Chapter 23: Saber-Armed Beast
A green shadow materialized from behind numerous trees as it ran to the frontmost of the crowd at lightning speed, making no sound of breaking through the air in the process. Most people reacted promptly to Xiao Yu’s warning, but the rest were stunned for a few seconds and did not fall down in time.
Everyone felt a strong gust of wind before a student’s head, who was a bit late to respond, got slowly detached from his body like a dead leaf falling from a tree. When the head hit the ground, his eyes remained wide open, as though he couldn’t believe this was happening until he took his last breaths.
Everyone there felt chills at that sight; the person who was healthy and full of energy only moments ago was beheaded in an instant. They didn’t even get to see the attacker’s appearance clearly.
At this time, there was a brisk sound of “bang!”, and with that momentum, the monster carried on its charge before it hit the trunk of a large tree not far away. From the direction of the sound, a weird-looking creature was facing the big tree. It had a strange appearance; its body was green all over and similar to a monkey, only lacking a tail; its knee bone was sickle-shaped, similar to that of a praying mantis, and colored in dark green. It also had a bird’s beak and greenish-gray bat-like wings.
Its body size was about the same as that of an eleven or twelve-year-old child, with a pair of sickle-like arm blades that were somewhat disproportionately long, though the edges looked quite sharp. At this moment, the monster lying on the big tree was surrounded by several people, while its pair of sharp arm blades were inserted into the tree trunk, and so its back was facing everyone there, but then its head turned 180 degrees, peering at them before it let out a peculiar screech.
Xiao Yu’s face changed, “Shit! This is the saber-armed beast; it’s very fast. Everyone be careful…”
Before he could finish his words, the saber-armed beast jumped down from the big tree with its wings folded, flying away like a bullet.
Wang Chao reacted first as he let out a beast-like roar. His eye sockets became scarlet, and his skin turned red instantly. A steam of rage burst out, and he swung his giant wheel-like axe with both hands and slammed it hard at the saber-armed beast.
Hoo hoo!
