"Don't think I'm not good at close combat, little cat." These were the words the woman in the red dress said after kicking "Soul Devourer" so quickly that even this cat couldn't react for a moment.
This was another trap she had set from the beginning, and it was a big one! From the very start, when "Soul Devourer" got close, she used her pistol to force it back, and then the continuous firepower suppression later was all to give this extraordinary cat, which had human-like intelligence but lacked corresponding knowledge and experience, an illusion.
The illusion that "this woman is not good at close combat and is afraid of being approached"!
Sure enough, it fell into the trap. It naively thought that this human woman had no close combat ability. So when it saw the woman put away the pistol that could suppress it, it rushed out without much consideration.
This was the fundamental reason why, even though extraordinary creatures had intelligence similar to that of humans, they still couldn't defeat humans at the same level.
They didn't understand human schemes and were easily deceived by appearances, thus falling into the hunter's trap.
It was the same when they were just beasts, and it was still the same after they awakened their spiritual intelligence but without enough time to accumulate experience.
And with this kick, the woman in the red dress used all her strength, aiming to kick this extraordinary cat to death!
She had tested it before. With this level of force, even the toughest hind thigh bone of a buffalo could be split in two. She didn't believe she couldn't kick a cat to death. But to prevent any unexpected situations, after kicking, she fired two more shots, just to completely cut off any chance of the cat surviving.
Then, she saw a scene that was quite strange to her.
She saw that the two bullets she fired later encountered an inexplicable resistance in the air. Finally, although they hit the target, due to the decrease in kinetic energy, they didn't fully penetrate the body of the tricolor cat, with nearly one-third of them exposed outside.
After that, an even more astonishing scene occurred.
After "Soul Devourer" landed, it actually stood up shakily! Although it was obvious that it was at the end of its rope and could barely stand up, it still managed to survive!
Seeing this scene, the woman in the red dress was stunned. She had never expected such a result.
However, she quickly regained her composure, raised her gun, and fired several more shots.
At the critical moment, a cat's cry that could shake the soul resounded through the whole street. Even the nearby residents who had been knocked out by the woman in the red dress twitched their eyelids upon hearing this cry, as if they were about to wake up soon.
Although those bullets were not affected by the cry, the next moment, they seemed to get stuck in glue, and their speed visibly decreased until they completely lost their kinetic energy and landed on the ground, making a jingling sound.
"Tsk, it's because of the lower realm. If it were one realm higher, this stupid cat wouldn't have been able to survive." The woman in the red dress complained, but she didn't show the slightest sign of panic. Even though she could see that in front of the tricolor cat, five huge ghostly figures were emerging.
In the eyes of non-soul-based superpower users, ghosts were just transparent, movable ability entities, and their existence could only be vaguely felt through the fluctuations of the surrounding air. But in the eyes of soul-based superpower users, ghosts were semi-transparent, and besides, their forms were exactly the same as when they were alive. Of course, there were exceptions, such as these five ghostly figures in front of "Soul Devourer".
These five ghostly figures were five huge beasts, namely a bear, an elephant, a tiger, a rhinoceros, and a hippopotamus, all at the top of the food chain. Moreover, the size of these five beastly ghostly figures was much larger than their normal state.
The ghostly figure of the tiger was 1.7 meters high at the shoulder and four meters long. Its tiger claws were as big as an adult's head, and it opened its mouth menacingly, revealing its sharp teeth.
The ghostly figure of the brown bear was two meters high at the shoulder and three meters long. Its whole body muscles were tense, giving off a strong sense of power. Its posture was similar to that of the tiger's ghostly figure, opening its mouth ferociously.
The ghostly figure of the hippopotamus was the same. It was nearly two meters high at the shoulder and nearly six meters long. Although it didn't have obvious muscles all over its body and didn't look particularly fierce, at a glance, it was like a volcano about to erupt, giving people a sense of extreme danger.
The ghostly figures of the rhinoceros and the elephant at the end were the most exaggerated. One was nearly three meters high and nearly seven meters long, with thick leather armor all over its body, and the two horns on its nose were shining coldly, just like a "natural tank". The other was nearly six meters high and nearly ten meters long, with two tusks like two sharp swords, and its huge size was like a bunker on the ground.
Just with these two most powerful ghostly figures, the whole street seemed to sink a bit. (Of course, they had no mass, after all, they were just ghosts in the end.)
"Have you used all your trump cards?" The woman in the red dress said without the slightest sense of nervousness when facing the five beastly ghostly figures more than ten meters away, whose eyes were shining with a bloodthirsty red light.
The hundreds of ghostly figures released by "Soul Devourer" earlier were basically small creatures like mice and birds. Individually, they couldn't cause any real harm, so they could only rely on their quantity to put pressure on the enemy. That's why she could so easily take control of half of them.
However, she couldn't do the same with these five oversized ghostly figures. Every time she used her ability on them, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, with no response at all.
"Meow." After "Soul Devourer", which was extremely weak, let out this cry, the other four beasts except the hippopotamus immediately charged towards the woman in the red dress, while it itself lay down on the ground, protected by the hippopotamus.
As the woman in the red dress said, it had used all its trump cards. The cry just now used up its last bit of strength. Now, not only did the wounds all over its body cause excessive blood loss, but the kick it received earlier also severely damaged its internal bones and organs, with basically seven-tenths of them broken. Even it thought it was a miracle that it could survive and release its trump cards.
At this moment, feeling the loss of its vitality, it knew that it would die in less than half an hour. The only hope was its human companion and his friends.
Before this battle started, it had been waiting near Zhu Yaoguo's convenience store and had witnessed its human companion's friends, namely Lei Ting and the others, come and take Zhu Yaoguo away.
As long as they could come back quickly, there would be a chance to save it!
On the other hand, when the woman in the red dress saw the four huge creatures pouncing towards her, she rubbed her hands with great interest. Then she took out a gray pebble the size of a fist from her pocket and said:
"Since the little cat has used all its trump cards, then I, sister, will get serious too. This stone is a treasure that sister prepared specially for you."
After saying that, the woman in the red dress threw the pebble, which was the size of a duck egg and looked quite ordinary, in front of her. Without using much strength, it rolled slowly like an ordinary stone.
