It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

If you fail again, walk 200 meters forward and try again.

After three failures, he returned home

Liu Zheng shook the broken bones and walked forward with his head down.

Even though the sewer looked peaceful, he did not let his guard down.

You can't attack delivery men at will. That's the rule on the ground, and it's hard to say whether it applies in the sewers.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Liu Zheng counted his steps and stopped at the 100th step.

Just as he was about to squat down, he suddenly felt a chill on his head.

He stretched out his tentacle and touched it. It was sticky and a little warm.

Liu Zheng's heart suddenly became alarmed, but his body was faster than his brain and he rolled over on the ground.

A breeze blew past his scalp, and in an instant, Liu Zheng only saw a red shadow.

After rolling three or four meters, he immediately got up and looked up.

A blood-red monster was lying on the ceiling, staring at Liu Zheng.

How to describe this monster?

It has no skin on its body, and its abnormally developed muscles and capillaries are exposed, just like a skinned bullfrog.

Also exposed is its brain, with the extremely swollen brain tissue split into two sides, looking like the compound eyes of a fly.

The monster's eyes were pure black, without any whites or eyelids.

Its nails are also extremely long and thick, like the claws of a bird of prey.

Just by its appearance, this monster gave Liu Zheng a great sense of oppression.

This feeling of oppression was not the unknown weirdness brought to him by cattle, horses, plane trees, and Oink.

Rather, it is the naked, instinctive fear of the prey towards the high-ranking predator.

"Maybe we can talk."

Liu Zheng pulled out the boning knife and tried to communicate.

"I'm the delivery man from the Bloody Restaurant. If you want food, I can deliver it to you. I can deliver more and better food to you."

Hearing his words, the skinned monster did not react at all, but just followed his movements with his eyes.

"I also have attractants here. As long as you have this, you can catch a lot of big fish, such as giant whales. I can supply this for a long time. It's much more cost-effective than eating me."

Liu Zheng took out the bottle of attractant and shook it.

Hearing this, the skinned monster's eyes rolled.

It slowly lowered its body, as if it was about to fall to the ground.

"There's a show!"

Liu Zheng was secretly happy.

If even a tree can talk, there's no reason why a skinning monster can't communicate.

As long as there is communication, there is a price.

As long as there is a price, it can be bought.

Just as he was thinking about what price he could offer, the skinning monster came down.

However, what fell was not its body but its tongue.

A faint red shadow flashed in the air, and Liu Zheng only had time to turn his head before being pierced by the tongue.

Blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

The thin, barbed tongue passed through his left jaw and out through his right jaw.

Just a little bit more and it would have been Liu Zheng's brain that was pierced.

"If you don't eat the toast, you'll be punished by drinking it, right?"

After a close call with death, his "irritability disorder" immediately flared up.

He roared, and the boning knife drew a bright light and chopped towards the long tongue.

The skinning monster looked playful.

Its tongue is harder than the teeth of the fish in the river, and this broken knife can't even break its skin.

Then, its tongue broke off.

A puff of black blood spurted out, and the broken tongue rebounded because the muscles were too strong and hit the skinning monster's own face.

The severed tongue on Liu Zheng's face was still twisting violently as if it had life.

He circled the severed tongue and pulled it out bit by bit.

"Your ingredients are of a pretty high quality."

There was something fishy about Liu Zheng's words.

He was able to cut off the tongue with one blow just now, mainly because of the true damage of the legendary vest, and partly because of the damage bonus of the boning knife.

I don’t know if White Feather Chicken will accept skinned monsters, this should be considered a specialty of the sewer.

Thinking of this, the look in his eyes when he looked at the skinning monster was filled with not only fear but also a bit of passion.

The lion that was bitten on the buttocks by the hyena is still strong, but no longer invincible.

Facing Liu Zheng's fiery gaze, the skinning monster's eyeballs trembled slightly.

It moved quickly and silently across the ceiling, circling around Liu Zheng like a big spider.

Obviously, it is looking for an opportunity to strike again.

