Chapter 30 You deserve to be cut!
With a sharp cracking sound, a claw covered in sharp barbs suddenly stretched out from the monster egg.
The claws were like scythes, with long blades that gleamed with a cold, sinister light. Clumps of sticky liquid dripped from the top, emitting an eerie aura.
The smell was like car exhaust, which made Tang Zijun frown slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a huge head emerged.
Its mouth was full of sharp fangs, with something resembling blood clinging between them. Its pair of blood-red triangular eyes were filled with endless killing intent and madness.
The strange beast struggled to crawl out of the egg little by little, revealing half of its body, and Tang Zijun finally saw its appearance clearly.
This guy looks...
How to put it?
Overall, this beast resembles a mantis the size of a truck, with two enormous, scythe-shaped forepaws that are incredibly sharp, and four lower limbs supporting its body.
However, if you look at the head, you'll find that this thing is not an insect, but rather resembles some kind of hairless mammal.
The beast twisted its body, its hard, shell-like scales rubbing against each other, making a piercing 'crunching' sound.
Perhaps because the incubation process was interrupted, the wings on the back of this strange beast were extremely small and appeared to be not yet fully developed.
Fortunately, she wasn't fully developed yet; otherwise, Tang Zijun felt she would have needed to put in some effort to deal with a flying monster.
But even if the opponent can't fly right now, dealing with it won't be an easy task.
Staring intently at the enormous mantis beast, Tang Zijun waved to Xiaobai behind her. "Xiaobai, stay away, this guy is very strong."
"Huh? Oh."
Xiao Bai responded and, without saying another word, turned and ran, leaping away from the unfinished building in a few bounds.
After a while, a small white head popped out from the first-floor windowsill of the unfinished building, where windows had not yet been installed.
Seeing that Xiaobai had left the fighting area, Tang Zijun turned around and focused her gaze on the mantis beast opposite her that was emitting low growls.
This is a strange beast; it seems to be the first time I've ever encountered one.
Back when I was fighting against the Greedy Ones, the most bizarre thing I ever saw was probably that indescribable Mirror-Eater God of Greed.
Perhaps it is because the birth of greedy people is based on humans in real life, and ordinary greedy people basically appear in human form.
Even if they are weirdos, they are all humanoid monsters. You can hardly find any monsters, let alone one that is this big.
"Coo coo coo chichi chichi chichi!!"
The strange beast before them let out a piercing shriek, the sound waves echoing through the unfinished building and shaking off a cloud of dust.
Luckily, there weren't many people around, otherwise that shout would have attracted a lot of attention.
Actually, Tang Zijun was a little flustered when she fired the gun.
Perhaps due to premature hatching, the mantis beast appeared noticeably agitated, its blood-red eyes filled with madness and bloodlust.
It opened its blood-red maw, with saliva dripping from it, and its scales trembled slightly, the patterns on them seeming to be imprinted with countless distorted faces.
Tang Zijun raised her fingertip, and a silver card instantly appeared.
"Looks like you're worth a cut."
【Masked Drive!】
The belt returned to standby mode, and the metallic mechanical sound attracted the attention of the mantis beast.
At this moment, it finally noticed the short, silver-gray figure beneath it.
Upon sensing the presence of life, the mantis beast went berserk, swinging its massive scythe-like forepaws directly at Tang Zijun's head.
A flash of silver light, and the card slid sharply across the groove.
clang--!!
A sharp, piercing sound exploded out.
The enormous scythe came to a steady stop in front of Tang Zijun, no more than twenty centimeters from his face.
Between the two, a silver dagger was positioned in front of the scythe, using its vastly different size to block the opponent's attack.
The mantis-like creature's scythe and short sword rubbed together incessantly, sparks flying.
At this moment, the mechanical sound of the belt slowly began to ring out.
【Crescent Crash!!】
"Not bad strength"
Feeling the force emanating from the short sword, Tang Zijun subconsciously praised it.
He then noticed out of the corner of his eye that the mantis beast's other scythe-like forepaw was slashing horizontally at him from his left.
The latest novel is first published here!
With her right hand still raised to defend, she suddenly raised her left hand, twirling the shotgun nimbly in Tang Zijun's hand before aiming it directly at the oncoming scythe claws.
With a single shot, its sharp forepaws instantly turned into a cloud of slime.
The mantis-like creature's forelimbs grazed past Tang Zijun's body before she was surprised to find that her claws had been blasted off by a single shot.
At this moment, Tang Zijun made another move.
He held his hands out to the sides, rotating the short sword and shotgun clockwise and counterclockwise respectively. Then, Tang Zijun clasped his hands together, and the hilt of the short sword was immediately inserted into the gun barrel.
A crisp "click" sound rang out, a testament to the perfect fusion of the two weapons.
Tang Zijun gripped the handle of the shotgun, the short sword extending from the 90-degree and 30-degree angles, forming a shape resembling a noble knight's sword when combined with the gun barrel.
The sword suddenly emitted a faint silvery-white glow, looking like moonlight falling from the sky, sparkling brightly.
The mantis-like beast stiffened, and the madness in its eyes vanished abruptly.
Tang Zijun had already held her knight's sword upright in front of her.
"Break apart—"
With a soft murmur, Tang Zijun's figure transformed into a streak of light in the blink of an eye, her sword cutting through anything in its path!
The familiar sound of shattering glass did not occur.
The mantis beast's enormous body was split in two in the blink of an eye, and its sharp screech ceased forever at that moment.
Tang Zijun swung her knight's sword, and thick, disgusting blackish-red slime splattered all over the ground. The mantis beast's massive body paused for a moment before crashing to the ground with a dull thud.
Tang Zijun's hand, gripping the sword, trembled slightly as she slowly calmed her agitated heart.
Looking at the horrifying corpse that was constantly decomposing and diluting, and the pool of liquid on the ground, Tang Zijun licked her dry lips.
Thank goodness I didn't use the Knight Kick.
The thought of herself covered in "mud" made Tang Zijun, who had a phobia of germs, shudder.
At this moment, Tang Zijun slowly turned her head to look at Xiaobai's position.
"Is this enough?"
