Squeaks from gigantic cockroaches filled the underground pipeline as they were burnt by the fire . The chaotic squeals completely drowned out all other noise, even the sound of their leader…
The fire burned fiercely, accompanied by columns of thick smoke . Gao Peng covered his nose, coughing as he retreated .
The fire was really fierce, and it seemed to have burnt off much of the oxygen in the air, causing him to have difficulty breathing .
Gao Peng saw a cockroach that was double the size of the other gigantic cockroaches ordering the other cockroaches anxiously . He presumed that it was their leader .
Gao Peng's eyes lit up . "Stripey!" This giant cockroach was only level 18, and its grade was only Excellent .
Stripey was completely capable of implementing its decapitation tactics on cockroaches .
Stripey shook its claws lightly and rampaged straight towards the cockroaches as if it was a tank .
All the gigantic cockroaches along the way were thrown off by Stripey's hard outer shell . As its claws rose up and swept sideways, several gigantic cockroaches were sent flying . The other few bent their limbs downward and sprang up high as their limbs tightened as much as they could .
Although quite a few were burned by the fire, a large number of them were still in rest mode, so when they suddenly saw Stripey barging in, they were instantly spurred on and rushed forward fiercely .
They moved towards and hit Stripey's shell like raindrops, making muffled sounds .
The intense and continuous attacks only left insignificant white marks on Stripey's hard shell . The method of attacking these gigantic cockroaches was monotonous; it was simply tearing with the mouth and attacking with tiny sharp claws . The cockroaches relied on their numbers .
A Perfect Grade Commander tier's defense completely overwhelmed the group of gigantic cockroaches .
This was not a game, and there was no such thing as a forced armor break that caused a drop in health points .
If one couldn't break through the defense, then they would never be able to cause any harm .
Breaking a stone through water droplets also required a certain time frame .
Gao Peng frowned, for he sensed that it was gradually becoming more difficult to breathe . Although Shifting Constellations could divert damage, he didn't want totest if the damage of not being able to breath could be diverted . Although the underground sewers had ventilation facilities, the loss of oxygen for even a short period was not something that could be replaced in a short amount of time .
Retreating backward, he moved some distance away from the battlefield .
Stripey rushed to the front of the gigantic cockroach leader and lifted up its spider claws fiercely, as if it was surrounding the gigantic cockroach with iron rods, forming a cage that trapped the gigantic cockroach in the center .
No matter how hard the gigantic cockroach tried, it just couldn't escape Stripey's grip .
With its head lowered, the tip of Stripey's tail and mouth ejected a large amount of spider silk . There was no way to avoid it at such a short distance .
Finally, Stripey brutally bit off the gigantic cockroach leader's head .
Even though gigantic cockroaches' healing ability was abnormally powerful, and their vitality was extremely stubborn, nevertheless, losing their heads meant death .
Without their leader, the morale of the rest of gigantic cockroaches dropped, and they ran for their lives .
It seemed like these gigantic cockroaches were the cause of the factory's accident . It was just hard to figure out why the gigantic cockroaches had surrounded and blocked the alloy door . Once the water of the flood gates was released, they would flock towards the door, facing the current while moving upstream .
The numbers were there . One to two of them would have coincidentally rushed into the door .
Gao Peng could imagine what had happened after that .
Stripey suddenly squealed loudly with its mouth wide open, sounding as if it was in agony . Then it knocked against the wall continuously .
"What's the matter, Stripey?" Gao Peng enquired quickly .
Full of fear, Stripey replied, "Something is moving in my mouth, it's moving, it's moving . "
Had that cockroach's head transcended into a higher being? Gao Peng was shocked .
While comforting Stripey nonstop, Gao Peng was able to clearly see what was in Stripey's mouth; it was a bunch of earthworms that were wriggling constantly .
[Monster Name]: Dark Dodder (Parasitic Sub-body)
[Monster Level]: Level 19
[Monster Grade]: Perfect
[Monster Attribute]: Dark
[Monster Hobby]: Eat Metal
[Monster Weakness]: Hates Sunshine
[Parasitic Characteristic]: Suck up blood and fat beneath the skin of host as nutrition . Enable the host to recover their physical strength, repair their inner wounds, and upgrade their outer skin's defensive power .
Yet another type of parasitic plant .
Gao Peng's face twitched slightly .
The grade of this parasitic plant was rather good, and its strengthening attributes weren't bad either .
Recuperating the physical strength of the parasitic host was equivalent to increasing its ability to continue in combat . Enabling internal healing was also considered a healing effect . Upgrading external defensive power meant a direct increase in combat strength .
All in all, these abilities were rather useful .
"Come here, Flamy," What was urgent at that moment was to remove the Dark Dodder from Stripey's mouth .
Stripey's defensive power was strong, but only its external shell . If this Dark Dodder made it into its brain, it could be rather troublesome .
Naively, Flamy was tricked into coming over . Gao Peng looked at Flamy and sighed, "Sorry . "
Feelings of ominous dread rose from the bottom of Flamy's heart .
Gao Peng couldn't help but pat Flamy's head . "You're still very young, yet you have so much to bear…"
Flamy looked at its master, puzzled, as it wondered why its master's expressions looked so terrifying .
The next scene caused Da Zi's eyes to squirm . It turned its head, not bearing to look at it directly, and glanced at it with its small eyes secretly .
Flamy's trim beak cut inside as if it were a double handled surgical scalpel .
Finally, Flamy's beak grabbed onto a bunch of black silk threads that kept wriggling and squirming in Stripey's mouth and pulled them out .
Leaving Stripey's mouth, Flamy spat the black silk threads on the ground, then it leaned against the wall and vomited until its face was green .
Anyone who saw or heard it would be affected by the misery from its voice and the brutality of the movements . "Cough, Stripey, then we'll see that you aren't in the habit of rinsing your mouth regularly," Gao Peng scolded Stripey .
Stripey squealed woefully .
Gao Peng coughed twice; he had been at his wit's end just now, since only Flamy had such an ability .
The Dark Dodder that had been thrown on the ground looked like rolls of messy hair, with black-bean-like things scattered unevenly on the black hair strands .
Initially, the Dark Dodder squirmed viciously on the ground, then with great caution, it escaped . Gao Peng pretended not to see it and instructed his familiars to ignore it .
Only when the Dark Dodder had travelled a distance away did Gao Peng signal for them to catch up with it . With Da Zi's sharp smelling ability, he presumed that the approximated route wouldn't be too far off the mark .
They met some other monsters along the way, but their levels weren't high, just of a normal grade . Gao Peng didn't bother with them . He only depended on the breaths released by Da Zi that were sufficiently making these monsters evade them on their own .
After walking for half an hour, making right and left turns in the sewer, they faintly heard the sound of flowing water .
The sound grew louder and louder . It seemed like the underground water converged in a point somewhere in front of them . Water flowed from several places and merged in this hall, and because of the quick flow, a whirlpool was formed .
Along with this came a strong and terrible stench .
