"Isn't that too rational...?"
Shen Heng lowered his eyes slightly.
He wouldn't say he's completely rational, but he does tend to be more rational when faced with most situations.
After all, in this kind of world, the more rational a person is, the longer they are likely to live...
"Are we going to continue killing the Calamity Beast?" Fang Ran's question interrupted Shen Heng's train of thought.
"Okay, let's continue killing the Calamity Beast." Shen Heng nodded.
"So, which way should we go next?" Zhou Xuan asked.
Shen Heng glanced in one direction indifferently, then activated his ability.
A moment later, Shen Heng looked in another direction.
"This way!"
The sound of hurried footsteps rang out again, but it did not spread outwards.
A moment later, a figure arrived at the place.
He stood in the middle of the intersection, turning his head to look around.
But apart from the vehicles blocking the road, all that could be seen around were the dilapidated high-rise buildings on both sides.
"Damn it, where is everyone?"
The next day.
"Boom--"
Thunder rumbled, reflecting the image of a figure pulling a blade from the corpse of Calamity Beast.
The curtain of light in the sky rippled.
7. Shen Heng, points 175
8, Week...
"Where do we go next?" Zhou Xuan asked.
Shen Heng stood on the corpse of the Moon-Howling Silver Wolf and let out a soft breath.
As he unleashed his abilities, he looked up at the thick thunderstorm clouds in the sky.
Over the past three days, the thunderstorm clouds in the sky seem to have become more and more active each day.
Yesterday, we could only occasionally see a bolt of lightning strike the ground, but today it's become a frequent sight.
This situation doesn't seem like a simulation of nature; it seems more like a deliberate act.
What is it for?
"Click--"
Shen Heng snapped out of his thoughts and looked in one of the directions.
There, the sound of stones shattering constantly reached his ears.
"Let's go this way," Shen Heng said.
With that, he jumped off the corpse of the Moon-Howling Silver Wolf and headed toward the direction from which the sound came.
Zhou Xuan and his companions followed closely behind.
Ten minutes later, Shen Heng, who had been jogging, led Zhou Xuan and the others to a corner.
Without Shen Heng's prompting, Zhou Xuan and the others consciously slowed down, because...
"Ouch--"
The sound of pebbles hitting the ground rang in everyone's ears.
Shen Heng carefully walked to the corner and peeked out.
About 60 or 70 meters away, a centipede covered in rocky armor was half-lying on the building.
It kept opening its mouth to tear stones off the building and swallowing them.
Gravel continued to fall during this process.
Shen Heng withdrew his gaze, looked at the people beside him, and whispered:
" Rock Marrow Centipede, Late Third Tier."
No one replied; they simply nodded silently.
Zhou Xuan grinned and clasped his hands together:
"Disciple Zhou Xuan begs the Lord City God to grant his divine intervention!"
A blue aura enveloped his entire body, and four shield-wielding Yin Soldiers emerged from the shadows on the ground.
Shen Heng glanced at Fang Ran, and seeing that the other party nodded to indicate that preparations were complete, he said in a low voice:
"Superior."
The crowd suddenly sprang out from around the corner.
This time, Shen Heng did not launch an attack immediately.
Because the Rock Marrow Centipede were clinging to the wall, they weren't spotted immediately.
But this process didn't last long. Almost as soon as they had covered half the distance, the Rock Marrow Centipede turned its head and saw them.
It twisted its body, its jaws parted, and was about to roar when a sonic wave attacked it first.
"Lonely--"
Sound waves vibrate.
The armor of the Rock Marrow Centipede trembled slightly.
Just as it had recovered somewhat, several Yin Soldiers pounced on it.
However, the effect was not good, because the Rock Marrow Centipede did not have obvious four or six limbs to grab like other Calamity Beast.
His body was too long, and he had too many feet to function as limbs.
Even with four Yin Soldiers each holding one side, they couldn't completely restrain the Rock Marrow Centipede.
Seeing this, everyone narrowed their eyes slightly and did not rashly use other control methods in advance.
Ideally, you could control the Calamity Beast from head to toe until it dies, but if that's not possible, controlling Calamity Beast for the one or two seconds you have to attack Calamity Beast is also acceptable.
Lü Wenrui charged ahead, with Shen Heng following behind.
The distance between the two sides and the Rock Marrow Centipede was rapidly closing.
"Town!"
The brightly lit character for "town" pressed down from the void.
The Rock Marrow Centipede's body was suddenly pressed to the ground, and the branches immediately wrapped around it.
Lü Wenrui leaped up suddenly and shouted again:
"Catch me! I'll stab you!"
The spear thrust straight towards the head of the Rock Marrow Centipede.
The Rock Marrow Centipede struggled frantically, its body suddenly arching upwards.
Then.
Clang!
The spear struck the Rock Marrow Centipede's upper jaw, followed by a piercing roar.
"Roar--"
The Rock Marrow Centipede struggled frantically, and as its hundred legs writhed, the branches binding it began to break off rapidly.
The crowd frowned slightly, but didn't panic excessively.
They've encountered similar situations several times in the past few days; not all the Calamity Beast can be completely controlled and killed by them.
Shen Heng pushed off with his foot, and his pace suddenly quickened.
Before the Rock Marrow Centipede could completely break free of its restraints, the longsword slashed towards the gaps in its joints.
Just as Shen Heng's blade pierced the joints of the Rock Marrow Centipede, the Late Third Tier Calamity Beast suddenly began to convulse violently.
Its body, which was over ten meters long, suddenly curled into a ball, and its rock-armored shell emitted a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound.
Shen Heng's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Spread out, it's going to roll!"
Almost as soon as Shen Heng finished speaking, the body covered in rock armor suddenly spun around, carrying rubble as it crushed towards the crowd.
The booming roar echoed across the battlefield.
While dodging the attacks of the Rock Marrow Centipede Rock Marrow Centipede, the group also tried to attack it.
The Yin Soldiers summoned by Zhou Xuan were smashed to pieces as soon as they rushed forward, and the branches that Fang Ran had cultivated were also broken into several pieces by the friction of the rock armor.
"No, how are we supposed to fight this?" Lü Wenrui held his spear, looking at the Rock Marrow Centipede that was rolling around the battlefield like a wheel with some worry.
High speed, high defense, and great strength!
This refers to the Rock Marrow Centipede in front of us.
Its only weakness now is that its head is caught in the trap, so it can't see them and it's difficult to attack them accurately.
Shen Heng frowned slightly as he looked at the scene before him.
He was pondering whether there was any way to deal with the problem at hand.
Just then, Shen Heng's ears twitched slightly, and he turned his head to look in one direction.
A moment later, a familiar figure appeared in Shen Heng's sight.
The figure paused slightly upon seeing the situation on the battlefield, then a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
His gaze swept across the battlefield before settling on Shen Heng's direction.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
