechlessly.
She could guess with her toes how Xiao Ning knew.
He must have gotten the information by deceiving women with that face again.
"The location indicated by the marker is right here. Hurry up and find it; the marker only lasts for two hours." Xiao Ning's smile faded as he pointed to a small, inconspicuous door deep inside the box.
His prey markers last for a maximum of two hours; they will become invalid if the time is exceeded or the hunting area is outside the range.
The group passed through a small door, behind which was a long, narrow corridor. Walking to the end of the corridor, they discovered that the door led to a famous Catholic church in T City.
Because of the power outage, the entire church lighting system was rendered useless. The group walked through the narrow corridor to the main hall of the church, where they could only get a little light through the stained glass windows on the walls.
As soon as she stepped into the main hall, Sun Tiantian suddenly stopped. "Someone is watching us."
She pursed her lips, squinted her eyes to survey her surroundings, and finally fixed her gaze on the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
"Xiaoyu, hold up the lamp so we can see."
Just as Xiao Yu raised her hand, Lu Sheng threw a fireball toward the chandelier.
The light released by the fireball immediately dispelled the darkness, streaking across the dome like a shooting star.
"Sizzle".
The dark figure crawling on the huge chandelier seemed startled, letting out a sharp crack before quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Zhang Xiaojuan stared intently at the fleeting flash of light in the distance, then turned her head with a strange expression. "What was that clinging to the chandelier just now... looked like a human head??"
"Have some respect for science. A person weighs at least several tens of kilograms. How could they possibly be lying on a chandelier?" Han Rui said, speechless.
“Juan’er is right, I think I also saw a head flash on it…” Even Xiao Yu testified for Zhang Xiaojuan.
Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.
It's not unusual to see zombies or mutated beasts lying on a chandelier, but a single human head lying on a chandelier is a bit creepy.
The biting cold was like a bucket of ice water poured over their heads, making everyone present feel a chill run down their spines.
"Niannian, what do you think?"
At the crucial moment, Zhang Xiaojuan pulled Shi Nian to her side and bribed the humanoid cheat with a handful of roasted melon seeds.
Shi Nian nodded, "I want to have chicken hot pot for dinner."
Zhang Xiaojuan originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but looking at Shi Nian's clear and wise eyes, which resembled those of a college student, she simply gave up the idea.
Forget it, the child is already like this, let him eat whatever he wants.
"They're here!"
Suddenly, Xiao Ning raised his voice.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the wall to their right, and the sound grew closer and closer.
Clearly, something lurking in the darkness could no longer contain itself.
The next instant, everyone felt a stench of cold air hit them, and a dark figure darted out from the right.
Lu Sheng waved his hand and fired an electromagnetic cannon. The flash of high-voltage electromagnetic light instantly illuminated the entire main hall of the church as if it were daytime.
The brief flash of light finally allowed everyone to see the full form of the shadowy figure.
A seven-step snake, its body entirely black, raised its head high and opened its blood-red maw menacingly at the crowd.
What's most disturbing is that on either side of this giant snake's head are two highly decomposed human heads!
What Zhang Xiaojuan and the others just saw must have been the human head on the body of this seven-step snake!
