The monsters of Ao Ye Water City had one fundamental goal: Wu Wang.
To lure the Order Upper monsters from Ao Ye Water City to them, they needed to believe Wu Wang was here.
However, Wen Wen didn't even know where the monsters were, let alone how to lure them.
After a moment of thought, Wen Wen's eyes lit up. He didn't know where the Order Upper monsters were, but the three dimwits he'd just captured did!
Thus, Wen Wen began to grin wickedly.
Since Wen Wen didn't have time to cultivate a docile monster, he needed to mislead one, making it believe it had truly discovered Wu Wang's whereabouts, and then report to their boss.
This plan's strength lay in its realism; the other side likely wouldn't be too wary.
Among the three dimwits, their intelligence, from highest to lowest, was Octopus, Sponge, and Starfish.
It was out of the question to let the Starfish execute the plan; it was too stupid, and Wen Wen worried things might spiral beyond his control.
The Octopus wouldn't work either; that guy had normal intelligence and was conscious the entire time, so he might realize he was being released as part of a trap.
Therefore, Wen Wen chose the big yellow sponge.
Before it could even react, the sponge was ensnared by Wen Wen's black hair and completely knocked unconscious. It likely hadn't understood what happened.
After briefly formulating a plan, Wen Wen's form and face began to contort, transforming into Wu Wang's likeness.
The Faceless Demon possessed the ability of a thousand forms and faces; Wen Wen could transform into anyone he had seen.
However, his current mimicry ability had solidified into "Corrupted Blood," meaning he could only imitate appearance, not abilities.
But appearance alone was enough. The sponge, standing before him, hadn't even realized that Wen Wen was actually an Order Assimilated Superhuman…
Having changed his appearance, Wen Wen placed the sponge on the street corner opposite the supermarket, left a trace of lightning energy on its navel, and then stood at the supermarket entrance, activating the rune.
A jolt of electricity flashed, and the unconscious sponge suddenly regained consciousness, standing up in a daze, somewhat confused about what had happened.
Suddenly, a loud noise echoed, and it curiously looked in that direction, only to see someone at the supermarket entrance exercising.
In front of the supermarket were large stone spheres used to block vehicles. This person, like a juggler, continuously tossed the stone spheres into the air, catching them with one hand and passing them to the other…
The sponge monster noticed the person's face and immediately grew excited. This was the Wu Wang they had been pursuing!
Its eyes darted around, and it was about to rush forward to apprehend Wu Wang.
However, judging by Wen Wen's effortless handling of the stone spheres, it seemed like rushing in would only lead to its own demise. So, it decided to inform Lord Sha Lishi, confident it would be rewarded.
As for where its companions had gone, or why it had suddenly lost consciousness and woken up here, it didn't bother to consider.
As a sponge, it lacked much brainpower; complex thinking was too difficult for it.
Sensing its departure, Wen Wen immediately dropped the stone spheres. He had to admit that even with his strength, playing with stone spheres like this was somewhat taxing.
But if he didn't play like this, that simpleton might have rushed to apprehend him instead of reporting back.
…
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a tall building, Sha Lishi and Killbo were observing the battles below from high above, as if watching a scenic view.
Beneath this building, Kong Die and Meng Shou were fighting against a vast army of undersea monsters.
Kong Die's butterflies were now struggling to achieve results. After losing nearly twenty lives, these merfolk had learned to cover their skin with energy, preventing contact with the fatal scales.
The smaller butterflies could only serve as harassment; only the scale powder released by Kong Die himself could inflict effective damage on the enemy.
As for Meng Shou, its entire body was covered in silver-white fur, resembling a gorilla. Its right arm was twice as thick as its left, adorned with two metal rings bearing complex runes. With a mere swing of its arm, it could send a sea monster flying.
Just as its codename 'Meng Shou' implied, its assimilated state was that of a powerful beast that would fight continuously and never tire!
Weaker monsters were no match for them, but the expressions of both remained grave.
The assorted sea monsters were easy to deal with, but the two Order Upper monsters observing from the rooftop put immense pressure on them.
The only reason they were still alive was that those two monsters enjoyed watching their struggle. If those two monsters got serious, this group of monsters could tear them apart at any moment.
Salubol was somewhat displeased that his subordinates had yet to capture the two humans. Sha Lishi tilted his head, and a fat red crab wearing a suit leaped from the rooftop.
A large pincer struck Meng Shou's right arm with immense force, halting its previously unstoppable attack. Meng Shou's expression drastically changed; this crab had actually overpowered it in terms of strength.
Kong Die felt a growing anxiety. If reinforcements didn't arrive soon, the two of them would be finished here.
This red crab was powerful. Although it was also an Order Assimilated monster, Meng Shou and Kong Die would likely need to team up to defeat it. Su Dan Novel Network.
However, the two exchanged a glance and knew what they had to do: stall this monster for as long as possible.
Because, they estimated, as soon as they killed this monster, the Order Assimilated monsters behind the scenes would likely be unable to resist making a move, and that was when they would truly be in danger.
…
While enjoying the view of the battle below, a devil ray monster behind Sha Lishi poked Sha Lishi with a finger and then gave him a meaningful look.
Sha Lishi understood and casually found a reason to leave the rooftop.
"What's going on?"
"Boss Sha, our people have found that Wu Wang. He's inside the Xin Wan Ke Supermarket." the devil ray said respectfully.
Sha Lishi's eyes lit up. Although Salubol was the leader of this pursuit operation, Sha Lishi wouldn't mind seizing the first merit. If he captured Wu Wang and brought him back, he would surely be rewarded by Lord En Suke!
Perhaps, he might even become a devout worshipper!
However, he wasn't blinded by the news. Instead, he summoned the sponge monster that had brought the news and inquired in detail.
After listening, Sha Lishi sensed a trap. The other party likely wanted to lure him over, and there might be a trap there.
Yet, Sha Lishi still decided to go and see. He had participated in many operations to capture Wu Wang and knew that guy had many flashy tricks.
However, Wu Wang's own strength was not great; it could even be described as weak.
Even if he had any arrangements, they might not be effective against an Order Upper expert who was already on guard.
