I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Chapter 177-176: The Giant Leader! Captain Xu lives up to his name! Deterioration (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe)

With his brush in hand, Xu Lindong's perception range was greatly enhanced, and he instantly captured an amazing scene deep in the mountains.

But then they saw dense mountain forests.

A gray-haired giant, far larger than its kind and over four meters tall, crashed through the trees and leaped out!

Its body is covered with long, grayish-brown hairs like steel needles, and its skin is as rough as old tree bark, yet faint, flickering patterns of light appear between the hairs, as if extraordinary energy flows and shimmers beneath its skin.

Its body, with muscles bulging between its fur, looked as if it had been carved from rock. With each breath, its chest heaved violently, exhaling hot air that smelled of blood.

What was most chilling were those black and red eyes, churning with pure and savage rage, fixedly locked on the direction of Gu Feng and the others in the mountains.

Clearly, the killing of its own kind had thoroughly enraged the enormous monster.

The terrifying aura it exuded seemed to carry a tangible sense of oppression; even from over a thousand meters away, Xu Lindong still felt his skin tighten slightly.

"Bigfoot leader—there's actually such a leader in these deep mountains! Could there be a small tribe hiding there?!"

Xu Lindong's heart sank. He immediately turned and went into the car to retrieve his shield and scythe, while simultaneously shouting through his earpiece, "Gu Feng, take the men and retreat! Now!!"

At the same time, he took a step forward, his figure suddenly blurred, leaving only a faint afterimage in the place.

When it reappeared, it was already fifty meters away.

Without pausing, he continued to rush forward in this almost instantaneous "shrinking the earth to an inch" manner.

He moved at an extremely fast speed, and the rugged terrain of the mountains and forests did not hinder his progress at all.

The Bigfoot leader's strength is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary Bigfoot.

Its strength may already be comparable to that of a Sequence 8 superhuman, and its performance in actual combat is even more terrifying.

Its explosiveness, speed, strength, and defense are all terrifying.

What's more troublesome is that priests from different tribes would also grant their leaders different low-level supernatural abilities.

Moreover, the presence of a leader here implies that a small, intact tribe may be lurking deep in the mountains.

The priest is likely nearby; the situation is extremely dangerous.

He had to cover his teammates' retreat while also getting away as quickly as possible.

If he were surrounded by dozens of Bigfoot monsters and priests, even he would be in danger.

"withdraw!"

Gu Feng's roar echoed through the mountains and forests, carrying a powerful and intimidating command and warning.

He immediately led his team to run down the mountain at full speed, even using a secret technique called "Rapid March Song" that could increase the speed of the entire team, thus accelerating their movement.

boom!!

A rock the size of a millstone came hurtling towards us from a hundred meters away like a cannonball!

"Get out of the way!"

The crowd scattered like ants in a pot that had been exploded.

Loud boom!

The ground shook violently, and rocks crashed fiercely into the forest.

Trees snapped in half, and soil mixed with wood splinters shot into the sky, creating a horrifying scene.

If this blow lands squarely, even if the goalkeeper raises his shield to withstand it, he will likely suffer severe damage.

"middle!"

"Scatter and escape!"

The group turned pale and immediately split into smaller groups, fleeing desperately down the mountain.

Boom!

A massive black shadow violently smashed through the trees along the way, rushing towards them at a terrifying speed disproportionate to its size.

It casually uprooted a tree as thick as a bowl and hurled it like a javelin.

"Whoosh!"

The ear-piercing sound of something tearing through the air was terrifying.

Just then, the giant log was about to smash into Lu Mo, one of the team members who was running away.

"It's over!"

Lu Mo's face turned ashen. He had just started a fire in his stove, but this small amount of fire defense was utterly ineffective.

Just now.

A colossal, extraordinary phantom suddenly descended from the sky, its massive fist clenched and unleashed a fierce shockwave!

boom! !

The incoming tree trunk instantly exploded into countless fragments in mid-air.

Wood chips and leaves rained down like a storm.

Amidst the flying debris, Xu Lindong's figure emerged from the extraordinary illusory clone.

His rising phantom was as majestic as a mountain, nearly four meters tall, and his imposing presence was in no way inferior to that of the Bigfoot leader opposite him.

"Captain Xu!" Lu Mo exclaimed in surprise after surviving the ordeal.

"Leave now! I'll take care of things here."

Xu Lindong spoke calmly, and with a backhand motion, he took the Crimson Cloud Bow from his back.

The next moment, his body seemed to fade into nothingness, turning cold and sinister, instantly entering the "locked blood" state of the Night Wanderer, and he drew the bowstring and fired.

