Chapter 40 Not Human

The detached, revolting, caterpillar-like lower body crawled with far greater speed than its lost mother body, rows of sharp teeth appearing on its severed断面!

Gu Panxi tried to ram it away with her giant shield, but the massive caterpillar surprisingly stuck fast to the shield and wouldn't let go!

Gu Panxi, who had been crushing the monster, was thus held back by the severed limbs of the lost mother body.

Goudu seized this opportunity and immediately fled. This method of escape would cost him at least half his strength, but if he didn't, he would die here!

As he ran, a bright bullet struck his shoulder, tearing away a large chunk of flesh.

Goudu turned his head in rage and saw Wen Wen holding a gun, firing madly at him!

Wen Wen would not miss an opportunity to beat a fallen dog.

However, Goudu dared not stop to deal with Wen Wen now. That section of his body wouldn't last long. After enduring several bullets, he disappeared into the depths of the sewer. Su Tan Novel Network.

After firing all his bullets, Wen Wen shook his wrist and stopped pursuing. He could fire a few sneaky shots, but he absolutely couldn't chase after such a dangerous fellow himself.

Gu Panxi casually killed the carrion demon that Wen Wen had taken so much effort to subdue. The lost mother body, which could entangle Gu Panxi for so long, would still be much stronger than Wen Wen even when severely wounded!

A moment later, the half-body of the lost mother body fell to the ground, having lost all vitality and becoming a lightly wriggling mass of flesh.

Gu Panxi landed on the ground and did not pursue further. It had already escaped far away, and chasing after it now was meaningless.

Wen Wen took out a small knife and carefully poked the remaining half of the lost mother body's carcass, a look of disgust on his face.

"Tsk, this thing is truly disgusting. Since I fired a few sneaky shots and it counts as helping you, do you have any way of showing your appreciation!"

He looked at Gu Panxi with a smirk, then Gu Panxi glanced at Wen Wen, and the smile on Wen Wen's face vanished instantly.

With just that glance, Wen Wen's hair stood on end as if he were being stared at by something dangerous!

That gaze was like that of a truly high and mighty angel, looking at mortals as if they were ants, not the human girl from before!

At least the current Gu Panxi was not human!

"Is 'assimilation' what you call turning yourself into a monster..."

The white light on Gu Panxi dissipated, and she returned to the girl in the tight leather outfit. She patted Wen Wen's shoulder with a smile and said:

"Don't flatter yourself, you didn't really contribute much. However, you did help me find it this time, which was a great help. You'll get your reward."

Wen Wen took a step back, unsure if the girl with the bright smile in front of him had turned into a monster, or if she was someone who had always been a monster.

Gu Panxi paused for a moment, then understood and said, "So that's it, you're scared of me, aren't you? It's understandable, you've probably never seen someone undergo 'assimilation' before."

"What exactly is this 'assimilation' you're talking about?" Wen Wen asked with a frown.

"You'll understand when it's time, telling you now would only confuse you," Gu Panxi said with a mysterious smile, not giving Wen Wen an answer.

...

The lost mother body, with only its two legs remaining, rushed through the sewer. Despite suffering unprecedented heavy injuries, its speed was still something ordinary people couldn't match.

As it ran, Goudu saw a figure in a black long coat ahead and stopped abruptly.

"Hunter... or..."

"My codename is L, and I'd like to invite you to a feast," Mr. L said, opening his arms and laughing at Goudu.

"I... refuse," Goudu was still injured and didn't want to get involved in any trouble.

"You accepting is an invitation, you refusing is an arrest. Choose whatever treatment you desire," Mr. L took two steps forward, exuding an ominous aura.

"I... refuse," Goudu felt no pressure from the man in front of him, so he refused again.

Mr. L took off his coat and placed it aside, revealing a terrifying face. His body rapidly changed, twisting into another form.

"You... too!" Goudu widened his four eyes. Now he felt the pressure!

"Yes, me too!"

...

"This air is simply paradise!" Wen Wen said, throwing the manhole cover aside and greedily breathing in the fresh air.

"Get out of the way, don't block the wellhead." Pushing Wen Wen aside, Gu Panxi also jumped out.

The sewer environment was truly unpleasant, and for someone with Wen Wen's keen sense of smell, it was more like hell.

Gu Panxi looked around, then found a car wash, borrowed a faucet, and rinsed herself. The filth was all washed away. She then raised her hands and sniffed, still detecting a faint odor.

Meanwhile, Wen Wen looked at Gu Panxi, who had returned to normal, and then at himself, his black trench coat soaked through with sewage from top to bottom...

"It's good to wear leather clothes..."

"Tell me, what type of reward do you want? The association's convention is to give money, but if you want something you can't buy outside, I can help you get it," Gu Panxi said, taking out a bottle of perfume from her motorcycle and spraying it on herself.

"I want..." Wen Wen said, taking two steps forward.

Gu Panxi covered her nose and stopped the approaching Wen Wen, saying with disgust, "Wait, speak to me from a distance."

"Alright..." Wen Wen sighed deeply. "I want heavy firepower weapons, the more powerful the better."

"Heavy firepower weapons? What do you want them for?" Gu Panxi asked with a frown. Most demon hunters wanted portable weapons.

"Of course, to kill monsters." If Wen Wen had an RPG in his hand today, he might have been able to capture the lost mother body.

"Alright then, powerful demon-exterminating artifacts are not cheap, and the reward I promised might not be enough. And I can only give it to you after I've caught the lost mother body."

Wen Wen asked curiously, "Okay, but how much is the reward you promised?"

"You assisted me in finding the lost mother body, so I can give you a reward worth five thousand demon hunter coins from the reward I receive," Gu Panxi said, holding out her fingers and calculating for a moment.

"What are demon hunter coins?" Wen Wen had never heard of this before.

"It's a currency that circulates only within the Hunter Association. Only official hunters can use it. As a freelance hunter, you can't use it, so it's meaningless for you to know about it unless you officially join the association," Gu Panxi explained.

"So, do you want to join?" Gu Panxi nudged Wen Wen's arm and asked.

"Let's forget about that," Wen Wen said sheepishly. He didn't want to be restricted.
