Chapter 176: Chapter 169: Tier Three Fallen
The charred remnants of the Third Hospital stood erect amidst the ruins, towering like a shadowy giant, with Gray Inferior Demons growling around it, their crimson eyes fixed intently on Su Han and his group.
There were already no fewer than four to five thousand Gray Inferior Demons in the outer perimeter alone, and undoubtedly, there were even more monsters within the building floors and the underground parking garages.
Su Han had no intention of exploring bit by bit, he knew that there must be more powerful Fallen inside the building, or beings like the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon.
Otherwise, those few Fallen would not have fled like that, and these Gray Inferior Demons would not be so stationary.
The Anthropomorphic State of the Mother Nest Ancient Tree was the first to transform, its form swelling into a terrifying posture.
Three colossal bodies spanned between Su Han’s group and the Gray Inferior Demons, continuous growling coming forth, the demons sensing the danger, constantly roaring as a threat to Su Han.
However, Su Han was not swayed by the threat, since he was here to kill monsters in the first place.
Black Water Cannons condensed, Coagulation Cannons formed, and even on the vines of the Mother Nest Ancient Tree, Sound Wave Tree Fruits began to emerge.
At the same time, a massive column of light from the Black Water Cannon, spheres of blood from the Coagulation Cannon, and hundreds of Sound Wave Tree Fruits struck the building.
“Boom”
A terrifying explosion erupted, and the tall dilapidated building crumbled, slowly collapsing.
The Gray Inferior Demons also became uncontrollable in an instant, rushing toward Su Han’s side like wild horses breaking free.
Su Han simply moved his mind, and the Mother Nest Ancient Tree advanced, countless vines and roots sprouting forth, knocking down the incoming Gray Inferior Demons.
Entwining, binding, vines penetrating... The sturdy vines continuously struck down the demons, while Tree-born Worms, Vine Giant Rats, Blood-winged Tigers, and other companion beasts rushed forth like a legion.
Su Han had no intention of letting the other Apostles take action.
This was an opportunity, a chance to test the combat capabilities of the Mother Nest Ancient Tree’s legion.
Despite being in the thousands, the Gray Inferior Demons, charging like a tidal wave, couldn’t get anywhere near the main body of the Mother Nest Ancient Tree.
Blood had already stained the entire ruin red, flesh littered every corner, and vines extended into each nook.
Killing spread as the vines spread, each vine acting as a scythe harvesting the Gray Inferior Demons.
As time passed, the dust from the collapsing building gradually cleared, revealing a pale purple fissure atop the ruins.
Su Han’s eyes narrowed, thinking to himself, “Such a strong level of Spiritual Energy, no wonder South City keeps it under wraps.”
With the appearance of the fissure from another dimension, the fluctuations in Spiritual Energy grew even stronger.
“Seven meters high, four meters wide, bigger than the data given by South City.”
Alongside the massacre, the willpower generated by slaughter, brutality, and insanity would trigger the expansion of the fissure until it temporarily stabilized.
Clearly, the fissure in front of him was even larger and more terrifying than that of South City.
Masses of Gray Inferior Demons continued to pour out of the fissure, more than a dozen at a time, swarming like a school of fish.
“Splash”
Within the ruins, concrete debris was displaced as colossal creatures crawled out, with Second Order Gray Inferior Demons being revealed.
Although some had died in the collapse, there were also those that survived.
Their eyes blood red, bodies covered in wounds, they still launched an attack on the Mother Nest Ancient Tree the moment they appeared.
At that moment, a hunched giant squeezed out from the fissure, his body covered in plasma and gashes.
His muscles were knotted like rock, his back hunched with long bone spurs, with four arms—two human-like forming giant claws, and two under the ribs; one side bearing black tentacles and the other side large crab-like pincers, with a head hanging to his chest as if it were growing there.
“Lord of the Tree Domain, cease your actions!”
The vines of the Mother Nest Ancient Tree surged like mighty ocean waves, launching a fierce attack from underground and instantly entwining Xie Kui and the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon.
The long-prepared Sound Wave Tree Fruits then all emerged from the ground and landed beside them.
One hundred, five hundred, a thousand...
Over a thousand Sound Wave Tree Fruits had been accumulated during the battle, all hidden near the root system.
Su Han was not only dealing with Xie Kui, a Tier Three Fallen, but also aimed to capture all the creatures emerging from the dimensional rift in one fell swoop.
Now, with the dimensional rift stabilized and no more creatures emerging, it was time to close the net.
“Boom”
A terrifying explosion sounded, the blast wave flipping everything in the ruins.
Within a hundred meters, concrete, flooring, Gray Inferior Demons—almost everything was torn apart. The horrifying sonic boom continued to spread even further.
Black Water Shield!
Fortunately, the Blood-winged Alligator Dragon, prepared in advance, released the Black Water Shield, a huge black shield blocking in front of the Tree Domain team.
Although the sonic blast was deafening, it caused no substantial damage.
“Goodness, were you always burying bombs near the tree roots?”
Zhu Xiong, covering his ears, stared wide-eyed at Su Han. If they were working next to a pile of bombs all this time?
“Only during battle, don’t worry,” Su Han reassured, his eyes intently focused on the center of the battlefield as the Sound Wave Tree Fruits exploded.
The vines that failed to retract underground were shredded by the explosion, scattering everywhere.
But even more gruesome were the fates of the Gray Inferior Demons and Xie Kui, with flesh strewn all over the place, their mangled bodies mingled with the ruins.
Xie Kui was blown up on the spot, his flesh blasted apart, with only a skeleton vaguely visible.
The Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon was also blown into several pieces, looking especially ghastly.
“Mop-up.”
Many Gray Inferior Demons around the edges survived, but their numbers had dwindled to fewer than a thousand.
Su Han directly ordered everyone to start slaughtering these remaining creatures.
In less than half an hour, not a single living Gray Inferior Demon remained, only the dimensional rift was still flickering with purple light.
“Old Zhu, clean up the battlefield, block the surrounding roads.”
“Understood.”
Zhu Xiong cleaned up the battlefield, while the Mother Nest Ancient Tree’s vines began gathering the flesh.
[Fusion material detected from monster flesh, commence Fusion?]
Because the explosion was too powerful, many creatures were accidentally killed.
Live fusion was no longer possible, but there was still an abundant amount of flesh here, also suitable for fusion materials.
Su Han briefly pondered, then the Scorpion Spider Demon stepped forward, grabbing the remains of Xie Kui and the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon.
Fusion
The Scorpion Spider Demon began the fusion. At this moment, among the three Apostles, it was slightly less advanced. It was the most appropriate choice for fusion.
As for the Mother Nest Ancient Tree, its vines would be used for exploring the dimensional rift, which would be more beneficial.
Su Han said to Bai Qilan, “We’re going in. If anything happens, we’ll come out right away.”
Bai Qilan nodded, saying, “Okay.”
