Chapter 1160: A Critical Hit

But at that moment, an extremely dangerous feeling suddenly surged up from deep within Yuwen Xuan’s heart.

“Not good! There’s movement…”

Yuwen Xuan’s expression changed, and his first instinct was to retreat.

But as soon as his foot moved, his body froze.

“The enemy was just nearby… My probing must have alerted them. If I retreat, I could temporarily avoid danger, maybe even get back into the Corridor and lower my chances of being attacked, but…”

“I didn’t come here to run away…”

With a “whoosh,” a ball of Flame suddenly burst from Yuwen Xuan’s hand.

The half-burned cigarette instantly turned to ash, and the faint mist in the air became a thick cloud of black smoke.

Zzzt!

Immediately, a scent of burning meat wafted out from the black smoke.

Yuwen Xuan’s pupils contracted, and the Flame in his hand surged nearly tenfold in an instant.

“Got you!”

“Caught off guard, I burned one of them to death!”

Even though he was still shielded, the spot where the Flame burned was exactly the weak point Yuwen Xuan had found.

In the haze, Yuwen Xuan saw that shadowy figure…

The entire upper body and head of the figure were engulfed in Flame, and with intermittent crackling sounds, the exposed skin had turned black-red and was covered in countless blisters.

If this continued, he really might be burned alive.

Never mind anything else-the sheer agony of being burned was enough to rob anyone of all fighting power.

Yuwen Xuan’s combat ability might not be top-tier, but this mutation system Superpower was extremely powerful and useful.

Especially when the enemy was unprepared and recklessly approached him-the chances of getting hit were high.

But what made Yuwen Xuan’s face change dramatically next was that the figure didn’t scream in pain. Instead, he calmly opened his eyes in the midst of the Flame…

The Flame even burned his eyeballs, yet he stared unblinkingly at Yuwen Xuan…

“What… is this thing…”

Yuwen Xuan couldn’t help but freeze…

This situation… was far beyond his expectations…

First of all, it was certain-this wasn’t human!

Secondly…

“Zombie? No… Even Zombies wouldn’t act like this…”

Senior Zombies use their lives more effectively… Their goal is also evolution, but they’ve moved past the stage of acting purely on instinct.

Low-Level Zombies may be fearless, but once injured or their lives are threatened, they react accordingly…

Like… going berserk, fighting desperately with their last ounce of strength…

But this shadow… just stared coldly at Yuwen Xuan…

Even though it was only for an instant, Yuwen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine!

This figure… was very dangerous!

Bang!

Yuwen Xuan retreated almost the moment he realized this, but even so, a streak of Red Glimmer flashed past his eyes.

He didn’t even have time to see what it was-he could only instinctively shield his vital spots with his Arm and Flame as countless invisible attacks closed in on him. ŔÅℕ∅𝔟Ε§

Those Red Glimmers, after passing through the “weak point,” were shielded again and vanished.

“It’s over… I’m dead… So many attacks, and the enemy isn’t afraid of fire-I can’t block them…”

“What a shame. I won’t even know what killed me…”

“But at least… I’ll leave them a warning before I die…”

Yuwen Xuan set his own clothes alight…

But just as the Flame flared up, his eyes suddenly widened.

A moment ago, he felt countless knives stabbing toward him, but now he sensed the enemy retreating…

It was abrupt and swift-a rapid withdrawal…

He quickly looked toward the weak spot. The Flame on the figure had disappeared, though his head was still smoking. But when Yuwen Xuan looked at him, countless faintly glowing silver threads had appeared around the figure…

The next moment, a figure suddenly leapt down from above his head.

As the silver threads beside him tightened, the figure landed right in front of him.

Pfft!

A spray of blood burst out, and the corpse collapsed into the grass with a thud.

After the figure landed, only her head and neck could be vaguely seen through the window.

But Yuwen Xuan recognized her at a glance…

“It’s that little girl who’s been hiding from us… Did she just… jump down from the second floor?”

Yuwen Xuan was a bit stunned… Actually, for superhumans, jumping one or two floors is nothing. Some special superhumans can even jump from dozens or hundreds of meters high. Of course, the energy cost is enormous… But what really shocked Yuwen Xuan was the little girl’s instant kill technique.

Even though the real scene seen through the weak point was blurry, Yuwen Xuan knew clearly-the little girl had no other weapon in her hands…

She appeared suddenly while the figure was attacking, coordinated with the silver thread, and with bare hands… tore the enemy to pieces!

Yuwen Xuan had only seen this kind of attack from one type of Creature…

Non-human…

But in fact, that wasn’t what surprised Yuwen Xuan…

What flashed through his mind instantly was…

“Yalin… and her… do they both attack like this…”

In their hands, the human body’s fragility is no different from paper…

“Hmm?”

Yu Shiran turned her head to look inside the room, but saw nothing.

“Black Silk, did you see just now?”

“I saw it… Looks like you killed it in one go because you saw it too…”

“Yeah… I didn’t expect there to be such a Monster among them that I’ve never even heard of… the smoking-head Monster…” Yu Shiran sighed heavily.

