Start the liver experience with push-ups

Listening to the strange noises coming from outside the door again.

Fang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then got out of bed and quietly walked to the dormitory door.

Then, he carefully peered out through the peephole.

Thud—

Thud—

The sound was gradually approaching, like a hammer slowly and heavily striking his heart.

Fang Cheng held his breath, only staring at the small space presented in the peephole's concave lens.

After a few seconds, his bright pupils suddenly contracted, and he took a sharp breath.

He finally saw what was making the sound in the dark corridor.

It was… an extremely strange figure.

The moonlight shone in faintly, revealing a vaguely humanoid silhouette.

As the figure moved closer, its overall appearance emerged into view.

The skin was bare, a dull gray-green, with a few scales covering its back.

Its head was large, its eyes bulged like fish eyes, and its limbs had webbed hands and feet like a frog.

It was smooth and slimy all over, looking like some kind of hybrid between a marine creature and a human.

Moreover, as it approached Fang Cheng's room, a rotten, fishy smell surged like seawater.

This kind of smell might be hard for ordinary people to notice.

But in Fang Cheng's perception, it was extremely clear and strong, and he couldn't help but exhale a turbid breath.

Then, the sound in the corridor stopped.

The monster stood in front of the door, turning its head to look at the room where Fang Cheng was.

Its eyes flashed with a ghostly green light, its gaze seeming to penetrate the door and see the scene inside.

Fang Cheng didn't make any movements, just lying behind the door, his muscles tensed.

A person and a monster stared at each other through the door like this.

It was almost exactly the same as last night's scene.

The stench continued to assault him, constantly drilling into his nostrils.

The terrifying monster outside the door seemed like it would suddenly rush in at any moment.

Sweat oozed slightly from Fang Cheng's clenched fist.

Remembering the meditation method taught by his mentor, he immediately chose to cut off his sense of smell, isolating part of his perception.

Only a faint fishy smell lingered at the tip of his nose.

Fang Cheng, who was贴(tie1) at the door, heard the sound of footsteps getting far away, and slowly pushed the door open a small crack.

Then he poked his head out, looking left and right in the dark and silent corridor.

Except for the window at the end, with a faint mist blown in by the wind, the corridor was empty, without any sign of anyone.

Fang Cheng glanced back at Pan Wendi lying in the quilt, smacking his lips, seemingly having a sweet dream.

So he gently pushed the door open, his figure flashed, and he walked out of the dormitory.

Outside, the night was dark, and the moonlight shone through the thin mist into the villa, as if adding a blue filter.

Fang Cheng pricked up his ears, listening carefully, then tiptoed and quickly came to the stairs at the end of the corridor.

He poked his head down and glanced, and sure enough, he saw the figure of the monster.

It… was walking downstairs.

Its figure was crooked, and its walking posture looked very awkward.

Fang Cheng raised his foot, preparing to step forward and follow, but suddenly retracted it.

Because, at this time, a similar strange sound came from upstairs.

After a while, a figure, also like a half-human, half-fish, slowly walked down from upstairs.

After passing through the corridor on the third floor, it continued to walk down.

In the darkness, Fang Cheng's eyes shone brightly, staring at the second monster that appeared.

Until it gradually moved away, he took a deep breath, and the look of doubt on his face became even stronger.

This training camp base was strange everywhere.

If there hadn't been an abnormality in his meditation practice, Fang Cheng wouldn't have wanted to make trouble and inquire about the secrets here.

Now that he was in it, seeing the terrifying inhuman monsters with his own eyes made it impossible for him to feel at ease.

After waiting quietly for a few seconds, he found that there were no other footsteps around.

After hesitating slightly, Fang Cheng still stepped forward, deciding to continue tracking.

It was late at night, and everyone on each floor was sleeping soundly, so soundly that they didn't notice any strange movements at all.

The lights in the lobby on the first floor were off, there were no staff on duty, and the door wasn't locked.

Fang Cheng followed behind the two monsters, and came outside all the way unimpeded.

They didn't take the main road, but took a small path overgrown with weeds.

The gray-white mist filled the mountains and buildings, floating with the wind.

The occasional cry of a night owl made it even more eerie and terrifying.

This small path was located on the east side of the training camp building, extending towards a high ground near the coast.

Fang Cheng slowly trailed behind, passing through a dense, misty forest.

When he looked up and looked around, a new change appeared in the scene ahead.

He discovered that he was no longer just tracking two monsters.

