American variety show world begins with subduing Jason

The Owl Bear, on the other hand, is a fusion magical creature created by ancient wizards using forbidden alchemy. It may seem similar to other creatures born from the myriad phenomena of nature, but its essence is completely different.

Even legendary druids who can transform into dragons and phoenixes cannot achieve such freedom of transformation!

"The source of your bloodline might be quite remarkable... Decomposing it could definitely be used to create an excellent mechanism!"

A surge of greed rose in the strange man's heart. He crossed his arms and struck, causing the flesh around his wrists to bloom like flower petals. A cluster of green, gleaming steel spikes shot out like bullets, carrying an evil magical power that surged upstream against the continuous sonic waves. They pierced through the brownish-brown, translucent bark armor, tore through the snow-white feathers that were as thick as iron, and burrowed into the owl-bear's flesh.

"Goo!"

The excruciating pain, followed by a strong tingling and itching sensation, made Beverly sway suddenly. Knowing that the situation was bad, she nimbly shrank back and jumped to the side. With a powerful lean and all four claws moving at the same time, she grabbed a short, thick pine tree in the yard. As dirt flew, she pulled it out and threw it at her face with a whooshing sound!

Dozens of saw blades and chisels protruded from the strange man's body, wildly waving and filling the air with the fragrance of pine resin. White wood shavings mixed with dark green needle-like leaves scattered like rain.

The five- or six-meter-long tree trunk instantly crumbled, and countless grotesque killing traps stretched forward, landing on the four-legged black shadow hiding behind it.

—Stained blood splattered!

"Humph!"

The mechanical monster casually tossed aside the corpse of his beloved dog, which had been substituted into his own hands, without any sense of heartache or regret. He stared at the red-haired figure fleeing in panic in the distance, a neurotic grin appearing beneath his tattered black leather mask.

"Good... excellent. It managed to escape even after being poisoned by the [Kiss of the Spider], truly excellent prey. Simply killing it would be such a waste. With such a sturdy physique, it's definitely far superior to those useless toys, able to withstand my intense 'love'..."

Thinking of the pitiful mother and daughter in the basement who had been slashed bloody by his own witchcraft parts during their close 'interaction,' he felt the cold lubricant inside him boil over.

My choice was indeed the right one. How could I, as a human being, enjoy such unrestrained pleasure?

……

……

"Where...is this...?"

Beverly stumbled along the narrow forest path, a spiderweb-like blackness rising in her large, clear blue eyes. Her usually sharp senses seemed to be covered by a thick velvet, dulling them to an alarming degree. The solid cement path beneath her feet seemed to gradually turn into a soft cotton ball or sticky mud, making her stumble and fall as if she were adrift in a fog.

She bit her tongue hard, the stinging sensation temporarily dispelling some of the dizziness in her head, barely clearing her mind. She squeezed out some of the remaining natural energy and added another [Neutralize Toxin] to her body.

She had tried several times along the way, but she was still unable to get rid of the strange and deadly poison that was like a maggot clinging to her bones; at most, she could only provide slight relief.

My unfocused pupils refocused, and what came into view were two rows of slightly worn benches, with a dim street lamp hanging alone above them.

"Oh no, how did we end up in the neighborhood park? We have to get out of here right now!"

Feeling a sinister aura looming over her, Beverly dared not linger. Her spellcasting power was almost completely depleted, and if the enemy caught up, she would be powerless to fight back.

Even though she has a simple and straightforward personality, that doesn't mean she's a fool.

If you were being chased, running into a bustling nighttime commercial district might make that perverted monster wary, but in this remote place, you could be dismembered without anyone knowing.

She quickly determined her direction, spotted the hotel buildings flashing neon lights in the distance, and, with her increasingly heavy and numb legs, stumbled and moved towards them.

"Hey guys, come here! Am I seeing things? A little girl?"

A figure in a cheap black raincoat emerged from the roadside. In the darkness, the raincoat blended seamlessly with his skin tone, creating a remarkably harmonious effect. It was only when the Druid's senses, clouded by the extraordinary toxins, approached him that she finally noticed his presence.

Upon hearing the words of their fellow tribesmen, two men with dreadlocks and gold-plated chains excitedly darted out of the woods, haphazardly stuffing packets of small pills into their pockets.

"Wow! It's almost 11 o'clock. There are actually girls who dare to come here now." The leading man raised his ebony-like hand, pretended to check the time, and shouted exaggeratedly.

