" Shen Heng?"
Fan Hong was slightly taken aback, recognizing the owner of the voice, and then his voice suddenly became very serious.
"Yes, we're 300 meters away. What happened?"
Although the information about the Calamity Beast has been disseminated and quarantine is no longer necessary in the past six months, emergency personnel are still needed to patrol the surrounding area.
On the one hand, it is necessary to persuade ordinary people who might be unaware of the presence of Calamity Beast to leave.
On the other hand, it is necessary to deal with some special situations that may arise, such as weapons support, transfer orders, and treatment of the wounded.
"Something unexpected happened. You all come over, take them all out, and then decide how to proceed based on the situation," Shen Heng said slowly.
After he finished speaking, he paused and added a sentence.
"You've been working with us for many years, you should know how to handle this, right?"
They?... Although he had made some preparations, Fan Hong's heart still sank. He took a deep breath and said:
"Okay, I understand. We're already on our way."
"Hmm." Shen Heng nodded slightly, paused for a moment, and then threw Le Gu Nan out.
As he walked toward the next person, Fan Hong's somewhat hesitant voice came through the earpiece again.
"May I ask how many people are left?"
"Now?" Shen Heng paused. "Now I'm the only one left, but don't worry, the others aren't dead, they're just temporarily unconscious and incapacitated."
When Fan Hong heard that there was only one left, his heart jumped, but he was quickly calmed down by what Shen Heng said next.
"Has the Calamity Beast been dealt with?" Fan Hong asked.
"Not yet."
"So, shall we go together?"
"No, you can take the rest of the people with you."
"Shall we take the others with us? Aren't you coming with us?" Fan Hong's voice became somewhat urgent.
"If I leave, you won't be able to leave." Shen Heng paused, glancing at the Shadow Erosion in the distance, which was almost completely finished, with only a small section remaining above its head.
"This..." Fan Hong opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but in the end he could only manage to say with difficulty, "I understand!"
Shen Heng didn't reply. He silently tossed the captain and Han Ling toward the door, then turned and walked away.
Another heavy admonition came through the earpiece.
"Be careful, stay alive!"
Shen Heng paused for a moment, then replied:
"Um."
He stopped.
He raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
Moonlight streamed through the tempered glass of the roof, illuminating the Cthulhu -like figure standing silently on the ground.
(Okay, I'm really bad at judging the word count. I was going to stop here yesterday.)
Shadow Erosion raised a tentacle and scratched its head, looking at the human below with some confusion.
"You... haven't even reached... Fourth Tier yet, how... could you... withstand my... Pain Resonance...?"
"Is that move called Pain Resonance?" Shen Heng asked in a low voice, his gaze fixed on Shadow Erosion.
Its height was not as tall as when it was first seen; it was now only about eight or nine meters tall.
It wasn't killed by the explosion, but it still sustained considerable damage?
Or was it that the move just now took too much energy?
Or perhaps both?
Shen Heng pondered.
"Hmm... that's the sum of all the pain I've suffered since the day I was born... until now... you're the first person I've ever seen... who could endure it." Shadow Erosion's voice was broken and intermittent, like a broadcast with a poor signal.
After saying that, it seemed to remember something and added:
"Not yet... Fourth Tier."
"Oh, I see!" Shen Heng replied absentmindedly, his gaze still fixed on Shadow Erosion.
He was trying to figure out if there was any way he could beat his opponent.
But no matter how I think about it, this method shouldn't exist...
"Human... I acknowledge you... Would you... like to become my Erosion Servant?"
Shen Heng's thoughts were interrupted by Shadow Erosion's words, and he looked up at Shadow Erosion with some confusion.
" Erosion Servant?"
"Our clan... can recruit one... Erosion Servant every two ranks," Shadow Erosion Eclipse explained.
"Becoming Erosion Servant... is equivalent to obtaining half a ticket to immortality."
"After that... as long as you aren't... killed... in one go."
Even if... your brain is damaged, as long as you... have a breath left... I can... fully restore you to health.
"That sounds tempting, but what's the price?" Shen Heng asked calmly.
"The price... is merely... occasionally obeying... my commands," Shadow Erosion said haltingly.
"For now... it's about... helping me hide... and... occasionally providing me with... food."
"How do you control the Erosion Servant?" Shen Heng asked, raising his eyes.
"Simple... Just leave a conscious clone in your head," Shadow Erosion said.
"I see," Shen Heng said softly.
"How about it... I'll consider it... My Second Tier spot... I haven't used it yet." Tentacles slowly waved around Shadow Erosion.
"Heh, forget it. I'm not that interested in being someone else's servant," Shen Heng chuckled.
"What a... pity! Since that's the case... then... I can only... let you, like them, replenish my... losses today." Shadow Erosion said with some regret.
Hearing the screech of brakes outside the market, Shen Heng calmly drew his long sword.
No matter what, we must at least hold out until the captain and the others are rescued by Fan Hong.
"Whoosh--"
A sharp whistling sound rang out.
Three tentacles shot out like javelins.
Shen Heng took a light breath.
Then, he lifted his leg and went to meet him.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."
The clang of metal rang out, and sparks flew everywhere.
The longsword struck the incoming tentacles again and again.
This time, Shen Heng did not use the Vibrating Blade.
Severing the Shadow Erosion's tentacles is pointless; they can regenerate immediately.
Therefore, Shen Heng simply covered the longsword with his Origin Power to ensure that it was hard enough to knock the tentacles away.
only...
A flash of light, followed by a sharp, clanging sound.
The sparks illuminated Shen Heng's increasingly solemn profile.
Tentacles rained down on him relentlessly.
The first tentacle had barely been severed when the second one appeared, followed closely by the third...
Although I had considered that it might be difficult, I could only truly feel it when I faced it head-on.
That...
The oppressive feeling emanating from Near-S-Class Calamity Beast!
This shows that even a single Calamity Beast could hold its own against their entire Third Tier team for a considerable time.
Even someone like Xiao Xiangtong, who is among the top A-Class martial artists, could only escape injured!
