Chapter 114: Night Raid

After finishing the boiled compressed biscuits and canned beef, Gu Changqing saw Pei Yuntai happily playing with his phone. He walked over and stretched out his hand, and the phone in Pei Yuntai’s hand vanished.

“What’s so fun? Let me try!” Gu Changqing sat down and began playing a single-player game on Pei Yuntai’s phone.

Pei Yuntai was helpless but had no choice—he couldn’t win a fight or snatch it back.

After a short while, Gu Changqing grew bored, tossed the phone back to Pei Yuntai, and returned to his room to continue studying the Imperial Extreme Fist technique.

As dusk settled around eight in the evening, hundreds of people slowly emerged from the forest outside the city. They wore the clothing of this world’s inhabitants—men and women, old and young alike.

However, their skin began to crack and peel away, revealing blood-red humanoid forms beneath.

With a low, guttural roar, hundreds of these monsters charged toward Jieshan City, quickly reaching the city walls and relentlessly attacking the central government office.

At the moment they reached the wall, a mental-type awakened individual inside the office sensed danger and shouted, “Watch out! Enemy attack!”

Though not strong in combat—his awakened ability was auxiliary—he could sense the impending threat.

Upon hearing the alarm, the awakened defenders resting in the county office swiftly appeared atop high ground.

Even Gu Changqing stepped out of his room, leapt onto the rooftop, and scanned the approaching blood-flesh monsters rushing along the roofs.

These monsters moved with incredible speed, emanating immense blood energy. Crucially, they wielded weapons—knives, swords, spears—human armaments.

Before they could get close, elemental-type awakened fighters unleashed flames, thunder, and ice spikes.

Yet the damage was minimal. The creatures dodged swiftly, closing the distance rapidly.

Even if struck, it was difficult to kill them.

“Don’t let them hurt you!” someone shouted, as body-enhancement awakened fighters drew weapons.

Only then did the group feel the gravity of the situation.

The fastest dozen or so blood-flesh monsters leapt high, their long swords crashing down like thunder, or their spears striking with deadly precision.

The defenders felt a surreal sense, as if facing warriors of this world rather than mere monsters.

Previously, the insects controlled their hosts to live as the living do, maintaining the town’s peace, indicating these parasites retained some intelligence and memories from their past lives.

In the next instant, Yan Hao pressed his hand forward, and those airborne blood-flesh monsters seemed pulled by the earth, slammed to the ground, their weapons empty-handed.

Before the elemental awakened could act, a river of blood surged forward, engulfing a dozen monsters. Standing atop the blood river was a crimson figure with a fierce visage—Weng Ping.

His spear was ferocious, radiating a deadly aura like a battlefield general.

Nearly every thrust stirred massive waves of blood, piercing through the monsters.

Within moments, the creatures dissolved into the blood river, leaving only scattered white bones; the blood river itself grew stronger.

A blood serpent flew into Gu Changqing’s hand, a pure surge of blood energy flooding in.

Compared to ordinary monsters of this world, this blood energy was over ten times stronger.

I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
