Chapter 10

Before today, Huang Shang had never believed in so-called intuition, thinking it was something vague and baseless, with no scientific foundation.

But at this moment, although he had not found anything in the mist, he could clearly feel the threat emanating from it.

This feeling was like someone pointing a blade right in front of your eyes; even though you were not injured, it could make your hair stand on end!

"What's in the mist!"

Feeling this inexplicable and intense sense of danger, Huang Shang's heart grew increasingly heavy.

Logically, with his current abilities, even if a large number of zombies appeared in the mist ahead, he could still escape. But this intense sense of danger was undoubtedly warning him that there was something even more terrifying than ordinary zombies in the mist!

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

At this moment, a loud and intense engine sound suddenly erupted from the distant mist and was rapidly approaching!

Soon, three motorcycles emerged from the mist, speeding towards Huang Shang's direction. The faces of the three young men on the motorcycles were filled with fear, as if something terrifying was chasing them!

No, it wasn't just as if; there was indeed something chasing them!

Whoosh!

As the three men drove their motorcycles at full speed through the mist, a faint red shadow suddenly caught up with them at a speed faster than the motorcycles, then pounced directly on the motorcycle at the back!

Boom!

In just a blink, the rider on that motorcycle was knocked off by the red shadow, and the riderless motorcycle crashed into a lamppost, shattering into pieces in a loud explosion.

"AAAAAAH—!"

At the same time, a scream filled with panic and pain echoed from the mist, but it was abruptly cut off by a dull tearing sound!

Clearly, whatever that red shadow was, it had already taken the rider's life!

Hearing the screams and tearing sounds from behind, the remaining two riders became even more panicked, knowing that the blood-red monster would soon catch up and take their lives, just as it had done before!

In this critical moment, the leader, a young man with purple hair, seemed to make a decision. His eyes hardened, and he gripped the baseball bat in his hand, swinging it back and smashing it into the head of the rider next to him.

Bang!

The young man clearly did not expect the purple-haired youth to suddenly attack him, so he was caught off guard, his head bleeding profusely, and his motorcycle lost balance, crashing heavily to the ground, dragging him along and leaving him with severe injuries.

After knocking the young man down, the purple-haired youth did not stop but continued to ride towards Huang Shang's direction.

"Xing Fei, damn you..."

Looking at the retreating back of the purple-haired youth, the bloodied young man let out a desperate roar.

He never thought that his leader, who always said he would protect him, would betray him at this critical moment, leaving him to die!

But before he could continue cursing, the red shadow once again shot through the mist and landed beside him!

It was only at this moment that Huang Shang truly saw the appearance of the red shadow!

What a terrifying monster!

This monster was more like a humanoid reptile than a human.

Its skin, as if corroded or torn, was almost completely gone, exposing its highly swollen, blood-red muscles.

Moreover, its eyes seemed to have degenerated, shrinking to the point of being almost unnoticeable, but in stark contrast, its blood-red mouth was abnormally large, filled with sharp teeth. Combined with its sharp claws, this creature was a perfect killing machine!

"No... no..."

Seeing the blood-red monster land beside him, the bloodied young man was so frightened that he trembled and begged for mercy, even wetting his pants in fear.

However, his pleas were useless to the monster. In the next moment, the monster swung its sharp claws, slicing through the young man's head.

Pfft!

With a light sound, the monster's sharp claws, like a guillotine, severed the young man's head, and a red shadow flashed from its mouth, piercing through the young man's skull!

"This... is a tongue?!"

Seeing the long, blood-red tongue, covered in backward-facing spines, instantly pierce through the young man's skull, even the tough Huang Shang shuddered!

What kind of monster is this!

Crack!

As Huang Shang was stunned by the terrifying monster, the monster's long tongue suddenly retracted, pulling the young man's head back into its mouth, and it bit down hard.

In an instant, with a crisp sound of bones breaking, the young man's head was crushed like a soybean, and a large amount of blood and brain matter splattered, covering the monster's blood-red mouth!

