Chapter 132 Monster Party and Hunter

Listening to the strange sound coming from outside the door again.

Fang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then got up from the bed and quietly walked to the dormitory door.

Then, carefully peek out through the peephole.

pat-

pat-

The sound was getting closer, like a hammer hitting the heart slowly and heavily.

Fang Cheng held his breath and stared at the narrow space in the cat's eye concave lens.

After a few seconds, his shining pupils suddenly shrank and he took a deep breath.

He finally saw what was making the sound in the dark corridor.

That was... an extremely strange figure.

The moonlight filtered in faintly, revealing the outline of a vague human figure.

As the figure got closer, its overall appearance emerged into view.

The skin is bare and a dull green, with a few scales covering the back.

The head is very large, the eyes are protruding like fish eyes, and the hands, feet and limbs have webbed feet like those of a frog.

Naked and slimy, it looks like a hybrid of some marine creature and human.

And as they got closer to the room where Fang Cheng was, a rotten and foul smell came like sea water.

Ordinary people may find it difficult to detect this smell.

But in Fang Cheng's perception, it was extremely clear and strong, and he couldn't help but let out a breath of foul air through his nostrils.

Then the noise in the corridor stopped.

The monster was standing in front of the door and turned its head to look at the room where Fang Cheng was.

His eyes flashed with a faint green light, and his sight seemed to be able to see through the door and see the scene inside.

Fang Cheng didn't move at all, he just lay behind the door with all his muscles tensed.

A man and a monster stared at each other across the door.

It was almost exactly the same as last night.

The stench still came, constantly drilling into my nostrils.

The terrifying monster outside the door seemed like it would suddenly rush in at any time.

There was a slight bit of sweat on the palms of Fang Cheng's clenched fists.

Thinking of the meditation method taught by his mentor, he immediately chose to cut off his sense of smell and isolate some of his perceptions.

Only a faint smell of fish lingered in the nose.

Fortunately, what we imagined did not happen.

The ghost stayed at the door for a while, seemed not to notice anything, then turned around and walked towards the front of the corridor.

About four minutes passed.

Fang Cheng, who was standing by the door, heard the footsteps getting farther away, so he slowly pushed the door open a little.

Then he stuck his head out and looked around the dark and silent corridor.

Except for the open window at the end, which let in a thin layer of smoke blown in by the wind, the corridor was empty and there was no one in sight.

Fang Cheng turned around to glance at Pan Wendi lying in the bed and saw him smacking his lips, seemingly having a sweet dream.

So he gently pushed the door open, flashed out of the dormitory.

It was dark outside, and the moonlight filtered into the villa through the mist, as if adding a faint blue filter.

Fang Cheng pricked up his ears and listened carefully, then he tiptoed and quickly walked to the stairs at the end of the corridor.

I looked down and saw the monster.

It... is heading downstairs.

His body is crooked and his walking posture looks awkward.

Fang Cheng raised his foot, ready to take a step forward, but suddenly pulled it back.

Because, at this time, a similar strange sound was heard from upstairs.

After a while, a figure that also looked like half human, half fish slowly walked down from upstairs.

After passing the corridor on the third floor, continue walking downstairs.

In the darkness, Fang Cheng's eyes were shining as he stared at the second monster that appeared.

It wasn't until it gradually moved away that he took a deep breath, and the look of confusion on his face became even more intense.

This training camp base is full of weirdness.

If there hadn't been any abnormalities during the meditation practice, Fang Cheng didn't want to create trouble and find out the secrets here.

Now that he was in the middle of it and saw the inhuman and horrific monsters with his own eyes, he couldn't feel at ease.

I waited quietly for a few seconds and found that there were no other footsteps around.

After a moment's hesitation, Fang Cheng took a step forward and decided to continue following.

It was late at night and people on every floor were sleeping so soundly that they didn't notice any strange noises.

The lights in the lobby on the first floor were off, there was no one on duty, and the door was not locked.

Fang Cheng followed the two monsters and came out unhindered.

Instead of taking the main road, they took a weed-covered path.

The grayish-white fog permeated the mountains, forests and buildings, floating in the wind.

Occasionally, the cries of night owls could be heard, making the atmosphere even more eerie and creepy.

The path is located on the east side of the training camp building and extends towards a high ground near the coast.

Fang Cheng followed slowly behind, passing through a forest filled with thick fog.

