Chapter 217: Chapter 216: Worm of Erosion (Part 6)_1
“Don’t look that way.”
Fu Qian lowered his head and quickly moved toward Sister Ox-head’s direction, paying no mind to whether the two could keep up.
Soon, the figures of people around them became denser.
And it wasn’t just students; Fu Qian saw a variety of attire, so the counselors were likely among them.
Following the roars, each person was holding their head with both hands, trying to pick it like a radish.
Crack! Crack!
The force was so great that Fu Qian seemed to hear the crisp sound of neck vertebrae being pulled.
Under such torment, many necks already bore large patches of bruised bloodstains, yet everyone seemed oblivious.
All the people showed no reaction to him passing by.
It’s about time.
At that moment, the roaring sounded closer; Sister Ox-head was only about a dozen meters away.
There was already a faint smell of blood in the air.
He stopped in his tracks and swiftly turned around.
That’s when Fu Qian finally raised his head to face the direction they had come from.
Liu Yi and the other person were clearly more cooperative than before.
They almost stared at the ground, not daring to look up, following closely.
Meanwhile, the Two-Person Six-Legged Monster was swiftly chasing after the two.
“Hey! Hello, Doctor.”
Fu Qian, timing it right, greeted the monster.
Alas, the latter merely paused for a moment, quickly glancing over before turning its head back, still fixated on the original target in pursuit.
Instead, the surrounding groups stirred.
“I checked online before I came; my illness is probably incurable!”
Seeing the monster’s hatred somewhat unstable, Fu Qian added another line.
Roar!
Almost instantly, Fu Qian saw a hideous face.
Its eyes bulging, the corners tearing, the monster stared intently at him as well as Sister Ox-head who was in the same line of sight.
The next moment, accompanied by another heart-wrenching howl, the monster’s six legs simultaneously exerted force, lifting its body off the ground and pouncing in his direction.
At the same time, a deep roar also rose from behind.
At such a close distance, in a flash, Fu Qian felt his limbs go numb, almost disconnecting from his body.
At this moment, the monster in the air also shuddered, its body suddenly becoming stiff.
Controlling his two rigid legs to sidestep, Fu Qian barely avoided the pounce.
The next moment, the monster that landed did not make any further moves but just stared blankly in the direction behind Fu Qian.
Nailed it! Sister Ox-head rules!
Lucky she still had a head, otherwise it really would have been troublesome.
As it turned out, Sister Ox-head’s strength was bizarre and extraordinary; even this creature wasn’t immune.
Taking a deep breath, Fu Qian watched the creature while striving with all his might to regain control of his body.
The next moment, the monster’s arms reached out to the sides of its face, letting out a roar at the same time.
It must be said, this roar sounded much better than the previous ones.
Simultaneously, a uniform roar resounded throughout the surrounding area.
Fu Qian could almost picture the effort those people made to pluck their heads off.
But after all, arms have limited strength, and it was somewhat difficult to snap their heads off so cleanly.
Crack!
As it turned out, the Six-Legged Monster was not an ordinary person.
With a spurt of blood, the roaring came to an abrupt halt.
This creature had indeed plucked its head off its neck and held it high in the air.
Because it was so close, Fu Qian saw it especially clearly.
Under the unimaginable monstrous strength, the entire head had already been severely deformed, resembling a deflated basketball.
And most important of all, at the severed neck, there appeared to be a brain, snow-white in color.
As he wondered, he saw the “brain” shiver and stretch out in all directions.
That was not a brain at all. The reason it looked as though it had the structure of cerebral gyri was because it was made up of over twenty curved bones wrapped together.
At this moment, these deformed bones were spreading out like a peacock’s tail, constantly swaying from side to side, struggling to break free.
Regrettably, it seemed to no avail; the head held in hand had already started to emit a roar, sounding even higher in decibels than before.
Ah!
Thanks to Fu Qian’s warning just now, Liu Yi, from beginning to end, had almost only dared to keep her eyes fixed on this monster.
If the scene of the head being plucked off had seemed bizarre and bloody to her, then the subsequent brain fanning out was nothing short of a devastating blow.
After screaming, she simply knelt down and began to dry heave.
Damn!
The person in the black T-shirt beside her fared a bit better, having faced it up close before, but the sight before them still made them involuntarily curse.
“Let’s go!”
Without giving both people the time to adjust their emotions, Fu Qian took the lead, making a beeline for the library.
It was hard to say if Sister Ox-head would definitely be able to trap that thing, not a second to waste.
And indeed, the potential of humans is infinite.
Seeing Fu Qian leave, not only did the person in the black T-shirt follow immediately, but even Liu Yi struggled to her feet as well.
Both even remembered the instructions Fu Qian had given them, always blocking their line of sight, not looking at the situation where Sister Ox-head was.
Quickly, Fu Qian had already reached the steps in front of the library.
From this position, one could see that inside it was completely deserted, not a single person in sight within the range of vision.
The persuasiveness of Sister Ox-head was terrifying to such an extent.
After glancing at the floor map at the entrance, Fu Qian didn’t linger, heading straight upstairs.
The dense fog outside was undoubtedly brewing an incomprehensible crisis, and although everyone had been called out for now, what would happen later was entirely uncertain.
Places like reading rooms, with too much openness, were not suitable hiding spots.
And the upper floors, if an uncontrollable situation arose later, evacuation could be a problem.
Recalling the floor map he had just seen, Fu Qian quickly found the office area on the fourth floor.
Moving with great speed, he tried doors down the hallway and successfully found one that was unlocked, and he pushed the door open and entered.
In fact, even if they were all locked, it wouldn’t be a problem for Fu Qian to pick the locks using a hairpin or a steel hoop.
At this moment, Liu Yi and the others had arrived almost simultaneously.
Fu Qian didn’t speak, simply gestured for the two to come in and casually closed the door behind them.
Turning around, Fu Qian noticed that both of them were still breathing very calmly.
The distance wasn’t too far nor too close, plus the breathless climb to the fourth floor, and yet they weren’t even gasping, which wasn’t quite at the level of typical college students.
It could only be said that these two had also become a bit abnormal.
Just like himself.
“Did that thing follow us?”
Liu Yi instinctively glanced behind her and asked the person in the black T-shirt with a mix of alarm and doubt.
“It shouldn’t have. I closed the glass door on the first floor when I entered.”
The latter shook their head.
“If it had broken in, we would have definitely heard the glass door shatter.”
“That’s good!”
Liu Yi let out a long breath.
“What’s your name?”
The next moment, Fu Qian, with an expressionless face, stared at the person in the black T-shirt and suddenly asked.