Boom boom boom boom!

A series of bowstring twanged.

Arrows of qi and blood rained down like a torrential downpour, or flew out like a swarm of locusts, instantly covering the area in front.

Wherever the arrows passed.

The leaves and wood chips scattered everywhere were all shredded by the sharp force.

Although the Bigfoot leader charged at high speed, its size made it impossible to completely avoid such dense coverage.

Puff puff!

As it ran at full speed, it was struck by three arrows, but it suddenly roared and unleashed an extremely frenzied aura.

Its body was covered in gray hairs that stood on end and emitted a faint light, which actually shook off the arrows that were embedded in its fur!

These arrows, imbued with the power to pierce steel and split stone, and even containing explosive force, could not even tear open the monster's skin!

"What!?"

Xu Lindong's expression changed drastically.

Just then, the Bigfoot leader fixed his furious black and red eyes on Xu Lindong.

Its body crashed to the ground a hundred meters away with a thud, then it raised its head and let out a roar even more terrifying than before, its fangs bared in a ferocious manner.

"roar!!"

A tangible wave of sound seemed to transform into ripples.

The air itself seemed to transform into layers of cascading waves.

The terrifying sound waves, carrying with them fragments of rock and broken branches, transformed into a destructive hurricane and a stench that swept in!

Xu Lindong frowned, and suddenly let out a sharp ghostly howl.

The ghostly howl collided with the roaring hurricane opposite, partially canceling each other out.

But in an instant, Xu Lindong's figure blurred, leaving only a solid, enormous, extraordinary phantom image in place.

Almost simultaneously, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Bigfoot leader, and the muscles of his massive legs bulged as if rocks were about to burst.

"!!"

The ground beneath its feet suddenly collapsed.

Its massive body transformed into a blurry afterimage, tearing through the air with the terrifying force of a train derailing as it charged forward.

boom!

A loud bang echoed through the mountains and forests, and the air was compressed into a visible, solid wave of air that exploded in all directions!

Amidst a deafening roar like the breaking of the sound barrier, trees within a radius of tens of meters were swept away as if by an invisible typhoon, snapping and falling, with broken leaves scattering everywhere.

Two colossal shadows collided violently in mid-air.

It was Xu Lindong's imposing and extraordinary illusory clone that remained in place, along with the Bigfoot leader who was charging towards them!

In the instant of the collision.

The "momentum" that had been accumulating within the extraordinary phantom clone, like an air pump, suddenly poured out.

It actually withstood this brute force.

But it itself began to dim visibly, and its outline began to show a faint ripple.

The Bigfoot leader roared, its black and red pupils flashing with ferocity.

Without stopping, he delivered a powerful backhand punch!

The force of the punch shattered the air and slammed heavily into the chest of the illusory clone.

The solid figure was violently shaken, almost disintegrating.

However, just as it was about to attack...

The air to the side twisted strangely.

A massive scythe shimmering with a chilling, pale blue light.

It suddenly emerged from a cold, dark path that appeared out of nowhere.

The angle was extremely tricky, aiming straight for his ribs!

"roar!!"

The Bigfoot leader reacted extremely quickly, swinging his giant hand to block, but missed.

The sickle, seemingly both real and illusory, pierced through its thick hide and fur, its sharp edge embedding itself deep within its tough, leathery muscles.

An incomparably cold aura of death immediately seeped through the blade, as if trying to pull out its strong soul, which was blessed by the priest.

"roar!!"

The excruciating pain and the intense threat to his life caused the Bigfoot leader to raise his head and let out a deafening roar!

The sound waves exploded with violent sonic waves.

Its body was covered in long, blackish-gray hairs that stood on end, and suddenly the hairs shone brightly, emitting extremely strong and extraordinary energy fluctuations.

shhhhhhhh!

Countless bristles shot out in all directions like poisoned crossbow bolts!

"Extraordinary abilities!?"

Xu Lindong felt a sudden alarm, his expression hardened, and he drew his shield from behind him with lightning speed, slamming it into the ground in front of him!

"Bang!!"

The golden-red light on the shield intensified.

A massive, solidified gate-like phantom suddenly rose from the ground, firmly protecting him behind it.

Thump thump thump thump! ! !

The sound of impacts, as dense as a torrential downpour, exploded instantly.

Countless hard, steel-needle-like gray-black hairs, accompanied by a piercing shriek, crashed violently into the portal's illusory form, exploding into bursts of blinding energy flames.

The violent impact made the shield vibrate and hum, Xu Lindong's arms bulged with veins, the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, his blood and qi surged, and he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood!

