Chapter 35: Ignite

At this time, Hong Qi Hua ran over and happened to hear Martin’s words; she immediately covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing. Although she was quite far away, she could still see how dangerous the situation was just now, but this Martin still had the mood to make jokes.

“What about the others?” Bai Yi asked.

“I told them to not run around; they’re hiding together with Momo now.” Hong Qi Hua said.

“It’s fine as long as they don’t run around.” Bai Yi said, taking out his phone to check something. However, his phone was really plagued with misfortune, it was already shattered into many small pieces when he took it out.

“Check where the closest gas station is from here. This slug has very tough skin and coupled with the mucus on top of it, it is very hard to kill it with normal attacking methods. However, it’s afraid of fire, so we will find a gas station and roast it.” Bai Yi said, looking at the Tentacle Slug.

He wasn’t joking when he said that the Tentacle Slug was afraid of fire, just the gas-soaked clothes just now made that guy very anxious. More than 10 tentacles moved at the same time and frantically smacked down on the fire. It only stopped when there wasn’t even smoke rising from the clothes anymore. After extinguishing the flame, the Tentacle Slug turned to face Bai Yi. After these few encounters, the monster had already developed a deep grudge against Bai Yi.

After Hong Qi Hua heard Bai Yi’s words, she immediately took out her phone. Like Bai Yi, she also downloaded the full electronic map of New Zealand on her phone. Something like this could be useful anytime.

“Very close by, 1.5km to our left!” Hong Qi Hua said.

“Let’s go over!”

“Aren’t you afraid of meeting other monsters?” Martin said worriedly.

“It’s not too possible in that direction.” Hong Qi Hua suddenly shook her head and explained.

“We have met three monsters here - 1. Giant Crab Alligator, 2. Tentacle Slug, 3. Armoured Shark Tortoise. It’s not difficult to see that they are all aquatic type monsters. You guys should know about the geographic position of Otorohanga. The city is next to a distributary of the Waipa River, so it’s rich in water resources. It is very likely that the research facility here is researching gene fusion of aquatic creatures. The monsters that made it to shore are probably only these kind of amphibious monsters, so there shouldn’t be many monsters in this city. The gas station is on the other side, even farther away from the distributary than here, so the chances of us encountering monsters isn’t high.” Hong Qi Hua quickly and concisely explained.

Martin looked at Hong Qi Hua dumbly. He didn’t spend much time with Hong Qi Hua so he didn’t know her well. However, he was still stunned. Hong Qi Hua was completely different from the other girls like Ning Xue or Dai Yu Yao. This composure and intelligence, it wasn’t even possible to compare the other girls to her.

“Then let’s leave quickly!” Bai Yi said while standing up.

“Sharpei, go to where Woolf is, and eat the Giant Crab Alligator meat!” Bai Yi instructed.

More than half of the skin on Sharpei was ripped off, and its body was bleeding profusely, appearing extremely scary. The fact that Sharpei could still stand at his time was already unbelievable. Bai Yi wasn’t sure if Sharpei understood him, but after speaking, the three of them ran towards the gas station that Hong Qi Hua was talking about.

The Tentacle Slug chased after the three of them furiously, although the main target was still Bai Yi.

At this time, Sharpei stood on the spot, swaying about. Slowly, Sharpei walked forward, leaving a trail of blood behind it as it walked. It slowly moved to the tentacle that Bai Yi chopped off and suddenly opened its mouth wide.

Woof!

Sharpei bit down hard, it tore at the meat frenziedly and swallowed. Sharpei didn’t listen to Bai Yi to eat the Giant Crab Alligator’s meat but went for the meat of the monster that had harmed Bai Yi and itself. In the world of animals, they were all each other’s prey and predators. This kind of law was so simple and cruel.

……

“Martin, on your body.” Bai Yi suddenly said while running.

“Ah, on my body, are you referring to this? This was caused by the suckers on the tentacles. A few patches of my skin even got ripped off.” Martin spoke while breathing hard. Normally, even a small wound would cause him to be in great pain, let alone this sorry state now while risking his life. However, due to the increased production of adrenaline from his adrenal glands, he still felt very hot-blooded right now.

“I know, I’m talking about the two Brain-Sucking Leeches on your back.” Bai Yi said nonchalantly.

“What?! Brain-Sucking Leeches? Hurry, help me to get them off!!” Martin instantly became extremely terrified. Honestly speaking, Martin had come to accept that if he was killed by monsters then it was just his fate. However, if he let the Brain-Sucking Leech suck his brain matter, he wouldn’t even be able to die in a short period of time. That was what was truly cruel and horrific.

Hong Qi Hua laughed and found a flame, smoking the Brain-Sucking Leeches off.

“When did it climb onto me? Fuck…I completely had no feeling.” Martin swore.

“Probably when you got caught.” Bai Yi said.

“When I got caught? Are you talking about the Tentacle Slug… So it was like that! The Tentacle Slug and Brain-Sucking Leech look very similar. They were probably the same lifeform originally, or perhaps the two of them formed a symbiotic relationship.” Martin only lagged for a moment. In reality, he was the legitimate researcher. After Bai Yi’s simple reminder, Martin immediately thought of the most probable possibility.
