Chapter 161: Armored Person (1st Update for Monthly Votes)
Li Teng took his machete and stepped out of the door, his wristwatch having expanded its scanning range to a 50-meter radius, and the distribution of the nearby Bear Rhinoceros herd was as clear to him as the back of his hand.
Li Teng ran towards an area with a lower density of Bear Rhinoceros, and with a swift raise of his hand and drop of his blade, he had slain three Bear Rhinoceros.
The nearby three herds of Bear Rhinoceros were startled and sensed Li Teng's presence in the fog, charging toward the area he was in from all directions.
Li Teng looked at his wristwatch and chose a suitable spot to stand still.
As soon as he steadied himself, dozens of Bear Rhinoceros charged towards him at high speed.
Li Teng leapt up in the air, dodging the formidable and heavy impact of the oncoming herd.
Then, all the Bear Rhinoceros collided heavily with each other.
Some of the Bear Rhinoceros's horns and heads were smashed on the spot, while others were thrown into the air by the impact, crashing into other Bear Rhinoceros, spontaneously creating a mountain of flesh!
Even if some of the Bear Rhinoceros under the flesh mountain were not yet dead, they were trampled and pressed to death by the others on top at this point.
Li Teng jumped and maneuvered to the top of the flesh mountain, and once more, swinging his machete, he chopped his way down from the peak, killing until the herd was strewn with carcasses and the ground flowed with rivers of blood.
The previously fierce and seemingly unbeatable Bear Rhinoceros battle formation was, in fact, just a disorganized group without any intelligence, relying solely on brute force to charge. Once Li Teng's combat strength had improved, with a hint of human wisdom and a simple strategy, he effortlessly slaughtered them to bits.
The Bear Rhinoceros were slain in groups, and the Time Index began to skyrocket. After this battle, Li Teng was likely to reset the entire thirty-day countdown to zero.
...
Unlike Li Teng's chopping vegetables-style battle with the Bear Rhinoceros,
all seven actors, without exception, including Liu Yin, were captured by the Octopus Monster and taken to its lair, a huge, cave-like structure with walls that seemed to be made of flesh and were covered in slime.
There were some glowing crystals in the cave, casting bright light throughout.
Their bodies, except for their arms and legs, were entangled by tentacles that extended from the walls, or rather, the flesh walls, suspending them on the cave walls, rendering them immobile.
These tentacles were unusually strong, making it impossible for humans to break free with their own strength.
"Little Bunny, where's Li Teng?" Elsa noticed something unusual and asked Liu Yin.
"I don't know." Liu Yin shook her head. The Bear Rhinoceros army had just demolished a house, creating chaos at the scene; she only saw Li Teng rush out of the house, and what happened after that was unclear.
"He might be hiding somewhere, but can he really hide? Sooner or later, they'll catch him and tie him up here with us. By noon, no one will escape punishment," Huang Xun spoke a few words.
The others didn't say anything, but they had to admit that Huang Xun made sense.
The area around the big house was only so tiny; where could he possibly hide?
After a while, a giant female Octopus Monster swiftly squirmed in from outside the cave.
It opened a hole in its body, then, from the hole, a continuous stream of small Octopus Monsters crawled out.
These small Octopus Monsters, using their tentacles, hopped and squirmed rapidly, climbed onto the bodies of those on the cave walls, tearing open their trousers and sleeves, and began to cling and suck on their arms and legs.
and released a type of liquid many times more corrosive than concentrated sulfuric acid, likely containing a potent digestive enzyme that could dissolve their arm and leg muscles into nutrients that could be absorbed.
Amidst heart-wrenching screams, the muscles on their arms and legs gradually vanished, leaving only bones.
However, just as the little octopus monsters finished feeding and were preparing to return to the female octopus monster, the screaming people discovered that the giant female octopus monster had been dismembered by someone wrapped in rags and wearing armor as if they were doing COSPLAY!
The little octopus monsters returned to the side of the female octopus monster only to find that it had turned into a puddle of flesh, and they began screeching around its corpse.
The Armored Person ran around the cave, slashing and killing several small octopus monsters with a single strike, then was chased by the creatures for a good while before turning back and again killing several more with another strike. After about fifteen minutes, when the wounds on the people's bodies were not as intensely painful and burning, all the small octopus monsters in the cave had been killed by the rag-wrapped Armored Person.
The Armored Person carefully removed the rag wrapped around his head, which was covered with the bodily fluids of the small octopus monsters. These fluids, containing potent digestive enzymes, were extremely corrosive to flesh, even more so than concentrated sulfuric acid, but they had little corrosive effect on fabric and metal.
After removing the rag from his head, the seven people trapped on the wall could clearly see the true identity of the Armored Person who had killed the octopus monsters.
It was Li Teng!
Not only had he not been captured by the octopus monsters and tied to the wall in the cave, but he had also destroyed the nest of the octopus monsters!
Wasn't that incredibly badass?
"Li Teng, it's you! Please save us! Let us down!" Elsa cried out to Li Teng as if seeing a family member.
The others also shouted to Li Teng.
Liu Yin didn't shout. Seeing Li Teng with the rag wrapped around his head, she suddenly recalled a figure in her mind.
A figure that had scared her half to death when she had first entered the Film and Television City and had fled into the wax museum.
It seemed to be the same way of wrapping a rag around the head, a terrifying image of the bandaged man, which also appeared many times in her nightmares afterward.
"I can't let you down now, your bodies have severe injuries and need to be treated up here. After you're better, you can come down," Li Teng replied a few words to Elsa.
"Those... those octopus monsters won't come again, right?" Gao Fei was still worried.
The others were also concerned.
"I killed four male giant octopus monsters and one female giant octopus monster. I killed all the little octopus monsters too. It seems there are none left. If there are, then I will just keep killing," Li Teng said with an unconcerned expression.
"Li Teng, you are amazing! I admire you more and more!" Elsa couldn't help but praise him.
"I knew this handsome guy was extraordinary! I was the first to choose this handsome guy, but unfortunately he didn't choose me," Luo Bijiao expressed her regret.
"What taste! His eyes aren't blind, why would he choose you?" Huang Xun said with a disdainful expression.
"Are you asking for a beating? What does my liking this handsome guy have to do with you?" Luo Bijiao, unable to use her 'Wishing Fan Flying Palm' while tied, felt very uncomfortable.
"Brother Teng, you're too cool! Where did you get that big sword? It's so cool!" Gao Fei asked Li Teng.
After such a long time, they indeed knew about the Hunting Cabin, managed to get the Spiked Hammer, and armor for their legs and arms, but most hadn't yet entered the stone cave.
