Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 195
Chapter 195: Bloody Road, God of Murder!
Suddenly, Meng Chao’s smooth movements froze for a moment.
He brought out an object that was the size of a swan’s egg but was as red as a heart from the Will o’ the Wisp Dragon’s carcass.
He used an exploratory needle to poke that strange “heart”. The bloody vines that had not died in the Will o’ the Wisp Dragon’s carcass screeched and started rushing to the “heart”.
Meng Chao dumped the “heart” into condensation stabilizing fluid with a grave expression.
“What happened?” Wu Wu licked away the oily rice at the corners of her mouth, patted her tummy, and came over.
She could see the uneasiness in Meng Chao.
“This is the Blood Flower’s sclerotia. It’s an organ that you can call its heart and brain. It’s the most important thing for a Blood Flower settlement. No matter how many of the raging bacterial flora split up and no matter how large they grow, there’s only one sclerotia. If we destroy the sclerotia, the entire Blood Flower will wither in a short moment and die,” Meng Chao explained.
“But usually, the Blood Flower sclerotia is round. Based on the number of bacterial flora over here, it should also be larger. It should be about the size of my palm. But this one is only the size of half my palm, and it’s oval in shape.”
“So?” Wu Wu narrowed her eyes.
“So, it has recently split up,” Meng Chao explained. “Blood Flowers use fission to make a sclerotia produce bacterial flora. It can keep undergoing fission until it forms thousands of bacterial flora that look like bloody vines, thus creating a huge settlement.
“But the sclerotia usually does not undergo fission, unless the settlement is so large that the host can’t support them. To prevent the death of the host, the sclerotia will split into two, and the second one will search for a new host to form a new settlement.
“Based on the size of this sclerotia, it underwent fission less than three days ago. If it’s within such a short period of time, the two Blood Flower settlements will not be too far apart from each other. It’s so that they can take care of each other until both of them grow up and mature to the point that they can live independently.”
The group felt chills down their spines. “Are you saying that there is another superbeast that has a Blood Flower in it nearby?”
Meng Chao sniffed the smell of blood that was getting stronger in the fog. As he listened to the rustling sound of footsteps, he thought that they sounded like death.
“I’m saying that you should all check your shoelaces and make sure that you’re moving with only a light weight, because we’re going to need to run really quickly later!”
Pairs of red eyes gathered together to form a destructive ocean in the fog. They slowly surged over.
At first glance, they were all normal small monsters. They were gray in color and were known as Swamp Rats.
This glires-type monster liked biting into sturdy materials, including reinforced concrete. They could bite through public roads and skyscrapers that humans built with a lot of effort, but aside from that, they were not very strong.
However, glires-type monsters had insane reproductive abilities, so they were able to form a large rat horde and drown out a monster that was much larger than they were.
Swamp Rats were one of the monsters that normal soldiers and low-grade superhumans did not want to run into in the wild if they did not have a lot of firepower for support.
At that moment, the eyes of the Swamp Rats shone with a fierce light. Their blood vessels bulged out, and their pelts were gone. Terrifying tumors protruded from their bodies.
Quite a number of the tumors had burst open, and thin as well as strange bloody vines crawled out of them, making it clear that they had been infested by Blood Flower bacterial flora.
The group sucked in sharp breaths.
They did not expect that a Blood Flower settlement would have the ability to infest a whole pack of rats.
Regardless of whether it was the specially recruited students or the Four Great Kings, when they faced the raging, blood-red rat horde, they did not hesitate and just ran.
Meng Chao continued kneeling on one knee, and his hands moved even faster than before. His fingers turned into two balls of gray fog, and right before the rat horde, he harvested the last bit of the Will o’ the Wisp Dragon’s carcass.
“Meng Chao?”
The group covered more than one hundred meters in one go. When they saw that Meng Chao was not with them, they looked back, and they found to their absolute shock that he was still in the same place. They did not expect that he would actually be that fearless.
The blood-red rat horde had surrounded him, but his gaze and hands did not waver. He packed away all the materials.
When dozens of Swamp Rats infested by the Blood Flower bacterial flora jumped up and opened their mouths at him, he flung the huge backpack on his back, retrieved the two Surging Lightnings that had been positioned diagonally on the ground, brandished them, and produced silver saber glares that tore the Swamp Rats to shreds before he fled as well.
When he did not move, he was as still as a mountain, but when he attacked, he did it like a mad dog with its tail lit on fire. Meng Chao rushed after the group.
When they were one kilometer away from the battle ground, he was already running alongside Shao Jianqing.
‘Isn’t he too fast? His endurance while running at maximum speed is insane!’
The group was amazed.
Then, they heard slurping sounds and cracking sounds behind them.
When they turned back to look, they noticed countless monsters that had been lurking in the bushes and the marshes jumping out. Wolf Crocodiles, Ghost-arrow Pigs, and Hundred-eyed Toads were among them. They ran together with the students in a panic.
Unfortunately, they were half a step too slow, and they were swallowed by the rat horde, leaving behind large “rat bumps”.
When the rats left them, only white skeletons were left.
This scene sent chills down the students’ spines. Their chests heaved, and they only cared about breathing in fresh air in large gulps. They did not even have the energy to speak.
