"Monsters?"
Meng Chao was stunned.
Before he could register what was going on, he heard gunshots, grenades exploding, human shouts, and pained screams coming from all directions. Of course, there were also the deafening and brutal roars of monsters mixed with them.
It was as if a crack leading straight to hell had been torn open underground, and a monster horde had surged out.
"That's impossible!"
Meng Chao mumbled. "Mutual Gold Coliseum is the place with the greatest defense in the lair right now. There's a slight possibility that the wanted criminals and former Reaper Squad members could disguise themselves as gang members and sneak in, but there's no way that a large group of monsters could sneak in and hide under Mutual Gold Coliseum."
But the rising and falling screams were getting increasingly shrill, and it was impossible for them to be fake.
Meng Chao had indeed smelled a thick stench of blood in the air.
He could also smell the foul, primitive stench of monsters.
When he saw that the underground of Mutual Gold Coliseum had turned into a monster's playground, Meng Chao gritted his teeth, pulled down his hat, and stuck close to the wall. He headed toward the direction where the monster roars were the loudest and the stench of blood was the strongest.
Boom!
A powerful light flashed in front of him, and a loud explosion came.
Following the gunshots and smoke, Meng Chao turned a corner and saw three gang members fighting fiercely against a monster.
There were also a few corpses lying around their feet. Even though they were wearing motorized armor, they had been torn in half along with their armor.
And this monster …
Meng Chao's pupils shrank swiftly.
A monstrous demonic figure appeared in the center of his pupils.
The monster's original form should be some sort of liger-type monster.
But it was much larger than a normal liger-type monster. Its body was about the size of a rhinoceros or hippopotamus.
What was even more terrifying was that there were countless sharp bone spikes protruding from its body. There was even a blue liquid flowing down the spikes, making it look like a deformed, mutated hedgehog.
Countless sarcomas were beating like hearts between the spikes.
Venom flowed down the sarcomas as well. They dripped on the floor and let out sizzling sounds. Wisps of smoke rose into the air.
By the looks of it, aside from being poisonous, the monster's bodily fluids were also incredibly corrosive.
Just as he expected, Meng Chao found signs of severe corrosion on a few of the broken motorized armor.
By the looks of it, the gang members did not know what was going on and attacked too close. Once they were splashed by the monster's bodily fluids, the mechanical structure of their motorized armor malfunctioned, and they could no longer move properly. That was why they were fatally attacked.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Even if Meng Chao had the memories from his previous life, he could not remember the monster's name even after he racked his brains for a long time.
This wasn't a naturally occurring monster in the wilderness!
Wait a minute —
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and stared at the Bone Liger's neck.
Even though its bones and muscles were continuously growing deformed and deformed, Meng Chao could still vaguely tell that there was an electromagnetic collar around its neck that pierced its spine.
"This is a sign of artificial modification and domestication.
"This electromagnetic collar should be able to turn a monster's spinal cord into charcoal when it loses control.
"This is a biochemical beast that was originally imprisoned in the depths of Mutual Gold Coliseum!
"But aren't all the biochemical beasts injected with sedatives and suppressed by electromagnetic shackles and high-voltage electrical nets? How did they manage to escape and turn into such a deformed and terrifying appearance?
"Why aren't the collars and other restraints working? Why is it still jumping around and howling?"
Meng Chao knew that to make monster fights more interesting and exciting, the operators of the coliseum liked to modify the monsters beyond recognition.
For example, they would attach awe-inspiring armor to their flesh and put a few cannons on them.
But the evil appearance of the Bone Liger in front of him had already surpassed the limits of human aesthetics.
Furthermore, the venom and acid flowing around its body were too dangerous and difficult to control.
It was ten times stronger than a normal liger-type monster's, and it was not something that could be activated through normal modifications.
'Wait, ten times stronger …'
Meng Chao's eyes went wide, and cold sweat broke out on his skin.
He knew what was wrong with the originally obedient biochemical beasts.
"Deification Capsules! The appearance and symptoms of these biochemical beasts are the same as the robbers who took the Deification Capsules! "
Meng Chao screamed in his heart. 'The Deification Capsules can instantly stimulate a normal person's vitality by decades and allow them to temporarily awaken to supernatural abilities. Of course, they can also be used on monsters.
'Besides, since the physical qualities of monsters are much stronger than those of normal humans, it's only natural that they can withstand a larger amount of Deification Capsules. They can turn normal monsters into superbeasts, or from Grade One Nightmarish Beasts into Grade Two or Three. They can even stay in the state of Hell Beasts for a few minutes!'
Meng Chao knew that the Vortex would not give up on a weapon as powerful as the Deification Capsules.
As for the monsters who had changed beyond recognition and gone berserk after taking the Deification Capsules, how could they break free from the electromagnetic shackles, high-voltage electrical nets, and other restraints?