Under the moonlight, a group of half-human, half-fish creatures were scattered on this towering cape extending into the sea.

Their movements were very slow, as if they were not used to walking on land.

When they approached the top of the cape, they seemed to become excited, simply choosing to use all fours, and their speed suddenly increased dozens of times.

In an instant, they all scurried to the cliff, making bursts of sharp, hoarse throat sounds.

Then, like dumplings being thrown into water, they jumped off one by one, falling into the sea.

Fang Cheng stood below the cape, staring in astonishment at this scene.

When he saw them all jump down, he immediately quickened his pace and ran to the top of the cliff.

Yongan Island has a very unique and spectacular coastal erosion landscape.

The rock walls cut off by the sea water have become independent platforms, standing in the undulating waves.

The location where Fang Cheng was belonged to the highest point in the surrounding area.

The waves surged under the cliff, unfathomable.

The figures of those monsters were swallowed by the darkness, disappearing without a trace.

Fang Cheng leaned down and stared, his pupils faintly projecting a red light.

After turning on "Eagle Eye Vision", his sight penetrated the dark sea water like a substance.

Below the sea surface, a dense mass of monster figures gathered into a ball, at least several hundred.

They entangled each other, rotating their bodies, swimming freely in the sea, appearing more joyful and excited than on land.

It was as if they were holding some kind of gathering here, welcoming the addition of new partners.

Looking at such a bizarre and terrifying scene, Fang Cheng couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He suddenly remembered what Lin Chuqiao had said, that coming here to participate in cultivation might change his inherent view of this world.

This island, and this so-called "Truth and Meditation Co-cultivation Association", might be a gathering place for monsters.

Fang Cheng suddenly raised his head, looking at the town surrounded by the dark ocean in the distance.

It seemed that there were still many unknown secrets and dangers hidden within.

A long and steady light suddenly pierced through the sea, reflecting into Fang Cheng's pupils.

It was the lighthouse guiding navigation in the harbor.

At the same time, there were two more flashes of light faintly.

A fishing boat was quietly approaching this side under the cover of night.

………………………………

In the cockpit.

The radar display emitted a beeping sound, constantly scanning and detecting the surrounding sea area.

The fishing boat slowed to its lowest speed a kilometer from the cape, drifting slowly on the pitch-black sea.

“A'Wu, how is it? Have you found any trace of those things?”

Inside the cockpit, the boat boss at the helm glanced at the radar display, then turned to look at the man standing beside him.

A'Wu held infrared binoculars in both hands, seemingly observing the situation ahead.

He then replied:

“According to the organization's intelligence, in the early hours of the days leading up to Yong'an Island's Sea Festival, those monsters will come from all directions to gather in this sea area. It should be right. Let's keep searching carefully.”

Upon hearing this, the boat boss suppressed his impatience and stared at the radar display.

However, the borrowed old fishing boat had outdated equipment.

When using the radar to detect earlier, apart from discovering a few reefs and schools of fish, there were no gains at all.

Just as he was pondering, the radar suddenly emitted a “beep beep” alert.

His eyes lit up as he looked at the large red area on the display screen, and he immediately shouted:

“Looks like we've found our target. It's so obvious, it shouldn't be a school of fish…”

A'Wu immediately instructed upon hearing this:

“Brother, quickly turn off the motor and stop!”

At the same time, he reached out and turned off the lights illuminating the cockpit.

The boat boss immediately did as he was told, shutting off the engine.

Soon, the entire fishing boat was plunged into darkness and silence.

The two held their breaths, observing the area indicated by the radar with infrared binoculars, whispering to each other.

“I see those monsters.”

“Don't act rashly now. Wait for them to finish their gathering, and we only need to catch a straggler…”

This seemingly ordinary fishing boat carried quite a bit of fishing gear.

There were diving suits, electric harpoon guns, and even explosive packs.

Moreover, in the cabin behind the cockpit, a pool of dark red blood was seeping out.

The two patiently waited for nearly two hours.

Suddenly, A'Wu, holding the infrared binoculars, softly called out:

“Get ready, it's coming!”

At the same time, the red area on the radar display also showed a dispersing trend.

Upon hearing this, the boat boss quickly took off his shirt, preparing to put on the diving suit.

Seeing this, A'Wu immediately stopped him:

“Don't go underwater. That thing is too good in the water. It's best to lure it onto the boat so we can deal with it.”

