On the third day, Chen Shouyi finally understood what the soldiers referred to as the final disposal.

After a massive demolition of nearby buildings, dozens of tons of napalm bombs were launched at the area where the Haunted House was located.

Despite the influence of the otherworldly forces, causing electronic activities to become sluggish and chemical reactions to slow down, human weapons still wielded considerable power to this day.

The fire burned all night, gradually subsiding only by dawn, turning the entire half-kilometer radius into scorched earth.

When Chen Shouyi came back to this now ruins-scattered area, the eerie cold aura had completely dissipated.

This powerful Natural Spirit had turned to dust and ashes.

...

"Senior, I'm going to intrude on your home again today." Song Tingting sweetly greeted upon returning home.

"Oh, it's winter break, right? Welcome, welcome!" Chen Shouyi smiled and said, as the security on the street was decent, the nearby high schools continued their regular classes.

"Yes, the break started just yesterday."

The two chatted for a few more words before Chen Shouyi returned to his room.

Soon after he sat down, a knock was heard on the door. Opening it, he saw Song Tingting, and Chen Shouyi couldn't help but ask in wonder, "What's the matter?"

"Senior, can I come in?" Song Tingting asked, holding back her shyness.

Thinking about the Shell Lady still sound asleep in the briefcase, Chen Shouyi quickly said, "There's nothing much to see, come on in!"

Song Tingting entered the bedroom and gently closed the door.

Chen Shouyi's expression momentarily froze.

"Wow, what a huge bow! Is this the kind martial artists use?" Song Tingting exclaimed in surprise, looking at the giant war bow mounted on the wall with its string removed.

Chen Shouyi instantly came back to his senses and said, "Yes!"

Actually, it's a bow for great martial artists.

Song Tingting observed for a while, then sat gently on the edge of the bed, looking pitiful, "Senior, you haven't taught me sword practice for a long time."

"What, Xing Yue didn't teach you?" Chen Shouyi asked.

"She did, but I still think your teaching works best. Can you guide me again?"

Saying this, Song Tingting stood up, took off her heavy coat, instantly revealing her shapely figure underneath. She practiced the lunging thrust with her bare hands and said, "Look and see if I'm doing anything wrong."

Glancing at her, Chen Shouyi noticed that compared to when she first started learning, her moves had improved a lot. Except for her lack of explosiveness, her skills were quite decent, clearly indicating she had been practicing diligently during this time.

"You've made great progress recently!" Chen Shouyi praised her.

"But I feel my force isn't smooth enough, Senior, please help me take a look."

"Alright!" With nothing else to do, Chen Shouyi sat on the bed, watching Song Tingting practice repeatedly and occasionally correcting her movements.

As he watched, Chen Shouyi's eyes couldn't help but wander to her lively bouncing chest.

Developed really well!

At this moment, he suddenly heard a burst of gunfire, startling Chen Shouyi to his feet. He quickly walked to the window and drew the curtains aside.

Taking just one look, the unease in his heart was swept away.

A monster resembling a car-sized spider was racing swiftly down the opposite street. A group of soldiers fired at it continuously from behind cover at a crossroads building, but not only were few bullets hitting the target, but the power of the rifles had also significantly decreased after the mutation, failing to penetrate its defenses as bullets bounced off its tough outer shell.

Seemingly angered, it suddenly leaped forward, jumping to the crossroads. Its speed was so fast that before the soldiers could react, it was already moving towards them with its scythe-like six legs.

What ensued was a total massacre.

Its sharp front legs became its most deadly weapon, with only a light jab pinning a soldier's body to the ground, leaving them helplessly struggling.

The last soldier, retreating while firing desperately at it, was left with bullets dancing off its hard shell, sending sparks flying.

As if sensing pain, the monster let out a hoarse screech, pouncing on the soldier, savagely biting off the soldier's head alive. With its mouthparts continuously wriggling, brain matter oozed out.

Chen Shouyi's face darkened as he quickly grabbed the sword from the desk, opened the window, and turned back, saying, "Inform my mom and sister not to go outside."

Despite feeling frightened, Song Tingting nodded frantically.

"Help me close the window."

Before Song Tingting could understand the meaning behind it, Chen Shouyi had already leaped down.

This was the fifth floor!

Song Tingting nearly fainted from shock, her face turning pale as she rushed to the window, quickly looking down.

She saw Chen Shouyi rolling to offset the force before standing firmly on the ground, covering her heart as she sighed in relief.

Five floors were roughly fifteen to sixteen meters high.

For someone like Chen Shouyi, possessing a physique approximately six times that of an ordinary person, jumping from fifteen to sixteen meters was like an ordinary person jumping from two meters, a piece of cake.

Once he steadied himself, he started sprinting at full speed.

As he ran, his heart grew increasingly heavy.

He noticed that the surrounding gunfire hadn't stopped, indicating there were more monsters this time.

Chen Shouyi didn't go through the residential area's main gate, instead lightly jumping over the wall, choosing the nearest route.

On the street, his eyes quickly darted around, and indeed, he found another one in the distance.

Damn it!

How could so many giant insects from the other world appear all of a sudden?

He guessed they weren't coming through the already army-guarded passages but from a nearby undiscovered one, as otherwise, there would have been signs beforehand, even in a rush.

But there was no use wasting time thinking about it now. Killing one of them first took priority.

He charged towards the nearby crossroads.

The monster hadn't left, contentedly chirping while feasting on the "delicacy" at its feet, digging into its feast with two sharp front legs, shoving the corpse into its fearsome mouthparts, gnawing away as if no one else was around.

Its hearing was quite sharp, sensing the disturbance nearby, its actions halted, and it whirled around abruptly, its headless corpse tossed to the ground. Seeing the rapidly approaching Chen Shouyi, its mouthparts trembled frenziedly, letting out a hoarse, unpleasant screech, while its two front legs, longer than the other six, slightly waved in the air.

Chen Shouyi's sprint speed rapidly slowed into a jog, then a walk.

He approached step by step, slowly drawing his sword.

Only up close did he feel the monster's immense and grotesque presence. Standing about 2.5 meters tall with a body the size of a round table, its eight dark legs, as thick as calves, were covered in dense orange-yellow spikes. Its complex gigantic mouthparts wriggled continuously like a meat grinder.

The distance between the two closed quickly.

Fifteen, ten meters.

Finally, the monster could no longer hold back, raising its sharp spear-like front legs, the remaining six racing forward at Chen Shouyi.

Its speed was extremely astonishing, its massive body akin to a car charging at high speed.

But that wasn't nearly enough.

Just before contact, a cruel smile tugged at Chen Shouyi's lips. Dodging its charge with nimble movement, he stepped forward instead of retreating, his sword flashing and one of its legs was neatly severed.

The sword was indeed remarkably sharp, so much so that Chen Shouyi felt almost no resistance slicing through the leg.

The two swiftly passed each other.

With inertia, the monster ran another four to five meters before turning around.

No sooner than it turned, its cold compound eyes reflected a rapidly approaching figure. In the next moment, one of its swinging front legs was cut off, dark green blood flowing out.

It screeched loudly through its pain, thrusting its remaining front leg toward him.

Chen Shouyi sidestepped lightly to avoid it, simultaneously slicing away the other front leg with his sword.

At this point, it finally felt fear, hastily retreating.

Its front legs were its weapons; losing them reduced its combat power by more than half.

But at this moment, Chen Shouyi couldn't let it escape.

With a cold harrumph, he suddenly dashed forward, leather boots exploding, his body leaping nearly ten meters as easily as if it were only a step away, bringing his sword down like lightning upon the quickly retreating monster's head.
