Grey-level monsters, also known as dust on the battlefield, although these monsters that have just emerged from the black mist are inconspicuous, they are the biggest threat in the royal city. All monsters below the intermediate level on the ground have evolved from them.

If these dust particles can be cleared, the threat in the royal city will be reduced by half.

But it is a very difficult task to clean up these dust particles. They are born everywhere, in large numbers, wandering in the streets and alleys, and cannot be attacked with large-scale destructive attacks.

How to efficiently clean them has always been the most troublesome thing for the defenders of the royal city.

But it is the thing that Rode likes to do the most.

Cleaning up dust is not the most profitable, but it is the most stable. There is no danger, only the need to focus on efficiency.

Rode has a lot of experience in this regard, and the Eye of the Soul also provides great help, allowing him to always clean up the most dust at the fastest speed.

His efficiency is extremely high, and the dust in the Iron Ingot Block is almost swept away by him, reducing the defense pressure of the entire block by half.

When the night ended and the morning came, Rode had already obtained 2610 dust souls and 31 weak souls.

The harvest is good, but the consumption is also great.

All 310 true silver bullets were used up, and there were only 9 thunderstones left out of 60.

He almost emptied the inventory he brought from the Doomsday Cult.

But it doesn't matter, all of these will be reimbursed by Lauren.

When Rode returned to the Defense Department of the Iron Ingot Block, he was welcomed by the heroes.

Defense Chief Gals, the two guards Gorman and Morin, and twenty defenders surrounded him, lifted him high, and offered deafening cheers.

Gals was excited and tears filled his face. Last night was so dangerous, only nine people died in the entire block. The day before yesterday, more than a hundred people died, seven households were wiped out, and a shelter was breached.

All of this is the credit of this new defender!

"Thanks to your support, Mr. Rode, leave it to us during the day. Please rest well."

The two guards also shook his hand, full of emotion in their eyes, as if they saw their young selves.

"We used to be so handsome too."

Rode looked at the two strange-looking people and curled his lips. If you say so, then it is.

Then, two staff members led Rode to his newly assigned residence.

A two-story detached house with a bright red copper lantern embedded next to the front door, very bright.

The interior is simple but very neat.

Rode slept here for half a day and woke up to find Lauren standing in front of him.

"Here, your consumption from yesterday, 310 true silver bullets and 51 thunderstones."

Lauren handed him a large box.

Rode took it happily and asked, "What about my Sunstone and Starlight Ruby Powder?"

Lauren said helplessly, "You will get them when the mission is completed. Let me tell you the situation first. You did a great job last night and saved us from being exposed. The news has spread now, so be careful tonight."

Rode nodded, "I understand."

---

After dusk, Rode set off again under the expectant gaze of Defense Chief Gals.

For some reason, the black mist today was a little lighter, and there were fewer monsters.

This made him unhappy.

I'm still waiting to upgrade my [Righteous Execution]. How can I do it without souls?

Rode wandered alone for a while, with very limited gains.

Just when he was feeling very bored and was about to go to the sewer to take a look, suddenly, he noticed a strange black shadow in a warehouse.

Judging from its black soul and the abundant spiritual energy all over its body, it should be a monster.

However, its soul waveform is different from that of ordinary monsters, very complex and changeable, somewhat like a human.

Rode felt strange and dug a small hole above the warehouse to look inside.

This made him almost sick.

He saw a huge gray-white brain, using organ-like intestines, devouring the flesh and blood on the ground.

What else could it be if not a monster?

Rode directly charged a thunderstone and threw it in.

With a loud noise, the entire warehouse collapsed.

A black line entered Rode's body.

[Soul of the Brain Eater]

It is indeed a monster.

Maybe its soul has some peculiarities.

But he was also puzzled. What is this warehouse? Were those flesh and blood killed civilians?

If so, why were they in the warehouse?

If not, how did they get into the warehouse?

Rode didn't quite understand. He reported this matter to the Defense Department through the Soul Raven Messenger and asked professionals to come and inspect.

He continued his patrol.

This time, Rode specifically paid attention to the warehouse-like buildings in the block.

Due to physical obstructions, the Eye of the Soul had to be closer to see the situation inside.

Sure enough, Rode found something wrong this time. He checked six warehouses, and three of them had the same situation, with two of them burying monsters underground.

