Alien Species Invasion? I Kill Them Back.

Chapter 8: Chapter 6: The Big-Headed Monster

The woman lowered her gaze, hiding her emotions. "...No. The patrol came too quickly. They discovered me before I could even make a move."

The fat man immediately sneered in contempt.

The tall, thin man also looked disappointed. "Try not to act on your own for now. Unless you have intel on a hidden Boss, we should keep focusing on finding the Maze."

"Mm, got it," the woman replied lazily.

The fat man grumbled from the side, "There’s no need to mess with the Inspection Bureau! How many points do you even get for killing them? It’s a waste of time! If we can find a hidden Boss, even a young one, it would be worth at least 3,000 points!"

"We don’t have any tracking Skills. Finding a hidden Boss is just a matter of luck." The thin man sighed and stood up. "I’m going to head out and finish this week’s basic tasks. You two keep an eye on her. Make sure you pry some clues out of her."

In the courtyard, Feng Ling crouched down a little lower.

She heard the main door open and footsteps fade into the distance.

’One of them is gone.’

Feng Ling’s mind started racing...

’Three Alien Species inside. The little girl obviously has no combat strength, and the woman’s ability is no threat to me. That just leaves the fat man, whose ability is still unknown...’

Feng Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, focusing more of her attention on the fat man.

He was truly fat—abnormally so. His neck was thick and corpulent, his arms were round and heavy, and the fat on his belly practically covered his thighs. He looked like a human-sized rice dumpling, the greasy kind.

The fat man grabbed the little girl by the back of her collar and demanded irascibly, "Don’t think I can’t do anything to you just because you’re silent! You definitely know a clue about the Maze, or you wouldn’t have posted on the forums looking for a team!"

The little girl had clearly been beaten, and her voice was extremely weak. "I really don’t know... Please, just let me go..."

The woman, wrapped in a blanket, yawned. "We’ve been asking for so long and gotten no clues. Just kill her and be done with it."

"I don’t need you to tell me what to do!" the fat man roared. He turned, lifted the little girl, and slammed her viciously onto the floor!

The little girl cried out in pain and curled into a ball. Tears streamed from where her two skeletal eyes were, making her look both pathetic and ridiculous.

"Don’t kill me, please don’t kill me... I don’t have enough points to create a new account anymore, please..." she begged pitifully.

The fat man stomped heavily toward the little girl. "I hate running into noobs in the game. If you don’t know how to play, you should’ve logged off ages ago! Stop getting in the way of us clearing the Maze!"

He snatched the girl’s slender forearm and roared, "Speak! Where the hell is the entrance to the Maze?!"

"AAAAAHHH!!!" The little girl let out a sudden, piercing scream. The visible part of her face below her mask—her mouth, nose, and jaw—instantly lost all color, as if she were in immense pain.

Hiding in the courtyard, Feng Ling couldn’t help but lean in closer, wanting to see more clearly.

She didn’t understand why the fat man was causing the girl so much pain just by gripping her arm.

A few seconds later, Feng Ling finally understood.

She watched as the fair little forearm began to corrode and dissolve in the fat man’s hand, turning into a purplish-green sludge before falling to the floor with a SPLAT, releasing a puff of acrid white smoke.

The little girl fell to the ground, rolling and screaming endlessly. She had lost half her arm.

Feng Ling’s gaze darkened as she watched it all unfold.

’It seems the fat man’s palms can secrete a highly corrosive acid, one that can even dissolve bone with ease.’

’This could be tricky.’

’My Bone Blade probably can’t withstand that level of corrosion. However, he doesn’t seem like an agile type of Alien Species, so my chances of winning are still high.’

’The condition is that I have to make my move before the tall, thin man gets back. Otherwise, if all three Alien Species group up, I’ll really be at a disadvantage.’

Holding her breath and moving silently, Feng Ling circled to the side of the villa, hopped the wall, and then slowly drove her small truck to the villa’s front gate.

