Chapter 1253
1253 Choosing the wrong target to scheme on
After realizing that he was tied up, Tang Zhen ignored the middle-aged man. Instead, he sized up the strange thing called nightmare skin with interest.
Speaking of which, this nightmare skin was quite magical. Although it looked like an inanimate object, when one touched it with their hands, they could feel that it was a living thing!
Even if it was dead skin shed from a nightmare, it could still survive independently and even have the possibility of evolving into a complete body.
Every time someone sat on the nightmare hide, the pores would produce countless tough hair, silently holding the person tightly. At the same time, the edges of the nightmare hide would curl up, trying to wrap around the person sitting on it.
The middle-aged man and the others were very particular about their sitting positions. They each pressed down on a part of the boundary of the skin, which prevented it from curling up. However, even so, the nightmare skin did not stop struggling!
After being wrapped by the nightmare skin, it would automatically absorb the blood essence of the trapped creature, draining its flesh and blood, and finally turning it into a dry corpse!
As long as it absorbed enough life essence, the nightmare hide would undergo a mutation. Its size would gradually increase and thicken, until it grew into a terrifying nightmare again!
In this world, the skin of a nightmare wasn’t anything rare. It could often be found in the corners of some buildings. Many of them were discarded during the evolution of a nightmare, and were basically in an open state.
As for the rolled-up nightmare skins, there were skeletons wrapped in them without exception, indicating that it had once devoured a careless fellow!
Of course, Tang Zhen was temporarily unaware of this situation. He only knew that the hair from his nightmare skin had tied up his legs. It was precisely because of this that the middle-aged man appeared fearless!
As long as it was an ordinary person, they would not be able to break free from the binding of these hairs. In the end, they could only obediently let themselves be slaughtered!
After staring at the nightmare skin for a while, Tang Zhen shifted his gaze back and looked at the middle-aged man’s proud smile. He gently shook his head and said in a cold voice,”It’s still too early for you to be happy. Who told you that I can’t leave this nightmare skin?”
The middle-aged man was startled when he heard this. He used a puzzled gaze to size up Tang Zhen while revealing a disdainful smile at the same time.
From the middle-aged man’s point of view, Tang Zhen was just trying to be stubborn. When the knife fell on him, he would definitely beg for mercy with tears and snot!
There was only one thing that he could not understand. Why did Tang Zhen still have such a fearless appearance even at this moment? it was as if he was unconcerned about the danger that was about to happen to him. Moreover, it was obvious that he was not acting tough on the outside but was actually a coward on the inside.
Could it be that this man from another world really had a way to deal with the crisis in front of him? otherwise, he would not be so calm!
When the middle-aged man thought of this, a trace of vigilance suddenly appeared in his heart. He had originally planned to slowly deal with Tang Zhen so that the long night would no longer be boring. However, he had now decided to immediately take action to collect the reward that he deserved.
“It’s useless no matter what you say. If you could really leave this nightmare skin, how would you end up in this state?”
From the middle-aged man’s point of view, any unlucky person who suddenly appeared in this abandoned house was either a transmigrator from another world or a weak sleepless. With their weak strength, there was no way they could resist the restraints of the nightmare skin!
After saying this, a trace of ferocity appeared on the middle-aged man’s face again. He said to Tang Zhen in a low voice,”From now on, enjoy this rare experience. After tonight, you’ll completely lose your left hand!
Remember, do not resist or shout, or I will cut your neck instead of your wrist!”
The middle-aged man suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and ruthlessly swung it toward Tang Zhen’s arm as soon as he finished speaking.
The distance between the two was less than a meter. The middle-aged man’s dagger could definitely hurt Zhen Tang easily, especially when his body was trapped by the nightmare skin. It was simply impossible to escape!
A cold glint immediately flickered in Tang Zhen’s eyes when he saw that the middle-aged man had really attacked him. Moreover, he did not show any mercy at all.
When the dagger was about to come into contact with his body, Tang Zhen actually didn’t Dodge or evade. Instead, he directly extended his hand and blocked it. The dagger made of unknown material was caught by him.
“d.a.m.n it, let go of me, or I’ll make you pay a heavy price!”
When the middle-aged man saw that his dagger was caught by Tang Zhen, there was not much panic on his face. On the contrary, he fiercely threatened and waved to his companions around him.
After receiving the middle-aged man’s signal, his companions took out ropes and threw them at Tang Zhen at the same time.
The movements of these fellows were incomparably skilled. Clearly, they frequently used la.s.soes. Adding this to the extremely short distance and Tang Zhen being unable to move his body, not a single one of the la.s.soes fell on his body.
He didn’t know what material these ropes were made of, but they looked extremely tough. Once they were tied, they would be pulled tightly, and there was no way to break free!
Clearly, this group of people was already prepared for this. After confirming that Tang Zhen was trapped, their smug and mocking expressions became even more intense. It was as if they had already defeated Tang Zhen.
The ignorant were fearless. These guys didn’t know what kind of terrifying existence the ” rookie ” they were dealing with was!
Tang Zhen would not be polite to this group of people who tried to harm him. His wrist gently shook and he s.n.a.t.c.hed back the dagger from the middle-aged man. Soon after, a cold light flashed and the dagger cut across the middle-aged man’s arm.
This move was extremely fast. Before the middle-aged man could feel any pain, one of his arms had been cut off at the root, and blood was spurting out!
Looking at the blood spurting out of his broken arm, the middle-aged man screamed and tried to stop the bleeding in a hurry. In the end, it sprayed all over his companions ‘heads and faces. They were all covered in blood but could not Dodge.
“Since you’re seeking your own death, you can’t blame me!”
His body did not shake at all, but the ropes wrapped around Tang Zhen’s body broke and slid down. Some of the ropes had even turned into a pile of powder.
After seeing this scene, the middle-aged man and his companion were shocked. They knew how tough the rope was, but they didn’t know what kind of terrifying power and control was needed to destroy the rope to this extent!
The shocking scene continued to unfold. Under the stunned gazes of the middle-aged man and his companion, a faint flame flickered on Tang Zhen’s legs. Immediately after, a stinky burning smell spread in all directions.
The nightmare skin that was impervious to fire and water had actually been charred. It was the part below Tang Zhen’s body that had been completely carbonized!
what nightmare skin? it seems like it’s nothing more than this!
Tang Zhen coldly snorted and slowly stood up from the ground. He looked down at those people whose faces were filled with fear from above as the corner of his mouth was lifted into a trace of a cruel smile.
