Chapter 143: Chapter 137: Flying Monsters
The sudden appearance of the Scorpion Spider Demon made Gao Bin and his group retreat, but it was of no avail.
From the moment they used people as bait to kill monsters, Su Han had decided not to spare a single one of them.
Being decisive in killing was one thing, but lacking any moral compass was another matter entirely.
They could have used something else as bait, but they chose to use humans for ease and a reign of terror.
It was a method, but one Su Han did not like.
So, this group of people had to die.
The shoulder plates of the Scorpion Spider Demon floated, exposing its crimson eyes. The Crimson Demon Eye was activated, and a terrifying red light instantly assaulted the Contractors' minds.
It was as harsh as being fiercely stabbed in the brain; the intense pain made them wail and almost collapse on the ground.
The Scorpion Spider Demon strode forward, hammering the remaining Angel Envoys with its heavy Wolf Fang Club, splattering blood and flesh all over the ground.
The Contractors were frightened and wanted to run. They simply couldn't handle this.
But could they escape?
The Tail Hook of the Scorpion Spider Demon kept lashing out, swiftly piercing through the heart of a Contractor, skewering four or five people on its twin tails in just a few steps, with blood pouring down and not even dead yet.
"Let's fight him!"
Some tried to risk it all to kill Su Han, but with Vital Energy Blessing, merely swinging a stolen rebar spear was enough to split the attacker in two with its sharp blood-red edge.
Death, inescapable death, in just a few minutes, dozens of people were reduced to just a handful.
Gao Bin's expression was grave, but the two Angel Envoys were barely holding on, or rather, the Double-headed Giant Claw Corpse had already had its bones shattered.
"A Song."
He immediately looked at his lieutenant. Gao Song's expression was equally grim: "I know, big brother."
Gao Song carefully backed away, nearly reaching the edge of the mist, when suddenly a red light flashed, and he summoned his Angel Envoy.
"Swoosh"
A towering figure suddenly lunged out, sweeping through the air swiftly, launching itself directly at Su Han, extremely fast, and gaining the aerial advantage, surpassing the Scorpion Spider Demon.
Damned guy!
With a fierce expression, Gao Song fixed his gaze on Su Han; this was a severe loss for them.
Among the Contractors were several High Grade experts, but now all was lost.
He had to avenge them, had to kill this man.
Su Han, detecting the movement, narrowed his eyes, clearly identifying the approaching beast, and showing a look of surprise.
The monster was entirely crimson, elongated in shape, with a pair of wings extremely vast, its face fierce, and its claws sharp, clearly resembling a gigantic bat.
The monster flew incredibly fast, and capitalizing on the element of surprise, it zoomed like a red shadow right in front of Su Han.
This was the trump card of the Gao brothers—the Bat Wing Beast.
A Second-order Monster capable of flying, this was a beast Gao Bin had risked his life to contract for his brother.
Initially just First-level Intermediate, but as one brother fought overtly and the other covertly, Gao Song always took advantage of tense moments to let the Bat Wing Beast strike from the air.
Thus, their team finally came together.
This time, the reason they had to stop at Nanwang Lake for a while was that they were eyeing the monsters in the lake, intending to contract a second Angel Envoy for Gao Song.
But now, they had only one goal—to kill Su Han.
Watching the Bat Wing Beast rapidly approach, Gao Song revealed a cruel smile. With just a few meters of distance, even you, a Second Order Contractor, definitely could not dodge.
Su Han's eyes turned cold, his body covered with Black Armor, facing the onslaught of the Bat Wing Beast directly.
He turned the rebar spear in his hand, aiming it at the Bat Wing Beast.
Vital Energy Blessing!
Red light enveloped the spearhead, and then with a swoosh, the entire rebar spear was thrust forward.
Ha, think this could bring down the Bat Wing Beast?
Gao Song sneered, for the Bat Wing Beast had devoured many monster corpses to enhance its defense.
Especially those that consumed monsters with tough outer skins and shells, under the fine fur of the Bat Wing Beast, there were many scales; breaking through its defense would not be easy...
Confident in his thoughts, Gao Song's face abruptly fell the next moment, as the rebar spear enhanced with Vital Energy Blessing pierced straight through the body of the Bat Wing Beast.
Struck heavily, the Bat Wing Beast lost its balance and rapidly plunged toward the ground, its aim now completely off.
Su Han quickly moved to intercept the Bat Wing Beast, Vital Energy Blessing on his fists, and with a crushing blow, shattered most of its bones.
The Bat Wing Beast tried to struggle, but Su Han raised his hand invoking Metal Control.
Metal chains from five meters away began to transform, arriving in front of him, sharp-ended, piercing into the body of the Bat Wing Beast and binding it securely.
By this time, the Scorpion Spider Demon had already slaughtered all Contractors, leaving only the Gao brothers, while the Double-headed Giant Claw Corpse had been beaten to a lifeless state.
The Armored Minotaur and the Alien Thorn Worm were evenly matched, their bodies filled with stabs and their movements becoming increasingly slow.
The Bonestead Rat Demon, after finishing the Double-headed Giant Claw Corpse, strode over and grabbed the arm of the Armored Minotaur.
