Self-harming to Escape

Blood splattered everywhere!

Lin Changqing dodged nimbly.

Leader Lu, whose neck had been cut in half, completely woke up at this moment. His eyes widened in disbelief, and his lips opened and closed as if he wanted to say something. However, because he had lost too much blood, he lost his life before he could say a word.

Lin Changqing stood beside Leader Lu, who had fallen to the ground. He stared at Leader Lu's eyes that were completely devoid of life.

This was the first time Lin Changqing had personally killed someone. This Leader Lu was the enemy of his predecessor, and this time, he wanted to kill him. Therefore, when he slashed down, he did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, he felt a little happy.

Now that one of the gang leaders had died here, this was not a small matter. Lin Changqing had to consider how to escape.

This was the depths of the desolate ruins. There were ruins of buildings and all kinds of terrifying vines, thorns, weeds, and trees everywhere.

Lin Changqing's powerful perception could sense that ever since he entered this area, there was an ominous aura around him that was indescribable.

Under the cover of the buildings and various plants, there were many unknown creatures hidden. These unknown creatures were the main source of danger in this area. In addition, those plants that seemed to have mutated hid better, but Lin Changqing knew that some of them were not easy to deal with.

Fortunately, these things seemed to be restricted during the day and could not come out.

"There's actually such a place in a county! It's really unbelievable! I wonder what's the secret behind this?" Through the memories of his predecessor, Lin Changqing learned that the officials of this world were very powerful. As long as they were mobilized, they could suppress everything.

There must be a reason for them to leave this place alone and not deal with it. The danger was self-evident. However, he had no choice now. He had to face it bravely. He could not run away.

Lin Changqing carefully walked to the thorny ground beside him and used the short knife in his hand that was only stained with a trace of blood to slash at a thick vine. Green juice splattered, and the injured vine was pulled back with a whoosh and disappeared among the many vines.

"It's really alive!" Lin Changqing accurately slashed at the strange vines that seemed to be alive according to his perception and Little Tiger's warning. The vines retreated, revealing a pitch-black door.

"Woof…!" Little Tiger, who was beside Lin Changqing, lowered his body and entered an attack state.

Lin Changqing also sensed the huge threat lurking behind the pitch-black door.

Lin Changqing took such a risk because he was betting that the dangers here would only appear at night. The information he obtained from the gang manager, Leader Lu, and many of the gang members indicated that the dangers here during the day were not high.

Lin Changqing didn't dare to move forward. He could sense that the unknown creature in the darkness was restless. He could only use hearsay as a reference. There was no need to take the risk.

He returned to the corpse of Leader Lu and did not touch anything. He avoided the gradually congealing blood and moved the corpse of Leader Lu to the pitch-black entrance of the door, throwing it in with all his might.

Bang!

Crack! Crack!

Sssssss!

The corpse fell to the ground, and a huge commotion came from inside, making all kinds of strange sounds.

Lin Changqing instantly retreated and waited quietly in the distance. Only when there was no more sound coming from the pitch-black door did he deal with the traces at the scene. Since it had already happened, it was impossible to deal with it flawlessly. He could only try his best to eliminate the suspicion that he had killed Leader Lu.

He could only leave the rest to the heavens. With his current strength, he could not resist anyone and had nowhere to escape. In the eyes of his predecessor, this world was filled with danger.

He could only seek a chance of survival in the midst of danger.

After cleaning up the traces at the scene, Lin Changqing walked to a collapsed brick wall at the side. He sensed a dark hole under the brick wall, and an unknown creature was hidden inside. He had received a palm strike from Leader Lu. Under the restoration of his powerful vitality, he was already fine.

Little Tiger's combat strength was not weak. He did not suffer much damage from that kick. The leader was dead, and he and his pet were unharmed. It didn't make sense.

Lin Changqing held Little Bamboo in his left hand and a short knife in his right. He cut off the thickest vine wrapped around the brick wall. These thorny vines were different from the previous ones. The long vines quickly withered, leaving only a small section of it that was still squirming on the ground.

Lin Changqing sensed a strange vitality from this small piece of thorny vine. He kicked this small piece of vine into the middle of the road. The thorny vines disappeared, revealing a hole in the collapsed brick wall.

Lin Changqing used the [Bamboo Staff] in his hand to pick at the broken bricks around the opening. He wanted to forcefully open this dark hole that was relatively less dangerous. As the hole grew bigger and bigger, the dark hole that was not big to begin with was gradually exposed.

A faint layer of dark red mist pervaded the air, giving off an ominous feeling. Rays of light shot in, and a pitch-black wild cat-like creature appeared.

On the cat's face that looked like a distorted human face, there was a pair of completely black eyes. It had an unusually strong and twisted body and pitch-black sharp fangs and claws.

This was a terrifying mutated creature that was completely born for the night. The humanoid cat's face was facing Lin Changqing, and its pitch-black eyes emitted an incomparably ferocious light. It seemed to be very afraid of the light, but in this situation where it could not retreat, it still jumped up and pounced at Lin Changqing, who was raising the [Bamboo Staff] on guard.

The mutated creature was very fast.

Little Tiger beside Lin Changqing bravely rushed up and fought with the terrifying mutated creature that was much smaller than it. The two ferocious creatures that were not ordinary creatures bit into each other at an extremely fast speed.

The mutated creature was stronger than the pet spirit dog, Little Tiger, but due to the daytime environment, its strength was limited.

In just a few breaths, Little Tiger was already covered in wounds. The mutated creature had also been bitten by Little Tiger a few times. It was seriously injured and its movements became slower.

"Little Tiger, stand down! Keep a lookout!" Lin Changqing suddenly ordered the spirit dog, Little Tiger, to withdraw from the battle. He threw his pet [Bamboo Staff] aside and slashed at the mutated creature with his short knife.

Little Tiger retreated from the battle and stared at the mutated creature to prevent it from escaping. Facing the opponent that had suddenly changed, the mutated creature used its agility and swiped its claws, scratching Lin Changqing's arm.

Lin Changqing took the initiative to control the powerful life force in his body to suppress the recovery of his injuries. Under the vigilance of his two pets, he focused all his attention and used all his skills to fight the mutated creature alone.

He struck out with his saber again and again, getting injured again and again.

He had finally made a fatal slash!

The mutated creature was cut open by him and fell to the ground. A dark red aura that could be seen with the naked eye overflowed from the mutated creature's body. The mutated creature quickly withered and returned to the appearance of an ordinary wild cat.

"What a waste of common sense!" Lin Changqing was covered in blood and there were many scratches and bite wounds on his body. "Little Tiger, bring people here!"
