Wen Wen’s lips curved into a slight smile. When lighting the fuse, his hand trembled slightly, reminiscent of the feeling before he’d blow up bottles with firecrackers as a child.
Discovering the prey had returned to its belly, the massive fleshy creature began attacking Wen Wen again, determined to devour him.
Compared to the other prey outside, Wen Wen was far more appealing.
While other corrupted monsters could only satisfy hunger, normal superhumans like Wen Wen were a feast.
Wen Wen didn’t rush back to the containment facility. Instead, he wielded his dagger to protect the fuse of the explosives.
Without this, the explosives might not have detonated properly.
Seeing the fuse had less than a centimeter remaining, Wen Wen tossed it into the air and ducked into the containment facility.
BOOM!
The massive explosive pack detonated, unleashing wild heat and force that swept through everything in the stomach cavity.
The giant fleshy creature, still undulating leisurely outside, suddenly expanded several times its original size. An orange glow flickered beneath its flesh, as if it were about to shatter into a pile of rotten meat at any moment.
But just then, several circular vents appeared on the creature’s body, spewing out hot black smoke laced with sparks.
The fleshy monster quickly returned to its original size. It had managed to minimize the explosives’ destructive power through this method.
The creature’s adaptability to various extreme environments was simply monstrous.
Yet, even so, the fleshy monster sustained massive damage. The sheer power of the internal explosion would have killed any ordinary disaster-level monster.
Countless small, fleshy legs sprouted from beneath the creature, quickly moving towards another villa.
It needed to devour more to prevent its body from collapsing; the injury sustained just now was too severe.
The monster in the other villa roared at the fleshy creature, warning it not to advance further.
But this time, the fleshy monster didn’t even bother to test the waters. It transformed into a pool of flesh and completely enveloped the villa.
It could digest not only the creatures inside but also the glass bricks and stone of the villa, as well as the green substance covering its exterior, using them to repair itself.
The severe injury had made it even more ferocious, and nearby monsters all suffered the consequences.
...
A few minutes after the explosion, Wen Wen, covered in a layer of frost, emerged from the containment facility again. He looked at the environment within the creature and shook his head in disappointment.
“Hmm, the temperature here isn’t as high as I expected. It’s terrifying that this thing could withstand the explosion of so many explosives inside it, but it’s okay, I’ve already weakened it.”
Wen Wen took a deep breath, rolled up the sleeves of his containment officer uniform to his shoulders, revealing his black gloves, and placed them on the ground.
The ground instantly became a gaping maw, attempting to swallow Wen Wen.
But Wen Wen shoved his right hand into it instead!
Black chains extended from Wen Wen’s palm, the back of his hand, and various parts of his arm, piercing through the creature’s flesh and spreading across the entire ground!
Then, he began to absorb the energy within the fleshy monster.
Given its enormous size, its energy far surpassed that of the smaller monsters.
A colossal amount of energy surged into the Disaster Gauntlet, causing the golden dust on Wen Wen’s left hand to begin solidifying.
After its energy was absorbed, the fleshy monster’s entire body trembled as if it had been hollowed out.
But it wouldn’t allow Wen Wen to drain its precious energy. A thick, fleshy hammer covered in sharp barbs appeared above Wen Wen’s head and smashed down.
But Wen Wen extended his left hand upwards, and the same black chains unfurled, blocking the fleshy hammer!
The black chains on his left hand were fewer than those on his right, but they formed a perfect circle, firmly protecting Wen Wen.
Now, relying solely on the chains on both hands, Wen Wen was on par with ordinary superhumans, even without using any monster abilities.
Because the fleshy monster was so massive, and it was constantly resisting, the chains couldn’t fully encase it, so the energy absorption wasn’t fast. However, with any other monster, Wen Wen would have likely drained them dry by now.
Unable to do anything to Wen Wen, and to avoid being completely drained, the fleshy monster could only accelerate towards other villas, attacking other monsters to counteract Wen Wen’s absorption.
But as more energy was integrated, Wen Wen’s absorption efficiency increased. Gradually, the fleshy monster’s attack efficiency couldn’t keep up with Wen Wen’s absorption rate.
However, at this moment, Wen Wen’s absorption speed suddenly stopped.
Of course, it wasn’t that Wen Wen couldn’t absorb anymore, but he wanted to let the monster recover for a while.
Killing it just like that would be such a waste!
It would be much better to let it absorb other monsters, and then Wen Wen could absorb it, treating it as a mobile power bank. How wonderful would that be?
Sensing Wen Wen’s cessation of absorption, the fleshy monster rejoiced and quickly increased its pace in capturing smaller monsters to replenish its losses.
Once it had recovered slightly and gained a modicum of resistance, Wen Wen would resume absorbing the creature’s energy.
This back and forth continued, and the golden ring and wristband on Wen Wen’s left hand began to take shape! Soudu Novel Network
“Hehehe, even though they’ve taken shape, they can’t just listen. Where else can I find such a good power bank? I can’t ruin it easily. Speaking of which, finding the source like this is much more efficient than me searching one place after another.”
Naturally, good times don’t last. The fleshy monster’s rampage in the corrupted area drew the attention of Lin Zhe Yuan and the others outside.
The situation within the corrupted residential area was generally undetectable from the outside due to the green mist. However, the fleshy monster was simply too large and extremely active, constantly destroying new villas, so Lin Zhe Yuan eventually discovered it.
Lin Zhe Yuan gazed at the fleshy monster, his expression gradually turning solemn. He then spoke to Bing He via the walkie-talkie.
“Bing He, do you see that thing? I think it’s very bad.”
On the other side, at the edge of the corrupted residential area, Bing He sat on an ice disc floating in mid-air.
“Of course, I see it. How could I not see something so obvious? However, that thing can also help us rule out some suspicious areas, and it’s also eliminating our enemies.”
Lin Zhe Yuan frowned. He didn’t want to rely on such things for convenience. “So, you’re saying it should continue to act on its own?”
“That’s not it.”
Bing He shook his head and said, “That was earlier. Now that this thing has absorbed so many monsters, even if I can’t sense it, its current strength might be terrifying. Not only will those monsters suffer, but the demon hunters we sent in won’t be able to withstand its attacks either.”
“Most importantly, that thing is likely the source of the corruption, so we must find a way to get rid of it!”
Lin Zhe Yuan said with a dejected expression, “Get rid of it, how? Neither of us can make a move, and Uncle Gong is entangled by something inside, I don’t know what…”
Bing He smiled confidently and then said coldly to Lin Zhe Yuan, “How should I know how? This is your territory. Use all your hidden cards, don’t be so indecisive like a man. If you can’t handle that thing, then call Xin Yi to remarry me.”
Veins bulged on Lin Zhe Yuan’s forehead, and he roared at Bing He, “Qian Xiao Xiang, you bastard…”
On the other end, Bing He had already turned off the walkie-talkie, unable to hear Lin Zhe Yuan’s words.
