Chapter 759: 546 Chapter 759: 546 How could I let you get away with it?!

Like the ancient ones, Miguel also has wings and the ability to fly, but they didn’t degrade like the ancients did due to a comfortable environment. The most difficult thing about catching Miguel is that he can fly, which is an experience that many players have come to understand through blood and tears. After all, apart from a few players, the majority cannot fly. So when facing a flying Miguel, they would naturally be at a disadvantage at first.

Of course, Duanmu Huai did not want to duel with Miguel in mid-air. So the moment he saw Miguel attempt to flee, he roared in fury and lunged at him, his hand reaching out to tightly grab Miguel’s desperately flapping wings, and then he pulled hard!

“———–!!!!!!”

An eerie, terrifying, and mournful scream emanated from Miguel’s mouth as he was thrown out the window and fell to the ground. Duanmu Huai, however, showed no signs of letting Miguel go. He lifted his fist high and struck down hard!

“Thunk!!”

His fist, as hard as steel, passed directly through Miguel’s thick biological armor and deep into his body. Then, Duanmu Huai pulled hard outward, much like peeling a shrimp, and directly pulled out the nerve line on Miguel’s back!!

“—–! —–!!!!!!”

Perhaps, as an alien creature, Miguel had never encountered such treatment. At this moment, the screams coming from his mouth were completely distorted, even causing a large flock of birds in the forest to become alarmed and take flight. However, Duanmu Huai showed no signs of caring as he punched down again, shattering Miguel’s mouthpiece into pieces. Miguel then collapsed on the ground, showing no further reactions.

“Good! Success!”

Upon seeing this, Duanmu Huai sighed in relief.

If it was just a matter of killing him, it would be simple. Although Miguel is an alien creature, it is more fitting to say he is a fungal organism. Hm?

Seems a bit like a certain green-skin?

… Put that aside for now.

Anyway, if you just kill Miguel, his body will eventually decompose. But as long as he is alive, he will not decompose.

In the game, players also went to great lengths to capture Miguel for a simple reason. Unlike subspace creatures like Cthulhu, who are sealed off, and Void Ghosts, Miguel’s forces are currently within the Solar System. Although it is uncertain whether a battle between humans and Miguel is inevitable, the more we know about the alien species, the better. If players could summon fleets, they would surely eradicate Miguel completely.

Unfortunately, in this world, players do not possess the power to summon fleets. Considering from this perspective, it becomes imperative to increase this world’s understanding and knowledge of Miguel’s race.

Players later discovered that if you remove Miguel’s nerve center from his back, much like peeling shrimp, you can immobilize him while keeping him alive. If you can sell a living Miguel to the Foundation, you can earn a lot of points. After all, as an alien creature, Miguel himself is relatively low-risk, so even if he were handed over, it wouldn’t pose too significant a risk.

Of course, this risk is only relatively low.

After all, these alien hybrids worship Shabu Nicolas and Nyarlathotep. Just by hearing these two names, you can guess how troublesome these aliens could be.

The Baskerville family’s ancestor was probably targeted by Miguel due to this. At the beginning of it all, Miguel might have merely wanted to utilize the Baskerville ancestor’s power to help him collect some things, but he didn’t expect the ancestor to grow suspicious and eventually discover the true nature of Miguel.

Of course, during that time, the ancestor might have simply seen Miguel, in his alien form, as a demon. But unfortunately, demons and aliens are ultimately not the same.

After that, the ancestor was defeated by Miguel and transformed into a werewolf-like monster. As for why he would attack his descendants from the Baskerville family, was it to conceal a secret? After all, if all the members of the Baskerville family died, then Miguel’s secret wouldn’t be exposed.

The Miguel race, who worship Shabu Nicolas, possesses very advanced biological adaptation technologies. So, it’s not surprising that they were able to do this.

Only after dealing with the two Miguels did Duanmu Huai return to the house in front of him.

As mentioned previously, this secluded manor located in the deep mountains resembles a farm. From the outside, there’s nothing particularly remarkable about it. However, Duanmu Huai quickly discovered a secret chamber in the basement below the farm, where he found some peculiar items.

“Research station, huh? It doesn’t seem very valuable,”

Looking at the machinery in front of him, made of metal without any semblance of science fiction, and more like a distorted elementary school student’s craft project, Duanmu Huai conveyed a sense of disdain. He would have preferred finding a Miguel mining station where the fine ores are much more valuable. After all, alien technology is far from human civilization and mostly useless. Even if the Foundation recovered it, it would seem novel and exciting but ultimately impractical.

After all, humans do not have mosquito-like wings or cockroach-like legs.

Well, it’s better than nothing.

Using a phone from the farm, Duanmu Huai contacted the Foundation.
