Chapter 9 The First Combat

The monster was stuck there, moving slowly; it was the perfect time to attack.

If it completely entered the real world, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with; who knows if it could avoid bullets.

Every bullet pierced the monster's body, splashing stinky green blood, but the monster became even more furious, staring at Wen Wen as if it wanted to rip his flesh apart.

"Hmm, my shooting seems to have improved a lot, hitting the target from such a distance... But now, at least you've fixed your target on me."

Wen Wen put the gloves back into his gun bag, and the pitch-black gloves appeared. He gripped the watermelon knife with both hands, his eyes intently fixed on the monster, barely containing his excitement.

"Come on, if you talk about monsters, I'm a monster too. Who's afraid of whom!"

"Ao~ Ao~ Howl!" The monster roared in anger.

The sound of the monster was strange, like the call of a whale, penetrating, making Wen Wen, who had keen hearing, somewhat uncomfortable.

But the residents around the hotel heard little of this noise; only a few who did hear something vague did not dare to come out and check.

In fact, even if they came out to look, they would not be able to see the monster; aside from being clear in Wen Wen's eyes, the monster had a very low presence in the eyes of ordinary people!

After waiting for a while, the monster finally broke free from the invisible barrier, its wings fluttering slightly as it landed awkwardly on the rooftop. Its snake-like lower half twisted eerily as it rapidly approached Wen Wen.

Its two human-like arms had fingers with half-foot-long claws, sharp like daggers and looking very threatening.

It was because of eye contact with Wen Wen that it had the chance to come to this world, and after being shot by Wen Wen, he was its first target.

Wen Wen leaned forward slightly, the palms of his hands gripping the watermelon knife were somewhat sweaty; this was his first time facing such a significant threat head-on.

He didn't show his face during the entire vampire capture, and Ghostly Qin Shuang could not threaten him, but now, this monster, with an unknown identity, was genuinely threatening his life!

Not waiting for the monster to rush at him, Wen Wen tapped his toes and sprang forward with such speed that ordinary people could only see an afterimage.

With just a glance at the monster's charge, Wen Wen could tell that it wasn't as fast as him!

Just like testing what he could do after gaining ghostly abilities, after obtaining the basic abilities of a female vampire, he also conducted a comprehensive test on himself.

All he lacked was actual combat experience.

Wen Wen's figure zipped past the monster, and the watermelon knife left a foot-long gash under its armpit. Green blood splattered out, sizzling as it hit the ground.

"I'm much faster than it; I can win!"

A twisted smile appeared on his lips, his eyes began to redden with blood, and Wen Wen was very excited. If the opponent wasn't a monster, others might think he was the villain by the look on his face.

"This is it, the thrill I've been seeking!"

Getting superpowers, capturing monsters, all of these gave Wen Wen a thrill that he had never experienced before, but none compared to the thrill of close combat with a monster!

The monster glanced at the wound with its eerie green eyes and stuck out its long tongue to lick the gash, which stopped bleeding immediately.

Then, it roared and pounced towards Wen Wen again, its sharp claws occasionally slicing the floor tiles.

"Can't tell who's stronger or weaker, huh? It's really just a wild beast without intelligence. Even if you can heal your wounds, as long as I chop a few more times..."

Wen Wen stood calmly in front of the monster, looking at the charging beast, even with a hint of anticipation. But suddenly, he felt that something was off with the weight in his hands.

"MMP, where's my knife?"

The watermelon knife that had sliced through the monster's skin was now reduced to just a handle!

This monster's blood is highly corrosive!

At that moment, as the monster charged right at Wen Wen, he had no choice but to leap high into the air and strike the monster's forehead with the knife handle.

Even without a weapon, Wen Wen's strength in vampire mode was still stronger than that of a top human boxer.

Then... Wen Wen was sent flying by a headbutt from the monster, crashing into the rooftop's railing and falling down.

"Ouch, my poor back."

Wen Wen stood up, clutching his back, feeling like he was about to fall apart. Despite the robust constitution of a vampire, falling from the height of a four-story building was not something to take lightly.

He glared at the monster hatefully and then turned into a mere afterimage, disappearing into the alleys.

Yes, Wen Wen was making a run for it. Without a weapon in hand, he didn't stand a chance against this guy.

The monster lost sight of Wen Wen and let out a low roar at the sky, then its chilling gaze began to sweep around, in search of new prey.

In that world, food wasn't so plentiful and fragile.

Due to the gunfire and the roars just now, the street was empty of pedestrians, but there would definitely be residents in the nearby buildings. It prowled around, looking for an easy target to strike.

Suddenly, the figures of a man and a woman appeared before it.

"Damn, my intuition was right. This newly emerged superpower user is trouble, bringing in a resident of the 'Inner World' so quickly."

The man in a cowboy hat and boots furrowed his brows, looking at the drooling monster with a headache.

"And it got away," the red-haired girl next to him, dressed in a light pink sweater and hot pants paired with white stockings, said with a shrug.

"This is a resident of the Inner World. It can't attack ordinary people without a period of Assimilation, but we can't just leave it be. Lin Lu, take it out!"

"Alright, Captain."

The girl hopped over to the monster's side, looking up at it with an expression of awe.

Without thinking, the monster swiped a claw at the girl. If it connected, even metal would be torn through.

But the girl simply bent her knees and with a light jump, she dodged the attack. Her speed might not seem as perverted as Wen Wen's, but in terms of agility, it certainly matched up.

"Captain, this seems to be a new species, should we send it to headquarters for research?" As if her legs were fitted with springs, the girl chatted with the man while effortlessly dodging the attacks.

"No need. This is a Feathered Serpent Monster, with highly corrosive blood and low intelligence. How many times have I told you to keep up with the data?" sighed the cowboy.

"Finish it off quickly, I need to find that new superpower user. Letting a superpower user who knows nothing wander freely is too dangerous."

"Yes, Captain!"

The girl saluted, then her slender legs suddenly thickened to nearly double their size, the muscles clearly outlined beneath the white stockings.

After her legs thickened, the girl's speed surged. She kicked the stomach of the Feathered Serpent Monster, making a sound like a hammer hitting a tire, sending the creature flying and bending a lamppost on the side of the road!

That kick was as powerful as a cannonball!
