Chapter 303: Chapter 301: Leaving the Underground Palace

In the world of superpower users, the suppression of attributes truly is a magical thing.

The endlessly proliferating human body is merely a Disaster Level containment item, and as long as there is a superpower user who controls flames or frost energy, they can suppress it before it expands to a certain extent.

Yet, such a thing, in this dim underground palace, nearly became invincible, easily accomplishing what many Assimilation Realm superpower users could not do—killing vast numbers of weak, low-level monsters.

Wen Wen wasn’t worried about superpower users in the underground palace getting hurt by the proliferation body, as those in the Assimilation Realm rarely relied solely on physical attacks.

Even if there was one who only used physical attacks, with the proliferation body’s abilities, it was not enough to pose a threat to an Assimilation Realm superpower user.

In fact, until now, Wen Wen had only harvested two Disaster Level monsters’ tumors, and not a single one at a higher Disaster Level.

No matter how it was arranged or combined, a monster made of ordinary human bodies could at best kill Disaster Level monsters.

But Wen Wen didn’t need quality, just quantity. The frightening killing speed of the proliferation body also caught the attention of other Demon Hunters, with a few even following in Wen Wen’s footsteps, picking off casualties in the wake of the proliferation body.

However, since the proliferation body also attacked them, their harvesting efficiency was far lower than Wen Wen’s.

Ten-plus hours later, the size of the proliferation body had reached a point that even Wen Wen was astonished by. If Zheng Feng had expanded to such a size back then, with just the capability of the Furong River Demon Hunter squad, they definitely couldn’t have suppressed him.

All sorts of human-bodied monsters that would give children nightmares appeared.

Human-bodied centipedes, human-bodied scorpions, human-bodied serpents, human-bodied huskies, human-bodied Giant Kuns...

A myriad of monsters formed by the proliferation body rampaged throughout the entire underground palace; some succeeded in killing weak monsters, while some were torn apart by stronger monsters, only to regenerate into even larger and stranger proliferation bodies.

Facing such an all-out battlefield, even though Wen Wen devoted himself completely to the business of picking off casualties, he only managed to claim a very small portion of the monsters killed by the proliferation body.

"If this thing were in a world without supernatural powers, it could perhaps destroy the world!"

Suddenly, Wen Wen furrowed his brow, for he saw a Giant Kun fall to the ground, its body torn apart by monsters.

This was not strange, but what was strange was its severed limbs did not recombine into new composite monsters; instead, they gradually withered.

"Is it the limit of the proliferation body or did a superpower user take action against it... No, it’s those monsters that are targeting the proliferation body!"

Wen Wen saw with his own eyes that a limb that had fallen to the ground, just as it was about to congeal back into shape, was pierced by a spike and then withered away!

"Could it be... these creatures have actually evolved a toxin that targets the proliferation body!"

Wen Wen grew more wary of these monsters, and after briefly capturing and studying one, he discovered his guess was indeed correct; these monsters had truly evolved a new toxin.

From the fall of that Giant Kun, the proliferation body and the army of monsters began a separatist battle, and the proliferation body gradually fell into a disadvantage!

Once a method to counter it was found, the shortcomings of the proliferation body became apparent, such as its weak upper limit and its instinct-driven actions without any intelligence.

However, from this evolution, Wen Wen also started to understand the monsters’ evolution.

After acquiring this toxin, their abilities in various aspects declined, and their strength was significantly less than before.

"Gaining strength in one aspect only to weaken in another... that does somewhat resemble Yan Biqing’s constitution. It’s not too much of a pervert, and if they could truly evolve endlessly, just these monsters alone would be enough to pose a huge threat to the world,"

"But since they’ve already weakened, that’s actually a good thing."

Wen Wen chuckled and leaped at a Disaster Level monster. Was there a better chance to capture a Disaster Level monster than now?

At that moment, the monster was intensely dealing with the oncoming Proliferation Bodies, while Wen Wen, already hidden in the shadows, drew out the sinister Buddha Gatling.

"Last time I fought that Angel, I used up half of the bullets. I’ll give the rest to you!"

Wen Wen grinned wickedly and aimed the bulky Gatling at the monster’s back, pulling the trigger. A torrent of golden, glossy metal immediately drenched the monster’s body.

Countless bullets shredded it, sending flesh and blood flying, but also infuriated it, prompting it to charge at Wen Wen through the bullet stream.

But it seemed to have forgotten that, in order to evolve against the Proliferation Body’s toxin, its body had already weakened significantly!

So by the time it got close to the muzzle of Wen Wen’s gun, it no longer had the strength to bite Wen Wen.

"Speaking of which, you’re the weakest, and the easiest Disaster Level monster I’ve ever caught, heh heh heh..."

The long serpent-like black chains sprayed out from his hands, easily wrapping around the Disaster Level monster and dragging it into the sanctuary. Wen Wen contentedly patted his right hand.

The third assessment, aside from the trap set by the Giant Egg, yielded quite a rich harvest.

Not only did he capture two monsters of the Disaster and Disaster Level each, but he also gained a lot of tumors that could be exchanged for Demon Hunting Coins, with the greatest gain being the three runes ultimately inscribed!

After capturing that Disaster Level monster, Wen Wen checked the time and realized there wasn’t much time left until the deadline.

The rate at which the Proliferation Bodies harvested the monsters had drastically slowed down, so Wen Wen didn’t want to continue, snapped his fingers, and the massive Proliferation Bodies began to vanish into thin air, ultimately returning to the metal box in his hand.

The group of monsters had devised a way to deal with the Proliferation Bodies, leaving them here would be just like leaving them an endless supply of food.

He then took advantage of the weakening monsters to capture two more Disaster Level monsters. The blue crystal on Wen Wen’s body lit up, signaling that his time in the Underground Palace was up.

A pale blue light enveloped him, teleporting him out of the Underground Palace.

And in the heart of the Underground Palace, that Giant Egg slightly turned over at this moment...

...

The blue light completely disappeared, and Wen Wen was already standing on the ground, the huge sun overhead making him slightly uncomfortable after spending over thirty hours in the Underground Palace.

Xun Qing, standing on his longsword floating mid-air, counted and found that twenty-four Demon Hunters had come out this time.

This also meant that five Assimilation Realm Demon Hunters had perished in this Underground Palace.

Among these twenty-four, twenty-one were assigned cleaning tasks by Xun Qing.

Without cleaning tasks, and having endured to the end, there were only Wen Wen and two other Demon Hunters, a somewhat obese auntie and a cream puff-like superpower user.