After crushing the young man's head, the monster leaped up again, like a bolt of lightning, continuing to charge towards the direction of the purple-haired youth and Huang Shang!

"Die!"

At this moment, the purple-haired youth saw the scene behind him through the motorcycle's rearview mirror.

Upon realizing that the monster had instantly killed his last "companion" and was continuing to chase him, he was chilled to the bone. He suddenly swung the blood-stained baseball bat in his hand, aiming to knock Huang Shang down, who was not far away, to use him as a distraction and create an opportunity to escape.

Although he knew that even with Huang Shang as a "bait" to buy time, he might not be able to escape the monster's pursuit, he could not afford to think about it at this point!

Even if it meant just a few more seconds of life!

Unfortunately, the purple-haired youth underestimated Huang Shang's strength and reaction!

Bang!

Just as the purple-haired youth thought he could knock Huang Shang down with the momentum of the motorcycle, Huang Shang suddenly raised his right hand, catching the baseball bat with a precise grip, and then exerted force.

In an instant, the purple-haired youth felt as if his bat had hit an impenetrable wall, and a tremendous force transmitted through the bat!

This force was so great, and the purple-haired youth was almost completely unprepared, so he was thrown off balance, crashing to the ground with his motorcycle, rolling several meters, and suffering severe injuries, barely able to stand up.

"Looking for death!"

Seeing the purple-haired youth, who was now battered and pitiful, Huang Shang's eyes flashed with a cold light.

If he had not killed twenty or so zombies, increasing his strength and reaction by nearly three times, and was just a step away from the initial success of the Gu Yi Forging Body Technique, he would have been knocked down by this guy and become the monster's meal, just like the previous rider!

But thinking of the red monster, Huang Shang's heart tightened, and he gripped the crowbar in his hand, focusing on the terrifying monster slowly emerging from the mist, fully on guard!

The speed and destructive power the monster had just displayed were too astonishing, and even with his current strength, he had no confidence in fighting it!

Drip, drip, drip!

Perhaps the monster was wary of Huang Shang's easy interception of the purple-haired youth, or perhaps it was simply toying with its prey. In any case, the red monster did not immediately attack Huang Shang or the purple-haired youth but slowly approached Huang Shang like a leopard sizing up its prey.

At the same time, droplets of blood-tinged saliva dripped from its mouth, making a light sound as they hit the ground.

"Damn, how can there be such a monster!"

As the red monster approached, Huang Shang's pressure increased, and he gripped the crowbar tightly, ready to face the monster's attack at any moment!

Whoosh!

Finally, when the red monster was about five or six meters away from Huang Shang, it attacked!

The monster's thick limbs suddenly exerted force, and its nearly two-meter-tall body shot forward like a blood-red arrow, moving at an extremely fast speed towards Huang Shang!

The monster's speed was so fast, even faster than the motorcycle the purple-haired youth had been driving at full speed, that even with Huang Shang's current reaction speed, he could not react in time and could only swing the crowbar and smash it towards the monster.

Bang!

In an instant, a loud metallic clanging sound, like the collision of weapons, echoed, and Huang Shang felt a tremendous force transmit through the crowbar. If he had not stabilized his center of gravity with all his might, he would have been knocked flying.

Even so, he almost lost his balance, taking several steps back, and his palms and arms ached from the impact!

The monster was not only fast but also incredibly strong!

Fortunately, although the monster was strong, Huang Shang was not weak. As Huang Shang was pushed back, the monster was also pushed back by the powerful counterforce, landing a few meters away from Huang Shang.

"This is trouble!"

Although he had repelled the monster, Huang Shang's heart did not relax at all; instead, it turned cold.

Because he could clearly see that his steel crowbar had several deep cuts, clearly from the collision.

If he was unlucky, the crowbar might not withstand the next clash!

What would he use to fight the monster without a weapon?

Moreover, the monster's most terrifying aspects were its speed and the unpredictable blood-red tongue. If he continued to fight, he would surely die!

This is a big problem!
