My Monster Fuses Everything

```

"Clang!"

Although the aura of the Green Giant Centipede was only Second-order Intermediate, its carapace seemed exceptionally tough. Bullets that struck it only left marks instead of penetrating its body.

Under the leadership of several dozen Green Giant Centipedes, the momentum of the poisonous creatures surged forward for a moment, closing the distance to the surrounding wall to merely seven or eight meters.

"Spiritual Energy Grenades!"
Your adventure continues at empire

Each captain sneered coldly, showing no sign of panic and instructed their men to grab the equipped spiritual energy grenades.

"Throw!"

Tree Domain warriors picked up spiritual energy grenades, throwing them directly into the densest cluster of Second-grade Monsters and Green Giant Centipedes.

Thunderous booms accompanied by flashes of fire went off, the explosions forming almost a continuous defensive line.

In the explosions, none of the Second-order poisonous creatures or Green Giant Centipedes were spared; their bodies were shredded by grenade shrapnel and the force of the blasts.

After the Nine-Snake Mother Tree Crystal Mine Fruit LV4, higher yields also led to an upgrade in weapons and ammunition.

Though spiritual energy grenades were somewhat weaker than spiritual energy bombs, Second-order Monsters still suffered heavy injuries from such attacks, let alone when deployed in large numbers.

After a round of explosions, the monstrous attack that was once like a flood became scattered and disorganized.

"Heavy armored Apostles to the front, coordinate constriction, capture team be ready to collect monster samples, action."

Zhao Yaqian, Duan Jie, Zhu Xiong, Yan Tiejun, and several others summoned their Apostles in succession. Although not all were called forth, those who were leapt over the surrounding wall and launched an offensive.

Captains of Second-order Contractors also summoned their Apostles, entering the battlefield.

The gunfire turned into close combat, yet the efficiency of the kills quickened by a few beats compared to before.

At a time when everyone's strength had increased, a slice of a blade in close combat could be more lethal than a spiritual energy rifle.

In this constricted battle, the actions of some groups were particularly prominent.

"11 o'clock direction, a centipede is isolated, move in."

A group of about ten people quickly approached an isolated Green Giant Centipede under the cover of their comrades, their Apostles closely following at their sides.

The warriors engaged in battle noticed the capture team approaching and immediately switched from fighting to offense, ensuring they were not interfered with.

"Roar!"

Due to the explosions, most of the Green Giant Centipede's jointed legs had already been destroyed, its green carapace cracked, with blood dripping continuously.

A creature cornered like this becomes incredibly frantic.

It let out a scream, raising its body as high as a building with one or two floors, then heavily lunged at the capture team.

The team leader, a man with a square face, narrowed his eyes, and two large Apostles already stood in front of him.

Clang

The Second-order Intermediate Green Giant Centipede collided with a heavy thump, but the two large Apostles didn't budge.

"My bionic enhancement path is the tank route of the Bonestead Rat Demon, you think you can take me?"

The team leader snorted coldly, immediately ordering, "Control team move in, prepare for toxin attack, get the protection ready."

"Understood."

His two Second-rank Apostles might not be as robust as the Bonestead Rat Demon, but with their muscular builds; the one on the left being a variant of the Meat Mountain Demon, the one on the right was a Second-order Ghoul that had undergone mutation. At this moment, both Apostles with their large frames and sturdy skeletons, clamped down on the Green Giant Centipede from both sides.

The Green Giant Centipede struggled mightily, its huge body rolling like a giant python.

But it could not break free at all, its head, the crucial part, firmly grasped.

Four teammates immediately moved forward, their Apostles of varying appearances surrounding the Green Giant Centipede.

Two of the Apostles opened their eyes wide, emitting a dazzling light that could dazzle anyone.

Just one look, and a mental shock was already unleashed, significantly suppressing the struggling force of the Green Giant Centipede.

Flesh tendrils immediately extended from the heads of these two Apostles, binding the body of the Green Giant Centipede.

The remaining two members' Apostles didn't have Demon Eyes, but tendrils burst forth from either their spine or their arms, winding around the Green Giant Centipede.

In just a few seconds, the Green Giant Centipede was completely entangled by tendrils, all its resistance suppressed.

Finally, three other teammates stepped forward, their Apostles being somewhat smaller but each equipped with a tail hook.

```

He aimed for the wound on the Green Giant Centipede and stabbed right in.

The pain woke the Green Giant Centipede, and it wanted to struggle violently, but two Second Order Heavy Tank-type Apostles, along with four First Order Upper Grade Apostles' control and mental suppression,

made its struggle particularly weak as the anesthetic toxin was quickly injected into its body.

