67: Chapter 67 Industrial Zone

Chapter 67 Industrial Zone

Before Wang Ting could carefully figure out what was going on with the shotgun that had suddenly spawned on the vine tree, the Vine Skull beside him had already charged at him like a furious beast.

Feeling a fierce wind attacking his side, Wang Ting instantly felt anger rising in his heart, and he directly threw a punch, his sandbag-sized fist clashing against the Vine Skull's massive, millstone-sized fist.

As the two fists collided with a snapping sound, the Vine Skull's pillar-like arm was actually shattered by the sheer force of the punch, with bone splinters piercing through the flesh, looking terrifyingly gruesome.

The Vine Skull flew backward, directly crashing into another Vine Skull and sending it staggering.

Not letting up while he had the upper hand, Wang Ting leaped directly onto the Vine Skull.

Exerting force with his feet like a heavy plummet, his terrifying strength erupted at that moment, and with a crisp snap, the Vine Skull's chest cavity was caved in by his stomp.

Wielding his blade like a guillotine from top to bottom, he directly slashed off the Vine Skull's head with a single stroke.

By the time the other Vine Skull counterattacked, its companion had already been decapitated.

At this moment, fresh blood slid across the tip of the vine skull tyrant blade and dripped down.

Clearly a berserk monster, the Vine Skull nevertheless instinctively felt terror when facing Wang Ting's current posture.

Wang Ting cast his gaze toward the Vine Skull, and regardless of its current panic, the vine skull tyrant blade in his hand transformed into a vine blade, shooting straight out like a green ray of light and instantly piercing through its heart.

Having killed two Vine Skulls in succession.

Wang Ting's peripheral vision immediately glanced toward the huge vine tree, eagerly wanting to know the spawn rules of this supply point.

Sure enough, as the two Vine Skulls were slain, a second and third fruit slowly grew on the vine tree.

When the fruits grew to a certain extent, their red outer shells split open sideways and fell off, revealing the things inside.

On the left were large cans of meat, numbering three or four, while on the right was a box of compressed dry rations.

"Killing monsters will refresh supplies, so that is how it is————"

Seeing this, Wang Ting's expression turned joyful, his murderous intent deepening as he charged directly to attack the Vine Parasite Corpses surrounding him.

The vines surged and coiled continuously like giant pythons, snapping the spines of the Vine Parasite Corpses, piercing into their oral cavities, and tearing apart their internal organs.

Within a radius of dozens of meters centered on Wang Ting, the vines attacked frantically.

Taking advantage of the gap while the Vine Parasite Corpses were entangled by the vines, he continuously wielded the vine skull tyrant blade to slaughter them one by one.

Charging and killing continuously, Wang Ting's footsteps became increasingly steady as he headed straight for that Vine Spider Nurse.

The Vine Spider Nurse seemed to have discovered that the target of this monster, Wang Ting, was actually itself; instead of pouncing on him, it actually turned around and rushed toward the wall.

Rumble—

The Vine Spider Nurse actually smashed through the wall and fled outward.

Wang Ting instantly showed a look of astonishment.

He hadn't expected the Vine Spider Nurse to actually run away; such a vicious monster actually had such a side to it.

Decisive as ever, he instantly activated Earth Vine Spike, piercing through all the Vine Parasite Corpses around him.

Although they were not all killed yet, a large open space was cleared out in an instant.

Without a moment of hesitation, with a thought in his mind, he fiercely chased in the direction the Vine Spider Nurse fled.

The Vine Spider Nurse was an elite individual, and its body was almost guaranteed to drop Extraordinary materials.

If he was a bit lucky, he might even find an Extraordinary Core on it.

Naturally, Wang Ting wouldn't let the Vine Spider Nurse run away just like that.

Leaving the Vine Parasite Corpses behind, he immediately strode out in pursuit through the large hole smashed by the Vine Spider Nurse.

Striding meteorically and pursuing fiercely, his entire body was like a black panther shuttling through a jungle intertwined with steel and vines, pursuing its prey.

What was even faster than him was the Vine Spider Nurse; its spider legs constantly swung and crossed, with every step spanning a distance of over a zhang.

Although its figure was tall, it didn't appear clumsy at all when running; instead, it was light and nimble, actually being a notch faster than Wang Ting.

Man and monster darted hundreds of meters amidst the chase, crossing two blocks.

Wang Ting watched helplessly as the Vine Spider Nurse's figure gradually moved away, growing smaller and smaller, before disappearing at the end of the road in the blink of an eye.

"Speed————"

Wang Ting muttered under his breath, feeling somewhat annoyed, but he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and locked his gaze on the end of the road.

The Vine Spider Nurse could run away, but it couldn't run away from its temple; Vine Town was only this big, and he would catch it sooner or later.

Wang Ting already saw a blue iron sign hanging high by the roadside: 300 meters ahead, Geer Hardware Factory.

"It actually entered the Industrial Zone————"

Wang Ting walked forward along the road.

After entering the Industrial Zone, the surrounding houses gradually became sparse, and large patches of wasteland were everywhere.

He walked two to three hundred meters along the road and came to a place dense with vines.

