Chapter 13: Violent Man-eating Clan

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The man-eating clan on Huang’e had always been a nightmare in people’s hearts. There was an unwritten rule on Huang’e that when people were doing important work, they were not allowed to mention the name of man-eating clan to avoid bringing bad luck.

In fact, it was not only during work. Even in daily life, people tried their best to avoid mentioning the words “man-eating clan.” It could be seen how afraid everyone was of this name.

What exactly were the man-eating clans? The old man, Lion, had once introduced them to Wu Chang. The man-eating clans were actually a kind of biochemically mutated people. They were humanoid in shape, but they had insect-like carapace. These biochemically mutated people had three rows of sharp teeth that looked like sawteeth in their mouths. Someone had tested that even if a hard volcanic rock was stuffed in, they could instantly grind the rock into pieces.

No one knew how the man-eating clan had come about. Lion had once speculated that these creatures were very likely humanoid weapons secretly developed by scientists in some big star ring. Later on, for some reason, they actually ran to Huang’e and reproduced, forming a large population in a few hundred years.

Now, the man-eating clan had already occupied more than 80% of the beaches on Huang’e. In the primordial era, the abundant fish in the sea were the most important food for the man-eating clan.

Today, Wu Chang, this guy who didn’t play by the rules, actually dared to use the man-eating clan to threaten Ado. This was intolerable. In order to protect his dignity, Ado went all out.

The bloody battle in the mine was getting more and more intense. Ado’s strategy of dividing his forces gave Wu Chang the best opportunity to launch a sneak attack. The four teams were made up of the most ordinary killers. Including Ado, there were only three advanced-stage martial artists. With such little strength, the others would simply be a group of trash if they encountered Wu Chang, who was proficient in melee combat.

Wu Chang’s sensitive hearing could always detect the sound of footsteps in the distance. The dark mine tunnel gave Wu Chang an excellent cover. In less than half an hour, another seven-man hitman team died under Wu Chang’s hands. The fierce resistance of the killers only managed to give Wu Chang a shallow scratch on the shoulder.

The smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger. The Nail Fist was too violent. Usually, a punch would cause the enemy’s internal organs to rupture on a large scale. Although there were only bruises on the skin, blood would spurt out from the mouth and nose. It was already difficult for the air to flow in the narrow mine tunnel. Coupled with the strong geothermal heat, the smell of blood could not dissipate for a long time.

Standing in front of the seven corpses, Wu Chang clasped his hands together as usual, and prepared to send the dead souls off with a Buddhist ceremony. However, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.

Before Wu Chang could react, two black shadows quickly rushed towards him at a 45-degree angle from both sides of the tunnel.

They were two people. They were climbing up the rock wall like geckos. Just like Wu Chang’s sneak attack just now, these two people also violated gravity. Their entire bodies were stuck to the ceiling of the mine tunnel, and they rushed towards Wu Chang like two sneak-attacking geckos.

At that moment, Wu Chang’s hair stood on ends. Cold sweat gushed out like spring water, and a huge sense of danger enveloped him.

Triple Nail Fist, sudden attack. When one black shadow brushed past him, Wu Chang’s Nail Fist hit the black shadow hard. In the end, the feeling he got was as if he had hit an alloy wall.

“What the hell is this? Armor?” Wu Chang rolled four to five meters forward, and nailed the two portable mine lamps into the rock wall.

When the light lit up, the two black shadows finally could be seen clearly.

‘F*ck, what poor luck. It really is the man-eating clan…’

Wu Chang regretted this. He really should not have used the gimmick of the man-eating clan to scare the enemy. Now, it didn’t come true for the enemy, but actually came true for him.

The bodies of the man-eating clan emitted a black reflective light. That was the luster of the carapace. Wu Chang’s fist had hit the sturdy carapace just now, so it did not have any effect.

Wu Chang did not have time to verify if the man-eating clan had three rows of sharp teeth in their mouths. Now, the two ambushers had rushed up again, and they were actually forming a coordinated joint attack formation.

Wu Chang’s martial arts were not for nothing. Although the man-eating clan had a carapace protecting their bodies, they did not have Wu Chang’s exquisite footwork. As they dodged and moved, the Nail Fist went straight for the weak points of the man-eating clan.

The joints of the carapace, the armpits, the back of the brain, and the ears. All the places that looked weak to Wu Chang were the places where his Nail Fist wreaked havoc.

Amidst the chaotic punches, the two members of the man-eating clan were beaten until they squeaked. In Wu Chang’s ears, this sound was somewhat similar to that of monkeys.

The man-eating clan still had intelligence. After being beaten up, they knew that this guy in front of them was not easy to deal with. The two man-eating clansmen stopped, and did not continue to attack after one attempt. Their eyes actually showed that they wanted to retreat.

Of course, Wu Chang could understand this gaze. He also hoped that these two fellows would retreat in the face of difficulties. No matter how stupid he was, he did not dare to make a mortal enemy of the man-eating clan. Once these strange creatures formed a group, no one could defeat them without an army.

Under Wu Chang’s sharp gaze, the two members of the man-eating clan retreated a little. They were actually retreating bit by bit. Just as Wu Chang heaved a sigh of relief, an evil aura suddenly came from behind him.

