Chapter 393: Chapter 393 The Sudden Arrival of Zhang Jin Hua

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

If this continued as it was, the Thousand Eyed Devil would probably bleed to death soon.

Judging from how its wounds were doing, its regenerative ability was way too weak.

It couldn’t be helped. From a certain perspective, the Dust World was decently fair to these monsters.

As a Three-Star Terror Creature, the Thousand Eyed Devil had an immensely powerful hallucination attack. One could even say that any other Three-Star Terror Creature without the means to resist its hallucinations could easily be killed by it if the opportunity presented itself.

With such a powerful hallucination attack, it was only natural that it was weaker in other aspects.

Otherwise, this Thousand Eyed Devil would be a little too powerful.

While Xiao Bei was throwing out daggers for time to time and using his spear to create more and more wounds on the its body, a sharp cry for help rang out.

“Help! Help! ”

Wei Xiao Bei was distracted for a moment and his body that was mid-jump was accidentally hit by a tentacle. He was immediately blown dozens of meters away like a golf ball and smashed into a stretch of mud by the lakeside.

Xiao Bei struggled to get up from the mud.

This bit of damage was nothing at all to him.

What confused him was the fact that the cry for help was a very familiar voice.

[Precise Calculation] activate! [Retentive Memory] activate!

Xiao Bei’s mind started running at a very high speed and soon a memory fragment had been extracted from his countless memories.

So it was her?

A bitter smile appeared on Xiao Bei’s face.

He finally remembered.

It was the girl he had met when he rode the plane from Hawaii back to Cui Hu- Zhang Jin Hua!

Yup, that girl with a slight crush on him.

Of course, just judging from the looks alone, Zhang Jin Hua was not Xiao Bei’s type.

It wasn’t that she was too ugly, but that she looked way too flirtatious and liked to pile on too much makeup on her face. It made it look as if she was a call girl leaning by a telephone pole.

It wasn’t as if Xiao Bei discriminated against call girls. After all, they were also making an honest living. It’s just that its a slightly illegal line of work.

However, Zhang Jin Hua did look like a girl like that to Xiao Bei.

In all honesty, he preferred more innocent and pure girls like Zhu Xin Yi. Or someone as sweet as Zhang Tian Tian, or even someone as handsome and cool as Li Lan Xing.

One had to admit, the energy that a girl could find in a moment of crisis was not something that ordinary people would expect.

Wei Xiao Bei looked into the distance and saw Zhang Jin Hua running furiously barefoot from the old rental street, a mass of black beetles chasing after her.

It was obvious that the girl was terrified. She didn’t even notice the Thousand Eyed Devil standing by the lakeside.

Though many of its eyes had been poked out by Xiao Bei, the rest of them were still releasing a blinding and eye-catching yellow light.

The fact that this girl had somehow managed to not notice that made her a genius of some sort.

The reason behind this was fairly simple. If you don’t notice the yellow light being released by the Thousand Eyed Devil, it would have a hard time affecting you.

The only problem was that the yellow light was so blinding that it was hard to not notice it.

Xiao Bei took a glance at Zhang Jin Hua. The speed of the beetles was very slow. With how fast and desperately Zhang Jin Hua was running, the beetles would not be able to catch up to her before she reached the lakeside as long as she didn’t trip.

As such, Xiao Bei ignored the screaming girl for now. He lifted the spear in his right hand and charged at the lake. He waved his hand and another T-rex dagger flew out of his hand, shooting straight at the Thousand Eyed Devil, once again taking another one of its eyes.

Affected by the attacks of the dagger, the Thousand Eyed Devil’s tentacles immediately surged toward the direction it had come from. Wei Xiao Bei stepped on the surface of the lake and whirled past the water like a dragonfly. He appeared beside it in the blink of an eye and stabbed forward with the spear in his right hand. The spear trembled slightly and a muffled explosion rang out. Its body shivered and another hole appeared where an eye had been.

At this point in the battle, the Thousand Eyed Devil seemed to have gone berserk as well. Its tentacles were smashing everywhere recklessly, forcing Xiao Bei to retreat. Otherwise, he might just get unlucky and be hit by one of those tentacles.

However, what he never expected was for the tentacles to dive into the lake after forcing him back to the shore. The tentacles quickly applied some force, and it leaped into the water like a flea and turned to escape.

Did it run?

The Thousand Eyed Devil ran?

Xiao Bei couldn’t help but be stunned. This was something he had never expected.

