"Dammit, it's an ability!"
Feeling the chilling aura emanating from the Wolf King's personal guard, Chu Xun's pupils shrank sharply. With an angry shout, he exerted all his strength, pushing the guard's head upwards.
Whoosh!
Fortunately, Chu Xun reacted quickly. The moment the guard's head was slightly pushed up, a visible, grayish-white cold air suddenly shot out from his mouth. The cold almost grazed Chu Xun's hair before it sprayed onto the ground and swept off in the direction the guard's mouth had aimed.
This freezing cold was terrifying. Even though it only brushed against his hair, Chu Xun felt as if his entire head had been frozen stiff. He couldn't help but shiver. As he did, his hair, frozen solid, cracked and shattered into icy particles that fell to the ground, leaving only a short stubble of less than half an inch.
Looking at the ice flakes falling from his head, Chu Xun couldn't help but shiver, his back drenched in cold sweat.
But now was not the time to be scared. After all, the Wolf King's personal guard wasn't dead yet. Taking a deep breath, Chu Xun grabbed the guard's neck bone and twisted it fiercely.
Crack!
With a sharp sound of breaking bones, the guard's neck was snapped. Without its last strength, the guard's body stiffened before quickly softening, losing all vitality.
"Damn, finally done with this!" After eliminating the powerful enemy, Chu Xun sighed in relief and then kicked the corpse of the guard off himself with his right foot.
Once free, Chu Xun immediately stood up, staying on alert. He had not forgotten that a number of mutated gray wolves and mutated dogs were surrounding him, ready to strike!
However, the next scene left Chu Xun's pupils constricted again, as he felt a mix of fear and shock.
Just a short distance away, the once lively mutated gray wolves and mutated dogs had all been frozen into ice sculptures, perfectly preserved in the poses they were in when they died.
Hundreds of ice sculptures now stood in place, eerily frozen, as if they were stuck in their final moments of life. It was clear that these unfortunate creatures had been affected by the Wolf King's guard's dying attack. If Chu Xun hadn't reacted in time, pushing the guard's head away, he might have become one of them.
Thinking of this, Chu Xun couldn't help but feel a shiver of fear.
"Looks like I really can't underestimate these beasts!" Shaking his head, Chu Xun pushed aside his chaotic thoughts and focused his gaze on the creature nearby. The Alien had already killed the Wolf King's guard and was now devouring its body.
However, half of the Alien's body was also covered in frost. Although it hadn't turned into an ice sculpture like the mutated wolves, its movements had slowed significantly. The frost had also cracked the Alien's usually smooth and tough exoskeleton, showing it had suffered considerable damage.
The Alien was eating the Wolf King's guard in an attempt to heal its injuries by consuming its blood and flesh, which contained life force.
"Now that the bodyguard is dead, it's time to deal with the main target!" Seeing that the Alien was fine, Chu Xun finally relaxed. He turned his attention towards the mutated dog king.
After the three Wolf King's guards were wiped out, the mutated dog king had lost its last line of defense. It was now growling, gathering the nearby mutated wolves and mutated dogs to protect itself, hoping to buy some time to recover.
"Do you think these useless creatures can stop me?" Chu Xun's eyes turned cold as he looked at the mutated dog king surrounded by wolves. With a leap, he charged straight at it!
Without the Wolf King's guards blocking him, the ordinary mutated gray wolves couldn't stop him anymore!
However, just as Chu Xun was about to break into the wolf pack and capture the mutated dog king alive, an ominous sense of danger suddenly arose in his heart. A tingle ran down his spine as if something was threatening him from behind!
"Dammit!" Chu Xun trusted his instincts deeply. Without hesitation, he pushed off the ground with his right foot and rolled to the side.
Bang!
Almost as soon as Chu Xun reacted, a loud gunshot rang out across the sky, followed by a massive bullet wrapped in flames speeding towards the exact spot where Chu Xun had just been standing.
Boom!
The bullet hit the ground with the force of an explosive shell, creating a large crater approximately half a meter in diameter. At the same time, countless chunks of earth and rock flew everywhere, hitting Chu Xun, who had just managed to regain his balance a short distance away.
