Chapter 176

Amidst the mountain of bug corpses, Li Ang flicked the foul-smelling fluid off his hands.

Beside him, Ma Kusi and Mo Di already showed signs of fatigue, while Danika had already entered the small alchemy workshop to begin recovering her strength.

After all, even mowing down enemies gets tiring, not to mention that the intensity of the swarm had increased significantly compared to the beginning, with a Second Energy Level bug popping up every now and then.

This was both good news and bad news.

The good news was that the rising star of the swarm could no longer sit still and was preparing to go all-in for a final showdown.

The bad news was that Ma Kusi and the others were struggling to keep up now that the intensity had risen.

Unlike Li Ang, who possessed the Reverse Life Triple, when they got hurt, they were truly hurt.

Especially Mo Di, who was a complete glass cannon; if not for his highly defensive abilities, he would have already been torn to pieces by the swarm.

Yet even so, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

'My methods are still somewhat lacking.'

Being a stat-monster is great, but if his abilities were more diverse, things would undoubtedly be easier right now.

But there was no helping that; after all, Li Ang hadn't been in this world for long, and his so-called journey had only spanned two instances so far.

Being able to reach this point was already the result of cheating combined with his boldness and careful planning.

At this moment, Ma Kusi, who was nearby, suddenly asked with some confusion: "Have you noticed that the swarm's offensive seems to have slowed down?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Ang and Mo Di frowned.

Just as Ma Kusi said, the swarm's offensive seemed to have stalled.

"The situation is a bit off."

Mo Di narrowed his eyes slightly, scanning the swarm that was hovering in the distance.

Just as his voice fell, a bug resembling a small hill appeared in the trio's line of sight.

Looking at the metallic veins on the massive body of the unknown bug, Ma Kusi muttered in a daze: "That is..."

"What?"

Even with this Security Bureau Director's experience, it was his first time seeing this type of bug.

"It's Balandu."

Li Ang looked at the figure atop the giant bug and answered Ma Kusi's question.

Only, upon observing that the figure's lower body had completely merged with the giant bug's head, he couldn't help but think to himself: 'Where did this Shukaku come from?'

Prompted by Li Ang, Ma Kusi also noticed the figure on the bug's head.

A look of shock first flashed across the Security Bureau Director's face, then turned into sudden realization, and finally, he said with an ugly expression: "No wonder this old thing hasn't shown his face all these years."

It would be a miracle if Balandu could show his face in his current state.

Meanwhile, Mo Di's expression was icy cold.

The criminal responsible for all this had finally appeared, which also meant that the matter of Colony City No. 66 embezzling federal property was coming to an end.

As for what the final outcome would be...

That would depend on whether they could survive.

Just then, Mo Di suddenly noticed that a long spear had appeared in Li Ang's hand at some point.

The exact same long spear held by that terrifying alchemical creature.

He couldn't help but be stunned.
