67: Chapter 67 Getting Old

Lin Sheng wanted to run, but the enraged monster wouldn't just let him go.

Under the dual enhancement of gravity and Electromagnetic Force, the monster erupted with a speed far exceeding Lin Sheng's.

A giant body fifty thousand meters tall blocked Lin Sheng's path; compared to it, Lin Sheng was like a house mouse facing a human.

The monster only needed to stretch out its giant claw, and Lin Sheng had nowhere to hide.

Under the pressure of gravity, Lin Sheng's speed simply couldn't increase.

He could only watch helplessly as his body was seized by the monster's claw.

Lifting Lin Sheng before its face, the madness in the monster's eyes slowly receded, but its bloodlust remained.

Lin Sheng lowered his head; it stared at him, its eyes overflowing with thick mockery.

Lin Sheng slowly raised his head.

The moment his pale gold eyes met the monster's four yellow eyes, the creature suddenly felt a pang of trepidation.

It had been frightened by Lin Sheng.

But after coming to its senses, the monster felt another surge of rage.

This was already the second time.

Today was already the second time it had been frightened by this Little Things, Lin Sheng.

This situation made it feel as though it had suffered a great humiliation.

“...”

The monster opened its mouth wide and let out an angry roar at Lin Sheng. Although sound cannot travel in a vacuum, the intense vibrations were transmitted through the monster's claw to Lin Sheng's body, and a numbing sensation instantly spread through his entire being.

Lin Sheng's body shrank back slightly.

Although he had become a prisoner, Lin Sheng did not just sit and wait for death.

He feigned terror and opened his mouth wide; while the monster was gloating, a cloud of grayish-white mist was suddenly spat out by Lin Sheng from his mouth.

Although the monster was entirely shrouded in gray smoke, making it impossible to see what was inside.

But earlier, when Lin Sheng's consciousness was at the Boundary between the Light and Dark Sides, the smoke on the monster's body hadn't been so thick; Lin Sheng had caught a glimpse that within the smoke, the monster possessed a physical body.

And Lin Sheng had also learned from Omniscience that this monster was a Carbon-based lifeform.

Therefore, the Anti-Life Equation would be effective against it.

The grayish-white mist struck the monster directly in the face; though the monster was distracted, its reactions were not slow.

Upon sensing the danger from the grayish-white mist, the gray smoke enveloping its body had already moved to block it.

However, the monster underestimated the power of the Anti-Life Equation.

The gray smoke failed to provide an effective barrier; out of necessity, the monster leaned back while thrusting its other arm in front of its face.

The moment the Anti-Life Equation touched the monster's arm, the gray smoke—so dense it seemed solid—began to dissolve at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A small "smoke vacuum" appeared on the monster's arm. Lin Sheng saw that on the monster's grayish-black limb, several thick, long black Tentacles were drifting freely.

Seeing those few Tentacles exposed on its arm, a hint of struggle flashed in the monster's eyes.

The surrounding gray smoke quickly filled the gap, and the monster turned its gaze back to Lin Sheng.

Seeing the monster's gaze turn toward him again, Lin Sheng didn't panic at all.

From the monster's behavior, he had already gathered a lot of information.

And the most important piece was that this monster was unwilling to expose those Tentacles on its body.

By utilizing this point, Lin Sheng could completely escape the monster's clutches.

Lin Sheng gave it a try.

The next moment, an endless amount of grayish-white mist gushed out from his mouth, from beneath his scales, from his eyes, and from every pore of his body.

The mist instantly dissolved the gray smoke on the claw the monster was using to hold Lin Sheng; once the smoke was worn away, a slender, terrifying claw was revealed.

The claw was also covered in black Tentacles, though compared to the monster's massive body, these Tentacles seemed somewhat insignificant.

The monster's claw was surrounded by the Anti-Life Equation. Although its intuition told it that this cloud of grayish-white mist was extremely dangerous, the monster trusted its own claw more.

Its claw began to exert force, intending to crush Lin Sheng directly.

But in the next moment.

The monster suddenly felt that its claw was slipping from its control.

Its four eyes widened abruptly, staring in disbelief at the hand enveloped in the grayish-white mist.

Through the grayish-white mist, the monster could see that its claw was slowly undergoing a change.

This change was as if...

The claw was growing old!

Realizing this, the monster immediately switched Lin Sheng to its other claw.

However, this desperate, haphazard approach not only failed to restrain Lin Sheng but also caused damage to its other claw.

After being placed in the other claw, Lin Sheng released the Anti-Life Equation once more.

This time, Lin Sheng used an even greater amount than before.

Because Lin Sheng had just discovered that while the Anti-Life Equation was effective, the effect wasn't very pronounced.

Therefore, he increased the dosage this time.

The grayish-white mist, so dense it was almost solid, enveloped the monster's claw, and the gray smoke on the claw was quickly dissolved.

At this moment, the monster no longer had time to worry about Lin Sheng.

Because in its perception, the claw that had just aged slightly was actually becoming somewhat uncontrollable!

Taking this opportunity, the black Tentacles on the claw began to spread frantically.

Seeing this, a flash of ruthlessness crossed the monster's eyes.

Gritting its teeth, the gray smoke condensed behind it into a sharp, tail-like appendage.

The tip of the appendage was incredibly sharp. Clenching its teeth, the monster swung the appendage, and its two claws were suddenly severed.

Lin Sheng was startled by the monster's decisive action. Since the monster's gravitational field and electromagnetic field were still pressing down on him, Lin Sheng hadn't run very far, which was why he witnessed the monster's behavior.

After severing its own claws, the monster had gone completely insane.

Gray smoke erupted frantically from its wounds, and two giant claws condensed from the gray mist were formed in the blink of an eye; Lin Sheng didn't doubt the sharpness of those claws for a second.

The monster's figure caught up to the fleeing Lin Sheng almost in an instant. The tail-like appendage behind it whipped out suddenly, piercing right through Lin Sheng in front of it.

The pain from his abdomen made Lin Sheng's mouth twitch. Grayish-white mist erupted frantically around him, but for some reason, the Anti-Life Equation failed to dissolve the gray smoke this time.

"System, what's going on?"
