Chapter 54 (2/2)

Just like that, 5 minutes had pa.s.sed. The two people in the car were composed and silent. Just when Zhang Heng thought that the thing had disappeared, something hefty suddenly landed on the roof of the car! There were dents in the steel the shape of two footprints above Zhang Heng’s head.

And then, the next minute, a strange face peeped down from the winds.h.i.+eld!

It was a creature that looked very much like a monkey, but with unusually large eyes that took up nearly a third of its face. Like the primate, its face was hairless, covered only in wrinkles like an old man.

Zhang Heng could see the greed in its yellow pupils. But when the creature noticed someone else sitting at the back of the car, it quickly turned around and scrambled towards the other end of the tunnel!

“Go after it!” The old man in the Tang suit finally broke the silence.

Since there was no time for questions, Zhang Heng got the car running and floored the gas pedal. The metal beast roared as it barreled forward.

Zhang Heng turned on the high beam, and under the luminosity, he could see that Moresby creature running on the wall of the tunnel. Its movement was swift, as if completely unaffected by gravity.

If he had not seen it with his own two eyes, he really would not have believed that such a being existed on earth, and at least now he knew why the old man had been chasing this creature for two months and had yet to succeed.

With his level 2 driving skills, he was barely able to tread on the creature’s heels, and that too was thanks to his car’s light that flooded the tunnel. Once they were outside of the area sealed in both directions, it would be able to burrow its way into a building nearby with this creature’s agility.

If that were to happen, even if Zhang Heng’s driving skills were 10 times better, he would never be able to catch up to it.

Fortunately, the old man in the backseat finally made a move. He opened the broken luggage he had been hugging to his chest, and took out a metal piece speckled with rust and a.s.sembled them into a rusty spear.

From its appearance, it did not look like a weapon but a cultural relic that had just been unearthed.

“I borrowed this thing from a friend of mine,” the old man explained as he opened the window and stood up on the seat with the spear in hand.

He was not very tall, but at that very moment, he appeared like an imposing G.o.d as if becoming one with heaven and earth.

Zhang Heng did his best to keep the Audi stable, keeping the car from swaying side to side as the old man threw the spear without even aiming.

When the spear left his hand, it exploded into a burst of light, flitting across the sky like a bolt of lightning!

As it sensed the incoming danger, the Moresby creature gathered even more speed, and began to jump frantically! But no matter how hard it tried to avoid it, the spear remained firmly locked onto it as if it was equipped with a tracking device.

Finally, the creature pushed itself to its limits, and just when it was about to escape the tunnel, the spear punctured it from the back into its heart and out through its chest!

Moresby dropped as if he had been drained of all strength and fell motionless onto the asphalt road.
