Chapter 141
The "mouth" chewed and gnawed, swallowing the chainsaw and crushing it to pieces. Then, sharp, tooth-like thorns began to grow on the deformed man's body.
Its massive body writhed, the steel bars that held it to the wall snapped one by one, and the connected muscles greedily devoured them into its body.
Under the attacks of Miao Yin and Tu Hao, this mutated human began to change shape.
A thin layer of steel adhered to its skin, and black iron emerged from the originally bloody chunks of flesh. When Miao Yin's flashlight, which had fallen to the ground, shone on it, it revealed the cold, icy color of a corner of an iceberg.
"...Has it evolved?" Tu Hao asked doubtfully.
He didn't know as much about mutants as Miao Yin did. The mutants, who suddenly changed their demeanor halfway through the fight, made him wonder if they had been stimulated to evolve.
"Some mutant creatures are just like humans. They are content with the status quo and expect to be waited on hand and foot. They only unleash their potential when they are about to die. We were lucky to encounter one. Rather than saying it is evolution, it is more accurate to say that this is the strength that a yellow crystal core mutant should have."
Tu Hao clicked his tongue: "A monster is a monster."
As the two were talking, the deformed man's head grew back, his pale eyes staring at them with venom.
"Eat...eat you all..." the head uttered in broken Chinese.
"The mutant can talk? I'm going to have nightmares." Tu Hao's face was grim.
Anyone who saw such a large tumor suddenly start talking like its own kind would be so horrified they'd vomit their dinner from the night before.
Miao Yin kicked his heel: "Back at the supermarket, you almost got killed by that mutated human with the yellow crystal core. Now another one has appeared. How about it, want to fight again?"
"You want me to die sooner rather than later," Tu Hao said, but his forest-green eyes remained fixed on the mutant, the fighting spirit surging within them unmistakable even by his mask.
Miao Yin found his expression somewhat amusing and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Scared?"
"Tsk."
Tu Hao grabbed a handful of hair in frustration and looked at her, saying, "Can you guarantee you won't ambush me?"
"Of course," Miao Yin said with a smile, "How could we let our little Tu feel insecure?"
"I'm not afraid! Don't talk nonsense!" Tu Hao's voice suddenly rose.
In an instant, the regrown tentacles with metal spikes lashed out.
Tu Hao pressed down on Miao Yin, and the two of them fell to the ground, thus avoiding the fatal blow.
The tentacle slammed into the wall, smashing half of it.
It's easy to imagine that if they hadn't dodged, they would probably be pulverized by now.
Miao Yin let out a small gasp, blinked her wide eyes innocently, and said in a completely unrepentant tone, "Looks like I should talk less when I'm fighting in the future."
“...Shut up!” Tu Hao said angrily.
He flipped himself up and looked at the head above him.
The tentacle lashed out again, and Tu Hao ducked to avoid it. Then he grabbed the spikes on it from the opposite direction, his wolf claws piercing through the steel skin and sinking into the flesh of the tentacle.
His arm muscles tensed, gripping the tentacle and forcefully halting its movement, while his other hand gripped the knife and slashed down fiercely.
With a piercing scraping sound, only a shallow scratch remained on the surface of the tentacle; the knife was completely worn down.
Both are of similar hardness, and when faced with the deformed humans who have absorbed steel bars and chainsaws, their melee weapons are no longer effective.
Tu Hao swiftly and decisively swung the knife upwards, the tip striking the newly grown head.
He also plunged his other hand into the tentacles, his sharp wolf claws reaching their limit.
He wanted to tear the tentacle apart on his own!
As it turns out, he really could do it.
The tentacles, which even a knife couldn't cut through, were torn apart by Tu Hao's wolf claws!
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh—" The head bearing the large sword let out an angry scream.
The saw blades on his body began to roll along with the distribution of his muscles. The huge, deformed man leaned forward and fell down with a thud, his tentacles flying everywhere and wood chips flying all over the sky.
The head's gaping mouth tore through the skin on both sides of its cheeks, revealing two rows of shark-like teeth, and it frantically bit at Tu Hao.
The mindless monster only wanted to bite the ant that provoked it to death!
Tu Hao grabbed the severed tentacle and shoved it into the mouth of the approaching head, blocking its attack.
