They say I'm a world-destroying anomaly.

The CZ shockwave paralysis projectile accurately struck the heads of the two giant swamp crocodilians, effectively halting their forward charge.

"Bang..."

The wounded giant marsh crocodile, in pain, rolled, curled up, and howled around the edge of its vestibular area, splashing mud everywhere.

However, compared to the moss toad that Cheng Xu had seen before, the giant swamp crocodile dragon's defense was clearly on another level.

Cheng Xu noticed that the Crocodile Dragon's jet-black, layered scales were trembling violently, exhibiting a rubber-like texture as it deflected the impact onto the ground.

The strong current released by the shockwave paralysis projectile only remained on the surface of its body and failed to produce a substantial paralyzing effect on the two crocodilians.

However, this was all within Lance's expectations.

On the spaceship, he had already learned in detail about the average body parameters of common native organisms on Fenglin Star.

This includes the effects of various types of ammunition on different species, as well as the weaknesses and vital points of threatening species.

"Now! Aim at their lower abdomens, tranquilizer darts, fire!"

Unable to maintain its usual prone position due to the shockwave paralysis bullet, the giant marsh crocodile was exposed during the rolling intervals, revealing its belly covered with grayish-white scales.

As soon as Lance finished speaking, Cheng Xu, Madeline, and Mordred seized the brief opening and pulled the trigger.

Siel's reaction was a little slow; by the time he fired, the bullet had already been deflected by the layers of black scales.

But the other three syringe-shaped tranquilizer darts pierced the air and burrowed into the gaps at the base of the hind legs of the giant swamp crocodile on the left, precisely embedding themselves in the gray-white scales.

The anesthetic agents loaded in the tranquilizer grenades were provided by Fenglinxing officials and have proven to be reliable and effective in a recent large-scale capture operation.

The crocodile dragon, shot, stiffened, its struggling and rolling quickly weakened, and after a few feeble paw movements, it soon fell into a deathly slumber.

Cheng Xu calmly reloaded, re-aimed, and fired, finishing off the other giant swamp crocodile dinosaur.

Once both giant swamp crocodiles had fallen still, Cheng Xu raised his pistol and swung his wrist with interest.

During this operation, he still did not choose to reveal his abilities as an "abnormal" to others.

Besides the controllability factors, Cheng Xu also considered the previous actions of the Anomaly Management Bureau, as exposing his special status might cause some trouble for these people.

Although Hu Zhou didn't explicitly say anything during that conversation, Cheng Xu had a general idea that the Administration would take some measures against many of the survivors of the Gelunxing incident to block information related to them.

The others didn't notice Cheng Xu, who was lost in thought. Under the protection of Lancely and Mordred, Madeline walked towards the Swamp Crocodile Dragon.

She pried open the crocodile dragon's eyelids, her brow furrowing:

"Judging from the aggressiveness these two giant swamp crocodilians just displayed, they are more deeply affected by the chaos than crocodilians captured in other areas."

The Luling tribe leader bit his finger, lost in thought, his long hair flowing like water plants.

"They have almost completely lost their minds, leaving only the most primitive instincts."

"No, it's not just instinct, it also possesses a high degree of indiscriminate aggression. Why is this? What exactly influences them..."

Unable to reach a conclusion, Madeline drew a vial of blood from the forepaw of the crocodile dragon in front of her and placed it into a storage container. She then turned to look at Lancelot:

"We'll proceed with the original plan. We'll first enter the Deep Swamp City Ruins, and someone will come later to collect them for the research institute."

"no problem."

Lance nodded.

"I'll lead the way. Silly and Madeline, you two stick close to me. Young Master Cheng Xu and Mr. Mordred, please keep watch at the rear."

The five people formed a triangular formation and advanced from the forecourt area towards the main part of the ruins.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

As soon as I stepped into the ruins, I heard a rustling and grinding sound overhead.

On the shattered dome, a giant python flicked its tongue, raised its head, the size of a human head, and stared at the crowd with its vertical pupils.

"Venomous Gland Python. Be careful of its venom; its highly corrosive toxin may damage your combat suit..."

Before Madeline could finish speaking, the giant python arched its body and sprang out from the dome. In mid-air, it opened its mouth wide, revealing a pair of fangs that dripped with black liquid and were as sharp as steel knives.

"boom!"

Lance fired a shockwave blast, sending the giant python flying head and tail, its two fangs shattering into pieces in mid-air.

After walking a few more steps, another group of jellyfish floated in the air, waving their tentacles as they flew towards us.

"Acid jellyfish. Shoot them quickly, they'll explode after their bodies are destroyed!"

A lizard as tall as three people was blocking everyone's way.

"Absorb the reptile. It has a strong self-healing ability; focus your fire on the dark green scales on its neck."

Spiky vines crept silently from the shadows...

"Rotten Heart Vine..."

……

"What's the situation with these relics?"

By this time, even the slowest-witted of the five, Siel, could sense that something was amiss.

Since entering the main area of ​​the Deep Swamp City, the group has been attacked by native species far too frequently, to an absolutely abnormal degree.

"This site is rejecting us."

Cheng Xu analyzed:

"Although we don't know if there are any abnormal factors, judging from the current situation, there must be some kind of influence driving them."

He inexplicably had the illusion of running a dungeon in a game. He had only been in the dungeon a short while when red-named monsters swarmed towards him, howling.

Lance's expression was grave: "Following this line of thought, the source of this influence is very likely somewhere deep within the ruins. We can't let them continue to harass us like this."

After the continuous battles, Lance, as the team's commander and most important firepower provider, was also extremely annoyed by the constant attacks.

During this process, his ammunition was quickly depleted. Lance turned his head and looked at the leader of the Luling tribe.

"Madeline, what did they say from the spaceship?"

After communicating briefly with the spaceship overhead via the communication system built into her combat suit, Madeline's tone became slightly subdued.

"Something's not right. Native species are appearing all over the Deep Swamp Ruins, heading precisely towards our location."

Her squad's commander, Lance, exchanged a glance: "Should we continue? The situation is a bit strange; perhaps we should retreat first..."

"I don't think it makes sense to turn around and leave as soon as you enter the ruins."

Lance shook his head.

"We continue forward. Be prepared to call in spacecraft for high-altitude support at any time."

Cheng Xu glanced at Lance.

Although Lance's decision seems reasonable, it is not the most rational choice.

If his gaze could penetrate the mask of the combat suit and see into the eyes of this Hawley, he would notice that Lance's eyes were slightly red at this moment.
