From the moment the monster escaped to the moment it was shot, everything happened in the blink of an eye. Zhang Heng did not expect the battle to end so quickly. When he saw the thing falling from the sky, he slowed down the Audi A6 and stopped it at the entrance of the tunnel.
The old man in the Tang suit opened the door and walked over. He squatted down and checked the creature's breathing.
"Is it over?" Zhang Heng pulled the handbrake and got out of the car.
"I wish I could say yes. It's over. We can go back to where we came from and do whatever we need to do. But something doesn't feel right. The process was a little too easy." The old man in the Tang suit frowned. "I've been fighting it for two months. If it was so easy to kill, I wouldn't have dragged it out until today."
"Based on your understanding of it, what else did it not use?" Zhang Heng walked closer. He had caught a glimpse of this thing when it was stuck on the windshield. Now, he could finally see it in its entirety.
It was slightly bigger than a monkey, about the size of a six or seven year old child. Its limbs were short, and other than its smooth face, its body was covered in golden hair. That was why Zhang Heng thought it looked like a monkey at first glance. The most eye-catching thing about it was the reproductive organ between its legs. It was three times the size of an adult man's.
Zhang Heng was sure that this thing did not belong to any known creature on Earth.
"Reproductive worship. Many aborigines have a similar preference. Also, you seem to have misunderstood something. I may look old, but I'm not as old as you think. The Moresby is a monster from 20,000 years ago. You and I know nothing about it. Thanks to Google and Wikipedia, I was able to find some information about it online." The old man in the Tang suit stood up with his hands on his knees and pulled out the spear from the corpse. "We …"
Just as he said that, he felt a cold sensation on his cheek. A pool of transparent mucus dripped onto it.
"Awesome!" The old man in the Tang suit sighed.
The next moment, a black shadow leaped down from the top of the tunnel.
No one would have thought that there was another Moresby hiding in the tunnel!
It moved very quickly, pouncing directly from above and pressing the old man in the Tang suit to the ground. It then opened its mouth to bite the latter's throat, but its teeth were blocked by the long body.
The old man in the Tang suit was in a bad state. His baseball cap had fallen to the side, his hair was messy, and his clothes were disheveled. He desperately held onto the spear in his hand, but he could only passively defend himself.
He was not as strong as the Moresby monster, and the spear was getting closer and closer to his chest.
Zhang Heng thought he would use the trick he used in the maid café, but he did not know if it was because his power had weakened to such an extent, or because his time turning back did not work in this static world. In short, he looked extremely disheveled.
Zhang Heng knew he had to do something, so he rushed back to the car as fast as he could, took out his SF recurve bow, nocked an arrow, and shot at the monster.
At such a close distance, it was almost impossible to miss.
The arrow pierced the monster's skin as expected, but it could not go any further.
Zhang Heng was a little surprised. When he saw the rusty spear pierce through the Moresby's chest so easily, he thought that the monster's body was not that strong. Now, it seemed that the monster's muscles were as sturdy as a small tree on the roadside.
The Moresby that was attacked turned around and glared at Zhang Heng fiercely, but it did not do anything else. It could clearly tell who was the bigger threat to it, and decided to kill the old man first before dealing with Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng released two more arrows, but when he realized that they were ineffective, he decisively threw away the bow and arrow and ran away.
The old man in the Tang suit thought that Zhang Heng was going to escape with his car. That was a stupid move. If he died, there was no way he could outrun the Moresby.
Seven seconds later, he saw that the black Audi that was parked by the roadside did not leave. Instead, it sped up and charged at him. The monster's vision was obviously affected, and in the blink of an eye, its body was sent flying. At the same time, the front of the Audi caved in. Zhang Heng slammed on the brakes at the last moment, and his head leaned forward under the inertia, knocking into the inflatable airbag.
In the end, the wheel was less than a centimeter away from the old man's left arm. This was the most lethal attack that Zhang Heng could think of. With the monster's sturdy body, only two tons of steel might be able to do some damage to it.
However, Zhang Heng's move had obviously angered the monster. The Moresby was sent flying, and when it landed on the ground, it rolled a few times before getting up again. It glared at Zhang Heng in the driver's seat, bent its calves, and gathered all its strength into its feet.
The next moment, a bolt of lightning shot out from under the Audi and pierced its bald head. The bolt pierced through its forehead and through the back of its head, pinning it firmly to the tunnel wall.
The Moresby's body twitched twice out of reflex, and after that, it lay motionless like a piece of cured meat hanging on the wall.
The old man in the Tang suit climbed out from under the Audi, his face covered in dirt. He walked to the wall and made sure that the monster was as dead as a doornail. Only then did he turn to Zhang Heng and gave him a thumbs up. "Well done!"
Zhang Heng unbuckled his seatbelt. He was a little exhausted from the near-death experience. He leaned back in his seat. "Didn't you say that it was two against one tonight? What was that all about just now?"
"Yes, it was two against one tonight. I just didn't expect it to have two bodies." The old man in the Tang suit shrugged, looking very innocent. "It never revealed this in the previous chase. It seems that it planned to trick me this time. Fortunately, I found a helper tonight."
"…"
"Alright, don't be so depressed. I won't let you work for nothing." The old man pulled out the spear that was nailed to the wall, disassembled it into pieces, and put them back into the broken travel bag. After that, he rolled up his sleeves, inserted his right hand into the Moresby's pierced head, stirred it around, and finally took out a piece of bone with grayish-white brain matter. He then tossed it to Zhang Heng.
"Your reward."
The latter watched as the bone fell to the ground. He had no desire to reach out and catch it.