Then, grabbing its neck, it flipped over and stood on the deformed man's back, its wolf claws digging into its neck, trying to pull its head off like a tug-of-war.
"Aaaaaahhhhhh—" the mutated human, biting its own tentacle, let out a muffled cry.
Beneath the mask, Tu Hao clenched his teeth and strained with both hands.
The skin on the neck was quickly torn off, and the newborn head was ripped off again in less than three minutes!
Without its head, the mutant lost its sight. Before the dozen or so tentacles could smash down, Tu Hao quickly jumped down and rolled several times on the ground before stopping.
When he looked up, he saw that more than a dozen tentacles had slammed heavily into the spot where he had just been standing, smashing through the mutant's steel skin!
The deformed man, having lost both his wife and his army, was furious, and the large mouth on his body screamed loudly.
Miao Yin, who was lying on the ground and was innocently shaken, sighed.
Even among the aberrant beings at the yellow crystal core level, not every single one is equally strong.
Su Yongfeng, Su Yongfeng, how much food did you feed it to make it so fierce?
Miao Yin stood up, exchanged a glance with Tu Hao, and nimbly navigated through the obstacles, finally passing through the gaps between the tentacles and arriving at the wide-open mouth.
Suddenly, a tube of explosives appeared in her hand. She pulled the pin and threw it directly into the crying mouth!
Before the bomb exploded, Miao Yin slipped into the Guanyin Eighty-Eight Temple.
Upon seeing this, Tu Hao immediately ran outside as well.
"boom!"
A huge wave of heat swept over him, and Tu Hao was violently thrown to the ground, his head filled with only a white, booming sound.
"Om——"
Inside the Guanyin Temple, Miao Yin slowly took a sip of water, put her gas mask back on, and, calculating that the time should be about right, came out.
As soon as she came out, she slipped.
Once she regained her footing, she saw that the ground where she had just stood, as well as the surrounding walls, were now covered with charred pieces of flesh.
The mutant was blasted apart from the inside out, and most of its body was blown to pieces. The remaining large chunk was also blown to the corner of the wall, its tentacles limp and curled up, with only the tips occasionally curling up.
It is clear that this mutant is still alive.
"If they're still alive after all this, the crystal core must be inside."
Miao Yin stepped over the shards scattered on the ground and walked towards the remaining half of the mutant's body.
With a wave of her hand, the burning eel enveloped the piece of meat in concentric circles.
The mutated human writhed in agony, its burning tentacles pounding against its body in an attempt to extinguish the flames.
After discovering that the flames had not shrunk, dozens of metal blades suddenly flew out from its body and attacked Miao Yin.
The blade is sharp and pointed, just like the toothed blade of a chainsaw.
Miao Yin slightly raised her eyes, and a fire dragon suddenly flew out in front of her, swallowing the blades and turning them into molten iron that flowed onto the ground.
"You ungrateful wretch."
The fire suddenly became incredibly fierce, and the already severely injured mutant was completely powerless to resist. Its remaining tentacles quickly curled up and turned black like squid tentacles, losing their vitality.
Miao Yin took a few steps forward, stepped on the still twitching and struggling chunks of flesh, and reached her fair hands into the flames to tear apart the layers of muscle inside.
"It's really thick," she muttered a complaint.
She didn't see her chainsaw, which was two-thirds melted, until she tore it to the very end.
The chainsaw was so blurry that only its outline could be seen. Miao Yin stared at it, and her hands stopped moving.
"Ah."
She could even swallow and digest the steel bars on the outside, yet she still had a third of the chainsaw that had fallen down.
With a flick of her finger, Miao Yin sent a burst of fire over the chainsaw, completely melting it and revealing the yellow crystal core hidden inside.
Sure enough, it hid the crystal core inside the chainsaw.
How insidious! Did they think that by using her things as a cover and pretending that they hadn't finished digesting, she would carelessly overlook it?
Miao Yin pinched the crystal core, burned off the still-connected fibers behind it, and took it out.
Without the crystal core, the mutant immediately lost its life force and turned into a piece of rotten meat.
Miao Yin withdrew the Mi Huo and absorbed the crystal core in her palm.
