Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Injuring the tentacle monster
Translator: Doggotranslation
Chu Yunsheng immediately put away the crossbow and took out the pistol.
He who had escaped many dangerous situations knew that no matter how dangerous the situation was, he shouldn't panic. If he panicked, then everything would be over!
At this moment, the monster was blocking the exit. If he wanted to leave, he had to fight his way out. It didn't matter what kind of monster it was. If he wanted to survive, he had to fight to the end!
The crossbow was not a very effective weapon against this type of thin and long monster. Not only was it difficult to aim, but even if the arrow hit the monster, the frost arrow would probably only be able to freeze a part of it.
Although bullets might not be able to hit the monster as well, the fire the bullets unleashed could burn everything. He could only hope that the fire could stop the monster for a while.
Chu Yunsheng didn't wait for the monster to attack. He pulled the trigger straight away. After all, he didn't think that this monster would be friendly towards him.
The monster easily dodged the bullets and quickly moved back into the corridor. At the same time, three different tentacles that were as thick as a human leg slithered through the air and headed towards him from deep inside the corridor.
Chu Yunsheng could not think of any other methods. He could only try to scare the tentacles away by lighting up the surroundings using the flames from the pistol.
Facing Chu Yunsheng's powerful flaming bullets, two of the three tentacles waved rapidly in the air, using their bodies to block Chu Yunsheng's bullets. Even until Chu Yunsheng could smell a heavy burning smell, they were still trying to protect the last tentacle.
The tentacle monster was very agile, especially the one that was protected by the other two. It was like a snake, quickly approaching Chu Yunsheng and wrapping around him.
Relying on the energy shield talisman's protection and the Yuan Qi inside his body, Chu Yunsheng broke free several times, but every time, he would be caught again.
When the fourth and the fifth tentacles appeared, Chu Yunsheng finally lost his hope. His body was now completely wrapped around by the tentacles, he could not even move his hand to replace the empty magazine.
The tentacle monster probably thought that Chu Yunsheng no longer had any resistance ability, it started to drag him to the inpatient department at the back of the hospital.
Chu Yunsheng tried to halt the panic in his mind. He tried to find a way to escape as fast as he could, but he could not find any.
The inpatient department was a four-stories high building. It was not very tall, but it was very wide. When Chu Yunsheng was dragged inside, he discovered that all three floors of the building had already been destroyed. The inner walls of the building were covered with a sticky substance as if the whole building was glued together. It was like a mossy cave glowing in dim green light.
Moreover, the wall was full of naked women. Chu Yunsheng was so shocked that he could not even close his mouth. There were also some bodies that were still wearing the torn patients' clothes or nurses' clothes.
Chu Yunsheng finally realized why he felt something was amiss when he was in the hospital's hall. The hall was too clean. He did not even see a single body in the hall area! Red-shelled insects only liked to eat brains, they would discard the rest of the body. So the hospital should have many bodies with empty skulls. However, when he was in the hall, he did not see any of them!
Chu Yunsheng couldn't help feeling a chill running down his spine, So this is the place where the missing bodies went, but it seems that all of them are already dead!
Suddenly, he saw a thin and almost transparent tube the size of a finger being inserted into the back of a girl. With the tube connected to the back of the girl, the girl suddenly started to walk.
She was walking in a way exactly like the naked woman he saw before!
So this is what was controlling her! No wonder why I felt that the naked woman was moving like a ghost when she walked. So that scream came from this monster when I shot that arrow!
At this moment, Chu Yunsheng's curiosity surpassed his fear.
What exactly is this monster?
In the middle of the building was a bubbling pool of slimy substances. From time to time, some transparent but slimy pupa-like things would pop up from the pool. Those pupa-like things contained human bodies, and the human bodies seemed to be melting inside.
Each pupa had a different sized tube attached to it. Most of the tubes were connected to a five-meter tall tree-like cylindrically organism in the center of the building, while the other tubes were connected to the small cylindrically shaped organisms around it.
The largest cylindrical organism was at least three to four meters in diameter, covered with strangely shaped tentacles. They were the same as the tentacles that restrained Chu Yunsheng.
All the pipes and tentacles seemed to be very busy doing something. Only when Chu Yunsheng was dragged near the monster did he find out that all the women that had been hung onto the wall had been inserted with the monster's tubes in the lower part of their bodies, and there was disgusting sticky liquid flowing through the tubes.
Some women's bellies were swollen, and some had a big hole in their bellies. A lot of cylindrical monsters as big as a human palm were crawling out of the holes from the bellies of those women and quickly used their long tentacles to eat those women.
It is breeding! Massive breeding! Chu Yunsheng was shocked!
He immediately figured out that the pool in the middle was used to feed these monsters.
