CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51: THE DARK MONSTER

In the emergency center’s second-floor ward, Lin Qiu and her companions quickly learned how to use the AA-12 shotgun with Taran’s guidance, eagerly holding their shotguns, ready to try them out.

"Chu Feng, we are ready!" Lin Qiu, holding the shotgun, revealed a bright smile on her face.

Of course, Chu Feng, startled by the barrel pointing at him, wasn’t in the mood to appreciate her charm.

He almost forgot Lin Qiu came from within the country and certainly wasn’t familiar with firearms!

"Lin Qiu, don’t point the gun at people!" Taran, seeing this, quickly reached out to redirect Lin Qiu’s barrel to the side.

"Taran, I think you can take Lin Qiu with you when you go out for firearms training!" Chu Feng teased the two with a smile, then flipped his hand, and his own AA-12 appeared in his hand.

"Wait, Chu Feng! What about Huang Chuanhao, that fake exorcist?" Lin Qiu whispered into Chu Feng’s ear.

Chu Feng, already aware of the other’s impure intentions, had also changed his initial plan.

"Take him with us; even the most useless things have their uses!"

Looking at the fake exorcist in the corner, lost in thought, a strange light flashed in Chu Feng’s eyes.

As if sensing that Chu Feng and the others were about to leave, the still, motionless impostor exorcist scrambled over, pleading as he cried out:

"Please, take me with you! Don’t leave me here alone!"

Chu Feng and the others exchanged glances, all frowning.

Enhanced by Inspiration, Chu Feng instantly noticed the man’s subtle actions. Although he was still verbally begging them, his squinted eyes were carefully observing their reactions.

Naturally, Chu Feng had no interest in playing along with his act and sternly said with a darkened face:

"Shut up; if you cry again, I’ll kill you!"

Then he casually tossed a Crystal the size of a thumb, which hit the impostor.

"Hold onto this Crystal, and don’t lose it! Your life now hangs by it!"

The Crystal, imbued with Chu Feng’s Spiritual Power, would slowly disperse it in a unique way to the surroundings.

Within a half-meter radius of the Crystal, as long as the Spiritual Power didn’t run out, the person inside could avoid the Bizarre energy from outside.

Huang Chuanhao, hearing this, dropped his facade and clumsily caught the life-saving Crystal, clutching it tightly in his palm.

"Alright, everyone ready? Let’s set off!"

As time passed, the eerie red light outside the ward grew much denser, as though the air were suffused with threads of scarlet.

After carefully observing the corridor from the doorway of the ward, Chu Feng was the first to step out.

With his high Mental Attribute, he completely ignored the Bizarre force attached to the red light.

However, the others didn’t have such high base Attributes.

Taran and the exorcists, the moment they stepped out, triggered their Spiritual Power. It instantly covered their bodies, warding off the invasion of the Bizarre forces.

As for the fake exorcist at the rear, after hesitating for a long time, he was finally dragged out of the ward by an impatient Chu Feng, who tugged at his collar.

"Chu Feng, which way do we go?" Taran asked without looking back, cautiously vigilant of the surroundings.

"First, let’s search through the last few rooms on the second floor!" Chu Feng said with a grave expression, looking at the remaining three wards on the second floor.

If his memory served him correctly, that old lady possessed by a visitor from Hell seemed to have resided in the second ward!

With a loud BANG! the tightly locked ward door was blasted open. It soared into the air and, in the blink of an eye, crashed into the opposite wall, bursting into countless fragments.

"So quiet?" Chu Feng, having just retracted his right foot from the door, darted inside as he noticed the silence.

On entering the ward, Chu Feng furrowed his brows.

In the dim room, two headless corpses lay quietly on hospital beds, their abdomens completely hollowed out. The white hospital sheets were stained a stark crimson with blood. Beyond that, there was nothing else.

"Chu Feng, is there no Bizarre creature inside?" Taran and the others, seeing no movement after Chu Feng entered the room, couldn’t help but follow him inside.

"These damn Bizarre things!" Upon seeing the scene inside the room, everyone frowned deeply, their faces filled with indignation.

Chu Feng, however, paid no attention to the people who had followed him in. Instead, he directed his gaze beneath one of the hospital beds.

"Scared to come out after seeing so many humans, are you?"

Hearing Chu Feng’s taunting words, everyone behind him tensely gripped their shotguns, continuously scanning back and forth within the ward.

Taran even took out a sparkling, translucent Crystal from her small bag and began moving it around in her palm, attempting to locate any trace of the Bizarre creature.

"Alright, Taran, come back!" Seeing Taran walking towards the bed with the Crystal in hand, Chu Feng quickly stopped her.

The few Exorcists were naturally no fools. Hearing Chu Feng’s warning, they almost simultaneously aimed their shotguns at the two adjacent beds.

As if knowing it had been discovered and no longer had a chance for a sneak attack, the creature under the bed stopped hiding.

ROAR!

With a fierce roar, the bed above it was thrown towards Chu Feng and the others by a colossal force.

Watching the bed coming at them, a cold light flashed in Chu Feng’s eyes.

With a flick of his wrist, a silver light flashed. The bed in mid-air was instantly split in two, crashing against the walls on either side with a piercing sound.

With the makeshift barrier gone, the creator of the gruesome scene in the ward was revealed to everyone.

It was a humanoid creature, only about a meter tall. Its skin was as dark as if charred and interspersed with mottled scales. Fleshy remnants still clung to its sharp, deadly claws. Its twisted face featured a pair of blood-red eyes, seemingly raging with endless madness.

"Hm? Such a strong smell of sulfur!" Everyone frowned at once.

With the monster’s appearance, a sulfurous stench, even denser than in the hallway, instantly spread.

The creature now exposed to everyone’s view naturally didn’t stay still.

Its pitch-black feet fiercely stomped on the ground.

Empowered by immense Strength, the dark creature leaped towards the group like a moth to a flame, aiming right for their gun barrels.

BANG! BANG! BANG...

Those eager to test the AA-12’s power didn’t disappoint the creature. They, along with Chu Feng, pulled their shotgun triggers the instant it lunged.

Under the formidable damage of five shotguns, in the blink of an eye, the creature lay in a pool of blood, its body mangled.

"Ding! Congratulations Host, you have killed a special creature, you will receive the following rewards:

1. Strength Attribute 5 points, Physique Attribute 5 points, Mental Attribute 3 points, Spiritual Power Attributes 5 points

2. Lifespan increased by 3 years"

In the end, it was Chu Feng, who possessed Firearms Mastery, who was a cut above the rest, ending the creature’s life with a single shot.
