The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 838 Bookworm Dave
The bookworm's voice was icy cold, and his attitude was incredibly resolute, taking Vanessa by surprise.
After speaking, the bookworm turned and walked away.
Even if Vanessa was brainless, she realized something was wrong. However, seeing that the other party was just an adolescent boy, she didn't take him seriously and grabbed him.
"Sorry, little guy, but you have no say in what's happening now!"
As a meta-human, Vanessa's speed and strength far exceeded that of ordinary people.
However, before she could grab the bookworm's arm, he sensed it in advance. He suddenly appeared quickly, like lightning, and preemptively grabbed Vanessa's wrist, immobilizing her.
"I told you not to meddle in other people's business. Why are you so disobedient? Stupid mortal!"
The bookworm said indifferently.
"Who exactly are you?"
Vanessa finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
Because she discovered that even with all her strength, she couldn't move her wrist even a fraction from the other party's hand.
"Hey, Dave, what are you doing? I won't allow you to be so rude to Miss Vanessa!"
Just then, a young man who was obviously taller and stronger than his peers strode over.
He pointed his finger at the bookworm, completely unaware of what was wrong.
He thought the bookworm was just his taciturn classmate, but he didn't think about why Vanessa, a dignified meta-human, could be grabbed by his classmate.
In adolescence, lust clouds the mind, and anything can be done.
Just as the sturdy young man was imagining himself as a hero saving the beauty, the bookworm suddenly reached out, and the sturdy young man flew directly into his hand.
The bookworm opened his mouth as if sucking something.
Then, the sturdy young man's complexion instantly turned haggard.
What faded was not only his complexion but also his vitality.
In just two seconds, the sturdy young man was drained of all his essence and blood, and his body seemed to be nothing but skin and bones.
The bookworm let go, and he fell limply to the ground, lifeless.
Seeing this scene, the whole place was quiet for two seconds.
As the first scream rang out, more screams followed one after another, incessantly.
When danger really came, even the most curious people didn't dare to risk their lives.
For a time, everyone scattered and fled, and the school gate was in chaos.
Boulder and Vincent finally understood Chen Xiao's intention and hurried over to help.
But Chen Xiao, so far, had no intention of taking action. He wanted to observe first.
He wanted to observe the strength of these meta-humans, and also to observe the strength of the other party, the Celestial, who had transformed into the 'bookworm'.
When the bookworm drained the sturdy young man, Vanessa also reacted quickly.
She was called Spider-Woman, and her ability was naturally related to spiders.
However, her ability wasn't to roll and jump between buildings and spit silk.
Her ability was to truly transform into a spider.
Only her upper body still retained the appearance of a human.
However, the size became more exaggerated, bursting her clothes and revealing a scene unsuitable for children.
And from her abdomen down, she was no longer human.
A huge spider abdomen, with six thin and hard spider legs like steel knives.
"I don't care who you are, today you will pay the price for what you have done!"
Vanessa shouted angrily.
Along with the shout, she spat out a ball of white spider silk, which stuck to the bookworm with lightning speed.
"Hmph, you妖妇 (yao fu, demon woman)!"
The bookworm flicked his finger, and a strange blue flame emerged, meeting the spider silk.
Before the ball of spider silk could fully unfold, it was burned clean by the blue flame and turned to ashes.
At the same time, Vanessa's steel-knife-like spider legs swept towards the bookworm.
The bookworm reached out and grabbed the spider leg, snapping it in half with a fierce twist.
"Ah—"
Vanessa let out a painful scream.
But the bookworm had no pity for her, and said indifferently, "So fond of meddling in other people's business? Since you're seeking death, then I'll grant your wish!"
As he spoke, the bookworm opened his mouth towards Vanessa, obviously intending to replicate what he had just done to the sturdy young man.
Horror appeared on Vanessa's beautiful face.
She felt something inside her body flying outwards, towards the bookworm's mouth.
Just at that critical moment, Vanessa only heard a "thump," followed by a sharp pain in her body, as if she had been hit by a speeding car.
Painful as it was, at least her life was saved.
And where she had just been standing, there stood a strong man over two meters tall with hard muscles, none other than Boulder!
It turned out that Boulder had knocked her away, saving her life.
"Thank you for saving my life, but did you have to do it this way…"
Vanessa said helplessly. Boulder's blow almost killed her!
But Boulder had no time to pay attention to Vanessa's complaints.
After he knocked Vanessa away, his figure suddenly swelled up, and his already steel-like muscles were covered with a layer of glittering silver, like mercury.
"Die!"
Boulder's large hand grabbed the bookworm's head and squeezed it hard.
The bookworm's head instantly shattered, and brain matter and blood splattered everywhere, onto Boulder's silver muscles.
At the same time, Vincent drew out the double sabers on his back and frantically attacked the bookworm's body.
Vincent's body was cut into pieces by Vincent. In the blink of an eye, only half of it was left.
Vincent wasn't doing this to vent his anger. Once, when he and his companions were fighting an enemy, he cut off the enemy's head with a knife and thought the enemy was dead, so he relaxed his guard.
But unexpectedly, the headless enemy directly pierced his companion's heart with his hand…
Since then, Vincent felt that it was necessary to dismember even dead enemies.
That's what he thought, and that's what he did, just like he's doing now.
A dozen seconds later, the bookworm's body, even the bones, had been chopped into dregs, dead beyond dead.
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my mission!"
Vincent breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Chen Xiao, pretending to be calm and breezy.
Chen Xiao glanced at the three of them and said indifferently, "You three idiots, you don't even know who your opponent is! You killed the wrong person. The one who died was Dave!"
