Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 580 - 139: Aquatic Aberrations

Long pain is worse than short pain, the mysterious creature's neurotoxin has already seeped into the membrane of the wings. Even if the residual mucus on the surface is burned off with flames, it's useless...

The pain was indescribable, just like amplifying Wang Xiyi's pain perception thousands of times, then carving into her flesh with a small knife dipped in concentrated saltwater, one cut after another. If this pain continued, not only would Wang Xiyi be unable to fight, but there was also a possibility she would faint from the pain at any moment.

The black dragon's body has a strong regenerative ability. Even cut-off wings can regenerate, but for such a completely severed "serious injury," it would take at least two or three days to grow back.

At least in this battle, Wang Xiyi had thoroughly lost the ability to fly.

The tentacles retracted into the depths of the building, seemingly not pursuing, but Wang Xiyi could clearly perceive the slight tremors coming from underground—the mysterious creature was moving along the underground pipes, encircling her from multiple directions.

More than one mysterious creature? Or multiple tentacles of the same mysterious creature?

Wang Xiyi didn't bother to think and accelerated in place, once again speeding through the buildings she had just smashed through!

These old brick structures couldn't withstand two rounds of this "trouble." Behind Wang Xiyi, buildings collapsed one after another. She was like a cannonball fired from the ruins, rushing to the entrance of Senyang Aquarium in an instant!

Wang Xiyi didn't just rush in unarmed; instead, she grabbed the wreckage of the van, lifted the entire vehicle, and with its front end forward, rammed it into the open door of Senyang Aquarium!

The sound of shattering glass echoed all around as numerous fish tanks were crushed into powder, and the aquatic creatures inside these tanks fell to the ground one after another.

A horrifying scene appeared. After struggling on the ground for a moment, these aquatic creatures began mutating—they grew limb-like appendages that could move on land, some began secreting mucus from their belly, crawling and squirming like mollusks, and others evolved organs that could compress and eject air, propelling themselves over a meter into the air using jet propulsion.

All of this happened within just two seconds.

"Has Wang Xiyi's communication not been restored yet?" Yang Qi frowned and asked.

"No, but according to the last message she sent back, she seems to have been attacked. I guess her headset was knocked off," Ye Xuan said. "But judging from the data transmitted by the Hunter's bracelet, her vital signs have not fluctuated, so she shouldn't be seriously injured. I tried to send a message to her bracelet, but she didn't respond… seems she is currently fighting the mysterious creature."

Yang Qi: "Is it really unnecessary to send support?"

"Night Slayer is right, if even she can't handle the enemy, then sending support would mean sending Sun Hang..." Ye Xuan shook her head.

Just then, Song Yarong, who had been tapping on the keyboard at the table beside them, suddenly stood up and walked over to Yang Qi.

"I just checked the detailed information on this 'Senyang Aquarium.' Tsk, there are indeed a lot of suspicions... really don't know what the Jinlu County Investigation Bureau branch is doing." Song Yarong handed a tablet to Yang Qi. "Senyang Aquarium was registered in the year 4714 of the Chinese calendar, in March, with a registered capital of 100,000 yuan. The legal representative is a local of Jinlu County, named Li Fan, who previously sold ornamental fish and fish feed at stall number 145 in Jinlu County's farmer's market, and later co-opened this aquarium store. You can also find this store on navigation software, along with some customer reviews."

"Huh? Isn't this the stronghold of the cult organization? They really do sell fish?" Shinkata Misaki asked in surprise.

"To pull off an act, it's essential to do everything perfectly. If they don't operate normally, it would easily arouse suspicion from the local Public Security Bureau," Ye Xuan said calmly.

"But almost all of the reviews on the software are bad. Like saying the fish died within two or three days after being brought home, or the pet cat died after eating fish feed bought from them… The customer of this review even complained to the relevant departments, saying that Senyang Aquarium sold fake feed..." Yang Qi stared at the screen of the tablet computer in silence, while Song Yarong vividly explained to the others in the room.

"And then? Did this not get investigated?" Shinkata Misaki asked.

"No, the owner of Senyang Aquarium admitted it was his mistake, mistakenly selling rat poison from the store as fish feed to the customers, and he compensated the customer a large sum of money… These can all be found in the civil mediation records of Jinlu County," Song Yarong said.

"I don't think that was rat poison," Yang Qi shook her head, pointing to the photo in the record, "this bag clearly states 'Senyang Aquarium General Freshwater Fish Feed,' I don't believe an aquarium would use their fish feed bags to hold rat poison."

"Didn't the department that received the complaint conduct a test on this 'rat poison'?"

"No, the moment they called Senyang Aquarium, the owner immediately chose to apologize and compensate because the customer's compensation requirements were fully met. The entire process was almost free of disputes, so that bag of rat poison wasn't taken for testing either." Song Yarong said, "Jinlu County has a serious rat problem, and every household keeps rat poison on hand. Cases of pets accidentally ingesting rat poison and dying are common."
