"Licker, what is it?"
Ye Feng jumped backward violently, several meters away from where he had been standing.
A light sheen of sweat broke out on his forehead. He felt both confused and nervous, a primal, instinctive tension.
"Bang!~"
The next second, the floor where Ye Feng had been standing was violently smashed into a large hole.
Amidst flying debris and dust, a massive body burst out from within. It was the Licker the system had just warned him about.
The Licker was a monster the size of two adult tigers, its limbs clawing the ground as it crawled. It had no skin, its blood-red muscles exposed, and three long, scarlet tongues flicked from its mouth.
As the Licker lunged forward, it pounced precisely on the Wolfclaw, pinning it to the ground.
"Licker... Licker... no... don't..."
In an incredibly terrified scream, Wolfclaw was flipped over by the Licker.
The Licker used its thick, muscular limbs to pin Wolfclaw's arms and legs.
Then, the three tongues in its mouth writhed, transforming into countless small tentacles that plunged directly into Wolfclaw's entire spine, siphoning its spinal fluid.
"Ah... Ah... Help... Help me..."
Wolfclaw's screams were cut short as he lost all signs of life.
After draining Wolfclaw's spinal fluid, the Licker directly plunged its sharp claws into Wolfclaw's back.
With a pull, it extracted the entire spine, still attached to the head at the top.
In the next instant, the hundreds of tentacles that had formed from the Licker's tongues began licking the bloody spine of Wolfclaw.
It was at this moment that Ye Feng truly understood the concept of the Licker's "licking" feeding!
As the Licker's tentacles licked, the viscous blood and flesh clinging to Wolfclaw's spine were completely stripped away and fed into the Licker's mouth, leaving behind only a stark white spinal bone...
Upon closer inspection, each of the Licker's hundred tentacles was covered with hook-like barbs!
Then, the mass of tentacles, which had transformed from the Licker's three tongues, reverted back to their original three tongues. They coiled around Wolfclaw's bloody head and drew it into its mouth.
"Crunch~ Crack~ Crack..."
The Licker chewed for a moment before swallowing. It even licked its lips with its three scarlet tongues, as if unsatisfied.
"Cough-crack~ Gulp~ Crack-crack!~"
After completing its meal, the Licker's body actually grew larger, with some white scales even forming on its outer layer.
Then, the Licker turned, facing Ye Feng.
"Bang bang bang!~..."
Ye Feng and Ling Xi fired almost simultaneously.
"This..."
After the gunfire ceased, Ye Feng couldn't help but be stunned.
The bullets from the Glock 18 and Desert Eagle only left small holes on the Licker's body, much like the ones they had left on Wolfclaw earlier.
The difference was that bullets that struck the Licker's scales were directly deflected!
"Bang!~"
Ye Feng instantly switched his Glock 18 for a Barret.
So, Ye Feng decided to create distance and finish the opponent with his Barret M82A1.
If that didn't work, he would resort to anti-tank mines. With its weight of seven to eight hundred pounds, this guy would definitely trigger an anti-tank mine...
Ling Xi reacted quickly. Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, she moved, pulling Xiao Xiao with her as they ran.
"Ah!?"
Xiao Xiao was clearly terrified by what she had just witnessed.
She hadn't had time to react when Ling Xi pulled her. As she suddenly turned, she twisted her ankle and cried out in pain, falling to the ground.
The Beretta BU9 Nano that Ye Feng had given her was also flung far away!
"Help... Help me..."
At this moment, the Licker let out a sound similar to Wolfclaw's and leaped towards Xiao Xiao, intending to deal with her as it had with Wolfclaw.
"This is bad!"
Ye Feng's expression turned grim. His index finger, resting on the trigger of the Barret M82A1, was about to move.
"Ah~ Ya!"
But at that very moment, the terrified Xiao Xiao suddenly let out a scream, closed her eyes, tilted her head, and pushed her two small hands towards the charging Licker.
As Xiao Xiao pushed her hands forward, visible ripples appeared in the air, rapidly spreading towards the Licker.
"Bang!~"
The leaping Licker collided with the ripple pushed by Xiao Xiao and was instantly sent flying backward, smashing directly into a large concrete pillar four to five meters wide.
The impact of the Licker hitting the concrete pillar was immense, embedding its massive body, the size of two large tigers, deeply into the pillar.
The Licker sent large chunks of concrete flying everywhere, and the steel reinforcing bars, as thick as a baby's arm, inside the pillar were completely bent...
By the time the dust settled, the Licker showed no signs of movement.
It remained there, its tongue hanging out, its body twisted and deformed, embedded in the concrete pillar, completely lifeless!
"This..."
Ye Feng was stunned.
"Xiao Xiao, are you alright?"
Seeing Xiao Xiao lying on the ground, Ye Feng rushed over to check on her.
"Same as before, fell asleep from exhaustion?"
"Because she used some kind of mysterious power?"
After a thorough check, Ye Feng frowned.
"This Licker's internal organs were shattered by an immense force... and all its bones too..."
At this moment, Ling Xi's voice, filled with disbelief, rang out.
She looked at Xiao Xiao with shocked and slightly confused eyes!
"Let's get out of here first!"
Ye Feng quickly made his decision.
There might be more than one Licker, and if Wolfclaw had accomplices, that would be troublesome!
...
At the same time,
On a high slope in the northeastern part of Zhaibi City,
"Hey, Bloodshot Raven, how's it going? Any news on Wolfclaw?"
Bat-head dangled from a tree, swinging back and forth as he asked Bloodshot Raven.
