About how my wife resurrected me as tentacles after my death.

"Great gun!"

Cheng Ming's voice pierced through the chaotic gunfire. He saw that the Bone-Splitter had been shot in the eye by Yu Wan's shot, and its whole body tilted to the side, crashing into the wall, sending shards of stone flying.

He seized the opportunity, cutting in from the right side of the Bonebreaker, gripping the knife in a reverse grip, and thrusting the tip straight at the heart below the Bonebreaker's chest cavity.

The blade slashed horizontally from the inside, and blood gushed out from the Bone-Splitter's chest cavity, as if a floodgate had been opened.

The Bone-Splitter let out an even louder roar than before, and its body suddenly took two steps back.

Meanwhile, another hunter had already set up the heavy Gatling gun.

The barrel began to spin, and the first burst of bullets struck the side armor of the Bonebreaker, sending up a long trail of sparks.

Then came the second and third barrages, the relentless barrage forcing the Bone-Splitter back a few steps into a corner, temporarily preventing it from charging forward.

The others realized what was happening too.

Someone flanked from the side, while someone threw a flashbang; the blinding white light exploded in front of the Bone-Splitter.

Although its intact eye was suppressed by gunfire and could no longer be opened, the flash still made it instinctively take a step back.

Chen Yuan extended a small tentacle to take a look.

The Bone-Splitter has been restrained. Although it hasn't fallen yet, its movements have clearly slowed down, and there's no longer any chance for Yu Wan to do anything.

Just then, a masked man stood at the edge of the hall.

He wore the same combat uniform as the other hunters, blending in seamlessly into the crowd.

The man next to him had just drawn his knife, ready to rush forward, when he saw him standing still. He looked up and said, "What are you standing there for?!"

"I'm sorry..." the masked man said softly, his voice drowned out by the gunshot, and no one heard him.

He took his hand out of his pocket.

A small glass reagent tube containing a cloudy, dark green liquid.

He crushed it.

Instantly, a dark green mist surged from his hand and quickly spread out.

The toxic fog spread along the ground, seeping into every corner of the space.

The Bone-Splitter suddenly stopped moving.

It shook its head, as if it had been provoked by something.

The movements, which had slowed down, instantly returned to their ferocious state, even faster than before.

With a single claw, it tore through the previously stabilized front-line defenses.

One hunter's armor was smashed to pieces, and he flew through the air, crashing into the wall with a muffled groan before falling still.

"Damn it!!! There's a mole!"

Someone shouted, but the voice changed halfway through.

Then he knelt down on the ground, his eyes bloodshot.

The poisonous fog had spread throughout the entire hall, blurring the view to the naked eye with a faint dark green veil.

Someone was still firing, but the gun barrels were already off course, and the bullets hit the wall, sending up a spray of gravel.

"Kill the monsters first!" Cheng Ming's voice remained steady, but his hand holding the knife had begun to tremble slightly.

The poisonous fog was eroding his nerves. He shook his head, gritted his teeth, and gripped the knife in a reverse grip.

Using the last ounce of his clear judgment, he severed the Bone-Splitter's left claw with a single strike.

The Bone-Splitter let out a short roar, and dark red blood spurted from its severed limb.

It shook its head, turned around, crashed into the half-collapsed wall next to it, and disappeared into the dust.

The toxic fog is still spreading.

In the hall, hunters fell one after another. Some struggled to stand up, but collapsed again in less than half a second.

The gunfire stopped, leaving only sporadic coughs and muffled groans.

Yu Wan stood in the corner, inhaling a puff of poisonous fog, her vision already blurring.

She glanced down at her collar, where Chen Yuan's tentacles peeked out and were rubbing against her chin.

"Ah Yuan..."

She called out softly, her voice very low, then her knees buckled, and she slowly slid down against the wall.

She tried to stand up, but her body wouldn't obey her commands.

.......

All eighteen people collapsed.

The masked man slowly emerged from the poisonous fog.

This poisonous fog is specially made, using materials from level six monsters; they went to great lengths to produce it.

He took off his mask, revealing a very ordinary and unremarkable face.

He glanced at the hunters lying haphazardly on the ground, making sure that no one was moving.

Then he drew his pistol from his waist and cocked it.

He placed his index finger on the trigger, the muzzle of the gun pointing downwards, and took a step forward.

"I'm sorry..." His voice was flat, as if stating a fact that didn't need explanation.

"Today...the investigation mission ended in total casualties."

We just take different paths...

He bent down and pressed the muzzle of his gun against the head of the nearest hunter.

But before he could even pull the trigger, something cold pressed against the back of his head.

He froze, his finger hovering over the trigger, but he didn't pull it.

He turned his head and, out of the corner of his eye, saw a blurry face reflected in the shards of glass on the ground.

The pupils... are completely black.

His gaze shifted forward slightly, and he saw that none of the people lying on the ground had moved.

1..2...3...17......

Poison from a level six monster? How could that be...?

He turned his head to the side, his whole body suddenly spinning backward, the dagger sliding out of his sleeve and slashing towards the shadow's throat.

"Go to hell! Hahaha!"

But in the next instant...

"Bang--!!!"

A spiderweb-like crack appeared in the stone wall, and then the masked man's body slid softly down the wall.

There was no more life.

Chen Yuan condensed from Yu Wan's body, transforming back into small, deep purple tentacles, and then supported her as she fell.

"Puji Puji (pure)"

He glanced down at the person on the ground. This person probably didn't survive.

Then, he wrapped his tentacles around Yu Wan's waist and picked her up.

Her head rested on his tentacle body, her long, silvery-white hair hanging down and swaying gently with his movements.

He couldn't control the people on the ground.

Forget about missions, just grab your wife and run away.

If the road is blocked, just smash it open.

Anyway, with him protecting us, we're not afraid even if it collapses.

He moved swiftly along the passage, his tentacles coiling around Yu Wan, protecting her in the middle and shielding her from falling rubble and collapsing ground.

But we could sense that several more level-three monsters were approaching from behind, at least three of them, coming from behind.

They were surrounded.

Chen Yuan stopped, gently placed Yu Wan on the ground, and sat her against the wall. Her head was tilted to one side, and her breathing was steady.

Chen Yuan squatted down in front of her and gently touched her forehead with the tip of his tentacle, but she still didn't wake up.

There's nothing we can do now but wake Yu Wan up.

Although he could withstand a one-on-one fight against a level three magical beast, he really didn't have a good solution when faced with three beasts and another person at the same time...
