The second roar came several seconds later. This time, Feng Bujue and Blade Runner were fully focused, so naturally, they heard the monster's location clearly. The two of them exchanged glances and headed in that direction together.
Their pace was not fast, but it was very quiet. Feng Bujue switched the mask back to its invisible state and then took out the Eye of Hostility from his inventory and put it on. In the previous scenarios, he had either been acting alone or had run into situations like Death Quiz, so he had not used this equipment for a long time. This was the perfect time to put it to good use.
Even though there was light in the corridor, it was not perfect. Every once in a while, there would be an area that was brighter with white light, and then there would be a dim corridor about fifteen meters long, and then there would be another bright area … and so on. Therefore, Feng Bujue took out the flashlight to scout ahead. He was mainly worried that he might miss some game clues in the dim corridor.
The two tiptoed down the corridor and came to a T-junction. During this time, the monster's low roar came again, and it was louder than the previous two times.
They stopped at the junction and looked to the left. After turning into the corridor, they would reach the end about twenty meters away. There was a thick metal door at the end, and there was a rudder-like valve on the door. The monster's roar came from behind the door.
Feng Bujue titled his head and whispered, "Since the door is closed, it means that this is an optional scenario. Based on that … this monster is not weak, and the system has given us the choice to kill or not kill it. If we don't kill it, we'll just leave from the other side of the corridor; if we take the risk and kill it, we should be able to get a corresponding reward. "
Blade Runner also lowered his voice to ask, "What if this is a boss-level monster that is stronger than Jason?"
"Impossible, Jason is the strongest monster in this scenario; there is no doubt about that." Even though Feng Bujue had not spent much time with Flashes of Sword, he had a feeling that the man was a straightforward and open person. There was no need to be overly cautious when communicating with him, so he did not hide anything from him. "The skill of my title allows me to check the data of the scenario's final boss directly. When I entered the scenario, I took a glance, and the boss of this scenario is Jason."
"Oh? There's such a skill? " When Flashes of Sword heard that, his interest was piqued. He asked, "Hmm, then who was the boss that you encountered in the Thunderbolt scenario that we were in?"
"No," Feng Bujue said.
"Why?"
"I just heard the quest hint, and you charged at me with your sword. Was I supposed to just stand there and look at the menu?"
"Is that my fault?"
"Of course."
"Haha … then how is Jason's data? Is he strong? "Blade Runner asked.
"How should I put this … In terms of fighting ability, perhaps he is not as strong as alien monsters like the Predator, but in terms of survivability, he is harder to kill than a ghost," Feng Bujue replied.
The monster's data that Feng Bujue had seen earlier was as follows:
Name: Jason Fawcett
Race:???
Level: 20
Height: 190 centimeters
Weight: 113 kilograms
Fighting Style: Close Combat, Familiar with machetes, knows how to use other weapons or bare hands
Weakness: Obedient to his mother
[Owned Skill: Resurrection (Even if Jason is completely destroyed physically, he can appear again as long as he finds a ridiculous reason)]
[Danger Level: Medium]
Feng Bujue personally believed that the resurrection skill was meant to mock the producers who had filmed this series for so many episodes …
Roar!
The monster inside the door roared again. Since they were closer this time, Feng Bujue and Blade Runner heard other noises. It sounded like the grinding of metal. It was light, heavy, and dense.
"Let's put those irrelevant things aside for now. After all, Jason is already on the spaceship. Normally, we won't run into him until we leave the scenario," Feng Bujue said. "Let's talk about this monster first. Should we kill it or not?"
"Huh?" Blade Runner was startled. "Aren't you responsible for coming up with the plan? Why are you asking me? "
"Oh … is that so?" Feng Bujue mumbled. "You'll kill whatever I tell you to, right? That makes things easier." He put the flashlight and steel knife back into his backpack and walked forward to grab the valve on the metal door. "I'll open the door now. You rush in and slash. I'll cover you from behind."
"Hey …" Blade Runner then realized … why did Feng Bujue ask for his opinion?
It was too late to say anything now. Feng Bujue had already turned the valve. With a strong push, the metal door swung open. The monster inside the room seemed to have noticed the situation at the door. Before Blade Runner rushed in, it moved first.
After pushing the door open, Feng Bujue retreated a few steps back and pulled out the steel knife again. Flashes of Sword was about to bend his body to rush into the door when he heard the strange sound of grinding metal coming from the darkness again. Almost instinctively, Blade Runner stopped moving. He held his sword before his chest and charged at the black shadow that was rushing out from the door.
