Cheat Awakening-Chapter 713 - . Stalking The Monster

Several monsters crawled through the street, saliva dripping from their mouths and emitting a foul odour as it hit the ground. Their scarlet eyes flashed in the darkness as if searching for a delectable meal.

Meanwhile, the others explored the tower, believing Myne's game was over, convinced he couldn't possibly survive alone against those creatures.

Myne, on the other hand, was concealed behind one of the monsters and leisurely followed it. Strangely, this monster hissed as it crawled down the street, constantly looking around for prey as if it hadn't noticed the person right behind its ass.

"It seems that these monsters really rely on hearing to identify positions. In the dark, their vision is also limited. As long as you don't stand in front of them stupidly, you won't be discovered."

Of course, this was primarily due to Myne activating the special effect of his Dark Wind Boots.

[ Name: Dark Wind Boots

Type: Equipment

Quality: Ordinary

Consumption: 10 Mana

Function: After activating, enter a stealth state for five minutes, and agility increases by 5%. In a dark environment, all movement sounds are reduced by 90%, and movement speed is increased by 30%. Movement speed scales with the agility attribute, with a maximum bonus of 50 points. ]

After activating his boots' effect, his figure seemed to melt into the darkness, utterly silent. Almost all the zombies and monsters were completely oblivious to his presence; he moved as effortlessly as a fish in water, able to do whatever he pleased. He could have directly entered the tower safely, head held high, without breaking a sweat.

However, he chose not to. Myne's gaze was fixed on the top of the monster in the distance, where a deep red exclamation mark was visible only to him.

{ Follow this mutant zombie; perhaps you will find something? }

"It truly doesn't want to make things easy for me, continually forcing me into potentially deadly situations," Myne muttered to himself.

Despite the life-threatening nature of following a mutant zombie, Myne wouldn't pass up any opportunity for a reward. Moreover, although the effect of Dark Wind Boots only lasted for five minutes, it had no cooldown. Each activation consumed a mere 10 mana, a negligible amount for him, considering his nearly 2000 mana points. With this reserve, he could easily remain in stealth mode for the entire night without any worry.

While following the monster, Myne's eyes were focused, his expression remarkably calm in the night. His steps were steady and silent as he moved through the streets like a ghost. He didn't need to follow too closely, as long as he kept the creature in sight. This monster wasn't particularly fast as it wandered randomly. In the darkness, it would occasionally snatch a few zombies, tear them apart, and devour them.

Then, it gradually headed in a specific direction within the city.

"These mutant monsters seem to have their own nests, and it should be heading towards one now."

This wasn't a difficult deduction. After all, this group of monsters seemed unable to appear outside during the day because the sun's ultraviolet rays were too dangerous for them, much like vampires. They would also burn to death upon direct contact and could only venture out at night, implying they must have a hiding place.

Myne followed cautiously, constantly scanning his surroundings, not wanting to be ambushed by the monsters unknowingly.

After nearly an hour of seemingly aimless wandering, the monster finally stopped outside an abandoned parking lot.

With a surprising degree of intent, it moved a large pile of iron debris blocking the parking lot entrance, revealing a hole.

Then, it crawled inside, leaving Myne dumbfounded. The level of intelligence the monster displayed at that moment seemed far beyond its supposed capabilities, suggesting it had been feigning idiocy until now and could indeed possess some degree of wisdom.

Despite the many doubts swirling in his mind, Myne was still pleased that he had finally made some progress.

However, he didn't rush in but waited silently to avoid any unexpected events. What if the monster had somehow detected his presence with some unknown ability and was hiding inside the hole, waiting to see if it had been followed? If the monster were truly brainless, only knowing how to hunt and sleep, Myne wouldn't be so cautious. But concealing the entrance to its nest wasn't something a mindless zombie would typically do, which was why he was so wary.

"These mutant zombies seem special. They possess a certain IQ and even the ability to think... This doesn't sound good."

