Seeing ng Hao turn and run, Zhou Bai imdiately got angry, "Is this person an idiot? Why run?"
Christina said, "When you’re at ho, you’re not allowed to climb the walls."
On the other side, ng Hao had only run a few steps when he saw the monster with arms over two ters long appear in front of him. Its arms, like two steel whips, lashed toward him, reaching his face in the blink of an eye.
The horrifying air pressure from the attack seed to explode the air itself, and ng Hao felt his defensive Primordial Spirit power as if being torn apart instantaneously.
Just as ng Hao thought he was about to be killed and was preparing to use Heavenly Dragon Collapse, he saw a flash of light, and a pink Sword Qi collided with the monster’s arm, slightly hindering the long-ard creature’s assault.
Then, Zhou Bai had already scuttled to ng Hao’s side, crashing fiercely into the creature’s arm.
With a loud bang, the monster howled in pain. Seeing Zhou Bai sprawled on the ground with a twisted head, it cried out in shock, looking uncertainly at Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai turned his head towards ng Hao, "Why are you here? Are you alright?"
ng Hao looked at Zhou Bai in front of him and finally realized that it was Zhou Bai who had co to his aid. He imdiately nodded and said, "I’m fine. What... what kind of monster is this?"
"How would I know?" Zhou Bai said, looking at the monster in front of him. He aid the light from a gemstone at it, and the light revealed the creature’s appearance, shocking both Zhou Bai and Christina.
Christina exclaid, ’Dr. Zhuang?!’
The monster standing before them, naked, with abnormally long and thin arms but a face that aside from being overly gaunt and vicious looked 90 percent similar to Dr. Zhuang’s.
However, Zhou Bai didn’t show any reaction, but calmly stared at the long-ard monster, saying to ng Hao, "I’ll try to capture him. Cover from the side."
The next mont, the long-ard creature, sowhat intolerant to the light, roared and once again lashed its arms at Zhou Bai.
The two tangled in battle instantly. The long-ard monster’s strength was enormous, almost equivalent to a Primordial Spirit power of around 1500, and as it struck, it occasionally used one or two punching techniques, initially overpowering Zhou Bai.
Yet, Zhou Bai, who moved on all fours, had an even more astonishing defensive power. The long-ard monster’s attacks were virtually ineffective against him, and as the fight went on, it beca increasingly painful for the creature, who opened its mouth and began howling, glaring at Zhou Bai with a furious face.
Seeing that he had thoroughly drawn its hatred, Zhou Bai pressed close to the ground and let out a croak, readying himself to unleash the Ti Reverse power.
The long-ard monster, unaware of what was happening, continued to barrage Zhou Bai with punches, creating thunderous sounds as if a giant hamr were pounding on a city gate.
Just then, Jiang Ran, who had been standing guard outside, heard the noise and had already run inside. Seeing the scene in front of him, he exchanged a glance with ng Hao—their eyes seed to communicate sothing silently.
The next mont, Zhou Bai stopped gathering strength; worried that he might kill the long-ard creature in front of him, he suddenly exploded with power.
After charging for about five seconds, he suddenly unleashed his strength. Like a cannonball, Zhou Bai, bearing the brunt of the attack, slamd into the long-ard monster.
With Zhou Bai’s hands pressing down hard on the long-ard monster’s belly, the creature let out a miserable scream, spitting out mouthfuls of blood, lying listlessly on the ground, and looking completely helpless.
Zhou Bai, however, did not look at the monster but turned to ng Hao and Jiang Ran, who had unknowingly approached his side.
"Why are you two here?"
Watching the two hesitate, Zhou Bai’s eyes narrowed slightly. With less than a minute left, his mind switched gears, and he activated the gemstone.
```
In an instant, ti reversed, and everything returned to how it was ten minutes ago.
Zhou Bai arrived at the hospital entrance, and Christina’s voice ca to his mind, "What’s wrong, Zhou Bai? Why use the gemstone?"
Zhou Bai: "There’s sothing off with ng Hao and Jiang Ran. One person might be a coincidence, but two? Not possible. Given that we have the gemstone, we could afford to be a bit more cautious and careful. After all, Dr. Zhuang’s secret has been hidden for so many years; it’s unlikely to erupt in just a few weeks. Let’s first see what’s wrong with ng Hao and Jiang Ran."
So this ti, Zhou Bai did not choose to enter through the hospital entrance but continued to walk along the alleyway.
Shortly after he passed by the entrance of the hospital, ng Hao and Jiang Ran caught up, exchanged glances, and continued walking forward.
But, unbeknownst to them, on the eaves above, Christina was crawling there and, in the next mont, turned into a wisp of green smoke, quickly floating back into Zhou Bai’s mind.
Christina had intentionally been released by Zhou Bai when he was standing at the entrance of the hospital.
The mont she returned to his consciousness, she spoke to Zhou Bai, "Those two guys are probably following you."
"Stalking ?" Zhou Bai frowned, his mind filled with various speculations.
Of course, he did not choose to confront or fight them directly. Instead, he ran swiftly, then tried to hide, while leveraging Christina’s feline form and her ability to fly back to his consciousness, to continuously observe the two n and confirm their tracking skills.
Christina said, "That Jiang Ran has strong tracking skills, not missing a single clue, ordinary thods won’t shake him off."
"I rember Jiang Ran practices Gong Tu," Zhou Bai inwardly remarked. "This guy practices Gong Tu and even specializes in tracking skills?"
With that thought, Zhou Bai recalled the map of Donghua City in his mind.
Monts later, ng Hao and Jiang Ran arrived at a sewer entrance. ng Hao frowned slightly, "Did he enter the sewers?"
"Or left through the water," Jiang Ran sighed. "It’s hard to catch up."
ng Hao, stroking his chin, said, "Did he discover us?"
Jiang Ran: "He is just at the zero realm of Sword Qi. His abilities in scouting, tracking, and early warning, how could they surpass my Gong Tu? Unless he has a companion, it’s more likely he’s being cautious and opting for the sewers."
ng Hao: "So cautious, this guy must be hiding sothing. Forget it, let’s head back and report to the higher-ups today; they will definitely beco even more interested in this guy."
Just then, Jiang Ran’s eyebrows furrowed, and he looked toward a cat on a nearby utility pole.
He saw the cat, its fur matted and stained, so filthy that its original color was indiscernible.
’Does it resemble that wild cat I saw earlier on the road?’ he wondered.
Thinking it over, Jiang Ran, to be safe, shot a Qi arrow at the wild cat. Seeing the wild cat cry out and fall to the ground, as blood slowly seeped out, he nodded in satisfaction.
Then Jiang Ran turned to ng Hao and said, "This ti, could you let et with the higher-ups too? You see, I’ve been part of this for quite so ti..."
Looking at Jiang Ran with a seemingly amused expression, ng Hao said, "That has to be approved by the higher-ups. Forget about it today, don’t worry, I will convey your sincerity to them."