"Beautiful lady, you're out alone on this cold, rainy night. Do you need some 'warm' help from us?"

"Pah, scum!" The red-haired girl spat in disgust, about to casually dismiss the few bastards in front of her.

With her fingers bent and nails extended, slicing through the air, just as she was about to strike their faces, Beverly suddenly swayed to the side and lunged diagonally, tumbling awkwardly into the bushes.

She glanced at the three thugs, their lecherous smiles still lingering on their faces. Hundreds of blood streaks slowly seeped out, and her entire body seemed to disintegrate like a disassembled Lego brick, instantly crumbling into a pile of real "scum"!

As the strange humanoid figure emerged, extending various metal tools, the druid girl's heart felt as if it had suddenly fallen into icy water, chilling her to the bone!

Chapter 264 Traps, Mechanisms, and Perverted Monsters 4

"Don't be afraid... little kitty, I've changed my mind. I'll spare your life. If you behave 'well' enough, I might even introduce you to our team... We happen to be short one Beast Tamer..."

The mechanical monster grinned arrogantly, as if echoing his words, and various tools twisted and waved like the tentacles of some cephalopod, looking both disgusting and terrifying.

"Get out..." Even without understanding the specific meaning, Beverly could sense the strong malice.

Being in dire straits only fueled the wild ferocity within the girl's bones. She took out the few remaining plant seeds, activated them, and scattered them. At the same time, she kicked off with her long legs, her lithe body like an arrow, her ten fingers like hooks, and she pounced on the enemy with all her might!

Even if it means dying in battle, we will never surrender!

"Oh, be gentle, don't hurt yourself."

Two long, silver, spring-loaded blades flashed with cold light. With a light sweep, they knocked away several large, meteor-hammer-like burrs. The strange man's chest slid open to the left and right, and a row of eerie green poison needles mixed with a large steel wire net shot out, clearly intending to capture him alive.

"Thum! Thug! Thumb!"

Deliberately avoiding her head and face, dozens of tiny green rays struck the girl's chest, abdomen, waist, and legs, before a large net was cast down, trapping her tightly.

"Huh?" The mechanical monster's eyelids rolled back suddenly. This sound... why does it sound like something being driven into wood?

Before his thoughts had even fully formed, a pair of wheat-colored hands, crackling with blue lightning, suddenly shot out from the shadows behind him. They circled around and, ignoring the blood dripping from the jumbled metal parts, plunged viciously into his open chest!

"Zi la——!"

A series of explosive sounds, like an electrical short circuit, rang out, accompanied by billowing black smoke. A burnt smell filled the air, and the strange man's body convulsed violently, as if he were having an epileptic seizure.

He roared furiously, and his shoulder blades suddenly protruded, transforming into two large, angular iron hammers. He struck the red-haired girl behind him, causing her to spit out blood and fly backward.

"I want you to know... what happens when you refuse someone's kindness!"

Despite uttering those harsh words, the mechanical monster stood there catching his breath for a while before recovering from the damage inflicted by the lightning claws. Even though there was a significant difference in strength between the two sides, the druid girl's desperate attack that blasted into his body still caused him considerable discomfort.

The electric current, imbued with the power of nature, pierced his core, making it a highly targeted and effective attack against this dark monster who had abandoned his human body and was covered in metal.

Seeing the phantom revert to its tattered wooden armor within the wire mesh, Beverly didn't have time to feel sorry for her equipment. Leaning against the roadside stone, she forced down a mouthful of blood, her small, trembling hands, raw and bleeding, and clinging to her last glimmer of hope, rummaged through her empty pouch, trying to find even a tiny bit of spellcasting material.

The enemy was moving his stiff limbs, and it seemed he was about to return to normal, which made the girl extremely anxious.

Just as she was about to give up the search, a cool breeze suddenly seeped into her injured finger, soothing the sharp pain.

Feeling her physical damage being rapidly repaired, and even the lingering, strange toxins beginning to fade, Beverly opened her palms in a mixture of surprise and delight.

A crystal-clear, bluish-green jade ring was clearly visible!

……

……

A piece of orange-yellow fruit peel floated up, tracing an arc, and landed in the trash can.

"Hmm... these navel oranges are supposedly air-freighted from Washington, but they're not as good as the ones from the Texas Police Department the other day. I should have asked them for more..."

Inside the luxury suite, Zhu Mingyao sprawled on the sofa as if he had no bones, using a soft, fluffy cotton cushion as a pillow, and casually flipping through TV channels.

