Rotten God Kingdom

"What's the point of us barging in like this?" Jiang Wang asked, puzzled, as he pulled back the bolt of his gun.

Several thousand people just barged into a lakeside area where there was a high probability of monsters, without any reconnaissance or tactical deployment.

"Director Xiang has his own ideas," Wang Ye said casually.

This is a small force; there are only a dozen or so monsters in front of us.

Fortunately, he didn't say it aloud, otherwise Jiang Wang would definitely have started cursing.

They occupy a territory, but in very small numbers, which indicates that they are very strong individually; otherwise, they would have been driven away long ago.

It's understandable that Wang Ye, with his limited experience, doesn't understand these intricacies.

But even a tour guide who has been to so many places doesn't know?

Before Jiang Wang could ask any more questions, the monster on the other side was already charging towards them.

These monsters look almost identical, somewhat like deer, with curved antlers on their heads. They vary in size, with the largest being over ten meters tall and the smallest only two or three meters.

Even the smallest one is a colossal creature that no single human could face.

Jiang Wang heard a dense barrage of gunfire.

The travelers at the forefront have already completed a volley of fire.

Tens of thousands of bullets were unleashed upon the monster.

Most bullets begin to slow down the moment they leave the barrel, and when they are still tens of meters away from the deer-like monster, the color of the bullets gradually changes, becoming less like metal and more like plastic.

The blows made a series of loud thuds as they hit the monster.

Only a small number of bullets struck the deer-like monster intact, leaving spiderweb-like cracks on its skin.

The houses at the front gradually accelerated and collided head-on with the monster.

The concrete structure of the house changed the moment it came into contact with the monster, as if it had been assimilated. It gradually turned yellow and became fragile from the point of contact, cracking at the slightest bump from the monster.

"Is that how you guys fight?" Jiang Wang looked at Wang Ye in disbelief.

That's too brutal.

It was practically a village brawl.

Don't we have guns and cannons? Why not just whittle them down from a distance?

Wang Ye scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "Guns are fine, but we don't have any cannons. Nobody's willing to sell them to us, and carrying them around all the time is a heavy burden."

Jiang Wang took a deep breath.

Row.

Let's treat this as a team-building activity for humans, and the activity involves clearing out monsters.

Jiang Wang handed the automatic rifle to Jiang Xin and instructed, "Wait for me here. Shoot when the monster attacks. You can run if necessary."

Jiang Xin nodded emphatically.

In the wilderness, it's best to avoid using the abilities of those from the hunting city, as it can easily arouse suspicion.

Fortunately, Jiang Wang had other trump cards up his sleeve.

He glanced at his hands; the white patches on his skin had spread to his knuckles and almost covered his entire body, making him look as if his whole body had faded.

Jiang Wang tried to activate the power of the Book of Diseases. The white patches began to wriggle slightly, and Jiang Wang appeared ethereal in the sunlight before finally disappearing completely.

Invisible.

Besides lung heat, vitiligo gave him this special ability.

Other diseases are still slowly developing in the body, and no usable superpowers have yet appeared.

The good news is that, perhaps because of the Book of Illness, Jiang Wang has been coughing much less often lately, and the severe pain when breathing has been reduced to almost imperceptible levels.

Invisibility is a very useful skill.

Jiang Wang lowered his body, bypassed the main battlefield, and crept along the lake shore toward the rear of the monster horde.

The monsters ignored Jiang Wang, who was sneaking past them from the side. What they needed to be more careful about now was the stray bullets behind them.

These travelers really need to practice their marksmanship.

A monster several meters tall was right in front of them, and they still managed to miss!

The war between monsters and humans has reached a fever pitch.

The battle was intense from the very beginning.

On one side is the human camp, numbering several thousand, which holds an overwhelming advantage in strength. Winning this war is only a matter of time; the only question is how to achieve victory with minimal cost.

On the other side is the monster faction protecting their homeland. They are overwhelmingly stronger in individual terms, and the humans have to sacrifice five or six houses to barely put up a fight against them.

Regarding superpowers.

The deer-like monster's ability to amber objects is quite useful; human bullets hitting them are like tickling them.

Humans possess a wide variety of superpowers; Jiang Wang even saw several who could teleport.

He teleported to the monster's head with a grenade, threw the grenade, and then teleported away again.

One traveler took out a notebook, on which was written: "There is a monster like an ape, with a mouth as big as a bucket, and a shrill voice that can deafen people."

A lifelike sketch was drawn on the back of the notebook.

The traveler tore the entire page out of his notebook and threw it in front of him. A phantom of an ape appeared out of thin air and roared at the deer-shaped monster.

Documenting travel experiences is also one of the things that travelers love to do.

Other various monsters were also summoned by the travelers to join the battlefield.

These phantoms have a very short duration, usually only able to launch one or two attacks, and they don't distinguish between friend and foe, but they are quite useful in this environment.

When facing monsters, humans should use technology and numbers to crush them.

In this day and age, being able to achieve a one-to-one battle loss with a monster is considered a great victory.

Jiang Wang watched from behind the battlefield for a while, then shook his head in disappointment.

These travelers' combat abilities were still somewhat lacking.

If the numbers are roughly equal, the sick city will likely crush them.

Jiang Wang sneaked into the monster's lair and saw an egg and a cub about half the height of a person inside.

He was somewhat surprised.

It looks like a deer, so how can it be oviparous?

But this way it saves trouble.

