Chapter 6: Seeing the Strange Beast for the First Time
"Run!"
Old Uncle Zhang roared, dragged his trembling feet, and ran away without turning his head.
But when he didn't take a few steps, the wind hit him from behind.
His eyes went dark, and there was a tearing pain from his head and neck, and his whole body lost its vitality in the darkness.
A huge black shadow swept across, leaving only the body of old Uncle Zhang whose neck had been bitten off. The bitten wound was bloody, very bloody.
In the woodland, the people patrolling around did not immediately find the disappearance of the two old uncle Zhang, and the sneak attack of the strange beast was almost silent.
After more than ten seconds, a team in the distance noticed something was wrong.
"It's strange, old Uncle Zhang and the others, I saw them just now, why are they gone?"
"If you say so, the two of them are indeed gone. Could it be that they got separated from us?"
At this moment, when the team was about to find out, there were rustling and fallen leaves all around.
In the sound of falling leaves, there was also the panting sound of wild beasts waiting for an opportunity.
The sound was like a hungry tiger ready to swoop out at any time and kill its prey.
"What's the sound, I'm a little scared..." One of the townspeople looked around in horror.
"We can't be so unlucky, we met that strange beast just after we entered the woodland!" Another person said in the same fear.
The two leaned together and moved cautiously to one side.
As a result, they didn't take two steps, and their movements stopped.
Because the two who were leaning together felt that they seemed to have touched a huge body, and the surrounding air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The two turned their heads slowly, and what they saw were two blood-colored eyes the size of a human head, and a mouth full of fangs that was dripping with saliva.
"Ah—" The two of them only had time to open their mouths at the same time and let out a scream.
The screams spread around, and the team in the forest finally realized that someone was in danger.
A sharp arrow flew into the sky with a bang, and the red light flashed, as if a crimson sun had risen in the sky.
This is a signal flare, and the signal conveyed is the appearance of a strange beast.
...
In Yuanqiao Village.
"There is movement!"
Master Bai and the man in black spotted the flare and acted immediately.
Lei Yi was also attracted by the red light, and his eyes scanned the forest farm, and the crowd nearby was in a commotion.
"Quick, let's hurry over, there is movement in the forest farm!"
The men in black took the lead in rushing into the forest, followed by Master Bai.
A Biao acted as his bodyguard, protecting Master Bai at all times.
Lei Yi found that the townspeople in Ping'an Town were a little hesitant. They wandered around the village entrance, but they didn't rush into the forest farm with the man in black.
Obviously, they were afraid of encountering real strange beasts.
"Don't worry, everyone, this time we're not going to deal with a strange beast, but an ordinary beast, but it's just a little bigger. There's no danger for so many of us to act together!"
Seeing that the townspeople behind him did not move, Master Bai mobilized immediately.
"Master Bai, it's not that everyone doesn't trust you, it's just..." Several of them hesitated, and one of them promised.
"Hey." Master Bai sighed helplessly when he understood what they were afraid of, because he could only use extreme means.
"Whoever catches that beast, Bai will give him a bonus of 10,000 yuan!"
He roared loudly, and emphasized it again: "I will pay you when I go back!"
In order to mobilize the townspeople, he directly multiplied the reward tenfold.
"Come on, brothers, join me in eliminating harm for the people!"
"Everyone acts together, isn't it just a beast, so many of us are afraid of it!"
"Recently, people in Ping'an Town are panicking,
No matter what we say, we will catch that beast and restore peace to everyone in the town! "
There is a saying that money can turn ghosts. The townspeople, who were a little timid before, were all enthusiastic and their attitudes changed rapidly in the face of money.
Some of them carried hoes and pickaxes on their shoulders, and some held thick hemp ropes, and quickly chased towards the men in black in front of them.
Lei Yi followed closely behind, mixing with the team of townspeople.
In other words, he was one of them in the first place, but he deliberately controlled himself to blend into the crowd so as not to attract others' attention.
He had a feeling that something was wrong this time.
The forest is not too small, at least dozens of people will feel a sense of emptiness and isolation in the primeval forest after entering.
"Over there!" One person pointed to a certain direction, and all the people around him started to act.
After running for tens of minutes, Lei Yi and his party finally saw the main force of the men in black.
The scene here can only be described by the word "chaos".
In the dark among the trees, the man in black held a torch and waved it wildly around, trying to frighten something.
But there is nothing around but trees.
"What's going on, what about the strange beast?"
Master Bai came here under the escort of A Biao. After seeing the situation here, he felt a little strange, because the strange beast didn't seem to be here.
Lei Yi mixed in with the townspeople, and after seeing the movements of the men in black, he narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling more and more uneasy.
"Does that beast have any abilities? Why do I feel that there is danger nearby?" He began to wonder.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
"Roar—" A tiger-like roar sounded from the bushes on one side.
Lei Yi felt a strange and violent breath suddenly appear, and the breath was mixed with a strong desire to kill.
"It's that strange beast, it's been lurking nearby all this time!"