The Armored Minotaur struggled fiercely, but the Bonestead Rat Demon firmly blocked it, and the Alien Thorn Worm stepped forward with a claw strike to the heart, severely wounding it.
Su Han stepped up to Gao Bin, whose spirit had been shocked by the death of the Double-headed Giant Claw Corpse, his face frighteningly pale.
"You are from the Nanwang Guild Hall, aren't you?"
Su Han merely asked flatly, and Gao Bin gritted his teeth: "You, you're here for revenge?"
"Let me go, it was all my brother's doing, not... it was Gao Bin's doing."
Gao Song was breaking down, unable to recall his proudly owned Bat Wing Beast, completely bound.
He was afraid, afraid that after Su Han killed the Bat Wing Beast, he would become an idiot.
In the past when dealing with Contractors, they specifically killed Angel Envoys before using them as bait.
Gao Bin looked at his younger brother incredulously. He was kneeling on the ground, wagging his tail, begging for mercy, and hysterically pointing at himself.
"Bastard!"
He cursed his brother, and veins bulged on his forehead.
Betrayal!
He had been betrayed by his own brother, even though he had never mistreated him.
"It's not my fault, really, it's not my fault."
He dared not face Gao Bin's ferocious gaze.
Everything big brother did was for my sake. As long as I survive, he would want that, and later... later I would help him take revenge.
Su Han found it somewhat amusing; brother turned against brother so quickly.
The metal in his hand transformed, forming a knife. He gripped the long knife, the blade flashed, and instantly cut off two of Gao Song's fingers.
"Ah!"
A painful wail erupted, and Su Han said indifferently, "Scream again, and I'll cut off your hand."
Gao Song's body shivered. A chill ran up his spine to his brain, and he desperately covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound no matter how painful it was.
However, the resentment in his eyes was hard to completely hide. He could only desperately lower his head.
Su Han didn't pay attention to these things. People were going to die, and they needed to make themselves useful before they died.
"Tell me where you contracted this Bat Wing Beast."
"Don't tell him!"
Although Gao Bin really hated his thankless younger brother, he hated Su Han before him even more.
He knew what Su Han's calm expression meant. They were definitely going to die today.
"Pfft"
The sharp scorpion tail pierced through Gao Bin's shoulder, suspending him mid-air, causing him to continuously wail in pain.
But this time, Su Han didn't tell him to shut up.
Killing the chicken to scare the monkey; it's necessary to let the chicken scream a bit.
Gao Song trembled like chaff. Fear completely overtook his mind, and under Su Han's control, the Scorpion Spider Demon hung Gao Bin above his head.
The warm blood flowing out continuously dripped on his head.
"I... I want to live, let me live, I'll tell you everything."
"Pfft"
The knife slashed, another finger gone.
The intense pain hit instantly, but Gao Song's eyes widened and he desperately covered his mouth, not daring to scream in pain.
"Speak."
"I'll speak, I'll speak!"
Gao Song didn't dare set conditions anymore: "At Riverside East Garden, there... there's an unfinished building, it's full of bat monsters! Gao Bin captured the Bat Wing Beast there for me, but... but they multiplied too quickly, and we were forced to change locations."
He explained everything in detail, from where his team originally hid to how many people they had killed, how many things they had robbed, and what monsters they encountered... he spilled everything.
He was terrified of omitting something that would provoke Su Han to kill him.
Gao Bin wanted to interrupt Gao Song, that idiot, more than once, but just as he was about to shout, the scorpion's sharp tail hook slowly pierced into his shoulder and then slowly pulled out.
Time and again, the pain made him continuously wail.
And the more he wailed in pain, the faster and more thorough down below, the blood-soaked Gao Song rambled on.
He was completely terrified; now he just wanted to survive.
As time ticked by, there were fewer and fewer things Gao Song could ramble on about, after all, apart from following his brother around for fun, this guy never really took care of the raiding team's affairs.
The dripping sound of blood slowed, and suddenly Gao Song violently realized that the wailing had stopped.
He slowly looked up; Gao Bin hanging from the scorpion's tail was now silent.
Dead!
Really dead!
Panic surged in his heart, Gao Song knocked his head on the ground, "Let me live, I can be your dog. The Bat Wing Beast can fly, I can be useful to you. I... I am best at sneak attacks."
Su Han smiled and nodded, leading Gao Song to think he had a chance to live, only for Su Han to say, "Also good at biting back, right?"
The blade flashed, and kneeling Gao Song was split in two from head to foot, blood gushing out.
The Scorpion Spider Demon swung its tail, flinging a string of bodies into the lake, dyeing the water even redder.
Having slaughtered so many Angel Envoys and Contractors by the lake, plenty of blood had already flowed into it.
"Whoosh"
The lake water suddenly churned, and suddenly pairs of terrifying red eyes emerged in the water, and a large number of Armored Crocodiles and Giant Crocodile Monsters surged over.
They were attracted by the food, numbering in the hundreds. Their eerie eyes all stared at Su Han.
Su Han gripped his long knife, his expression unchanged. Since they had all come, he might as well kill a round of crocodiles.
However, just at that moment, the lake water churned violently, and a terrifying roar erupted.
Su Han's expression tensed, and he sharply turned towards the center of the lake. A terrifying wave was surging towards him.
"This doesn't look like Second Order!"
