The sharp glass tip of the spear pierced the body of the licker that lunged at it precisely, but it did not penetrate as deeply as expected.
The monster's muscle tissue was exceptionally tough; the spear tip got stuck after only penetrating a few inches.
A tremendous impact force was instantly transmitted along the spear shaft to Su Hui's arm.
"clang!"
The Licker swung its gleaming claws and slammed them hard against the spear shaft.
A tremendous force suddenly came.
Su Hui felt a violent jolt in his arm, a tearing pain in his hand, and he staggered backward uncontrollably, his back slamming heavily against the cold stair railing.
The simple spear in his hand almost flew out of his grasp.
The licker was also blocked by the spear, its attack forcefully interrupted.
The licker missed its target and landed silently.
Its muscular limbs gripped the ground firmly, its sharp claws carving deep marks into the floor with a screeching sound.
The landing was instantaneous.
Before Su Hui could regain his footing...
"call out!"
Without any pause, the licker's scarlet tongue, like a lurking venomous snake, suddenly sprang out from its giant mouth!
With a strong, fishy smell, it went straight for Su Hui's face!
Its tongue was covered with fine barbs, glistening with thick saliva, and had a pungent, fishy odor.
The distance is too close!
Extremely fast!
Su Hui's pupils contracted sharply. The hard clash just now had made his blood surge, but the life-or-death situation made his adrenaline surge.
At the critical moment, he suddenly twisted his body and turned his head to the side.
The foul-smelling, sticky tongue almost grazed his cheek, a few drops of corrosive saliva splashing onto the wall beside him, making a soft "sizzling" sound and rising a few wisps of white smoke.
so close!
Su Hui immediately retreated, quickly increasing the distance between himself and the Licker, and gripped the spear that had almost slipped from his hand.
That head-on collision just now made him realize that this level 8 monster was far stronger than him, and that fighting head-on was definitely not the best strategy.
We must exploit its weaknesses.
Su Hui's cold gaze swept over the monster's exposed, slightly pulsating brain, and a plan instantly formed in his mind.
"Harley!"
He calmly uttered a low murmur.
"Move to my left and hit the wall or the ground with the axe to make some noise and attract it!"
"Chad!"
Su Hui's gaze shifted to the corner of the corridor, to the man who was pale with fright, clutching his pistol but not daring to approach.
"I'll draw its attention to its head! You find an opportunity, aim for its head! Shoot at close range!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unquestionable commanding tone, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
Harley was pulled behind Su Hui, her heart still pounding and her face still flushed, but she didn't hesitate at all when she heard Su Hui's command.
Fear still lingered, but an almost blind trust in Su Hui outweighed everything else.
"it is good!"
She tightened her grip on the fire axe, took a deep breath, and quickly moved to a position a few steps to Su Hui's left, as instructed by Su Hui.
Chad, however, hesitated.
Close-range shooting?
That means getting close to that terrifying monster!
His legs went weak as he looked at the Licker's grotesque appearance and the gruesome sight of Jamal's death.
"Hurry up! Do you want us all to die here?!"
Su Hui's voice suddenly turned sharp, like an ice pick piercing Chad.
The threat of death is the best motivator.
Chad shuddered, looking at Su Hui's cold, emotionless eyes, then at the Licker closing in, and gritted his teeth.
He knew that if they didn't listen to Su Hui, they might really all die.
"understood!"
Chad raised his gun tremblingly and cautiously peered out from around the corner, trying to find an angle to fire, but the distance was still too far, and the Licker was moving.
Just then, Harley moved.
She mustered her courage, swung the fire axe in her hand with all her might, and smashed it hard against the wall next to her!
"clang!"
The crisp, loud clanging of metal was particularly jarring in the quiet corridor.
Hey! Monster! Look this way!
Harley gave a sharp cry, her voice trembling slightly with nervousness, but she successfully attracted the attention of the Licker.
Lickers are extremely sensitive to sound.
Its eyeless face abruptly turned toward Harley, who was making noise, its empty eye sockets seemingly locking onto its target.
"hiss--!"
