"Ahhh!!! Look at Lao Xing's back!" someone suddenly shouted, pointing at Lao Xing's corpse.
Only when the person fell to the ground did the others notice.
It turned out that the clothes on Lao Xing's back were long gone, and his skin looked as if it had been scraped hard by something with barbs, with flesh rotting and no skin left.
The red flesh and blood hanging on it caused a group of people to gag.
This happened so suddenly that everyone in the Dragon Tiger Gang was stunned.
Xiao Jin didn't know, but the Dragon Tiger Gang members did. This person was one of the gang members they had sent to guard the gate. One of them had been found by the short man, who was their leader, while the other had been left at the gate.
The entrance they were referring to wasn't the one underground, but rather the elevator entrance leading to the upper floors.
This is also why the Dragon Tiger Gang didn't notice Xiao Jin coming in!
At this moment, Old Xing's miserable appearance and the "big monster" he kept talking about made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
"Go...go quickly!"
Some people suddenly realized they couldn't stay any longer and turned to run away without even paying attention to Xiao Jin.
A dozen or so people scattered in an instant, none of them noticing Xiao Jin's wary expression.
"It's too late!"
Xiao Jin didn't move, but murmured something to herself. At the same time, she quickly flipped over and hid behind the shelf. With a wave of her hand, a thick steel plate appeared out of thin air and blocked her way.
Just as Xiao Jin had hidden himself, several blood-red tentacles, like demonic claws reaching out from hell, suddenly surged from the direction where Lao Xing had originally been standing.
They carried with them a suffocating stench and an indescribable fear, instantly enveloping the entire space.
The tentacles came on strong and fast, so fast that they seemed to tear invisible cracks in the air.
They twisted and hovered in the air, instantly locking onto their prey, and then without hesitation plunged into the backs of several people who didn't have time to react.
With a piercing scream, those people's bodies were instantly pierced, and blood gushed out, staining the surroundings red.
Xiao Jin was not spared either; a tentacle, carrying immense force, slammed heavily onto the steel plate in front of her.
The deafening sound caused Xiao Jin's arm to go numb involuntarily.
Undeterred by the initial failure, the opponent continued its relentless assault. Under the relentless blows of the tentacles, the steel plate began to groan under the strain, until it finally gave way and was pierced with a horrifying hole.
However, because the opening was too small, the tentacle could not move after it reached a certain point. The sheet metal jammed its upper edge, fixing it in the center of the steel plate.
Through this, Xiao Jin was finally able to clearly see the appearance of those tentacles.
Its surface is covered with a slippery mucus, and its blood red color is tinged with dark purple, as if it has been soaked in blood.
Below the tentacles were not suction cups, but a patch of tiny barbs. Seeing this, Xiao Jin finally understood why the skin on Lao Xing's back had disappeared!
At its very tip, near Xiao Jin's face, was a sharp barb.
Beneath the barb, a bizarre mouth is cleverly concealed, its outermost edge covered with tiny, densely packed sharp teeth, resembling a ring of menacing fangs.
When this terrifying mouthparts are deeply inserted into the human body, it begins to greedily and voraciously suck the warm blood until the person is drained dry.
Xiao Jin's eyes flashed with anger, and he swung his long sword to cut down the tentacles that were swaying in front of him.
She kicked the steel plate in front of her, sending it flying towards the ceiling before crashing into a monster that was trying to ambush her.
'Bang!'
Before anyone could react, the monster was knocked down. Its massive body slowly moved, and several tentacles were forced to retract.
Several members of the Dragon Tiger Gang who had narrowly escaped death quickly hid behind Xiao Jin upon seeing this.
That was a different monster from the previous snow beasts, level 3? Or higher.
Upon closer inspection, its overall shape resembles an enormous tumor, with an uneven surface covered in mucus and unknown patterns.
Its tentacles do not hang haphazardly, but are cleverly concealed within its thick and deformed body, like a venomous snake poised to strike.
It waits for its prey to step into the trap before suddenly extending its reach to deliver a fatal blow.
At the same time, a huge eyeball was clearly visible in front of the tumor.
This eyeball was unusually transparent. When people stared at it closely, they could see through the surface and look directly at the intricate network of blood vessels and meridians behind the eyeball.
Xiao Jin flicked her wrist, and the 'Wheel of Fortune' appeared in her palm. Without a moment's hesitation, she swiftly pulled the trigger.
Immediately, two consecutive bullets broke free of their restraints, slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound, heading straight for the eyes of the enormous, ferocious monster.
Just as the bullet was about to hit, the monster reacted very quickly. Several slimy, snake-like tentacles suddenly shot out, blocking the incoming bullet with perfect accuracy, just like a shield. The sound of metal hitting slime was particularly jarring in the silence.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin showed no sign of backing down. She sprang up, drew her long sword, and instantly plunged into the battlefield.
Xiao Jin was exceptionally agile; with each roll and leap, a gust of wind accompanied his sword strikes, precisely severing the tentacles that were trying to bind him.
However, while Xiao Jin was fighting the monster, it quietly set its sights on the trembling survivors at the edge of the battlefield.
Several thicker, faster tentacles suddenly detached from the main body, shooting through the sky like arrows, heading straight for those people.
Several shrill screams pierced the sky as a few unfortunate survivors were impaled by tentacles and held high, like strings of candied hawthorns.
"Help! Help!!"
Taking a moment to glance at them, Xiao Jin noticed that although she didn't want to save these people, the monster's tentacles, which she had severed, had grown back after it had drunk blood.
If left unchecked, these people will only become nourishment for the other side.
Seemingly sensing that Xiao Jin intended to save people, the monster quickened its pace, its tentacles almost leaving afterimages as they danced.
Xiao Jin was unable to extricate herself for the time being.
"Waaaaah~ No, please don't kill me."
The once arrogant underling was now trembling like a leaf, sitting on the ground, too afraid to get up.
At that moment, a tentacle stopped in front of him, waving back and forth with a hint of mockery.
The barb at the tip swayed left and right, brushing past his eyes several times, only a few centimeters away from his eyeballs.
Immediately afterwards, the tentacles lifted slightly, revealing the sharp mouthparts underneath.
Then, its mouthparts slowly opened in front of its younger brother, stopping only when they could fit a head in one gulp.
A stench of blood and filth assaulted the senses.
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
The tentacles, like venomous snakes, suddenly shot out and completely enveloped the little brother's head.
With a chewing sound, the headless corpse fell to the ground with a thud, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the broken neck.