Liu Zheng’s response was also very simple. He put the legendary takeaway box on his head.

Just protect your head and the skinning monsters can attack you anywhere else.

It's better to shoot him directly in the heart, where there are many bones.

If it gets stuck, its tongue will be shorter.

Although there is a risk of damage to the legendary takeout box, there is no time to worry about that when the crisis comes.

The skinning monster obviously saw through Liu Zheng's plan and wandered around for a long time without making a move.

"Do you want to fight or not? I still have to rush to deliver the takeaway."

Liu Zheng became impatient.

"If you don't want to fight, come down and we'll talk. The conditions I offered before still count."

He said.

If he could get help from the sewer natives like the Flayed Monster, his exploration would definitely be much smoother.

With his help, the Skinner can also obtain resources that are not in the sewer.

This wave is a win-win-win situation, with Liu Zheng winning twice.

Unfortunately, the skinner is not as good at weighing the pros and cons as he is.

Or, it has no real thinking.

The skinning monster suddenly accelerated, and the entire ceiling was covered with blood-red figures.

Just as Liu Zheng blinked, it suddenly pounced down.

Since the tongue is not useful, the skinning monster chooses close combat.

The sharp claws like an eagle's tore through the wind and grabbed Liu Zheng's waist.

The muscles that were already strong to the point of being deformed expanded again, and the skinned monster's arms became thicker than its head.

"Damn, a second-order gene lock, right?"

Although the skinning monster was not attacking his head, Liu Zheng felt that he still could not withstand it.

Because he suspected that the skinning monster could cut him in half with this blow.

Although flesh and blood can be regenerated, facing a highly mobile predator like the Flayer, having your ability to move restricted basically means death.

In a split second, Liu Zheng made up his mind.

He jumped into the sewage river.

Chapter 69 Rat Pack

"Heart of the Ocean (enhanced) has taken effect."

As the system prompt sounded, sewage flooded Liu Zheng's mouth and nose.

Despite the effect of the Heart of the Ocean, he still felt suffocated.

I was suffocated by the stench.

It turns out that what you smell on the shore is just a little top note. Only when you stir up the stagnant water can you enjoy the real base fragrance.

He felt like he needed to have his limbs amputated from the forehead down.

Surprisingly, when Liu Zheng actually jumped into the water, the corrosive alternation of hot and cold did not reappear.

Apart from being a little smelly, it is no different from ordinary sewage.

It doesn't even have that sticky or greasy feeling, it's even quite refreshing.

This made Liu Zheng feel a lot more at ease.

Although he will not die due to the effect of the Heart of the Ocean, the excessive consumption of blood and flesh will also affect his combat effectiveness.

"You, come here!"

He hooked his finger at the skinning monster with an extremely arrogant attitude.

The flayer stared at him coldly and licked his paw.

There was not only blood on the claws, but also a lot of minced meat.

"what?"

Only then did Liu Zheng realize that he was injured.

He touched his waist and found a fist-sized piece dug out on the right side.

But it’s not a big problem. With the 100% recovery speed bonus, the wound is healing at an astonishing speed.

Liu Zheng waited for a few seconds, and seeing that the skinning monster had no intention of coming over, he simply took the initiative to attack.

The tentacles wrapped around the boning knife and swung it out like a dart.

With his current strength, the momentum of this attack was equally astonishing.

However, in the eyes of the skinning monster with excellent dynamic vision, Liu Zheng's attack was not fast.

It even has time to think whether to dodge or fight back.

Finally, it made a decision.

The skinning monster swung its claws again, but this time the degree of expansion was much smaller.

But according to its calculations, such force is enough to tear apart the prey in front of it.

But it doesn't know that there are such things as props in this world.

The sharp claws accurately hit the middle part of Liu Zheng's tentacle, but only tore half of it before being blocked by the bones inside.

"Heart of the Ocean" effect 50: Reduce damage taken in water by %.

"I didn't expect that."

He grinned and waved his tentacles again.

The intense exercise caused the wound to expand again, and a large amount of blood spurted out.

But Liu Zhengquan didn't care.
