Why is my anime art style so weird?

Some expenses are necessary.

The piglet hesitated for a moment, but its desire to eat eventually overcame its fear, and it nodded in agreement to Xu Ming's plan.

The operation began quickly.

Xu Ming, with the piglets in tow, quietly entered the room.

In order not to wake the monster prematurely, Xu Ming turned off his phone light and relied on his 'night vision' ability to slowly approach the monster in complete darkness.

Soon, the man and the pig approached the monster.

Xu Ming could even smell the strong stench emanating from the monster's breath.

The smell was like someone who hadn't washed their mouth for decades and was eating Lao Ba's secret-recipe mini hamburgers for every meal, almost making Xu Ming stumble from the stench.

After finally catching his breath, Xu Ming solemnly nodded to the piglet.

The little piglet raised its two hooves to its chest, made a cheering gesture, and then charged headlong into the monster.

call!

A thick black mist spread out, and the 'Silver Raven' made a dazzling appearance once again.

He jumped into the monster's arms and, before the monster could wake up, threw the birdcage at Xu Ming.

"Catch! Xu Mingjun!"

Xu Ming caught the birdcage steadily, then turned and ran towards the gate.

Someone was causing trouble right under its nose. The monster, neither deaf nor dead, immediately woke up and let out a strange roar.

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

The sound was like the screams of a dozen women of different ages tied together.

At this moment, 'Silver Raven' suddenly picked up the 'Poison Dragon Dagger' that Xu Ming had lent him and stabbed it hard into the monster.

The deadly poison quickly invaded the monster's body, causing it to let out a scream.

After succeeding, 'Silver Crow' did not linger in the fight, but instead immediately ran to another corner of the room.

The monster instantly became enraged!

As Xu Ming had predicted, the enraged monster immediately chased after the 'Silver Crow,' completely ignoring Xu Ming, who was carrying the birdcage and running towards the gate.

However, this monster was too big.

In just a few seconds, they caught up with the 'Silver Crow'.

'Silver Raven' immediately turned around and pounced on the monster, stabbing it with a dagger.

Bah!

His courage was commendable, but he paid the price. He was slammed against the wall by the monster, creating a large, human-shaped crater, and his armor shattered on the ground.

Xu Ming quickly put it back into the 'Hyakki Yagyō Chū' and continued running towards the gate without stopping.

'Silver Raven' bought him nearly 20 seconds in total.

Xu Ming exerted all his strength and barely managed to run halfway.

At this moment, the monster also noticed Xu Ming, who was carrying a birdcage.

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

The monster grew increasingly angry.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The monster took a step and started running wildly.

The monster was lying down and couldn't be seen before, but now that it stood up, Xu Ming could see that the monster's swan-like body had more than a dozen slender, pale female legs growing from its underside, and it charged towards him like a centipede.

At this moment, the advantage of being enormous was fully demonstrated.

The monster's every step was almost equivalent to three of Xu Ming's, and it also had more than a dozen legs.

Five seconds! In just five seconds, the monster caught up with Xu Ming!

At this moment, Xu Ming was still nearly a third of the way from the gate!

Xu Ming didn't hesitate at all, almost the instant the monster approached.

Turn around and take a picture in one smooth motion!

Click!

A streak of purple-gold lightning, accompanied by purple runes, ripped through the darkness.

The monster suddenly seemed to have been punched hard, and screamed as it fell to the ground.

As Xu Ming had predicted, the monster was not killed in one blow.

After a while, the monster slowly got up from the ground and continued to chase after Xu Ming.

Fortunately, the speed has been reduced by more than half.

Clearly, the blow it suffered had severely injured it, and the 'suppression' slowing effect was still in effect!

When the monster caught up with Xu Ming again, Xu Ming was less than one-sixth of the way from the gate.

Just as Xu Ming was about to put up a fight, Haruyuki Arita suddenly jumped out of the 'Hyakki Yagyōshō'.

"Don't even think about hurting my comrades!"

It roared, donned its tattered 'Silver Raven' armor once more, and charged at the monster with its 'Poison Dragon Dagger'.

Xu Ming gritted his teeth, didn't look back, and instead ran with all his might.

Bah!

With a thud, the 'Silver Crow' was slammed into the wall once again.

Bah!

With another sound, Xu Ming rushed out of the door and slammed it shut.

Arita-kun, I won't let your sacrifice be in vain!

Xu Ming clenched his fists and silently swore an oath in his heart.

Um... I think I'm not dead yet...

One of the silver-armored men, who had been slammed against the wall again, thought to himself helplessly.

The above is just a joke.

After escaping, Xu Ming immediately closed the door and put Haruyuki Arita back into the 'Hyakki Yagyōshō'.

Bah!

A loud crash came from behind the door, and the monster seemed to be trying to break down the door and rush out.

Xu Ming was startled and quickly grabbed the birdcage and fled from the door with the swan pattern.

Xu Ming quickly escaped to the vicinity of the stairs leading to the first floor.

He was temporarily safe, so he began to communicate with Haruyuki Arita in the "Hyakki Yagyōshō" (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) using telepathy.

'Arita-kun, how are you?'

'I'm fine, Xu Mingjun, don't worry...'

Although Haruyuki Arita said that, Xu Ming could still hear obvious fatigue and weakness in his voice.

"Arita-kun, thank you for earlier. Just rest and recover; leave the rest to me!"

Xu Ming made this promise to himself with unwavering conviction.

After showing his regards to the biggest contributor to this operation, Xu Ming pried open the birdcage and obtained the key to the opera house.

He examined the hard-won key in his palm.

The key has a simple and ancient design, with a cylinder and a square protrusion. The handle of the key is a finely carved goddess statue, which is exquisite and gorgeous.

Chapter 101 The Last Dance

Ding!

A soft sound echoed in the quiet corridor.

Boom!Boom!

Immediately following, heavy footsteps sounded, and a huge bear mascot ran through the dark corridor, chasing after the direction of the sound.

Just then, a figure sneaked out from around the corner it had been passing and ran back the way it had come; it was Xu Ming himself.

'I can't believe he fell for it so easily. Is his head stuffed with cotton?'

Xu Ming muttered to himself as he ran.

Soon, he arrived at the gate with its ornate reliefs.

Xu Ming took out the key from his pocket, inserted it into the lock, and then turned it hard.

Click!

With a soft click, the door opened.

Just as Xu Ming was about to push the door open and enter, the heavy footsteps returned!

'So fast! '

Xu Ming hurriedly went to push the door open.

But this door hadn't been opened for too long, the hinges were rusted shut, or it was too heavy, making it incredibly slow to open.

Seeing that the terrifying bear doll had already peeked out from around the corner, Xu Ming immediately bent his knees, pressed his shoulders firmly against the door, and used all his strength to slam the damned door shut.

The bear plush toy also spotted Xu Ming. It immediately let out a roar, brandishing its sharp claws that gleamed with a cold metallic light, and charged at Xu Ming. Judging from its frenzied stance, if Xu Ming fell into its hands, it would surely be torn to shreds.

"Open! Open it now!"

Xu Ming slammed his fist against the door, but the door, like an old man, remained unhurried and slowly turned.

The bear plush toy was getting closer and closer to him. Xu Ming could even feel its huge body, the gusts of air it created as it ran, and the faint chill emanating from its sharp claws.

3 meters! 2 meters! 1 meters!
