Chapter 943: The Murderer is Here?
Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1
Aziz's bayonet had a very special origin. It wasn't a looted treasure; Aziz actually brought it into the nightmare realm from the real world.
The original form of this bayonet was a dagger used by the American special forces. This dagger first killed Aziz's father, mother, grandfather and grandmother, then finally stabbed into Aziz's thigh. He was only two years old at the time.
The dagger became his only toy when he was a child. After twenty years, he stabbed the dagger into the heart of its original master.
When he was discovered and then recruited by the nightmare realm, the dagger came in with him for some reason. As Aziz became more familiar with the realm, he finally paid some money to have a contestant with a forging ability forge the dagger into a bayonet.
The bayonet had no grade but it was a very powerful trump card for Aziz. Others would think that a gunman would be weak after being closed down; they wouldn't know that Aziz had a bayonet that could pierce through almost anything. It could kill without spilling a drop of blood.
But at this moment, the surface of the bayonet had a very clear layer of rust. When the rust was scraped with fingernails, some rotten powder would drop! When Aziz had used the bayonet to pierce the squirming crimson meat wall before, it was as easy as a hot knife cutting through butter. What lay behind the place where the sound originated from, and why did it have such powerful defence?
Aziz was in desperate need of achievement points at the moment, but he showed not the slightest bit of hesitation in consuming 8 achievement points to repair the bayonet! It was obvious that Aziz placed this weapon above everything else. Sheyan obtained this information because he was currently in a semi-alliance with Aziz and he had military rank advantage.
The incident also reminded Sheyan to be more careful. If he wanted to sell the Galaxy for a good price later, he better stay away from Aziz and do so without Aziz's knowledge. Otherwise, there would be cracks in the already tenuous alliance between them . At least, before the completion of the Golden Side Mission, Sheyan had to hide it carefully.
The strange sound gradually reappeared again, and the amplitude of the sound kept getting lower. The sound was not the kind of clear ringing sound when steel collides, but rather, it sounded like the low rumble when a car started, causing the uncomfortable feeling of the organs in the body vibrating.
Aziz looked towards Sheyan. He had already acted and had suffered a loss, so it should be Sheyan's turn now.
Sheyan's thick black brows were furrowed as he stared at the part of the meat wall that was stabbed by Aziz before this. A yellow liquid still dripped down from the spot and the wound did not quickly heal. It kept twitching and squirming, looking like a pair of mysterious lips reciting a silent curse.
Sheyan looked thoughtful as he squatted down, held Jones' tail between his fingers, and stabbed it fiercely into the wound!
The meat wall wasn't impregnable this time, but the crimson meat walls all around them started to squirm vigorously as if there was a large earthquake. Meanwhile, yellow liquid gushed out from the wound. Sheyan tried his best to dodge but he couldn't avoid all of it.
After the liquid splashed onto his body, it eroded into his flesh like sulfuric acid and gave off an unpleasant stench. At the same time, there was a strong resistance from the wound, as if it was trying to repel Jones' tail which was half a meter long!
Sheyan groaned and, ignoring the liquid which had completely burned his face, he continued to exert strength and finally pushed all of Jones' tail into the meat wall. Instantly, a strange noise which sounded like very thick cardboard slowly being torn apart was transmitted from within the meat wall. The meat wall started to constrict and split apart to form a tunnel which extended downwards.The walls on the two sides of the tunnel were very uneven, looking just like how the broken side of a sausage ham would look like if it was torn apart instead of sliced apart. Not only that, the crimson, fleshy walls were also madly secreting a pale yellow liquid!
Sheyan simply rushed into the newly-opened tunnel without much care because he had high defence and HP. Aziz hesitated slightly and immediately saw that the unstable tunnel had begun to rapidly close back up.
Seeing this, could Aziz still play it safe? Does he dare to play it safe? He could only grit his teeth and rush into the tunnel. Even though his whole body sizzled due to the erosion of the corrosive yellow liquid that had been falling down like rain, he could only soldier on.
Fortunately, the tunnel was not that long. Sheyan had only run for a dozen odd seconds before he his vision broadened. He rushed into an open space about the size of a basketball court. The place still looked like the environment inside a living body, with the walls, ceilings and floors all having a fleshy crimson colour. However, the colour here was obviously darker than where they were before, and seemed to be rich with blood.
