604: New species of monsters

The child's actions were met with ruthless suppression.

As soon as he reached out, the woman next to him slapped him on the head.

“Wah, wah, wah…”

The child was stunned by the hit, then started throwing a tantrum and crying loudly.

Seeing this, the man who was cooking scooped a spoonful of soup with a spoon, blew on it to cool it, and then put it to the child's mouth, finally coaxing him.

Soon.

As the soup in the clay pot boiled even more, a fragrance began to permeate the forest.

Wang Chen, hiding behind a tree, smelled the scent and couldn't help but frown.

The family of three in front of him looked no different from ordinary people, but the aura of wild monsters and humans was deeply intertwined on their bodies.

Moreover…

He quietly released a Detection Skill, and the feedback he received deepened the confusion in his heart.

【Ordinary Human Male.】

【Ordinary Human Female.】

【Ordinary Human Cub.】

No abnormalities.

It was just like the feedback he received when he used a Detection Skill on ordinary people on Blue Star.

But…

“What exactly is going on here?”

“How could normal humans possess the aura of wild monsters?”

In Wang Chen's perception, the dark and evil aura on these three “creatures,” which the Detection Skill had identified as—for now—humans, was no weaker than that of a Rank 130 wild monster.

“First, let's probe the situation. Even if these three guys are dangerous, they can't threaten me.”

“Besides, judging by their appearance, their sanity doesn't seem to be affected at all. Maybe I can get some information from them.”

After pondering without result, Wang Chen decided to step out from behind the tree.

Staying in the shadows to observe was not a solution; it was better to take the initiative now.

“Hello, I am a lost…”

Walking towards the family of three, Wang Chen, with a smile, released his goodwill as they noticed him.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a hoarse roar.

“Don’t… Roar!!”

The family of three reacted very strongly when they saw him. The man among them tried to say something, but after only two words, a hoarse roar came from his throat.

The next second, his mouth split open directly, his strong body suddenly became contorted, and eerie, evil black Qi emerged from his body…

In the blink of an eye, the man who had looked perfectly normal just moments ago transformed into a hideous monster with arms dragging on the ground, a gaping maw split to his ears, and a bloodthirsty aura radiating from his entire body.

On the surface of his arms, which dragged on the ground, grotesque Devilish Runes circulated, and his scarlet eyes surged with cruelty.

It was as if he had seen food delivered right to his doorstep!

And beside him, the woman and the child also underwent the same transformation.

However, the aura emanating from them was slightly weaker than the man's.

“No…”

“Were you guys scared by me?”

Seeing this scene, even though he was still confused, Wang Chen couldn't help but retort.

He had been behind the tree just now, and this family of three was perfectly normal, but as soon as he came out, they turned into this ghostly appearance…

For the first time, Wang Chen felt a little insecure about his appearance!

To be able to scare people into becoming Nightmare Demons.

If this got out, people who didn't know might think he was a terrifying Devil King!

However…

“They look a bit more pleasing to the eye now.”

“Since you’ve already turned into Nightmare Demons, I have no psychological burden.”

Wang Chen looked at the Nightmare Demons slowly surrounding him, his expression relaxed, and he directly threw out a Detection Skill.

At this moment.

The information detected by the Detection Skill also changed with the transformation of this family of three.

【Monster: Elite Nightmare Demon (Male).】

【Rank: One Hundred Thirty-Five.】

【Combat Style: Melee.】

【Skills: Devilish Qi Impact, Charge, Nightmare Slash, Blood Burst…】

【Type: Aberrant.】

…

【Monster: Elite Nightmare Demon (Female).】

【Rank: One Hundred Thirty.】

【Combat Style: Ranged.】

【Skills: Poison Ray, Nightmare Qi Interference, Bloody War Roar, Rapid Recovery Skill…】

【Type: Aberrant.】

…

【Monster: Juvenile Nightmare Demon.】

【Rank: One Hundred Ten.】

【Combat Style: Melee.】

【Skills: Devilish Qi Impact, Charge.】

【Type: Aberrant.】

…

“Nightmare Demons?”

“The type is Aberrant?”

Seeing the information feedback from the Detection Skill, Wang Chen raised an eyebrow.

This was his first time encountering Nightmare Demons, and among the wild monster information feedback from the Detection Skill, the Aberrant type was also new to him.

In the research on wild monsters and demons on Blue Star, the types of wild monsters were divided into four categories…

Normal, Corrupted, Mutated, Undead.

No matter how strange wild monsters and demons looked, their racial types basically fell within these four categories.

But now.

A completely new type of monster has appeared.

Wang Chen felt that if this discovery were announced, it would probably make countless experts and scholars go bald again!

“Roar roar roar!!”

While he was pondering, the male Elite Nightmare Demon charged forward, swinging its long arms and launching an attack.

Swish!

His speed was extremely fast, and his Devilish Rune-covered arm instantly reached Wang Chen's face.

And at this moment, those Devilish Runes suddenly burst forth with an eerie light, carrying an invisible Mental Energy impact that struck Wang Chen's mind.

“There’s such a change?”

Wang Chen was a little surprised, but there was no fear on his face.

He merely extended one hand, and with a bang, effortlessly received the male Elite Nightmare Demon's attack, no matter how hard the male Elite Nightmare Demon struggled, it could not break free.

Then, he exerted a little force with his hand.

Bang!

The hand he had grabbed was instantly twisted and deformed, causing the male Elite Nightmare Demon to let out an agonizing howl.

“The color of the blood is wrong.”

“It's actually the same red as an ordinary person?”

Wang Chen didn't care about the Nightmare Demon's pain. He moved his feet, easily dodging the attacks of the other two Nightmare Demons, his gaze fixed on the injured hand of the male Elite Nightmare Demon.

Setting aside its grotesque appearance, one could see that the fresh blood seeping from the wound was bright red.

This was completely different from wild monsters!

Since Wang Chen's job advancement, the wild monsters he had encountered had blood that was green, some yellow, and some black…

But never once had it been this normal, bright red.

“This is rather interesting!”

“I wonder if it's just these Nightmare Demons, or if all Aberrant-type wild monsters are like this?”

Muttering to himself, Wang Chen looked at the three Nightmare Demons charging at him again, tapped his toe on the ground, and suddenly rushed out.

Swish, swish, swish!

A cold light flashed, and the three Nightmare Demons, still in their Charge posture, were decapitated.

Their headless bodies continued to rush for tens of meters before falling heavily to the ground.
