Chapter 408: Revised: Chapter 24: I Can’t Hold It Anymore, If I Die, So Be It
The terror of the Chimera Black Gorilla had been well demonstrated to everyone. Not to mention the extreme 50 points of power from the Steel Refinement World, the mere fact that it had six skills, some of which were unknown, was already despair-inducing.
The skills of such a monster were worlds apart from those of a Contractor.
The Chimera Black Gorilla grabbed the cross-dressing guy with one hand. The cross-dressing guy had given up resistance, wearing a face full of hopelessness. She was actually captured by a gorilla.
The red-glowing eyes of the gorilla scanned around, seemingly in search of living creatures.
Suddenly, the gorilla’s eyes sharpened and its foot stomped on the ground nearby.
Squelch, blood and gore splattered, and a Contractor playing dead on the ground got crushed.
Not only Su Xiao and the Five Fireballs were pretending to be corpses, but many other Contractors around were doing the same.
The gorilla was too fast, making escape nearly impossible. As for facing it head-on? Better wash up and go to sleep; in terms of attributes, it was utterly overwhelming.
Attributes were the most basic elements, but once there’s an overwhelming difference, it becomes insurmountable.
points of power and 49 points of power were in two different dimensions. A qualitative change occurs when an attribute increases to 50 points.
Su Xiao’s power attribute was 38 points, and he never thought of confronting that gorilla head-on; it was utterly impossible.
The gorilla continued searching the ground, and Bubu Wang crawled over to Su Xiao’s side.
"Don’t get too close, it might attract attention."
Su Xiao lowered his voice to the minimum.
Bubu Wang hesitated, finally stopping three meters away from Su Xiao. Even if they were discovered, Su Xiao could ride on Bubu Wang and run, which might give them a sliver of chance.
On Su Xiao’s left was Bubu Wang, and on the right was the Five Fireballs. Within seconds, he discovered another Contractor in front of him!
This Contractor was a young boy, his face ashen, unclear if from fear or another reason.
Su Xiao estimated that within a 500-meter radius, at least a dozen Contractors were playing dead.
Su Xiao’s estimation was wrong, it wasn’t just a dozen Contractors nearby, but rather an adventure group was present, over thirty Contractors in total.
It was normal for Su Xiao to misjudge without perception.
Everyone lay still on the ground, while the gorilla sat and began toying with the cross-dressing guy in its hand.
The cross-dressing guy was desperate, but at least temporarily safe from life-threatening danger.
Su Xiao lay on the ground, while the Five Fireballs brother was on his side three meters away. Bubu Wang was somewhat comical as half its body was snuggled into the dirt.
"When will this monster leave? Imagine the psychological trauma of that chick."
Because there was some distance from the gorilla, the Five Fireballs spoke quietly, with a humorous tone.
"Not sure, stop talking, that guy up ahead seems off."
Su Xiao looked at the boy five meters away, whose face was becoming increasingly ashen.
"What?"
The Five Fireballs also looked over.
"Pff~."
A strange sound came, and the young Contractor actually farted!
Su Xiao’s mouth twitched, feeling an urge to shoot the guy dead.
The Five Fireballs covered his mouth, shoulders shaking uncontrollably with suppressed laughter.
"Pff~."
The boy farted again. Actually, he was also desperate, nearly peeing himself from fear before, and after such extreme fright, he felt a strong urge to go to the bathroom.
After two consecutive farts, Su Xiao smelled no stench since he was upwind, but the gorilla was downwind!
The gorilla’s nose twitched, a hint of confusion in its eyes; it hadn’t farted.
"Pff~."
The boy farted a third time.
"Hahaha, I can’t hold on anymore."
The Five Fireballs finally couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.
Su Xiao muttered quietly, "Are you looking to die, stop laughing."
The Five Fireballs tried hard to suppress his laughter, "I can’t help it, die if I must, I can’t hold it, hahahahaha."
"Pff~."
"Hahahahaha."
Though the Five Fireballs was laughing, he wasn’t loud enough to attract the gorilla’s attention.
The gorilla glanced around, still holding the cross-dressing guy in its hand.
Thankfully, it was around 3 a.m., with barely any light, if it were daytime, playing dead wouldn’t work at all.
The surroundings turned silent, and Su Xiao didn’t intend to sit idle. In a while, it would be daylight, and unless the gorilla was blind, it would surely discover the Contractors around.
Propping himself with his hands, Su Xiao slowly crawled backward, trying to distance himself from the gorilla.
A soft scraping sound echoed nearby. Turning his head, he saw the Five Fireballs doing the same.
Both were moving in the same direction backward, and Su Xiao suddenly wondered if the Five Fireballs was also completing an advancement task?
But it wasn’t the case, as the Five Fireballs had already completed his advancement task in the last Derivative World.
After moving slowly for ten minutes, Su Xiao had a fair distance from the gorilla.
The most desperate person on the scene was not the Contractors lying on the ground, but the cross-dressing guy. Her situation was incredibly awkward, unable to control the gorilla, nor would the gorilla release her.
Twenty minutes later, Su Xiao was far away from the gorilla, within a safe distance.
Su Xiao sighed in relief, narrowly escaping a deadly situation where being noticed meant certain death.
Just as Su Xiao was about to stand up, screams were heard from afar, as a Contractor was discovered.
Su Xiao immediately stood, and Bubu Wang did the same.
Su Xiao mounted Bubu Wang, which immediately initiated Full Speed Charge (Active), sprinting at full speed.
The sudden movement attracted the gorilla’s attention. Fixing its eyes, it recognized the very individual it was annoyed by earlier.
The gorilla, still clutching the cross-dressing guy, ran towards Su Xiao, destroying buildings along its path like a pile of blocks.
Bubu Wang’s agility attribute was 27 points, and after activating Full Speed Charge (Active), its speed increased by 150%, reaching the extreme.
The gorilla could chase Su Xiao, but it couldn’t catch up with Bubu Wang running at full speed.
In 3 seconds, Su Xiao and Bubu Wang’s figures became a tiny black dot in the gorilla’s eyes.
Having been hunted for so long, Su Xiao wouldn’t swallow this. A dozen small white snakes crawled to the gorilla’s feet, only for its large foot to stomp down.
Boom!
A massive explosion occurred, and the powerful blast flipped the gorilla over, making it fall to the ground.
"Roar!!"
The gorilla was utterly furious, clenching its fists, forgetting the cross-dressing guy still in hand.
"Pff~."
The cross-dressing guy vomited a mouthful of blood, eyes rolled back, with blood trickling from the corner of the mouth.
Seeing this, the gorilla lifted the cross-dressing guy by one leg, swinging her before its eyes.
This little thing had been played to ruin by it; that was the gorilla’s thought at that moment.
Casually tossing the cross-dressing guy aside, the gorilla stomped the ground with a mighty foot. With a crash, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground, eliciting a scream from an unlucky Contractor.
The gorilla heard the scream and looked down at that Contractor.
"Don’t... don’t come over, Boss save me."
The gorilla stomped down.
"Ah!"
Squelch, the scream abruptly stopped as the Contractor was flattened to mush.
If the Little Man in the Bottle was the strongest Alchemist in the Steel Refinement World, then the gorilla was the strongest creature, no doubt.
On the ground nearby, the cross-dressing guy with multiple fractured ribs slowly opened her eyes. Noticing the gorilla hadn’t gone far, she immediately shut her eyes again.