"Who the hell is that?" Looking at the massive crater in the ground, Chu Xun's heart tightened, and a furious fire burned in his chest. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been blasted to pieces!
Clearly, someone was trying to kill him!
But before Chu Xun could locate the shooter, that same overwhelming sense of danger surfaced once more, making his face change dramatically. He immediately rolled to the side again.
Bang!
Boom!
Another gunshot rang out, and the ground behind Chu Xun was once again hit by a massive bullet, creating another large crater. Clearly, the person wasn't willing to let Chu Xun escape!
"You want my life?" Chu Xun had finally pinpointed the direction of the gunshots. His eyes turned red with fury as he no longer cared about the mutated dog king's fate. He charged towards the direction of the gunfire!
He had never been a "rational" person. If it wasn't for the interests at stake, he wouldn't have refused the high offer for silence and chosen to go down with the enemies. The same applied now: since they wanted to kill him, he would rather let the mutated dog king go than let that shooter get away with it!
Fueled by anger, the violent energy inside Chu Xun surged, growing stronger and stronger. His speed increased, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his perception of danger sharpened to an almost supernatural level!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the woods, gunfire continued to crackle, and flashes of flame illuminated the air as burning bullets shot out toward Chu Xun.
But now Chu Xun entered an extraordinary state. It was as though he had developed the ability to predict the trajectory of the bullets. He could sense where they were going to hit. So, all he had to do was slightly shift his body to narrowly avoid them. Several times, the flames from the bullets ignited his clothes, but he emerged unharmed, missing death by mere inches.
"What the hell is this monster?" Seeing Chu Xun darting through the bullet storm unscathed, the bounty hunter Tang Qi, who was concealed in the woods, looked increasingly grim.
He made his living by hunting mutated creatures and zombies, and when the opportunity arose, he didn't mind playing the role of assassin or robber. Like Chu Xun and the madman Chu, Tang Qi had noticed the disturbances in Satellite Town No. 4, and although he was a bit late, he had caught sight of the battle between Chu Xun and the wolf pack, as well as the nearly motionless, severely injured mutated dog king, which stirred his greed.
As a bounty hunter, Tang Qi knew the value of the mutated dog king. Without hesitation, he aimed his rifle at Chu Xun and pulled the trigger, confident that with his special ability "Ignition," a hit would be enough to pierce through even a machine.
Unfortunately, Tang Qi had underestimated Chu Xun's danger sense. Especially now, influenced by the Alien's genes, Chu Xun's perception of danger had grown so sharp that the speed of Tang Qi's modified rifle couldn't pose a serious threat.
"Dammit!" Watching Chu Xun darting between the trees, moving closer and closer, Tang Qi gritted his teeth. He threw his rifle aside and drew two pitch-black daggers from his waist, charging directly at Chu Xun.
His confidence in close combat was far greater than in his gun skills!
"Found you!" Seeing Tang Qi emerge from the trees, daggers in hand, charging at him, Chu Xun's blood-red pupils flashed with murderous intent. He swung his claws and lunged at Tang Qi's head, wanting to tear this bastard apart!
"Heh, do you really think I'm a sick cat?" Tang Qi sneered, his lips curling into a cold smile. He quickly blocked Chu Xun's sharp claws with his daggers, and sparks flew with a loud clash of metal.
Clang! Clang!
The impact sent sparks flying, and the black daggers broke into several pieces, leaving only jagged remnants. Tang Qi's expression changed dramatically as he felt a tremendous force travel through the daggers, realizing just how strong Chu Xun was.
If he hadn't let go in time, his wrist might have been crushed!
"Is this all you've got?" Chu Xun's voice was cold as he looked at Tang Qi, now retreating, his eyes flashing with a murderous glare. He took a deep breath, ready to rip this bastard apart.
"Heh, who said I only have this much?" Tang Qi suddenly grinned and snapped his fingers. "Arrogant little brat, burn to ash in the flames!"
Boom!
Just as Tang Qi finished speaking, Chu Xun suddenly felt an intense heat radiating from his body. Flames erupted from his skin, turning him into a human torch!
