28: Chapter 28 It turns out it's a tentacle monster!

The mocking words had barely left Qin Feng's mouth.

Swoosh! He suddenly felt a distorted flash of light and shadow before his eyes. In the next instant, a salty, fishy stench rushed into his nostrils along with a gust of wind, and he felt his neck being tightly coiled by something slimy and cold!

A wave of suffocation washed over him!

"Hm?"

"This is..."

Qin Feng's eyes widened.

Within his constricted pupils,

a slippery, wriggling, long, flesh-colored object gradually came into focus.

It was actually a...

Tentacle!

A massive, thick tentacle!

It came from the arm of the Young Man surnamed Chen!

No...

It should be said,

this tentacle was the arm of the Young Man surnamed Chen!

"Shit..."

"So that tentacle came from this guy. What the hell is he? A perfectly normal-looking person actually has a tentacle?"

Qin Feng suddenly understood.

At the same time, his mind was filled with confusion.

A self-proclaimed noble from the Upper City actually had a monster-like tentacle for an arm. And yet, he had the nerve to boast about his noble and pure genes?

"Hmph! Lowly Lower City trash! Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

"Provoking the scion of an Upper City elite is a violation of Canglang City's laws. I am absolutely authorized to execute you on the spot!"

At that moment,

the clean and delicate face of the Young Man surnamed Chen was etched with twisted, hideous lines.

His right hand had weirdly elongated from his suit sleeve, mutating into a thick tentacle covered in suckers. From three meters away, it wrapped directly around Qin Feng's neck.

At the tip of this tentacle,

the flesh bloomed open like a flower into three fleshy lobes.

One could see

that each lobe was covered in dense, sharp little teeth, looking like tongues that wanted to lick Qin Feng's face.

Qin Feng couldn't help but swallow hard.

If he got licked by that, his handsome face would definitely be shredded into a bloody mess.

Wait.

Hold on.

I seem to have the 'Tough Skin' skill. My entire skin, including my face, can become incredibly tough with just a thought. I don't need to fear ordinary sharp objects at all.

Well then, never mind.

Qin Feng immediately sneered,

"Impressive. So you're a tentacle monster! A person from the Upper City? An elite scion? Are you insulting the name of the Upper City? Or are you saying everyone in the Upper City is a monster like you?!"

"You..."

The Young Man surnamed Chen was momentarily stunned by the words.

Then, he became utterly enraged.

"You ignorant Lower City peasant! What monster? This is technology! This is the fleshpunk style that's currently trending in the Upper City. It represents evolution..."

"Pah! What fleshpunk? I'll give you cyberpunk! I think you're just a spy sent by the Great Beasts, specifically infiltrating us humans to do something nefarious!"

Qin Feng had never heard of fleshpunk.

In fact,

much of the high technology from the Upper City was never passed down to the Lower City.

Not even a shred of related information would trickle down.

Especially high-end and luxury Flesh Modification technology like fleshpunk. Many Upper City residents didn't even have the qualifications to make an appointment, let alone people from the Lower City.

Suddenly,

Qin Feng's ears twitched.

He heard a very heavy and powerful set of footsteps approaching the Quality Directors Office.

"Such powerful footsteps, steady as a mountain, pressing through the floor. It feels familiar; it should be that Martial Artist, Lu Yunsong."

Realizing this,

Qin Feng's already calm expression became even more relaxed.

He was now basically certain that the walnut-sized titan blood crystal—the so-called Medium Grade crystal—must be extremely valuable.

Otherwise, the Young Man surnamed Chen wouldn't have shown such a greedy and excited look the moment he entered.

Therefore...

Qin Feng was certain.

Lu Yunsong wouldn't let him die easily.

He was currently the goose that laid the golden eggs.

One golden egg,

versus many more golden eggs in the future.

Which one to choose?

Even a fool would know how to choose.

With this in mind, Qin Feng put on a show of being ready to die for a cause. He tightly hugged the glass box containing the titan blood crystal and glared at the Young Man surnamed Chen, saying:

"You tentacle monster, you must be coveting this good stuff in my hands! Fat chance! This belongs to Director Lu. Even if I die, I will protect it! I will never give this treasure to you!"

"Give up, monster!"

Being called a monster over and over by Qin Feng,

the Young Man surnamed Chen felt like he was about to cough up blood.

This damn, ignorant Lower City peasant!

How dare he slander him!

Dammit!

"I think you really have a death wish. Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you!"

A vicious and cruel expression appeared on the Young Man surnamed Chen's face.

He gritted his teeth.

He tightened the tentacle's grip.

However,

when his gaze flickered over to the walnut-sized titan blood crystal inside the glass box in Qin Feng's hand, the light in his eyes flashed, and he suddenly regained some clarity.

The tightly constricted tentacle also loosened slightly.

Shit!

The Young Man surnamed Chen cursed inwardly.

He really...

didn't dare to kill Qin Feng.

Although he looked down on Lower City people like Qin Feng, it didn't mean he didn't understand Qin Feng's value. How rare was a Lower City dissector who could extract a Medium Grade crystal?

If he really killed him,

Director Lu would definitely tear him apart on the spot.

But...

this brat's attitude was truly loathsome.

It was really infuriating.

Suddenly,

the Young Man surnamed Chen seemed to sense something.

His expression changed slightly. Although he glared at Qin Feng as if he wanted to swallow him alive, he didn't hesitate to release the tentacle, looking as if he wanted to retract it as quickly as possible.

"Oh? Sensed Director Lu coming too? This guy acts tough on the surface, but he's actually a coward, only good at posturing."

Qin Feng sneered in his heart:

"I won't let you retract that tentacle so easily."

"Get over here!"

Without any hesitation,

at that very moment,

Qin Feng reached out with a large hand.

Whoosh!

He directly grabbed the Young Man surnamed Chen's retracting tentacle.

And right then,

he opened the glass box, took out the walnut-sized titan blood crystal,

and with lightning speed, shoved it directly into the three opening and closing lobes at the tip of the tentacle.

At the same time, he shouted loudly:

"You're actually trying to steal this largest red crystal gem! No! You tentacle monster! I will never let you take it! Even if I die, I absolutely won't!"

Young Man surnamed Chen: "???"

This brat is definitely doing this on purpose!

He was just about to say something,

when suddenly,

a terrifying aura descended from behind him.

The Young Man surnamed Chen's pupils constricted.

His face instantly turned deathly pale.

A cold, sinister voice slowly echoed in his ear:

"Xiao Chen, are you really that eager to get your hands on this Medium Grade titan crystal?"

"I, I... let me explain, Director Lu..."

The Young Man surnamed Chen turned his head stiffly.

However, before the words could leave his mouth,

there was a 'squelch'!

His entire right arm tentacle was violently torn off by a terrifying force, falling to the ground, where it continued to twist and wriggle.