This is definitely not a normal phenomenon.

Rode accelerated his search.

The Iron Ingot Block is very large, with over 50,000 households and a total length of more than 16 miles. There are more than 40 warehouse-like buildings.

Even if only half of them are counted, he can obtain 20 [Soul of the Brain Eater].

This is a medium-level soul, equivalent to at least more than 500 dust particles.

Just one thunderstone is enough.

Such a cheap thing is rare. If he doesn't seize the opportunity, he will definitely regret it.

While Rode was excitedly blowing up the warehouses, he suddenly saw several figures emerging from the houses on the side of the street. They had obvious spiritual energy gathering in their hands, pointing straight at him.

In an instant, Rode immediately knew that they were members of the Doomsday Cult. He somersaulted from the rooftop, and two gunshots rang in his ears as two white lines grazed past his head.

Hehe, you want to compare shooting with me?

Rode shot back, and the reinforced true silver bullet pierced through the wall, hitting another Doomsday Cult member on the other side, and then exploded.

His spiritual body shattered and disappeared from Rode's sight.

This novel is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

A black line flew over and entered Rode's chest.

[A Very Weak Soul]

Tsk, not very lucky.

Rode quickly stood up and moved along the corner of the wall. Many figures around him were approaching, obviously unable to bear it anymore and wanted to rush at him to kill him.

But, you are too naive.

Rode raised his hand and shot again. The true silver bullet pierced through the wall and killed the person who was ambushing him at the corner.

[Soul of Keso]

Then, he moved backward and circled behind two people who were trying to approach him from behind, directly shooting them both.

[A Very Weak Soul]

[Soul of Bella]

Another shot hit a person who jumped out from behind cover and wanted to charge at him. His right foot was still raised in mid-air and was blown off by Rode's shot.

[A Very Weak Soul]

In an instant, Rode killed five people, and the other Doomsday Cult members were scared and cowered.

However, the Eye of the Soul is not just ordinary spiritual vision. It has the function of identification and searching. The souls that Rode has observed will take some time to completely disappear from his sight.

Rode walked along the street, and he saw a soul hiding behind a very thick stone wall.

It was a damaged house with debris everywhere, but it could be seen that the former owner used very solid materials. Rode could tell at a glance that it was impossible for a true silver bullet to penetrate.

But it doesn't matter, Rode accurately found a crack on the wall, and the person's half body was tightly against the crack.

He raised his hand and shot, and the bullet accurately passed through the crack and hit the Doomsday Cult member, killing him on the spot. A black line flew over.

[A Very Weak Soul]

Rode frowned slightly. The probability of these cultists obtaining intact souls here is very low.

He walked forward quickly, with the help of the Eye of the Soul, he killed all the remaining Doomsday Cult members without missing a single one.

Actually, Rode didn't want to kill them, but Lauren and the others still had no movement, and he didn't know whether to call them or not. He wanted to capture them alive, but he had never practiced close combat.

If something went wrong, wouldn't that be extremely foolish?

After clearing the area, Rode quickly filled the soul gun with bullets and planned to search the house where they had stayed before.

At this moment, he saw a large group of people rushing up from under a house, as if there was a tunnel below.

Rode didn't hesitate, he lit a thunderstone and threw it in through a ventilation opening on the roof.

With a loud bang, a huge thunder light surged out of the house, blowing the walls in all directions, and the roof collapsed directly and fell to the ground.

33 [Very Weak Souls]

A bit of a loss.

Just as Rode was about to dig through the ruins to see where the underground passage led, suddenly he saw Lauren and twelve others rushing towards him.

They were shining with spiritual light all over their bodies, already exerting their full strength.

They seemed to be shouting something, but Rode couldn't hear them.

Rode became nervous and a little confused. He looked around and finally found something wrong.

The air around him was slightly distorted, as if there was an invisible barrier separating him from the outside world.

The barrier gradually turned black, and several powerful black shadows held back Lauren and the others. One of the black shadows broke through the barrier and rushed in.

Rode immediately recognized that person. It was the Black Priest Selmie who loved to eat shit and perform small movies.

A cruel smile appeared on her face, like a spotted snake.

"You little bastard, I originally wanted to let you go, but I didn't expect you to force us to this point. Don't blame me."
