Sheyan took a deep breath and activated his helmet's probing ability, only to obtain a single name – Plaga Host (II). The rest were all '???!' Nevertheless, this information alone was enough to cause Sheyan to feel sluggish and despair! No wonder he was able to execute a headshot. How was that a headshot, it was basically a 'I' into 'II' form! To think he was still immeasurably pleased with himself for slaying this freak!!!
Sheyan remained in a daze for a brief moment, before the freak lowered its head and smashed down towards his face. Its fleshy red mandibles were still revolving at high speed, as Sheyan subconsciously blocked with his right hand ….. he simply couldn't block it! That mandibles were simply like a flour mixer. No matter what kind of things were thrown in, as long as it was stuffed in, it would instantly shatter into pieces and be swallowed down.
Sheyan's right hand was the same. He didn't even feel any pain, as his right hand was like a frail tree branch. Kacha! It broke into 2-3 pieces, before being swallowed down by that freak. With such a thunderous momentum, don't even mention the nearby reinforcements, even Sheyan himself didn't have the intention to evade. Only after the mandibles had contentedly chewed on its food and swallowed it down, did Sheyan finally feel the overwhelming pain of his severed limb transmitting through his shoulder!
"AHHHHHHHHHH! Damn it! I must do something, if not, I might die here today!! "
Although Sheyan was currently tormented by agonizing pain, his mind was unprecedentedly clear and calm as he sensed the crisis of life and death!
Observing this frenzied biochemical freak greedily devouring, Sheyan clutched the wound on his shoulder and staggered backwards. Fortunately, the freak was currently engrossed in its meal, and didn't seem to have the time to notice his fleeing actions.
"Oh right! This freak's actions are obviously devoid of human intelligence. Ever since we encountered it, it has only done two things. Firstly, it spits out its eggs for its offspring to reproduce! Next, it devours. This is the most basic instinct of all living creatures. From the moment Mbenga attacked its eggs, it immediately gave up on attacking Mbenga in a frenzy. One can tell this freak doesn't possess any so-called battle intelligence. "
"Then, why is this guy waiting for us at the village entrance? Its location wasn't hidden, nor was it on a strategic high ground ….. Thus, the possibility of it being a pretentious b * stard was eliminated! There was only one explanation …. This should be my only chance at survival! At the very least, it's worth a gamble! "
While pondering, Sheyan staggered towards the center of the abandoned village. The headless monster had already devoured the arm with relish, as it swaggered in pursuit of Sheyan. Although its head was heavy and its feet were light, its movement speed was astonishingly fast. Sheyan had just scrambled to the centre of the village, yet under the illumination of the torchlight, the beast's body left behind a trail of afterimages! From this, one could see how frightening its speed was!
Within a short span of time, Sheyan's back was enveloped by the dreadful 'Blossoming Flower of Death'! If he were to be enveloped by it, then undoubtedly, his entire being would be sucked in and grinded into a bloody pulp.
Yet at this instant, Sheyan's entire body collapsed forward. Forcefully twisting his body in midair, his expression was exceedingly queer. Then, he waved his remaining hand! Tossing a trembling object into the gaping mouth of the Blossoming Flower of Death.
That object's carapace cracked with multiple cracks, as yellowish green fluid leaked out from within. It was indeed a mutated Arachnidacrab that Sheyan had slashed half to death previously! That creature was struggling at death's door, but after being swallowed by the Plaga Host, it was instantly grinded into a bloody pulp and devoured. Yet after devouring, that monster immediately released incomparably agonizing howls and groans, as though a human had consumed a highly toxic substance.
Witnessing such a scene, Sheyan's eyes glowed with a blazing blaze.
"You bastard …... you're indeed afraid of those mutated Arachnidacrab! The reason why you waited at the village entrance, is probably because you've sensed the aura of those mutated Arachnidacrab. Such fear can even suppress your feeding and reproduction instincts! Therefore, those Arachnidacrab's body must be immensely threatening to you. At present, those Arachnidacrab that could still move have fled, while the rest are immobile. That's why you dared to pursue, but …... but I can f * cking help them move! "
After roaring furiously, Sheyan pounced to the side, where a half dead mutated Arachnidacrab was twitching! Grabbing that Arachnidacrab by its head, Sheyan exposed its incomparably incisive venomous fangs. Then, he charged ferociously towards that Plaga Host that was howling in agony, and plunged his venomous fangs deep into its body!!