A group of black shadows rushed into the crowd, and that huge force instantly tore through the crowd's defenses.
Accompanied by howling and tearing, the townspeople lost several lives in the short fight.
Lei Yi finally saw the whole picture of the alien beast that attacked the crowd. It was full of fangs, thick limbs, extremely scarlet eyes, and some broken limbs were still biting in its mouth.
This is a huge beast that looks like a tiger, but it is much more ferocious than a tiger, with sharper and more prominent fangs.
Its fur is green all over its body, with black stripes all over it, and its ferocity is by no means comparable to that of ordinary beasts.
Lei Yi looked carefully and found that the beast was over three meters tall and over eight meters long. It was definitely a colossus in front of a group of ordinary people, but compared with the strange beasts recorded in textbooks that could rival high-rise buildings, it seemed rather petite .
However, he also understood why the car driven by the man in black had steel bumps, because with the size of this beast, if he encountered this beast halfway, ordinary vehicles could be regarded as a bunch of toys with slightly harder materials.
"Run!"
"I don't want that money anymore!"
"Mom, help me, I want to go home!"
When the strange beast appeared and attacked the townspeople, the team broke up immediately, and the townspeople fled in all directions without order.
"It's too messy, that strange beast will cause more casualties."
After seeing the crowd around him, Lei Yi shook his head.
Right near him, the two collided in a panic.
Before they could react, the strange beast rushed to the side of the two of them, and with two screams, the two of them lost their lives together.
Lei Yi saw the scene of the tiger and the beast killing two people in his eyes. This beast crushed one person's head with one bite, and smashed the other person's body with its claws. Its power is far beyond anyone else.
And not only that, after the tiger beast easily killed the two, its body retreated quietly, and gradually disappeared into the surrounding environment, disappearing as if invisible.
"This strange beast also has the ability of 'invisibility', no wonder it was not discovered at first, no wonder the group of men in black are also like headless chickens!"
After seeing the alien beast disappear, Lei Yi finally understood why the man in black wanted to raise the torch, and they couldn't tell where the target was, so they planned to use fire to force the beast back.
Among the men in black, the leader saw that the attention of the strange beast was attracted by the townspeople, and he gestured to the man in the skull mask beside him, who nodded slightly.
"Start to act, use those people as bait, and capture strange beasts!"
The leader gave an order and raised his hand to signal action.
The man in black is much more capable than the townspeople, and when he sees that the target of the strange beast is aligned, he knows that the opportunity has come.
The ten men in black were divided into two groups, waiting for the opportunity to move.
"No!" A townsman was bitten to pieces by a strange beast, and shouted with the last of his strength before dying.
I saw the tiger beast supporting its body on all fours, biting the corpse tightly, shaking its head from side to side, intending to tear the flesh in its mouth.
"Do it!" The men in black around rushed to the front and back of the beast, and a group of five began to double-team.
They didn't care about the townspeople who were more than half dead or injured around them, and even someone dragging their bloody and seriously injured body and calling for help didn't make them feel sympathetic.
The man in black threw out the rope he had prepared, and five chains shining with metallic luster flew out, hanging on the body of the tiger beast in the center.
When the tiger beast was ready to move, the chains became tighter and tighter due to the beast's actions, which limited the beast's mobility to a certain extent.
Ten people from the front and rear pulled five chains and began to wrestle with the tiger and the beast, while the leader and the man in the skull mask stood aside, preparing for something.
"Hurry up and use an anesthetic, this beast is too strong, we won't be able to hold on anymore!" one of the men in black urged.
Lei Yi crouched in the grass in the distance, spying on the battle group tens of meters away from his position.
"None of the ten people seem to be as strong as that beast!"
He saw that the faces of the ten people blushed, and they couldn't help the beast with all their strength, but the tiger beast that was restrained did not show fatigue, so he understood the result.
"Roar—" With a roar of the tiger, the tiger's limbs exerted force violently, and a huge force shattered the chains wrapped around its body.
The ten men in black all flew backwards due to inertia at the moment when the chains shattered, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Not good, the anesthetic is still close!" The leader held a test tube in his hand and said in a hurry.
Obviously what he had in his hand was the "anesthetic", but it hadn't had time to inject it into the body of the alien beast yet.
Seeing that there were a lot of people around, the tiger's huge eyes shone fiercely, and the turquoise fur on its body also glowed with a faint green light.
In the light, its huge body gradually faded, and it began to become transparent as if blending into the surrounding environment.
"No, it's going to be invisible again!" This time it started with the man in the skull mask.
After seeing the tiger beast preparing to use its invisibility ability, he raised his hand and threw something, which hit the beast preparing to become invisible like a hidden weapon.
"Boom" explosion sounded, followed by a large amount of black smoke in a space of more than ten meters with the tiger and the beast as the center.
In the smoke, the tiger beast rushed out with its whole body in pitch black, galloping towards the distance.
"Do they know what kind of alien beast they are dealing with? They even prepared a way to restrain invisibility!"
Lei Yi was surprised when he saw the tiger beast that was about to escape.
