601: Cocoon of the gap

Chapter 601: gap cocoon

Hearing Thrace’s words, Ye Zian’s heart tightened, and he abruptly looked up, but his hands didn’t stop, quickly reloading his ammunition.

Black mud surged, and this time, the black mud was even larger than before.

At the same time, black mud of the previous scale accompanied it all around.

“This makes me feel like I’m playing a game…” Ye Zian couldn’t help but complain. Clear the mobs, then the BOSS, right?

Then, he saw five Scarecrows appear around him, and from the large black mud, a new Evil Demon emerged.

“It’s what we call a Blade Demon,” Thrace said from behind.

As the name suggested, the Blade Demon before him was just like its name; it was taller than a Scarecrow, about 1.7 meters in height.

Its body was still made of the characteristic black mud-like substance of Evil Demons, and its face had only one red eye.

Its right hand was a claw-like hand, while its left hand was entirely a blade.

Its feet were “conical.”

Its overall appearance looked a bit strange.

The next moment, the Blade Demon suddenly leaped towards Ye Zian at an extremely fast speed, its blade-like arm smashing down fiercely.

Ye Zian quickly drew out the “Flowing Flame” from his back.

Clang!

The Blade Demon’s blade arm struck the blade of “Flowing Flame,” creating a spark.

Ye Zian’s arm muscles tensed. The Blade Demon’s strength was considerable; if he hadn’t trained well these past few days, he probably would have lost his grip instantly.

After blocking the attack, Ye Zian immediately drew his gun and fired.

The barrel of the Black Rhino spewed fire, and the bullet accurately struck the Blade Demon’s chest.

With a bang, the Blade Demon was sent stumbling backward by the shot.

Before Ye Zian could pursue, several Scarecrows around him had already leaped towards him.

Raise gun, aim, shoot—all in one smooth motion.

At this moment, Ye Zian’s concentration was highly focused, perfectly demonstrating the effectiveness of his training over these past days.

The three Scarecrows that had leaped over were accurately shot in the head by him.

The Scarecrows’ bodies fell backward, dropping from the air.

The remaining two Scarecrows rapidly rushed towards him.

Hmph! Scarecrows? Mere cannon fodder!

I am no longer the me who was chased by you!

Now, I am invincible!!!

Ye Zian suddenly swung “Flowing Flame.”

Pfft—!

He vertically split one Scarecrow with a single slash, then kicked away the other.

The strength of a Scarecrow isn't actually much greater than that of a normal male.

Of course, it’s still a bit stronger, but with their simple minds, in reality, besides being a bit durable, a normal male holding a weapon can solve a Scarecrow 1v1 without much problem.

Although Scarecrows rarely appear alone, they always come in groups when they do.

The Blade Demon attacked Ye Zian again, swinging its blade fiercely down at him.

Clang!

Ye Zian blocked the Blade Demon’s attack with his horizontal blade. He put away the “Black Rhino” and took out “Incinerating Howl.”

“Feel the power of technology!” Ye Zian raised his hand and fired a close-range shotgun blast.

Boom!!!

Flames erupted.

A terrifying force directly impacted the Blade Demon’s chest.

The intense flames instantly engulfed it, and the powerful impact sent it flying backward.

The Blade Demon flew over ten meters before falling to The Ground and sliding, revealing a large missing section on its chest, with a red, “lava-like” color, clearly seared by extreme heat.

With a puff, the Blade Demon exploded directly, dissipating into black mist.

One-shot kill!

It must be said that although “Incinerating Howl” only has one bullet, its power is indeed incredibly fierce!

Dealing with the remaining four Scarecrows was simply effortless for Ye Zian.

Soon, he had dealt with all of them.

“Boss! I did pretty well, didn’t I?” After finishing, Ye Zian turned to Thrace and said with a happy smile on his face.

After all, this was his first actual combat! And he had already taken down so many Scarecrows and one Blade Demon.

At the same time, although he was turning his head to speak, his hands were quickly reloading ammunition, and his peripheral vision was still directed towards the [gap cocoon], fearing that something else might go wrong.

“Well done! Excellent! However, you are about to face your final test! Good luck!” Thrace said to Ye Zian with a smile, clapping his hands vigorously.

“Huh?” Ye Zian hadn’t reacted to Thrace’s words when the [gap cocoon] changed again.

A huge mass of black mud appeared in front of it.

Gurgling, the black mud continuously surged, and Ye Zian could clearly feel a nauseating, foul aura emanating from it.

Ye Zian could tell with his gut that a BOSS battle was about to begin.

Gurgle, gurgle~

Amidst the surging black mud, a creature at least two meters tall crawled out.

“This Evil Demon is called a Giant Body Demon, usually known for its enormous body and powerful strength,” Thrace explained to Ye Zian from the side.

The creature, over two meters tall, had black and red flesh on its body, with thick muscles; its arms felt as thick as Ye Zian himself.

It had only one giant cyclops eye and a mouth full of sharp teeth that stretched across half its face.

This was the Giant Body Demon Thrace spoke of.

“My, my, your luck doesn’t seem to be very good; a simple mission somehow got you an SR among the simple ones,” Thrace said with some schadenfreude from the side.

“…” Ye Zian gave Thrace no reply; he was staring intently at the monster before him.

The Giant Body Demon suddenly charged towards Ye Zian.

Boom~ Boom~ Boom~

As it ran, The Ground trembled slightly, like a giant tank, crashing through everything.

Its thick arms, short but powerful-looking fingers, and broad palms looked like giant fans.

Ye Zian’s “sixth sense” was blaring wildly; if he were directly hit by the Giant Body Demon… he would surely die on the spot.

Ye Zian immediately ran to the side, simultaneously raising the “Black Rhino” in his hand and firing two shots at the Giant Body Demon.

Puff~ Puff~

Ye Zian clearly saw the bullets he fired enter the Giant Body Demon’s body, but they only penetrated a few centimeters before being clamped by its terrifying muscles.

Then, they were quickly “expelled” from its body.

Clink~ The bullets fell to The Ground.

Seeing this, Ye Zian decisively put away the “Black Rhino.”

It simply couldn’t penetrate!

Unfortunately, he had no magic power, so he couldn't activate the “magic power” form of the Black Rhino; the bullets he fired were merely ordinary bullets.

Otherwise, with the performance of the “Black Rhino,” Ye Zian felt that it would certainly be able to inflict damage on the Giant Body Demon.

Is it normal for me, a dignified “Demon Hunter,” to have no magic power? Ye Zian couldn’t help but wonder.

Then, under a sudden premonition, he instinctively made a diving roll.

Boom!!!

The Giant Body Demon landed heavily on his original position.