Following a strange creaking sound, the monster's large body poked out from the door. When the monster's full appearance was revealed before Flashes of Sword, the latter immediately abandoned the thought of using his sword to block the attack and retreated as fast as he could.
The monster came to the light of the corridor. Its appearance was so strange that it was hard to describe.
Imagine spreading out a newspaper and placing a pile of metal objects of various shapes on top of it. For example, clothes hangers, screws, scissors, L-shaped water pipes, a large ball of iron wire and so on … Then, wrap these things with the newspaper and apply pressure from the outside to squeeze out the air from the inside. There was no doubt that the protruding edges of the metal objects would pierce through the outer layer of the newspaper and poke out. In the end, the result would be an irregularly shaped metal object wrapped in a layer of paper full of holes.
The monster that came out from the door was something similar to this. However, its body was not made of newspaper but a layer of eroded skin. This skin was thicker than a bedding and there were many holes on it. Some moving and messy metal objects poked out from the holes. There were bicycle poles, rolls of barbed wire, car parts, the iron fence of the anti-theft door and so on … they were all rusty and broken trash.
The size of the monster was hard to tell. It was about the size of a car. When it was in the room, it could turn into the shape of a bun. In order to squeeze out of the metal door, it could also turn itself into the shape of a taco.
It used the metal objects that poked out of its skin to move on the ground. It looked like a squirming snail, but in fact, it had countless "legs." The sound of friction that Feng Bujue and the rest heard just now was the sound of it moving.
The low roar came from inside its "body." However, even Feng Bujue found it hard to imagine what the core of the monster was wrapped in a layer of skin more than ten centimeters thick and a pile of living metal …
"Is this thing a machine or a living creature?" Flashes of Sword retreated as he stared at the unknown monster that was slowly moving toward him. It was not that he was spooked by its strange appearance, but he did not know where to start his attack even if he wanted to.
Feng Bujue stood a few meters behind Blade Runner. "In any case, it doesn't look like a spirit." As he said that, he took out another weapon from his backpack. He held a steel knife in one hand and a wrench in the other. He looked forward. "So, I have double insurance."
Blade Runner turned his head slightly and glanced at Feng Bujue from the corner of his eyes. "How are we going to attack?"
"Cut it open," Feng Bujue said in a very calm tone.
"That's easy for you to say. It has so many metal 'tentacles' that are poking out, and it's so big. It's not good to get close to it …" Before Blade Runner could finish his sentence …
Feng Bujue took a big step forward and swung the two weapons at the monster. The monster had indeed launched a counterattack, but surprisingly … it was very weak. After all, the rusty metal objects were not sharp weapons, and they did not move that fast. Even the strength was not that strong. In any case, the monster's attack was like a normal person swinging a bicycle at you. In real life, it could injure you, but in the game, the physical fitness of the players was different. Furthermore, with Feng Bujue's weapon, it would not be a big deal.
After a series of swings, Feng Bujue managed to cut open the 'skin' on the front of the monster. A pile of rusty metal that gave off a damp and moldy smell was exposed before his eyes. Without hesitation, he raised the cleaver and slashed. Using [Androids Must Die] to cut through the pile of scrap metal was like using a plastic knife to cut a cake. The monster's metal body was cut open with the force of the cut.
When Flashes of Sword saw how weak the monster was, he instantly felt embarrassed by his cowardice. Without a second thought, he rushed forward and used Shining Shadow Slash. With the buff from his attack speed, he tore through the monster's body like a human-shaped shredder.
The thick layer of the monster's' skin 'oozed out a liquid similar to engine oil. After it was chopped up, it splashed everywhere. In an instant, the ground was covered in minced meat, black oil, and rotten metal pieces …
The strange thing was that the monster that had been growling earlier was very quiet under the attacks of Feng Bujue and Blade Runner. Even though it kept moving the metal parts in its body to defend and counterattack, it did not make any more growls.
In the next three minutes, the two of them were like mice gnawing on cheese, launching a continuous barrage of attacks on the monster. On the monster's side, even though its metal limbs did not pose much of a threat, it did not stop.
The process of killing this monster was more tiring than expected. If it was a werewolf that came out of the door, then it would be easier. Perhaps its attack power would be at least five times stronger than this monster, but it would not be so troublesome to kill.
Finally, after the two had depleted about 300 Stamina Points, they finally saw what the monster's core was. Instantly, the monster's curiosity level rose to a whole new level …
