Its eyes were completely filled with murky blackness, and when it opened its mouth to roar, it spewed out a thick, corrosive black mist, and its aura instantly surged to nearly the level of black iron.
"Roar!!" They stomped their limbs on the ground, causing rocks to crack and their figures to rise in black mist, transforming into more than a dozen black meteors that tore through the gale and rushed towards Han Ning and Xuebing who were blocking their way from different directions.
"Snow Cracker, activate the full gravity field!"
Han Ning roared, his body erupted in starlight, and his wings flapped forward, unleashing a torrential downpour of burning starlight feathers that struck the black figures.
"Ow!"
With a roar, Snowcake's claws rippled with a dim yellow gravity aura, surging upwards from their center.
The moment those dozen or so mutated water ghosts rushed into the area, their speed suddenly stopped, as if they had sunk into an invisible quagmire.
Boom boom boom!
The Starfire Feather clashed violently with the mutated water ghouls, and the explosions and shockwaves continued. The mutated creatures at the forefront were blasted, their scales shattered, and black blood splattered, interrupting their charge.
But more mutated water ghouls withstood the explosion and the pressure of gravity, their claws tearing through the flames as they pounced fiercely.
One of the mutant's claws ripped straight into Xuebing's chest, while the other opened its mouth and spewed out a corrosive black mist, enveloping Han Ning.
Snowcake neither dodged nor evaded; its giant claw, covered in thick scales and imbued with an earthy yellow light, slammed out, clashing head-on with the sharp claw.
boom!
The shockwave exploded, and Xuebing's figure swayed slightly, while the mutated water zombie was sent flying backward by the force, its arm bent unnaturally.
Han Ning's figure blurred as he switched to the Molten Gold War Tiger form, unleashing scorching golden flames that evaporated the enveloping corrosive black mist.
He pounced, his burning claws clashing violently with the bone spurs of another mutant, producing a piercing screeching sound and flying sparks.
More mutated water ghouls swarmed around, their claws, bone spikes, and black mist attacking from all directions.
Han Ning and Xue Bing stood back to back, their roars mingling with the howls of tigers and lizards. Golden flames and pillars of lava erupted violently as they engaged in a fierce battle with these dozen or so powerful mutants, using claw strikes, tail sweeps, and energy clashes.
The ground is cracked and collapsed, and the rocks are melting or corroding with a hissing sound.
Although they are individually stronger, there are too many mutants, and they are completely fearless, attacking without any defense.
Chapter 264 One man becomes an army
It is indeed a level 15 existence.
With his formidable strength, Han Ning suppressed seven or eight enhanced water ghosts in the blink of an eye.
In the distance, the aged priest watched indifferently, his bone staff slamming into the ground once more. Behind him, more ordinary water ghouls and black snakes began to bypass the battle, attempting to overtake them and continue pursuing the retreating group.
"We can't let them pass by."
Green flames rose in Han Ning's eyes.
A burst of emerald light shot into the sky, and his figure rapidly expanded within the light.
A nearly 30-meter-tall ancient tree with a vigorous trunk, lush branches and leaves, and surging life energy suddenly appeared.
Thick roots burrow into the ground, and the emerald green canopy casts countless soft spots of light.
Based on the ancient tree form of the Emerald Tree Spirit.
At the same time, the [Will of the Fungus Master] underwent a strange change under the blessing of the life energy of the ancient tree.
The originally pale sac has undergone a subtle change in its internal structure.
Instead, countless spores, shimmering with a pale blue light like miniature stars, spread out from the ancient tree of life, enveloping the entire front line of the battlefield.
These blue spores preferentially burrow into the remains of water ghouls and black snakes that were previously killed by Han Ning and Xue Bing, as well as those that died fighting the mutants.
next moment.
The fallen corpses convulsed violently, and all sorts of bizarre shapes sprouted from their surfaces at a visible speed: mushrooms and fungal spots emitting a pale blue fluorescence.
These "fungal corpses" wobbled and stood up again, and dense, vein-like mycelia crawled out from their empty eye sockets.
Soon, these hyphae enveloped their entire bodies.
Immediately afterwards, the mycelium transformed into palm-sized mushrooms at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The mushroom continued to expel more spores.
In an instant, the area around Han Ning was shrouded in a misty green spore fog.
Even the wind can't blow it away.
Those who were parasitized by the spores were stronger and faster than when they were alive, and completely ignored their injuries, fearlessly rushing towards the ordinary water ghosts and black snakes that were trying to circling around them.
puff!
A black serpent-like corpse covered in umbrella-shaped mushrooms suddenly whipped its tail, shattering the bones of an ordinary water ghoul.
A dozen or so water-goblin fungus corpses, each with half its head covered in green moss, had claws that became exceptionally sharp, easily tearing through the scales of their companions.
Moreover, the cyanobacterial spores scattered on the ground, nourished by the ancient tree's boundless vitality, frantically absorbed nutrients from the earth, broke through the soil, and grew freely.
