Chapter 146: Chapter 140 Bat-winged Alligator Dragon
```
The powerful Blackwater Cannon blasted directly toward the Bat-winged Beast King, but the Beast King was not weak. Suddenly, its wings stirred, combining wind power and Spiritual Energy to form several huge Wind Blades to attack.
When the two attacks collided, the Wind Blades neutralized part of the Blackwater Cannon's assault, but the rest broke through the blades and struck the Bat-winged Beast King directly.
The Bat-winged Beast King was too slow to dodge and was blasted into a high-rise building, its body smashing through the floors and becoming embedded within.
On its wings, a giant Blood Hole had been torn open.
Despite the Bat-winged Beast King's wings not being the feathered wings of birds but bat wings, after evolving, the flesh membrane of the wings had become not only muscular but was also covered with fine fuzz and tin scales. An ordinary bomb might not even cause substantial damage.
However, now the Bat-winged Beast King had sustained very serious injuries.
At this point, hundreds of Bat-winged Beasts in the sky could not sit idle any longer, immediately turning to attack the Crocodile Dragon Monster.
A massive swarm of Bat-winged Beasts struck out, with the Crocodile Dragon Monster showing no reaction whatsoever, radiating a terrifying presence. With its gaping maw opened wide, the Blackwater Cannon quickly condensed and then, with a blast toward the heavens, was fired off.
Hundreds of Bat-winged Beasts were shattered by the Blackwater Cannon, their flesh turning to raindrops that fell to the ground, with limbs dropping amidst the chaos—a truly horrific sight as the scent of blood permeated the entire street.
"Old Guo, come out from the back, don't go over the street."
Just then, a voice rang out from behind Guo Gang. Gan Xinglei and Zhang Dahai had entered through the rear window, which actually led to a different street.
"Old... Old Gan, what's happening?"
"Let's get going. The Bat-winged Beast King is coming out."
Before he had finished speaking, the semi-collapsed building opposite began to make noise, and the Bat-winged Beast King that had been slammed into it struggled to its feet, letting out a sharp roar that stabbed at everyone's eardrums.
"Go!"
Guo Gang decisively led everyone to follow Gan Xinglei and Zhang Dahai out of the other side of the building.
Outside on the street, the Bat-winged Beast King's wing, with a big hole, was dripping with fresh blood. Its form was unsteady, and with great force in its legs, it attempted to flap away from the place.
Though its membranous wings were punctured, such a massive creature could not only rely on the flapping of its wings to stay in flight. The special Spiritual Energy structure within its body was also key to its ability to fly.
Thus, amidst its wobbly form, it managed to take off.
However, the Crocodile Dragon Monster would not let it escape so easily. Its massive form lunged forward with its huge jaws open, biting down on the other wing of the Bat-winged Beast King.

There was a crackling sound as the huge bones were instantly severed, and blood dripped to the ground.
The two colossal creatures fell together onto the concrete road, smashing the ground into a giant deep pit with cracks all around.
Now deprived of the advantage of the air, the Bat-winged Beast King began to struggle, trying to use its hind legs and the claws on its wings to attack the Crocodile Dragon Monster.
But its attacks on the Crocodile Dragon Monster merely caused a few minor wounds, and that was all.
The Crocodile Dragon Monster's sharp teeth were fully embedded into its body, and with ferocious tearing, the membranous wings were completely shredded.
Blackwater Sharp Blade!
Black sharp edges emerged on the creature's claws, then clawed onto the body of the Bat-winged Beast King, tearing open a huge gash as fresh blood flowed out incessantly.
The Bat-winged Beast King, severely wounded, struggled with greatly reduced strength, as the Crocodile Dragon Monster stepped on it, its huge mouth opening again to tear into it. With this powerful strike, the Bat-winged Beast King completely lost the ability to resist.
[Detected fusible living monster Bat-winged Beast King, proceed with Fusion?]
Fusion
Witnessing this scene, Su Han showed a smile and agreed to the Fusion by default.
The strength of the Bat-winged Beast King had also reached Third Order, and although it seemed to have just broken through recently, with powers like Wind Blade and flight, its strength was not weak.
Therefore, Fusion was undoubtedly a good choice.
As the Fusion began, countless blood threads from the Crocodile Dragon Monster spread toward the Bat-winged Beast King, slowly enveloping parts of its body.
Seeing the Bat-winged Beast King thoroughly defeated, the group of Bat-winged Beasts were thrown into panic, trying to fly away.
Su Han's gaze flickered, and numerous vines shot into the sky at a rapid pace, hurtling toward them.
The Mother Nest Ancient Tree struck decisively as dozens of Sound Wave Tree Fruits were tossed into the air.
Piercing explosions sounded. Although it was impossible to hit the targets accurately in the air, the shockwaves from the blasts directly stunned the Bat-winged Beasts senseless, causing most to plummet.
The vines were already prepared and, at the moment the Bat-winged Beasts fell, they entwined them tightly, injecting them with the Paralytic Toxin from the Man-eating Vine.
Thus, the vines managed to catch several dozen Bat-winged Beasts, while the remaining ones entered the mist and escaped from there.
"Leader!"
Gan Xinglei, leading Ye Kailing and the others, came toward Su Han quickly. He looked at everyone and asked, "Is everyone okay?"
Guo Gang forced a smile and said, "It was a close call, but no one died."
Although there were no deaths, most people in the group had sustained injuries during the fight with the Bat-winged Beasts.
```
"Treat the wound."
Su Han looked at Gan Xinglei and Zhang Dahai, "Old Gan, Old Zhang, you two control those Bat-winged Beasts and bring them back to be detained."