Vines covered the entire factory area, and a huge metal sign hung above the enclosure wall.

The enclosure wall, about three meters high, was clung to by thick vines.

Amidst the gaps covered by the vines, the dilapidation of the wall revealed faint traces of mottled walls and cracks of varying depths.

The factory area's metal gates had been smashed open, and everything inside the courtyard was clear at a glance.

A medium-height old-fashioned building stood erect with exposed red bricks and rusty metal stairs.

Through the aging windows and rusty clothes racks in the corridor, it wasn't hard to guess that upstairs were the dormitories for the hardware factory's boss and employees, while the rooms downstairs were slightly larger, looking like a place for working.

Opposite this building was a huge workshop built with sheet iron and light steel materials, about five or six meters high and about thirty meters wide.

The roof and surrounding walls were all made of sheet metal.

Although not completely corroded at this moment, they were old enough, and the roof was covered with thick vines, as if they were about to crush the metal roof flat.

"Such a small scale, I wonder if there is anything inside————"

Wang Ting swept his gaze across the surroundings and immediately walked into Geer Hardware Factory along the traces smashed open by the Vine Spider Nurse at the gate.

Crossing the gate, his gaze was locked onto that huge workshop built with an iron shed at the very first instance.

The roll-up door of the workshop had been broken open, looking as if it had been forcefully ripped apart with a huge gap resembling a scar.

Wang Ting entered along the gap.

Just as his figure stepped across, pitch-black vines attacked him, and he immediately controlled his vines to intertwine with them.

A low roar came from not far away, and Wang Ting fixed his eyes to look—it was precisely the Vine Spider Nurse.

He didn't have a shred of surprise.

Although the Vine Spider Nurse was hidden extremely well and made no rustling vibration sounds, under his vine perception, he could still detect the other party's presence.

Wang Ting moved to charge and kill toward it, while the Vine Spider Nurse raised its tall spider legs to attack him.

The spider legs swung out like long spears, moving at an extremely fast speed with faint afterimages.

Wang Ting's physical fitness was no longer what it used to be, and his perceptive ability to capture movements was even more powerful.

Dodging with his body, he directly wielded the vine skull tyrant blade to slash and hack against those spider legs.

Clanging sounds rang out continuously, leaving deep blade marks on the spider legs.

Although he failed to cleave them apart, the pain also made the Vine Spider Nurse increasingly frantic.

On one hand, Wang Ting controlled the vines to coil toward the Vine Spider Nurse's body, and on the other hand, he continued his attacks.

Sensing danger, the Vine Spider Nurse dodged left and right, continuously sweeping with the pitch-black tentacles on its back to block the vines' advance.

However, the vines Wang Ting could control were simply too numerous; massive amounts of vines, like dark green pythons, coiled around the Vine Spider Nurse from all directions.

After exchanging blows for just a moment, the Vine Spider Nurse had already fallen into crisis.

It wanted to directly assassinate Wang Ting's main body, but this time Wang Ting had pulled back the distance.

Earth Vine Spike!

With its figure restricted, the Vine Spider Nurse was immediately taken aback when faced with the suddenly erupting thorn spikes and wanted to leap away.

But how could the vines give it a chance?

By then, they had already bound its spider legs and climbed onto its human-like torso.

The Vine Spider Nurse struggled to dodge, but half of the thorn spikes still pierced through its body.

Corrosive blood dripped down onto the ground, making a sizzling sound as shrill shrieks came from the Vine Spider Nurse's mouth.

At this moment, Wang Ting's expression suddenly changed, because from outside the factory, dense vibrations were unexpectedly transmitted over.

"There are still monsters outside?"

His heart tightened as he looked at the Vine Spider Nurse, his gaze as cold as a blade.

He flew over; the Vine Spider Nurse still wanted to dodge, but the vine skull tyrant blade had already been swung down, cleaving down with a single slash to hack the Vine Spider Nurse directly to death.

Wang Ting quickly controlled the vines to rummage through the Vine Spider Nurse's body materials, directly cutting off four or five materials.

Inside the Vine Spider Nurse's chest cavity, there was also a dark ink-colored crystal, which he directly took away.

Wang Ting's figure quickly retreated from the factory.

At this moment, the low roars outside merged into one piece, and the rustling friction sounds were like wave after wave rising and falling.

When Wang Ting came out and looked, his heart was shocked.

A massive amount of Parasitic Fungus Vines were surging overwhelmingly toward the hardware processing factory.

The number was far more than several hundred, and at a glance, it was an entire ocean of green.

Deep within that group of Parasitic Fungus Vines, Wang Ting saw a behemoth.

Five meters tall with distorted limbs, it was practically a huge meat ball condensed from vines and flesh.

That meat ball unexpectedly took the shape of a human head, staring straight at Wang Ting with both eyes as it let out a roar akin to that from hell.

Thump, thump, thump!

As many as four or five Vine Skulls charged out from the other factories in the Industrial Zone, launching an assault.

Two Vine Spider Nurses were also among the horde of monsters, flanking from left and right with greedy and ferocious gazes.
