Chapter 794: Chapter 794: Gong Baoding’s Predicant
Dense, dark clouds smothered the moon and the stars.
By the swamp’s edge, far from any human trace, darkness fell so thickly that one could not see their hand before their face.
In the center of a foul-slling mud pit lay a half-do rock, over five ters high and coated in sli, with several holes of varying sizes that resembled a nest of so creature.
Dozens of blurry shadows rapidly circled the rock, their bodies seemingly wrapped in a thick layer of mucus that, combined with the darkness, appeared exceedingly strange.
This nest had only appeared in this location for a few days, yet no living creatures were left nearby, all sufficiently large animals had beco nourishnt for the growth of these shadowy figures.
But now, these tyrants of the stinking mud pit were on high alert.
A red gleam appeared on the horizon, and a searing malice locked onto the nest behind them.
As the red gleam drew near, light returned to the area, a bird’s cry echoed around, and the shadows finally saw what the red gleam was.
It was a fla bird, with a wingspan close to ten ters and a long tail made of flas!
The fla bird carried an astonishing heat, distorting the air around it.
The shadow creatures hastily assembled, positioning their bodies in front of the nest, and spewed toxic mucus at the fla bird.
This mucus was highly toxic and nearly impossible to remove once it adhered, orders of magnitude more disgusting than the glue traps for rats.
But the fla bird neither dodged nor flinched; all the mucus evaporated from the heat before even making contact, turning into pungent smoke.
Then the fla bird, ignoring the shadows poised as if for a significant battle, rapidly flew past them. The shadows it grazed burst into flas and turned to ash with cries of agony.
The fla bird crashed directly into the rock nest, and the mucus on the rock caught fire like gasoline, instantly igniting.
Within the roaring flas, the fla bird soared into the sky, circling the rock a few tis and occasionally flapping its wings to intensify the blaze. The trendous heat soon dried out the stinking mud pit.
After only a few seconds, a fierce creature ablaze with fire broke free from the rock nest and lunged at the fla bird, trailing flas.
It was a desperate attempt, but to the fla bird, it ant nothing.
The fla bird simply extended a claw, seizing the monster and pinning it to the ground. The claw’s temperature rivaled that of a branding iron, and it didn’t take long before the creature was at death’s door.
Monts later, the fla bird’s body dissipated into the air, and in its place stood a sowhat slovenly middle-aged man.
That man was Gong Baoding.
He was the leader of the Hunter team in the nearby city, and this swamp was within his jurisdiction.
Gong Baoding sighed, “When I heard that a Disaster Level Sticky Shadow Beast matron had appeared, I had a bit of hope, but… you’re simply too weak.”
The Sticky Shadow Beast glared at Gong Baoding with resentnt. It was only hiding here to give birth to its young.
This man hadn’t even bothered to give a warning before attempting to annihilate them all, and now he was blaming it for being too weak?
However, the Sticky Shadow Beast had no chance to retort; Black Chains slithered from Gong Baoding’s hands like living things, binding the Sticky Shadow Beast matron. Then, both the creature and the chains vanished, as it was now contained within the Sanctuary.
The chains also encircled Gong Baoding, and he entered the Sanctuary, arriving in the Disaster Area.
Normally, when he passed through here, the irredeemable monsters would constantly heckle him, or hurl obscenities his way.
But today, these monsters were very quiet, all staring at a mirror as if they were anticipating sothing.
Without the harassnt of those monsters, Gong Baoding was happy to enjoy the peace, and he quickly ca to the cell of the Sticky Shadow Beast, starting to record the monster’s information on the card at the entrance.
Listing the basic information of the monster at the entrance isn’t a mandatory requirent of the Sanctuary, but most Containnt Officers adhere to this rule, Wen Wen being an exception.
Na: Sticky Shadow Beast Matron
Level: Disaster Lower Order
Abilities: Reproducing Juvenile Sticky Shadow Beasts, Jetting Mucus, Shadow Concealnt…
Remarks: The Juvenile Sticky Shadow Beasts birthed by this creature are comparable in strength to half a dostic goose, but they can parasitize humans and other sufficiently large creatures’ shadows through mucus, drawing nutrition from their hosts’ shadows.
After draining their hosts, the Juvenile Sticky Shadow Beasts will beco Adult Sticky Shadow Beasts, whose strength is of Weak Disaster Level, but the adults won’t act independently and will only guard beside their matron…
Many monsters or Containnt Items have derivatives, and the strength of these derivatives can sotis be even less than that of a regular human, so the Sanctuary also has a set of classification for the strength of these monsters.
The strength of a person is equal to that of two dogs, and the strength of a dog is equal to that of two geese, although not very scientific, this asure has so reference value, although it does look sowhat odd.
After entering all the information, Gong Baoding felt a surge of strength flow into his body—this was the Sanctuary’s feedback for his act of capturing the monster.
Unfortunately, such feedback was no longer of any use to him.
The feedback gained from capturing monsters could only help Gong Baoding approach a breakthrough faster by saving him so ti he would otherwise need for accumulation, but it wasn’t enough to lift him to higher levels.
Being the first Containnt Officer to join the Sanctuary, Gong Baoding had long beco a Mid-Tier Superhuman and had already touched the bottleneck of the Upper Sequence.
But if he wanted to advance further, the slight improvents from capturing monsters were utterly insufficient.
He needed an opportunity for a breakthrough, which could be a special encounter or an opponent of equal strength, but such opportunities were not easy to co by.
As the person responsible for a city, Gong Baoding’s current strength was more than enough to crush the various sizes of monsters that usually appeared, and his district rarely had monsters that he found troubleso.
Moreover, he had to fulfill his duties as a captain and couldn’t simply leave to seek battles with other powerful monsters.
For this reason, he applied for the Ranger exam, aiming to beco a Ranger.
However, the exam schedule for Rangers was fixed, and finding a replacent team leader would also take so ti.
In other words, Gong Baoding would have to remain in his current post for several more months at least.
Nevertheless, having been stuck at a certain realm for many years before he beca a Containnt Officer, Gong Baoding could wait a few more months.
“Slovenly Ghost, you just caught a monster too, what a coincidence.”
“Eh… this monster is really ugly.”
A petite figure clad in a Black Robe stood by Gong Baoding’s side, looking at the Sticky Shadow Beast Matron with disdain as she spoke.
In her hands, she held a large bucket of popcorn provided for free by the Sanctuary, stuffing her mouth while nudging Gong Baoding with her elbow, handing him a packet of pickles.
The Sticky Shadow Beast covered its face, wishing it could find a crack to crawl into.
It was truly just at ho giving birth, so why was it suddenly captured and brought here, only to be called ugly…
