Chapter 183: Chapter 181: The Walking Power Bank

Wen Wen’s mouth curved into a faint smile. When lighting the explosives, his hand trembled slightly, reminiscent of setting off firecrackers to blow up bottles in his childhood.

Realizing his prey had returned to its belly, the gigantic meatball monster began attacking Wen Wen again. It was determined to devour him.

Compared to other prey outside, Wen Wen was more attractive.

Other corrupted monsters were merely food to fill its belly, but a normal superpower user like Wen Wen was a feast.

Wen Wen didn’t rush back to the Sanctuary. Instead, he waved a dagger, guarding the fuse of the explosives.

Without doing so, the explosives might not detonate properly.

Seeing only less than a centimeter of the fuse left, Wen Wen threw it into the air and dove into the Sanctuary.

Boom!

The large pack of explosives detonated, sweeping through everything inside the stomach with furious heat and force.

The massive meatball monster outside, still moving leisurely, suddenly swelled several times in size. Underneath the flesh, a faint orange glow shone as if it would burst into pieces of rotten flesh at any moment.

But at that moment, several circular air holes appeared on the body of the meatball monster, and scorching black smoke with sparks jetted out from these holes.

This meatball monster quickly returned to its original size, using this method to minimize the damage from the explosives!

The meatball monster’s adaptability to extreme conditions was utterly perverse.

Yet even so, the monster had sustained massive damage. Such powerful force had erupted inside it; any ordinary Disaster Level Monster would have been blown up by now.

Underneath the meatball monster, numerous small meat legs grew out, quickly rushing toward another villa.

It needed to devour more to ensure its body would not collapse. The damage it had just sustained was too severe.

The monster inside that villa roared at the meatball monster, warning it to not come closer.

But this time, the meatball monster didn’t even bother to probe and directly transformed into a puddle of meat, completely covering the villa.

Not only the creatures inside, but even the glass, bricks, and the green matter covering the exterior were all digestible by it and used to repair itself.

The serious injury made it even more vicious, and the nearby monsters all suffered.

...

Several minutes after the explosion, Wen Wen, covered in a layer of frost, emerged again from the Sanctuary, looked at the environment inside the monster, and shook his head in disappointment.

"Hmm, the temperature here isn’t as high as I expected. It’s terrifying that it could adapt to so much explosives exploding inside it, but no matter, I’ve already weakened it."

Wen Wen took a deep breath, rolled up the sleeves of his Containment Officer uniform to his shoulders, and a black glove appeared, falling to the ground.

The ground instantly turned into a gaping maw, attempting to swallow Wen Wen.

But Wen Wen slammed his right hand into it instead!

Black Chains extended from the palm, back of his hand, and various parts of his entire arm, piercing through the flesh of the meatball monster and covering the entire ground!

Then, he began to absorb the energy from the body of the meatball monster.

Given its enormous size, its energy was incomparable to those smaller monsters.

A massive amount of energy rushed into the Catastrophe Gloves, causing the golden dust on Wen Wen’s left hand to start turning substantial.

After its energy was absorbed, the fleshy monster’s entire body trembled as if it had been hollowed out.

But it wouldn’t just let Wen Wen take its precious energy; a thick flesh hammer covered in sharp barbs appeared above Wen Wen’s head and smashed down toward him.

Wen Wen stretched out his left hand upward, and the same Black Chains emanated out, blocking the meat hammer!

The number of Black Chains on his left hand wasn’t as many as on his right, but the left hand’s chains could form a circle just right, firmly protecting Wen Wen.

Now, merely relying on the chains on his two hands, even without using any monster’s power, Wen Wen was no less capable than an average superpower user.

Since the fleshy monster was so huge and constantly resisting, the chains couldn’t wrap around it completely, so the energy absorption wasn’t fast, but if it were any other monster, it would probably have been drained dry by Wen Wen already.

Unable to deal with Wen Wen, the flesh blob monster, not wanting to be drained dry, could only accelerate towards other villas, attacking other monsters to resist Wen Wen’s absorption.

But as the integrated energy increased, Wen Wen’s efficiency in absorbing energy got higher and higher, gradually surpassing the monster’s attacking efficiency.

However, at that moment, Wen Wen’s absorption speed suddenly stopped.

Of course, it wasn’t that Wen Wen couldn’t absorb anymore, but rather, he wanted to "nurture" the monster for a while.

Killing it like this, wouldn’t it be a waste?

Why not let it absorb other monsters, and then Wen Wen could absorb it, using it as a mobile power bank—wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Realizing Wen Wen was no longer absorbing, the flesh blob monster was overjoyed and hurriedly accelerated its capturing of smaller monsters to replenish its deficit.

After it had slightly recovered for a while and gained a bit of resistance, Wen Wen began absorbing energy from the monster again.

This repeated back and forth, and golden rings and bracelets had formed on Wen Wen’s left hand!

"Hehehe, even though it’s formed, I can’t stop using it. Where else can you find such a good power bank? I shouldn’t ruin it so easily. Using it this way to l find the source is much more efficient than searching each place individually."

Of course, the good times didn’t last long, as the rampage of the flesh blob monster in the Corrupted District caught the attention of Lin Zheyuan and others outside.

Under the green fog’s cover, the situation inside the Corrupted District was generally unobservable, but the flesh blob monster was too big and very active, constantly destroying new villas, so Lin Zheyuan still noticed it.

From afar, Lin Zheyuan looked at the flesh blob monster, his expression gradually becoming serious, and then he spoke to Bing He over the walkie-talkie.

"Bing He, do you see that thing? I have a bad feeling about this."

On the other side, at the edge of the Corrupted District, Bing He sat on an ice disc floating midair.

"Of course, I saw it; such an obvious thing, how could I miss it? But it can also help us eliminate some suspicious areas, and it is also clearing our enemies."

Lin Zheyuan frowned, he didn’t want to rely on such a thing for convenience, "So, do you mean to say let it act autonomously?"

"Not like that."

Bing He shook his head and said, "That was just now. Now that this thing has devoured so many monsters, though it’s imperceptible, its strength could be terrifying now. It’s not just those monsters that will suffer; even our Demon Hunters sent in can’t withstand its attacks."

"Most importantly, it’s very likely the source of corruption, so we need to find a way to kill it!"

Lin Zheyuan said worriedly, "Kill it, how? Neither of us can make a move, and Uncle Gong is inside tangled up with something..."

Bing He gave a confident smile, then coldly said to Lin Zheyuan, "How would I know? This is your turf; just use whatever backups you have, don’t dawdle around and be unmanly. If you can’t handle that thing, just let Xin Yi marry me."

A vein throbbed on Lin Zheyuan’s forehead as he shouted at Bing He, "Qian Xiaoxiang, you son of a..."

Meanwhile, Bing He had already turned off the walkie-talkie and couldn’t hear Lin Zheyuan’s words.
