Chapter 105: The Monster Emerging From The Black Mist
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Wang Family Village was located at the border of the Black Mist.
Coincidentally, the largest residence in the village happened to be half-swallowed by the Black Mist.
Half of the house was exposed, and the other half was engulfed by the Black Mist, making it a perfect reference point.
Hearing Xu Rufang’s words, Lian Jie and Simba turned around and looked at the house.
They could clearly see that the house, which was half in and half out of the Black Mist yesterday, was now completely covered by it, with only a corner of the wall visible.
The Black Mist was shrinking.
The official shelter knew about this, but Simba and Lian Jie were unaware of it.
Looking toward the edge of the Black Mist, Simba and Lian Jie were both stunned.
Just as Simba was about to say something, a terrifying roar echoed from within the Black Mist!
The sound was like a mix of a dog and a bear. At first, it sounded low, but upon listening carefully, it was sharp and ear-piercing.
The sudden roar startled Simba and Lian Jie. Before they could react, the Black Mist violently surged!
If the Black Mist was compared to a membrane, then the protruding shape resembled a huge, wolf-like or bear-like face!
This nearly ten-meter-diameter face appeared on the Black Mist, lifting a large chunk of the mist.
However, the Black Mist was indeed resilient.
Despite the struggles and hoarse growls of the giant head, the Black Mist was distorted at most under its pressure, but could not be torn apart.
This scene scared Simba and Lian Jie out of their wits.
Because from the monstrous roar just now and the massive head in front of them, they could easily deduce one fact.
This monster in the Black Mist could easily tear the two of them to pieces.
For a moment, the entire Wang Family Village fell into silence.
Except the ferocious beast which continued to wrestle with the Black Mist.
The roars were endless, just like Simba and Lian Jie’s trembling bodies.
About ten minutes later…
The surge quickly receded.
That giant beast might have sensed that it could not do anything to the Black Mist and left reluctantly.
Another five minutes passed.
Simba and Lian Jie both heaved a sigh of relief.
Their eyes met, and as they exchanged glances, both of them looked troubled.
They seemed to converse through their expressions.
Lian Jie, “Bro, what’s going on?”
Simba, “I don’t know either…”
Lian Jie, “But Bro, do you have the feeling that even though we’re far enough from that monster, it’s not as safe here as we imagined?”
Simba, “Little bro, you’re right…”
Lian Jie, “Bro, what should we do?”
Simba,”…”
“You’re asking me, but who should I ask?”
In a daze, Simba felt overwhelming sadness.
In such a vast place like Nanxiang City, Simba could not help feeling that there was nowhere safe for him.
There were monsters in the city center.
There were monsters at the edge of the Black Mist.
It wanted to ask the heavens above, where it should hide to get a trace of security?
Scanning the Black Mist from the corner of his eye, Simba suddenly froze.
Because it saw a small dot of light suddenly flash above the Black Mist.
At first, the light spot was not very noticeable, but as Simba was staring, it quickly elongated.
It was like someone poking an awl into a piece of paper.
Then, pulling the awl up…
There was a crisp tearing sound.
A crack nearly three meters long and one meter wide appeared on the Black Mist.
Through the crack, Simba could clearly see the scene on the other side of the Black Mist.
It was a cluster of huge eyeballs emitting green light!
“Ao!” There was a sharp cry.
Simba screamed.
The sound aroused the creatures in the Black Mist.
A series of roars came from within the Black Mist.
Accompanied by the sounds of intense footsteps, one after another, the monsters crawled out of the crack, charging towards Simba like wolves and tigers!
As they got closer, Simba could clearly see the true appearance of these monsters.
They had the same head as the monster that tore the Black Mist, but much smaller.
Their heads were round, resembling a mix of a wolf and a bear.
The monster that tore the Black Mist had a head with a diameter of about ten meters, while the heads of these monsters were only half a meter in diameter they might have a relationship like the ancestor and his grandchildren.
Correspondingly, their bodies were “not too big”.
They were slightly larger than well-developed adult male lions.
These monsters had blackish-gray skin covered in short, tough fur. They had six strong limbs on their bellies, making them more agile and faster than ordinary lions and tigers.
And stronger!
Dozens of these six-legged wolf-bears charged forward, causing the ground to tremble.
Low and sharp roars rechoed, making Simba’s heart tremble in fear!
“Charge! Everyone, attack them!”
Simba shouted, commanding his lackeys to block the six-legged wolf bears, while he retreated with Lian Jie.
But the zombies did not care about the six-legged wolf bears.
Hearing their boss’s command, a few Tyrants rushed forward with their lackeys and quickly collided with the six-legged wolf bears.
In an instant, there were countless zombies tumbling and falling.
Simba’s eyes widened, and his body was trembling all over as he watched the scene unfolding before him…
What happened next…
In an instant, dozens of bloody paths were plowed through the thousands of zombies.
One could see: a Tier 3 zombie, a Tyrant, colliding head-on with a six-legged wolf bear.
However, the Tyrant, known for its strength, was instantly knocked down by the six-legged wolf bear. The six-legged wolf bear opened its mouth and with a forceful bite, the enormous head was sent flying into the sky!
“Tier 4!”
Yes, Tier 4!
Each of these six-legged wolf bears had the strength of a Tier 4!
After a brief moment of daze, Simba immediately made a decision.
“Run! Run quickly!”
“Strategic shift! Quick!”
Simba felt its heart bleeding as it ran with Lian Jie.
It could not help but want to roar at the sky and question the heavens, ‘Why was I always the one getting injured? Why was I always the one running away?!’
Simba’s reaction was indeed quick.
It was precisely because of his quick reaction and cautiousness that Simba managed to escape death from several life-threatening situations.
But there are two sides to everything.
Running away as soon as things looked bad was a safety measure, but it also meant that Simba could not gather much information.
For instance, Simba did not know that Lu Ming would not venture too far from home, nor that he would pursue it.
Simba also did not know that shortly after it escaped, the crack in the Black Mist was slowly closing up.
One creature after another, the young six-legged wolf-bears emerged from the black mist.
However, at a certain moment, as the crack shrank, no monster could walk out of the Black Mist.
This short-lived change happened quickly, and it ended just as fast.
However, about 200 six-legged wolf bears had already successfully crossed over the boundary.
Wang Family Village.
Faced with around 200 Level 4 creatures, Simba’s zombie horde had no chance of resisting.
One after another, the zombies were crushed and slaughtered en masse.
This one-sided massacre continued until the death of the last zombie, with chaotic beastly roars echoing all around.
After declaring the victory of their race, these six-legged wolf bears lowered their heads like hungry ghosts and greedily devoured the rotting flesh of the zombies.
They seemed to have been hungry for a long time, as they ate with lightning speed and left nothing behind.
When the last trace of flesh was consumed, the 200 plus six-legged wolf-bears dispersed in groups of three or two and ran away in all directions.
Similarly, no one knew that what happened in the Wang Family Village today was not an isolated incident.
At another edge of the other Black Mist, a crack of similar size opened on the Black Mist. In just ten minutes, hundreds of black birds with a wingspan of nearly five meters squeezed out of the crack.
At another edge of the Black Mist, a peculiar zombie with a green body staggered and crossed the boundary.
In another crack…
Dozens of cracks opened at the same time and closed up in almost the same short time.
And just after the cracks closed up completely, the speed at which the Black Mist shrank suddenly increased by several times!
