"What the hell?!" Ma Wei's imposter's teeth chattered in fear.
On the other hand, Zhang Heng was already in danger.
Because he had personally witnessed something similar devouring an old scavenger, Zhang Heng was the first to notice the change in the wall. He was able to pull the ignorant Ma Wei's imposter away from the danger zone in time.
If Zhang Heng had only suspected it the first time he encountered it, now he could basically confirm that this unknown existence was indeed intelligent. This was because it knew how to use tactics when hunting.
Earlier, the wall was boiling like water, attracting Zhang Heng's attention. He rushed to save Ma Wei's imposter before the black liquid hit the wall. However, that was just a feint. Its real target was Zhang Heng, who was behind Ma Wei's imposter.
That thing seemed to be able to control the speed at which it melted. The corner of the wall was liquefied even faster than the wall itself.
By the time Zhang Heng grabbed Ma Wei's imposter by the collar, his left foot was already wrapped in the black liquid.
Zhang Heng had seen how that thing hunted before. The last time it devoured the old scavenger, it took less than ten seconds. This time, he didn't have much time left.
In the face of life and death, Zhang Heng was as calm as ever. He turned to the side, tossed Ma Wei's imposter aside, and tried to free himself from the thing wrapped around his foot.
Just as he expected, the thing could freely switch between its liquid and solid state. As soon as it wrapped around his ankle, the ground immediately turned into cement and brick. Now, it was as if his left foot was wrapped in a cement wall.
This was also the reason why Zhang Heng couldn't drag the old man away when he was entangled by this thing. Now that it was his turn, Zhang Heng immediately realized that this power wasn't something his body could withstand. The black liquid was spreading at an incredible speed, crawling all the way up his ankle without any hindrance.
In the blink of an eye, his calf was solidified. If this continued, his entire body would be embedded into the wall. It was a horrible death that no one wanted to experience.
Ma Wei's imposter was surprisingly loyal. Although she was scared to death, she didn't run away the moment she crawled up from the ground. Instead, she shouted at Zhang Heng, "What is its weakness?! What should I do?! "
However, Zhang Heng just glanced at her, pointed in the direction of the field's gate, and spat out a word, "Run!"
If this were a Chiung Yeung drama, the fake Ma Wei would have been shot in the heart by these tough words. She would have hugged Heng's other thigh, tears streaming down her face, and roared in the Ma language, "No, I'm not leaving! If I die, let's die together!"
But in reality, she only hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhang Heng deeply, turned her head, and ran towards the door with her long legs.
At a time like this, there was no time to question. She could only trust her companion's judgment. There were two reasons why Zhang Heng asked her to run. One was that running would work against the unknown creature in front of her. The other was that Zhang Heng knew that he was beyond saving, and he didn't want her to lose her life. That was why he asked her to take this opportunity to leave as soon as possible.
However, after running for some distance, the fake Ma Wei could no longer hold back her tears. She cried as she ran, "Big Brother! But I don't have a key! "
To prevent her from causing any more trouble, Zhang Heng had brought her into the field. After that, to prevent unrelated people from entering, he had locked the gate again.
Naturally, the key to the gate was still with Zhang Heng.
Ma Wei held onto her last glimmer of hope as she turned around to take a look. However, what she saw made her heart sink completely.
Because Zhang Heng was no longer standing where he was. In his place was a wall that had appeared out of thin air, right in the middle of the track.
At first glance, this scene looked a little like a black comedy.
But the fake Ma Wei couldn't bring herself to laugh. She was so shocked and scared that she couldn't even be bothered to mourn for Zhang Heng's death. The thing behind her had just swallowed a person, but it didn't seem to be satisfied. Instead, it became even more violent.
After running for a while, the fake Ma Wei realized that the black liquid wasn't moving very fast. It was basically at the same speed as her fastest speed. The reason why the thing was able to catch its prey was because it was sudden enough. Most people would feel safe when they got close to the wall, subconsciously thinking that danger was coming from another direction.
In fact, if one was prepared, it was possible to avoid it. And what worried the fake Ma Wei the most didn't happen.
The thing didn't know the Sky Demon Disintegration Technique, where it could split itself into multiple parts and surround the area. It seemed like it could only stay in one body, and part of its body had to be connected to the wall.
It could move freely on different walls, but the premise was that the wall it was attached to had to be restored to its original state. During this period of time, the fake Ma Wei could take a breather.
But she still couldn't see any signs of life. In fact, she was feeling terrible. For some reason, she couldn't do strenuous exercise. Ever since her high school entrance exam, she hadn't run like this. She felt like her lungs were going to puke out.
However, if she didn't run, she would die. Ma Wei's imposter even suspected that she would die of exhaustion before she was caught by the unknown creature.
In fact, she was starting to feel short of breath, and her vision was getting blurry. Just when she was about to give up, she heard a familiar voice.
"Over here, hurry up!"
Zhang Heng, whom she thought was dead, had come back to life. She didn't know when he had reopened the gate to the field, but he was now standing by the gate, shouting at her.
She wasn't the only one who saw Zhang Heng. The unknown monster had noticed him as well. The wall behind the fake Ma Wei was quickly returning to its original state.
This was her chance. When the wall was fully restored, the thing would definitely move to the walls on both sides of the gate. By then, it would be too late for her to leave.
The fake Ma Wei felt like she had used up all the strength in her body. Her legs felt like they were filled with lead, and she stumbled towards the gate.
She squeezed out all the energy in her body and rushed to the gate as fast as she could. But at that moment, the nearby wall began to show signs of melting.
A look of despair appeared in her eyes. Just when she thought she was going to be swallowed by the black thing, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and lifted her up.