When I raised my head and looked around, the scene in front of me suddenly showed new changes.

He discovered that he was tracking more than just two monsters.

Under the moonlight, a group of half-human, half-fish creatures were seen scattered on the towering cape extending into the sea.

They moved very slowly, as if they were not used to walking on land.

When it approached the top of the cape, it seemed to become excited and simply chose to get on all fours, and its speed suddenly increased dozens of times.

They all rushed to the cliff at once, making bursts of sharp and hoarse guttural sounds.

Then, like dumplings being dropped into the water, one after another they jumped from above and fell into the sea.

Fang Cheng stood at the foot of the cape, looking at the scene in astonishment.

When he saw them all jump down, he immediately quickened his pace and ran to the top of the cliff.

Yong'an Island has a very unique and spectacular sea erosion landscape.

The rock walls cut by the sea water have become independent platforms, standing among the undulating waves.

Fang Cheng's location is the highest point among the surrounding areas.

The waves are rolling and unfathomable below the cliffs.

The monsters were suddenly swallowed by the darkness and disappeared without a trace.

Fang Cheng leaned over and stared, his pupils faintly emitting a red light.

After turning on the "Eagle Eye Vision", the sight penetrates the dark sea as if it were real.

Below the sea, there were densely packed monsters gathered in a group, at least hundreds of them.

They entangled with each other, spinning their bodies, and swimming freely in the sea, appearing more joyful and excited than on land.

It seems like some kind of party is being held here, welcoming new partners to join.

Looking at such a bizarre and terrifying scene, Fang Cheng couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Suddenly I remembered what Lin Chuqiao said. Coming here to practice might change my inherent ideas and views about this world.

This island, and this so-called "Satsang of Truth and Meditation", may be where the monsters gather.

Fang Cheng suddenly raised his head and looked at the town in the distance surrounded by the dark ocean.

There seem to be many unknown secrets and dangers hidden in it.

A long and steady beam of light suddenly passed through the sea and reflected into Fang Cheng's pupils.

That is the lighthouse that guides navigation in the harbor.

At the same time, there were two faint flashes of light.

A fishing boat was quietly approaching here under the cover of darkness.

………………………………In the cockpit.

The radar display beeped and continuously scanned the surrounding sea conditions.

When the fishing boat reached one kilometer away from the cape, it slowed down to the lowest speed and slowly floated on the inky black sea.

"Awu, how is it? Did you find any trace of those things?"

In the cockpit, the captain at the helm glanced at the radar display, then turned to look at the man standing next to him.

Awu held the infrared telescope in both hands, apparently observing the situation ahead.

Then he replied:

"According to the organization's intelligence, in the early morning hours a few days before the Yong'an Island Sea Festival, those monsters will come from all over to this sea area to gather. I think it should be correct. Let's look for them carefully."

Upon hearing this, the captain put away his impatience and stared at the radar display.

It's just that the equipment on this borrowed, broken fishing boat is too outdated.

When we used radar detection just now, we found nothing except a few reefs and schools of fish.

While I was thinking, the radar suddenly made a "beep" sound.

His eyes lit up, and he looked at the large red area on the display screen and immediately shouted:

"It seems we have found our target. It's so obvious, it shouldn't be a school of fish..."

Upon hearing this, Awu immediately ordered:
"Brother, turn off the motor and stop!"

At the same time, he reached out and turned off the cockpit lights.

The captain immediately followed suit and turned off the engine.

Soon, the entire fishing boat fell into darkness and silence.

The two held their breath, used infrared telescopes to observe the direction indicated by the radar, and whispered to each other.

"I saw those monsters."

"Don't act rashly now. Wait until their gathering is over. We just need to catch a lone one..."

This seemingly ordinary fishing boat actually carries a lot of fishing equipment.

There are diving suits, electric harpoon guns, and even explosive packs.

In the lounge behind the cockpit, there was a pool of dark red blood.

The two of them waited patiently and quietly for nearly two hours.

Suddenly, Wu, who was holding the infrared telescope, shouted softly:
"Get ready, it's coming!"

At the same time, the red dot area on the radar display is also dispersing.

Upon hearing this, the captain quickly took off his shirt and prepared to put on his diving suit.

Seeing this, Awu immediately stopped him:

"We can't go underwater. That thing is too good at swimming. It's best to lure it onto the boat so that we can deal with it."

