My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 96 - 95 I Have a Bold Idea
Chapter 96: Chapter 95 I Have a Bold Idea
Boom.
Boom.
A black-purple mushroom cloud exploded above the Rock Barrier, cracking and shattering the barrier, with rubble and dust scattering down.
By the time the smoke and dust had cleared, there was no sign of those people behind the barrier.
“Hiss!”
An exasperated hiss echoed in the silence, the Split-eyed Demon Spider quite dissatisfied with not having eliminated those people.
...
But for a man-made mutant creature like itself, although its strength had increased rapidly, it also had significant flaws.
To break the limits of its own species and maintain such a large body size, its energy consumption was enormous; its successive attacks a moment ago had left it somewhat fatigued.
Its eight ominous spider eyes, swirled with blood, swept over its kin that were enthusiastically scavenging the sticky fluid behind it, and it slowly lifted its forelimb.
“Hiss! Jii~”
As the kin struggled and wailed on its forelimb, the Split-eyed Demon Spider’s indifferent gaze showed no flicker of emotion, its terrifying mouth constantly drooling.
With one bite, juices and splinters flew chaotically, its outer fangs spinning like a meat grinder.
…
With a thud,
The Stone-armored Giant Rhinoceros, shielded by the Earth Protection energy shield, knelt down, its body trembling uncontrollably due to excessive consumption, resting its head on the ground and breathing heavily through its nostrils.
Previously, the Rock Barrier, constructed under the Earth Protection’s delay, held up just enough against the Split-eyed Demon Spider’s attacks, and behind its cover, it had managed to take a few people out of the attack range.
They were now behind a building on the edge of a battlefield that had been leveled, with a few burned-out car shells parked haphazardly. Through the dilapidated building, they could vaguely see the distant Split-eyed Demon Spider.
They were not certain why the Split-eyed Demon Spider had not chased them, lingering in its place, up to who knows what; but for them, this was a modest piece of good news.
Hiding behind the rundown building, the three people kept a wary eye toward the Split-eyed Demon Spider, guarding against a sudden attack while ensuring it did not leave their sight.
At that moment, Chen Zhenglong suddenly said, “Director, look quick, it’s devouring its own kind!”
“What!” Yang Qian was startled and strained his presbyopic eyes to look, um…
After a long look, Yang Qian saw nothing. However, now was not the time to scrutinize its habits. He composed his face and lightly coughed, speaking indifferently, “Let’s do as I just said. You take Shao Zifeng and the others and leave this place first. I’ll rest a bit and keep it occupied.”
Chen Zhenglong remained silent and lifted the unconscious Luo Feng, sliding down from one side of the Giant Rhinoceros.
Seeing this, Shao Zifeng also slid down after him. Just as he touched the ground, his right leg gave out, and a stream of dark red blood surged from the wound.
“Zifeng!” Chen Zhenglong hastily dropped Luo Feng to the ground and rushed over to hold Shao Zifeng, his eyes full of concern.
Shao Zifeng, with a pale face, managed a pained smile, “Chen Big Brother, I’m alright, go help Director Luo.”
Chen Zhenglong glanced at Luo Feng lying on the ground and signaled the Dancing Ape with his eyes.
The Dancing Ape scratched its fuzzy head with a big hand, quickly grasping the meaning of its master.
It ran over to pick up Luo Feng, tucking him into the crook of its arm, and then gave Chen Zhenglong a thumbs up.
Shao Zifeng watched their little gestures, a faint smile on his face, warmth growing in his heart, “Brother Chen, ask Elder Yang to come down first, I have something to say to him.”

Chen Zhenglong hesitated for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.
“Zifeng, no problems with your injuries, huh? But you, you were capable enough to take one down under those circumstances, you’ve got the spunk I had back in the day, haha.” Holding a crinkled cigarette in his mouth, Yang Qian was about to light it before he pocketed the lighter again.
Although his face bore a smile, the worry between his brows was impossible to hide.
While talking to Shao Zifeng, his gaze frequently shifted towards the direction of the Split-eyed Demon Spider.
It was uncertain whether he could clearly see what was happening there.
Shao Zifeng shook his head slightly to indicate he was fine, and then said, “Elder Yang, I’ve encountered these mutant creatures before.”
Ever since Yang Qian first mentioned the plan, Shao Zifeng had thought about how to relay the information he knew. Rather than waiting for an uncertain rescue, he was more eager for Yang Qian and Chen Zhenglong to continue living and defending Su City.
Yang Qian was stunned, and then asked eagerly, “You’ve seen them?”
Understanding the abilities and traits of this sudden emergence of an unknown species would undoubtedly make his delaying plan much easier.
Shao Zifeng nodded solemnly, then began to tell him about the encounter with the Split-eyed Demon Spider on the outskirts of the city the last time.
Of course, there were truths and fabrications; for instance, he had never witnessed the Split-eyed Demon Spider’s so-called Big Explosion ability, and could only piece together the information provided on the screen to tell Yang Qian about its possession of that ability.
“It has another ability, I don’t know if it’s a skill or a talent, at the very least I haven’t seen this skill in the official published list of abilities. It can shoot a kind of gray ray from the lumps on its back, the places hit by it will be instantly disintegrated, but fortunately, this disintegration only exists at the point of impact and does not spread.”
“Also, this mutant creature is much bigger than the ones I’ve encountered before. Normally, the size of the same type of mutant creatures shouldn’t differ so greatly, there must be some issue here.”
“Like just now, after it released a few abilities, it did not immediately pursue us, and I have two theories. One, its large size is not conducive to moving, but this can be basically ruled out. Two, judging from its behavior of devouring its kind, I suspect that it must have a large energy consumption and needs to devour its kin to restore energy.”
After speaking in one go, Shao Zifeng was slightly out of breath, his face even paler, but his heart felt exceptionally light. He had shared everything he knew and deduced with them, hoping it would be of some help to them.
Yang Qian listened intently, furrowing his brow from time to time.
He did not doubt the authenticity of the information provided by Shao Zifeng and even agreed with his deductions.
However, such abilities were too inconceivable; he had never heard of a skill that could ignore defense and disintegrate all physical or energy matter.
Just then, Chen Zhenglong jumped in and said, “Chief, if we go by what Zifeng says, then I’m the best candidate to stay behind and delay it. The Stone-armored Giant Rhinoceros is too big and not agile, it would be completely countered by that ability.”
Yang Qian shook his head and said, “Bullshit, I’m not dead yet, why is it your turn to be at the front? Besides, my Earth Protection is not for show.”
The Earth Protection, squatting to one side, straightened its body even more upon hearing its master’s words, gazing steadfastly ahead, motionless, but its slightly wagging tail betrayed its inner delight.
The two stared at each other, each unwilling to back down.
“Cough, I have an idea,” Shao Zifeng interrupted the standoff with a light cough, a weary but sincere smile on his pale face.
Reflected in his pupils was the distant flame that had not yet extinguished, and suddenly, an idea came to him.
