564: A learning monster
Everyone was stunned; the monster before them had surpassed their understanding!
The experts could all feel how strong the monster was, yet it possessed none of the Aura a powerhouse should have; its power was almost indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person.
Whether it was limb strength, bodily energy, or physical power, it was no different from the most ordinary farmer, and in some aspects, it was even inferior to a farmer—for instance, its physique... the muscular strength of this guy was not even as good as an ordinary person who did manual labor regularly.
However, its bodily functions, powerful regenerative abilities, and those terrifying energy beams were simply like a bug in the system.
After the monster reattached its ankle, it suddenly spread the five fingers of its right hand. Its fingers instantly lit up, and then golden rays of light began to sweep across the crowd like rain.
"This beam can also attack in an area?"
Tang Xian was startled and immediately took to the sky using Moonwalk. He once again pulled out various parts from his belt and began to assemble them...
In the short time it took him to get closer, the soldiers were unable to dodge in time; many had been struck by the beams and were severely injured, and some had even been hit directly in the center of their bodies by the beams and were instantly vaporized...
"Damn it... everyone, dodge!"
Tang Xian roared, and the firearm in his hand had transformed into a massive, square, shoulder-mounted rocket launcher. Seeing that everyone had retreated after his shout, he immediately pulled the trigger and fired a shot directly at the monster's chest.
This shot did not contain a projectile but was a thick beam of light similar to the monster's, except the energy intensity of this beam far exceeded that of the move the monster had used...
That's right, the monster's beam power was not strong, but it possessed a strange attribute. For ordinary people or even ordinary martial cultivators, it meant instant death. Even against those with powerful strength, it could unreasonably seal all of their energy, regardless of their attributes.
But in terms of beam intensity alone... it could not compare to the weapon in Tang Xian's hands.
Boom!
The beam, carrying immense impact and energy, shot right through the monster...
Blood dripped down, and within its chest cavity, one could actually see bones, muscles, and half a heart that was still beating...
The terrifying wound was several meters in diameter, and various organs were visible. Based on Tang Xian's knowledge, he could conclude that this guy's body structure was indistinguishable from a human's.
"Hmph... it must be some kind of biological weapon. If that's the case, then it has something to do with Darwin..."
Watching the massive wound healing again, he couldn't help but look up at the huge hole in the sky. Within that hole, he could feel more than one pair of eyes staring in this direction.
"Awoo!"
The monster finally let out a howl that sounded both painful and excited. The instant its wound healed, its body twisted to the limit; its upper torso turned 180 degrees backward, and then it swung its shoulder fiercely, slapping Tang Xian.
Boom!
Tang Xian didn't even have a chance to react before he was sent flying like a meteor, not stopping until his entire body had crashed through two mountain peaks.
"Pfft... I... holy crap..."
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Tang Xian felt as if his internal organs had been displaced. After spitting out a few more mouthfuls, he finally recovered. He raised the weapon in his hand, only to find it had long since been smashed into scrap metal by that slap.
"The high-energy beam is the most powerful weapon I can currently use. If even this can't deal with that thing, then I have no other options..."
Frowning slightly and wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he suddenly saw several familiar figures appearing beside the monster, which eased his heart significantly. He then took another backpack from his belt and strapped it on; it was none other than the Falcon's flight backpack from "Captain America"!
Choosing a tricky angle, he flew silently toward the large hole in the sky.
"This monster... what kind of thing is it?"
Shi Jingmo hovered beside Hasgard and asked in a deep voice.
"There's no time to explain. Do you have any way to deal with this thing? The power of this creature is really... a bit too terrifying!"
Hasgard smiled bitterly, "Even if I use the Power Law, I can't destroy this thing!"
"We've already used our power of Law, and we've also deployed technological weapons, but they have absolutely no effect!"
Great Immortal Zhenyuan said in a deep voice, "This thing doesn't look like a naturally occurring organism; it looks more like some kind of artificially created monster!"
On this side, the people who had returned from Kunlun had already charged toward the monster under the leadership of Sun Wukong and the others.
Their combat power was many times stronger than before, so when they attacked, they treated this monster as a practice target for their Laws. Having gained the experience of fighting that Pseudo-Saint earlier, their combat skills were now much more refined. Only the Scorpion Demon had not charged up yet; instead, she came to the side of her Master, Arhat Jiang Long, and began to revert to her original form to channel energy into his body.
Arhat Jiang Long sat cross-legged on the ground, his left hand resting on the giant scorpion pincer. A warm current was continuously transmitted into his body, gradually expelling the alien energy that was like maggots attached to his bones. After a long while, he finally recovered a little and sighed, "Good disciple, don't waste your energy; go up and help them deal with this monster!"
"Master, now is not the time for me to go up. Besides, the Law I have comprehended is the Energy Law. Basically, as long as I don't die, my energy is inexhaustible, so don't worry. You heal your wounds first; once you are healed, you will be a major combat force!"
Jueyi said solemnly.
"Energy Law? Hehe, excellent, excellent. With you here, there is no need to worry about everyone's energy being depleted!"
Arhat Jiang Long laughed.
At this moment, Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang, Pigsy's rake, and Erlang Shen's Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade were taking turns striking the monster. However, it seemed to have learned from its mistakes and no longer used its body to take attacks head-on. Instead, it dodged in the sky with agile footwork, occasionally using its fingers to release beams for counterattacks. Although its body was huge, it was not clumsy at all; on the contrary, it was very light and flexible. The beams from its hands swept back and forth, and it actually played them in different ways: sometimes long beams sweeping back and forth, sometimes short beams attacking continuously like a machine gun, and some were like scissors, with two beams sweeping and cutting off mountain peaks...
The others who had just returned used various methods to besiege it, and of course, they also used the various Laws they had just mastered.
However, even if this monster was injured, it would recover at an extremely fast speed.
Arhat Jiang Long frowned slightly and immediately said something to the Scorpion Demon, Jueyi. Jueyi hesitated for a moment, then immediately stopped channeling energy to Dragon Subduing Arhat and flew up into the sky instead.
