Chapter 63 The Mutated Amoeba

"Beautiful woman... Could it be that thing they've been saying is around Green Street?"

As a local snake of Green Street, Suren naturally knew that a lot of inexplicable disappearances had happened there recently. More than one witness had said they saw a very beautiful woman appearing where people went missing.

Clearly, that "beautiful woman" was probably not human.

But some kind of mutated monster.

........

Suren looked at the surroundings and frowned. This wasn't an area he knew.

The bad news was that one student was missing, and without warning.

The good news was that only one was missing.

He suggested to the female teaching assistant, "I think... we'd better leave here."

Cutting their losses in time wouldn't be too late.

Rosa clearly knew the situation was critical. If other teachers were here, she would definitely choose to search the underground cave.

But now, she had no choice but to ensure that the remaining students wouldn't have any more problems.

She nodded in agreement with Suren and said, "Everyone, there have been some changes in this trial. I'm announcing its termination. Everyone, return to the surface immediately."

Someone said, "But teacher, are we... are we going to abandon Kom?"

"I'll come back to find him later."

Rosa said, thinking, and then asked Suren, "Mr. Guide, is there another way for us to return to the surface?"

Suren thought for a moment. There was, but he didn't dare to say it with too much certainty. "I'll try."

He also wanted to leave here as soon as possible and distance himself from these students.

Because he felt that if things dragged on, they would only get worse!

And his premonitions about bad things were always frighteningly accurate.

.......

The students were frightened and didn't plan to stay any longer. But just as they were packing their equipment to leave,

suddenly, a "squish" "squish" sound of water came from the tunnel they had come from, like something wet was running fast.

The students seemed to be familiar with this sound and cried out in horror, "Teacher Rosa, this is bad, the black dogs are here again!"

Suren's expression faltered as he listened. He didn't dare to be careless and focused his gaze.

He saw at the end of the field of vision, seven or eight faceless, blurry "dog" shaped slime monsters running out of the tunnel.

The appraisal still showed [Mutated Amoeba].

At this time, teaching assistant Rosa also drew the fire gun tied to her thigh and raised her hand to fire a few shots at the monster.

Her marksmanship was good, and she directly hit the heads of two monsters.

Then Suren watched the monster's head explode into a pool of black water, but the monster was still running, and in an instant, it had reformed a head.

Seeing this, Suren frowned slightly.

The students beside him also said anxiously, "Teacher, physical attacks are useless, only fire is a threat to them!"

.......

"Tenacious vitality, good at deformation and fusion..."

Suren coldly watched everything in front of him, his ordinary pistol already replaced with two runic fire guns loaded with alchemical bullets.

His eyes flickered frequently, capturing the monster's movements, and he analyzed in his mind: "Unless its body is burned dry, it is difficult to kill. The only means of attack is close-range corrosion, which is not too fatal... The trouble is the number."

Looking again at the end of the tunnel, there seemed to be more than just seven or eight, there were even more of those black dogs!

Teaching assistant Rosa quickly tried other means of attack, but they were all ineffective. She immediately shouted, "Retreat first!"

The retreat was blocked, and they had no choice but to retreat deeper into the cave while walking.

Physical-type professionals had no way to deal with these monsters. Once they got close, even combat suits could be quickly corroded, emitting white smoke. Only "elemental alchemy bullets" and some fire spells were of some use, but they only slowed down the monsters' pursuit.

That thing couldn't be killed at all!

Even if they used another foam bomb to seal the tunnel again, those "black dogs" didn't know where they came from, and haunted them relentlessly.

Suren followed the students all the way down, running wildly.

He quickly pieced together the memory fragments in his mind, wanting to find another route back to the surface.

But strangely, no matter how the group changed channels, those black dogs could always appear in any corner like ghosts, accurately finding them.

Before long, not only were they chasing, but there were even monsters intercepting them.

The situation was getting more and more critical.

......

But the turning point came very suddenly.

By chance, in an open space, after the personnel dispersed, Suren discovered an attack characteristic of those "black dogs": these black dog monsters did not attack everyone, but targeted only one squad.

That was the squad of Jack, who was known as "the number one gun in the academy!"

Earlier, a female student fell, and those black dogs could have killed this nearest target, but they actually ignored her and rushed to the squad in front of the crowd.

Before long, all the students discovered that as long as they avoided Jack's team, the black dogs would not attack them at all.

Looking closer, the black dog's attack target was not the team, but a girl in the team.

Someone noticed the anomaly and shouted, "Teacher, those monsters are coming for Lena!"

Now everyone understood that these black dogs had been chasing Lena from beginning to end, not them.

Just now, they had blocked Lena in the crowd, so they mistakenly thought that the black dogs would attack everyone.

Discovering this, almost all the students instinctively avoided the girl.

Sure enough, the black dogs actually skipped them, and the crisis was instantly resolved.

Suren looked at this scene, and the clues in his mind were instantly connected, and a conspiracy took shape.

He suddenly realized: "So that's how the monster's habit of being 'very sensitive to certain smells' is used!"

Just like a trained drug detection dog, it won't bite ordinary people, but will attack criminals carrying contraband.

"Is this monster being controlled by someone?!"

Suren immediately concluded: "In order not to cause too many casualties, and then arranged such a targeted monster to ambush here... The murderer is a big shot in the inner city!"

Anyone could guess that this must be some dog-blood-like conflict between wealthy families.

The mastermind behind the scenes did all this to kill the girl named "Lena"!

.......

Suren felt screwed, and inexplicably became involved in the power struggles of the inner city's wealthy families.

He was now just a small gangster, and in the power plays of such powerful forces, he was just cannon fodder.

Regardless of whether the mastermind's conspiracy succeeded or not, he, the guide, would be implicated.

Maybe he would even be framed as an accomplice, after all, he was the one who led the trial route!

"I've really gotten into big trouble... If that girl's identity is very important, and she dies in the territory of the Cross Society, the gang's higher-ups probably won't be able to explain it."

Suren's mind raced.

Looking at the situation in front of him, he was now almost certain that he had to run.

But thinking that if he ran, and no one took the blame, Qian Tiao and Kai would definitely be implicated.

So, until it was absolutely necessary, he still didn't plan to leave it alone immediately.
