Chapter 8

Chu Yunsheng was not sure if the Red-shelled insect knew how to calculate the floor number or not. He doubted that it was smart enough to find out the exact location of his flat. So he believed that the last one would not come straight to him. That was why he opened the door.
The monster might be busy chasing the people, who had just run upstairs. Chu Yunsheng told himself. It should have noticed the screams made by other people, and it would probably think that they were the one, who killed its partner.
So Chu Yunsheng decided to take the risk. If the last red-shelled insect ran amok inside the building, he would not be able to predict where it might appear. It could use its corrosive secretions to jump through the wall, or jump down from the ceiling.
However, Its speed and reflex were faster than what Chu Yunsheng could imagine. When the Red-shelled insect appeared just outside his door. It noticed Chu Yunsheng straight away. Chu Yunsheng has not even pulled the trigger yet. But It just paused for a second, and then rushed towards Chu Yunsheng with a strange scream.
It was the moment between life and death. The whole thing lasted for less than a second. Chu Yunsheng instantly pulled the trigger as he realized what happened. He did not have time to check if the arrow hit the Red-shelled insect or not. He immediately used the gun, that was held but his other hand, and fired five or six shots in panic.
“Pop! Pop! Pop!” Bullets with the powerful fire element went straight into the wall, and the
the sound of the shots that missed echoed loudly. After the smoke cleared, Chu Yunsheng saw the frost arrow had activated and hit the red-shelled insect.
