Chapter 3 This is a trial(1/2)
Author: Kaka No. 3
The monster in the rain imitated the human voice and said:
"tasty--"
Humans are at the top of the food chain, but at the end of the day they are still animals.
Just like a lamb meeting a wolf, when facing a terrifying beast that far exceeds the human body, the animal instinct called "fear" will instantly flood the human brain and awaken the body's survival instinct.
Now, Chen Qi had followed his instinct and quickly retreated. The instinct called survival made him forget the burning pain in his right hand for a moment.
What the hell is this!
The instinct of fear forced Chen Qi to pick up the phone very quickly and keep stepping back.
Twenty meters in front of him was a pitch-black monster that was fully two meters tall. Its body was black and moist, with sticky liquid dripping from its smooth skin.
There were no eyes or nose on the face, only a big mouth full of sharp teeth and blood stains. In that mouth, there were at least fifty long fangs densely packed, enough to chew Chen Qi's head to pieces.
.
Judging from the body shape alone, this is definitely not a monster that ordinary people can defeat, let alone the saw-like teeth.
And now, no one can save me. Chen Qi suppressed the fear in his heart and reminded himself repeatedly:
"Keep calm, calm, calm down..."
At this time of life and death, all body functions are running rapidly, and the brain is trying its best to search for any way to help survive.
Suddenly, a few sentences from the previous text suddenly appeared in Chen Qi's mind.
Covered in black, with no nose or eyes, isn't this the "shadow beast" just mentioned in the identification text of the Morning Star!
I am already in the black rain of disaster!?
The reason why I skipped the text again is because I encountered a disaster in this world.
Shadow beasts hunt living creatures through the dark rain, and the disaster is called black rain.
Chen Qi looked around through the light of the street lamp. As he expected, there were a few black raindrops in the dirty heavy rain, but the overall number was not many.
And being targeted by this monster means that I have black rainwater on my body!
There is a strange cold and sticky feeling on my face...
The shadow beast twenty meters away stepped through the rain with its thick and smooth limbs, and its speed was far faster than that of the crazy hunting dog!
boom!
The shadow beast's thick black limbs exerted force suddenly, shortening the gap of ten meters in an instant:
“Delicious, delicious!”
In desperation, Chen Qi suddenly took out a paper towel from the inside of his clothes, wiped the black rain off his face, and threw the paper away instantly.
call--
In an instant, the shadow beast lost its target and stopped, its whole body still, like a dark stone statue in the rain.
Don't make any noise and try to stay calm!
Chen Qi leaned under the pavilion, suppressing his instinct to run into the rain.
Try to stand as far away from the rain as possible, and pay attention to the movements of the monsters in front of you!
Wipe the black rain off your body! Is that enough?
No, this still doesn’t work!
The speed of this damn thing is far faster than mine, and there is black rain outside, so there is no option to escape!
You must not get caught in this black rain!
Chen Qi looked around, but there was more and more black rain, and the light of the street lights was obscured by black raindrops.
call!
A gust of wind blew past, like the god of death swinging a scythe, pricking black raindrops hard on Chen Qi's face!
Damn it!
When the black raindrops hit Chen Qi's face, the shadow beast suddenly thrust towards Chen Qi:
"Found it! Food!"
In an instant, Chen Qi gritted his teeth, turned his ankles sharply, and barely escaped the shadow beast's bite by turning sideways.
However, due to the speed difference, it is absolutely impossible for him to escape the second time! Absolutely impossible!
At this time, a short text appeared on Chen Qi's mobile phone.
[You have successfully equipped the attached weapon—Shadow Dagger.]
There was a tingling sensation in his right hand, and Chen Qi could feel that an extremely sharp dagger was forming in the palm of his hand.
Since there is no way out, it is better to give it a try——
The shadow beast jumped into the air and turned around, swinging its thick tail to maintain its balance, and then opened its bloody mouth, intending to bite Chen Qi's head into pieces.
kill!
In the dead end, Chen Qi's soft eyes of prey have turned into a ferocious hunter!
As Chen Qi stepped back, he waved his right hand violently, and a black dagger with a cold light appeared from Chen Qi's hand.
The dagger came out smoothly and slashed hard at the shadow beast's face. Although the shadow beast reacted and stretched its head back, there was still a fresh scar on its face.
At this time, Chen Qi stepped back and took advantage of this short time to take a look at his mobile phone.
[You launch an attack on the enemy Shadow Beast (Lv3), causing 2 points of damage, and the enemy's remaining health is 90%. 】
Chen Qi clenched the dagger and looked at the monster in front of him. It still raised its head high and looked down at the food in front of it in a hunter's posture. The tiny prey in front of him actually wanted to use a small sharp object to deal with it.
Chen Qi's heart moved. The monster in front of him was already dead!
"Quack, quack, quack!"
After the shadow beast saw the tiny dagger in Qing Qi's hand, it let out a hoarse, weird laugh, grinned and rushed towards Chen Qi again!
Boom!
The moment the shadow beast opened its mouth, dark shadow thorns suddenly spread out from its wound, like a tree taking root and spreading, instantly penetrating the shadow beast's huge body.
[Your weapon characteristic "Shadow Thorn" is activated, causing 10+15 damage, the shadow beast's blood volume is 0%, and it dies. 】
[Kill Shadow Beast Level 3, gain 9 experience points, trigger the blade phase, gain an additional 2 points, gain a total of 11 experience points]
[The level is upgraded to Lv2, 3 free attribute points are obtained, the current experience is 1/30, and the experience required for the next level is 29.]
Chen Qi held his breath and looked at the monster in front of him.
The dead shadow beast exploded like a burst water balloon, and its entire body lost its solid form, turning into black water and flowing into the ground.
The corpse of the shadow beast was dissolved by the rainwater and flowed into the drainage ditch built on the street, as if this terrifying evil beast had never existed again.
One move takes seconds, and it shouldn’t be possible to cheat the corpse...
This is the strength of this weapon...
Chen Qi stood there, staring blankly at the ground.
What on earth is this...
…
As the shadow beast died, the ticking sound stopped, everything around seemed so silent, and time seemed so long.
The rain stopped——
The black rainwater disappeared like steam, and the light of the street lamp shone on Chen Qi's body again, giving people a warm feeling of security.
Chen Qi carefully picked up the phone:
[Morning Star Reminder: You (the body) have escaped from the disaster - Black Rain.]
Is it safe? For now...
When the crisis was over, an overwhelming torrent of thoughts flooded Chen Qi's mind.
Chen Qi opened his eyes wide and looked at the dagger in his right hand, a dagger brought from another world.
The handle of the knife is clearly connected to the bones inside the palm of the hand, and fine marks can be seen on the blade. It has obviously been used for many years.
Whether it's the clear feeling of pain, the coldness of the blade, or the violent beating of his own heart, everything is so real.
It's so real, so real that it's hard to accept...
Chen Qi touched his head. He had seen too many such strange scenes in novels and movies.
I have also imagined myself traveling to such a world and how I would feel at that time.
However, when this terrifying and dreamy thing actually happened to him, Chen Qi was completely unable to describe the feeling at this time, nor could he accept it as quickly as the protagonists in those movies.
Fear? Confusion? Relaxation? Excitement?
To be continued...
