Chapter 23 The Notorious BIG
He easily killed the aggressive Kalne.
After experiencing three life-and-death battles, Li Qing simply didn't believe that he would encounter such an easy opponent.
However, the system prompt that appeared in his mind and the experience bar that suddenly increased in the system interface told him clearly: this person is dead.
"Really dead?"
Li Qing forced himself to accept this absurd fact, and then took cautious steps, trying to avoid Kalne's body and leave.
However, at this moment...
As soon as he took a step, a faint sound suddenly rang out in the woods - it was the slight crawling sound of an unidentified object moving through the mud in the forest.
The sound came not far from Karne's body, and very close to Li Qing.
"There's something strange indeed!"
Although Li Qing cannot see after being digitized, he can construct the general outline of the enemy in his mind through sound waves.
And at this moment, in his perception...
That enemy was not a human being at all. To be more precise, it did not have a human shape at all.
It is a mass of something about the size of a basketball that is constantly deforming as it wriggles violently…
Piece of meat.
This piece of meat looked like a monster whose skin had been peeled off alive. Its surface was covered with criss-crossing grooves, indescribable tentacles, and tumors that were densely packed like blisters.
Every time it squirms, one can hear the disgusting sound of the dark red sticky liquid flowing through the flesh and blood.
"What is this!"
"It seemed to have escaped from Kalne's body, but Kalne was clearly dead."
"Could it be..."
"Is there such an evil stand that requires the sacrifice of the master's life to activate?!"
Even though Li Qing was calm by nature, he couldn't help but feel a sense of horror as his San points dropped rapidly.
He instinctively accelerated his retreat, but the strange flesh mass that seemed to have walked out of an evil myth seemed to have locked onto Li Qing and immediately sped up along with his steps.
Li Qing fled quickly into the distance, and the piece of meat chased him relentlessly.
It had completely lost the sluggishness and bloat it had shown at the beginning, and instead used its muddy body to bounce and leap in the woods, as agile as a monkey.
No matter how Li Qing speeds up, it can always perform slightly faster than Li Qing.
The distance between the two, which was already small to begin with, became closer and closer in the process, close enough to make people feel creepy.
What’s even scarier is…
"How do you feel..."
"Not only has this thing gotten faster, but it's also gotten bigger!"
Li Qing's heart sank:
While chasing him, the piece of meat actually devoured all the trees, flowers, plants, insects and ants that passed by along the way.
All of these things were swallowed up by that disgusting piece of flesh, contributing nutrients to its twisted, perverted, and evil body.
The extremely twisted mass of flesh eroded everything in its path, like an insatiable glutton, constantly eating, multiplying, deforming, and expanding.
“Damn it!”
"It's absorbing the energy from those things!"
Li Qing's expression became extremely solemn:
"This damn thing can actually absorb energy and become stronger!"
"If I let it expand infinitely like this, it will sooner or later become so powerful that I won't be able to resist it..."
"No…I can't run away anymore."
"Its speed is always faster than mine. No matter how I run, I can never escape its pursuit."
"What's worse is..."
He tried to concentrate and listen to everything around him:
"There are no birds or animals in this artificial forest, and there are no pedestrians within a 300-meter radius."
"Even if I wanted to use Echo Shot to escape, I wouldn't be able to find the target located by the Sky Sound Wave."
"Escape will only lead to death..."
Feeling the twisted piece of flesh behind him almost touching his back, he made an extremely bold decision:
"I must wipe it out completely before it becomes too powerful to be defeated!"
Li Qing suddenly stopped and pointed his gun at the monster that was rushing towards him without fear:
"Asshole!"
"Since you are dead, you should die more !"
He fired four bullets in an instant, blasting the indescribable mass of flesh at a very close range.
Four shocking large holes were suddenly torn on the piece of meat, and a large amount of sticky scarlet liquid spurted out from the wounds.
It looks shocking, but it has no effect at all.
“Puff, puff…”
With a creepy squirming sound, the piece of flesh quickly repaired its wounds.
The three bullets that hit his body seemed to be swallowed by him. Not even the shells were spit out. They disappeared without a trace in his body.
"No?"
"Even bullets have no effect on it!"
Li Qing's expression was extremely ugly:
His current physical strength is limited, and the most powerful means of attack at his disposal is firearms.
If even the supersonic bullets fired by modern weapons can't hurt the monster's skin, then he really has no way to fight against such a terrifying creature.
Thinking of this, Li Qing instinctively wanted to continue running away.
However, he had already paid the price for the wrong decision he had just made when he lacked intelligence.
The piece of meat was not hurt at all by the bullet. Instead, Li Qing's useless counterattack slowed down his escape, leaving him completely exposed to the attack range of the evil piece of meat.
“Wow!”
The piece of meat waved its ugly tentacles and flew towards Li Qing's body at an extremely terrifying speed.
The next second, it completely clung to Li Qing's body.
Li Qing instinctively wanted to shake the disgusting piece of meat off his body, but it was like malt sugar melting in the summer sun, and it stuck tightly to the human body once it touched it.
It clung to Li Qing's chest, squirming and deforming constantly.
The differentiated tentacles were like a vine with vigorous vitality. In an instant, they covered most of Li Qing's body, firmly locking his shoulders, knees, elbows and other important joints.
In this situation, Li Qing was completely unable to move.
Then, the disgusting piece of meat began to wriggle more vigorously, as if it wanted to tear Li Qing's skin and flesh apart in the next second and swallow him entirely into its body.
Because the digitized body is absolutely indestructible, its instinctive attempt to eat failed.
No matter how hard it squirmed, squeezed, and tore, Li Qing's body would recover instantly after being injured.
However, this does not mean that he cannot be harmed by this violent devouring:
92%…83%…75%…
His health continued to decrease as the meat was devoured.
If he can't get out of this situation, he can only hold on for eight more seconds at most.
But the problem is…
"I can't break free. I can't break free at all!"
"It's ok that this monster is fast and has strong vitality, but its strength is far superior to mine!"
Li Qing was now like a powerless insect trapped in a spider web trap. He could only watch in despair as the damn spider wrapped his body inch by inch with spider silk, and then devoured it bit by bit like tasting a snack.
“How ridiculous…”
"You said he was a high-level player..."
"I've only been in the game for half a day, and I'm about to die?"
The flesh on his body was getting tighter and tighter, and Li Qing saw no hope of escape at all.
He had almost given up thinking.
But at this moment, the roar of a car engine suddenly came from the distance on the coastal highway outside the woods.
Because the distance was at least several hundred meters, the sound seemed a little weak.
The piece of meat was still concentrating on gnawing at Li Qing's body, not moved at all.
But Li Qing's eyes, which were covered with white shadows, had already brightened:
"car?"
“There’s help!”
