I am an insect

Ji Ye was forced to follow his rhythm and keep spinning in place. At first, it seemed that neither of them could do anything to the other, but Ji Ye knew that if this continued, he would surely die.

As the opponent's speed increases, one will gradually fall behind. If one is careless and fails to keep up with the opponent's pace, there will be no time to defend, and the opponent can deliver a fatal blow.

Although the man with vertical pupils was running so fast that his physical strength was being depleted more than his own, as an adult insect, he had the special ability to continuously strengthen his body. In particular, after growing to the "sub-stage," his stamina was far greater than that of ordinary humans. Even at top speed, he could maintain his speed for more than ten minutes without any problem, while Ji Ye was not confident that he could keep up with his speed for those ten minutes.

In a short time, cold sweat broke out on Ji Ye's forehead. He realized the seriousness of the problem. This man with vertical pupils was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Suddenly, a figure appeared from the side, and a yellow spike emerged from behind the rapidly moving man with vertical pupils, heading straight for him.

Lin Ya finally dealt with the remaining three men and women in white hats. Seeing that Ji Ye was in trouble, she immediately stepped in to help.

Ji Ye was trapped in the middle by the man with vertical pupils. He held on and did not risk rushing out. He was just stalling for time to wait for Lin Ya.

With Lin Ya's current "Asian state" strength, the remaining three white-hat men and women are no match for her. It's only a matter of time before she takes care of them. As long as she has the time, she will definitely come to her aid.

As Lin Ya suddenly made her move, Ji Ye knew his chance had come. He immediately stopped, having been circling around the man with vertical pupils, and activated "Resonance." Two black hooks, one in front of the other, swung towards the man with vertical pupils.

The man with vertical pupils was incredibly fast. Despite being attacked from both sides and affected by "resonance," he was still able to unleash terrifying speed in an instant, dashing sideways to dodge their attacks.

Almost at the same moment, a nearly transparent wing suddenly grew from Lin Ya's back.

This wing looked like a wasp wing magnified countless times. With the flap of this wing, Lin Ya's speed actually increased along with the vertical-pupiled man, and she almost leaped out into the air.

Lin Ya's sudden acceleration took the vertical-pupiled man by surprise. He was greatly taken aback. No matter how fast he went, he couldn't dodge in time. He only managed to raise one claw and barely managed to block the yellow spikes that Lin Ya was thrusting at him.

How could Ji Ye let this opportunity slip by? A dark light faintly appeared on the surface of the double hooks, and he slammed them down.

With a "hiss," the man with vertical pupils groaned. His remaining claw couldn't stop Ji Ye's two hooks and broke off instantly. Even though he dodged quickly, the sharp edge of one of the black hooks sliced ​​across his chest and abdomen, tearing a rip in his clothes and causing blood to flow out immediately.

Fortunately, he dodged quickly, and the hook did not completely tear through his flesh or injure his internal consciousness.

However, the wound was not shallow, and blood gushed out like a spring. It could be said that he was just a hair's breadth away from being disemboweled.

The man with vertical pupils was injured and stumbled back in a panic, his face turning extremely ugly. Ji Ye unleashed both hooks simultaneously, one aimed at the man with vertical pupils, while the other swept horizontally, targeting the weasel clinging tightly to his shoulder.

While he was fighting, the weasel clung tightly to the man with the vertical pupils' shoulder, as if it had taken root there, remaining completely still.

It was only at this moment that it sensed something was wrong and tried to jump off the man with the vertical pupils' shoulder.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Just as it leaped out, Ji Ye's hook swept across, its sharp edge slicing along the weasel's side.

The weasel that jumped out let out a scream and fell from the sky.

The man with vertical pupils let out a sharp shriek, smoke rose from his legs again, and he suddenly accelerated, leaping out diagonally. With a swift movement of his right hand, he picked up the weasel that had fallen to the ground.

He suddenly rushed out so fast that neither Ji Ye nor Lin Ya could catch up. They saw him carrying the weasel that Ji Ye had severely injured, and he instantly widened the distance between them, reaching a distance of ten meters.

Ji Ye and Lin Ya rushed forward at full speed, one on the left and one on the right. The weasel was now severely injured and was probably going to die. The man with vertical pupils was also seriously injured. They would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"You...you deserve to die..."

The man with vertical pupils let out a hoarse howl like a demon. He held the severely injured weasel in his right hand, and with his left hand, he reached into the wound on its side where it had been cut open by a hook. He pulled it out, and Ji Ye saw him pull a clump of grayish substance from the weasel's body, which looked like a wisp of smoke that did not disperse.

The weasel, which had been struggling, immediately stretched out its limbs and stopped moving as the grayish substance was removed; it was clearly dead.

Ji Ye had already rushed within five meters of him, raised the black hook, and was originally going to swing both hooks at him, but this scene was a bit strange, which made him more cautious. He only swung the right hook and pulled back the left hook in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

He could tell that the hazy substance extracted from the weasel's body was a special kind of mental entity, but he wondered how this man with vertical pupils could extract it from the weasel's body.

But then the man with vertical pupils tossed the lifeless weasel carcass with his right hand, hurling it at Ji Ye who was rushing towards him. With his left hand, he grabbed the clump of grayish substance and covered his head and face with it.

He took a long, deep breath, like a whale inhaling water, and inhaled the hazy, grayish substance through his mouth and nose.

Ji Ye swung his right black hook, deflecting the flying weasel carcass. He then saw the man with vertical pupils suck in the grayish substance. From his open mouth, two sharp fangs emerged from each of his upper and lower rows of teeth.

Of course, this is not a real physical mutation that grows fangs, but rather an extension of the energy of the mind that materializes into fangs.

"Be careful, this guy is weird!" Ji Ye immediately warned Lin Ya, but he himself did not stop moving. The hooks in his hands collided with each other, activating "resonance" again. He quickly moved in front of the man with vertical pupils. The right hook, which was faintly glowing with dark light, swung out to meet him, while the left hook was pulled back to protect his body.

The man with vertical pupils suddenly opened his mouth and made a short, sharp sound, similar to a sneeze. Ji Ye, who had studied insects and animals, immediately recognized it as the cry of a weasel. Could it be...?

Almost simultaneously, the man with vertical pupils arched his body, his palms on the ground, resembling an animal. The instant Ji Ye swung his right hook, he pushed off the ground with both hands and feet, his entire body leaping into the air and crashing into Ji Ye. His open mouth revealed fangs, and the skin on his face wrinkled up, making him look extremely fierce and ferocious.

At this moment, although he has a human body, his appearance is very much like that of a ferocious wild beast.

With a "clang," Ji Ye found that the black hook he had swung out was clamped. The claws that the vertical-pupiled man had cut off had grown back, and they were even thicker and longer. One claw clamped the hook, while the other claw plunged down towards Ji Ye's head.

With the sharpness and power of those claws, Ji Ye had no doubt that if he were pierced, they could pierce through his head.