As he spoke, he bent down and took out a few underwater burning sticks from the travel bag next to the operating table.

"Their eyes are very sensitive to red light. I'll use this to attract the target, and you can use your weapon to aim and attack..."

The two quickly made a plan.

At this moment, a faint "splashing" sound of water waves being cut through was heard.

It seemed like something was swimming towards the fishing boat.

They didn't take action immediately because there were many such voices around.

Awu listened attentively, relying on his powerful hearing to identify various subtle movements within a range of dozens of meters.

Half a minute later, he turned his head and gave the captain a look indicating that he was ready to take action.

Then he stood up and broke the underwater burning stick in his hand.

Then he walked out of the cockpit and threw the half-lit fuel stick toward the sea not far away.

The red flame instantly sank into the water, illuminating a dark red circle of light and a strange figure.

"hiss--"

A sharp and piercing sound came from the sea.

Awu was cheered up and immediately raised the other half of the burning stick in his hand and waved it continuously.

The monster hiding beneath the sea seemed to be enraged.

The sound of waves breaking suddenly sounded, and they rushed towards the fishing boat at an incredibly fast speed.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang".

I saw a dark green half-human, half-fish monster jumping onto the deck with a splash of water.

Ah Wu was not panicked at all. He stared at the monster with his eyes fixed on it, and a smile appeared on his lips:
"Stinky fish, out of water, you may not be my opponent."

The other party obviously didn't understand what he said. His eyes glowed with a dark green light and a sharp roar came from his mouth.

Suddenly, he got down on all fours and rushed towards him with a gust of fishy wind.

However, Awu had already prepared for the battle, his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound.

In the blink of an eye, his hands turned red and hot, and white smoke came out, as if steel entered a furnace and produced a temperature of thousands of degrees.

Then he faced the monster that was rushing towards him and punched it with a simple straight backhand punch.

boom!
The half-man, half-fish creature's head took the punch head-on, but it didn't even shake, nor did it take even a single step back.

It seems that Awu's fist is too weak to cause any damage to it.

However, immediately afterwards, the monster let out an extremely shrill roar.

When the fist came into contact with the fish-like head, it glowed red.

There was actually a sizzling sound coming from the food, and even a strange meaty aroma floating in the air.

Awu smiled and said:
"Grilled fish, please!"

The monster felt the pain and became extremely ferocious. It raised its head and opened its mouth to bite its enemy.

Seeing this, Awu grabbed the opponent's neck with one hand and blocked the opponent's webbed claws with the other hand.

The two sides temporarily entered a stalemate.

Although the monster suffered from the pain of burning, its recovery ability was extremely abnormal.

The bloody hole burned on the head quickly recovered by half.

Ah Wu's face did not look good, and he immediately shouted:
"Brother, use the tranquilizer gun!"

The captain hurriedly ran out of the cockpit and took out a peculiarly shaped pistol.

He fired three shots at the half-man, half-fish monster.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

After being shot, the monster's limbs soon became sore and weak, its strength gradually decreased, and it staggered back several steps, approaching the side of the ship.

Seeing it trying to escape, the captain immediately picked up the electric harpoon gun and shot another harpoon.

The sharp fork pierced into the monster's thick pectoral muscles. The damage was not great, but it still shocked it and made it scream, successfully preventing it from escaping.

After holding on for a few seconds, the monster finally collapsed.

On the deck, the two "hunters" looked at each other, both with joy on their faces at having accomplished their mission.

"Ten million is in hand!"

The captain couldn't help but let out a low cry of excitement.

Awu shook his head and laughed:
“Money is a minor matter. What matters is the commitment of the organization.”

The two men observed the situation around them, and quickly worked together to drag the monster's body into the cabin.

but--

When they went in, they were shocked to find that a stranger had appeared in the cockpit.

It was a young man with wet black hair.

When he takes off his shirt, his body reveals his well-proportioned and strong muscles that can be called a perfect work of art.

He seemed to have just swam onto the boat from the sea and was facing an electric heater, drying his clothes.

If you exert a little force with your arms, your biceps will bulge noticeably, as if they contain explosive power.

"who are you?"

Awu and the captain stared at their opponent and vaguely sensed a sense of danger.

The young man glanced at them and asked:
"Who are you?"
