Chapter 106: Suppression

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Go there? There are indeed fewer monsters there, but that monster is clearly a troublesome opponent.”

The refined young man looked at the direction Zhou Chen was pointing at and hesitated because there was a blood-red humanoid monster slowly roaming there. No other monsters dared to approach within a hundred meters of it. It was obvious that they were afraid of it.

“Don’t worry, we can deal with it. It might not even attack us.”

Zhou Chen replied calmly.

The reason why he pointed in that direction was because the apothecary was that way. Moreover, he was a little interested in that humanoid monster and wanted to hunt it.

“Let’s take a rest first. I’m a little tired.”

The tall girl interrupted. She was in the worst state among the three. She had been injured during the Holy Mountain’s trial, and before she could rest, she was faced with monsters coming from the crack.

“Alright, I’m a little tired too.”

Zhou Chen agreed. He had been forced out by the monsters before he got a good rest.

The three of them hid in the area to rest. After more than ten minutes, they were forced away by a group of flying monsters.

“Mommy… Mommy, where are you?”

While escaping, the three of them encountered a little girl who was crying on the bloodstained street. Without hesitation, the refined young man picked up the little girl and prevented her from becoming food for the approaching monsters.

“Now is not the time to show kindness!”

His action immediately displeased the tall girl.

However, the young man was not moved. Instead, he replied calmly.

“Don’t worry, I’ll leave her if necessary. I won’t let her burden us.”

The four of them quickly approached the area where the huge humanoid monster was lingering. Once they arrived, the flying monsters that were chasing them changed their direction.

‘This monster is not simple… It must be an elite among them.’

Zhou Chen evaluated inwardly.

“The girl has fainted…”

At this moment, the refined youth who was holding the girl realized that she had fallen unconscious.

“It’s the influence of that monster.”

The tall girl immediately said.

“It’s releasing a special pressure. I also feel that my head is a little heavy.”

“It does feel like it…”

The refined youth nodded quickly and looked up at the huge humanoid monster in the distance.

From here, he could see that the monster would occasionally reach out and pull out one or two unconscious people from the buildings’ windows before putting them in its mouth.

‘This monster should have a passive skill…’

Zhou Chen knew what to do. He immediately walked towards the monster to try hunting it.

“Don’t go over! You might faint!”

The young man immediately reminded.

“I’ll be careful.”

Zhou Chen was not dissuaded. He quietly walked past a street.

After somewhat nearing the monster, Zhou Chen felt a strange pressure. It seemed like his body and spirit had become heavy, and his movements had become a little stiff.

As he continued to move closer, Zhou Chen felt that the pressure had also increased, but the increase was not large. Only by carefully sensing it could he determine the increase.

“I have to kill this monster. I can use the Holy Light…”

Zhou Chen felt that the possibility of this monster having a passive skill was very high. It was worth using the high cost of the Holy Light to kill it.

“I already have a ring that can double my spiritual energy recovery. I can use the Holy Light for a slightly longer time.”

After some thought, Zhou Chen went behind the three-storey tall blood-red humanoid monster while enduring the uncomfortable pressure.

The monster’s perception seemed to be weak. It did not notice Zhou Chen who was approaching it. It continued to walk slowly, occasionally reaching out to scoop up an unconscious native and eating them.

“Shield! Windrun!”

After Zhou Chen was close enough to it, he immediately activated the Shield passive skill that he had only activated for a short time when killing the first insect-like blood-red monster. Then, he activated the Windrun skill and shot directly above the monster’s head like a phantom. Immediately after, a dazzling white light bloomed on his right hand and hit the monster’s head.

Instantly, a strange cry that could induce severe headaches sounded in the air. The monster began to shake violently. It fell to the ground and used its two palms to grab above its head, wanting to catch Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen did not escape. He agilely jumped away from the two grabbing hands and prepared to continue circling around the monster’s head.

However, what he did not expect was that the monster suddenly opened its mouth and flicked out a blood-red tongue. The tongue swept him up and pulled him into the monster’s mouth.

“I was careless. I didn’t expect it to have such a move.”

After being pulled into the monster’s mouth, Zhou Chen immediately used his strength to pull out his arms from the tongue. Then, he wanted to take the steel ironwood spear out of his inventory, but he immediately realized that there was insufficient space around him. He instead took out the ax and chopped at the blood-red tongue that was wrapped his body.

The monster’s tongue was quite pliable. Before Zhou Chen could cut it off, the tongue sent him under the monster’s teeth, preparing to crush him.

“Holy Light!”

Faced with this situation, Zhou Chen decisively used the ax to block the monster’s teeth from closing while he released the Holy Light with the other hand.

A huge force was immediately transmitted from the monster’s huge teeth, but fortunately, Zhou Chen’s body was strong enough to endure it.

During this process, the blood-red tongue that wrapped his body was destroyed by the holy light, allowing him to escape control. Then, when he felt the strength of the monster reducing due to pain, he jumped to the middle of the monster’s mouth. This spot was where the monster’s tongue used to be, but because of the Holy Light’s destruction, it had almost become an empty space.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After reaching the location where the monster’s teeth could not touch him, Zhou Chen began to maintain the Holy Light spell while punching upwards.

Due to passive skills such as Copper Skin Iron Bones, Monolith, Wyvern Skin, Physique Enhancement, and so on, the strength of his fists was higher than using ordinary iron tools. Every punch left a dent the size of a basketball.

A few seconds later, Zhou Chen felt a huge potential force suddenly erupt from his body, which was the effect of triggering the Brutal Strike. Under this punch, the area above him suddenly became clear. The upper jaw of the monster was directly broken by him, and blood leaked through.

The battle was basically decided. Zhou Chen continued to punch the monster’s mouth, piercing into its head and drilling out of the crown.
