Chapter 335: Breaking the Shell
The sky was covered with dark clouds and a thunderstorm came suddenly, but after just over ten minutes, the rain that had accumulated so quickly seemed to have been poured out, and the streets and the area around the residential buildings became bright again, leaving only the wet ground and slightly humid air.
The little boy hid under the stairs and peeked towards the rooftop. There was thunder when it rained just now, and he could vaguely hear the sound of fierce fighting on another rooftop. However, due to the heavy rain and the distance between the two sides, he could not see anything clearly.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly fell.
The little boy was nervous at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir." But after he saw it clearly, he involuntarily took two steps back.
There was a big hole in Wei Wusheng's chest, and his flesh and bones seemed to have been torn off by something, and one could almost see the beating heart inside. He held a hammer in his hand, and around his waist hung two hideous heads with open eyes, tied together with their hair to form a string.
The little boy couldn't help swallowing.
At this time, Wei Wusheng suddenly threw something over. He hurriedly caught it and found that it was a boundary pass. However, judging from its shape, it was much more advanced than the second-hand boundary pass he was using.
"Put it on and come over here to take a picture."
Wei Wusheng threw down a sentence and walked out.
The little boy uttered an "oh" and put on his shield as he walked. Only then did he realize that Wei Wusheng had more than a dozen wounds on his back from being chopped by sharp weapons. His skin and flesh were torn and tangled, looking very scary. However, he seemed to be unaffected by the injuries. He walked steadily as usual and walked a distance in a short while.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Wei Wusheng's body seemed to have grown taller than before. After adjusting the boundary, he ran after him.
In the dormitory of Xuangong Building, Chen Chuan was about to take a break after finishing today's training when a message suddenly came from Tan Zhi. He didn't think much about it. Recently, Tan Zhi went to watch a boxing match and often sent some on-site scenes and things related to the match, so he clicked on it.
But this time it was different. What was sent was just a very clear photo.
A tall and strong man stood there with his back to the camera, occupying most of the picture. In his hand he held a very conspicuous hammer that seemed to have blood stains on it, and at his feet lay the two headless corpses.
At the top of the photo, there are two heads hanging together, their eyes are lifeless, and blood vessels, tendons and strands of alienated tissue are hanging from the broken wounds.
The picture is very impactful.
Chen Chuan stared at the back. Is this... Wei Wusheng?
He looked at the two heads. Although the faces were a little distorted, he could vaguely make out the similarities in the two people's appearance. He had also seen photos of these two people on the bounty platform recently. These should be the heads of the Pei brothers.
He had read the introduction. These two were cousins. They had rich experience and had an extremely tacit cooperation between the two brothers, which was not comparable to that of ordinary single fighters. They received high praise in the discussion posts, and many people believed that they were the two most likely to defeat Wei Wusheng.
But now it seems that the result is the opposite.
He looked at the photo carefully, and he could see a lot of information from it. Judging from the injuries on the two brothers' necks, they must have been broken while they were still alive and then torn off.
Comparing with the surrounding reference objects, he felt that Wei Wusheng's figure seemed taller and longer than before, but because this was a photo, he couldn't be sure.
Could this be the reward for the “thoughts” that Wei Wusheng mentioned?
While he was thinking, he heard a slight sound coming from the room. He turned around and saw that the egg in the incubator was shaking.
A part of the eggshell cracked and a gap appeared. One of the pieces was slowly pushed out, and something seemed to be exposed inside. Then there were knocking and struggling sounds, and the degree of cracking gradually increased.
After seeing this, Chen Chuan stood up from the sofa and walked to the incubator. As the egg was mostly broken open, a small thing poked its head out and crawled out. It shook off the broken pieces on its body, looked at him with its big eyes, and made a childish chirp at him.
He looked at the little thing and originally thought it would be a snake, but now it looked more like a combination of a lizard and a bird. It had feathers on its body and claws on its forelimbs, but it had two membranous wings and the distribution of bird feathers. It seemed to have different colors, but it was wet at the moment.
The little thing called out to him again, and he stretched out his finger and teased it. The little thing then climbed up his finger and came to the back of his hand.
Chen Chuan could feel the heartbeat and temperature coming from the little creature's body. After thinking about it, he reached out and took out the nutrient solution that the Secret Snake Cult had sent along with the incubator. It was said that any creature from the Secret Snake Cult could take this thing. He took a disposable paper plate and poured a little into it.
When the little thing saw this, it immediately climbed down from his hand and licked him happily. After eating, it seemed to feel tired, so it went back to the incubator and lay there with its eyes closed and motionless.
