Zhuo Qianlei stared at the hideous, savage Ogre, her eyes wide with disbelief. It felt as if her entire worldview was crumbling as she muttered, "How can a monster like this exist? This isn't scientific! An Ogre? Why is there an Ogre? This can't be real!"
"Awesome cosplay! So realistic! Dude, you're a total pro!"
A young man wearing glasses on an electric scooter sped around a corner, pulling up in front of the Ogre and exclaiming in admiration.
"Huh? It stinks! Wait… could this be real?!"
The young man in glasses took a closer look and saw the blood matted onto the Ogre's body. He was hit by the stench of rot wafting from it. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted several goblin corpses on the ground, including a headless one that was still bleeding.
A bone-deep chill shot through the young man, and his entire body began to tremble. His legs wouldn't stop shaking.
The Ogre let out a savage grin and brutally smashed its large club down on the young man.
THUD!
The young man's upper body instantly burst apart, splattering across the ground in countless pieces of flesh and gore.
Shu Feng's eye twitched. He already felt he was at his limit, but he gritted his teeth and somehow forced himself to run a little faster. 'That Ogre is terrifying... so brutal! With a body like mine, I wouldn't even be able to take a single hit from its club!'
After casually bludgeoning the young man to death, a vicious glint flashed in the Ogre's eyes as it began striding after Shu Feng.
'It's so fast! It's going to catch me!'
When Shu Feng saw this, his face instantly turned deathly pale. He was already slower than the Ogre, and carrying Zhuo Qianlei made him slower still.
"Put me down! At this rate, we're both going to die! It's better if at least one of us can escape!"
Zhuo Qianlei's body trembled. Her face was deathly pale and streaked with tears, her entire being filled with Fear and Despair.
"Big Black, go stall it! Try to lead it away!"
Shu Feng commanded, gritting his teeth.
With a blur of motion, Big Black shot directly toward the Ogre.
A vicious light flashed in the Ogre's eyes. It stared intently at Big Black, its pace slowing slightly. It was a seasoned fighter and could sense that Big Black posed a slight threat.
Big Black's eyes glowed with a ferocious crimson light. It bared its sharp, steel-like fangs and let out a threatening growl, staring down the Ogre. Its combat instincts warned it that the monster was incredibly savage.
The Ogre paused for only a moment before striding toward Big Black.
Big Black blurred into motion, trying to circle around behind the Ogre.
A vicious light flashed in the Ogre's eyes as it strode in pursuit of Big Black.
Big Black ran with all its might, luring the Ogre away in another direction.
Zhuo Qianlei's eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope. "Is that your pet? It's so smart! We might be saved!"
Shu Feng remained silent, gritting his teeth as he carried Zhuo Qianlei and fled. He was afraid that if he let his focus slip for even a second, he wouldn't have the strength to carry her any longer.
But in the next moment, Zhuo Qianlei fell silent, her eyes flickering with Fear.
The Ogre was three meters tall with long arms and legs. When it broke into a sprint, its speed was astonishing. In just over a dozen strides, it caught up to Big Black and brought its club down viciously.
Big Black leaped desperately to dodge, but its lower half was still struck by the Ogre's massive club. Its two hind legs were smashed to pieces, scattering in a spray of blood and gore.
Big Black was sent flying more than ten meters. It extended the claws on its two remaining front legs and struggled to crawl forward. Shu Feng had ordered it to buy time, and it would complete its mission at all costs.
A savage glint appeared in the Ogre's eyes as it charged toward Big Black, intending to pound the Void Demon into paste.
"Nice one! Shu Feng, that Void Demon of yours is fantastic!"
The roar of a motorcycle engine echoed. Dressed in black leather with her hair tied in a single, high ponytail, the impossibly cool and heroic You Meng sped around a corner. She single-handedly raised the hand-cannon-like [Hei Ya] and fired directly at the Ogre.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
With each gunshot, blossoms of blood erupted from the Ogre's body as new holes were punched through its flesh.
A vicious glint flashed in the Ogre's eyes, which turned crimson. With a powerful swing, it sent its two-meter-long club spinning through the air toward You Meng.
Traces of cyan Spiritual Light flared around You Meng's body. Moving with incredible speed and agility, she rolled off her motorcycle.
The massive club crashed into the black motorcycle, smashing it to pieces.
You Meng landed in a roll. She took out a single bullet, quickly loaded it into the magazine, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes. Channeling her Spiritual Power, she pulled the trigger.
BOOM!
A terrifying boom echoed. A horrific hole, the size of a grown man's fist, appeared on the lower-left side of the Ogre's abdomen. A torrent of blood and chunks of viscera spewed from the wound.
The Ogre's massive body swayed, and it collapsed to the ground, its face contorted in Pain.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
You Meng quickly swapped magazines and unleashed a furious barrage at the Ogre.
More blossoms of blood erupted across the Ogre's body. Only after several more holes were punched through its skull did it finally collapse, motionless.
Still not satisfied, You Meng reloaded again, took a few steps closer, and fired a dozen more shots into the Ogre's head, riddling its skull with holes until she was finally content.
"Stay here and be careful! I'm going to go take a look."
Shu Feng's eyes lit up. He set Zhuo Qianlei down and cautiously approached the Ogre.
'That Ogre is an Extraordinary Creature; its genes must be far stronger than the Black Dog Illusion Demon's. Its Power and speed are vastly superior. If I could just get a small genetic sample...'
"Jerk!"
Zhuo Qianlei gritted her teeth and muttered as she watched Shu Feng's back. She then sat quietly, her mind reeling. Everything that had just happened was simply too much to process.
"Acquired 5 Pure Soul Power and 0.01 Divine Power."
A notification sound echoed in Shu Feng's mind as soon as he reached the Ogre's side.
'Divine Power? What's that? It sounds pretty high-class.'
Shu Feng paused for a moment. Though he didn't know what Divine Power was, he had a vague sense that it was an absolutely extraordinary type of Power.
"Shu Feng, you did good this time! Come over and take a picture for me!"
You Meng planted a foot on the Ogre's corpse, snapped a couple of selfies, then waved Shu Feng over.
