Chapter 184: Chapter 182: Calamity Right Hand

Lin Zheyuan rubbed his forehead in distress, uncertain of what to do.

Allowing that thing to continue rampaging through the neighborhood was indeed a big problem.

But they truly had no way to deal with that thing right now, which made Lin Zheyuan worry so much his hairline seemed to be receding.

Although Bing He’s comment about Miao Xinyi remarrying seemed like a joke to others, Lin Zheyuan couldn’t take it as one. He didn’t want Qian Xiaoxiang to use it to mock him.

The reason Bing He insisted on being called by his nickname was that his real name wasn’t very impressive.

So, apart from Lin Zheyuan, who didn’t get along with him, few people addressed Bing He by his real name.

As Lin Zheyuan was steeped in worry, a voice came from behind him.

"Let me do it. These old bones of mine should still be of some use."

A middle-aged woman carrying a small backpack emerged from the shadows and came to stand beside Lin Zheyuan. The zipper of her backpack wasn’t fully closed, revealing game consoles, novels, and other such items inside.

"Why have you come? You shouldn’t be meddling in Association matters anymore, since you’ve retired," Lin Zheyuan said, his face momentarily lighting up with joy before he quickly grew stern again.

"There’s no such thing as shouldn’t meddle. As long as we live here, who can stay out of it? If the Evil God really causes a calamity in this city, it won’t spare me just because I’m retired," the middle-aged woman said with a smile.

Hearing the woman speak this way, Lin Zheyuan felt somewhat relieved. With her here, things should get a bit easier for them.

Her name was Wang Qin, a retired Ranger who was over ninety years old!

Of course, on the surface, she didn’t look a day over thirty-five.

"The problem you’re facing now is that giant mass of flesh, I take it. Such a disgusting monster. Let me test its depth first," she said.

Wang Qin rifled through her backpack for a moment before pulling out a somewhat delicate Folding Bow.

Then, green specks of light condensed in her hand, eventually turning into an arrow brimming with the essence of life.

This was her ability: to gather the forces of nature and shoot various arrows, each with different effects!

The game consoles and novels in her bag had nothing to do with her abilities; they were only there for her amusement.

She drew the Longbow to its full extent, and the green arrow turned into a comet of verdure, flying toward the Corrupted District.

"This is an extreme long-range shot; it’s not very powerful. Let’s see how it deals with this, then I’ll plan the combat strategy based on its response," she explained.

The arrow traveled a considerable distance and embedded itself in the flesh of the Monster, eliciting a mournful cry.

"My abilities have strong killing power against such filth, so..."

Wang Qin looked in the direction of the Monster, confident that her arrow would at least slightly injure the creature.

Before she could finish speaking, the Monster began to shrink and then collapsed into a heap of broken flesh!

It was as if the Monster had been killed by that single arrow!

Lin Zheyuan’s jaw dropped as he gazed in that direction and muttered,

"The Monster is dead, isn’t it? This... This... She really lives up to the name of a retired Ranger. Her strength is formidable. I might never possess such strength in my life."

Wang Qin, puzzled, toyed with her hair. The arrow was indeed just a probe. At such a long distance, it shouldn’t have been able to kill even a Disaster Level Monster.

And judging by the way that Monster was thrashing about, it seemed to have the strength of at least a mid-level Disaster creature.

But that massive monster, just like that, was dead.

What was going on?

...

Within the Corrupted District, Wen Wen was using the flesh blob monster as a power bank, replenishing the energy needed by the Sanctuary.

Suddenly, a verdant arrow shot from afar, piercing directly through the body of the flesh blob monster.

The flesh and blood affected by this arrow lost all its mystical features and turned into pure flesh and blood, as if drained by Wen Wen’s Catastrophe Gloves.

But that was merely a superficial resemblance, the actual energy on the arrow was extremely antagonistic against the alien strength within the monster’s body, hence it had a purification-like effect.

"Monsters in the Corrupted District don’t use such energy, so this must be a Demon Hunter’s attack. Did this creature clash with a Hunter?"

Wen Wen was very aware of the flesh blob monster’s capabilities. Although all the Demon Hunters venturing into the Corrupted District were skilled, few could overcome it.

So Wen Wen knew, it was time to end this creature’s life.

He could not let this creature pose a threat to other Demon Hunters when he could kill it at any moment.

Therefore, with a forceful use of his right arm, the absorbing strength suddenly doubled, and the monster, which could barely maintain a balance, collapsed into a heap of wriggling flesh.

And these chunks of flesh gradually lost their vitality as the energy that supported their motion had all been absorbed into the Catastrophe Gloves.

The ground was covered with disgusting limbs and sticky green fluids. Wen Wen crawled out with a look of disgust, then tapped himself lightly, and a layer of ice shell fell off along with the filth.

The ice shell created previously to resist high temperatures, not encountering the anticipated heat, inadvertently insulated Wen Wen from the filth, thus not wasting Qin Shuang’s energy.

"Strange, there shouldn’t be any Hunters around here."

The flesh blob monster’s presence was too alarming. Normal Demon Hunters would stay far away from it, hence there were none nearby.

"Could it be that I acted too late, and that Hunter was already devoured by this thing?" Wen Wen scratched his head, puzzled.

"Forget it, I won’t think about it for now. I’ve done what I need to do. If he really was unlucky, there’s nothing I can do about it."

By now, with the flesh blob monster as the center, more than a dozen villas had been destroyed by it, suggesting that the source of corruption was certainly not in those places.

Next, Wen Wen’s task was to head to other buildings, searching for the possible locations of the source of corruption.

However, before departing, Wen Wen wanted to see what kind of surprises the fully developed Catastrophe Gloves on his left hand could bring him.

First, visually, the glove on the left hand was identical to the right, both appeared indomitable.

Simultaneously, this glove also brought tremendous strength gain to Wen Wen’s left arm, his upper limbs’ strength now completely surpassing that of his lower body.

Then there were the Black Chains shot from the left hand. At first glance, the left chains seemed identical to the ones on the right hand, but these chains did not possess the energy-absorbing trait of the right hand chains.

In contrast, their force was much greater than that of the right, and they were more aggressive. Even the tips of these chains were sharp blades, while the chains from the right hand had small weights at their ends.

These chains likely also had their own unique features, but Wen Wen had not yet discovered them.

Next was what Wen Wen was most looking forward to, the Ring on his right hand. After clicking it twice, he found out that he could not select the cells’ numbers through this ring.

This meant that Wen Wen could not use the monsters’ abilities through the ring on his left hand.

However, on the left hand ring, he could select the numbers for the containment warehouse!
