Chapter 124 The Girl

Inside the lush, dense forest.

Deep in a swamp, bubbles surged up from the mud, blooming into murky splashes on the water's surface.

Hu Long's figure silently disappeared into the water, remaining completely still.

His eyes were tightly closed, and his seven orifices were shut, like a stubborn rock sunk into a swamp.

time flies.

Several hours passed.

As dawn broke.

When everything returns to normal.

puff!

The swamp exploded.

Hu Long emerged from within, the mud on his body instantly shaken off by an invisible force, leaving him clean and refreshed.

He had now relinquished his "celestial form" and his appearance had returned to its original state.

He only had a few tattered pieces of cloth still hanging on his body.

The mirage surged and transformed into a brand new garment on my body.

However, Hu Long's face had become much paler.

Clearly, entering this state of perfect harmony does not come without any consumption or damage to the body.

"That's pretty bad!"

Hu Long muttered to himself.

At this moment, he was in a much more depressed state.

From a third-person perspective, the internal condition of the body is a complete mess.

Fine cracks appeared on the golden bones, blood vessels twisted and misaligned, and the internal organs also suffered varying degrees of damage and displacement.

This was after several hours of recuperation.

Even so, any such injury would leave an ordinary person, even if they survived, essentially paralyzed and bedridden, like a vegetable.

But for Hu Long, it was just a little troublesome.

Given his physical strength, he should be able to fully recover in a maximum of half a month with just some rest.

Thinking of this, he looked down at the jet-black rabbit face mask in his hand.

Aside from the source value and the downloaded secret weapon, the only physical item I acquired on this trip was this mask.

As for those secret manuals, books, and elixirs, they were all reduced to fragments in the first round of bombardment.

Besides being exceptionally hard, this rabbit-face mask also exhibited other abilities.

More precisely, it was one minute after Hu Long activated his "Celestial State".

A peculiar rhythm emanated from the mask, enveloping the entire body.

This not only made him faster, but also significantly reduced the consumption of "Celestial State".

What used to be a state that could only be maintained for five minutes can now last for ten minutes, a full doubling in duration.

This was also the main reason why he was able to escape from that bald monk.

What's even more peculiar is that the mask can adjust in sync with his body shape, always perfectly covering his face.

"interesting----"

Hu Long examined the mask in his hand; it felt light to the touch, with a slightly frosted, cold texture.

Apart from that, there was nothing unusual, and even when using a third-person perspective, no clues could be detected.

But having experienced the previous battle, he knew perfectly well that this thing was by no means simple.

Unable to figure it out, he stopped dwelling on it and put the mask away.

His face then became blurry and distorted, transforming into another appearance, and he turned and walked away.

However, he did not return to the Hu family.

Instead, they headed towards the Fang family's home.

Meanwhile, at a research institute on the outskirts of Yangang City.

Boom!

With a loud bang, intense flames and thick smoke rose into the air, and alarms immediately blared throughout the entire building.

A large number of armed guards rushed to the scene upon hearing the commotion.

"Cough cough—Quick, put out the fire!"

A young man in a white coat ran out of the corridor, shouting as he ran.

Upon hearing this, the guards didn't hesitate and immediately grabbed the fire hoses nearby to put out the fire.

The young man then quietly left the scene amidst the chaos.

As time went by, the fire gradually weakened, but it was not completely extinguished.

Just then, a figure rushed into the fire.

Within minutes, several people were rescued.

These people are all core researchers at the institute, and the elderly man being protected in the middle is a highly respected academician.

"Tell me, what happened here? Where is that thing?"

The rescuer was a tall man who looked at the old man and asked in a deep voice.

"It's—Wang Feng! That guy's gone mad! He detonated the lab and stole the egg!"

The old man managed to finish saying those words before his head lolled to the side and he fainted.

"Dare to touch anything belonging to the Hu family?!"

Upon hearing this, the man's expression changed drastically.

His name is Hu Qing, a member of the Hu family, and his strength has reached the Skin Polishing Realm.

We're stationed here precisely to keep an eye on that thing's progress.