The way that it had behaved in the battle before this gave him the impression that it had no intelligence. However, the next instant, the Thousand Eyed Devil gave Xiao Bei a good lesson by slapping him across the face.

What was cunning?! This was it!

The Thousand Eyed Devil was now trying to escape the lakeside. Unfortunately, the depth of the water by the lakeside was not enough to contain all of its tentacles, causing its speed to be greatly decreased.

However, if it made it to deeper waters, it only needed to dive downward and Xiao Bei would have an exponentially harder time getting rid of it.

There was no doubt that the lake was its domain.

Escape?

Not that easy!

Xiao Bei had now found a piece of rotten wood. He stepped on the wood and pressed his spear against the bottom of the water. The wood then shot toward the Thousand Eyed Devil as if it was a raft.

Xiao Bei could not walk on water for extended periods. That required high speed and exhausted a lot of stamina. He would fall into the water if he even slowed down slightly.

As such, he stepped on a piece of wood instead. It was much simpler and could save a lot more strength.

It started to panic when it saw Xiao Bei catch up. The yellow light from the rest of its eyes turned brighter and more intense. Xiao Bei even suspected that staring into these yellow lights at close range would blind the enemy instead of causing them to hallucinate.

If the Thousand Eyed Devil had unleashed its yellow light at this level from the very start, it might have been able to cause some trouble for Xiao Bei.

However, now, with [Indomitable Spirit], Xiao Bei had completely gotten used to the hallucinatory effects of the yellow light. He also shut his eyes and used [Response Search] to observe the enemy instead. This completely bypassed the illusory effect that it was expending great amounts of energy to create.

It would probably cough up blood and die on the spot if it knew what was happening right now.

Since its greatest trump card was completely useless against Wei Xiao Bei, it wasn’t hard to imagine the situation it was in.

The thousands of tentacles split apart and descended upon Xiao Bei like a giant net.

However, not a trace of worry could be seen on his face. His body fell forward and his arms extended before he hit the water. Much like a spider, he started using all of his limbs to row against the water.

Using the buoyancy of the wood, Xiao Bei successfully moved through the water. Like a swift arrow, he passed by the net of tentacles and got close to the Thousand Eyed Devil. Just then, his hands struck against the lake with plenty of force and his entire body shot up toward it like a cannonball.

The spear appeared in front of him, sharp and sturdy.

Pu chi! The sound of flesh being pierced rang out and half of the spear went into its body. Xiao Bei shook the spear with his hands slightly.

The tremoring head of the spear instantly created a massive hole in the Thousand Eyed Devil.

The next moment, Xiao Bei went forward and made the wound three meters deeper than it was before.

By the time his body’s momentum was gone, he was stuck in a pool of minced flesh.

He thought for a moment and believed that he had entered the body of the Thousand Eyed Devil.

[Response Search]!

What shocked Xiao Bei was the fact that after activating [Response Search], he could only see no more than three meters beyond himself.

This undoubtedly meant that the flesh of the Thousand Eyed Devil had some mysterious power that allowed it to stop the effects of his [Response Search].

At the same time, Xiao Bei could feel his exposed skin being constantly corroded by some corrosive force.

Its blood was corrosive. This wasn’t beyond his expectations.

Still, Xiao Bei wasn’t worried at all. The corrosive power of the Thousand Eyed Devil was still a little too weak. Compared to his regenerative power, it was like heaven and earth. The regenerative power would heal his skin before it had been fully corroded.

Judging from its movements, its was now heading toward the depths of the lake.

Xiao Bei wasn’t worried about any dangerous places that the Thousand Eyed Devil could go. He put the spear in his storage bag and took out the hard metal jian.

At this moment, he was like Sun Wukong when he entered the belly of the Iron Fan Princess. His hard metal jian flashed with blue electricity as he smashed the more untouched pieces of flesh.

Beng!

All the flesh that came into contact with the weapon became scorched in an instant, losing their original elasticity. The hard metal jian then smashed the burnt flesh to pieces.

The pain of having its insides carved up caused it to leap up and crash into the water once again, even though it had been preparing to dive to the bottom of the lake.

Zhang Jin Hua had now arrived by the lakeside.

This meant that she was safe for the moment.

There were over seven or eight hundred meters between her and the slow black beetles now.

The water that came from the crashing Devil falling back into the lake splashed onto her, instantly drawing her attention.

Motherfucker!

What was that monster!

Zhang Jin Hua’s vision was drawn toward it and she was instantly shocked.
