Chapter 1046
Gadi: What kind of hellish place is this?!
Gadi looked at the two people in front of him, a hint of confusion flashing in his yellow "spatial eye".
It had just trapped its prey with a barrier and hadn't even had a chance to begin its hunt, but the two tiny figures opposite it showed no fear whatsoever. The man in the ordinary coat was slowly pulling out a series of gleaming weapons from his backpack: an assembled rocket launcher, a sniper rifle with an extended barrel, and even a few glittering grenades. The humanoid warrior in the blue armor lightly touched the ground with his feet and nimbly leaped left and right, easily dodging the tentacles he had unconsciously swung out. His movements were so fast that they almost left afterimages.
This feeling was very unfamiliar to Gadi.
In the past, when it hunted, the prey would either flee in panic or collapse to the ground in fright. Never before had it felt so uncomfortable, as if it were the prey being targeted.
Cui Ming hoisted the assembled rocket launcher onto his shoulder, a cold smile playing on his lips.
The barrier of Gadi? Tentacles? Crimson rays? In his eyes, these were all too "simple".
In the endless cycle of the EDF world, he has seen monsters ten or a hundred times more terrifying than Gadi—some can summon giant ant armies, some can spit out spider silk that corrodes everything, and some can even travel freely in the universe and destroy a planet with a flick of their wrist.
In comparison, this Gadi in front of us, who can only fight alone and has no helpers, is practically a "beginner's dungeon" level.
He doesn't even need to consciously think about tactics; his muscle memory has already started working.
Seeing Gadi's tentacles swing down again, Cui Ming instinctively dodged to the side, while simultaneously raising his hand to fire at the joints of the tentacles with his mini Gatling gun—the most vulnerable part of the monster's limbs, a lesson he had learned from countless battles.
The bullets struck precisely, and Gadi's tentacles trembled instantly. Although they weren't interrupted, they slowed its movements by half a beat.
"Cui, to the left!" Miyuki's voice came. After transforming into Tekkaman, she was not only faster, but her perception was also greatly enhanced.
She keenly noticed that Gadi's giant horns were beginning to turn red and immediately warned Cui Ming to take cover.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a crimson beam of destruction shot out from the corner of Gadi. Cui Ming had already anticipated the trajectory of the attack, and with a roll, he dodged behind the wreckage of a roller coaster. The beam struck the wreckage, instantly blasting it into pieces.
Cui Ming peeked out from behind the wreckage, nodded to Miyuki, then raised his sniper rifle and aimed at the yellow "space eye".
He knew that the eyes were the weak point of most monsters; even if he couldn't penetrate them directly, he could still disrupt their vision.
With a "bang," the bullet whistled out and accurately hit Gadi's left eye. Gadi let out a painful roar, and thick liquid flowed from his yellow eye, clearly affecting his vision.
Miyuki seized the opportunity, leaped forward, and slashed fiercely at Gadi's tentacles with the energy blade in her hand.
With a "whoosh," the blue-glowing light blade instantly severed one of Gadi's tentacles, and green blood spurted out.
Gadi cried out in pain and lashed out at Miyuki with his other tentacle, but Miyuki nimbly dodged it and even managed to leave a deep wound on Gadi's arm.
Gadi panicked completely.
It had expected an easy hunt, but it hadn't anticipated encountering two such formidable enemies. The man's weapon was precise and deadly, each attack hitting its weak points; the armored warrior was incredibly fast, and his close-combat abilities far exceeded its expectations.
It began to regret why it had chosen this place to sprout, and why it had provoked these two people it shouldn't have.
Cui Ming looked at the flustered Ga Di, and his cold smile deepened.
He pulled a grenade from his backpack, released the pin, and threw it at Gadi's abdomen—where the swollen "testicle" looked particularly vulnerable.
"Miyuki, step back!" he shouted, and Miyuki immediately understood and quickly retreated.
The grenade exploded in Gadi's abdomen. Although it did not directly rupture the egg sac, it still severely injured Gadi. He staggered back several steps, and the "dissolving fluid sac" in his neck began to shake erratically.
"It's not over yet." Cui Ming hoisted the rocket launcher, aimed it at Gadi's head, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
In his muscle memory, the most effective way to deal with this wounded monster is to press the attack and not give it any chance to breathe.
He pulled the trigger, and the rocket roared toward Gadi. This time, Gadi had no way to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the rocket hurtled toward his head.
I feel like crying!
I've observed so many times before that when humans encounter me, shouldn't they be flustered and unable to even run steadily?
This isn't what I expected!
This isn't the scene I envisioned!
I should first quietly surround the slower children and protect them—that's what my kind did before. Once they captured a human cub, the remaining adults would hold their weapons but wouldn't dare to act, they would just circle around shouting slogans, and in the end they could only watch helplessly as I left with my prey.
But now? Forget about grabbing the child, I didn't even have a chance to get close before these two guys chased and beat me up!
I should capture a bunch of kids first! Then you humans shouldn't dare attack me!
This is a hunting strategy ingrained in their very bones! For so many years, they have never failed with this tactic. No matter how angry the humans are, they will be restrained because of their young.
Why are there two weird things appearing now?!
One wielded a pipe that made a deafening noise, and bullets rained down on him, targeting the most painful spots; the other wore a hard shell and ran faster than the wind, slashing his own body with a light blade that left no room for dodge.
It shouldn't be like this!
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have chosen this place, even if it meant going hungry! If I had known these two humans didn't play by the rules, I would have gone back underground to hide and never provoked them!
Now, not only did I fail to catch any prey, but I'm also covered in injuries, and even breathing hurts. What went wrong?
Of course, Gadi didn't know that the predicament it was facing was only the beginning of its disaster—its "good luck" was yet to come!
At the far end of the street, two figures were rushing towards them. One of them, wearing a familiar red coat, walked with hurried yet steady steps—it was Dan Moroboshi. His face was so dark it could drip water, the pressure around him was extremely low, and his usually calm eyes were now filled with barely suppressed rage, almost bursting forth. (End of Chapter)
