Cheat Awakening
Chapter 564. Correcting Errors
Although the attack of the mysterious creature was quite fierce, thankfully the wind shield managed to hold on, and Myne was finally able to see the other party''s figure.
It was a two-meter-tall, wolf-like creature with extremely dark skin, devoid of fur. It possessed razor-sharp teeth, a big nose, black, pupil-less eyes, long claws, and a long, thin tail. However, it was most conspicuous because its entire body continuously released a black fog, and it also displayed a considerable level of intelligence.
After realizing its attack had failed to harm Myne, the creature took a deep breath, opened its big mouth, and released a thick black fog, swiftly obscuring Myne''s vision before vanishing into the black fog.
"Damn it, what the hell was that?" Because the mysterious creature was too fast Myne didn''t get a chance to use his appraisal skill on it. Cursing under his breath, he hurriedly moved the tornado closer to clear the black fog. He was about to move forward when he suddenly noticed some movement on the ground below him.
Confused, Myne looked down and was shocked to find a big, thick, black arm, surrounded by the black fog, with long nails, appearing between his legs, God knows when. Just as he looked down, it tightly grabbed his right leg. Then, another hand emerged from the ground without any trace, as if passing through it like a ghost, and placed its palm on the ground for support.@@@@
The next moment, Myne felt his body lightening and a strong wind hitting his face. When he came back to his senses, he saw himself lifted up by the hands on the ground and was thrown out of the alley with super-fast speed, smashing hard into a house on the other side of the road.
BOOM!
Five of the hairless gang''s members, who were on alert and paying attention to the battle in the alley, were frightened to death when they saw Myne flying towards them. They immediately jump aside from the window. Then, with a loud bang, Myne blasted the wall apart, smashed through two additional walls, and crossed out the house, landing on the road on the other side.
"F*ck! Do you think he''s alive?" One of the gang members, who still had the energy to care about Myne''s situation, asked, as he struggled to his feet.
"Hard to say. If I had taken such a solid hit, even if I''m not dead, I''m afraid I wouldn''t be able to get off the bed for at least half a year," Another member replied uncertainly while helping others move the debris off their bodies.
"Idiots, stop talking nonsense and let''s go help him. Don''t forget our bonuses are in his hands. If something happens to him and he doesn''t give the boss the payment, it will be a big loss for us," The third one, who seemed to have some IQ, scolded the others angrily before quickly rushing towards Myne. Everyone else also came to their senses after hearing the third guy''s words, and their expressions instantly darkened.
Indeed, if something happened to this "golden thigh," who would give them the payment for tonight''s operation? Thinking this, the remaining four looked at each other and quickly followed the third guy.
However, when they came out of the house, they saw the third guy standing awkwardly in front of Myne, scratching his head awkwardly and saying something in a low voice. As for Myne, whom they thought would be seriously injured, he was just patting his butt to dust it off, with a calm expression as if nothing had happened. There was no trace of serious injuries on his body at all.
After saying that, fearing that everyone would surround him and start asking for bonuses in advance, Gandu quickly slipped away, leaving everyone thinking about the grand promise he dangled before them.
"Cough, everyone, my wife is ill, so I can''t return to headquarters with you. I''ll leave first," A random core member of the gang suddenly spoke with an apologetic smile and quickly ran away under everyone''s suspicious gaze.
"Huh? Does Boss Jing have a wife? Wasn''t he single until yesterday?" Someone in the gang, who hadn''t understood the seriousness of the situation, couldn''t help but speak, and because everyone was silent, his voice was heard by everyone.
"Now I remember, I also have to check on my elderly mother. She got sick yesterday and needs someone to take care of her. Sigh, if only I could find a good wife like Jing," Another core member spoke in a regretful tone and walked away with a sad look.
"Oops, I forgot to close my house, and my wife is alone there. I''d better go back."
"What? You too? What a coincidence. It seems like our memory is getting worse with each passing day. I really miss my young days."
One by one, all the core members, after leaving lame excuses, ran away under the confused expressions of the inner members of the gang, who didn''t understand why everyone was so eager to go home instead of thinking about tomorrow''s hunt plan.
...
"Are you okay, Myne?" After returning home, Aisha saw Myne sitting on the couch, lost in thought, and couldn''t help but ask worriedly.
"Yes, I''m fine. I was just thinking about tonight''s operation... Those monsters hidden in the fog were really weird, especially their skills. During the entire fight, I couldn''t even touch them and could only take a beating passively. If they hadn''t wanted to hide their identity and focused on retreating after finishing their job, I''m afraid I wouldn''t have gotten away so easily," Myne spoke with a heavy heart, falling into deep thought again.
Although he had quite a few powerful skills that could give the kidnappers a heavy hit, these skills also caused significant damage to the surroundings. Once cast, they not only damaged friendly units but also damaged a bit of the surrounding area.
He lacked a super-powerful all-rounder skill that could deal heavy damage to a single target or be helpful in specific situations like tonight, which made Myne realize one of his significant weaknesses.
"Don''t think too much about it. Let''s go and have a good sleep. I''m sure you''ll figure something out tomorrow," Aisha, not knowing how to deal with the matter, comforted Myne and gave him a sweet kiss, dragging him towards the bedroom, not wanting him to worry too much.
