After realizing that he had picked up a cell phone and shoved it into the zombie’s mouth, Xiao Licheng figured that the muffled noise he heard just now was caused when the zombie’s teeth crushed the phone. He turned both his hands into stones and pushed the zombie away from himself, then made a roll on the ground and stood up to move as far away as the zombie as possible.
As he steadied himself, he saw the zombie stand up as well, covering his mouth with both hands. He narrowed his eyes to look at the zombie carefully and found that it seemed to try and dig something out of his mouth.

Hrrr…

It was dark, but as a level-six superpower possessor, Xiao Licheng had great eyesight at night. He didn’t see things as clearly as he did during the daytime, but he could still see the zombie pretty clearly, as the latter wasn’t far away.
He saw that the cell phone which he put into the zombie’s mouth just now seemed to be stuck between its teeth.


He didn’t know what to say.
He wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to express his feelings.
Right at that moment, the zombie finally pulled the cell phone out of its mouth with both hands, causing a loud crack.
Xiao Licheng took a mini flashlight out of his trousers and turned it on, then found that the cell phone had indeed been cracked by the zombie’s teeth. The screen of that phone was now filled with spider-web-like cracks. A white teeth was stuck in the middle of that spider web.
Xiao Licheng didn’t understand why the zombie’s teeth were more fragile than the screen of the phone.
Weren’t zombies able to chew human bones like beans?
At that moment, a red figure flashed across the corners of Xiao Licheng’s eyes, creating a swishing sound. He leaped away immediately, then made a roll on the ground. He didn’t stop moving after that, but sprung up from the ground and quickly created a thick earth wall before himself.
Bang! The gigantic red figure landed where he was, then swung both claws at the ground and created a pit.
Xiao Licheng turned and found that the level-five zombie had disappeared again. Meanwhile, the underground gorilla hopped out of the pit and turned toward him. It didn’t have eyes, but he felt that it was staring at him.
The underground gorilla was fast, but so was Yun Meng. She showed up soon and fiercely swung her claws at the underground gorilla’s neck. The latter tilted its head and easily dodged her attack, then turned around and raised both arms to catch her.


Seeing that the situation was worsening for her, Yun Meng immediately turned and wagged her tail, her body automatically turning invisible. However, the gorilla kept reaching its claws toward her, as if it could still sense her even after she turned invisible.
Yun Meng dodged its claws and flashed onto a streetlight to hide herself. At that point, Xiao Licheng took the opportunity to create a safe distance between himself and that dangerous creature.
The underground gorilla was a large as a buffalo, about four meters tall when it stood up. It abruptly paused, then widened its mouth and let out a series of weird sounds.

Roar…
Then, it started scratching its own chest; its sharp claws broke its skin.
Yun Meng landed beside Xiao Licheng and watched the underground gorilla’s weird behavior as she said with confusion,
What is it doing?

Xiao Licheng shook his head. He was already safe, but he still looked around carefully, worried that the zombie might suddenly show up again.
The zombie disappeared once the underground creature showed up. It seemed that he was afraid of that creature. Why wasn’t he afraid of Wu Chengyue and Yun Meng?

Roarrrr…
The underground gorilla soon made its own chest bleed, even hunching its back in pain.
What was going on?
Xiao Licheng confusedly pointed the flashlight on the gorilla and saw the dark-brown blood gush out from the wound on its chest and drip on the ground.


Yun Meng moved toward Xiao Licheng and asked him,
Are you hurt?


No. I’m fine,
Xiao Licheng shook his head and said.
Yun Meng laughed with confusion,
Did that zombie bring you away because he didn’t want that thing to eat you? So possessive!

Xiao Licheng stayed silent. ‘That is not funny! 
‘ he thought.
While they were talking, the huge creature thudded loudly on the ground and let out weird screams from its mouth while rolling and struggling.

Is there something on its chest?
Xiao Licheng looked at the creature and asked. It was still scratching its chest and kicking its legs.
Yun Meng nodded in agreement, then suddenly turned back and said with surprise,
I think so. Eh, the rest of them have started running!

The giant underground gorilla had stopped moving by the time Wu Chengyue and Lin Qiao arrived.

Did you do this?
Wu Chengyue turned to Lin Qiao and asked. He sensed a trace of her vibe from the underground gorilla.
Lin Qiao slapped his hand off her, then moved closer to the underground gorilla. After that, she raised her hands to control the dark mist and made it spread inside the gorilla’s body.


The dark mist had grown much stronger than before as it had just absorbed a good amount of physical energy from the creature. Under Lin Qiao’s control, it spread and turned thinner.
At that moment, the creature’s chest had been emptied. The dark mist spread and started to devour its flesh and blood. Before long, Xiao Licheng and Yun Meng saw the buffalo-sized underground gorilla shrink all of a sudden.
After hearing Wu Chengyue’s question, the two of them finally figured out why the underground gorilla suddenly began scratching its own chest.
Xiao Licheng shone his flashlight on the gorilla’s body and found a hole on its flattened back. A few wisps of dark mist drifted out of the hole and started spreading on the creature’s back as if it was alive.
Soon, the people on the scene watched the underground gorilla’s body disappear, leaving only its head and four claws.
Lin Qiao raised a hand, and the dark mist flew back to her and drilled into her palm. She released a little-finger-sized stream of mist earlier, but an arm-sized stream went back to her.
She walked over and collected the remains of the creatures, preparing to bring them back for Leng Xuantong to study. At that point, Xiao Licheng abruptly clicked his tongue and said,
Eh, again!

Following his voice, the others saw a figure sneak out from a corner, then suddenly charge at him again.
The zombie saw the underground creature die, so he came back to attack its target again.