That Plaga Host released a world-shaking howl, as it swung its arm to send Sheyan flying. Then, it slapped that half dead mutated Arachnidacrab into a pulp. However, before the mutated Arachnidacrab died, it spared no effort to inject its digestive enzymes and venom into the body of the creature it had bitten!
The Plaga Host abruptly stiffened, as its entire body swelled with densely packed black pustules the size of chicken eggs. Then, the pustules ruptured, transforming into an asphalt-like substance. Finally, like a candle, the pustules dissolved into a puddle of black liquid, before finally evaporating into nothingness.
Witnessing this scene, Mbenga was stupefied. He and Reef's servant stood there with their mouths agape for a long while, before rushing forward to rescue the Plaga Host! After receiving a slap from that Plaga Host, half of Sheyan's face had caved in. Needless to say, only 2-3 of his teeth were left. Even his cerebrospinal fluid was mixed with blood as it flowed out from his nostrils. He was now unconscious and on the verge of death.
Mbenga immediately carried Sheyan on his back, while Reef's servant carried Reef on his back. At the same time, he also carried his companion who was bitten by the mutated Arachnidacrab and was on the verge of death. Following the original route, they hastily left this place and arrived at the outskirts of the Kijuju Marshland. Only in this familiar hunting ground, could they find a sense of security.
When Sheyan awoke, nearly 5-6 hours had passed. He breathed in deeply, and after ascertaining that he wasn't dead, he opened his eyes. Seeing him awake, Mbenga chuckled foolishly, before fetching a water vine for Sheyan to bite.
This was actually a local specialty. The body of this vine was rich in water, and a slight suction would release a fragrant liquid that quenched thirst and stimulated saliva. Yet when Sheyan sucked, he instantly felt an incomparable pain on his face. Reaching out, he realized his left cheek had swollen up. Barely able to sit up, his swollen tongue blurred out.
"Where's my companion?"
Reef's servant hurriedly pointed to the side in a fluster. Reef and the other brat bitten by the mutated Arachnidacrab were currently lying in a grass nest with their eyes shut. Shaking his head, Sheyan walked over and inspected them. Their conditions weren't optimistic. Reef's flesh and bones were almost completely dissolved. Once it spread to his internal organs and brain, that would be the day of his death.
Under such circumstances, apart from sending them back to the nightmare realm, Sheyan had no other choice. This signified that he, who had lost his right arm, would have to face an even more terrifying and challenging world alone!!!
This was the first time Sheyan felt a sense of helplessness. He couldn't find any external support, and this was the first time he had the thought of giving up. After all, in the nightmare realm, survival was the most important thing.
The first battle after entering the core region of the Kijuju Marshland, had nearly cost him his life. Truthfully speaking, the difficulty of 'A +' was indeed extraordinary, causing others to shrink back at the sight of it. It wasn't suitable for them to explore. Fortunately for now, if they included the weakening and warning of Prince Stalo, they had basically earned back their investment of 350,000 utility points. To Sheyan's Party Ace, it definitely wasn't a total loss.
Just as Sheyan was about to follow in Reef's footsteps, he suddenly recalled something – there was a possibility that the Plaga Host he killed with the Arachnidacrab might drop a key.
To non-contestants, the key couldn't be seen. This goes to say, even if the Ndipaya barbarians of the core region discovered something amiss and scouted the battlefield, they would definitely stay behind if a key was dropped.
Thinking of that, although Sheyan's courage to continue venturing deeper into the core region of the Kijuju Marshland had been sapped away, he still possessed the courage to turn back. After hastily bandaging his wounds, he tossed two bottles of rum to Mbenga, and requested him to accompany him to retrieve a lost item. Mbenga bluntly displayed his reputation as a 'brave warrior', and straightforwardly agreed without a second word.
