This monster had a humanoid body, but its limbs were long and slender, resembling a gibbon.
However, there was no hair on this monster's body; its skin was smooth and dark like a rhinoceros, and it also had nails like steel daggers, and a mouth full of savage fangs.
When Frank saw the monster's scarlet eyes, a vicious and agile cold light had already appeared about a foot in front of his neck.
Even with Frank's danger intuition and agile movements, he could only barely dodge, rolling to the side in a rather disheveled manner.
Bang!
Fortunately, even when facing the monster, Frank's combat instincts remained.
Even while rolling, Frank retaliated fiercely, firing a shot at the monster from close range.
The Remington M870 shotgun possessed extremely fierce power; even an elephant hit at close range would be severely injured on the spot.
The immense impact and fierce lethality sent the monster flying three meters away.
However, what greatly shocked Frank was that even after being hit at close range, with its chest shattered, the monster still possessed extremely strong mobility.
In fact, it seemed as if it hadn't sustained any damage, flipping up and pouncing again.
"Damn monster bastard!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Frank was not one to hesitate; seeing that the monster was not dead, he immediately unleashed a barrage of fire.
It proved that in front of a shotgun, all beings were indeed equal, and even monsters were no exception.
After more than ten seconds, the lights in the Underground Room flickered, and a large area of furniture was in tatters.
Frank, holding the large shotgun, looked fiercely towards a room deep within the secret chamber.
On that room's door, there was a special glass window, behind which reflected an ugly, ferocious face—it was Howard Cent of the Cent Family.
"Fuck, who exactly are you?"
Howard's solemn, roaring growl came from the loudspeaker outside the door.
Frank, with a poker face, showed no intention of answering, raising his hand and firing a shot at the window.
Unfortunately, both the room door and window were custom-made and bulletproof.
But even so, Howard was greatly angered.
"Damn bastard, if you leave now, I can still pretend nothing happened… Fuck, what do you want to do? Don't force me, fuck, sizzle!"
Accompanied by a burst of fire, the loudspeaker outside the room was directly blown apart.
No matter how silently Howard roared from behind the door, Frank paid him no mind, pulling out an electronic demolition bomb from behind him, preparing to stick it directly onto the door.
This was clearly an intention to wipe them out completely, leaving no future troubles.
Seeing Frank's ruthless and cold-blooded style of action, Howard's face behind the door darkened, and he no longer roared, an expression of gloomy depression spreading over him, before he fiercely pressed a button inside the door.
After doing all this, Howard remained silent, merely staring coldly at Frank through the window.
As Frank approached the door to place the electronic demolition bomb, Howard, quite abruptly, began writing words on the glass window.
"Everyone must die!"
Howard's calmness and gloom inside the room gave Frank an uneasy feeling.
However, after glancing at the other party, Frank, still incredibly resolute, activated the bomb.
Immediately, Frank turned and left without even looking back.
As a top soldier who had participated in countless assault operations, Frank knew very well that after the electronic bomb detonated, Howard in the room would definitely not survive.
Boom!
One minute later, Frank arrived in the Villa's courtyard, and a tremor and roar came from beneath the Villa.
However, just as Frank was preparing to leave, a chilling sensation made him stiffen for a moment.
By the time Frank reacted, he found that tunnels had opened in the four corners of the courtyard.
An unsettling aura continuously emanated from those tunnels.
Immediately after, accompanied by a noise like glass rubbing, dozens of monsters, on all fours, rushed out of the tunnels.
These monsters were extremely fast, far exceeding ordinary people, comparable to tigers and leopards.
Moreover, with this number of monsters, even if Frank had ten hands, he simply couldn't fight them all.
"Fuck!"
Frank cursed under his breath, instinctively pulling the trigger, but only an empty click sounded.
Running away was definitely not an option; monsters were also intercepting on both sides of the Villa's main gate.
Frank's scalp tingled, but he was still incredibly brave, drawing his dagger directly and adopting a defensive counterattack stance.
These monsters, whether in strength, speed, or vitality, far surpassed ordinary people.
Frank didn't know if he could escape, but as a top-tier human weapon, he wasn't prepared to give up.
And just as Frank was preparing to fight for his life, he felt a stinging, burning sensation at his neck, only to see a white bone bead detach, roll in the air, emit billowing black smoke, and transform into a Withered Bone Demon.
Was this the bead that Boss gave him before?
What the hell was this again?
As Frank was in a daze, the Withered Bone Demon's teeth clacked, as if mocking those black-skinned, sharp-clawed monsters.
However, what shocked Frank was that after the Withered Bone Demon appeared, those monsters, like weak creatures encountering their natural predator in the animal kingdom, collapsed on the ground, trembling.
Immediately after, the Withered Bone Demon flew up, and billowing black smoke enveloped the monsters.
Crunching and chewing sounds came from the black mist.
Even a tough guy like Frank couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.
For no reason, Frank remembered the words of Owen, the small-time boss in the bar.
"Boss is a very mysterious person, possessing extraordinary power."
Frank looked gravely at the Withered Bone Demon, occasionally flashing in the billowing black mist, his heart growing heavier, wondering what he was thinking.
This thing must be the so-called 'extraordinary power' that Owen mentioned, right?
Extraordinary, indeed, but it always felt a bit evil.
His Boss, who looked gentle, handsome, tall, sunny, friendly, and dignified, couldn't possibly be some legendary necromancer, could he?
This Saturday, should he go to church for a mass?
Holy Light, no, God would definitely protect him, right?
Chapter 11: Temporary Dao Field, Ghoul
The operation to destroy the Cent Family went beyond Frank's plan, but not entirely.
The entire operation was still completed within an hour.
But the black-skinned, sharp-clawed monsters, and the bead in his hand that could transform into a Withered Bone Demon, kept stirring waves in Frank's heart.
Fortunately, an hour later, Frank, led by the small-time boss Owen, arrived from the Underground Parking Lot of Presbyterian Hospital into a hidden underground palace complex, where he met Reyn.
This was a Cultivation ground Reyn had expanded from the original underground palace after taking over Presbyterian Hospital.
The place for nurturing Magical Artifacts and cultivating Bone Demons had too much Evil Qi and was not suitable for Cultivation.
So, after cordoning off a Forbidden Land, Reyn also created a dedicated Cultivation ground, with a better environment and more suitable for living and Cultivating.
This was an environment similar to a Dao field, more like the base of a pagoda.
The entire Dao field also resembled a Bagua, connected to the Forbidden Land behind it, like the front half of a gourd.
And the moon gate connecting to the Forbidden Land behind it was in the shape of a Tai Chi circle.
On the moon gate, there were even densely packed jade stones embedded, each carved with Heavenly Talisman Cloud Seals, forming an array that absorbed the rolling star Spiritual Qi from the Forbidden Land into the Dao field.
At the same time, there was also a special Restriction on that moon gate.
Without Reyn's permission, even the Hulk might not be able to break into the Forbidden Land behind.
