My Healing Games

Chapter 706 Don't you think it's cute?
A monster resembling both fish and snake leaped out of the water, carrying countless water ghosts. The oppressive feeling it created in that instant was enough to terrify most people.

The lifeguard at the entrance of the stone house had already collapsed to the ground, and Guan Miao and Yan Le's mother were too shocked to speak by the water monster.

The murky water splashed onto the group, and by the time they realized what was happening and tried to warn Han Fei, the monster had already opened its massive maw toward the shrine.

A pungent, fishy stench filled his nostrils. Han Fei gripped his butcher's knife tightly, staring intently at the monster's mouth.

Hundreds of sharp teeth crisscrossed, with fragments of bone remaining on them, and black hair stuck between the teeth. Deep in the monster's throat, one could still vaguely see rings of teeth hidden in the flesh.

If you get bitten by a monster, it's no different from falling into a high-speed meat grinder.

"Could there be something so terrifying in this lake?"

Without time to hesitate, Han Fei stepped on the chains and moved toward the back of the shrine.

The monster's enormous maw seemed poised to swallow Han Fei whole, along with the shrine. On the roof of the stone house, Han Fei had absolutely no room to dodge.

"My cat is still absorbing the blood cocoon, I can't let him come and cause trouble."

Facing a monster several times his size, Han Fei quickly adjusted his state. A madness was hidden deep in his calm eyes. As the water monster bit into the shrine, a dazzling blade flashed in his hand!
"To be reborn!"

The light of humanity dispelled the despair that had accumulated in the stone house over the years. The darkness receded, and Han Fei saw the countless shocking scratches on the surrounding walls.

One by one, the orphans were used as sacrifices. They thought they had a reason to exist in the village, but they probably wouldn't realize until the very end that they were the least needed people, and that the villagers never treated them as human beings at all.

Ugliness and darkness had nowhere to hide under the Blade of Rebirth. Han Fei swung his blade with all his might, and the blade collided with the monster's mouth!
Black blood splattered all over the stone house, and the monster let out a shrill scream as it bit its wounded mouth hard into the shrine and chains.

"Oh!"

The suspended shrine was bitten to pieces, and several chains broke. Han Fei had to exert a lot of effort to maintain his balance.

Wood chips flew everywhere, chains rattled, and the monster's scarlet eyes stared intently at Han Fei before it fell back into the water.

The murky lake water splashed onto the wall, and Han Fei, clutching the few remaining chains, was still shaken.

The three-story stone house was so tall that the water monster could leap out of the water and bite the shrine at the very top!
Shifting his body, Han Fei looked toward the badly damaged shrine. The ugly cat, which was absorbing the power from the blood cocoon, had climbed to the top of the shrine. Its body had clearly changed; it no longer resembled a cat but rather an incredibly ugly and unfortunate human.

The ghostly markings spread across its entire body, its fur was torn apart, and its flesh and bones continued to expand, as if it were growing in comparison to Han Fei's body!
"Does this cat want to transform into my likeness?"

Han Fei had heard some strange tales before. It was said that if a cat or dog in a household was kept for a long time, it would imitate various human behaviors, such as standing and walking, hiding behind the door to watch people, and eating like a human. Some of them would try to kill their owners, while others would become auspicious beasts that guarded the house and scared away evil spirits.

"My pets love seeing me half-dead, but they probably wouldn't even think of killing me, right?"

The ugly cat's mutation continued, and Han Fei dared not be distracted; the current situation was not good for him.

The chains securing the shrine were broken, the wooden ladder leading down was damaged, and the smooth, moss-covered walls of the stone house made it impossible to climb. It seemed that Han Fei's only option to return to the ground was to jump into the water.

But if you jump into the pool on your own, what's the difference between that and feeding a water monster?
Han Fei can only wait and see, hoping the ugly cat's mutation will end.

The people at the entrance of the stone house were also extremely nervous. The situation had reached its most critical moment. Although Han Fei had slashed the water monster, with its powerful vitality, that slash was not enough to kill it.

Everyone stared at the murky water, and Han Fei held his breath, his muscles tense.

Tiny bubbles slowly appeared on the surface of the pool, which was filled with various debris. A blood flower slowly bloomed in the mud and sand. Then the surface of the water burst open again, and the giant monster leaped out at an even faster speed than before, biting Han Fei!
With the shrine destroyed, Han Fei had no room to dodge. He carried the mutated body of the ugly cat on his back, stepped on the remaining chains, and slashed at the monster's scarlet eyes!
A dazzling flash of light appeared, and a deep bloodstain appeared on the monster's head; one of its eyes had been shattered by Han Fei.