“…Of course you’ve never heard of it! Because there simply isn’t such a Monster! Isn’t it obvious? Inside the window, it’s definitely that madman. And this guy was clearly attacking just now… Even though I acted as quickly as I could, I don’t know what state the madman is in now. Seriously. These humans just won’t stay put…” Black Silk shouted in one breath, then couldn’t help but mutter, “They only needed to be a decoy… Their bodies are fragile, their reactions are slow, so why do they have to risk their lives? I really don’t get it…”

“From this, it seems the others didn’t act, not because they’re cowards, but because they didn’t want to affect each other… What a bunch of foolish humans…”

Black Silk stood at the second-floor window, looking down below.

A moment later…

“…What do we do next? Keep waiting here like this?” Yu Shiran’s voice came.

“Fool! Would you fall for the same trick twice?” Black Silk snapped.

“I would!”

“Don’t answer so readily!” Black Silk said. “This time, the people they sent were taken out. Judging from their original intent, they probably won’t send anyone else. On the other hand, they’ll likely ignore us for now and speed up their attack on Ling Mo and the others. If I’m not mistaken…”

“So that means… aren’t we just making things worse?”

“Don’t jump to conclusions.” Black Silk pressed both hands on the edge of the windowsill and jumped from the chair she had been standing on to the windowsill, thinking to herself, “What I’m saying is based on the premise that… we still haven’t attracted enough attention from the other side. Originally, I planned to make a stronger attack, or just capture someone to refresh our presence, but that madman helped us a lot. He found the weak point in the shield… With this, we might be able to contact Ling Mo…”

“This is much better than my original plan…”

Black Silk leapt and landed right beside Yu Shiran.

Meanwhile, Yuwen Xuan, who had crashed into the corner, stared dumbfounded at the window…

“Another one fell down…”

“Ah! Ouch, ouch, ouch…” He suddenly realized his clothes seemed to still be on fire…

“This… let’s just call it a work injury… Luckily, no one saw…”

“Yeah, I was overthinking… So what if they saw? So what if they haven’t seen it before? Since I’ve decided to accept it, I should accept even more…”

“Did Ling Mo have it any easier back then?”

“Besides, back then, it was right when the disaster broke out. His mental endurance probably wasn’t as strong as it is now…”

“If he could do it… so can I…”

Yuwen Xuan frantically patted at the flames while thinking resolutely…

“Ahhh! It’s about to burn my crotch! Help! Help…”

Whoosh…

A dozen silver threads entered the weak point, then probed into the granary…

Yu Shiran was now leaning against the wall, out of Yuwen Xuan’s “peeping” line of sight.

“How long can you extend your hair, little doggy?”

“I don’t know, I haven’t tested the limit yet. But judging from past experience, it probably can’t cover the whole granary. I’ll just have to try…” Black Silk had just finished answering when she suddenly reacted, “Hey, you fool with the surname Yu, enough already! I have a name, okay!”

“Does Black Silk even count as a name?”

“Why wouldn’t it!”

“…You know that’s actually a specific color of stockings, right? Most of the time they’re worn on the legs of human females, sometimes on males or mixed-gender groups, and sometimes even pulled over the head…” Yu Shiran finally couldn’t help but ask.

“Alright, I know what you’re trying to say… You think I don’t mind?” Black Silk couldn’t help but purse her lips, then suddenly yelled, “Of course I mind! That Ling Mo… he still doesn’t know why I never listen to him… Anyone would be unhappy with such a casual name! He only knows how to lead people out… but he doesn’t understand how I felt when I introduced myself! Did you see the look on those humans’ faces? As soon as they heard my name, they all looked at me with such sympathy! That female human even tried to come hug me! I’m a dignified dog-girl… Even though I look like this now, I used to be a beast that made people cry and corpses run! And now I’ve fallen to this… Just thinking about it fills me with resentment!”

Black Silk exploded… and went on a tirade…

Anyway, right now, Ling Mo couldn’t hear anything…

All the hiding and bottling up had built up over time!

Having a master who controls and spies on you, being a pet builds up a lot of pressure too…

“Oh! When you get angry, your extension speed suddenly increases! I can even faintly sense it!” Yu Shiran had been listening with a bit of schadenfreude, but suddenly exclaimed. For her to passively Sensing such a change, it had to be huge…

Black Silk was stunned too, then said, “You’re right, it seems I’m starting to break through my limits…”

The silver threads were growing wildly with a “whoosh whoosh whoosh”…

“But… it’s still not enough! We need to find more weak points, and the path definitely won’t be a straight line…”

“Little doggy!”

“…”

“Has anyone ever told you you’re cute?”

“…Um… master seems to have…”

“He was lying to you!”

“Ah…”

……

“Now you even lift one leg to pee, don’t you!”

“Who lifts! And I don’t pee anyway! Hey, try something new, I don’t get mad at all…”

Yu Shiran paused for a moment, then suddenly said slowly, “Master will never like you…”

“Ah!” Black Silk’s face froze instantly.

Immediately, the silver threads she extended began to grow like crazy!

“Hmph… take my ultimate move…” Yu Shiran licked her lips, revealing a hint of a smug smile.
