Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 304 - 201 As long as the money is in place, Nightmare Level annihilates (Extra 4000 words)
Swallowing a Great Replenishing Pill into his lower belly, my fate lies in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven!
For Qin Shou, this was exactly how he felt right now.
Mysterious energy coursed through his limbs and body, the tingling sensation mixed with a sharp pain gradually shifted from his upper body to his legs, rapidly strengthening the muscles in his legs. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Zzz zzz zzz..."
At this moment, sapphire-blue currents emerged on the surface of his body, wrapped by the mysterious energy and surged into his legs, causing the bulging muscles of his thighs to slowly return to their original form.
After a while, the tingling and pain completely vanished, and before he realized it, Qin Shou was drenched in sweat.
He wiped away the beads of sweat from his forehead, stretched his body, and smiled joyfully.
"As expected of the alien beast gifted by the principal. Although Shengsheng is said to enhance speed when consumed, this is clearly far more than just that."
The Great Replenishing Pill’s strengthening effect on his legs was utterly shocking. In just a few minutes, his leg strength was enhanced to the level of Vajra Eighth Star!
By the standards of fantasy lore, Qin Shou now qualifies as a "Half-step Vajra Eighth Star."
His upper body retained Vajra Seven Star strength, while his lower body had reached Vajra Eighth Star power.
Hmm... it felt a little strange.
But no matter. Qin Shou didn’t mind.
After all, men conquer the world with their lower bodies!
With the current power in his legs, amplified by his armor, he could kick a Horrible Nine-star Monster to death with ease.
Had alien beast meat not been a one-time enhancement, Qin Shou might have been able to strengthen his legs to the Unbreakable Realm.
What a pity—such good fortune doesn’t exist in this world.
Qin Shou sighed and dove into the underwater Space Channel.
An hour later, just as he left the Mutant Nest, his communicator buzzed with an incoming video request.
"Qin Shou, there’s trouble in West City." Yu Shusheng sounded anxious.
Qin Shou furrowed his brow, "What happened?"
"Here’s the situation: a Nightmare-level plant monster has emerged from the Space Channel beneath West City’s underground fault. I suspect some of those guys failed to cooperate and are sabotaging us." Yu Shusheng’s face was grim.
"Nightmare-level plant monster... those blood-red tree branches?" Qin Shou asked.
"Exactly, Qin Shou. How did you know?"
"I’ve encountered them before. With a Nightmare-level monster appearing in West City, has the Federation Main City been contacted for assistance?"
Yu Shusheng shook his head and sighed, "The message has been sent, but there’s no response from the Federation Main City. It’s likely been ignored completely."
Qin Shou’s expression turned grim, "I never thought the Federation had sunk to this level—those guys accepted bribes and are allowing Nightmare-level monsters to break into the city without resistance."
"So, Qin Shou, now the only option is for you to request aid from the Long Family or the Beast Cultivation Main City," Yu Shusheng said hopefully.
Qin Shou frowned deeply, "What’s the current situation? How long can West City hold out against that Nightmare-level monster?"
Yu Shusheng looked despondent, "Although the Nightmare-level monster is still probing with its branches and hasn’t fully invaded the underground fault, even so, West City cannot hold out for long without a strong Unbreakable Realm fighter."
Hearing this, Qin Shou smacked the greedy snake’s neck, directing it toward the nearest Transmission Array.
"Principal, hold on as long as you can. I have a solution to deal with it—wait for me!"
With that, Qin Shou shut off the communicator. The greedy snake burst forth with golden energy, its speed spiking as it flew toward the Transmission Array.
Given the current situation, even if he contacted Yan Bo, with his severely injured state, he couldn’t possibly make it to West City in time.
As for the Beast Cultivation Main City, reaching Qin Long to dispatch an Unbreakable Realm fighter to West City would cost as much time as Qin Shou traveling there himself.
...
West City, at the underground fault.
"Whizz whizz whizz..."
From the Space Gate, dozens of blood-red tree branches shot out explosively, effortlessly piercing through the fault’s rocks and crazily surging toward the surface of West City.
"Boom boom boom..."
On the surface streets, people had already evacuated, but the roads were destroyed by ravaging energy, while shops and buildings on either side were consumed by the flames of war.
Both ends of the street were lined with guard teams wielding energy weapons, their firearms spewing fire as they shot toward the blood-red tree branches.
In midair, swarms of guards operated mechas and beast cultivations, unleashing their firepower relentlessly as energies clashed with the blood-red branches erupting from the ground, triggering explosions of dazzling light.
Yet, these blood-red branches were astoundingly resilient, often enduring an entire round of bombardment only to press forward with terrifying energy, claiming multiple lives.
Not far away, Yu Shusheng, Qiao Jianshan, and Zuo Dahong piloted their beast cultivations and mechas as they fired on the blood-red branches, their hearts growing increasingly anxious.
"Old Yu, where’s that boy? Why isn’t he here yet?"
"He said he’s almost there. Let’s hold on for now..."
"Almost there? You know full well that our West City’s ’almost there,’ ’soon,’ or ’two minutes’ are all vague timeframes! Who knows how long it’ll really take..."
"Why are you blabbering so much? If we don’t wait for that boy to find reinforcements, West City is truly done for."
"Dammit, last year it was the Flame Dragon, now we’re dealing with vindictive monsters. West City’s fate is endlessly grim..."
"There are countless examples of cities destroyed by monsters in recent years. Stop whining and focus—hold these branches at bay..."
Just as Yu Shusheng finished speaking, a chilling, ear-piercing beast roar echoed from beneath the street, shaking the ground violently.
"Boom boom boom..."
In the next instant, rubble scattered across the street as a fifty-meter-tall giant monster formed entirely of blood-red tree branches broke through the earth, unleashing a sky-shaking howl.
"Hah..."
The giant monster’s pitch-black eyes, nose, and mouth were like abyssal voids, as sinister blood-red mist began drifting out and spreading across West City.