The drizzle outside the window dampened any possibility of him going out to explore the shops. He didn't care about the weather, but the stalls and shops on the street had already closed early under these circumstances.

Even if he possessed great magical powers, there was no reason for him to force the boss to open the door.

Since he couldn't continue shopping and playing around, and didn't want to go to nightclubs or other places of entertainment, Zhu Mingyao was left with only one option: to stay in the hotel and kill time.

After watching a soap opera for a while with his chin in his hand, he got up out of boredom, strolled onto the balcony, opened a crack in the window, smelled the damp and cool air, stretched lazily, pulled over a cushion, closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began his routine of circulating qi and visualizing.

Although the system is there to help, if I work hard, I can at least reduce the number of points I need for the next upgrade.

As night falls, the colorful neon lights envelop the bustling hotel complex, while the more remote neighborhoods quietly fade into darkness.

—After all, it's a city with a significant African American population, so the security situation is really not good. Even with the authorities cracking down hard to boost tourism, few people dare to wander around in quiet places late at night.

Five colors swirled within Zhu Mingyao's chest and abdomen, absorbing the subtle spiritual energy of the surrounding space, gradually reaching a state of profound stillness and emptiness.

With the blessing of the talent [Harmony of the Five Elements], the rain, which was neither near nor far, seemed to become an extension of his senses, and the range of his spiritual perception suddenly expanded several times.

"Hmm, those three human-shaped figures on the tenth-floor balcony of the restaurant next door look really strange, eh..."

That's incredibly creative of them to come up with such a position! How long has it been since I've been on Pixiv? Are sandwiches and such outdated already?

A few black men were trading pills in the alley behind the store. They were actually employees of this store! Humph, I'll report them later! I'll have Madison investigate the employees of her family's businesses…”

Just as he was enjoying the voyeuristic thrill brought by the scaled-down version of the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing supernatural power, a familiar aura appeared in the distance and suddenly rushed into the sensing range.

[Wood's Growth and Vitality]?

Are there fellow disciples of Shangqing Maoshan in New Orleans...?

He opened his eyes in surprise and frowned as he looked in a certain direction.

No! Halfway through his thought, Zhu Mingyao came to his senses. Apart from the enchanted equipment he had just given away at dinner, what other possibility was there?

Sensing the faint information transmitted through the misty rain, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. With a flick of his arms, he seemed like a falcon, gliding lightly out of the window and into the vast rain curtain.

……

……

As the emerald light swirled, the muscles in Beverly's arm twitched a few times, but ultimately, she had no choice but to stop changing.

The girl glanced at the jade ring in her palm, its luster now faded, her face full of regret. This miraculous healing spell was indeed powerful, capable of rapidly repairing the body, but the depleted source of magical power could not be replenished in a short time.

A whooshing sound suddenly came from behind her. She used the sound to pinpoint the location, moved swiftly, and nimbly darted into the park's small square, dodging a cloud of putrid acid.

"Whoosh!"

Several steel circular saws spun rapidly, grazing Beverly's temples, giving a row of old holly bushes a shave, and then embedding themselves deeply into a half-length marble sculpture.

With a powerful push, she turned and leaped, like a top gymnast, performing an aerial spin and jumping more than three meters high, avoiding a barrage of sharp steel spikes.

While suspended in mid-air, several streaks of cold light suddenly came into view. Dozens of sharp steel wires in front of her had somehow woven into a web, like a cunning spider, quietly waiting for the girl to run into it.

"It happened!"

With her magic power exhausted and all her equipment destroyed, Beverly, wearing only her undergarments, could only barely protect her head and face by huddling together, praying that she wouldn't be cut to pieces on the spot!

Chapter 265: More than one?

"Bang! Ouch!"

The expected excruciating pain of being slowly sliced ​​apart did not come. Instead, her little bottom made intimate contact with the scattered pebbles on the ground. If it weren't for the fact that the physical strength of an extraordinary person far surpasses that of an ordinary person, she would probably have ended up with blood on her anus.

Completely bewildered, the druid sprang to her feet and stared wide-eyed in surprise at the figure standing on a pile of broken steel wires.

Why didn't you catch me?

Upon hearing the first words from the straight-haired, red-haired girl, which were not an explanation of why she had ended up in such a predicament, but rather a question, Zhu Mingyao chuckled and tapped her chest in acknowledgment.
