39: Chapter 39 Capturing the Scavenging Demon

39 -39 Capturing the Scavenging Demon

Under Ge Du’s command, a Scavenging Demon rushed toward Gu Panxi, and in mid-air, it sprayed a stream of green acid at her.

But the acid had not yet touched Gu Panxi’s body when it was repelled by a burst of white light.

Then Gu Panxi stepped forward fiercely, grabbed the Scavenging Demon’s neck, and with a slight exertion of force, the body of the Scavenging Demon cracked, the fissures all filled with white light.

Releasing her grip, the Scavenging Demon fell to the ground in pieces, with no blood flowing out because its blood had been dried by the white light.

Ge Du’s expression became even graver, his four crimson eyes fixating on Gu Panxi.

It understood that just as the human by her side was as weak as can be, the monsters it had infected could at best play an auxiliary role in their battle, and even buying time for it to escape was incredibly difficult.

Therefore, it had to take matters into its own hands.

The dense mass of small tentacles on Ge Du’s back rapidly thickened and lengthened, sharp spikes growing from their tips, ready to inject anyone they pierced with the loss virus!

Seeing those tentacles, Wen Wen shrank back even further, not wanting to be caught up in the battle between these two, as another injection with the virus was not something to be taken lightly.

Facing the dense, needle-like tentacles, Gu Panxi showed no fear, her other hand condensing a Crystal Shield, and she charged toward Ge Du.

Two beings, utterly different from humans, collided.

The Scavenging Demons, along with the giant rats and that unidentifiable Water Blob, all attacked Gu Panxi in their own way.

And even when faced with the assault of so many monsters, Gu Panxi’s body remained unbreakable, crushing the monsters with violence like a true Angel.

Wen Wen, hiding behind, eyed the Scavenging Demons spitting acid with some envy.

“I need to find a way to get a Scavenging Demon, or else there will be no gains from this mission.”

Then he began to look among the Scavenging Demons for an easy target, one on the fringes that kept spewing acid toward Gu Panxi.

The acid attack of the Scavenging Demon couldn’t penetrate the white light around Gu Panxi, but it could still weaken her, lessening the pressure on Ge Du.

Just as the Scavenging Demon was fiercely spraying acid, suddenly, a knife was embedded in its shoulder.

It turned its head abruptly, its disgusting compound eyes looking in Wen Wen’s direction, but finding nothing, it turned back to continue its acid spewing task.

Then, another knife struck it.

Afterwards, one knife after another…

Finally, when the sixth knife was embedded, the Virus Mother controlling the Scavenging Demon couldn’t take it anymore.

How many knives did that hidden Insect have?

It signaled the Scavenging Demon with a glance, and the Scavenging Demon roared as it ran toward Wen Wen’s direction.

With six knives embedded in its body, even a fool would know the direction from which the knives came.

The Scavenging Demon ran swiftly, turned a corner, and plunged into the sewer where Wen Wen was hiding, then it tripped…

That’s right, when Wen Wen decided to draw the Scavenging Demon’s attention, he had deployed Black Chains, creating a simple Tripwire.

The pitch-black Black Chains, in an environment like the sewer, were difficult to spot.

Strike while the iron is hot; Wen Wen quickly mounted the Scavenging Demon, using the Black Chains to strangle its neck, hoping to subdue it.

Wen Wen had observed that its acid could only be sprayed from its mouth, so it was safe to stay behind it.

Usually, the battle would have ended by now against a normal opponent, but although the Scavenging Demon seemed as fragile as a rag doll in Gu Panxi’s hands, it wasn’t easy for Wen Wen to subdue it.

It was much stronger than Wen Wen, who possessed a Vampire Constitution, yet its Speed was more than a notch slower, and its body was slippery, not just its insect-like head but its body also had an exoskeleton like that of an insect.

Wen Wen could only tightly grip the Black Chains while also utilizing the daggers embedded in its body to barely fix himself on its back, as if taming a wild horse.

The Scavenging Demon kept crashing fiercely against the walls and the ground, making Wen Wen see stars.

“This guy is too energetic, even if I can keep self-healing, I damn well can’t hold on!”

Wen Wen’s aim wasn’t to kill it; to kill it, a few shots of Demon Hunting Bullets to its head would suffice.

Wen Wen wanted to capture it alive.

Realizing that this wouldn’t work, Wen Wen gritted his teeth and snapped his fingers, Cold Qi emanating from his hands, causing the Scavenging Demon’s body temperature to drop rapidly.

“Since it looks like an insect, its habits should be similar, right?”

Apart from a few insects, most would perish in severe cold, so Wen Wen was betting that the insect-like Scavenging Demon’s body functions would halt in the extreme cold!

After freezing for a while, the Scavenging Demon’s movements became slower and finally stopped entirely, leaving only its antennae trembling slightly.

Wen Wen let out a sigh of relief, the Black Chains surged out, binding it up and slowly dragging it into his gauntlet.

After dealing with the Scavenging Demon, Wen Wen sat on the ground, taking a few heavy breaths to slightly recover his strength, then pulled out the pistol loaded with Demon Hunting Bullets and left the sewer.

He wanted to pick off any leftovers; the other two creatures might also have enticing abilities.

Opportunities like this, encountering multiple creatures with others drawing their fire, were rare.

However, when he saw the battlefield, he realized there was nothing left for him to pick up.

The giant Rot Fiend had been sliced into two pieces.

Its tail and limbs would twitch occasionally, and the Water Blob…

well, only filth lay on the ground with nothing else left, beyond salvage.

The only things left on the field were the bereaved mother with many tentacles severed and two Scavenging Demons, missing some limbs, which Wen Wen felt were not worth capturing for the Sanctuary.

The bereaved mother had been killed in a very embarrassing fashion, while Gu Panxi’s armor didn’t even have a speck of dust on it, although the white light was much weaker than in the beginning.

Ge Du’s four eyes emitted a sinister glow, always wanting to buy time with these minions to escape, but Gu Panxi had never given it the chance.

If it dared to turn its back on Gu Panxi, it was waiting for death!

Now that most of its underlings had died, it couldn’t hide anymore, and so Ge Du’s eyes flashed with a fierce look.

All the remaining tentacles stabbed into its own body, severing the bottom half of its caterpillar-like form, and pungent blood covered the floor.

“Is it trying to self-mutilate?” Wen Wen, who was watching, was startled.

After the tentacles stopped, the bereaved mother actually split into two, becoming a humanoid creature with limbs and a strange caterpillar with human thighs!
