Flashing lightning exploded in all directions with the black beast as the center, forcing Fang Zheng and Irene to retreat, while the black beast stared at Fang Zheng with red eyes.
"How did you find out?"
"Nonsense, can you swallow what's in your mouth before you speak next time?!"
Fang Zheng said, "Do I even need to ask this?" When the man was talking, Fang Zheng and Irene saw the pieces of meat at the corners of his mouth. Combined with the corpses around the man, if they really believed what this idiot said, wouldn't they be mentally retarded?
With this character you want to be an actor? Are you insulting our intelligence?
"Black beast!?"
But looking at the black beast in front of her with lightning all around, Irene was shocked.
"How is this possible? Why is there a black beast here?"
"No matter how it appears, kill it first!"
Fang Zheng doesn't care about the origin of this black beast. Whether you want to dissect it or interrogate it, it won't be too late to defeat it. Instead of yelling at you, you might as well take the time to help me backstab it and stun it!
"roar!!"
Facing Fang Zheng, the black beast roared and pounced forward, raising its right claw, a series of lightning appeared on its claw, and then struck down with force. Fang Zheng took the opportunity to roll over and dodge, only to see the black beast strike down with its claw, and the flashing lightning spread out like a whip, hitting the ground and scattering everywhere.
The properties are strange, this is quite troublesome.
Looking at the lightning wrapped around the black beast, Fang Zheng frowned. This monster was completely different from the ones Fang Zheng had encountered before. The most important thing was that it could use the power of lightning to attack. Although the black beast was only at the initial stage of using lightning, it was still quite troublesome for Fang Zheng now. At present, he still had no way to use magic. Only a part of the power of existence was unlocked. Facing a monster with elemental attacks, he was still somewhat powerless.
Fortunately, Fang Zheng was not fighting alone.
“Whoosh!”
Just as the black beast turned around to continue chasing, a knife suddenly flew from the side and pierced through the black beast's ear. The intense pain made the black beast roar and turn around, only to see that Irene had come to the other side of the black beast, holding a double blade in her hand, staring at it coldly.
"I'll deal with you, monster!"
"court death!!"
Well done!
Seeing that Irene had held the black beast's hatred, Fang Zheng also hurriedly rolled on the ground and came behind the black beast. Then he clenched the big sword in his right hand, raised it horizontally, and aimed it at the monster in front of him. Then, on the black broad sword blade, dots of fire appeared again, and soon the entire sword was covered in flames. Then Fang Zheng clenched the big sword and stabbed the monster in front of him with force!
“Ohhhhhhhh!!!”
The flaming greatsword pierced into the black beast's flesh. The black beast only felt that from behind, the sharp and hot greatsword was like a red-hot iron rod stabbing straight into the depths of its body from its flesh. The pain that almost penetrated its soul made it wail immediately.
It slapped the ground with both hands, as if venting its pain. At the same time, the black beast struggled desperately to get rid of Fang Zheng behind it. But Fang Zheng would not let it succeed. Seeing that the black beast was trying to break free, he hurriedly stepped forward and pierced the black beast's body with the sword in his hand again!
“Wu…!! Wuuuu!!”
At this moment, the black beast was not just wailing, the sound it made was so horrifying that even the experienced hunter killer felt creepy. However, as a qualified hunter, Irene would not miss this opportunity. Taking advantage of the fact that the black beast seemed to have no power to resist, she hurried forward, and the scimitar in her hand passed through the phantoms and pierced directly into the black beast's eyes.
“Ouch——!!”
This attack also made the black beast very angry. It roared and suddenly stretched out its front paws to slap Irene hard. The hunter killer was unable to dodge and was hit by the black beast. Then he groaned, flew backwards and fell into the grass.
The black beast, which had been severely injured, no longer had its previous majesty. Lightning burned and exploded around it. After forcing Fang Zheng and Irene to retreat, the black beast stumbled and tried to escape. However, because Irene had blinded its eyes, and the excruciating pain from its back, the black beast had no way to quickly think about its current situation and could only wander around like a headless fly.
Just as it was groping and trying to escape, Fang Zheng swung the sword in his hand again, chopping off the black beast's head with a flash of bright red fire. The terrible beast twitched for a moment, then collapsed to the ground, no longer moving.
"This guy is really a bit troublesome."
Fang Zheng swung the sword in his right hand, and a flash of fire appeared on the blade, instantly sweeping away the blood stains on it. Then he walked to the edge of the bushes, where Irene was slowly getting up, holding her chest and coughing.
"How is it? Are you okay?"
Fang Zheng glanced at Irene. The furious counterattack of the black beast was still very threatening. Although it did not penetrate Irene's body, it still left a considerable wound on the hunter killer. However, she did not seem to care and just waved her hand.
"It's okay, just a minor injury. I have a few blood bottles on hand..."
As he was talking, Fang Zheng saw Irene take out a small glass bottle from her waist. It looked about the same size as an ordinary medicine bottle. Irene pulled out the cork from the bottle and swallowed the sticky substance inside that looked like blood.
No... this thing seems to be blood.
"You're really okay with drinking this?"
Fang Zheng watched Irene casually throw the bottle aside. He could even smell the blood inside. It looked like human blood, which meant... was it really a "blood bottle"? !
"What? You haven't seen it before, this is blood therapy."
Looking at Fang Zheng's expression, Irene smiled slightly.
"We hunters were born from blood and gained the power of blood, and now... this is our destiny..."
As she spoke, Irene stood up. Although Fang Zheng was skeptical whether that thing could really cure the disease, at least Irene looked much better than before.
Although he couldn't see his complexion through the crow mask.
"But... I really didn't expect to encounter a black beast here."
As she spoke, Irene came to the body of the black beast and spoke in a serious tone.
"Black beast? Is this thing famous?"
Fang Zheng also carefully looked at the corpse of the black beast in front of him. To him, this black beast was not much different from the previous monsters. Of course, if you had to say, this monster could talk and had a certain degree of rationality, which was indeed a bit strange.
"The black beast is a very scary monster. In the early days of hunting, a black beast once appeared in the old city of Yharnam and wreaked havoc, causing great panic and casualties. In the end, it was Henrik and others who joined forces to subdue the black beast and imprisoned it in the lower city. But I didn't expect... there would be another one here, and... it could actually turn into a human..."
"Can't the monsters in the past become humans?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng asked curiously, and Irene nodded.
"That's right. Those people's bodies can no longer bear the power of blood, so they turned into monsters. In fact, I have never seen anyone who can freely switch between monster and human form. I don't know who he is..."
"Whoever he was, he's dead now."
Fang Zheng obviously had no interest in playing detective games around a corpse, and Irene nodded.
"That's right. Let's keep going. Byron Weiss College is just ahead."