This was not surprising when Meng Chao thought about Red Brows Su Lun.
Mutual Gold Coliseum had originally been built with the help of various large sects because of his suggestion.
Since Golden Tooth invested the most and was the strongest, the construction and operation of Mutual Gold Coliseum was mainly handled by Golden Tooth. More accurately speaking, Red Brows Su Lun was in charge of it.
He might even be the one who personally designed the defense measures to trap the monsters. At the very least, he had approved them.
Naturally, he knew where the fatal weakness of the entire defense system was.
There was also a high possibility that he had left a backdoor in the electromagnetic shackles and self-destructing chips to plant viruses in them.
When necessary, he just needed to press a button to paralyze the restraints that humans thought were foolproof!
'Su Lun released all the biochemical beasts under Mutual Gold Coliseum!
'He even switched their sedatives to Deification Capsules so that they could instantly release their incredibly violent life potential and turn into existences even more terrifying than the beasts in the wild!'
Meng Chao knew Su Lun's scheme.
He was in a hurry, but he could not think of a way to solve it.
On the surface, Su Lun had helped Meng Chao by releasing hundreds of rampaging biochemical beasts.
The pursuers were all engaged in a difficult battle. When they faced the mutated monsters' fangs and claws, they naturally had no time to continue chasing after Meng Chao.
But Meng Chao would not thank Su Lun for this.
Because this meant that Meng Chao's head was once again filled with hot sh * t that was fresh out of the oven.
What was even more terrifying was that when everyone's attention in Mutual Gold Coliseum was focused on Meng Chao and the biochemical beasts who had taken the Deification Capsules, no one had the spare energy to look at the warehouses filled with ammunition, high-grade crystals, and reinforcements.
While Meng Chao thought about this nervously, the three gang members had already started fighting against the Bone Liger.
Just now, the Bone Liger had caught them off guard and killed a few of their companions the moment they faced it. There were also a lot of terrifying wounds on its body.
No matter how much it did not fear pain, its torn tendons and shattered bones still severely affected its movements.
And the three enraged gang members received an increase in fighting strength that did not lose to those who had taken the Deification Capsules due to the intense stimulation from their adrenaline.
While they roared, they stepped over their companions' corpses and fired at the Bone Liger.
The bullets tore open the Bone Liger's flesh. Its howls turned into screams of pain, and a large amount of poison and acid gushed out.
With their companions dying a horrible death as an example, the three gang members became smarter. They maintained a certain distance from the Bone Liger and were constantly on guard against the sticky liquid that gushed out of its body.
In the end, aside from tearing their chest armor and corroding their masks and guns while the Bone Liger struggled, the Bone Liger did not manage to injure them in the slightest.
As they stared at the monster carcass that had turned into a pile of rotten flesh and was still twitching nonstop, the three gang members removed their masks, which were severely corroded, and could not see clearly. They looked at each other and smiled as if they had just survived a disaster.
But their smiles soon froze.
Because new, even heavier panting came from the depths of the tunnel.
It was a bestial presence that was ten times stronger than the Bone Liger's.
A true mountain of flesh slowly rose from the darkness in the depths of the tunnel.
Its red eyes were filled with killing intent, and the tips of its fur were like steel needles. Sticky liquid that looked like blood flowed out of them. Its two horns were raised high, and they were like burning siege hammers. Its abnormally swollen flesh even tore through the sturdy cowhide and blocked up every crack in the tunnel.
The Demonic Black Mountain Bull was originally a fearless tyrant among Nightmarish Beasts.
After taking a large number of Deification Capsules, its potential instantly exploded, and it became a terrifying existence that was comparable to Hell Beasts.
Even the gang members who had been through hundreds of battles felt chills run down their spines when they were stared at by the emotionless, red eyes that were filled with hunger.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
They poured out their firepower without hesitation.
But even if the barrage of bullets hit the Demonic Black Mountain Bull, they could not break through the defense of its fur, which stood up like steel needles.
Even if a few bullets managed to slip through the net and crawl into the fur, they would only be embedded in the sturdy cowhide.
Even if they broke through the cowhide, tore through its flesh, and even pierced its organs, so what?
The Demonic Black Mountain Bull was a peerless beast that would fight to the last drop of its blood.
Besides, the Deification Capsules had even stimulated its spirit flames, which burned its fist-sized brain!
"Roar!"
The Demonic Black Mountain Bull was enraged by the humans' provocation. It let out a deafening roar at the three gang members.
A storm that smelled like sulfur came out of its body, and it blew at the three gang members so hard that they could not open their eyes.
The world spun, and they heard the Demonic Black Mountain Bull charge forward. Its footsteps against the ground sounded like a demon king beating war drums.
The three gang members sank into a swamp of death. They could not fight back, and they lost their ability to think.
In their endless despair, aside from the demon king's war drums, they could only hear one sound.
Behind them came the howl of blades scraping against the ground.