The Licker let out a sharp hiss, abandoned Su Hui in front of it, and its huge body suddenly turned to Harley, using its hind legs to push off, its sharp claws slashing at the tiny human who dared to provoke it!
Harley turned pale with fright and reacted instantly when she saw the Licker turn, falling to the side.
This prior preparation saved her life; the Licker's attack missed, and Harley dodged the fatal claw.
"Crack!"
The Licker's claws slammed against the wall, leaving several shocking deep scratches on the hard surface, sending shards of stone flying.
It's now!
A cold glint flashed in Su Hui's eyes.
The moment the Licker turned to attack Harley, exposing his vulnerable side to him, Su Hui moved!
He lowered his center of gravity and moved forward with the speed and silence of a cheetah.
The spear in his hand was no longer a probing move, but was infused with all his strength. Like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, it pierced fiercely towards the Licker's chest with a whooshing sound!
Although the muscles there are tough, they are not its weak point!
Su Hui's goal was clear: not to kill with one shot, but to inflict damage, further attract hatred, and create the best shooting opportunity for Chad!
"Pfft!"
This time, the spear, imbued with power, successfully pierced the Licker's muscle tissue!
Although it still encountered great resistance, the sharp glass spear tip still pierced in more than half a foot!
Dark red blood gushed out instantly!
【-78! 】
A damage number popped up on Su Hui's retina.
efficient!
"Hiss—Aow!!"
The intense pain drives the licker mad!
It let out an even sharper, more painful screech and twisted its body violently.
That scarlet tongue, like a wildly dancing whip, swept across Su Hui, who was right in front of him, with a whistling sound!
Too fast! Too wide!
Su Hui didn't have time to draw his spear and was forced to let go, his body leaning back rapidly while rolling backward, barely managing to dodge the deadly sweep.
The long tongue brushed past the tip of his nose, and the strong wind stung his cheek.
The licker had a spear half-pierced through its chest, dripping with blood, making it look even more horrifying.
It seemed to be completely enraged and realized that the human in front of it was the biggest threat.
It abandoned Harley, who had just gotten up and was still in shock, turned around abruptly, landed on all fours, its muscles bulging, and locked onto Su Hui, who was retreating!
The exposed brain throbbed violently with anger and pain, and thick saliva dripped down.
It wants to tear apart the human who hurt it first!
"Chad! Fire! Shoot it in the head!!"
Su Hui watched as the Licker prepared to pounce again, retreating to maintain distance while shouting fiercely at Chad.
This is the best opportunity!
The Licker faced him head-on, exposing its greatest weakness—its exposed brain—almost entirely to Chad's side-facing shooting angle!
Chad saw an opportunity at that moment.
The Licker's attention was completely drawn to Su Hui, and the spear in his chest seemed to slightly affect his movements.
The threat of death, Su Hui's orders, and a sliver of desire to survive helped Chad overcome some of his fear.
He gripped the Glock pistol tightly with both hands, his arms trembling slightly with tension, but this time, he managed to steady himself.
aim!
That exposed, throbbing pink brain!
"Die! Monster!"
Chad roared, as if to bolster his courage, and then pulled the trigger hard!
"boom!"
The first bullet whistled out!
It accurately hit the licker's torso near the shoulder!
The bullet tore through the tough muscle, spraying a spray of blood.
【-45! 】
The licker jolted violently, and in pain, its lunge at Su Hui faltered almost imperceptibly.
"boom!"
Immediately afterwards, a second shot rang out!
This shot embodied all of Chad's courage and luck!
The bullet pierced the dim air with a deathly whistle, striking the Licker's exposed and unprotected brain with perfect accuracy!
"Pfft——!!"
A clear, muffled thud was heard!
Like an overripe watermelon being struck by a heavy object!
Red and white brain matter mixed with dark red blood suddenly spurted outwards!
The Licker lunged at Su Hui's body, but froze abruptly in mid-air!
It let out a short, strange hiss, then crashed to the ground, its limbs twitching uncontrollably.
[-245! Fatal Blow!]
A huge red damage number floated in front of Su Hui's eyes.
