“Old Gan, prepare to run.”
Zhu Xiong whispered into Gan Xinglei’s ear.
They had only wanted to scout the situation, but they had stumbled upon a huge minefield. The value of the information goes without saying, but now it was time to make their escape.
Gan Xinglei’s expression turned grave as he nodded. Although they had ten Second Order warriors and the advantage was theirs,
facing the patrolling and searching teams would mean confronting thousands of Gray Inferior Demons, which could easily lead to heavy losses.
“Go!”
At Zhu Xiong’s command, the Glutton charged towards two monstrous creatures covered in tumors.
They were over four meters tall, with purple tumors covering their bodies and huge, gaping maws dripping with corrosive saliva.
The Glutton sent one flying with a punch, then blocked the other with its hammer-like right arm.
“Kill them!”
The battle erupted in an instant. Four Fallen charged forward, and their Angel Envoys joined them, aiming to attack the entire team.
The Centipede-mouthed Blood Toad, with its crimson bulk, pounced on a Second-grade Monster, rolling into the throng of Gray Inferior Demons with the gigantic creature, crushing many of them.
The monster fought fiercely, its huge claws reaching for the Centipede-mouthed Blood Toad’s body, embedding deep into its shell as blood flowed.
But the Centipede-mouthed Blood Toad ignored such wounds. Opening its massive mouth, countless centipede-like poisonous tendrils extended, and a vast cloud of poison engulfed everything nearby.
The Gray Inferior Demons that had been about to join the attack were now immediately corroded by the poison as they got close.
Already ghastly to behold, the sight of their flesh and bones dissolving was even more terrifying.
Poison, flesh, and bones—all mixed into a pale green viscous fluid, filling the area centered around the Centipede-mouthed Blood Toad. The half-dissolved remnants of creatures lay beneath, like a marsh of bones.
“Roar”
The Second-grade Monster directly struck by the poison fog had most of its skin and muscle dissolved, but it was still alive. It struggled to its feet, fighting the Centipede-mouthed Blood Toad fiercely.
But no matter how hard it fought, it couldn’t surpass the Centipede-mouthed Blood Toad and was repeatedly knocked down.
Apart from the Centipede-mouthed Blood Toad, the remaining three Familiars each erupted into fierce combat with a Second-grade Monster.@@@@
Each fought differently, as intense as a dragon fighting a tiger. Soon, they were all marked with wounds of various sizes.
Suddenly, five were entangled, and the remaining three wanted to attack the Tree Domain warriors, but Zhu Xiong had already jumped down, and the Bone Armor Giant Pig charged out like a rocket.
Its sharp tusks penetrated one of the Second-grade Monsters. It roared with its head raised, covered in bone armor, dominating in presence.
The Cyclopean Beast and Tree Armor Tyrant followed closely behind, each confronting another monster. They faced off in groups of three, but the difference in strength was clear.
The Cyclopean Beast’s crimson eye burst with light, and it unleashed a Mental Shock. The opposing monster was immediately dazed.
The Tree Armor Tyrant violently closed in, its vines binding one of the Second-grade Monsters. The Bone Armor Giant Pig then brutally tore its head apart.
“Ah!”
The Fallen named Zheng Chong let out a painful roar as his jet-black eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: “Kill! I’ll kill you all!”
The Angel Envoys remained linked to their Contractors, and death would still severely wound the Contractor, but as Fallen, they were already half-monster and had greatly enhanced durability.
He tore off his ragged covering, exposing his pitch-black, hideous body, where thick tentacles writhed. He charged towards Zhu Xiong with large strides.
Zhu Xiong’s face wore a cold expression, who was afraid of a fight?
Power Burst
Bone Armor
However, the next moment, the sky suddenly darkened.
He looked up sharply to see a massive creature appearing in the sky, exuding a terrifying aura.
Run!
Li Zhiming didn’t care about anything else anymore and started to flee at full speed, not looking back, with the ragged cloak slipping off due to his haste, revealing a body covered in tumors.
Zheng Jiangwu, Zheng Chong, and Gong Shou also frantically fled, not caring about the attacks from Zhu Xiong and the others, their bodies riddled with numerous wounds.
Their contracted beasts were also desperately gaining distance, heading toward the Third Hospital.
The overwhelming aura deterred any thoughts of resistance, as they recognized the newcomer.
Su Han watched the figures escaping through the Gray Inferior Demon horde, his eyes focusing with a cold chuckle.
Beneath him, the Blood-winged Alligator Dragon had already opened its gaping maw, with dark water condensing inside.
“Boom”
A massive black water column was launched, emitting a deafening roar.
The black water cannon tore through the entire street, and the Gray Inferior Demons in front of it were directly shredded.
The Contracted Beasts preparing to escape were hit head-on by the black water cannon, their limbs burst apart, and they died on the spot.
The four fallen shouted out in pain, weakened by the mental assault, their spirits immediately flagging.
The Blood-winged Alligator Dragon dived down, its massive claws pinning them beneath its body.
“Need to research?”
Su Han looked toward Bai Qilan, who was also on the Blood-winged Alligator Dragon.
“We could take a look, though the likelihood of new discoveries isn’t high.”
Though they were special contractors who had corrupted and mutated into monsters, they were quite different from regular monsters.
However, in the materials sent by Bai Qiuwen and his team, the reason had already been clearly explained, so new findings weren’t assured.
“It’s worth a try.”
Su Han held back from dealing the killing blow, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding Gray Inferior Demons, which seemed to sense the terror of the Blood-winged Alligator Dragon and were now retreating toward the Third Hospital.
“Old Zhu and the others are here.”
With the arrival of the Blood-winged Alligator Dragon, the already advantageous situation instantly turned into an overwhelming one.
Su Han and Bai Qilan jumped down from the Blood-winged Alligator Dragon, which now was surrounded by black water. The Evil Crocodile Prison had already ensnared the four fallen and the remaining three Second-grade Monsters.
One unfortunate soul had lost both Contractors and lay in a coma; upon waking, if he wasn’t dead or turned into an idiot, his condition wouldn’t be much better.
Su Han’s Metal Control activated, twisting rebars and scrap cars from the ruins into thick metal cases that trapped the few monsters, morphing to almost perfectly fit their forms and leaving only small holes for air.
Seven giant metal coffins stood on the ground, and only then did the black water slowly recede.
“Su Han, the spatial rift should be at the Third Hospital.”
Zhu Xiong explained the situation to Su Han, who slightly nodded and said, “Let’s head over.”
The Blood-winged Alligator Dragon took the lead, followed by the Mother Nest Ancient Tree in Treant Form and the Scorpion Spider Demon in great strides. Behind these three Angel Envoys came Su Han’s Tree Domain soldiers, including the Sky Cavalry Squad in the air.
A few hundred meters was not a great distance, and without monsters to block them, they arrived in just a minute or two.
Within the ruins of the Third Hospital, countless Gray Inferior Demons had gathered, far exceeding the number from before.
It seemed that during the recent battle, even more Gray Inferior Demons had surged out of the rift.
Su Han’s eyes fell upon the old hospital building. With a thought, the three Angel Envoys moved to the forefront.
Orders were conveyed to them: Smash it.