That was something the clan chief had personally instructed me to do.

But now, this kind of thing has happened in the time it takes to eat a meal.

"Find him even if you have to dig three feet into the ground! I'll skin him alive! And arrest Wang Feng's entire family, let's see where he can run to!"

Thinking of the consequences of messing things up, Hu Qing's face darkened, and he almost roared through gritted teeth.

"Um, Wang Feng—he seems to be an orphan."

At this moment, a female researcher spoke timidly in a low voice.

"#!"

Hu Qing's face darkened.

Fortunately, Yantai is Hu's territory.

In less than ten minutes, Wang Feng's location was pinpointed.

The sky was overcast, and a light drizzle fell from the sky like mist, whipped by the cold wind and hitting our faces, adding to the chill.

Inside an alleyway.

A man in a coat, holding an umbrella, hurried forward.

As he walked, his eyes would frequently scan his surroundings, vigilantly observing any activity around him.

He subconsciously touched the oval-shaped, warm object in his arms.

"Can you really help me become someone important?"

Talking to himself.

A look of panic and confusion appeared on his face.

Even he himself couldn't explain what was wrong with him.

He was just testing the data of the fossil egg in the laboratory when he heard a voice that called him master and said that he could become a superior person with inexhaustible wealth and power.

Perhaps there's something wrong with my brain, or perhaps I just don't want to live a life where I can see the end from the beginning.

Because of this promise, he gave up his stable, high-paying job, blew up the lab, stole the item, and fled in a panic.

At that moment, he didn't even know where to go.

He had heard that the power behind that research institute was extremely terrifying.

Once his actions are exposed, the consequences for him will be unimaginable.

"Don't worry, Master, I'll be hatching soon."

"With my abilities, you can do whatever you want."

A pleasant female voice echoed in his mind.

The voice seemed to possess some kind of special magic.

After hearing this, Wang Feng...

The initial panic in my heart subsided somewhat.

boom!boom!

Just then, two gunshots suddenly rang out.

next moment.

Blood burst from Wang Feng's knees, and before he could even react, he was forced to kneel on the ground.

Then.

A series of rapid footsteps sounded from ahead.

A dozen or so fully armed men, each carrying a gun, approached from the alley entrance.

"Wang Feng, you're under arrest! Put your hands on your head, squat down, and hand over that thing, or you'll be shot on the spot!"

Hu Qing stood at the very front, his expression icy.

—Gurgle!

Pointing at me with the dark muzzle of a gun.

The intense pain emanating from his legs caused Wang's face to turn red and his body to convulse.

My mind went completely blank.

All that remained was terror and the fear of death.

"Don't kill me—I'll surrender—"

Click!

Before the words were finished, the sound of the eggshell cracking suddenly rang out.

A seven-colored light emerged from his arms, instantly enveloping Wang Feng's body.

"shooting!"

Hu Qing's expression changed, and he suddenly waved his hand.

Without the slightest hesitation, the people behind him pulled the trigger instantly.

—Bang bang bang!

The bullet shot out, but the next second...

The moment all the bullets struck the ball of light, they were all bounced back!

The muffled thuds of bullets piercing flesh echoed one after another.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp, almost tangible cry suddenly rang out!

--puff!

In an instant, those fully armed soldiers bled from all seven orifices and died on the spot.

Even Hu Qing, who had reached the level of skin smoothing, felt a momentary dizziness.

But his instincts as a martial artist quickly brought him back to his senses.

Just as they were about to make a move.

puff!

A sudden pain shot through my chest.

Hu Qing coughed up blood, staring intently at the red figure that had suddenly appeared before him.

She has a sweet appearance.

But her hand actually pierced his chest.

That skin, which was strong enough to withstand sword and blade strikes, was now useless.

With a soft "plop," the girl pulled out her arm and ripped out the still-beating heart.

"No matter who you are—the clan will—avenge me—I'll be waiting for you—"

Hu Qing's pupils dilated, his gaze gradually turned lifeless, and his body fell straight to the ground.