The pain drove the monster mad. Its gaping maw seized the remaining shrine and chains, and as its body fell back into the water, it also ripped the chains off the stone roof.

The rusty iron chains rubbed against the wall. Han Fei's legs were wrapped around the chains, and he held the handle of the Rebirth Blade in his mouth. He held the dangling chains with one hand and hugged the mutated ugly cat with the other.

"Han Fei!" The people at the door looked even more nervous than Han Fei. The roof of the stone house was completely destroyed, the shrine had fallen, and only the end of a chain was still embedded in the wall.

Han Fei's body swayed above the pool with the iron chains, and he could fall into the pool at any moment.

"How much longer do you need?" Han Fei turned to look at the ugly cat. Its size was still increasing, and the chain could not support the weight of the two of them.

The connection between the end of the chain and the stone house had loosened, and the monster in the pool was about to leap out of the water again. Han Fei's brain was working at full speed, thinking of a solution.

The walls were too slippery to climb, and his only chance was to shake the chains and try to jump towards the entrance of the stone house.

"We can't wait any longer!" Han Fei tied the mutated ugly cat to himself with the cursed red rope. Just as he was about to try to jump towards the entrance, the entire stone house suddenly began to shake. Something underwater was destroying the foundation of the stone house.

More and more blood appeared on the murky water, and the floating shrine base was suddenly knocked open by a force, and the entire water surface seemed to rise!
The monster with a mouthful of sharp teeth leaped out for the third time, its scales covered in human faces howling. This time, Han Fei had no way to avoid it.

"bring it on!"

Han Fei's pupils shrank, and he kicked the wall hard, releasing his grip on the chains the moment the monster bit him.

Staying there would be like being bait; to survive, we would have to take a gamble!
With his free hand gripping the Rebirth Slaughtering Blade, Han Fei fell downwards as the monster leaped upwards. He barely managed to maintain his direction and narrowly missed the monster.

The sharp blade slashed into the water monster's body. Han Fei's bloodshot eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness and determination as he used all his strength to carve a long wound on the side of the water monster.

Disembowell him!
The scales that imprisoned the human face flew everywhere, and foul-smelling black blood splattered all over its body. Han Fei used these few seconds to frantically slash and damage the monster's fragile organs.

The monster known as the Lake God had devoured countless orphans, but it never imagined that someone could so easily break through its scales and inflict such great damage upon it.

Enraged, the monster let out a piercing roar, and its massive body slammed Han Fei back into the pool!
Han Fei knew that the water was the monster's territory. When he touched the water, he immediately prepared to escape in the direction of the entrance he remembered. However, the monster was extremely clever. It blocked the water with its body. Even more terrifying was that countless water ghosts were converging on Han Fei.

Clumps of black hair swayed like seaweed at the bottom of the lake, and deep beneath the water lay countless statues of lake gods, each representing a sacrifice from which there was no return, a young life.

The murky lake water rushed into his ears. Han Fei struggled to open his eyes and seized the opportunity to escape, but the mutated ugly cat on his back was entangled by the monster's snake tail.

The red rope binding Han Fei to the ugly cat was instantly tightened, as the water monster tried to drag it into the deep lake.

Grasping the Rebirth Slaughtering Knife, Han Fei did not cut the red rope to escape alone, but instead forcefully chopped at the water monster's tail.

"Xu Qin!"

The curse crawled all over his body, and none of the water ghosts dared to approach, but the monster was unaffected, dragging the mutated ugly cat and Han Fei down with it!
The water pressure gradually became unbearable, and Han Fei felt excruciating pain all over his body. Swollen and pale ghost faces surrounded him. He had very little oxygen left in his lungs, and his body was getting further and further away from the water.

Every inch of his skin was enveloped in cold darkness. As Han Fei drew closer to death, the ghostly markings on the ugly cat's body erupted with an intense deathly aura. Those black ghostly markings, like tentacles, burrowed out of the ugly cat's body, carrying its flesh and bones towards Han Fei.

The lake god cried out again, and the hesitant water ghosts, forced into a corner, were determined to stop Han Fei, even at the cost of their souls being scattered.

One after another, swollen and pale human faces bit into Han Fei's body. Soul poison and curses were injected into both of their bodies. Han Fei's life force grew weaker and weaker, while the death aura emanating from the black ghost patterns grew stronger and stronger.

