"The elder would surely berate us for our incompetence, and absolutely wouldn't harass the ancient gods because of it."
Salbopol's eyes narrowed, and he said irritably, "Then let's launch a full-scale attack and eliminate everyone who carries Wu Wang's aura!"
Shark Warrior helplessly slapped his forehead and said, "Then we're back to square one. With such a large operation, we'll inevitably clash with the strong hunters from the Hunter Association."
"Clash, and then wipe them out too!" Salbopol no longer wanted to think and said brazenly.
Shark Warrior spread his hands and said, "Then... so be it."
After all, Salbopol was the boss, and he couldn't veto Salbopol's decision. Moreover, according to the readings on the water-divining plate, there should only be three middle-sequence level demon hunters from the Hunter Association, which shouldn't be enough to interfere with them.
Thus, under Salbopol's command, hundreds of sea monsters, with strength ranging from a minimum of Disaster level to a maximum of Disaster middle-sequence, spread out like a tide.
They simultaneously attacked every point of concern. As long as one point discovered the target, their mission would be considered complete.
As Shark Warrior had worried, such a large-scale operation would indeed attract the attention of the Hunter Association. Hence, the battle between the sea monsters and the demon hunters erupted without any warning.
...
A steamroller barreled through the city with a roaring momentum, crushing anything alive it saw without mercy.
Inside the vehicle sat a driver with bulging veins and a frantic expression.
Suddenly, he saw a man and a woman standing by the roadside. The woman was squatting on the ground, seemingly studying something.
The woman was incredibly beautiful. Such a beautiful woman... being crushed by a steamroller would surely be just as beautiful!
Thus, the steamroller drove towards them without hesitation.
The tall man standing behind the woman in green shook his head helplessly, then extended his right hand and blocked the steamroller directly in front of him. The heavy steamroller was stopped by his single hand, unable to move an inch!
The woman flicked a finger, and a green butterfly quietly flew into the driver's cabin and landed on the host's shoulder.
Subsequently, the host's body began to rot, transforming from a person directly into something that was difficult to look at.
"Every time I see your attack, I feel a chill down my spine,"
Beast, a Hunter, said with emotion as he exerted force with his arm, pushing the steamroller far away.
Butterflies were always beautiful, but the butterflies controlled by Kong Die were not only beautiful but also terrifying!
When the green butterflies flew, they released green phosphorescent powder. Touching this powder on the skin would cause widespread ulceration and softening.
These beautiful butterflies might be more worthy of the title "worms of death."
"You say that every time, yet I've never seen you truly scared." Kong Die rolled her eyes and said, "Never mind that for now. I can feel that I'm close to finding the lair of those worms."
Even Wen Wen, an amateur, could detect the threat of these worms. Kong Die, as an expert in insect-type monsters, understood everything upon capturing the first live centipede.
These worms were merely artificially stimulated larvae, and a more powerful mother organism was controlling them. Without the mother organism, the threat of these worms would be significantly reduced.
Moreover, the mother organism might spawn again at any time, so it had to be eliminated quickly, otherwise, there could be big trouble.
Therefore, she called upon Beast, with whom she had collaborated many times, to deal with the worm's lair together.
Now, as she followed the traces, she had pinpointed the location of the worm's lair and was about to charge in with Beast when she suddenly stopped, her expression grave.
Because a merman suddenly emerged from the sewer in front of them!
Not just one, the sewer suddenly collapsed, and mermen and all sorts of bizarre-looking sea creatures began to emerge.
Upon seeing Kong Die and the other, a merman lunged at them with bared teeth and claws.
Before they were deployed, Salbopol had given orders to kill anyone who obstructed them. Thus, this merman had unleashed its true nature.
However, halfway through its charge, its body began to rot, and it became unrecognizable before it could even reach the two of them.
"Is this the submerged army the Hidden Sting mentioned, hidden in the city and preparing to slaughter the city?"
Previously, Kong Die and Beast had doubted this statement. But seeing the number of these creatures and their aggressive posture to attack without a word, the statement was likely true!
Furthermore, beneath this pit, there were at least two creatures with Disaster middle-sequence aura, and several with Disaster lower-sequence.
With just the two of them, they might not be able to stop this wave of mermen!
"You hold them off for a while, I'll call for backup!"
Beast nodded and charged towards the mermen without hesitation. With a wave of his hand, he sent a squawking crab monster flying, buying Kong Die time.
Kong Die, meanwhile, opened her Hunter terminal and explained the situation to the Hidden Sting.
She first stated the location where she suspected the centipede's lair to be and then detailed the threat that those worms might pose, emphasizing the need for at least one middle-sequence Hunter to eliminate the source of danger.
On the other hand, she reported that they themselves were being attacked by mermen. With just the two of them, they couldn't hold them back, so other Hunters were needed for support, preferably the Hidden Sting himself!
"Understood, I'll make the arrangements."
After Hidden Sting cut off the communication, Kong Die felt relieved. She spread her arms, and the gauze clothing on her body billowed with an invisible airflow, resembling a pair of magnificent butterfly wings.
Then, dozens of green butterflies flew out, weaving through the entire battlefield and causing heavy casualties in an instant.
She herself was like a spirit among these butterflies, dancing lightly under the pincer attack of numerous monsters.
And she brought even more terrifying attacks than those small butterflies!
...
At this moment, Wen Wen and Chu Wei, who had just emerged from underground, also encountered an attack from mermen.
The manhole cover of the sewer ahead was pushed open, and three monstrous Disaster level creatures with grotesque appearances rushed out, putting on a ferocious display in front of Wen Wen and the other, as if intending to scare them to death.
But now, Wen Wen only found it somewhat amusing because the style of these three monsters didn't quite fit the scene...
They were a bright red, plump starfish monster, a yellow, spongy monster, and a blue octopus-person monster.
Wen Wen fell silent for a moment and asked, "Um, have you guys watched an anime?"
"Foolish humans, you don't run away when you see us. Are you looking for death?" the yellow sponge monster said arrogantly, pointing at Wen Wen and the other.
The plump starfish monster also responded foolishly, wanting to tear the two of them to shreds.
Only the octopus monster noticed their strength and was so frightened that it couldn't speak...