In the centre of the area was a black-and-red oocyst (TL: Something like an egg) the size of a truck suspended in mid-air, rhythmically twitching. Above it connected a dark purple aorta (ED: That's the bigass artery that come out of the heart) the thickness of a bucket, while at the bottom, there was a large lump of folded umbilical cord that looked like the tubes on firefighter trucks. A large amount of liquid pumped through it.
The strange humming noise that they've been hearing came from the oocyst.
Sheyan noticed that as the humming noise sounded, layers of ripple-like wrinkle appeared on the surface of the oocyst. There seemed to be a connection between the two. Suddenly, Sheyan's pupils shrunk because he felt a strong sense of danger from behind him!
'There's nothing behind me but the meat wall half a meter away.' There was no change to Sheyan's expression but he was secretly shocked. However, when he compared this to Jones' attack from before, Jones' attack appeared much more clever. Sheyan thus felt much more relieved.
All of a sudden, Sheyan bent down and buried his head between his hands! A huge sickle-shaped limb appeared from the wall and slashed at him! If Sheyan had not acted in advance, this move would have been very deadly!
The sharp mantis limb left a long trail of sparks on Sheyan's right boxing glove! The attack was very strong. Fortunately, Sheyan's powerful new alien glove had reliably displayed its power. The mechanical joints that were rotating in all directions had skillfully absorbed most of the cutting force. Despite that, the cut still left a white mark on the surface of the glove.
Sheyan had not even seen the face of the ambusher before it had quickly retracted back into the meat wall at the side. After that, human-shaped bulges appeared on the meat wall, then broke away from the wall and turned into faceless, blood-red humanoid monsters. They seemed to perceive Sheyan as an enemy and had immediately charged towards him.
There was no doubt that the owner of the mantis limb was still hidden in the dark, waiting for a chance to strike.
The faceless flesh monsters pounced on Sheyan as soon as Sheyan entered their range. If Sheyan was held by them, he would definitely be on his back foot. Sheyan evaded two of the flesh monsters and kicked away one, then grabbed another one and twisted its neck until it broke. However, that didn't kill the monster. It continued attacking with its head tilted 180 degrees.
Sheyan turned to the side to avoid its attack, then threw his knee at its chest. The clear sound of bone breaking could immediately be heard. Sheyan felt as if there was a hard-shelled egg inside the monster's body, which shattered thanks to Sheyan's knee attack.
Next, Sheyan sent another flesh monster flying with a kick. He grabbed the shoulders of a flesh monster and continuously slammed his knee into the monster's abdomen. He was extremely ruthless. By the time Sheyan was done with it, its internal organs had all been broken. It dropped to the ground like a pile of mud. As soon as it died, it was immediately absorbed by the organic "floor".
Suddenly, Sheyan felt a threat approaching from the ceiling. Although Sheyan had an early warning, the enemy was extremely fast. The terrifying giant sickle-limb once again slashed towards him. Sheyan didn't even have the time to block. He could only sink his shoulders, thus barely dodging the attack. Still, the sharp limb carved away a large piece of his flesh. The cut was so smooth it looked like it was made with a scalpel. Sheyan's clothes were instantly soaked in blood!
For some reason, Sheyan was suddenly reminded of the scene at the strange sacrificial ground, where the corpses were all cut into pieces! Only one thing could have caused such wounds! It was very likely that the series of murders were all committed by this person with the mantis' "sickle limb"!
When he thought of this, Sheyan immediately attached more importance to this person. He endured the pain and grabbed at the sharp deformed limb. At the same time, Aziz appeared from the entrance. The weapon in his hands flashed, sending a bullet over.
All Aziz did was pulling the trigger and firing a bullet, but anyone who saw him would feel a chill creep into their heart. It was a bullet that was fired but it screamed like an artillery shell. Such was its power.
The hidden enemy only lost his focus for an instant but the terrifying bullet had already reached him. The bullet carried the flesh of the two flesh monsters it passed through in its trajectory and pierced into the head of the enemy who couldn't dodge in time!
