Chapter 95: Undercurrents

Liao Shan nodded. "We will blow this place up tomorrow and evacuate at the first opportunity. Huangyan Town is calculating too greedily, wanting to grab every good thing for themselves, so they can't blame themselves for bursting their stomachs from overeating."

Ruan Chen swept his gaze across the surrounding environment of Silent Desolate Town and curled his lips. "It's letting them off too easy. It was already on the verge of a reset; with an explosion like this, accumulating enough slaughter value will probably accelerate the reset."

"It's best if it can reset."

Liao Shan was unconcerned. His goal was never to reset or seize the Infinite Building, but to make the people of Huangyan Town think someone was making trouble with the Infinite Building.

Making a feint to the east while attacking in the west was his true purpose.

"Let's go."

Black liquid like asphalt surged over his body, emerging from his skin, and then he executed the four restricted Giant Claw Night Demons one by one.

[Giant Claw Night Demon cataloging progress: 35%]

After the kills, the black water gradually vanished, revealing the inherently ferocious appearance of the Giant Claw Night Demons. They stood over a zhang tall with stalwart muscles, and their beastly claws were as large as millstones. Their sharp claws alone were like pitch-black daggers, taking up the majority of their palm length.

Ruan Chen, Zhong Yi, and the other four skillfully produced daggers and began disassembling the four Giant Claw Night Demons, soon harvesting several extraordinary materials from them.

After the disassembly, each packed away their extraordinary materials and left the place separately.

Wang Ting watched the entire process from the shadows. Waiting for the five to leave and the source of vibration to continuously recede, he finally stepped out from the hidden alley.

"One Tier 1 extraordinary, four second-time limit-breakers, and that power of black water—Old Man Lu's intelligence didn't record a single bit of it. Could that old man be trying to screw me over?"

He frowned slightly. Although Old Man Lu didn't say that his records covered all extraordinary paths in this area, no matter how incomplete they were, it was unlikely he would miss an active extraordinary.

You must know that even in Fisherman Town, where no extraordinaries existed, the extraordinary paths that had once appeared there were recorded by him.

Wang Ting walked briskly to the vicinity of the church, right beside the corpse of a Giant Claw Night Demon. He did not proceed to disassemble it himself; having watched that group's disassembly just now, his cataloging progress had already increased quite a bit.

Even if he acted himself now, it wouldn't increase much more.

He searched around. In the pitch-black, dilapidated church, there were simply too many places to hide things.

Fortunately, hard work pays off; Wang Ting finally found that thing at the base of the wall behind the church cross—a bomb.

The bomb was not small; this bomb alone was enough to destroy the entire church.

"They planted bombs in every area. Such a massive undertaking—are they truly not afraid of forging a mortal grudge?"

Although the Infinite Building possessed the characteristic of being indestructible, that applied to the Infinite Building as a whole, not necessarily the things within the Floor World.

After a large-scale explosion, what kind of changes it would ultimately trigger was anyone's guess.

"I'll finish off a Giant Claw Night Demon and then retreat."

Wang Ting made a prompt decision and moved quickly through Silent Desolate Town. Under his Vibration Perception, most of the monsters were within his grasp.

Soon, he discovered the activity track of a Giant Claw Night Demon.

He rapidly closed in. This particular Giant Claw Night Demon used the entire school as its territory.

The six-story teaching building was largely concealed in pitch black, its dark red walls looking as if they were soaked in blood. Behind one shattered window after another, gazes like blood-colored flames suddenly focused on Wang Ting.

At the top of the teaching building, the tall Giant Claw Night Demon had already discovered Wang Ting entering the school.

"Roar—"

The Giant Claw Night Demon let out a roar, and the sounds echoed back and forth. The remaining glass windows were shattered at that moment by Night Demons and Bat-bees rushing out from the windows. Along the walls, they swarmed in groups to charge at Wang Ting on the playground.

The Giant Claw Night Demon took the lead, bringing over a hundred Night Demons and Bat-bees to surround him in a dark mass.