Almost simultaneously, the sickle he was holding in his left hand suddenly felt lighter.

The Bigfoot leader actually managed to break free of the hooks.

next moment!

A violent killing intent, accompanied by a huge shadow, pressed down on us as if it were a physical force, like Mount Tai pressing down on us!

Xu Lindong could already smell the unpleasant, fishy stench.

At this point, there was no way to avoid it. His eyes flashed, and he stomped his right foot hard on the ground!

"rise!"

A rumbling sound came from underground, and the soil within a ten-meter radius cracked open.

With a hissing sound, countless sharp rock spikes burst forth from the ground, transforming into layers of giant waves like thorns, which surged forward relentlessly.

Boom! Bang!

The Bigfoot leader roared, making no attempt to dodge or evade, its massive body charging like a chariot, shattering and exploding rock spikes wherever it passed.

It broke through the earth and waves, carrying with it a huge fist, and slammed it hard into the shield that Xu Lindong had erected in front of him!

clang!!!

The deafening explosion was like a chestnut bursting open!

The shock wave, visible to the naked eye, spread out in a ring.

The ground suddenly shook and collapsed downwards, with the soil layers churning and bulging like ocean waves.

The shield was thrown backward by the force of the impact.

However, Xu Lindong's figure behind the shield had vanished into thin air!

The Bigfoot leader immediately sensed the threat.

It suddenly turned its head.

The slender figure appeared like a ghost dozens of meters away from where it had been standing.

It merged into one with that majestic, extraordinary, and ethereal avatar.

Xu Lindong's illusory clone was already poised to strike, its blood and energy surging like a volcano.

At this moment, his original position was restored.

Instantly, the illusory clone and he raised their hands at the same time, their arms working together to grip the bowstring of Pei Chixia.

"Buzz!!!"

The crimson bow trembled violently, bursting forth with blinding blood-red light.

The bowstring seemed to be stretched into a violent full moon.

An arrow, solid as a tangible object and wreathed in crimson blood energy, instantly took shape on the bowstring, emanating a terrifyingly destructive aura.

It shot out in an instant!

"Whoosh!!"

The Bigfoot leader's ferocious pupils suddenly contracted, and a strong sense of crisis pierced his back like needles!

It roared and strained its thighs, trying to twist and dodge.

However, the jet of blood shot out was too fast.

Like a blood-red lightning bolt tearing through the air, it arrived in an instant!

"Bang!!"

A muffled thud as flesh and blood burst open in the air!

The arrow struck the Bigfoot leader's right shoulder blade with pinpoint accuracy.

Its already thin layer of hair and tough, leathery skin were instantly torn apart and pierced, and the blood-soaked arrow embedded in it exploded instantly.

"Aww!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the mountains and forests!

Gu Feng and the others, who had already escaped to the mountain road, all turned pale with shock.

How long has it been, and Captain Xu has already injured that terrifying monster?

At this moment, a hideous blood hole the size of a bowl exploded in the right side of the Bigfoot leader, and broken bone fragments mixed with scalding blood gushed out.

The excruciating pain turned its eyes completely bloodshot. It turned its head and glared fiercely at Xu Lindong, its eyes surging with boundless hatred and murderous intent.

However, the next moment, its leg muscles suddenly compressed like springs.

"Bang!"

The ground cracked!

Its massive body shot up like a cannonball, fleeing madly into the depths of the forest without hesitation!

"Trying to leave?"

Xu Lindong frowned, ignoring the turbulent blood and qi of the messy wash, and the blood flowing from his fingers, and forcibly opened the "Rest Gate" and "Injury Gate" of the messy wash.

He drew the bow again!

"Boom boom boom boom!!"

The bowstrings vibrated rapidly, creating a series of loud bangs.

Streams of blood arrows shot out like meteors chasing the moon, trailing rapidly!

However, the monster fled at an extremely fast speed, without stopping at all, leaping and bounding among the trees.

Two or three arrows grazed his back, exploding into sprays of blood, but failed to cause fatal damage.

Xu Lindong's eyes turned cold, and the power of the golden-red gatekeeper quietly spread out beneath his feet, his senses spreading like a net.

In an instant, he captured several scattered yet fierce extraordinary auras in the depths of the mountains and forests.

Even more sinister and powerful energy lurked in an even deeper place, like a serpent in hibernation.

His steps, which were about to give chase, suddenly stopped.

"Tribal Priest—"

Xu Lindong's fierce look softened slightly. He frowned and wiped the blood from Pei's mouth, gradually suppressing the killing intent in Pei's heart.

Although his strength has greatly increased, he is no longer a mindless brute.

