🕑 Added 2024-12-03 11:58:48 +0000 UTC"The monkey has a very bad temper and is not easy to deal with, but with the power of shadow clones, the monkey might not be able to do anything to you. You should go and take a look..." The Ancient One walked to the portal and left a message. "The monkey is on Wudang Mountain. Remember, don't make too much noise, or it will be hard to handle."
The portal transformed into countless stars and vanished into the gentle night wind.
"Wudang Mountain... it seems I need to find time to return."
Lance was pondering this, planning to find the monkey, when suddenly his eyelids fluttered, and Lance raised the magical compass in his hand.
The compass emitted a faint golden light, and its needle trembled, pointing southeast.
"Oops, I almost forgot about this!"
Lance's heart stirred, and he immediately jumped down from the roof.
"I hope those two girls haven't been torn apart by the monster."

...
In an abandoned factory near the river, Sidney and Nancy were running for their lives.
What was chasing them was not a human, but a giant monster.
This creature was at least four meters tall, had a barrel-like body, and a large head on its short neck, covered in tangled and dirty red hair. The monster's mouth was enormous, reaching its ears, with dagger-sharp teeth, and a pair of glowing red eyes in the dark like an animal.
Additionally, the creature's claws had sharper nails than those of a wild cat, hanging almost from the air to the ground.
"What the hell is that?"
Sidney turned around and shot several times. The monster merely shook its head and chased them again. The monster could catch up to them in one step, while they needed five or six steps to run away.
"Sidney, run fast!!"
Not far from there, Nancy hurriedly shot, trying to draw the monster's attention, but it seemed more interested in Sidney.
Seeing the monster running toward Sidney with long strides, Sidney cursed angrily, turned around, and ran toward the production area in the abandoned factory.
There were still many abandoned lathes there, as well as a lot of debris that had not been cleared, which might slow the monster down.
Blood flowed from Sidney's shoulder, and wounds on Sidney's body were smeared with blood.
The monster's mouth could open to an extraordinary extent, and its teeth were very sharp, including the long fangs in its upper jaw—there were a total of four fangs, two on each side.
The wounds on Sidney's body at the moment were the "kisses" from the monster.
This was already a very good outcome. If Nancy hadn't reacted quickly enough and pulled Sidney away from the monster in time, Sidney might have already been swallowed by the villain he was trying to capture.
Sidney had never felt he could run that fast. In just a few breaths, Sidney passed through the overgrown factory area and entered the dark production room.
But the next second, a great force surged from behind Sidney, and he was thrown like a baseball, landing in the middle of a pile of debris with a bleeding head.
Sidney screamed in pain and fell there, unable to get up.
As if nothing had happened, the monster easily broke through the debris blocking its path, opened its ferocious-looking mouth, and tried to eat Sidney.
"Sidney!"
Nancy was excited. Her eyes blinked slightly, her slender body suddenly coiled, and with agility far beyond that of an ordinary person, Nancy kicked the stained, broken window glass, then lifted her long legs into the air and tried to kick the monster's head hard. She flew very quickly.
Bang!
With a dull sound, the monster's head was slightly pushed back.
Immediately after that, Nancy was like a nimble cheetah. Her agile legs wrapped around the monster's neck, and her body suddenly jumped several meters. Then, Nancy lifted both of her legs into the air and kicked right into the monster's face with the soles of her boots.
Boom!
Nancy's legs were full of power, and the impact sent the monster falling backward.
“Wow, Nancy, I never knew you were this strong...”
Sidney was dizzy, and her face was smeared with blood. Sidney was still admiring her friend's appearance and showing her teeth in praise.
“This guy is too strong. I can't defeat him. Let's go!”
Nancy was very self-aware. Although her physique was stronger than an ordinary person, her hands and feet were no stronger than bullets.
Bullets couldn't kill the monster, and neither could Nancy, who was just kicking with regular shoes.
Nancy helped Sidney to her feet and they tried to escape. Even though Nancy knew that her friend, who weighed over 60 kilograms, was very easy for her to support while trying to flee, they both were acutely aware that they couldn't run faster than the monster.
The monster, having been hit hard twice, was clearly not in a good mood. Suddenly, it opened its mouth, revealing its knife-sharp white teeth, and then made a clicking sound, like the noise of a box being closed.
Immediately after that, the monster rose from the ground and jumped high into the sky, swinging its bloody claws toward them.
“Watch out!”
Nancy's reaction was very quick. Before Sidney's shout had even stopped, Nancy had already swung one of her long legs and kicked a box of gelatin next to her.
Unfortunately, it had no effect.
The monster ignored the impact and swung its claws, throwing the box of items back at them.
Boom!
The plastic box, torn by the sharp claws, exploded, and the scattered debris sent both female detectives tumbling forward.
“Hraah!!”
A terrifying and mad roar tore through the night sky, causing the old factory buildings to shake.
The red light in the monster's eyes grew stronger, and it roared with enthusiasm, rushing forward, ready to enjoy a delicious dinner.
At that moment, a clear voice rang out in the darkness.
