“Look at me. Am 1 beautiful?”
The sudden appearance of the woman and the inexplicable question left Heluo and Ivy utterly bewildered.
However, when the woman slowly lifted her umbrella, revealing her true face beneath, both women’s expressions froze, and their hearts turned cold.
That woman’s face was nothing but a grotesque giant mouth! Rows of densely packed sharp white teeth intersected and twisted into a vortex shape.
The voice came from within the vortex…
“Look at me. Am 1 beautiful?”
As she spoke, the woman in red walked towards Heluo and Ivy.
“Madam Red,” Heluo suddenly spoke with a serious expression, uttering these words.
This raised Ivy’s eyebrows, “What Madam Red?”
“I mean, this monster’s name is Madam Red.”
“It originated from a widely circulated horror legend.”
“According to the legend, Madam Red wears red clothing and holds a red umbrella. Once she encounters someone, she asks this question.”
At this point, Heluo gave a wry smile, “However, there’s no correct answer to this question.”
“Whether the person she meets answers ‘beautiful’ or ‘not beautiful’, Madam Red will devour them!”
As she spoke, Heluo shuddered involuntarily.
The legend of Madam Red was basically a spellbound horror story for kids, within the Black Mist Zone. When Heluo was young, her parents had often used the story of Madam Red to scare her.
“Hey, hey, I mean Heluo, the issue isn’t about the answer… The issue is…”
Ivy pointed at Madam Red who was approaching, and said in an odd manner, “How could such a thing have a real prototype?!”
Heluo was about to say that she was not sure, but she suddenly froze.
Ivy’s words had vaguely reminded her of something.
However, before Heluo could think further, Madam Red had already come within ten meters of the two of them—a dangerously close distance.
Madam Red stopped and asked for the third time, “Look at me. Am 1 beautiful?”
Heluo and Ivy could not help but fall silent.
Because no matter how they answered, it would be wrong.
After thinking for a moment, Ivy sighed and took the initiative to stand in front of Heluo.
She faced Madam Red and said solemnly, “You’re very beautiful.”
“You’re lying!”
“How can I not know what 1 look like?!”
Ivy was speechless.
“Wait, wait, wait. I was wrong. You’re very ugly. You’re very ugly!”
Madam Red became furious. “Calling a lady ugly is very disrespectful! I need to teach you what respect is!”
Ivy resisted the urge to curse and took a deep breath.
The radiance of her Source Power Armor suddenly covered the surface of her body. Looking at Madam Red, Ivy said coldly, “Perfect, I think I also need to teach you never to ask questions without correct answers, you bastard!”
The spiritual pressure of the third level of the Spirit Realm suddenly bloomed and landed on Madam Red.
However, Madam Red seemed unaffected, as if the spiritual pressure had no effect on her.
Her entire neck extended eerily, bringing her vortex-shaped head with her, and in an instant, she had sprung in front of Ivy.
Countless fangs suddenly opened, her entire face blooming like a chrysanthemum, revealing the deep black abyss within her teeth.
As Ivy dodged to the side, she struck with a knife-hand strike, hitting Madam Red’s long neck.
However, the sensation she received from her knife-hand strike made Ivy’s expression change drastically.
This was because there was no impact from this knife-hand saber!
Madam Red’s neck was like a phantom. The knife-hand passed through it without any obstruction, as if she had struck a holographic projection.
The missed knife-hand made Ivy pause for a moment. Before Ivy could adjust her posture, Madam Red’s large mouth bit at her from another direction.
This time, Ivy could not dodge!
“Crack.”
The Body Protection Technique burst like paper, and the huge mouth bit directly onto Ivy’s shoulder.
The powerful biting force coupled with the spinning force instantly severed Ivy’s entire left arm. As blood splattered, Ivy was sent flying and landed directly next to Heluo.
She covered her wound, her face pale, and looked at Madam Red, who was gnawing on her arm.
“What on earth is this thing?”
Spirit pressure was ineffective against her.
There was no spiritual pressure on the other party.
Madam Red’s body did not seem to have a physical body, and she did not use any Source Power skills!
Madam Red’s combat style appeared bizarre, but in reality, she was like a wild beast, relying entirely on the characteristics of her body in combat.
“I don’t know what she is, but 1 know where her weakness is,” Heluo quickly spoke up from the side.
This made Ivy prick up her ears to listen, but she heard something that left her helpless.
“That’s her teeth. Or you could say her entire face.”
“That’s the only part of Madam Red that has substance. That’s very likely where her vital points are.”
In that case…
Ivy had no way to fight her…
From the brief confrontation just now, Ivy had not only confirmed the physical characteristics of Madam Red’s body, but also her attack method—which was similar to that of a wild beast, ripping and tearing.
The sharp teeth on her face were like formidable weapons.
Now that Heluo mentioned that Madam Red’s weakness was her face, Ivy immediately felt helpless.
Using her own body to smash the other party’s formidable weapons?
Wasn’t this like hitting a rock with an egg?
Just as Ivy was frowning, Madam Red suddenly turned around and looked behind her.
She raised her umbrella again, covering her cheek, and her entire demeanor changed, becoming like a gentle southern woman in the rain.
“Look at me. Am 1 beautiful?”
She asked.
Soon, a calm voice sounded from not far away.
“I didn’t see clearly. Can you let me have another look at your face?”
Then, footsteps began to sound.
The footsteps were light and slow, but powerful.
Soon, a somewhat robust figure ascended the city wall and stood before Madam Red.
“Mr. Lu Ming?”
When Heluo saw the appearance of the person, she could not help but call out.
In recent times in Archean City, Heluo had learned of Lu Ming’s name from people like Quan Chao and Huo Sheng.
She vaguely knew that Lu Ming was very strong and was actually the number one expert in Archean City, but she had never seen Lu Ming in action.
At this moment, when Mr. Lu Ming faced the strange and unpredictable Madam Red, Heluo could not help but feel uneasy.
Lu Ming turned to look at Heluo and Ivy.
When he saw Ivy’s broken arm, Lu Ming frowned and looked at Madam Red again.
“Did you do that?”
“Look at me. Am 1 beautiful?”
Madam Red did not answer Lu Ming’s question. Instead, she slowly raised her umbrella, revealing her terrifying and grotesque face beneath.
After staring at Madam Red’s face for a long time, Lu Ming shook his head.
“You’re hideous.”
There was a “Buzz!”
Madam Red Hong tossed her umbrella high into the air, and at the same time, her neck snapped back, propelling her head like a cannonball towards Lu Ming!
This scene made Ivy and Heluo both speak out simultaneously,
“Mr. Lu, please be careful!”
“Her teeth are extremely sharp, don’t take her head-on… Ah!?”
Before they could finish speaking, Ivy and Heluo were both stunned.
This was because they saw Lu Ming’s hands firmly holding Madam Red’s big mouth. His hands were like steel pincers, preventing Madam Red from closing her mouth!
A faint red light appeared on Lu Ming’s hand. This red light came into contact with Madam Red’s sharp teeth and rubbed against them, creating a series of sparks, but the red light remained resilient, showing no signs of being torn apart.
While controlling the Red Lady, Lu Ming even had the strength to turn around and look at Heluo and Ivy.
“What were you two saying just now?”
