Chapter 474: Chapter 317: Taking Over the City

Eight "thump, thump" beating meatballs were all utterly destroyed by the "Main Character" Li Qingshan with a machine gun.

Inside, the not yet fully hatched monsters were captured and thrown into the tiny City God Temple.

However, strangely, as the meatballs were dealt with, the sense of impending crisis did not disappear but instead intensified.

"Could there be something in this Blood Pool?" Comrade Lu Tianming stared at the bubbles one after another in the Blood Pool, his expression tensed, and he suddenly shouted, "Be careful!"

Li Qingshan, standing in the front, quickly rolled away.

Everyone else took a few steps back.

Because they saw in the Blood Pool a red "plant" growing; it couldn’t really be called a plant, it was like a clump of blood vessels twisted together, forming a special kind of vegetation.

Its main trunk was three to four zhang long, with huge leaf-like blades that continually expanded and contracted like lung lobes, and the lanceolate branches also automatically opened and closed.

At the center of the "plant," there was something like a heart, slowly pulsating.

"So the real deal is here..." Old Lu swallowed his saliva, his feeling of foreboding increased, and he immediately gave the order, "Fire your guns!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The steam machine gun spewed out raging tongues of flame.

But something strange happened, as these bullets were fired, about 1 centimeter away from the Blood Tree, they abruptly and forcibly stopped, as if hitting a wall of air, making "ding, ding, dong, dong" sounds, then all fell into the pool.

Meanwhile, the fresh red "tree" swayed continuously, and thousands of blood vessels slowly moved, with tips all pointed towards everyone around, like sharp arrows ready to be released.

"Captain, the machine gun bullets can’t penetrate the air wall, likely a Spiritual Field."

A look of surprise and suspicion appeared on everyone’s faces, and their wariness increased even more.

"This creature has developed a consciousness but has not fully matured yet."

The reason wasn’t beyond imagination; this tree possessed an extremely high Spiritual Strength, so powerful that it could distort the physical rules of a small area in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Thus, a wall of air-like "Spiritual Field" had formed on its surface.

"It’s at least an Evil God Level weird creature, and one that possesses a bit of Wisdom," Lu Tianming’s face looked as if it had a layer of frost, "The final boss isn’t so easy to deal with."

"I’ll try using the Corpse Wrapping Cloth," Li Qingshan said eagerly.

Old Lu hastily said, "Don’t act recklessly. See those branches? It’s very alert, it won’t allow you to get close easily."

"That Corpse Wrapping Cloth needs to touch it to suppress it. It won’t let you just cover it directly."

One of the soldiers said, "Why don’t we probe it again to see if it has any weaknesses?"

"If all else fails, we can still throw stones with a catapult. If we’ve run out of cannon shells, why can’t we throw stones..."

This suggestion gained everyone’s agreement; people dared not approach the Blood Pool too closely, but they were also unwilling to give up straight away.

A group of soldiers began randomly hurling things around the Blood Pool, throwing a lot of Exorcism Items like Black Dog Blood and glutinous rice, but obviously, these items were of little use.

And the soldiers soon discovered that as the "big tree" kept shaking, at the base of its roots, there was also a layer of blood-red Spores.

The robes slowly vibrated, as if breathing, and the bubbles in the Blood Pool were produced by the Spores breathing.

This fact sent shivers down the spines of Li Qingshan and others.

After observing for a while, someone couldn’t help saying, "The creatures hatching from these Spores couldn’t be those blood-sucking mosquitoes, could they? If a pool of mosquitoes hatches, how many people would die?"

"No wonder it doesn’t want to come out; it’s staying there hatching its brood!"

"How about we throw a chicken in to test it?"

"That could work."

Soon, a soldier stealthily stole a chicken from a nearby farmhouse.

The rooster "clucked" in extreme terror.

As soon as the chicken was thrown into the Blood Pool, a multitude of blood-vessel-like branches sprouted spikes and rushed over rapidly.

In just an instant, like tearing a piece of paper, the chicken was torn into pieces and merged into the Blood Pool.

"How about using poison? It sucks blood, right? Let’s throw poison into the Blood Pool," Li Qingshan suggested.

"But where do we get poison strong enough to counter this thing?"

"Let’s ask the local soldiers."

Moments later, Inspector Li and Coach Hu hurried over, shuddering at the sight of the creature.

They did have some poisons—arsenic, Gelsemium elegans, Tripterygium wilfordii, etc.—they threw all of them into the pool at once.

Obviously, it had little effect.

People were somewhat at a loss.

An Evil God Level weird creature was protecting this pool, high-yield Meat Mountain Bombs were used up, the machine guns had no effect, and they couldn’t get close.

"This thing doesn’t want to come out for the time being, its ritual has been disrupted by us, and the flesh in the Blood Pool is only on the level of ten thousand people, not yet reaching a hundred thousand."

Old Lu stroked his chin, sighed deeply, "Let’s wait a few days, let the ’Game’ bring in some high-yield explosives."

"A few days... isn’t that a bit too long?" Li Qingshan felt increasingly uneasy, "The blood in the Blood Pool has reduced by about 3 centimeters from the beginning, at this rate, it will be depleted in another 12 hours."

"If a pool of mosquitoes hatches even just a small half, the entire city will suffer, and even Qingshi Town will be affected."
