Chapter 1444: Being Locked
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Feeling her son’s confidence, Lin Qiao took a deep breath and then carried the boy in her arms, flashing out of the space. Once out, she sensed multiple vibes pressing down on her. Wu Chengyue’s lightning, the crazy monster, the tense atmosphere created by Lan Lu and Dong Xiaowei against Si Kongchen in the outer sector of the base, all those gave Lin Qiao a feeling of depression.
That something agitated inside her was stimulated more intensely. It started to reach her mind, seemingly trying to take control of her body. Anyhow, she tried her best to stay calm and to cool down.
Teng turned to look at the monster with his arms around his mother’s neck once he came out of the space. The monster paused briefly when Teng came out and swiftly dodged Wu Chengyue’s attack before looking at Teng.
At that very moment, Teng built a connection with it, as if their minds had just merged into one.
After that, he looked at the monster and automatically uttered a series of growls with his baby voice. “Whoaaaaaa... Errrrr...”
Lin Qiao felt a little speechless. The boy’s facial expression looked fierce, but his soft baby voice ruined that fierceness. However, the monster let out a deep humming from its throat when it heard Teng’s roar, which was not intimidating to Lin Qiao at all.
“Urrrrr...”
As Teng caught the monster’s attention, Wu Chengyue raised his arms again and brought a new series of lightning down from the sky.
He had been injured, and his energy was a little disordered at the moment. So currently, he was only able to bring down a few dark lightning bolts from the sky.
After suffering a solid strike, the monster had been paying close attention to the sky. Any sound coming from there would make it dodge. So this time, Wu Chengyue’s lightning didn’t hit it.
It turned in the sky and circled back, abruptly flashing toward Teng and Lin Qiao.
The monster was swift. Within a blink, it showed up behind Lin Qiao. She reacted as quickly as she could but still didn’t manage to draw back in time. She froze when the monster showed up behind her, feeling as if she were disabled from moving.
Seeing the monster show up behind his wife and son, Wu Chengyue almost exploded. He popped his eyes and charged at it at the lighting speed. However, when he was only hundreds of meters away from Lin Qiao and the boy, the monster swung its huge tail over and sent him flying away.
Clap!
Lin Qiao watched Wu Chengyue be lashed into the sky by the monster’s tail, without being able to move. She didn’t have the time to worry about Wu Chengyue though. That mere strike wouldn’t kill him anyway.
She needed to deal with her current situation.
She couldn’t move, but Teng could. He held Lin Qiao neck and brought himself higher, before turning back to look at the monster in the eyes. The monster was less than a hundred meters away from him. He could see its enormous head clearly.
“Roarrrr!” Teng roared at it using zombie language.
The monster let out a breath through its nose, without making any sound. However, it started to wag its tail from side to side rhythmically.
“What’s going on now? How come I’m feeling a little confused?” Wei Haichao and Han Xiao, who were standing near Lan Lu, both raised their heads to look at the monster with confusion. To be precise, they were actually looking at the monster’s head and Lin Qiao, who was standing right before it.
Wu Chengyue landed hundreds of meters away on his feet. Seeing that the monster wasn’t attacking Teng and Lin Qiao, he forced himself to stay calm. He had no idea what was going on between Teng and the monster either, but he was less confused than the other people. After all, Lin Wenwen had foreseen Teng taming the monster. ‘Let Teng handle it,’ he said to himself, ‘Maybe the boy’s power is just starting to show.’
Apart from him and Lin Qiao, all the others were feeling utterly confused. They thought the monster would swallow the woman and the boy when they first saw it charge at them. But unexpectedly, the monster and the boy were now staring at each other in silence.
Lin Qiao was carrying Teng in her arms stiffly. Being stared at by a level-nine, gigantic monster from the back was terrifying. That was probably the most dangerous moment she had experienced since she came back to life.
If Teng couldn’t deal with the monster, both of them would be doomed, because Lin Qiao couldn’t even enter her space at the moment. She couldn’t move at all. Her mind was still clear, but her body was no longer under her control.
“Don’t tell me that you’re talking to it,” she said to Teng.
She understood Teng’s roars but not the monster’s. It seemed like the boy and the monster were communicating with each other.
“Roarrr!” Teng gave the monster another series of roars.
“Roarrr...” The monster responded to him with a deep growl and then quietly looked at Teng while floating in the air motionlessly. After that, Teng turned to Lin Qiao and said excitedly, “Yeah, yeah, I can talk with it! In fact, it’ll understand you too if you talk to it using zombie language.”
At the same moment, Lin Qiao suddenly felt relieved. She no longer felt being locked by a super-powerful being.
Teng’s words reminded her of Red and Strong. They were both able to understand her zombie roars, and they had smartly communicated with her using actions after learning that she didn’t speak their language.
“What did you say to it?” Lin Qiao asked her son while turning to face the monster.
From a close distance, she found the creature looking weird. It had a pair of horns on its head and a few thorns near its eye corners, pointing upward. The long and thin thorns at the corners of its eyes looked like eyelashes.
It had huge eyes, which looked like two light balls on its face. It had a long face and a sharp snout, a little like the mouth of a dog. That mouth seemed enormous when it was opened wide, or when the teeth were bared.