As he spoke, he bent down and took out a few underwater burning sticks from the travel bag beside the console.

“Their eyes are very sensitive to red light. I'll use this to attract the target over, and you can use the weapon to aim and attack…”

The two quickly finalized their plan.

Just then, they faintly heard the sound of water being cut open, a "whoosh."

It seemed like something was swimming towards the fishing boat.

They didn't take action immediately, because there were many such sounds around them.

A'Wu listened intently, relying on his own powerful hearing to identify various subtle movements within a few dozen meters.

Half a minute later, he turned his head and gave the boat boss a look indicating he was ready to act.

Then he stood up and snapped the underwater burning stick in his hand.

Then he walked out of the cockpit and threw the lit half of the burning stick towards the sea not far away.

The red flame instantly sank into the water, illuminating a dark red halo, and also illuminating a strange figure.

“Hiss—”

A sharp, piercing sound came from the sea.

A'Wu's spirits lifted, and he immediately raised the other half of the burning stick in his hand, waving it continuously.

The monster hidden beneath the surface seemed to be enraged.

With a splash, the sound of waves breaking suddenly rose, rushing towards the fishing boat at an extremely fast speed.

Immediately after, with a "bang."

A monster with dark green skin and half-human, half-fish features jumped onto the deck with a splash.

A'Wu, however, was not flustered at all, staring at the monster, a smirk appearing on the corner of his mouth:

“Stinky fish, out of the water, you might not be my opponent.”

The other party obviously didn't understand his words, its eyes glowing with a ghostly green light, emitting a sharp hiss from its mouth.

Suddenly, it dropped to all fours, rushing towards him quickly with a gust of fishy wind.

A'Wu, however, was already prepared for battle, his fists clenched tightly, crackling.

In an instant, his hands turned red and hot, emitting white smoke, as if steel had entered a furnace, generating temperatures of thousands of degrees.

Then, he met the rushing monster with a simple and unadorned backhand straight punch.

Bang!

The half-human, half-fish's head took the punch head-on, but it didn't even budge, not even taking half a step back.

It seemed that A'Wu's punch was too weak to cause any damage to it.

However, immediately after, the monster let out an extremely shrill roar.

At the moment when the fist made contact with the fish-like head, it glowed crimson.

A sizzling sound could even be heard, and even a strange meaty aroma wafted in the air.

A'Wu smiled and said:

“Please enjoy some grilled fish!”

Under the pain of being burned, the monster's ferocity was greatly aroused, and it directly raised its head, opening its mouth to bite the enemy.

Seeing this, A'Wu grabbed the other party's neck with one hand and blocked the other party's webbed claws with the other.

The two sides became locked in a stalemate for a moment.

Although the monster suffered burning pain, its recovery ability was extremely abnormal.

The bloody hole burned on its head quickly recovered by half.

A'Wu's face was not looking good, and he immediately shouted:

“Brother, quickly use the tranquilizer gun!”

The boat boss hurriedly ran out of the cockpit, taking out a specially shaped pistol.

He fired three shots in a row at the half-human, half-fish monster.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

The monster, after being shot, quickly felt weak in its limbs, its strength gradually diminishing, staggering back a few steps, approaching the side of the boat.

Seeing that it was trying to escape, the boat boss immediately picked up the electric harpoon gun again, shooting out another harpoon.

The sharp forkhead pierced into the monster's thick pectoral muscles, the damage was not great, but it also shocked it, preventing it from escaping.

Finally, after persisting for a few seconds, the monster finally collapsed.

On the deck, the two "hunters" looked at each other, both showing joy at their success.

“Ten million is in our hands!”

The boat boss couldn't help but whisper excitedly.

A'Wu shook his head and smiled:

“Money is a small matter, what's important is the organization's promise.”

The two observed the surroundings, quickly joining forces to drag the monster's body into the cabin.

However—

When they went inside, they were stunned to find that an extra stranger had appeared in the cockpit at some point.

It was a young man with wet, black hair.

His body, with his shirt off, revealed well-proportioned and sturdy muscles, a truly perfect work of art.

He seemed to have just swum onto the boat from the sea, and was facing an electric heater, drying his clothes.

With a slight exertion of his arms, his biceps bulged noticeably, as if hiding explosive power.

“Who are you?”

A'Wu and the boat boss stared at their opponent, faintly sensing a dangerous aura.

The young man tilted his head and glanced at them, also asking:

“Who are you?”