What the hell are those things?
Chu Yunsheng was terrified. He started to struggle desperately, but he still could not stop him from being dragged closer and closer to the pool.
Suddenly, a tentacle as thick as a human thigh appeared in front of him. Then the tip of the tentacle started to split, wider and wider until it became a huge mouth.
It then swallowed Chu Yunsheng from his head, and as it engulfed him bit by bit, the tentacle started to get bigger and bigger until it covered Chu Yunsheng entirely.
After the monster swallowed Chu Yunsheng completely, it gushed out a large amount of slimy substance and spread it around Chu Yunsheng's body.
Chu Yunsheng could clearly feel that the Yuan Qi inside the energy shield talisman started to spread across his body, and even across his night vision goggles.
However, he could not breathe inside the monster's body. If he could not get out soon, he would definitely die of suffocation!
"Pop!"
The monster finally spat Chu Yunsheng into the pool after it turned Chu Yunsheng into a slimy pupa. Soon after he fell into the pool, a thin tube tried to insert itself into Chu Yunsheng's head, but it was deflected by Chu Yunsheng's Yuan Qi.
Chu Yunsheng's face was flushed red due to the lack of oxygen. But when he noticed that the tube was deflected, he immediately realized that it was his chance!
Under the protection of the energy shield talisman, the erosive liquid only made him unable to breathe; it could not do any damage to him. Even his hands, clothes, and pistol, were all safe at the moment.
He could take out his sword and break the pupa open, but he knew that he would not be able to run too far. Those tentacles would still drag him back.
His only way to escape was to try to get close to the largest tentacle monster, which should be their queen, injure it, and then wait for the opportunity to escape!
After the thin tube was deflected, the pupa he was in was also pushed closer towards the giant tentacle monster.
Inside the pupa, Chu Yunsheng floated past many other pupas. Most of them only had human bones inside.
At the moment, Chu Yunsheng still couldn't breathe, but fortunately, with the strength of Yuan Tian stage one, he was still able to hold his breath for a while.
He secretly reloaded the pistol and checked his ammunition amount. His bullets were going to run out soon, he only had less than thirty of them left.
He then took out an absorption talisman and slowly restored his Yuan Qi bit by bit. Fearing that the monster would notice it, he did not dare to restore Yuan Qi too fast.
When Chu Yunsheng reached the giant monster, the monster still didn't realize what he was doing.
One... Two... Three!
Gathering all his strength, Chu Yunsheng waited for the moment to attack.
Now!
After restoring six units of Yuan Qi, he quickly shot out three bullets, each bullet consuming a unit of Yuan Qi.
The pupa instantly broke open, and the bullets with blazing flames flew towards the monster fast.
Simultaneously, he took a deep breath hastily.
The monster had an energy shield, but Chu Yunsheng had already expected it. Even the red-shelled insects had energy shields, let alone this even more terrifying creature.
"Woo... Woo…" The monster was enraged by his sudden attack. It waved all its tentacles in mid-air and rapidly whipped them at Chu Yunsheng!
The bullets were spinning quickly on the monster's energy shield, their flames were still burning fiercely. The monster's shield seemed to be gradually weakened by the blazing flame.
Before the tentacles reached him, Chu Yunsheng immediately fired two more shots.
This time, the flaming bullets finally penetrated the shield and the monster's skin!
They violently collided with the monster's internal organs and exploded inside the monster. A gaping hole was instantly made by the explosion in the monster's slimy body. Some of its organs were blasted out and scattered everywhere.
"Woo...woo!" The monster was screaming in pain. and it tried to dive into the slimy pool.
Now is my chance to escape!
When Chu Yunsheng was just about to turn around, one piece of the monster's internal organs suddenly stuck on his night-vision goggles. Instantly, he felt a tremendous amount of energy coming from it. It was so much that with even just a small piece of this monster's organ, it had more energy than several insects combined!
But there was no time for him to stop and think about other things. Many small monsters were crawling on top of the big tentacles. They all opened their mouths, screaming at him while starting to surround him.
Chu Yunsheng immediately took out his last weapon, Li Huo talisman without any hesitation.
This was a level-three offensive talisman. With Chu Yuansheng's strength of Yuan Tian stage one, he couldn't unleash its full power. If he used it now, it would really be a waste. However, he had no choice.
Looking at the monsters charging towards him, Chu Yunsheng quickly passed his Yuan Qi into the Li Huo talisman and activated it!
Li Huo talisman instantly projected a "fire" pattern in mid-air and then started to gather a tremendous amount of Yuan Qi towards it.
Suddenly, he heard a sharp noise. Then the pattern started to break and flames started to appear inside the building out of nowhere. And as if God was casting the fire magic from the sky, it began to rain fire inside the building!