"Inject the Mother Tree toxin."

"Yes."

The squad captain gave a decisive order, and then the three members who were responsible for paralysis took out long spears with toxins, stabbing directly into the body of the monster and pushing the toxins into it.

In just over twenty seconds, the Green Giant Centipede had completely collapsed to the ground.

At this point, in the entire team, there were also three members holding shields for defense, along with their Apostles who were similarly equipped.

"Drag it away, put it in a cage."

The squad captain immediately ordered, the three defensive members shifted to transporting, and together with the controllers, they quickly dragged the Green Giant Centipede away from the frontline of the battlefield.

From the outbreak of the battle focused on the Green Giant Centipede to its successful capture, it took less than three minutes.

Su Han stood at the back of the team, watching the capture team's clean and neat movements, and smiled: "Old Zhu, that was quite a move."

Not just Su Han, even Yan Tiejun and Zhao Yaqian, watching the actions of the capture team inside the search team, couldn't help but express their admiration.

Duan Jie said, "It could be considered a special forces approach, clean and efficient, even capable of performing beheading operations."

Zhu Xiong grinned and said, "It's a joint venture project, the research institute needs materials to study, and the search team also needs to capture monsters to fill the underground cages, so we trained the team, which is still less than six teams, with few people."

Though being modest, it was obvious that the old man was quite pleased with himself.

In just about ten minutes, the six capture teams had acted together and had already managed to capture six or seven Second-grade Monsters, pulling them away from the frontline, while the following warriors of the search team were already placing them in cages at the edge of the enclosure.

At this moment, the capture team re-entered the battlefield looking for opportunities. Although the efficiency wasn't as high as the first run, the capture rate was still considerable.

Everyone knew that under the monster contract system and the Divine Initiation Ritual's advancement, each monster was an extremely precious resource.

Furthermore, considering the research value of the monsters themselves, one could imagine how precious they were.

Such a capture team, then, was a value-creating squad.

"Credit for the capture team, the protective search team warriors, and the people from the research institute."

Su Han reminded Zhu Xiong, who nodded, "Of course, these targeted injectors are all concocted by the folks at the institute."

The strategy of the capture team was actually about holding off, controlling, paralyzing, and protecting.

The squad captain, although with only two Second Order Low Grade Apostles, had considerably more resistance due to their heavy tank orientations.

Next in the control positions, although there were only four First Order Upper Grade members, their Apostles were all Eye Beast Type or Clawed Giants, Apostles with mutations in the direction of the Mother Tree series vines.

The spiritual suppression of the Eye Beast, and the control of the vines or tentacles, could further limit and suppress the monsters, even when facing Second Order effects, the gap wouldn't be too wide.

The Apostles of the members in charge of control were with mutations in toxicity, paralysis, and so on., primarily from within the Mother Tree series, like the Centipede-mouthed Blood Toad and Man-eating Vine direction, enhanced by toxins extracted from the Nine-Snake Mother Tree's Man-eating Vine which the Contractors carried, naturally making the paralysis effect significant.

A series of controls and coordination achieved excellent control effects, which was key for the capture team.

However, Su Han saw even more. Whether it was the Stabbers, the Corroders or now the capture team, the most critical aspect was the targeted mutation guidance, commonly known as the Evolution Sequence.

The population of the Tree Domain Camp would continue to grow, and while naturally talented individuals were few, if targeted mutations could be developed, the combined strength they unleashed would surely drop jaws.

The battle ended quickly. The monsters that poured in from the entrance of Lisu County numbered just one or two tens of thousands, and in less than half an hour, the orderly teams had slaughtered them, clearing out the area.

The Sky Cavalry descended swiftly, and Ye Kailing approached Su Han and the others.

"The Crystal Mine Fruits have been placed in several blocks at the entrance of Lisu County, the fog has been completely dispersed, but the core location has not yet been found, we need to advance gradually. However, I noticed that the poison fog can be ignited by flames."

"Has the source of the poison fog not yet been found?"

Yan Tiejun frowned, Zhu Xiong pondered, "How many Ancient Tree Crystals would be needed to cover the entire city?"

"Indiscriminate deployment would probably require thousands of pieces, and even then, it would not be very effective."

Ye Kailing said, "The poison fog is key, without clearing it, our main force can't enter Lisu County, and even weapons like Spiritual Energy grenades on the scale can't be used."

Yan Tiejun said solemnly, "Our plan is still not perfect, it didn't take into account the possibility of failing to take down the stronghold, but we can establish a position here and work on it slowly."

"Leave it to me to try, I brought the Zerg anyway."
