Lord of Enigma

Chapter 24: Human Skin Paste

Bang!

Bang, bang!

One after another, without stopping.

Tang Qi was badly hurt. Although intense pain traveled all over his body, his palms held the gun steadily as he channeled all his strength into it. One after another, with a sense of rhythm.

The first bullet resulted in the explosion of the regenerated half of the sea monster's head.

The second bullet caused the other half to explode as well.

The third, fourth, and fifth bullets shattered its limbs and torso.

The sixth bullet was aimed at its big and fleshy fishtail.

When the last bullet turned into golden flames and shattered the tail into pieces of meat that floated around them, Tang Qi's eyes saw a strange gray misty humanoid figure dash out from the smashed corpse fragments that were lying on the ground.

This shadow was almost exactly the same as the Dugong sea monster. The only difference was that its face was a blend of human and sea monster, continuously tearing and fusing. It wailed as it fled toward some houses.

Until a palm with a dazzling golden light suddenly reached out and grabbed its tail.

Boom!

The Dugong sea monster had a taste of the tragedy that the Visage Canine of Bronx had suffered.

It was still able to scream when it was hit by a furnace bullet.

But after the golden flames ignited in the palm of Tang Qi, it could only struggle before turning into flying ashes.

At this moment, despite preparation, Tang Qi was taken aback by the activity in his head.

He felt a "bang" as his head started trembling.

After swallowing the soul of the Visage Canine earlier, what he experienced was like a little stream.

But at this moment, it felt more like a tidal wave that was composed entirely of golden spots of light, pouring from his palms into that gray foggy space in his mind.

Over there, Tang Qi watched as the small area of the golden lights expanded and doubled in size.

What followed was a surge of scorching-hot aura that circled his limbs and body.

Tang Qi felt like he was in a furnace. Every breath he took, he seemed to be spewing out flames.

Parts of his body that had been severely injured by the Dugong sea monster healed quickly after that scorching breath had passed through them. Even the old injuries on his arm healed rapidly. Before he could feel the itchiness of growing flesh, it was overwhelmed by burning sensations.

Stream after stream of burning steam gushed out from Tang Qi's body.

All the disgusting mucus and pus in the room evaporated. However, the smell was pretty bad, and Stana almost fainted.

At the moment, Tang Qi did not care about all this.

The mingling of pain and comfort almost caused him to let out a groan.

He suppressed these feelings and looked at himself.

The special interface jumped out, and Tang Qi saw that the skill column had changed, just as he expected.

Moreover, there was not just one change.

As Tang Qi observed, the progress of the Furnace Meditation Method had increased from 0.01% to 0.2% as a coil of golden light flashed past.

The twenty-fold increase made Tang Qi almost jump in joy.

What made him even more pleasantly surprised was the Furnace's Eyes status underneath. The word "Elementary" finally appeared, and its progress jumped directly to 0.1%.

The third skill, Chaga Fighting Technique, also progressed rapidly, and finally reached 0.15%.

When everything was settled, Tang Qi not only recovered from his injuries but also had a huge increase in all of his three skills.

The rapid progress was not just for show. Tang Qi could feel that he had indeed become stronger.

If he was to fight with the Dugong sea monster again, he would not be in such a terrible fix anymore.

This time around, Tang Qi was very fortunate to be able to kill that Dugong sea monster.

While they were both existences of the supernatural realm, there was a huge difference in power level.

Tang Qi might possess the Chaga Fighting Technique, the Golden Furnace Meditation Method, and a supernatural firearm, but he was nevertheless human. His physical attributes might be better than his peers, but they were still unable to match up to professional fighters.

Moreover, the Dugong sea monster possessed inhuman strength and speed, and the skill[Sea Monster's Howl].

When it had entered into the final integration stage, it seemed ready to transform into some kind of ancient supernatural creature. Had it succeeded, the outcome would have been unimaginable.

Tang Qi was able to kill it through strategy. He did not reveal Blood Python No.1 at the start and used himself as bait by battling it with fighting techniques. He paid the price of suffering severe injuries but attracted its attention, giving Stana an opportunity to take a shot.

Although it was not fired from Blood Python No.1, the furnace bullet was supernatural after all, and it shattered half of its head.

While it still was able to evolve, they bought themselves a precious moment.

Furnace's Eyes!

Stunning effect!

In other situations, one could not do anything in one second.

However, during battle, a second was sufficient to determine life and death.

The sea monster gave Tang Qi the opportunity to pull out Blood Python No.1 and had exposed its head unreservedly, almost as if it was handing its life over to Tang Qi.

The power of each successive furnace bullet fired by Blood Python No.1 was many times more powerful than the one before.

Even though the sea monster had evolved significantly, it was of no use.

"Cough~cough cough"

"Let me help you!"

Tang Qi was just done with feeling the changes in his body, and that scorching aura had also dissipated at this moment. A tall figure ran over, and without saying anything, half carried half lifted Tang Qi up. From what Sergeant Stana could see, Tang Qi's injuries were clearly severe.

Although he was carried by Stana, he enjoyed the gentle feeling and her light fragrance of perfume.

Nevertheless, Tang Qi struggled to break free, wanting to show that he was fine. He then went straight to the area where the sea monster had died. The ground was covered with pieces of its flesh.

Battle loot!

Tang Qi was anxious because he saw plenty of loot.

There were a total of three items among the disgusting pieces of flesh on the ground, giving off a faint light that only Tang Qi can see.

"Mysterious objects. Moreover, there are three of them."

Tang Qi could almost feel his heart starting to beat violently.

He did not care about those disgusting pieces of flesh and directly picked up those items one by one.

The first item was a box in the shape of a shell.

After opening it, they saw that the box was full of an unknown pale yellow ointment, giving off a strong intense fragrance.

"What is this?" Stana asked curiously beside him.

Her beautiful eyes looked at the box of ointment in Tang Qi's hand. Her nose shook slightly as a desire rose from within her heart.

She got a feeling that this paste was a useful thing.

Tang Qi had a keen perception of emotions; hence, he could clearly feel Stana's emotions at this moment.

After glancing at the special interface that popped out for the ointment, the corners of Tang Qi's mouth curled.

He handed the ointment over to Stana and said casually, "This is a supernatural item, and its use is to keep women's skin in its best condition for thirty years."

"Really?"

Upon hearing Tang Qi's words, Stana's eyes immediately brightened up.

Women probably could not resist that sentence.

Stana's movements almost instinctively sped up. She took the ointment and began to think in her mind if she wanted to retain this wonderful item for her personal benefit.

Tang Qi's next sentence traveled over faintly.

"Its name is human skin paste."

"Ah~"

As soon as Tang Qi's voice fell, after thinking for a second to process those three words, Stana immediately tossed the ointment out of her hands.

Luckily, Tang Qi's reaction was quick. If not, the one enjoying this "supernatural beauty product" would be the floor of his house.