A large number of vines projected out from the Vine Core Space, resembling countless dancing octopus tentacles. The Bat-bees charged in first, but were batted away by the vines, rolling heavily onto the ground.

The following Night Demons rushed into the cluster of vines, their sharp claws continuously tearing and snapping the vines.

They charged in like sharp daggers, penetrating deep into the heart of the vine cluster in an instant, just five meters away from Wang Ting.

But this distance of five meters became an insurmountable chasm, difficult to cross.

The vines constricted and strangled, the sound of breaking bones endlessly echoing. A large swath of them was killed in a single encounter.

Carrying the vine skull tyrant blade, Wang Ting took the initiative to slaughter his way into the monster group. Night Demons and Bat-bees frantically pounced on him, but the moment they moved, blade light slashed across their bodies, causing large chunks of flesh to fall.

Rushing downstairs, the Giant Claw Night Demon instantly saw the scene of Wang Ting's massive slaughter and abruptly hit the brakes. Its massive figure seemed to fall into a state of vigilance, trembling slightly and emitting a low roaring sound.

The Giant Claw Night Demon instinctively sensed fear. Wang Ting cast a cold glance and swiftly charged forward.

"Roar!"

The Giant Claw Night Demon roared as if making a last stand, its form leaping forward as its giant claws descended like a falling guillotine.

"Clang—"

Wang Ting raised a hand with his blade, the vine skull tyrant blade striking straight upward with a harsh, loud crash. The next moment, the bone claws snapped.

The vine skull tyrant blade followed the momentum upward, splitting the Giant Claw Night Demon in half with a single slash.

The Night Demons and Bat-bees instantly fell into chaos. Ignoring their confusion, Wang Ting rushed into the group of Night Demons, summoning countless piercing thorns to slaughter every single one of them.

[Successfully cataloged low-level anomalous entity Giant Claw Night Demon, obtained 400 monster points.]

monster points: 855

"It's finally dead."

Having killed the Giant Claw Night Demon, Wang Ting's monster points surged significantly, though he was now in a rush to get out of Silent Desolate Town.

The vines stirred up the remains of these Night Demons and Bat-bees, swiftly disassembling extraordinary materials from them. Among the more than one hundred low-level anomalous monsters, mostly ordinary individuals along with the elite Giant Claw Night Demon, the final count of extraordinary materials obtained was only thirteen.

Taking the extraordinary materials, Wang Ting immediately headed back to the entrance/exit.

"So many harvests?!"

The soldier at the entrance could not help widening his eyes upon seeing that Wang Ting had a total of seventeen extraordinary materials.

You must know that even when some powerful squads went in, after a day or two, they would get around ten to twenty extraordinary materials, not to mention the consumption of bullets during that time.

Unlike Wang Ting, who went in light and managed to reap so much, which truly felt surprising.

"Bad luck, ran into two Giant Claw Night Demons."

The soldier: ————

You call that bad luck, but the Giant Claw Night Demons were probably completely disassembled, and their corpses are right here.

The soldier's tone instantly softened somewhat. Being able to kill two Giant Claw Night Demons proved that this person was at least a second-time limit-breaker warrior.

This also explained the source of the extraordinary materials. After all, an elite individual like a Giant Claw Night Demon would almost always yield two or three extraordinary materials.

"Seventeen, not quite twenty. Well, let's count it as two—we'll take two extraordinary materials, and you keep the rest."

Wang Ting nodded, took the bag, and walked straight toward the direction of the plaza.

"Another one coming for the extraordinary potion."

The soldier muttered under his breath. Wang Ting arrived at where the motorcade was stationed, preparing to call Ren Chuan, Xiang Nan, and the others to leave the black market a step ahead to avoid being entangled in trouble.

They hadn't stuck their heads out yet, and withdrawing right after trading arms wouldn't seem out of place.

However, as soon as he returned, he saw Ren Chuan and Xiang Nan rushing over with solemn expressions: "Boss, Deputy Commander Liu Song of Huangyan Town wants to meet you."
