In the forest, towering trees with lush branches and leaves obscured the light, making the surroundings very dark.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, hanging low and oppressively, creating an indescribable sense of depression. Among the towering trees, there were also various nameless weeds and bushes that were more than a person's height.
Su Yu, Zhang Zhongmou, Qin Jiagui, Ning Yan, Ma Ziye and the other thirty people in the group were holding wooden sticks, police batons, or baseball bats in their hands. They made their way laboriously deeper into the forest ahead, following the thickets of weeds and the branches and leaves stretching out horizontally. Unexpectedly, after walking less than a few hundred meters, a "rustling" sound suddenly came from all around.
Suddenly, Su Yu and the other thirty people stopped. From the weeds and bushes more than a person's height around them, a group of green-skinned monsters emerged without any warning, and they were immediately surrounded.
"Ah—" Someone couldn't help but let out a scream of surprise. There was a commotion in the group of thirty people. The sudden appearance of so many green-skinned monsters made everyone's hearts pound with fear.
At a glance, Su Yu realized that there were at least a dozen green-skinned monsters in this group. Almost without giving them time to think, these green-skinned monsters let out sharp roars and pounced on them from all sides.
"There are only fifteen of them, just half of our number. There's nothing to be afraid of." Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded with a hint of indifference. Then, Su Yu saw Ma Ziye from the Foreign Languages Department rushing out first.
Among the twelve people with strange powers in this group, except for Su Yu, Ma Ziye had killed the most green-skinned monsters. It was said that her family ran a martial arts gym, so she had quite a foundation in martial arts.
Su Yu saw her rush out with a stride. Her stance was indeed different from that of an ordinary person.
There was no time to think more. The green-skinned monsters waved their wooden sticks and rushed up to them. In this critical moment, ignoring the burning pain in his right shoulder, Su Yu held a wooden stick in his left hand and smashed it at a green-skinned monster.
Four black scales emerged on the back of his hand, and the strange power in his left arm surged. Su Yu's current strength was almost four times that of a green-skinned monster. With just one swing of the stick, he smashed the green-skinned monster that pounced at the front, making it stagger back more than a dozen steps and then sit down on the ground with a thud.
Even the simple-minded green-skinned monster showed a hint of horror on its ugly face.
"Ah—"
"Roar—" Two miserable roars came from the other side. Su Yu couldn't help but turn his head and saw two people falling to the ground. They were hit by wooden sticks, and their flesh and blood were flying everywhere. It was obvious that they couldn't survive.
Qin Jiagui let out a fierce shout. He tightly gripped the wooden stick in both hands and smashed it heavily. It collided with the wooden stick of a green-skinned monster. With a muffled "bang" sound in the air, both sides' footsteps wavered, and they were evenly matched.
Another tall man saw the opportunity and struck the back of the green-skinned monster's head with a stick.
The green-skinned monster let out a painful roar and swung its hand back. With a "bang" sound, it hit the man.
This tall man was a physical education teacher in the school. He was strong and healthy, but after being hit by a stick from the green-skinned monster, his breastbone was completely broken, his chest caved in, and blood oozed out from his mouth, nostrils, and ears.
He opened his mouth wide and took several steps back. He seemed to want to say something, but his head was hit by another stick from a green-skinned monster. Immediately, blood spattered, and his brains were blown out, and he died on the spot.
Just as Su Yu had waved away a green-skinned monster and turned his head to see this tragic scene, his heart ached.
This was the physical education teacher who taught them. He was very humorous and often joked with the male students in their class. He didn't have the airs of a teacher. So although they didn't have a very deep friendship, they were quite familiar with each other.
Seeing him die a tragic death now, Su Yu instinctively took a step forward and frantically smashed several sticks at that green-skinned monster.
The green-skinned monster waved its stick to block, but unexpectedly, the stick in its hand flew out as soon as it touched Su Yu's wooden stick. The green-skinned monster took all of Su Yu's subsequent sticks. Its head and chest were all caved in, and it died even more miserably than the physical education teacher.
Another green-skinned monster that was smashed flying by Su Yu just tried to struggle to get up, but it was surrounded by two students holding baseball bats. Although these two students didn't have strange powers, they swung their baseball bats and frantically smashed at the fallen green-skinned monster. Green juice splashed. Soon, one of the students seemed to feel something and looked at his right hand. There were strange black silk-like spots emerging on the back of his right hand.
The green-skinned monster on the ground had been killed by their joint efforts. The final fatal blow was from this student. So the black crystal in the green-skinned monster's body was absorbed by his right hand, and this student finally became a new person with strange powers.
Blood was splashing and miserable roars were constantly heard in the field. Some were from teachers and students, and some were the sharp and miserable roars from the green-skinned monsters. From time to time, people or green-skinned monsters fell down.
Qin Jiagui suddenly let out a wild shout. The wooden stick in his hand and the wooden stick in the hand of the green-skinned monster coming towards him both flew out of their hands, and then their two bodies rolled together.
"Die—" Qin Jiagui shouted fiercely. His right arm tightly twisted the neck of the green-skinned monster, and the claws of the green-skinned monster scratched him, making his chest covered in blood, and he kept howling in pain.
The strange power in his right arm gushed out continuously, and the force became greater and greater. With a series of "crack" "crack" sounds, the neck of the green-skinned monster was finally broken by him.
When another green-skinned monster was hit in the body by Su Yu with a stick and flew out obliquely like withered grass, from yesterday to today, the total number of green-skinned monsters that had died at his hands exceeded ten. Gradually, he learned some experience in dealing with these green-skinned monsters.
After having strange powers several times that of the green-skinned monsters, the group of green-skinned monsters that had originally been extremely terrifying in Su Yu's eyes suddenly seemed a bit vulnerable.
The fifth black scale had emerged on the back of his left hand. Most of the fifteen green-skinned monsters had already died. Su Yu waved the wooden stick in his hand and smashed away the wooden stick in the hand of a green-skinned monster. Relying on his strength several times that of the opponent, he could easily shake the opponent's tiger's mouth (the area between the thumb and index finger) until it burst, making the opponent's wooden stick fly out of their hand. Then, while the opponent stumbled back, he stepped forward and swung the stick to smash, knocking the opponent's head and causing blood to flow and brains to burst.
This series of actions could deal with one green-skinned monster in just a blink of an eye, about one or two seconds.
Before they knew it, the others all stopped. They watched as Su Yu's right hand hung in front of his chest, and he swung the stick with only his left hand, rushing into the group of green-skinned monsters. It was as if a tiger was rampaging through a flock of sheep, invincible.
A delicate and forceful shout sounded, pulling everyone back to their senses. They saw Ma Ziye from the Foreign Languages Department take a quick step and suddenly kick a green-skinned monster in the chest. This kick was extremely powerful. The green-skinned monster let out a sharp howl and its body flipped out heavily.
Qin Jiagui had just broken the neck of a green-skinned monster. Sensing the more powerful strange power surging in his right arm, the patch with a black metallic luster on the back of his right hand had also grown to the size of a fingernail. After seeing Ma Ziye's performance, he muttered to himself: "So her strange power is in her right foot..."
