Chapter 19: The Cunning Devourer
The military dagger was only inserted one-third of the way before it was stuck in the hard skull and could not move forward any further.
The Devourer, who was injured again, almost lost his mind. He waved his left hand as big as a palm leaf fan and slapped it hard on his head.
He wanted to beat the disgusting food into a pulp.
Lin Ye held the dagger in both hands and stabbed it downwards with force, seemingly unaware of the approaching danger.
"careful!"
The three sisters with superpowers who had fled to a distance to watch the battle suddenly exclaimed.
The corners of Lin Ye's mouth rose slightly. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
The three sisters with superpowers who were watching the fight had already closed their eyes. They couldn't bear to see Lin Ye being beaten into a pulp.
When the palm as big as a palm fan was about to hit Lin Ye, he immediately used instant movement and disappeared from the Devourer's head.
"Bang!!"
The Devourer slapped his own smooth head with a loud noise.
That sound hurts just listening to it.
The slap from the Devourer not only stunned itself, but also pushed the dagger stuck in its head directly into its skull.
It took two seconds for its underdeveloped brain nerves to transmit the pain to its central control center.
"Roar!!!"
"Roar!!!"
The severely injured Devourer roared angrily.
It flapped around like a madman.
"Bang!!"
"Bang!!"
......
It smashed holes in the hard brick ground, and gravel and dirt flew everywhere.
Lin Ye stood silently on a solar lamp, staring at the mad devourer, looking for an opportunity to give it a fatal blow.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed.
The opportunity is coming!
The Devourer lowered its head, as if searching for the enemy.
Its wrinkled neck was right under Lin Ye's eyes.
With a thought, a nearly two-meter-long saber appeared in Lin Ye's hand, flashing with cold light.
"Teleportation!"
Lin Ye’s figure appeared above the Devourer’s neck.
The saber cut through the sky, slashing down suddenly with the force of thunder that could smash everything into pieces.
"Crack!"
The sharp saber severed the Devourer's cervical vertebrae and chopped off the Devourer's huge head without further ado.
"Oh!"
The headless corpse of the Devourer fell to the ground with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust. Dark green blood spurted out like a fountain, painting a new pattern on the grey ground.
Its round head rolled a few times and stopped not far in front of the three sisters with superpowers.
Until its death, it kept its eyes wide open, unable to believe that it would die at the hands of delicious food.
Lin Ye knelt on one knee, holding the saber and breathing heavily.
Although the battle with the Devourer was not long, he consumed a lot of physical strength and more than half of his supernatural powers.
The three sisters with superpowers opened their beautiful eyes again and looked at the huge head in disbelief, with turbulent waves in their hearts.
Such a terrifying monster was killed by him alone.
Is this something a human can do?
The gazes of the three sisters with superpowers involuntarily shifted to Lin Ye.
They stared blankly at the figure that didn't look strong, and strange thoughts gradually arose in their hearts.
"You guys, don't just stand there, help them hold back the Devourer first. Let me rest for a while so I can have the strength to kill it!"
Hearing Lin Ye's cry, the three sisters woke up as if from a dream and immediately joined the battle, providing remote support.
Putting away the saber, Lin Ye sat down on the ground. He held a handful of crystal cores in his hand, channeling the supernatural powers in his body and madly absorbing the energy inside the crystal cores.
As the pure energy was absorbed into his body, Lin Ye's physical strength and consumed supernatural powers were recovering rapidly.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he recovered to his peak condition.
Lin Ye originally wanted to join the battle immediately, but he found that Wang Xiaoqi and the other two, with the help of the three sisters with superpowers, had suppressed the Devourer.
It seems that it won't be long before they can grind the Devourer to death.
So, Lin Ye immediately changed his mind. He took out another handful of crystal cores, held them in his hand, and began to improve his supernatural powers.
That Devourer will be left to Wang Xiaoqi and the others to hone.
"Hahaha! So happy!"
Wang Xiaoqi shouted with great comfort. He carried the Grim Reaper's scythe and walked around the Devourer. Whenever he had the chance, he would cut a hideous gash on its body.
Zhuge Jing did the same, adopting guerrilla tactics and refusing to confront the Devourer head-on.
The doubly awakened Liu Feng took on the role of a meat tank, actively standing in front of the Devourer and drawing full hatred.
The three sisters with special powers stood in the distance and provided long-range fire support. Although their skills did not have much attack power, they could cause a lot of trouble to the Devourer.
In particular, the paralysis and slowing effects brought by lightning strike and freezing spells relieved a lot of pressure on Wang Xiaoqi and the other two.
Soon, the Devourer's body was covered with knife wounds.
There were wounds as black as ink, and there were also wounds that were burned to the point that the skin and flesh were charred.
Although these wounds are not fatal, there are too many of them!
The Devourer's vitality is fading away every moment, and its movements are becoming slower and slower.
If it continues like this, it won't be long before it is tortured to death by several people.
However, just when Wang Xiaoqi and the others thought victory was in sight, the Devourer suddenly stopped, slapped his chest and let out an angry roar:
"Roar!!"
"Oh no, this guy is going to use his ultimate move!"
Zhuge Jing and the other two immediately retreated a certain distance and took defensive postures.
However, the Devourer's next move stunned them. It jumped out of the battle circle and rushed towards the square.
When the few people came to their senses, the Devourer had already rushed into the square, got on all fours, and frantically devoured the zombie corpses on the ground.
It just rolled up its long tongue and a zombie fell into its mouth. It chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
"Fuck! They are so hungry that they even eat their own kind!"
Wang Xiaoqi couldn't help but complain.
"Don't let it eat those carcasses!"
The three sisters with superpowers came to their senses and shouted loudly in panic.
The three of them instantly understood the Devourer's purpose. It wanted to recover from its injuries by devouring the corpses of its companions, and perhaps even evolve.
Zhuge Jing and others soon discovered something was wrong and immediately pounced on the Devourer.
After eating a few zombies, the wounds on the devourer's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its languid aura gradually became stronger.
Faced with the attacks from several people, the Devourer became smarter.
It avoided fighting and played the game of police catching thief with Wang Xiaoqi and his friends.
The Devourer's speed is not slow to begin with. If it tries to escape, Zhuge Jing and the others will be unable to do anything to it.
The scene suddenly became a little funny.
In the huge square, three skinny humans were chasing a huge monster and fleeing madly.
The monster fled while frantically eating the zombie corpses.
The Devourer's injuries healed quickly and its size grew rapidly.
"Quick! Quick! Stop it!"
The three sisters with superpowers stamped their feet in anxiety, and their faces were filled with fear.
