341: Chapter 333 I’m not afraid of death, let me do it.The moment Farid tackled the Young Woman, a bizarre creature that had appeared out of nowhere leaped over the spot where her head had just been.

Watching the monster land steadily and turn its body to face them, the Young Woman realized that if it hadn’t been for Farid’s quick reactions, she would have been a headless corpse by now.

”Wha... what is this?” Sitting on the ground, the Young Woman scrambled backward using both her hands and feet.

The monster’s appearance wasn’t ugly; one might even call it ”beautiful,” but the Young Woman was in no mood to appreciate it, as it absolutely defied any common biological knowledge in the human mind.

Even with her limited knowledge of biology, she could confirm this much.

Well... at least she had never seen or heard of a creature on Earth covered in scales with hair growing out of the gaps between them.

Farid finally scrambled to his feet, raising his pistol to aim at the monster, his peripheral vision catching a glimpse of a bullet that had flattened into a disc upon the dry leaves.

So hard...

A gloom settled over his heart. As he sighed at the thought that he might die in these woods, he regretted not bringing any heavy weapons on this trip.

”Fa... Farid.” The Young Woman felt waves of palpitations as the monster’s scrutinizing gaze fixed on her. ”What is it?”

Seeing the monster stop not far away without immediately pouncing, Farid held his gun with one hand and slowly pulled the Young Woman back by her arm with the other.

”Didn’t you see the news from China a few months ago?”

Perhaps Farid’s relatively calm tone soothed her, as her voice stopped trembling. ”News from China? Uh, there’s so much, I don’t know which one you mean.”

”calamity,” Farid said the word in awkward Chinese.

The calamity had caused quite a stir in China; after all, to suppress it, the military had been deployed and all the transcendent disciples had been sent out.

Plus, before Tevan entered Seventeen, he had mentioned that ”the calamity is coming.” The Young Woman, who was usually preoccupied with bars, finally remembered.

”That... that monster?!” Fear flooded her eyes again, and her pupils shook violently as if she were looking at the most terrifying existence in the world. She instinctively wanted to scream.

”Don’t scream!” Farid quickly covered her mouth. ”I’ve seen the videos released by China. This kind of monster doesn’t attack easily. We might be able to use...”

”But it just pounced on me! If you hadn’t been fast, I’d be dead!” The Young Woman forced herself to stay calm and pulled his hand away.

Farid was stunned.

That was true.

The monsters that appeared in China seemed wary of the Soldiers’ firepower, confronting them for over ten minutes before making tentative moves. Why did this one...

Unless it had already tested it.

Farid’s gaze fell on the monster’s sharp claws; the tips were dark red.

Those were traces of dried blood.

”Listen.” Farid knew that turning and running would be suicide. ”We’ll run in different directions. Don’t turn your back; just back away.”

This was a desperate move of last resort; maybe one of them could escape.

After a few minutes, the Young Woman understood the situation and realized this was the best plan. Swallowing hard, she nodded.

Then, according to their hastily decided plan, the two backed out of the forest, one to the left and one to the right.

The monster obviously wasn’t going to let its prey slip away. Its eyes scanned the two for a few seconds before its slender body suddenly leaped, opening its large mouth in mid-air as it pounced toward the Young Woman.

”Damn it!”

Farid had thought the monster’s target was the wolf bone and that it would chase him if they split up. He hadn’t expected it to go after the worthless Young Woman.

”Get down!”

Farid knew shooting was useless, so he jumped and slammed into the monster from the side.

The weight difference was significant. Farid had the advantage of the angle, but he only managed to knock the monster slightly off course, while he himself was sent flying by the recoil.

”Roar—” The monster seemed enraged. After landing, it ignored the Young Woman and fixed its violent gaze on Farid. Its right claw scraped the ground a few times before it charged fiercely.

Farid’s dynamic vision couldn’t even track the monster’s form. He instinctively dodged to the side, but he didn’t notice his footing and was tripped by a dry branch.

He was dead.
