Chapter 226: The Might of the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon_3
"Give me the rifle."
Zhao Yaqian asked a soldier for a rifle. Despite the darkness, aiming wasn't difficult for her, thanks to her perception.
"Bang"
A shot was fired, instantly heading for the Contractor in the driver's seat. The man didn't have time to react before his head was blown off, rendering his prepared jump from the vehicle to escape useless.
However, even so, the out-of-control oil tank truck was already charging towards the wall.
The short distance meant that even killing the driver wasn't enough to alter its course completely.
Instead, the sparks caused by the friction had already ignited some of the leaking gasoline.
The tank truck turned into a fire chariot wrapped in fierce flames, heading straight for the wall.
"Hold your positions."

Su Han's voice was heard. The ten-meter-high wall, nearly three meters thick, wouldn't be toppled by a mere tank truck, he thought disparagingly.
A bloody shadow swiftly rose into the sky and then positioned itself above the main gate.
Flapping its wings, Wind Blades sliced through the air, instantly cutting the tank truck in half. The contents inside were exposed to the open flame, causing a terrifying explosion in an instant.
Fire soared into the sky, and shockwaves swept through the area.
The black water shield of the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon was stretched out in front, blocking all the impacts from reaching beyond it.
The intense burning sensation faintly reached those on top of the wall, but nobody was harmed.
However, with the even more terrifying explosion, the roars of beasts from the eastern district of the city became notably louder.
"It seems your idea was correct, Quan Yan."
Su Han smiled, looking towards Quan Yan, who became somewhat embarrassed and only said, "That's how Yang Keqing operates. We've had conflicts, and he wouldn't truly want us to merge."
Su Han nodded and said, "Then get ready and proceed with the plan."
"Understood."
Zhu Junhua and Quan Yan immediately nodded, then commanded, "Leave three squads behind, the rest follow me."
About a hundred people remained in the three squads, and then hundreds of others were quickly led by him down from the wall, heading towards the direction of the subway station.
The wall was instantly emptied. Su Han stood at the edge of the wall; the monsters' roars grew ever closer as Zhao Yaqian was fully focused on sensing the surroundings.
"A large number of monsters are coming, at least tens of thousands. They're all being herded this way, someone is deliberately leading them."
As Zhao Yaqian relayed the information, the monsters finally entered the territory of the Parasitic Corpse Willows, illuminated by the Lamp Tree Crystals, and their figures emerged.
The battle erupted immediately.
Roots and branches of the Parasitic Corpse Willow spread relentlessly, and the Vine Puppets, fearless in death, launched their attack, entangling and tearing apart one creature after another.
Outside the pharmaceutical plant, hundreds of Parasitic Corpse Willows attacked in unison, momentarily halting the advance of the monster horde.
Hundreds of monsters were strangled by willow branches and roots, but as their numbers increased, Parasitic Corpse Willows began to be attacked at their core, each being torn apart.
The mutual slaughter was as cruel as a meat grinder; for over twenty minutes, hundreds of Corpse Willows strangled more than 3000 monsters, and by then, they had been completely shredded, leaving only some parasitic vines inside the bodies of the monsters.
"Roar!"
The monsters' fury rose, step by step approaching the pharmaceutical factory, excited and insane.
Just as Yang Keqing had thought, once the monsters sensed the Spiritual Energy overflowing from the crack in the different space, they could no longer restrain themselves.
They surged like a tide, no longer distinguishing between colonies, like a raging flood filling the entire street, heading straight for the walls of the pharmaceutical factory.
On one side was a wall guarded by only a hundred people; on the other, tens of thousands of monsters pressed forward, a dark mass threatening to topple the city.
However, between these walls stood a colossal creature, overlooking the horde of monsters.
"Roar!"
A cold roar echoed from deep within its throat; the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon took a step forward, its body surrounded by surging blood. Level 4 Blood Springs converged like rivers, sweeping across the dense swarm of monsters.
With a swishing sound, monsters were knocked to the ground by the powerful current, their blood sticking to them like flesh-boring maggots.
An eerie scene unfolded as the blood gradually penetrated their bodies.
Blood red patterns marked their bodies, their eyes turned as crimson as fire; roaring louder, they became even more violent than before.
The Blood River simply circled once, wandered on the ground, and set down the monsters it had swept up.
Then, those monsters eroded by the blood, for no apparent reason, threw themselves at the surrounding creatures, not caring whether they too were eroded or had just arrived; they tore and bit into one another.
Large amounts of flesh were shredded on the ground, the wandering Blood River continually drawing from it, growing bit by bit.
The Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon advanced step by step, with dark waters rising on its body; the Evil Crocodile Prison activated, and the mass of black water transformed into three thousand Evil Crocodiles, which then scattered and rushed into the swarm, fighting relentlessly.
What should have been a one against many now turned into a brawl involving thousands of monsters; blood stained the entire ground red, flesh scattered around, a sight especially horrifying.
"The blood is toxic."
Zhao Yaqian exclaimed, her mouth slightly agape, and after a long moment, uttered these four words as if confirming her suspicion.
However, Su Han shook his head and said, "Lower-ranked monsters simply couldn't resist the erosion of the blood."
His eyes turned toward the horde of monsters; First Order Inferior, Medium monsters were eroded the quickest, almost immediately upon the blood's infiltration from their mouths, noses, and eyes, they became raging, bloodthirsty beasts.
First Order Upper Grade monsters could resist a little longer, and Second Order even longer still.
But as they resisted, and fought, they no longer had any combat strength left.
One after another, they were overwhelmed by the frenzied monsters, with more and more blood covering them, their injuries growing more severe, and their behavior more affected, swiftly turning into a berserk state and joining the new melee.
What should have been tens of thousands of monsters besieging them, but in less than half an hour, more than half had fallen. The remaining creatures tried to scatter and flee, but now they were in the killing grounds of the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon.
Now that they were here, not one could escape; they all turned into blood food.
The Blood River roared, blocking roads and creating a semi-enclosed slaughterhouse.
