My Monster Fuses Everything

Li Ruikang not only refrained from scolding Zhao Yaqian, but actually smiled, looking at her with a hint of surprise and satisfaction in his expression.

He watched Zhao Yaqian, eager to hear her thoughts.

Zhao Yaqian no longer felt a heavy heart, and after speaking out, she actually felt much more relieved.

"Spirit users can sense each other and communicate over distances far greater than normal people. I have always been in contact with Bai Qilan."

She didn't directly state the reason but explained the means by which she was able to contact the Tree Domain.

"Bai Qilan advanced to Third Order not long ago. Her spiritual energy is far stronger than mine and Duan Jie's. Not just her, to my knowledge, Zhu Xiong and Gan Xinglei have probably advanced to Third Order too. This is just the tip of the iceberg of Tree Domain's strength."

Zhao Yaqian slowly expressed her thoughts, as Li Ruikang, Yan Tiejun, and the third person listened quietly, without interrupting.

Zhao Yaqian's gaze drifted toward the window, observing the vast fog at the edge of the camp, and said, "The core of the Tree Domain is Su Han. One Su Han is enough to overpower all the people I just mentioned above.

I've been to the Tree Domain the most, and they have high walls, their camp is already cleared, with the hospital rebuilt, agriculture and animal husbandry restored, and a flow of people similar to pre-apocalyptic times. We're also trying our best to do the same, but our progress is too slow."

She shifted her gaze back to the conference room, her eyes becoming resolute: "We're already stretched thin facing tens of thousands of monsters. Still, I've personally seen Su Han slaughter tens of thousands of monsters alone, and it only took him tens of minutes.

We estimated South City had more than a hundred thousand people left, but with the outbreak of the fog tide, survivors are likely even fewer. We can't delay any longer; to do so would be murderous."

Her words were impactful and heavy, like stones smashing into the hearts of Li Ruikang and the others.

Indeed, before the Tree Domain had the capability to gather other districts' survivors, we were gathering survivors and trying our best to restore order to the south of the city. It's a good thing.

However, when the Tree Domain can reclaim other districts and yet they fall into a predicament, delaying any further is possible, but the number of survivors in the South City district, and even the survivors in other districts, would decrease over time.

This is murder.

If they truly wanted to protect the survivors, then joining forces and reclaiming South City was the fastest and most effective method.

The point Li Ruikang was considering was actually this. However, this time he indeed wasn't as decisive as Zhao Yaqian.

"You're right."

Li Ruikang nodded and said, "Regardless of other factors, now, for South City, only the Tree Domain can accomplish this. Yaqian, since you can contact Miss Bai, then explain our situation in detail. If saving lives and preserving all these factories are possible, the recovery speed of South City would be even more assured."

"I will contact her immediately. With Su Han's strength, the monster tide will surely not trouble him. But the movements of the Zerg are still unclear, and I'm worried about unexpected developments."

The Tree Domain had provided information about the Zerg to the South City camp, describing a highly organized race, with Third Order Holy Helmet Beetles, Second Order Beetles, and First Rank Worker Beetles.

Although they had already appeared, their mode of activity was causing Bai Qiuwen and others increasing worry.

Because, guiding, ambushing, exhausting—every appearance of the Zerg revolved around these points, too deliberate for mere biological instinct. Their command structure was too obvious.

"Also, tell them to be on high alert. That's all we can do for now."

Bang

The door was pushed open, and Wang Hu entered quickly, his expression anxious: "The fire's out; the monsters are attacking again, led by a Third Order Monster!"

In the conference room, Li Ruikang and the others' complexions changed, and they immediately stood up: "Organize the defense. How many Third Order Monsters are there?"

"Two Holy Helmet Beetles and two suspected Third Order Monsters that are Inferior Demons and Corpse Ghosts, at least 60 thousand common monsters."

Everyone's expressions darkened. Zhao Yaqian immediately turned and left the room: "I'll go first; I'm afraid Duan Jie can't hold them back."

Zhao Yaqian rushed out the door, hurried down the stairs, and ran straight to the front lines. The Apostle, the Shadow Devouring Demon, had already been summoned by her, and in a few strides, she was carried to the edge of the industrial park's wall.

The wall of the industrial park had been reinforced a second time, especially since Cheng Zhenyong brought back a large amount of materials like cement, working with Black Rock Tree Monsters to fortify it to seven meters. Although not as thick as the Tree Domain Camp's walls, they were still half a meter thick in most parts.

Now, at the edge of the wall, all the Southern City Guards were ready for battle, with the city crossbows, crossbow arrows, and chemical bombs all prepared.

Three hundred meters beyond the wall lay a thick fog, shrouding the ruins scorched by flames. As the heatwave gradually subsided, it was replaced by the silhouettes of monsters.

Endless and roaring, their uproar filled the air.

Among these monsters, four powerful figures stood out, their aura much stronger than other monsters, namely the Holy Helmet Beetles, Double-headed Gray Inferior Demons, and the Giant Rock Ghouls.

"Hiss"

When the sharp hissing sound emerged from the mouths of the Holy Helmet Beetles, the monster horde seemed to stir; under the Worker Beetles' guidance, almost all the monsters charged toward the wall.

"Attack!"

As soon as the monsters approached, the Southern City Guards began their assault. The overwhelming tide of monsters was bone-chilling, but they had no room to retreat and had to hold the line.

