【Name: Rotting Behemoth】
【Origin: A twisted product formed by rotting beasts devouring each other and mutating. The homeland has turned to scorched earth; to survive, one must only consume one another! When a hungry rotting beast devours more than ten corpses of its own kind, its flesh boils and reorganizes within its body, eventually tearing through its shell to become this deformed existence pieced together by corruption and greed. Every inch of its body is slowly festering, yet it is constantly reborn within that festering, much like this land itself, which has long since lost all signs of life.】
【Weakness: ...I think you are being a bit too cautious; just go for it.】
Cheng Shuili: "???"
What?
She stood where she was, reading the text after the weakness description again in disbelief.
What was this saying? Had her Abyss Ring rebelled? It had sounded professional the first time it stated a weakness, but the second time, it had started getting very casual!
And now this!
It wasn't saying anything at all, just urging her to attack.
That was really not good news.
While Cheng Shuili was still lamenting that the Abyss Ring was becoming increasingly anthropomorphic, the Rotting Behemoth that had been waiting for a long time on the opposite side could no longer wait and launched an attack!
The moment its disgusting mouthparts were about to touch Cheng Shuili, a long blade sliced through the center of its body, and the next moment, the system notification popped up abruptly.
【Congratulations to player Cheng Shuili for killing the normal monster Rotting Behemoth and obtaining 20 points!】
Huh?
Cheng Shuili frowned. This thing looked terrifying, but it was unexpectedly easy to deal with when she actually fought it?
Moreover, the sensation just now, the moment the long blade pierced into the monster's body, was almost identical to the feeling of cutting through an energy stone!
This was definitely the most fragile monster Cheng Shuili had ever encountered since she began surviving.
However, it was worth noting that the corpse of the Rotting Behemoth did not disappear directly but turned into a puddle of something like mud, sticking to the scorched earth in a gooey mass, looking exceptionally disgusting.
But Cheng Shuili breathed a sigh of relief.
This matched what Glory had said.
When she first saw the appearance of this monster, she had thought that only elite monsters would drop nutrient soil; she hadn't expected Glory's description to be about what the monster looked like after being killed.
Cheng Shuili used her long blade to poke at the sticky, gooey mess, rummaging for quite a while before finding a small handful of nutrient soil.
Cheng Shuili sighed; this was something she would have to get her hands dirty for.
After successfully collecting it, Cheng Shuili proceeded to take down several more Rotting Behemoths.
The Abyss Ring was absolutely right; she just needed to go for it, but the excellent quality of caution certainly couldn't be abandoned.
After successfully killing another Rotting Behemoth, Cheng Shuili crouched down to collect the nutrient soil while thinking: "Now there definitely won't be a shortage of this material. At this rate, in four hours, I'll definitely be able to farm several hundred portions or more!"
While Cheng Shuili's monster-farming journey was exceptionally smooth, Zhao Hong on the other side was having a harder and harder time.
Due to his previous unauthorized actions, he was now completely an unwelcome character within the organization. Almost everyone he could come into contact with was making things difficult for him!
For items that should have been distributed according to regulations, when they reached him, the distribution staff would intentionally hold them up and even make sarcastic remarks, saying things like: "Isn't this our big celebrity from Partition 666? How did you end up like this now?"
There were even those who insulted him directly: "What kind of thing do you think you are? If it weren't for having a bit of fame and holding some of everyone's supplies, you wouldn't even be on any leaderboard! I've been annoyed with you for a long time! You should just stay exactly like this forever!"
Zhao Hong listened to it all and silently noted it all down.
Nothing remains unchanged.
Yes.
He was the same.
He remained in the organization now only waiting for a suitable opportunity, a suitable opportunity to leave the organization without facing any retaliation!
Such opportunities were too rare.
Zhao Hong had too many supplies in his hands.
There were too many people who were jealous, envious, and those he had offended while serving as the spokesperson! There were simply too many people who wanted him dead.
The current deadlock was his opportunity!
He had to find a way to survive and find a better path for himself to keep living!
For him, Glory was truly a good choice.
But why would Glory want him?
He had given Glory a blueprint and a vehicle card, but that was in exchange for information! And Glory had never forgotten that trade.
If he wanted to defect, he had to show some other value!
Zhao Hong hadn't relaxed for the past few days. Every day, he spent 12 hours driving, all to drive out something good. Unfortunately... in this terrible world, effort didn't always lead to a harvest.
Zhao Hong sighed again, thinking about another matter he had to deal with regarding people in the organization today, and subconsciously sighed once more.
Cheng Shuili's journey wasn't entirely smooth sailing either.
After slicing open another Rotting Behemoth, a violent movement suddenly came from underground.
Cheng Shuili immediately thought of the description: "When an individual consumes too many remains of its own kind, it mutates into a Brood Mother!"
In other words, an elite monster had just spawned underground!
The slight squirming of the Brood Mother brought tremors to the earth. Cheng Shuili found it hard to imagine the size of this thing, but the vibration was enough to remind her that this elite monster was definitely not a soft persimmon that was easy to handle like the Rotting Behemoth.
Cheng Shuili stood her ground in a defensive posture and waited for a while; this was something she had learned from Su Rui.
But soon, she realized how stupid she had been!
Since that elite monster wasn't coming up, why was she just waiting around?
Continue killing Rotting Behemoths!
Cheng Shuili's boot heels crushed the scorched earth as her long blade drew a silver arc.
After several more Rotting Behemoths turned into goo, the entire earth suddenly surged like waves.
She stumbled and fell to one knee, steadying herself with a hand on the ground. As soon as she looked up, she saw a hill-like bulge rising thirty meters away.
Cheng Shuili rubbed her eyes, confirming that it hadn't been there a moment ago, and a bright light instantly erupted in her eyes.
This was the Brood Mother! This was 80 points!
80 points!
Here she came!
Cheng Shuili stood up and took a few quick steps. After getting closer, before she could do anything, she saw a shocking sight.
The surface of that mountain of flesh, formed by the fusion of countless Rotting Behemoths, was covered with squirming mouthparts, and half-digested limbs of their own kind hung from every mouth.
And those devoured monster remains were actually reorganizing inside the Brood Mother, squeezed out from the mountain of flesh like inflated balloons, becoming new Rotting Behemoths the moment they landed.
"So that's how they are generated."
The scene was truly terrifying. Cheng Shuili found it disgusting, yet she couldn't help but want to watch.
After witnessing the birth of a Rotting Behemoth with her own eyes, she finally discovered the key point.
This "Brood Mother" didn't seem to actively attack people?
From the moment she had stood here, the only things crawling toward her were those vulnerable Rotting Behemoths.