“Oh no—” Before Wu Chang could finish his sentence, a pair of huge arms had already pierced through Wu Chang’s armpits, and locked his arms tightly. Then, a bloody mouth bit Wu Chang’s shoulder fiercely, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

“Ah!” Wu Chang used all his strength to shake off the sneak attack of the man-eating clan member, but he had underestimated the strength of the sneak-attacker. This was a warrior from the man-eating clan. Just by looking at his height, he was more than a head taller than the two guys just now. His entire body was filled with bulging muscles, and the carapace covering his muscles was thicker. There were even barbs on it.

Such a man-eating clan warrior was no weaker than Saywen, a third-stage expert. He was even comparable to Ye Fei, a fourth-stage expert. He was already a warrior with similar strength to Wu Chang. Since their strength was equal, and the man-eating clan’s member had launched a sneak attack, it would not be easy for Wu Chang to escape.

The two of them locked together, forming a fused meatball. Under the struggle of both sides, the meatball kept colliding back and forth in the mine tunnel. One moment, Wu Chang’s face smashed into the wall, and the next moment, the back of the man-eating clansman hit the rock. The entire mine tunnel was in a mess.

The two man-eating clan’s soldiers who were watching the show jumped up excitedly and squeaked. From time to time, they would pick up a piece of meat from the ground and stuff it into their mouths. The meat came from the corpses of the seven killers who had just died.

Wu Chang had seen everything. He did not want to become food for the man-eating clan, but this attacker was too strong. He was already a little tired from fighting continuously. After struggling for 10 minutes, he still could not break free from this enemy.

What was even more terrifying was that this man-eating clan member’s mouth had already bitten Wu Chang’s shoulder. A large amount of blood splattered into this man-eating clan member’s mouth, becoming his most delicious drink.

As the blood flowed, the strength in Wu Chang’s body gradually weakened. His lips were already a little pale.

‘Am I going to die? Am I really going to die? It hasn’t even been a month since I transmigrated, and my life is about to end? Could this really be a dream?’

Wu Chang’s consciousness was a little dazed. From the corner of his eye, he looked at the two man-eating clan soldiers who were eating heartily. He watched as an entire arm was torn off a corpse by the two of them and chewed like a drumstick. At that moment, Wu Chang finally saw the sharp teeth in the upper and lower rows.

‘It’s really like a saw. Looks like my bones won’t be wasted. There’s no need to cook the bone soup. They’ll just chew it up…’

Just as his consciousness gradually faded, he did not know that other than the portion of blood on his shoulder that had been drunk by the warrior of the man-eating clan, a large portion had flowed into his collar and onto the strange black diamond necklace.

Fresh blood flowed down the silver chain and into the black diamond. As more and more blood flowed, the black diamond slowly softened, and turned back into an ever-changing black ball.

Perhaps because it was nourished by the blood, the black ball suddenly emitted a faint black fog that floated in the air. Strangely, this fog was not affected by the flow of air at all. It was like a living creature with a soul as it drilled straight into the eyes of the man-eating clan.

The three man-eating clansmen watched helplessly as the black fog drilled into their eyes. Gradually, their consciousness began to slow down, and their confused gazes were revealed.

The two soldiers stopped eating. The broken arm in their hands fell to the ground, and they did not know how to pick it up. The man-eating clan warrior also stopped sucking blood. He let go with his mouth, and raised his head to look at the air in confusion.

Wu Chang didn’t know how long this confusion lasted. It seemed to be only three to four minutes. He had already realized that the pressure on his shoulder had disappeared. Although the man-eating clan was still locking his shoulders, that was just a posture. He had already lost all his strength.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he didn’t run now, when would he run? Wu Chang suddenly exerted his strength, and forced the man-eating clan warrior back more than a meter. Then, he ran away without caring about anything else.

The man-eating clan member looked at the fleeing Wu Chang in a daze. Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something. He screamed and exerted strength in his legs. Then, he rushed after Wu Chang’s figure.

The two soldiers behind him did not show any weakness, either. They screamed and chased after Wu Chang.

Amidst the cries of the three members of the man-eating clan, pairs of bright eyes appeared in the darkness of the mine tunnel. Dark figures appeared one after another. They followed closely behind the warrior, and chased in the direction where Wu Chang had fled.

In less than 15 minutes, more than 60 members of the man-eating clan appeared out of nowhere and shouted as they charged towards Wu Chang.

Although Wu Chang was escaping, he did not forget to observe the environment. When the footsteps behind him became denser and denser, he finally understood that he had provoked a whole nest of man-eating clan. They had mobilized their entire force, and would not stop until he turned into their dish.

Right in front of Wu Chang’s escape, in the north of the same mine, the main force of hitmen led by Ado was carefully advancing. Ado carefully observed the surrounding environment. He already knew that Wu Chang was a martial artist whose realm wasn’t low. His initial estimate was that he should be slightly higher than Wu Chang. He had to be very careful when dealing with such an enemy.

The 12 killers behind him were also very careful. After all, this place was too close to the man-eating clan’s territory. Everyone present was afraid of the man-eating clan.

Just as everyone was carefully moving forward, a commotion suddenly came from the front of the mine tunnel, followed by messy footsteps. It seemed that someone was approaching them at high speed.

“Be on guard, prepare—” Before Ado could finish speaking, Wu Chang, whose shoulder was bleeding profusely, had already rushed into their line of sight. He was so conspicuous under the light of the mine lamps.

“Run, everyone, run, there is man-eating clan behind me…”