Whether it was because the villa was too well soundproofed or because the little girl’s screams drowned everything else out, the Alien Species didn’t notice a thing despite Feng Ling hopping the wall several times.

She piled cotton mattresses, charcoal, and flour against the villa’s front and back doors, doused them with gasoline, then picked up the half-bucket of gasoline she’d saved and returned to the French windows to observe the reactions of the two Alien Species inside.

The heavy smell of gasoline soon caught the woman’s attention.

Feng Ling saw the woman stand up with a frown and sniff the air.

The fat man, however, was still engrossed in his interrogation. He pinched the little girl’s jaw and said viciously, "Are you going to talk or not?! If you don’t, I see no reason for you to keep this mouth of yours—"

"Hey," the woman interrupted with a frown, "do you smell something?"

The fat man snapped irritably, "Don’t fucking bother me!"

The woman looked displeased. She walked to the French windows herself and slid the glass door open—

From the shadows, Feng Ling seized the opportunity. She leaped up abruptly and threw the gasoline can! Immediately, a third scythe-like arm extended from her shoulder and sliced the can open with lightning speed—

The woman’s pupils shrank. Before she could even cry out, she was doused by the contents of the can in mid-air!

"AAAAAHHH!!!"

She shrieked, her eyes filled with immense terror, and instantly dissolved into a viscous, bright red pool of blood that moved rapidly toward the villa’s exit!

Feng Ling, lighter already in hand, took aim and threw it. WHOOSH! The Blood Worms were immediately engulfed in a sea of fire!

The flames spread quickly, sending thick smoke billowing upwards, but the other Alien Species inside the villa showed not a hint of worry or panic. The fat man was staring intently at the suddenly revealed Feng Ling, his eyes filled with fanaticism!

"A hidden Boss!" the fat man yelled excitedly as he lunged at Feng Ling!

His size was truly staggering; his lunge was like a mountain collapsing on her. But, just as Feng Ling had predicted, he wasn’t very agile.

Feng Ling easily dodged his pounce, her sharp, jagged Bone Blade striking downwards in the same motion! At the same time, she spared a glance for the woman in the flames—

The woman was struggling in the roaring fire, half-human and half-worm. Her human half screamed and wailed while her worm half writhed and boiled!

"Log out! Log out!"

She screamed hysterically, then collapsed. The sticky Blood Worms splattered like burst sacs, leaving specks of bloodstains on the villa’s floor tiles and walls.

’Is she dead?’

The flames and thick smoke obscured her vision. Feng Ling dodged the fat man’s reckless attacks while wondering if the woman was dead or alive. She retreated near the fire, then her Bone Blade launched a merciless offensive, sweeping toward his greasy neck!

The sharp edge cut through skin and flesh, and translucent fat oozed out, streaked with thin wisps of blood.

Feng Ling immediately frowned.

’I was trying to cut off his head, but it’s obvious the layer of fat affected the depth of the cut.’

Just as she was about to strike again, she saw the fat man’s cheeks puff out as his head began to rapidly inflate! It grew so large that his neck disappeared, his head now connecting directly to his shoulders.

At the same time, his mouth stretched to an incredible size, and his eyes were squeezed up to his forehead.

This big-headed monster stood before Feng Ling with its gaping, bloody maw, letting out a creepy laugh. "Heh heh heh... A hidden Boss..."

Feng Ling sensed trouble and turned to run, trying to create some distance.

But she had only taken two steps when a force grabbed her calf! She whipped her head around to see that the monster had shot a tongue, over ten meters long, out of its mouth and stuck it to her leg!

In an instant, the image of the little girl’s arm corroding and dissolving flashed through Feng Ling’s mind!

Alarmed, she acted without hesitation, swinging her blade down at the tongue!

The tongue was instantly sliced in two by her Bone Blade, blood pouring from the wound! But the monster, apparently feeling no pain, shot out a second tongue—
