Is this what a zombie is?

26. There's a strange smell.

"Snapped!"

The lightning-fast whip sliced ​​through the air with a crisp crack, striking the corridor wall hard and leaving a charred welt instantly.

The long whip is extremely powerful and has a very wide attack range; this is the principle of "the longer the whip, the stronger it is."

After realizing the power of the whip, the giant cat taught Jiang Chen a lesson about what it meant to be "beyond the reach of the whip."

Instead of retreating, it advanced, and its body shrank dramatically again in mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, it shrank from the size of a leopard cat to a kitten only half the size of a palm.

The reduction in size resulted in a dramatic increase in agility and speed.

Its speed far surpasses the lightning whip's swaying and changing direction, thus perfectly avoiding the whip's strikes.

At this moment, length has become a burden, and everything Jiang Chen is doing has become futile.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of cold light appeared, and Jiang Chen felt a sharp pain in his cheek and shoulder at the same time.

He didn't even see the other person's movements clearly; his eyes only saw a blur of motion as it came towards him.

The brain hasn't processed the information, and the body hasn't reacted in time before it's attacked.

Only when the grappling hook left several wounds on his face and shoulders did he belatedly realize that he had been attacked.

There was no gushing blood, only a few drops of dark red liquid seeping from the wound.

The giant cat sacrificed its size advantage for agility and speed, but in doing so, it lost its strength and thus its lethality.

It's also possible that Jiang Chen's sneak attack punch severely injured him, and he hasn't recovered yet.

Having landed a successful blow, the giant cat in kitten form landed on the wall in the distance.

It extended its barbed tongue and slowly licked the dark red blood from its claws.

Tasting the blood of its prey and enjoying the helpless and desperate expression on its face is a part of its favorite activity.

An essential part to experience!

But today's blood is a little different.

There's a strange smell to it, like the food has been sitting out for too long, gone bad, or expired.

"Pooh!"

The giant cat spat out the blood, its face showing human-like disgust.

"Why does your blood have a strange smell, like... a corpse's?"

The giant cat was right, but Jiang Chen didn't like hearing it, so he didn't reply.

The ensuing battle turned into a cat-and-mouse game.

Using its extreme speed advantage, the giant cat bounced back and forth along the corridor walls and ceiling, its speed as fast as an unpredictable gray lightning bolt, constantly launching harassing attacks.

After landing a successful attack, he immediately fled far away, avoiding a direct confrontation with Jiang Chen.

After several rounds, Jiang Chen had accumulated many wounds. Although they weren't fatal, they were still quite painful, and his face was scratched all over.

Both sides were in an awkward situation. The giant cat lacked the ability to kill with a single blow, while Jiang Chen's attacks kept missing, achieving nothing.

Therefore, the giant cat's tactic was to stall and wear Jiang Chen down.

Jiang Chen's electrical energy is limited and cannot be consumed continuously for a long time.

But the giant cat, judging from its posture, clearly could spend the whole night with me, and it didn't seem to mind doing so.

If this continues, he is bound to lose!

"Although I'm not very skilled yet, I have no choice but to give it a shot."

Jiang Chen made a snap decision, removed the long whip from his hand, and then did something that greatly surprised the giant cat.

He closed his eyes; was he choosing to close them and await death?

Waiting to die? Of course not.

If Jiang Chen really would choose to wait for death, then he wouldn't have risked coming to prison; having a criminal record is not something to be proud of.

At this moment, Jiang Chen concentrated his electrical energy on his body surface, using the electric markings on his body to release a special electromagnetic force, expanding his own magnetic field.

Simply put, he transformed himself into a human radar.

Every subtle movement of the air, the gray aura emanating from the giant cat…

Everything that enters his electromagnetic field will leave a clear ripple.

The giant cat couldn't understand what Jiang Chen was doing. It circled Jiang Chen twice to observe him carefully, while Jiang Chen kept his eyes tightly closed and remained motionless like a statue.

Jiang Chen had plenty of patience, but the giant cat didn't.

It was already its limit to patiently circle around twice, after all, it had just been ambushed by Jiang Chen not long ago, and that punch still made it feel pain all over its body, leaving it with psychological trauma.

coming!

The electromagnetic field captured a figure, a perfectly clear trajectory.

It pounced again from his blind spot, its sharp claws aimed straight for his back.

Its size changed; the giant cat adjusted its body size to that of a lynx.

Even if this size and condition cannot kill him with a single blow, it is enough to severely injure Jiang Chen.

All of this was clearly fed back into Jiang Chen's mind through the electromagnetic field, and he reacted in a very short time.

This time, Jiang Chen did not dodge.

Just as the giant cat pounced in front of him, he struck first, delivering a palm strike with pinpoint accuracy.

From a third-party perspective, it was as if the giant cat had taken the initiative to bravely rush into Jiang Chen's palm.

"Meow--"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed down the corridor.

After the screams and the bright light, the corridor fell into a temporary stalemate.

The hastily gathered palm lightning failed to completely kill the giant cat, but it severely injured it again, its entire body emitting black smoke, and one of its eyes could not be opened.

Its appearance was completely different from when it first appeared, and it looked quite disheveled.

The giant cat reverted to the size of a leopard cat, its limbs bent as it lay prone on the ground, clearly gathering its strength, preparing to unleash a fatal blow.

At this moment, the electric markings on Jiang Chen's body seemed to come alive completely, with dark blue electric light coursing wildly across his skin.

Thunder magic is incredibly powerful and unparalleled in attack, but its defense is weak, almost non-existent.

It's all about maximizing attack power; the best defense is offense! 1!

In so many anime and novel works, there are very few lightning-based characters with defensive skills.

Besides its ferocious attacks, lightning's greatest characteristic is its speed!

If you are faster and stronger than your enemy, you don't need to defend yourself at all.

If you have lightning speed, then the enemy's attacks will never be able to catch up with you.

This is...

"Movement Technique: Lightning Dragon!"

Jiang Chen transformed into a beam of light, a bolt of lightning, piercing through the giant cat before it could even launch itself.

The giant cat looked down at its own body, which was constantly disintegrating, turning into black specks of light and gray currents, gradually dissipating into the air.

After confirming that the giant cat had completely disappeared, Jiang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed in the corridor.

It's low on battery.

"Damn, how am I supposed to charge my phone now? Ai Yi, could you bring me a power bank?"