Behind them lay their camp, even their relatives and friends—retreating meant death.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"There are too many monsters; we must decapitate their leaders."

Duan Jie's expression was stern as he found Zhao Yaqian. If they couldn't quickly deal with the Third Order Monsters, such a massive wave of monsters was simply too much for the Southern City Guards to handle.

Even with the support of the walls, the Southern City Guards could fight three to one, or even four to one, but how many of them were there?

"How many bombs are left?"

"Over two hundred chemical bombs and only thirty reserved spiritual energy cannons."

Duan Jie's expression was serious, relying on these, they could hold on for a while, which was also the time they had to take action.

If they couldn't resolve the situation, the casualties of the Southern City Guards would skyrocket.

Zhao Yaqian immediately closed her eyes, her psychic perception spreading out. Her expression changed slightly because the number of monsters wasn't just sixty thousand, but possibly even one hundred thousand.

Claw Inferior Demons and Corpse Ghosts were numerous, but among these hordes, Zhao Yaqian had also detected the spiritual figures of Engineer Insects and Blade Beetles.

This was a deluge prompted by the Abyssal Insect Race; if not dealt with, the South City camp might be overwhelmed.

"Let's get started."

Seeing no more Third Order Monsters, Zhao Yaqian's gaze sharpened immediately.

The remaining two Apostles were summoned by her. The Shadow Armor Tyrant broke through to the Third Order, while the remaining Apostle had a contract with a Third Order Blood Bone Ghoul.

The three Apostles crossed the wall, charging directly into the crowd of monsters, wielding sharp claws, tumbling the incoming monstrosities to the ground, tearing them apart continuously.

Zhao Yaqian flipped off the wall, landing on the Shadow Devouring Demon. Shadows spread and intertwined with her, stabilizing her form.

Duan Jie followed closely behind, summoning his own Apostles: the Bullhead Tyrant, Blade Mantis Tyrant, and Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon.

The former, the Bullhead Tyrant, had undergone the Divine Initiation Ritual and metamorphosed into a Bone Claw Ox Demon, fused with a Second-order Superior Claw Inferior Demon from a dimensional rift. With the head of a bull and the body of a man, towering like a demon, his bone claws were as sharp as knives, emanating an especially icy aura.

The Blade Mantis Tyrant hadn't changed, but its strength had reached the limit of Second-order Superior, just short of a Divine Initiation Ritual.

Duan Jie landed on the Bone Claw Ox Demon, then the three Apostles, like Zhao Yaqian, charged into the monster torrent, continuously slaying those creatures.

"Duan Jie, I'll pave the way. Follow me."

Because of the monster invasion, three blocks of defense lines had been burned down, with very few of the Lamp Tree crystals remaining. Only Zhao Yaqian could lead the way to quickly find Third Order Monsters in the mist.

Without the slightest hesitation, Duan Jie immediately said, "Okay."

He quietly activated his talent for Spiritual Beast Transformation, not driving it with full force, but concentrating on a beast's dangerous perception and instinct for combat. His eyes emitted a faint purple glow, and he seemed to cool down. Stay tuned with empire

With the Bone Claw Ox Demon and Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon as the spearhead, he constantly struck down monsters in front of him, following Zhao Yaqian's pace with large strides.

Zhao Yaqian's psychokinetic power locked onto two Holy Helmet Beetles on her left, which were the closest. Eliminating these two creatures would allow one of them to block the monsters while the other dealt with the remaining two.

Third Order Monsters paved the way. Though a large number of monsters blocked their path, attempting to halt the Third Order Apostles such as the Shadow Devouring Demon and Bone Claw Ox Demon and engulf them in the deluge of beasts,

the Blade Beetles lurking within the monster tide surged forward like cold knives, aiming to cut down Zhao Yaqian and Duan Jie.

However, they couldn't escape Zhao Yaqian's perception. As soon as they made their move, they were pinned by the telekinetic blades into their bodies, then crushed by the Shadow Devouring Demon's claw.

"Hsss, hsss"

They broke through two to three hundred meters, but the Holy Helmet Beetles suddenly retreated into the fog, pulling away rapidly.

Zhao Yaqian frowned, spurring her three Apostles to chase after them. If they let the Holy Helmet Beetles escape, they might lose the initiative.

With such creatures lurking in the mist, they couldn't comfortably clear out the monsters.

"Swoosh, swoosh"

With that thought, Zhao Yaqian immediately condensed twenty or thirty telekinetic blades, launching them like arrows, piercing through the fog toward the Holy Helmet Beetles two hundred meters away.

The two Holy Helmet Beetles sensed the danger behind them and immediately turned around, wielding their femur scythes. Two beams of red light met the telekinetic blades. Between the clash of energies, the telekinetic blades instantly shattered.

The telekinetic blades failed, but because the Holy Helmet Beetles' movements were intercepted, the Shadow Devouring Demon reached them, its claws reaching straight for the heads of the two Holy Helmet Beetles.

"Clang"

Femur scythes crossed in front of them, and the Holy Helmet Beetles blocked the strike. But then, the Shadow Armor Tyrant and Blood Bone Ghoul surrounded them.

And just then, Duan Jie arrived, five Third Order facing two Third Order, forming a surrounding formation.

"Let's do this!"