Giant mushrooms, some three or four meters tall, with green and white caps, thick stems, and shimmering blue veins on their surfaces, sprout up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
They crowded together and connected, forming a nearly 100-meter-long, incredibly thick, pale mushroom-shaped barrier on the mountain path in the blink of an eye.
This eerie fungal wall forcefully blocked the advance of the water ghoul army.
The frantically charging water ghouls and black snakes crashed into the soft yet extremely resilient fungal wall, unable to break through. Instead, they were stained by the viscous blue liquid automatically secreted by the fungal wall, causing their movements to become sluggish and fungal spots to spread on their bodies.
The enhanced water ghouls that Han Ning killed twitched incessantly, their black aura hissing as if being scorched.
Then, countless tiny mushrooms sprouted.
A faint green light shone in their eye sockets, and they stood up unsteadily, transforming into seven or eight green shooting stars, before turning and rushing towards the old water ghoul priest behind the army.
While manipulating the spores, Han Ning clearly sensed that each of the parasitized and transformed monsters was like a tiny energy node, with wisps of weak energy flowing back through the invisible network.
The spiritual and mental energy that had been rapidly depleted due to the large-scale spore release gradually stopped declining, and even showed signs of slow recovery.
"it is good!"
Han Ning was greatly encouraged; the branches and leaves of the ancient tree moved swiftly without wind, and the emerald green light shone even brighter.
While maintaining his massive army of fungal zombies to withstand the frontal assault, he guided the seven or eight strongest fungal zombie mutants straight into the enemy's core.
"Roar!" Snowcake roared, slamming its claws hard against the ground.
Rumble!
Thicker and sharper walls of rock spikes burst forth from the ground, piercing through the water ghouls and black snakes that were trying to flank them.
The lava breath swept across like an iron plow, clearing out a large area of the dense enemy ranks.
The spore fog grew thicker and thicker, almost covering the entire front line of the battlefield.
The green fungal corpses felt no pain, were unafraid of death, and frantically tore apart their former companions.
The combined forces of the water corpse demon and the black snake were actually stopped by this man and lizard, and even began to push back!
……
Meanwhile, in a frozen forest southwest of the highland outpost, more than a dozen figures were traversing the wind and snow at an astonishing speed, approaching the battlefield.
The leader was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and anxious eyes. An invisible aura surrounded him, automatically pushing away the wind and snow in front of him.
This man was none other than Gu Cheng, the leader of the high ground outpost.
"Faster!" Gu Cheng roared, increasing his speed once again, almost becoming a blur.
A younger-looking man in a military green cotton-padded jacket easily caught up and offered words of comfort:
"Chief Gu, relax. Your highland outpost is the strongest of the five major settlements in terms of overall strength. It has solid facilities and ample firepower. It won't be easy to break through."
Gu Cheng shook his head, his brows furrowed: "Colonel Li Feng, you don't understand. This time, the feeling is completely different... I'm very panicked."
He said no more and just kept his head down and continued on his way.
Seeing this, Colonel Li Feng stopped trying to persuade them and gestured to the team members behind him.
The group of more than a dozen people pushed themselves to the limit.
The closer they got, the more astonishing the commotion from ahead became.
Chief Gu's expression grew increasingly strange.
"Why are there so many monster roars..."
He didn't even hear human cries.
My heart skipped a beat.
When they finally reached a high point on the southwest side of the high ground outpost, everyone stopped in their tracks, stunned by the sight before them that was completely beyond their imagination.
"This is……"
The former highland outpost was now mostly destroyed by the monster army.
The rooftops, under the eaves, and on the roads were filled with water ghosts and black snake monsters of all sizes.
On the road leading down the hillside.
A massive ancient tree, nearly twenty meters tall, stands majestically, its entire body radiating a magnificent emerald green aura.
Countless dark green vines, hundreds of meters long and as thick as giant pythons, dance wildly around the ancient tree.
They blotted out the sky, their green pythons dancing wildly, easily piercing through the water ghosts and black snakes that pounced on them.
The air was filled with a thick, ghastly green cloud of spores. Wherever this cloud passed, the corpses on the ground twitched and rose up, transforming into bizarre fungal corpses that retaliated against their former companions.
Chapter 265 Black Tide Source, Destruction Plan
"Roar!!"
"Sigh~"
Even more astonishingly, a monstrous beast with a ferocious appearance and covered in dark red scales, resembling both a dragon and a lizard, was leading hundreds of mushroom-covered water ghosts and black snakes with glowing green eyes, charging left and right.
They forcefully routed the astonishingly large monster army, forcing them into a series of defeats.
With each stomp of the behemoth, massive rocks crashed into the enemy ranks, unleashing a violent shockwave.
Located behind the Black Tide army, there were hundreds of creatures of various shapes, each radiating at least the Great Black Stone level of energy, with dozens of them even exhibiting the powerful energy of the Black Iron level.