Jiang Wang's muscles bulged, and fish scales appeared on his face and body, indicating that his physical strength had increased.

The superpowers of the Sick City and the superpowers of the Fishman City are actually compatible.

This was Jiang Wang's first time using it this way, and he didn't expect it to succeed on the first try.

The cub fidgeted restlessly in the nest, completely unaware of Jiang Wang sneaking in.

Jiang Wang moved his feet gently, and just as the cub was about to notice him, he suddenly darted to the cub's side, wrapped his arms tightly around its neck, and pressed down with his entire weight.

The cub was knocked to the ground and struggled in panic, its hooves leaving deep marks on the sand and gravel.

The best way to find out a monster's weakness is to study its cubs.

Young cubs are weak and have limited intelligence; even if they possess special abilities, their influence is not as great as that of an adult.

However, in terms of physical structure, there is actually not much difference between cubs and adults.

The cub was pinned down, and the arm around its neck was strangling its trachea, making it unable to breathe, let alone make a sound for help.

The cub's neck cracked, and it struggled even harder.

Jiang Wang's clothes and scales also began to turn amber, breaking and embedding into the skin as the cub struggled.

Gradually, the cub stopped breathing, its limbs twitched, and then it became completely still. Jiang Wang loosened his arms and lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Jiang Wang deactivated his fish-man form, but the scales affected by his superpowers could not be recovered, so he had no choice but to peel them off one by one.

The skin was left with small, fingernail-sized wounds.

To avoid the cub's special ability potentially continuing to take effect, Jiang Wang had no choice but to waste some time.

The remaining task was to figure out what to do with the corpse.

Jiang Wang took a tactical dagger from the armory and stabbed it hard into the cub's skin.

Not only does the texture of its skin resemble amber, but even the texture of its muscles is extremely similar to amber, making it difficult to cut with a knife.

Jiang Wang took out his Colt and fired two shots at the corpse.

The bullet was lodged in the body, leaving only a hole the size of a finger.

Using a gun wouldn't be very effective either.

Adults are over ten meters tall. How many bullets would it take to kill them?

Jiang Wang frowned as he pondered.

Use water?

They live near the water.

Although the water in the lake doesn't look like normal water.

Use fire?

Jiang Wang thought it was worth a try, since the color and texture of the corpse were very similar to amber.

Jiang Wang took out his lighter and paused for a moment on the corner of the corpse.

The hard horn softened rapidly, and the areas that had been scorched by the fire began to burn.

There is a play!

Jiang Wang's expression remained unchanged as he selected several areas on the corpse that he considered to be weak points and roasted them.

The results were equally impressive.

After receiving the conclusion, Jiang Wang immediately rushed back.

The situation on the other side of the battlefield was changing rapidly. Several monsters had already fallen, seemingly killed by bombs.

The ground was covered with the remains of houses, and bloodstains could still be seen on some of the remains.

Jiang Wang saw Jiang Xin huddled in the corner and felt a slight sense of relief.

He also saw Wang Ye on the edge of the battlefield, looking tense but with a determined gaze, lying on the ground firing sniper shots.

"Fire! Use fire!"

Jiang Wang returned to the battlefield and shouted loudly to everyone.

Nobody paid him any attention.

Everyone was busy with their own things, and everyone was under a lot of stress.

Jiang Wang's position here isn't high enough, so his words lack credibility.

If Jiang Wang immediately said that he was a hunter from the Hunter City, everyone would probably believe him right away.

Hunters are professionals at hunting.

Learning to find the weaknesses of one's prey is an essential skill for every hunter.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Jiang Wang looked towards the center of the city, where the sanctuary stood.

He didn't believe what he said, so he told the news to people of high status.

Jiang Wang crossed the firepower network. No one knew what Jiang Wang was going to do or his name, but everyone knew that Director Xiang valued this person very much.

So he slightly adjusted the direction of his gun to make way for Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang entered the sanctuary with almost no effort.

Director Xiang was standing in the lobby on the first floor, holding the photo album. Hearing footsteps, he opened his eyes and was slightly surprised to see Jiang Wang's arrival.

"Have you figured it out?"

"I'm here to tell you that these monsters are afraid of fire." Jiang Wang was too lazy to say anything more to this evil missionary leader.

The director paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."

"Do you need me to pass on a message or think of a solution? These monsters aren't numerous, but they're very troublesome, and bullets aren't very useful."

Director Xiang shook his head and said, "No need."

Jiang Wang grew anxious.

So you don't care about human life at all? He took a risk to get this information.

Director Xiang held up the photo album in his hand, gesturing for Jiang Wang to follow him.

They climbed step by step to the top floor of the church.

Looking down from here, you can see the entire lake in its entirety.

The guide slowly said, "The limited use of the photo album is the key to the survival of the Traveler's City. It is because I have witnessed its power that I am eager to find someone who can control it."

Just as Jiang Wang was about to say something, he saw blood seeping from the guide's seven orifices.

He dabbed at the blood and tears from the corner of his eyes with his hand and quickly flipped through the photo album.

After flipping through more than a dozen pages, the guide's hand stopped on a photo of a volcano taken from above.

He lightly touched the photograph with his blood-stained index finger.

The air around us suddenly became hot and dry, and a strong smell of sulfur and burning filled the air.

The scene before me was no longer beautiful and dreamlike, but rather a scene resembling hell.

The scalding lava surged and slowly swallowed the monster and several residents.

The volcano in the photo is now vividly recreated before my eyes!
