2385 Approaching the city center (1)
After the fatal crisis was resolved, Tang Zhen gave the order to continue.
The group did not dare to hesitate and quickly moved forward, afraid that the centipede monsters would catch up.
Monsters were different from humans. They would lose their minds when they were provoked. They would retreat in fear, but they could come back at any time.
As for the energy crystal core in the monster’s body, there was no time to extract it at this moment, which made sun Daquan and the others feel heartache.
When they saw the black smoke-like insect swarm return and float behind them like clouds, they felt a sense of security.
At the very least, when the centipede monster attacked, they would not be in such a difficult situation with these unknown insects blocking them.
If Tang Zhen was able to control these insects, he would be able to use them to deal with other monsters and the pressure on them would be greatly reduced.
However, from the beginning to the end, Tang Zhen did not deliberately control the insect swarm. This made everyone uncertain.
They didn’t know and didn’t dare to ask. They just kept their heads down and moved forward silently.
After walking for some distance, the scene in front of them changed. Most of the buildings on the roadside were damaged, and the smell of smoke and blood filled the air.
A few buildings were broken. There were holes left by the shells and some strange marks, which were obviously left by monsters.
The road was covered with debris, and there were many remains of humans and monsters. It looked like a living hell.
At the end of the road, there was a wriggling gray fog, as if a huge monster was constantly devouring the living beings in the city.
Seeing this scene, everyone’s eyes became serious. They knew that danger was lurking in the thick fog.
As for whether to enter or not, it all depended on Tang Zhen’s decision.
Tang Zhen was also observing. However, he only used a dozen seconds before he made his decision.
Whether it was for the mission reward or to prevent more humans from being harmed, he had no reason to hide.
“We’ll enter the thick fog next. Remember to follow the team closely. I’ll have the swarm guard on both sides to ensure everyone’s safety as much as possible.
You’re all cultivators, so you should have more relevant knowledge than me, so I won’t say more.
If you can last until the end and leave this city with me, I can guarantee that you will obtain unimaginable benefits.
So, please try to stay alive!”
He wasn’t trying to fool everyone. As long as they completed the quest, the system would give them an extremely generous reward.
Tang Zhen could take out some of them and use them as rewards to stimulate everyone’s enthusiasm.
The number of rewarded items was too many. Tang Zhen simply couldn’t use them all. Instead of leaving them in the warehouse, it was better to take them out and display a greater use.
They would provide Tang Zhen with a lot of help. Therefore, Tang Zhen would definitely not feel any heartache if he invested in them.
It was better to use it with practice than with raw power. The strength of sun Daquan and the others who received the rewards would continue to increase and become more and more powerful.
Sun Daquan and the others were silent. They didn’t know whether Tang Zhen was telling the truth or not, but judging from his previous behavior, the authenticity of the promise was very high.
If it was a stingy fellow, how could he give precious raw gemstones as a reward, and how could he take out precious medicinal pills to give to the captives to heal their injuries?
To sun Daquan and the others, Tang Zhen was a mystery. He didn’t seem like a cultivator, but the treasures he possessed were enough to make any cultivator go crazy.
Although they were under the control of others, they had the opportunity to obtain rewards that others drooled over. This mixed feeling of pain and excitement made sun Daquan and the others feel depressed and conflicted.
In fact, they were also very clear that regardless of whether they were willing or not, they had to follow Tang Zhen’s request. It was the same even if they were to throw their lives away.
If he could obtain a generous reward, he would just treat it as a free gain.
After walking for a short while, the team had already entered the thick fog.
After entering the gray fog, everyone immediately felt a slippery and greasy feeling, as if cold hands were constantly groping and moving on the surface of their skin.
There seemed to be cold gazes peeking at the group from the buildings blocked by the gray fog.
It was very likely that in the next second, it would suddenly attack like a poisonous snake.
Sensing the strange environment, everyone was on high alert and ready to fight at any time.
Compared to the nervous sun Daquan and the others, Tang Zhen’s mood was very relaxed.
Although the mist was covering his eyes, he could successfully lock onto the monster’s location because of the system.
In addition to the mission target, he could also see red dots in the nearby area. These were all hidden monsters.
Even if there were walls, no matter how well the monsters hid, they could not hide from the map.
This was all thanks to the cultivators who had followed them all the way. They had searched the entire city and locked onto all the monsters. Then, they entered the information into the system.
A group of super powerhouses helping to investigate the enemy’s situation, this level of service, not many people could enjoy it.
Therefore, compared to the nervous sun Daquan and the others, Tang Zhen was actually calmer and wasn’t worried about being attacked.
While they were moving forward, Tang Zhen suddenly threw the rune rifle to sun Daquan and reported a coordinate.
sun Daquan, 7:30 in the direction, seven meters above the ground. Launch an all-out attack!
After hearing Tang Zhen’s order, sun Daquan, who was dragging the rune rifle thrown by Tang Zhen, was slightly stunned. Then, he subconsciously raised the gun and fired.
After pulling the trigger, a muffled sound was heard, followed by the monster’s painful roar.
There seemed to be a black shadow behind the thick fog, and it fell to the ground with a loud bang. Then, there was a fishy smell, as if something had exploded.
He didn’t even need to guess to know that sun Daquan’s shot just now had directly killed a monster.
“How did he do it?”
A trace of bewilderment rose in everyone’s heart. One must know that they were unable to sense the surrounding environment as they usually did in this strange gray fog. However, Tang Zhen was able to do so.
However, on second thought, Tang Zhen was different from them. It did not seem to be a big deal that he could lock onto the monster through the gray fog.
there’s a monster at one o ‘clock ahead trying to ambush us. Two meters above the ground, launch a series of attacks!
Tang Zhen’s voice was heard once again. This time, sun Daquan wasn’t the only one who fired. The other cultivators with long-range attacks all launched their attacks at the location that Tang Zhen had reported.
This was because they had heard Zhen Tang’s request to attack continuously. This meant that it was impossible for the monster to kill them in one hit.
There was strength in numbers, and it was the same when hunting monsters.
A sound came from behind the gray fog. It seemed to be a huge creature moving its body, and at the same time, wails echoed.
After a series of attacks, there was no more movement behind the gray fog, which proved that the monster that tried to sneak attack had been killed.
When the group passed the attack site, they saw a huge corpse in the middle of the street. It was covered in pustules and red and green tentacles, like a mutated Toad.
A long tongue drooped out of its mouth, which was full of fangs, with black barbs and a rotten human head on it.
From the looks of it, the monster had been lurking by the side of the road, ready to attack before it was attacked.
Once caught by the monster’s tongue, there was no chance to escape at all. They would be directly dragged into the mouth and chewed into minced meat.
At the same time that everyone was shocked in their hearts, they also sighed in their hearts. If it was not because of Tang Zhen’s timely reminder, who knew how many casualties they would have suffered?
After everyone realized this, they started to automatically approach Tang Zhen. It seemed that only Tang Zhen could give them a sense of security in such an environment.
