Chapter 111: Chapter 99: The Squad Leader’s Journey

Observations (First Update)_1

The imposing figure drawing closer was a colossal mountainous entity.

Its shape resembled a giant centipede, with legs as thick as ancient towering trees extending from either side, ceaselessly pounding the ground, producing a sound like the beat of a drum.

However, it moved by wriggling along, which made the symbolic significance of its legs much greater than their actual function.

What made Chen Rang even more uncomfortable was the fact that he could tell this thing used to be a person.

It’s just that their body had been expanded tens of thousands of times, and the immense pressure had reshaped them into a pyramid structure, broad at the base and tapering toward the top. The bones within were unbelievably large; even with disease energy support, it had to move in this inhuman way.

Yet its face remained human, only that the face was continually weeping. It was unclear whether this was due to overly developed tear glands or if the person inside was still conscious and could feel the present agony.

At this moment, Chen Rang didn’t know whether to admire the preciseness of Fang Cheng Studio or to despise their twisted sense of humor.

The preciseness was because even when designing a boss, they strictly adhered to the physics of the supernatural world.

The twisted sense of humor was because this world seemed particularly prone to producing things that could drive one’s sanity to the edge. Yet he had to admit there was a perverse form of biological beauty to it.

What was more terrifying was that the more he looked at it, the more he found the thing surprisingly handsome. He could only refresh his eyes by looking at Mukuai next to him to maintain a semblance of normal aesthetic standards.

Facing this behemoth, players who had also bought houses with their merit points were on the verge of tears.

My newly bought house!

The little home full of love I share with my Mukuai!

We were all set to adopt two or three children, raise a not-too-ugly dog, and live out our days!

Why are you sending a demolition expert now-what’s the meaning of this?!

Can’t stand to see players living comfortably, can you?!

The opponent was huge and yet not slow, scouts who went to investigate quickly sent back their findings.

Run!

That thing is immune to spells, you can only physically assault it!

After calculating the time it would take for the opponent to reach the battlefield, Chen Rang had Mukuai swiftly pack up their essentials. Then he headed there alone, ready to conduct a thorough close-up report.

The closer he got to the creature, the less of that terrifying and eerie feeling he felt.

Being so close, the full image of the monster was no longer clear to everyone; they could only see the train-like shape and massive legs, which actually imparted a sense of the ridiculous.

Below the monster, a large number of medical practitioners were gathered, pondering how to deal with the gigantic creature.

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a massive Disease Beast.”

“Yeah, and I thought such a big guy would yield a lot of merit points after being purified, but why are spells ineffective?

“Is the game glitching?”

“You should understand the characteristics of Fang Cheng Studio’s games. First, there are absolutely no bugs in this game. Second, if a bug does appear, please refer back to the first point.”

“Then what’s with this big fellow being immune to spells?

“A hidden feature? A trait?”

“I think our focus should be on how to take this thing down. I think…” The medical practitioner hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly the boss’s body began to writhe.

A gigantic arm emerged from the side of the monster, grabbing the medical practitioner in front of it, crushing him to bits, and then tossing him into its mouth.

“Wow, impressive.”

“An instant-kill attack.”

“But it has a long wind-up time; if you time it right, it should be easy to dodge.”

It was quite normal to die a few times when pioneering a new area; to the players, this didn’t feel like a big deal. Creative ways of dying were instead considered a topic of conversation.

In the future, they could brag with pride: “Our family was killed by the boss on our first encounter, and I must be born peculiar, or why would the boss choose me over all others?”

Moreover, all their merit points were with Mukuai, so as long as Mukuai was safe, these players could die thousands of times without care.

Is death without penalty even death?

That’s just part of the gaming experience, not to be missed out on.

Nevertheless, this scene made the temple keeper observing from afar furrow her brows.

Disease energy was omnipresent in this world, and the temple keepers of the Demon Lord Temple had developed numerous spells relying on disease energy, remote spying being one of them.

Through disease energy, she could see scenes from thousands of miles away, noting the medical practitioners’ relaxed demeanor.

But the more she watched, the more alarmed she became.

These medical practitioners were definitely not from this world.

The temple keeper of the Demon Lord Temple was not foolish, but their vision was limited to the four planets in front of them, entirely missing the anomalies taking place between heaven and earth.

The Disease Demon Lord they worshiped had become a joke, and the disease energy they revered was merely pollution in the eyes of the Great Heavenly Lord Fang Cheng. If cleaning it up wasn’t such a hassle, they wouldn’t have noticed the emergence of these equally matched opponents, the medical practitioners.

Now, after observing these decidedly abnormal medical practitioners for a while, the temple keeper looked up at the sun above her head.

The sun was golden, and usually, by staring at it, one could feel the mad will of the Disease Demon Lord coming through the sunlight, which allowed her to sense the omnipresent love of the Demon Lord.

But now, the madness in the sunlight was gone, the source of the disease energy cut off, and the frail Heavenly Tao was finally retaliating, signaling to her the change of an era.

But it didn’t matter.

The power of the Disease Demon Lord was eternal; he had merely departed temporarily.

The great Demon Lord would not abandon his followers, and everything would soon settle down.