No, there was one monster who could speak.
While Meng Chao ran, he asked Shao Jianqing and the rest, “So, do you have time to listen to me talk about the Ultimate Style now?”
“Huh?”
Shao Jianqing, Xu Sheng, and Han Xing were shocked. They stared at Meng Chao as if he was not a human, because he was carrying materials that weighed hundreds of kilograms while running madly. Even so, he remained relaxed.
How many lungs did this guy have? After all, he had just fought fiercely against the Blood Flower infested Will o’ the Wisp Dragon!
Meng Chao looked at them patiently. “As you can see, the Ultimate Style is famous for providing great endurance in battle. If we can win against an enemy, we’ll pursue the enemy relentlessly. If we can’t win, we’ll run away. We have incredibly high survivability in battle.
“As new fungus like Blood Flowers, viruses, bacteria, other parasites and mutated forms appear, the Monster War will continue becoming more intense. The monsters in the future will become more and more difficult to deal with, and all sorts of monster hordes will show up endlessly, so you will inevitably run into situations like this. So, it’s very necessary for you to practice the Ultimate Style at least a little bit.”
Wu Wu popped up by the side to show her support. “Yes! Very necessary!”
‘What the heck?’
When Shao Jianqing, Han Xing, and Xu Sheng saw how these two spoke in perfect harmony, they could no longer keep their composure.
“The Ultimate Style might be a brand new martial art that has just been born, but it’s not some evil deviant. It’s a proper martial art that will last for a long time. Just two days ago, we passed the Supernatural Tower’s ISO0050 cultivation system quality verification test.
“As long as you follow the cultivation manual, the risk of you going through spirit energy deviation is very low. It can also perfectly blend with most of the cultivation methods and fighting styles. Regardless of whether you’re a gunslinger, monster controller, machine master, heroic spirit user, or a practitioner of other martial arts, you can learn it.
“You’re the specially recruited students of the alliance of the five universities, and you have special statuses, as well as bright futures. I have here with me a customized set meticulously prepared for you.
“If you come to train in the Ultimate Style cultivation cabin every day for thirty days and show the record of your usage to your circle of friends and social media platforms, we’ll give you a discount of 80% from the cost price of the gene medicine, high-calorie nutritional fluid, and all the other cultivation resources you’ll need to use.
“Don’t worry, Yan Organization is sponsoring this activity, so you will not face any additional charges. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Wu Wu.”
“Yes. I prove it. Really 80% discount, from cost price.”
Wu Wu had been running together with her Ghost Leopard.
But feline-type monsters were made for short-distance sprints. They could not do long-distance runs.
The Ghost Leopard might have been modified genetically, but after running for a few kilometers, it started foaming at the mouth. Its tongue hung out of its mouth, and it started staggering.
Wu Wu decided to just pick it up by its neck and fling it on her shoulder. Then, she just carried the Ghost Leopard as she ran.
When the group saw the Ghost Leopard hunching its shoulders while looking absolutely baffled, Shao Jianqing, Xu Sheng, and Han Xing were all a little dumbfounded.
Was this the power of the Ultimate Style and the strength of branch meridian cultivation?
Suddenly, Duan Lian, who was at the back of the group, screamed.
He was the largest among them, and he was also the slowest. Because he had been distracted for a moment, he stepped into a pit left by a glires-type monster that had crawled out of the ground. He sprained his ankle and fell to the ground.
Two Swamp Rats seized the change to jump on him, and they bit his butt.
Even though he had a biochemical fighting suit, it still hurt so much that he screamed.
When Meng Chao heard his scream, he hesitated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and turned back.
“I’m sorry about last time, so take this as an apology for it. If there’s a next time, you’re going to have to pray to God!”
Meng Chao kicked away two Swamp Rats and yanked Duan Lian up by the shirt to toss him at Xie Feng and the rest. Then, he removed his military-grade backpack and tossed it to them as well.
He drew his Surging Lightnings and faced the aggressive rat horde.
“Come on!” Meng Chao gritted his teeth while he thought fiercely. ‘Looks like the northern offense failed in my previous life because of the appearance of these Blood Flowers. Most of the monsters got infested, and their fighting strength jumped up by leaps and bounds.
“But I won’t let you have it your way in this lifetime!”
Whoooooosh!
With the additional strength provided by the Ultimate Style, he executed the future One Hundred Saber Techniques to their limit!
“What a frenzied saber technique!”
The specially recruited students and Four Great Kings witnessed the other side of the Ultimate Style.
If Meng Chao had spent most of his time against the Will o’ the Wisp Dragon spinning around like a top to dodge it, right now, he allowed the people to understand what was the true meaning of being a mook harvesting machine.
The two sabers in his hands turned into two tornadoes of death that intersected with each other. The air surged to create a powerful suction force that sucked in the Swamp Rats into the torrent of blades, and they were torn to shreds.
Countless Swamp Rats shoved at each other to pounce at Meng Chao, fearless of death, but he was patient. He also had the endurance to grant their wish of an early death.
In just a short moment, a bloody trail covered in carcasses was by his feet.
And as he walked down this bloody trail boldly, he looked like a God of Death who fought his way out of Hell!
