My Monster Fuses Everything

Chapter 238 Dealing with the Tree Domain

zhao yaqian had summoned the shadow armor tyrant, and a lower tier of the third order shadow devouring demon was ready to be summoned at any moment.

she watched the fallen creatures in front of her with vigilance, their hideous faces showing ferocious smiles as they slowly emerged, surrounding and protecting their leader in the middle.

there were more than thirty fallen creatures, over half of them of the second order in strength, and their leader was even more formidable, a second-order superior.

such a group of fallen creatures, if they were to scheme from the shadows, posed an unimaginably great threat.

"you renounce your humanity and then turn around to seek cooperation with humans. don't you find that laughable?"

li ruikang's gaze was sharp as he stared down the leading monster, his face as calm as still water.

"there is no right or wrong in choosing to evolve."

qin liting's eyes flashed red, unabashedly revealing his hideous visage as he sneered, "besides angels envoy, do you think humans' frail bodies can live for long?"

without enhancement drugs, relying solely on the strength regurgitated by angels envoy, humans could indeed master spiritual energy, but their overall strength was significantly lower.

even now, with enhancement drugs available, should one's enhancement be insufficient, their talent poor, and their conversion rate inadequate, they would still be at a disadvantage.

this was indeed different from how the fallen creatures gained monstrous strength in exchange for mutation and corruption.

nevertheless, li ruikang simply looked up slightly and stated, "like you're suggesting? state your purpose; we don't have time to waste with you."

to be born human, forsake one's humanity, and regard one's own kind as less than animals—truly despicable.

"survival is paramount, just as you all believe, hehe."

qin liting's throat, covered in tumor-like protrusions, pulsated as he produced a raspy, unpleasant voice, "just like tree domain camp. if they keep expanding, your end is inevitable. survive first, then think about other things, right, mr. li, the government official?"

li ruikang remained calm, speaking indifferently, "you fled from the north, didn't you?"

that mention of 'fled' spoke volumes of the plight of qin liting and his fellow fallen, casting them in a fierce, glowering light as they stared at li ruikang.

"just cooperate with us to open the rift into the other space, and once infused with spiritual energy, defeating the tree domain will be a simple task. if you too seek power, we can assist you."

qin liting's calculations were clear for all to hear.

but he was fearless, convinced that south city camp would inevitably align with them, even holding them in disdain for not exploiting the wealth at their disposal.

slowly researching technology and evolving was simply too wasteful.

with so many people in the entire camp, if all were to be enticed to gain stronger spiritual energy, the fallen creatures would have already greatly expanded.

"that's quite the idea."

li ruikang's detached voice came through as qin liting showed an ugly smile, "if you agree, considering your relationship with tree domain, ambushing su han isn't out of the question. by then, the north and south of the city are yours, and the east and west districts will be our territory. how about it?"

"so, you still have people in the east district?"

li ruikang lifted his gaze, eyeing the fallen creature before him, his attitude still unguessable.

qin liting huffed, "there's a group of violent fools who don't use their brains, but they can be useful."

zhao yaqian, hearing li ruikang's exchange, felt a surge of urgency, saying coldly, "conspiring with tigers for their skins, who knows what you're really up to."

although not comparable to su han's angel envoys, zhao yaqian's third order strength was still enough to wreak havoc amidst these monstrous fallen ones.

as half were lost, a significant number of fallen ones panicked and fled into the depths of the flower and bird market. suddenly, a monstrous roar sounded, and hundreds more creatures emerged from the shadows, with second orders not being few in number.

li ruikang's brow furrowed; these people dared to meet at this flower and bird market, surely they were prepared, but he hadn't expected a horde of creatures.

seeing the creatures attack, zhao yaqian's expression darkened, "tighten formation, protect yourselves."

she wasn't without ability to fight back, but with the sheer number against them, any slip could result in casualties on their side.

the team quickly grouped, zhao yaqian unable to attend to the whereabouts of the fallen ones, focusing on the released creatures.

for a good ten minutes, the creatures were finally wiped out, with the fallen ones having disappeared from the scene, having fled the area.

stay tuned for updates on empire

li ruikang, having fought as well and also not lightly exhausted, spoke solemnly, "yaqian, we must return immediately, they might have other setups at the camp."

zhao yaqian's face slightly changed, "i will return at once."

the team sped back, no further ambush from the fallen ones, but upon arrival at the tree domain camp, the streets were a mess.

monster corpses, scattered flesh and blood, the ground littered with shell casings, crossbow arrows, near the defensive lines the ground was pockmarked, several large pits causing a web of cracks on the surface.

just as zhao yaqian and the others stopped, guo wutao and yan tiejun were already approaching quickly.

"those guys really led us away from the mountain, and they even had a third order monster that must have consumed its own angel envoys."

guo wutao looked grave, asking, "is everything alright on your end?"

"it was a meeting prepared for contingencies. some details can be discussed later. what are our losses?"

"dozens attacked, including one third order and about ten second order ones. we lost seven people, more than twenty were injured, and it took over thirty spiritual energy cannons to drive off that third order one."

guo wutao's face showed pain, the thirty-plus spiritual energy cannons were all mined spiritual energy.

those thirty-odd cannons nearly depleted their reserves, but thankfully, chemical bombs were mixed with the explosives, otherwise, their foundations would have been emptied.

however, due to their defensive depth strategy and accurate cannon coverage, coupled with the creature's clear concern for a swift victory to capture the spatial rift, they successfully repelled the attack.

li ruikang nodded, "it's good we stopped them, at least they didn't succeed. prepare a messenger, and inform su han at the tree domain camp about the fallen ones. there's also a group of fallen ones gathering to the east of the city, which is not a good sign. and for us, prioritize defense for the next couple of days, as i fear they may still cause trouble."

guo wutao nodded, "i will make the arrangements."

due to the actions of the fallen ones, south city camp had to temporarily slow down their expansion to switch to a defensive stance to ensure no serious problems arose.

with zhao yaqian staying to guard the camp and the remaining chemical bombs, the defense was temporarily secure.

once they accumulated enough spiritual energy ore to manufacture new spiritual energy cannons, they could restart their expansion.

however, with all these delays, they were likely to fall further behind the tree domain camp.

while south city camp was reorganizing, two groups of the defeated fallen ones rapidly fled the southern district, all the way to huihe bridge, where they met.

"where's qin liting, where did that bastard roll off to?"