Chen Chuan recorded it with his credentials and sent it to Zou Handan, asking what species this little thing was.
After a while, Zou Handan's reply arrived. He said, "Mr. Chen, we named this thing 'Bird Lizard'. We originally wanted to cultivate it into a combat species, but we were unsuccessful.
Because some of them underwent unknown mutations and others degenerated in large numbers, the project has been terminated and most of the eggs have been disposed of.
This one might have been mixed in with the giveaway for that very reason. This creature currently only has ornamental value and poses no threat. If you don't like it, you can return it to us and we'll recycle it and give you another giveaway."
Chen Chuan knew what recycling meant, so he said, "There's no need to recycle. How should we take care of this thing?"
Zou Handan said apologetically, "Since this was a work error on our part, we will send Mr. Chen some tools and detailed instructions later."
Chen Chuan said: "Okay, thank you for the trouble."
After ending the call, he took another look at the little thing and saw that it was sleeping soundly. It seemed that the temperature of the incubator made it very comfortable, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
He checked the platform again and found that in just a short while, Wei Wusheng's photo had spread all over the place. The comment section below seemed to have exploded, with people participating in the discussion constantly joining in, and it reached the top in just a short moment.
After all, the Pei brothers were very famous, but it was unexpected that they died at the hands of Wei Wusheng, and died so miserably. Some people analyzed the deaths of the two men and some injuries exposed on Wei Wusheng's body, trying to restore the cause of death of the two men and the process of the battle.
Chen Chuan selected some and read them, and found that some of them were quite meaningful, and there were many details that he had not noticed, but most of them only discussed the subsequent impact and the chances of the other bounty hunters against Wei Wusheng.
Originally, they were all optimistic about these bounty hunters, but now they are a little uncertain. Some people even think that these bounty hunters are just in name only. The enemies they have dealt with in the past were not strong, so they were exposed when they met the real tough guys this time.
But this statement attracted some opposition, and together with some bounty hunter fans, they immediately started arguing over this topic.
However, the heated discussion on the platform seemed to have attracted the attention of the parties involved. The bounty hunter named "Han Laomao" stood up in a very high-profile manner and said that he would kill Wei Wusheng with his own hands and post the photos when the time comes.
His appearance immediately triggered a heated discussion below. Some people wanted to invite other bounty merchants to speak out, but these bounty hunters did not seem to be as outspoken as Han Laomao. No matter how the platform invited them to speak out, no one showed up.
After watching, Chen Chuan stepped down from the platform. It seemed that Wei Wusheng's strength was getting stronger and stronger, but he did not let it affect his mood and still maintained his training rhythm.
In a flash, more than ten days passed. During this period, he went to the Rift Valley again and underwent a snake-skinning service. This should be the last time before achieving the third limit, so this time he used the excuse of going home for the holiday and did not continue to order the service.
This reason is very appropriate and no one will think too much about it. In fact, only a few people buy services continuously. After all, physical recovery is faster, but some psychological effects are difficult to overcome.
It was late July.
After practicing with Hong Fu that day, Chen Chuan walked out of the private training room. Because he had exerted so much energy, he felt a little thirsty and planned to pour a glass of water, so he quickened his pace a little.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, his pace quickened, and his figure seemed to sway slightly as he walked from the training room to the other end of the living room. His hand holding the cup paused slightly.
All of this happened naturally, and there was nothing abnormal about it, but he suddenly discovered that he had inadvertently displayed abilities that were almost only possessed by a third-level fighter.
But the problem was that because of the sparring with Hongfu just now, his body was in a low state, and it was still maintained like this even when he came out at this moment. However, in this situation, he still displayed such an extremely fast speed.
He picked up the cup and slowly took a sip of water, which undoubtedly showed that he was gradually approaching that limit and was even about to cross that threshold.
But he didn't seem to feel it much. This might be because no matter how he improved, Hongfu's strength would increase accordingly. Although he could keep Hongfu in a fixed state during sparring, he lifted this restriction in order to suppress himself, which made him insensitive to his own progress.
After putting down the cup, he relaxed his breathing, closed his eyes and examined himself. With the help of breathing techniques, he could clearly know the condition of every part of his body.
He could clearly feel that his previous judgment was correct. It seemed that if he only took one more step forward, he would be able to overcome it completely.
However, at this moment he had a feeling in his heart that something seemed to be wrong.
He didn't rush into making a decision. Instead, he thought for a moment and called Jie Ping. After a while, the call was connected. He said, "Uncle Ding, is Senior Cao here? I have some questions for him."
