I Created a Containment Object at the Start, and Became a God

28: A monster that can turn invisible!After the barrage, the trees in that area were all broken, and smoke filled the air. Li Dan raised his hand to signal a ceasefire, but the Thermal Imaging still showed dozens of figures lurking around.

”Something’s wrong,” Li Dan whispered to Li Yi beside him. ”At least thirty people have surrounded us.”

A cold light flashed in his eyes. ”You circle around the flank; I’ll draw their attention.”

Li Yi nodded. His body, already curled up in the dirt pit, suddenly began to twist and deform.

His skin took on an eerie black sheen, and his bones emitted faint ”kaka” sounds. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a pitch-black creature, half-man, half-leopard, silently vanishing into the night.

”Come out!” Li Dan shouted loudly, secretly gesturing to his team members to remain vigilant. ”Hiding and sneaking is not the mark of a Great Master!”

A burst of laughter suddenly erupted in the silent jungle: ”Hahaha... As expected of the Li Family elites, you found us even though we were hiding so well!”

Following the laughter, over thirty fully armed figures emerged from all directions.

They wore specialized camouflage combat uniforms and were equipped with advanced weaponry comparable to the Li Family team’s.

The man leading them took off his helmet, revealing a conspicuous Ram’s Head Emblem on his right chest.

”Zhao Hongyong, you running dog of the Yang Family!” Li Dan’s Mechanical Eye pupils contracted sharply, instantly recognizing the opponent’s identity—the Yang Family of Western Sichuan, the Li Family’s old rival.

The two families fiercely competed in various sectors, including energy and real estate.

”captain Li still speaks so harshly,” Zhao Hongyong said sarcastically. ”We were just ordered to ’receive’ the UMA you captured.”

He gazed covetously at the Biochemical Container guarded by the Li Family team. ”After all... who wouldn’t want a treasure that can prolong life?”

Li Dan sneered, ”Just you small fry?” He secretly observed his surroundings, waiting for Li Yi’s signal.

”Don’t think we don’t know,” Zhao Hongyong suddenly lowered his voice. ”Your Li Family Old Master is dying, which is why you’re so desperate to catch the Taishui Salamander...”

He raised his weapon with a sinister grin. ”Too bad, tonight this thing belongs to us!”

Just as he was about to order the firing, a shrill scream suddenly came from the rear of the Yang Family team!

A black shadow was seen darting through the crowd like lightning, and wherever it passed, blood splattered—it was Li Yi, having completed his transformation!

”Attack!” Li Dan seized the opportunity and gave the command.

The blue light of the Pulse Rifles instantly tore through the night sky, and the two elite teams began a bloody battle in the primeval jungle.

And no one noticed that the container holding the Taishui Salamander had vanished into thin air.

The battle in the jungle had reached a fever pitch.

Li Yi, in his black leopard form, was as fast as lightning under the moonlight, his sharp fangs tearing directly through the throat of a Yang Family soldier.

Blood splattered onto the leaves, glowing an eerie dark red under the moonlight.

”You’re courting death!” Zhao Hongyong roared. His muscles suddenly swelled, tearing his combat uniform to shreds.

His head twisted and deformed, instantly transforming into a Minotaur over two meters tall, with hot white steam jetting from his nostrils.

Unlike those dangerous UMA Gene Serums, most elites of the Yang and Li families injected relatively stable Ordinary Animal Gene Serums—though less powerful than UMA Genes, they offered safety and controllability.

”Bang!”

The Minotaur Zhao Hongyong grabbed Li Yi’s throat and smashed him violently into the ground. Li Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, his black leopard form barely holding together.

”Li Yi!” Li Dan’s eyes were splitting with rage. He grabbed the AK-47 from his waist and fired a burst.

The specialized Armor-Piercing Bullet exploded into blood blossoms on the Minotaur, forcing Zhao Hongyong to retreat repeatedly.