A large tribe of Bigfoot was clearly hidden in the mountains, and a priest of unknown strength was in charge of the area.

If he were to chase after them alone, he would be deliberately courting disaster and walking right into their trap.

"Xiao Qing! Report this to your superiors immediately."

A small Bigfoot tribe was discovered in Pei Yixing, with a chief and a priest, both at Sequence 8 strength, as well as several ordinary Bigfoots.

""

Xu Lindong quickly connected the headset and gave a brief report on the situation.

Once this intelligence is reported, headquarters will have a specialist assess it and then coordinate a comprehensive crackdown.

The plan will be more comprehensive then, and you will be safer.

He picked up Pei's shield, glanced at the huge, dented fist mark on its surface, and felt a chill run down his spine.

"This power—it's simply terrifying."

Even now, despite being in a "wounded" state and his injuries are healing rapidly, he still feels a dull ache in his arm and deep wound.

Without the support of his extraordinary illusory clone, if he hadn't immediately dodged the attack while holding his shield, he would have suffered far more than just a minor injury.

"This kind of Bigfoot leader with such low-level superpowers is truly terrifying!"

Xu Lindong took a light breath, his gaze sweeping over the stiff hairs scattered on the ground.

These are all excellent materials.

He quickly gathered them up, then picked up the corpses of the two Bigfoot monsters and turned to retreat down the mountain.

These corpses are of research value to the Extraordinary Research Institute branch.

These ugly creatures resemble apes but are far more intelligent, and their chaotic social system is practically a carbon copy of the old movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes."

The research institute tracks the evolution speed and changes in combat capabilities of Bigfoot Furbon from different periods.

A dozen minutes later, a special operations vehicle and a patrol car quickly left the mountainous area and headed towards the city.

The atmosphere at the car wash was somber, with Gu Yi and the other team members still in a state of post-battle stress.

Some people were trembling slightly, unable to control their ugliness, and some even started smoking.

Clearly, Pei was intimidated by the ferocity of the Bigfoot leader.

They will probably need to go to Haowuji and Mental Health Center for psychological counseling as soon as they get back, otherwise they may be left with psychological trauma.

However, at this moment, all the new team members looked at Xu Lindong with completely different eyes.

Previously, they had only heard how strong Captain Xu was, that he had killed a Sequence 8, but that was just a rumor, and they had never seen it with their own eyes.

Today, however, they are truly receiving a training course.

:

If Xu Lindong hadn't appeared in time and covered the rear, those few simple yet incredibly powerful attacks thrown by the Bigfoot leader would probably have killed or injured several people.

If that monster catches up with us, it will be a one-sided massacre.

"This newly arrived Captain Xu—his strength is ridiculously high. He's far superior to the previous Captain Lin!"

This was the shared thought in the minds of all team members at that moment.

"Captain Xu, thank goodness you arrived in time—otherwise I might have just—"

Lu Momo's palms were sweaty, and his hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly; he was still shaken.

Xu Lindong saw that Yi You's teammate was fortunate enough to be a "secondhand smoke purifier".

He opened the window to let the smoke dissipate, shook his head and said, "You are my team members, and I am responsible for everyone's safety."

There's no need to use such polite words anymore.

I think everyone still needs to focus on improving their skills, because scenes like today will likely become more frequent in the future.

The news of these scandals sent a chill down everyone's spine.

"Yes," Gu Yi said in a low voice, "the two high-risk beggar pits in the foreign federation are still open, like opening two floodgates."

"If this continues, there will only be more and more strange events happening here, and you'll become increasingly agitated in the Beggar's Pit."

"This kind of thing should be avoided."

Gu Feng smiled wryly, "Unless headquarters can really send high-ranking experts abroad to reseal those two sinkholes—but is that even possible?"

"We can't wake up an ugly person who's pretending to be asleep."

Xiao Mufeng shook his head and replied, "You can't save Pei Yixing, Tie Peixin is courting death in the Federation."

Even if our Xia Kingdom sends someone to seal it, their servants will open it again, and we might even get dragged into it, which would be a loss for them.

""

After he finished speaking, the carriage fell silent.

Xu Lindong looked out the window as the car slowly approached the edge of Peicheng City.

He frowned slightly.

Putting everything else aside, the current extreme weather alone is already making life difficult for ordinary urban dwellers.

Many ordinary people, especially the elderly and the ugly, simply cannot withstand the drastic changes in their living conditions.

In the past month, the hospital has been overcrowded, and the mortality rate has risen sharply.

It is foreseeable that, as time goes on, the extraordinary fluctuations in the air will become stronger and stronger, and the extreme beggar aura will only become more and more frequent.

