Rustle rustle rustle——!
Under Bai Tang’s control, countless tentacles surged from all directions at tricky angles toward the Pig-Head Man’s position.
The imposing force was terrifying.
They instantly sealed off every escape route.
Like flexible pythons, they wrapped around the Pig-Head Man, who had no time to dodge, forming a dense, airtight giant black cocoon.
Uh ah!
Four limbs immobilized and vision plunged into complete darkness, the Pig-Head Man let out a low, hoarse roar.
There was no mistake.
He smelled a familiar scent.
It was the human girl who had left not long ago!
She actually dared to return and attack him on her own initiative.
The Pig-Head Man instantly felt looked down upon, and his expression turned furious.
Hiding in the shadows, Bai Tang only heard a roar from inside the black cocoon.
Right after, a layer of faint blood-colored mist gradually seeped from the cocoon’s surface.
It was just like in games when a monster enters a berserk state after being provoked by a taunt skill.
Boom——!
Under the tremendous energy impact, the black cocoon lasted less than half a minute before it could no longer maintain its original form.
Its surface cracked and shattered inch by inch.
The Pig-Head Man was now surrounded and wrapped in crimson mist.
Muscles all over his body rapidly bulged, skin stretched taut.
The protruding veins looked ready to burst at any second.
From his condition, it was obvious he had activated some kind of self-strengthening skill.
Even the blood-stained butcher knife in his hand seemed to have come alive.
Cracks crawled across the blade, and beneath them was fresh red, pulsating tender flesh.
The Pig-Head Man stretched out his large hand and grabbed the tentacle that had not been retracted in time.
He yanked hard.
After knocking over several rows of meat drying racks, he finally dragged Bai Tang out from the shadows along with the tentacles.
Bai Tang timely severed the tentacles.
This prevented her from being pulled close by the Pig-Head Man.
Her gaze toward the Pig-Head Man gradually darkened.
The Pig-Head Man was not easy to deal with.
“How what to do? We seem unable to beat him!”
Both attacks had ended in failure.
This made the Parasitic Demon unable to help but worry.
“Shut up! Don’t disturb my thinking.”
Countless tentacles wildly and disorderly waved behind Bai Tang.
While scolding the Parasitic Demon, her eyes frantically scanned the surroundings.
She did not miss any detail that could become assistance for the next battle.
It was not that the Parasitic Demon was too weak.
As its only means of attack, it could not pose any real threat to the Pig-Head Man.
It was simply that the Pig-Head Man happened to be the berserker type.
His panel showed high attack and high defense, while his agility was not low either.
Now that blood rage was activated, the tentacles could not even get close to him.
The moment they approached the Pig-Head Man, they would be severed by the sharp butcher knife in his hand.
“Hehe, since you still dare to come back, you really are overestimating yourself!”
Seeing Bai Tang’s figure clearly, the Pig-Head Man snorted through his pig nose.
He grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, and laughed.
“Wasn’t it you who first deceived the consumer?”
Bai Tang’s face was cold as she shook the now-empty rusty iron hook in her hand.
The malevolent soul she had spent a full 1,800 Ghost Coins to buy had just left the slaughterhouse not long ago, only to be completely lost for free.
No one would be happy about this.
“Any goods, once they leave the slaughterhouse gates, are non-refundable and non-exchangeable,” the Pig-Head Man sneered.
“Blame yourself for being too naive.”
“I will take back what belongs to me myself,” Bai Tang said, her expression solemn.
“Hehe, originally, for the Witch Miss’s sake, I didn’t plan to make a move on you.
But now that you’ve barged in here yourself, tonight you can just obediently stay and become my extra meal!”
The powder keg had been completely ignited.
The battle was about to erupt.
The Parasitic Demon had completely given up control over its own tentacles, handing everything over to Bai Tang.
If it tried to fight for control at this critical moment, it would truly be fatal.
The continuously regenerating and proliferating tentacles sometimes dispersed to block space, and sometimes converged to launch fatal strikes against the Pig-Head Man.
The distance between both sides was also being gradually forced closer.
However, once they fell into close combat, Bai Tang’s shortcomings in physique and strength immediately became apparent.
Relying only on a rusty iron hook to contend with the sharp butcher knife in the Pig-Head Man’s hand, the girl was beaten back step by step.
Every collision of weapons sent shock through her arms gripping the iron hook, making them go numb.
Even though her spiritually enhanced dynamic vision could capture the Pig-Head Man’s next move in advance, dodging remained difficult.
All attacks she could not avoid were resisted by the tentacles acting as meat shields.
Bai Tang could even vaguely hear the Parasitic Demon’s muffled groans as it endured the pain.
This won’t work. I can’t win!
“Roar oh——!”
Bai Tang controlled the tentacles to roll up a heavy metal meat drying rack and smash it toward the Pig-Head Man.
Taking advantage of the opening while he blocked, her figure quickly retreated to open distance, giving her a brief moment to breathe.
Continuing this way would lead to defeat!
Bai Tang’s original guess had been that the Pig-Head Man’s blood rage-like skill would have a duration.
Her plan had mainly relied on a delaying tactic, waiting for the opponent to enter the skill’s weakened period before going all out.
But now it seemed the Pig-Head Man was not using a skill at all.
He was in some kind of state.
It was like a degeneration from Pig-Head Man to a frenzied humanoid pig.
From being barely able to communicate, he was trending more toward beast-like madness.
At first he had still tried to dodge Bai Tang’s attacks.
Later he gradually switched to using his body to hard resist.
While the Pig-Head Man’s strength and recovery ability grew stronger, his reason and clear thinking were also gradually disappearing.
She had to change her offensive strategy!
Bai Tang’s gaze swept across the entire slaughterhouse.
She soon thought of a countermeasure.
“You want to eat me, don’t you?” Bai Tang raised her middle finger.
“Come chase me then. If you catch up, my life is yours!”
Uh ah——!
Although it was an obvious trap, under the influence of the blood rage state the Pig-Head Man—who now only possessed primitive killing desire—could not care less.
His face, soaked in blood, was ferocious.
Holding the butcher knife, he chased relentlessly from behind.
“I think we should run now…”
“No, you don’t!” Bai Tang sternly interrupted the Parasitic Demon’s proposal.
If she, Bai Tang, had truly only wanted to survive, she could have escaped from the very beginning.
Surviving was not difficult.
But what about the mission?
What about the Demon Hunter Miss’s test?
She had a premonition.
Whatever secret Theresa wanted to tell her about Bai Tang must be something she would care about.
Moreover, in this hell world there were bizarre creatures stronger than the Witch teacher everywhere.
She could not always cower in the small Undead Street, hiding under the Witch teacher’s protection.
Once she stopped progressing in strength, death would not be far away.
“But we can’t beat him. Do you have a way?”
“Not sure, but it should be close to what I guessed.”
As her footsteps drew closer, the only building in the slaughterhouse gradually enlarged in her vision.
“Since he chooses to slaughter during White Day, then inside the slaughterhouse there should be ‘pigs’ kept in pens!”
The corner of the girl’s mouth curled up slightly.
“A butcher falling into the pigsty… What will happen? It’s really hard to guess~”
