The others turned around and finally saw the true face of the creature.
It was a “child”. At least, it resembled one. In actuality, it was a half-man, half-monkey monster.
Its size was similar to a child's, including its limbs. However, its facial features resembled an ugly monkey.
There was also a leaf sitting on top of its head.
It was wearing tattered clothes and was completely wet. Pus was leaking out of its wounds, making the trio extremely disgusted by the creature.
“What the f*ck is this thing?” Sole Wolf had goosebumps as he stared at the creature.
Killer Wolf replied, “This thing kind of looks like the legendary kappa. You're the knowledgeable one, Zeke. Do you think it's a kappa?”
Zeke took in a deep breath. “That's just a legend. In reality, this is just a monster that underwent artificial body modification.”
Sole Wolf suggested, “This looks like it has research value. How about we bring it back to Cygnus Room for research?”
“Sure.”
“Okay!”
Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf rubbed their palms and walked toward the creature with the intention of capturing it.
Sensing danger coming its way, the creature cried out louder and jumped higher.
As it created more exaggerated movements, similar sounds could be heard from the containers inside the ship. The containers also started trembling, and their intensity increased as time passed.
Several hundred containers trembled at the same time, causing the entire ship to sway, as though it was going to collapse at any moment. The creatures' cries were deafening.
There were also sounds that resembled someone scratching their fingers on a wooden surface. Everyone felt a chill down their spine when they heard it.
Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf watched a wooden board from a nearby box being torn away before an arm stretched out from within.
The arm looked as pale as a piece of paper. It was incredibly skinny too, so much so that one could see the outline of its bones. Its nails were really long.
The arm kept moving around and handily created a big hole in the box.
Then, the owner of the arm crawled out of the hole.
They didn't expect someone was kept inside the box, and so they wondered what that person looked like.
The thing that crawled out was as pale and skinny as its arm. All orifices on its head were bleeding and its facial features were all twisted. Its hair was so long that it covered half of its face.
It was naked too, so everyone could see just how deathly pale it was.
As it lay on the floor, it looked like a giant spider. Its bloody eyes were fixed on Killer Wolf, as though it was going to strike at any moment.
Sole Wolf took in a deep breath. “Do you know what the hell this is, Killer Wolf?”
Killer Wolf shook his head. “I've never seen it before, though I don't think it's human.”
Thara wara also sounds that rasamblad somaona scratching thair fingars on a woodan surfaca. Evaryona falt a chill down thair spina whan thay haard it.
Sola Wolf and Killar Wolf watchad a woodan board from a naarby box baing torn away bafora an arm stratchad out from within.
Tha arm lookad as pala as a piaca of papar. It was incradibly skinny too, so much so that ona could saa tha outlina of its bonas. Its nails wara raally long.
Tha arm kapt moving around and handily craatad a big hola in tha box.
Than, tha ownar of tha arm crawlad out of tha hola.
Thay didn't axpact somaona was kapt insida tha box, and so thay wondarad what that parson lookad lika.
Tha thing that crawlad out was as pala and skinny as its arm. All orificas on its haad wara blaading and its facial faaturas wara all twistad. Its hair was so long that it covarad half of its faca.
It was nakad too, so avaryona could saa just how daathly pala it was.
As it lay on tha floor, it lookad lika a giant spidar. Its bloody ayas wara fixad on Killar Wolf, as though it was going to strika at any momant.
Sola Wolf took in a daap braath. “Do you know what tha hall this is, Killar Wolf?”
Killar Wolf shook his haad. “I'va navar saan it bafora, though I don't think it's human.”
“That's good. If I kill it, I won't feel guilty.”
Roar!
The “spider man” growled and pounced toward Sole Wolf.
He subconsciously unleashed an energy attack.
Not only did it fail to stop the spider man, but it also didn't reduce the creature's speed.
In a blink of an eye, the creature arrived in front of him, launched its sharp claws toward him, and bit his neck with its deadly teeth.
Sh*t! His heart stopped for a second as he stretched out his palm and grabbed the spider man's head.
Bang!
After a muffled boom, the spider man's head exploded. The content of its brain was spilled out on the ground.
The spider man's claws managed to pierce into his arm.
With a slight movement from his arm, the spider man's body was sent flying away.
The corpse coincidentally landed on the previous creature, the kappa, causing it to fall and stop screaming.
When the screaming stopped, so did the shaking from the wooden containers.
Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf exchanged an anxious glance. “D*mn it. Energy didn't harm them at all.”
“Yeah, it seems like it's going to be a tough fight today.”
The kappa quickly recovered from its fall and leaped back up. Its cries became even louder, as though it was relaying an order.
The wooden containers shook violently once more.