In that time, even more ordinary ugly people will be eliminated.

The Xia Kingdom's "Beggar's Pride Plan" is now like a race against time.

The Federation adheres to the dark law of survival of the fittest, focusing on eliminating those who cross the "kill line" and eradicating any existing conflicts or potential threats.

They even went so far as to stifle the future of the younger generation; the top experts have colluded with the evil god and willingly fallen into depravity.

The Xia Kingdom spared no expense in investing massive resources to fully support the rapid rise of a new generation of beggar prodigies, enabling them to stand on their own.

These are two completely different paths.

"When I get back, I must prepare some health-boosting items for Uncle Yi and Aunt Zhou, so that their bodies won't be too weak to handle it!"

Xu Lindong thought to himself, then picked up his extraordinary phone and sent a message to Luo Li, the captain of the second squad: "The mission of the first squad has come to a temporary end. How is the situation on your end? Report to me immediately if there are any new developments."

.

After returning to the city, Xu Lindong reviewed Luo Li's report and, after confirming that there was nothing to be wary of,...

He handed over the training mission at headquarters.

Then he went to the assigned rest area to bathe and get rid of the rough, fishy smell he had picked up from the Bigfoot torture.

Looking at the several empty Level 2 Extraordinary Potion Bottles on the table.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned and went to the supplies department.

This time, he received the corresponding reward for his place on the list of supernatural beings.

Since the mental hospital mission ended, and he himself has been promoted to Sequence 8 - Town Landowner.

His ranking on the list of supernatural beings jumped to 19th.

This ranking is already quite remarkable.

You can receive a prize of 600,000 and 4 bottles of level 2 extraordinary potions.

However, at this stage of training, only those who strive to advance to the top can receive even greater rewards.

Moreover, that will be his last time receiving a ranking reward.

Once he advances to Sequence Seven, he will automatically be removed from the list.

Supplies Department.

With perfect health and vitality, Director Shi meticulously handed him the box containing resources and the card with the bonus, reminding him in a serious tone: "In a few days, the Pride Ranking will be announced for the first time. At that time, you can also receive the corresponding reward."

Xu Lindong was slightly taken aback, only then remembering this matter.

After the Beggars' Pride Ranking was first established, his current ranking was enough to place him in the top three of the headquarters, firmly securing second place.

At that time, he will be able to receive the extraordinary material rewards required for all promotions below the middle sequence.

Furthermore, you can also choose an additional C-grade divine artifact or other resources of equivalent value.

Previously, he had used his own merits to exchange for extraordinary materials to upgrade his "town land".

If this portion of merit points is listed later, I will return it to him.

"Thank you for the reminder, Director Shi."

Xu Lindong nodded in response, then turned and left with the supplies.

Looking at the box containing four bottles of Level 2 Extraordinary Potions, he felt a sense of unease.

Given his current state of energy and spirit, these potions will be used up in about ten years.

To advance to Sequence Seven, one's Spirit, Energy, and Vitality must reach 500.

This is a relatively long process of accumulation.

Many ugly characters stagnate at Sequence 8 because their spirit and energy cannot be infinitely improved by potions alone.

To put it bluntly, many people are like a young girl who has just experienced her first shameful act, slowly turning into a sexually frustrated young woman, gradually developing resistance or reaching a bottleneck in their physical and mental health.

Even if you continue to take medication, the improvement will become slower and slower, and with age, changes in metabolism and function may even cause your energy and spirit to decline instead of increase.

Usually, in such times, an ugly man without a beggar's fortune can only be seen as a husband who is incompetent.

You can only barely maintain your condition with medication.

Fortunately, Xu Lindong is still on the rise and is at the peak of his career.

More importantly, the energy of the Tonggai Pagoda becomes increasingly abundant as merit accumulates.

He still has half of the repair progress, which actually relies on the support of the Tonggai Tower.

Ta Ye gave Pei the capital to maintain a tough stance!

Along the way, Xu Lindong nodded in response to the friendly greetings he received from the executives he encountered.

He then quickly returned to the training rest room.

He unscrewed a bottle of Level 2 Extraordinary Potion, tilted his head back, and drank it down. Immediately, his consciousness sank into the Peitong Beggar Tower.

"Uncle Dong!"

Little Finger, holding a seashell in her hand, came closer, took Xu Lindong's hand, and whispered.

"There's something bad about you..."

'

"Oh? Little finger, you have a pretty good sense of smell, but Uncle has already cleared up Chengpei."

Xu Lindong smiled and rubbed Pei's little finger, not paying much attention, and went to the bronze mirror in the hall.

Focus intently on your current state...