Seems like it's time to call for some help, Myne thought with a smile and quickly summoned Waffle, Ocea, and Ted. Three small, bright balls of light appeared in front of him out of nowhere, and in the next moment, they transformed into the shapes of a wolf, a dog, and a small whale.

"Phew, finally out of that creepy box, Myne! Couldn't you have summoned us earlier? Do you have any idea how many of those foggy monsters were drooling after seeing me? They almost overturned my small box, what that lady in my head ( system ) called the lobby!" Waffle exclaimed, turning his head towards Myne as soon as he opened his eyes, immediately launching into a complaint.

"Yes, these monsters seem a bit too interested in Waffle. They are behaving as if they have fallen in love with him at first sight." Ocea, who was finally able to escape from house arrest and was in a very good mood, didn't forget to make a joke.

Only Ted was a bit serious and looked around curiously, trying to figure out where they were.

"Alright, alright, stop making trouble, you two. We are not on vacation. This is a dangerous world, and we are currently standing in front of a crazy, powerful monster's nest. You better not make noise." Myne paused, then turned to Ocea. "By the way, Ocea, how was your vacation going?"

Myne, who wanted to be serious but couldn't hold back his curiosity, asked.

"It was boring as hell. Although Grandpa didn't scold me, he instead encouraged me to go on more such adventures after Mother left. But in the end, in front of his angry daughter, he was also helpless and could only assure me that he would talk to her later. So then, except for playing with some stupid fish and sleeping, I had nothing to do, which was driving me nuts. But thankfully, you summoned me, and I was able to escape from that prison."

"Well, hopefully, Cetus won't vent her anger on me after learning that you weren't accepting your punishment honestly. I'd better talk to her about it before she pays me a visit," Myne said with a helpless smile. Then he ordered Waffle and Ted to walk ahead, Ocea to handle the backside, while he himself stood in the middle, holding the butcher knife in his hand.

After observing the formation and looking at his three bodyguards, he nodded with satisfaction, he ordered them to move forward, walking toward the parking lot.

The interior space of this parking lot was quite large. In the dark environment, with moonlight projected from the window, some outlines could be seen very clearly.

"The monster walked this way," Myne looked at the traces on the ground and continued walking inside.

The further he walked in, he found that this parking lot was deeper and bigger than he had imagined. The inside seemed more complicated as if it had been modified by someone for a special purpose.

And soon he heard the monster roar, but the sound was not a hideous or angry one like before, but soft, as if it was licking something, and enjoying it a lot. freёnovelkiss.com

Myne squinted his eyes and ordered everyone to be vigilant before sticking his head against the wall. Then he saw a very strange scene.

The bloody monster with a terrifying body was lying outside a thickened iron gate, biting a piece of raw meat placed in an iron basin.

A faint light shone through the iron gate, illuminating a human shadow watching everything silently.

One minute later.

The monster swallowed all the meat into its stomach, and then its rotten head began to sprout hair inch by inch. The terrifying flesh and blood body also had growing skin, and the scarlet pupils seemed to be turning black.

The monster roared, but this time it wasn't so crazy; it gave the feeling of being in great pain. Then it became quiet, fell to the ground, and panted slightly, with a bit of a humanlike quality.

This situation lasted for a minute.

However, at this moment.

The monster twitched all over, all the hair fell off, and the skin growing on its whole body quickly rotted. The pupils turned bloodthirsty and crazy red again and let out a terrifying roar.

The figure inside the iron gate sighed, and then a lot of ultraviolet light lit up around it. The light burned the monster, and it immediately fled in pain.

After confirming that the monster had left the parking lot through another passage behind the iron cells, the figure slowly opened the heavily guarded iron door of the cell.

Just as he squatted on the ground and picked up tweezers to collect the hair and skin samples of the monster, Myne had already stood beside him quietly, with a butcher knife against his neck.

"Don't move, otherwise your body will be the one lying on the ground next."