"Yes"
Su Han stayed by the Crocodile Dragon Monster while Guo Gang and Ye Kailing led people to treat the team members' wounds, treating minor injuries on the spot and immediately taking those with severe injuries back to the camp.
The Crocodile Dragon Monster didn't fuse with the Bat-winged Beast King particularly fast; more than two hours had passed, and it had barely managed to fuse one-third.
It was also around this time that Zhu Xiong returned to the ring area with a large amount of supplies and a dozen survivors.
After not seeing Gao Bin return for a long time, the remaining several dozen people in the Nanwang Guild Hall also sent people out to look for Gao Bin and their whereabouts.
They just happened to encounter Zhu Xiong, and after a probe, Zhu Xiong took them down.
What followed was much simpler. When they reached the guild hall, Zhu Xiong led his men to attack directly, killing all who resisted and saving all the captured survivors.
Among the more than ten survivors, there were mostly women, many of whom had been bullied by Gao Bin's group. It wasn't particularly uncommon in the apocalypse for those with insufficient strength to encounter such things.
Zhu Xiong had encountered similar situations while searching for supplies, and those who did such things had been executed by him.
This time was no exception, they buried those who needed to be buried and saved the survivors, bringing them along with the supplies.
After Zhu Xiong's return, the clean-up on the battlefield undoubtedly speeded up a lot. After the survivors were taken away, the remaining combat personnel began to clean up the battlefield and concentrated on clearing the monsters around Summer Garden Avenue.
Several hours passed, and with the cooperation of the Mother Nest Ancient Tree and its pets and slave species, the corpses of the monsters soon piled up like mountains.
Although the clean-up operation of the four teams didn't go very thoroughly due to Su Han's situation, the accumulation of killed monsters also numbered four to five hundred, indicating just how many monsters were hiding inside the buildings.
The Crocodile Dragon Monster had by then completely fused with the entire Bat-winged Beast King, settling at a Fusion Degree of 34%.
The Fusion Degree wasn't very high, and the speed of fusion had become even slower.
With the advancement in strength, especially when fusing with stronger live monsters, more time and material were needed.
Su Han had already prepared himself for that, so he had no regrets and directly controlled the Crocodile Dragon Monster to fuse with the corpses of the monsters.
Among the corpses of the monsters, some were parts of Bat-winged Beasts. They shared the same origin as the Bat-winged Beast King, so the conversion of Fusion Degree was relatively better. However, the rest of the monsters were either flesh corpses or crawlers of some sort, which made the conversion rate drop again.
Overnight, the Crocodile Dragon Monster had completely fused with the hundreds of monster corpses, and the Fusion Degree was growing, reaching 46%.
The progress in fusion wasn't too high, so on the second day, Su Han had Ye Kailing lead an additional team of people to directly participate in the cleanup operation of the ring area.
The speed of cleaning by the five teams was no doubt enhanced a lot, especially since Su Han was personally stationed on Summer Garden Avenue. The two pets of the Mother Nest Ancient Tree were dispatched in turn to help, and with continuous hatching, the Vine Giant Rats that had been added before were gradually hatched as well.
The number of Vine Giant Rats joining in the entire cleanup action reached 100, doubling the number from before, naturally, the efficiency was higher.
On the first day, the five teams cleared 40 buildings, killed more than 2000 monsters, found over 100 survivors, and killed 20 unstable individuals.
The Crocodile Dragon Monster had completely fused with the monster corpses, taking the Fusion Degree to 75%.
On the second day, they cleared 42 large and small structures, killed over 1500 monsters, and found over 40 survivors, mostly families, with no looting gangs.
They were also well-hidden, hunkering down in small family units; otherwise, they would have been discovered long ago.
The ring area was being rapidly cleared, and by the second day, the Crocodile Dragon Monster's Fusion Degree had reached 87%.
On the third day, most of the ring area had been cleared, but what surprised Su Han even more was that Gan Xinglei and Ye Kailing had made breakthroughs.
Both of them had used the Mother Nest Ancient Tree's No. 3 injections a few days earlier, and during these days, their Angel Envoy bodies were in the stage of digesting the injection's energy, their bodies still undergoing gradual changes.
Three to four days of battle had stimulated the effects of the injection, and now they had just reached the racial bottleneck, completing the Divine Initiation Ritual in the process of hunting monsters.
The sacrificial monster for Gan Xinglei was a tyrant hidden in a small underground parking garage.
Without any hesitation and without shaking up others, he let his Angel Envoy charge up.
Although racially speaking, Old Gan's Angel Envoy was still a flesh corpse, the degree of mutation had gone up after several injections of enhancement, bearing the name of a flesh corpse but having the stature of a strongman.
With the strength at the limit of the First Order Upper Grade, he hammered down the tyrant, then started the Divine Initiation Ritual.
After the ritual, he completed the fusion advancement and became a Tree Armor Tyrant close to five meters tall.
The Tyrant's entire body was covered in black woody armor, with a burly physique and strong muscles, especially the arms that could swell into vines for attack. Its ability was not bad.
And it also possessed a skill, Primary Self-Healing.
Ye Kailing's situation was much the same, but she fused with a Red Scale Gecko. Although it was also First Order Upper Grade, it had extremely fast reflexes, similar to Nie Rilong's Blood Bone Lizard from before.
After the Divine Initiation Ritual, she became a Second Order Low Grade Red Scale Lizard Monster, a humanoid monster that was just over three meters tall but extremely fast. She also possessed the Self-Healing Skill, albeit at an Intermediate level.
With both people breaking through in succession, naturally, it was a good thing, and the speed of killing monsters increased greatly.
Su Han's Crocodile Dragon Monster also pushed the fusion progress to one hundred percent on the afternoon of the third day.