”Damn it!” Zhao Hongyong looked down at his punctured skin, blood dripping continuously from the bovine hair. ”Is this all the Li Family is capable of?”

He stomped his foot violently, shaking the ground.

A Yang Family Sniper hidden in the shadows seized the opportunity, and an Armor-Piercing Round accurately hit Li Dan’s arm, instantly breaking it completely.

The battle was deadlocked, and both sides were fighting fiercely. But just then, a Li Family soldier suddenly shouted in terror, ”The container! The container is gone!”

Li Dan spun around—the specialized container, originally guarded by four elites, had vanished into thin air!

”Roar—!”

Li Dan threw his head back and let out a roar that wasn’t human. The blood gushing from his broken arm suddenly solidified.

His skin quickly turned an eerie Crimson color, and his eyes were covered with spiderweb-like Red Fungal Spots—this was the effect of the ”Tyrant” Gene Serum secretly developed by the Li Family, whose genetic source was the Symbiotic Fungus found on the Red Giant, UMA 1101.

”The Tyrant was successfully developed?!” Zhao Hongyong’s pupils contracted sharply. He scrambled to hide behind an ancient tree. ”Are you fucking crazy? That stuff burns out the nervous system!”

But Li Dan was incapable of hearing anything at the moment.

His muscles swelled at a visible rate, and every blood vessel writhed beneath his skin like Crimson earthworms.

Using his remaining right hand, he single-handedly controlled the rifle, the muzzle’s fiery tongue accurately picking off every exposed Yang Family soldier.

”Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Three shots rang out, and the heads of three Yang Family soldiers burst simultaneously.

Li Dan’s Dynamic Vision allowed him to clearly track the trajectory of every bullet and even anticipate the enemy’s evasive movements!

”Cover! Take cover!” Zhao Hongyong roared into the Communicator. In his Minotaur form, he suddenly seemed so insignificant.

In the blink of an eye, the Yang Family team was reduced to only ten remaining soldiers putting up a desperate fight.

”Click.” Li Dan’s rifle finally emptied its Magazine.

In this brief interval, Zhao Hongyong suddenly charged out from behind the tree, his bull horns pointed directly at Li Dan’s chest!

In the nick of time, Li Dan dodged sideways with astonishing speed, simultaneously swinging the Rifle Butt and smashing it hard into the Minotaur’s temple!

”Crack!” The sound of a skull shattering was clearly audible.

Zhao Hongyong staggered backward, his bull nose snorting heavily, spraying bloody foam.

He stared in disbelief at the Crimson monster before him—this reaction speed was simply impossible for a human!

Terror filled Zhao Hongyong’s heart, and his pupils, in his Minotaur form, contracted violently.

The power of the Red Giant’s Symbiotic Fungus far exceeded imagination; it was not something Ordinary Animal Genes could contend with!

The two sides faced off in the smoke-filled jungle. Although the remaining Li Family soldiers were wounded, they clearly had the numerical advantage.

Li Dan’s Crimson eyes locked onto Zhao Hongyong. The flesh on his broken arm was visibly wriggling and regenerating.

”Where is the Taishui Salamander?!” Li Dan’s voice was hoarse like a beast, and every step he took left a scorching footprint on the ground.

Zhao Hongyong spat out a mouthful of bloody foam, his bull horns gleaming coldly under the moonlight. ”Heh, asking me?”

He hadn’t taken it, so how would he know? He secretly pressed the Emergency Distress Button on his Communicator.

Just in case, he had specifically hired the ’Jungle People’ from the Southeast Federation to help!

However, only static noise came from the other end of the Communicator.

Zhao Hongyong called several times but received no response, finally cursing in anger, ”What the hell are these damned monkeys doing!”

Just then, a series of shrill screams suddenly came from deep within the jungle, mixed with sporadic gunshots.

”Monster! An Invisible Monster!”

”Don’t come near!”

The sound traveled from far away to nearby, as if something was quickly harvesting lives!
