Chapter 311
With Priest Jiang dealt with, the next step was to follow the original plan and take care of these few high-tier anomalies, then find the node that could establish a connection with “reality.”
Shen Ge opened his [Map] for a look. The red dot representing the anomaly insects had vanished, while the anomaly rats had retreated deeper underground—and the red dot was growing larger. This meant that the battle between the two high-tier anomalies had ultimately ended in the rat’s victory.
As for the “giant whale” hovering above the Penguin Building, although it couldn’t be detected directly, the “storm clouds” gathering in the air indicated that it hadn’t left yet.
On top of that, several new red dots of rank 3–4 anomalies had appeared on the [Map]—clearly some creatures skilled at concealing their anomalous energy, stirred awake by all the commotion.
All things considered, the “chimeric beast” right beneath Shen Ge’s feet was the most convenient target to go after. He didn’t even have to waste time searching for it.
Shen Ge opened his anomaly eyes and looked upward. He still couldn’t pinpoint the “giant whale’s” exact position, but the black mist of anomalous energy it was releasing, while affecting him, was also corroding the chimeric beast.
Last night, when the “giant whale” had suddenly attacked Defense Line 3, Shen Ge had noticed that its black mist was highly corrosive, and anyone caught inside it would also suffer from hallucinations.
Fortunately, the corrosive effects of that mist were neutralized by Shen Ge’s own anomalous energy. Given his rating, unless he simply lay down and gave up resisting entirely, there was no way he’d fall into a hallucination.
Standing on the elephant-like head of the chimeric beast, Shen Ge silently summoned his anomaly domain and conjured an invisible barrier right in front of the creature.