When both reached their peak, the nine ghostly runes completely tore apart the ugly cat's body, turning into black and red ghostly runes that were branded onto Han Fei's skin.

With the fusion of flesh and blood, Han Fei's physical attributes improved several levels, and most importantly, something trapped within the ghost pattern finally regained its freedom.

The nearly five-meter-long black shadow, like a hungry school of piranhas, suddenly embraced the "Lake God".

"What a terrible thing!"

The inhuman body that the dream had prepared for him was completely shrouded in death, calamity, misfortune, and despair. The monster struggled desperately, using its last strength to try to bury Han Fei at the bottom of the lake.

Undercurrents were swirling, and the two sides entered a final stalemate.

Han Fei was almost suffocating. He kept swinging his sword at the water monster. At this critical moment, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

The blade, composed of human nature, slashed at the water monster. Every place that had been slashed by the Rebirth Blade seemed to be purified. The remnants of orphans crawled out from the scales and flesh of the "Lake God." In a daze, they actually moved towards the blade of the Rebirth Blade.

Having become a D-grade exclusive executioner's blade, Wang Sheng seems to possess more than just sharpness; this executioner's blade also appears to be able to awaken the resentment of those who were brutally murdered.

Scales flew everywhere, organs shattered, and the remnants of the orphaned souls sacrificed became the last straw that broke the camel's back. It could no longer resist the great evil and was completely devoured by it.

Only the Rebirth Blade emitted a dazzling light from the deep lake bottom, and pairs of eyes were watching from all sides, whether they were schools of fish or something else, it was hard to tell.

At this moment, Han Fei had no time to care about those things. He used his last bit of strength to swim towards the surface of the water.

"It's all your fault! We were trying to help you, but you used us as sacrifices!" The lifeguard grabbed Guan Miao by the collar and slammed him against the wall outside the stone house. "I'll kill you!"

"Kill them. I'll do anything to appease the lake god's wrath and lift the curse." Guan Miao looked at his ugly body: "I've long since given up on living. I just hope my grandchildren can live normal lives."

"Han Fei saved countless people in the city, and everyone is counting on him to lead us out!" The lifeguard said, preparing to throw Guan Miao into the pool as well, but just then, ripples appeared on the murky water.

The three people outside the stone house were so frightened that they backed away, until Yan Le's mother sensed the aura of the curse: "It's not a monster! It's Han Fei who came up!"

An arm reached out from the water and embraced the floating fragments of the shrine. Han Fei, pale-faced, gasped for breath of fresh air.

When they saw Han Fei emerge from the water, the three people at the door were all stunned. They never imagined that Han Fei could come back alive after being dragged into the water by such a monster.

The lifeguard reacted the fastest; perhaps it was his professional instincts kicking in, but he didn't hesitate much and jumped into the pool immediately, grabbing the floating shrine fragments and pulling Han Fei towards the shore.

"You're still alive? What about the Lake God?" Guan Miao collapsed to the ground, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"Lake God? If you want to see it, I can send you to join it." Han Fei had regained some strength. After getting ashore, he lay down on the ground. "The dream sacrificed almost all the able-bodied men in your nearby villages. That mutated blood cocoon is unique, one in a million. It is stained with your vitality, bloodline, and devout prayers. For the sake of that blood cocoon, I will spare your lives."

Without that blood cocoon, the Great Evil would not have been able to leave the ghost pattern. After swallowing the blood cocoon, it seemed to have broken free from the constraints of the Fu Sheng Shrine.

"You killed the Lake God?" Guan Miao's voice trembled.

"I have only brought you a new god." As soon as Han Fei finished speaking, a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the calm water. Amidst the heavy smell of blood, the Great Evil that had devoured the "Lake God" and countless water ghosts appeared before them.

Its body is gradually becoming more like a human, but although it roughly has the shape of a human, it is still incredibly ugly overall, many times more terrifying and horrifying than the previous "Lake God".

Upon seeing the monster appear, the fastest-reacting lifeguard grabbed Han Fei by the legs and prepared to run outside. Yan Le's mother was also so shocked that she couldn't speak; she had never seen anything so terrifying in the park.

Seeing its master being dragged away, the ferocious monster smashed through the stone house and followed behind with great interest. It really loved this morbid, crazy, and death-filled world.

Why does it keep chasing us?

"Let go! That's my pet." Han Fei's head almost hit a stone on the ground.

"pet?"

"Don't you think it looks cute when it smiles?" Han Fei stopped the lifeguard who was still running wildly: "It just wants to get close to me."
